❝ Her eyes hold everything my soul thirsts for ❞ : KEVIN'S POV : I watch my kitten playing with Aaron giggling carelessly and chirping in joy. My wife. My Rosalia. I do possess everything a man can desire for but calling her mine brings me the maximum satisfaction. The only thing that is good in my life right now is her. I was determined to make her mine the moment I saw her. Her innocence and purity tempted me to taint her. I was captivated by her naivety. I don't remember sleeping with the same girl twice. I have always used girls for pleasure. In my world, all the girls were the same. Only my name was enough reason for them to spread their legs even before asking for it. But my doll is different. She was always different. I married her cause something in her attracted me. An unknown thread of feelings pulled me towards her. Sooner or later, I need to have an heir eventually, and she could not be more perfect for that. I knew she would make the perfect little wife. B
ROSALIA's POV : My phone beeped multiple times causing me to wake up. It was dark. The lights were out. I remembered passing out while Kevin was fucking me like I was some rag doll. I tried to sit but failed miserably as two strong arms were holding me in place. I slowly removed his hand, which was right under my breast, and sat up. Grabbing my phone from the nightstand I checked on my notifications. I had received multiple messages from an unknown number. Who can probably text me at this hour? It was three in the morning. What I read in texts left me baffled. -Hey, Rosalia, it's Luca. Remember we met in the club that day. -To be detailed we talked about your parents that day. -It's urgent and I have something important to inform you. I never thought I'd get to talk to Luca again. I decided to text him back. -How did you get my number? His reply popped up on my screen instantly. - It took me days to get your number but I wanted to talk to you about something imp
❝ I'll use you, own you and make you mine forever ❞ THIRD PERSON POV_______________For the first time after many days, Rose could not stop smiling. Seeing her sister so delighted made her very satisfied. Even though Rosalia begged him not to, Kevin took them to the most expensive restaurant nearby. A lavish birthday cake, wonderful decorations and an enormous number of gifts were arranged for Emilia. The celebrity chef of the restaurant personally prepared her favourite dishes. Both of the sisters never really celebrated their birthdays properly after their mother's death. It was certainly a happy day for them.After dropping Emilia at her place, they were now coming back to the mansion."Thank you for today," Rose said what she genuinely felt."It's the least I could do" Kevin smiled at her. "Did you find that man who attacked us that day?" She asked as she noticed the number of cars following their car was more than usual. "My men are taking care of that" he informed."Will y
❝She calms my chaos that ignites deeper within❞ _____________ : ROSALIA'S POV : _____________ Things have been a lot different lately. That night, Kevin took me again and again until I lost consciousness and he kept repeating to me the lines about how he can find me from anywhere in the world even if I manage to escape and why I should not even think of such a foolish act for my own good. And after that night, Kevin is behaving quite strangely. When he works in his home office, he would make me sit inside the office all the time. I find it extremely boring, but like always, that does not count. Someday he would come home earlier and have dinner with me. And someday he would just drag me to the dining table awfully early in the morning just to have breakfast with me. Among these, the most confusing is that he would bring me gifts and red roses sometimes at night. I fear the purpose behind his unlike nature. What if he is done with me and planning to murder me real soon, an
ROSALIA'S POV: -------------- Among all the decorations I had seen, this one was extraordinary. It was so gorgeous yet so sober. A party was being thrown at the Knight's mansion on the occasion of Kevin's birthday. According to Kevin, it was a very private party, unlike the other years. The very important persons, which summed up around 120 people, were invited. He had also sent his driver to pick up Emilia. I was happy that I would be able to see my sister again. My makeup was done and I was already dressed in an off-shoulder knee-length dress when the guests started arriving. I recognised some faces from the wedding but most of them were unknown to me. John was hosting the party, and soon Kevin entered in a black suit, looking as charming as ever. Each and everyone's attention shifted towards us when Kevin brought me to the stage with him holding my hand. "Good evening everyone. I am glad that you all are present here to celebrate my birthday. I would like to utilise this ch
ROSALIA'S POV: -------------- Proposed me! He threatened me into all these and I am still kept like a captive here. "It was nothing special," I said hesitantly. "So you were working as Kate's PA when Kevin met you right?" Another of them questioned. "No. A ground staff" I answered. I was certain that they already knew all these but still, they were taunting me in a sweet tone. "Oh, I see. Luck is a dangerous thing. Isn't it girls? Otherwise, we never assumed Kevin to even look at an ordinary girl like Rosalia." She said and the others laughed. "Please teach us, Rosalia, what tricks did you use to seduce Kevin!" Another one said. "You must be really good at it 'cause Kevin is too smart to be seduced." "You totally ruined my future chances with him, girl. He was too good on the bed to be forgotten." That girl with green hair huffed out. They kept sprinkling salt on my open wounds. I felt like crying out loud. Why do they hate me so much when I'm the one who shou
: ROSALIA's POV : ----------------- I don't know the difference between my place and Paris cause I never stepped out of the villa! It's been three days since we have been here in Paris, and we are staying in a luxury villa owned by Kevin. Kevin had fucked me almost every hour of the day. He had fucked me in each and every corner of the villa. I should have understood what kind of fun he was talking about and he is indeed having a lot of it. It is terrible and shameful that I have only been eating, sleeping and having sex for the past three days. What is the meaning of coming here if all we do is sex? It is a torture rather than a trip. Never in my life have I thought I would want to go back to that cage-like mansion, but I want it now. I was peeking out of the window early in the morning when he pulled me in for a deep smooch. He parted out after I tapped his bare chest indicating that I was out of breath. "Please I want to go sightseeing. I want to explore the city ple
KEVIN'S POV -------------- Her gape dropped on an aquarium shop on the side of the road and she scrambled inside it. I followed her behind. She somehow managed to stand in front of the fish tanks. "Do you want me to buy you this, kitten?" I asked as she was looking at the fishes like an eager baby. "No ... I- I ... I want them to go back to the sea" Before I could restrain her actions, she dipped her hand in a tank containing bubble eye goldfish. The shopkeeper came rushing towards us while I yanked her hand out of it. She gripped a goldfish in her small hands tightly. After a bit of struggling, I saved the fish's life and put it back in the tank. "I want everything you have in this shop back in their place", she wailed in a slurping tone, making the shopkeeper awkwardly smile at her drunken condition. "Kevin ... Kevin ... order her to free the fishes, octopuses and everything", she demanded while clenching my shirt in her fists when she discovered the shopkeeper was not
• • •After Kevin finished a few remaining paper works and delivered them to John, both Rose and Kevin descended from Kevin's home office to the hall area. Rose had invited a special guest to dinner today, Susan, a very close friend of hers from high school. She could have invited her at any time of the day but she intentionally chose the dinner time on the weekend where every family member would be present. But that was exactly what Rose hoped for. Susan, currently pursuing a master's in clinical psychology at Stanford, is always praised for her brilliance in the field. Rose was desperate to do something with Kate's deceit that's why she sought help from her friend, Susan. Rose involved herself in a small chatter with Susan before the dinner, and then at the dining table, Rose strategically seated Susan next to Kate, hoping her keen insight would expose Kate's true nature before it was too late. The others in the family will see the truth through Susan's professional eye or
"See, even the lady can suggest better alternatives than you guys," utter annoyance was evident on Kevin's face as he slammed the last file onto the table, he was running short on his temper but did not shout those words like he usually does, thanks to the quieting presence of his wife, Rosalia. Today’s conference was supposed to focus on innovative strategies for generating new business ideas. But presentation after presentation had failed to spark even a flicker of intrigue, whereas Rose suggested, why don't they try on ethical diamond jewellery? They could focus on sourcing conflict-free diamonds and using eco-friendly materials for the designs and even create custom high-end pieces that tell a story about the origin of each diamond, making every piece unique and special. People would love knowing that their beautiful jewellery also supports good causes and the environment. Even though that's out the Knight's current priority deals but what Rose suggested was commendable, consi
•It was concerning, the image on the mirror showing the little baby bump was genuinely concerning for Rose. From what she knew, she was not supposed to have a baby bump just at the beginning of her second trimester. While pulling up the side chains of her dress, Rose was studying her body. She was getting ready for her first ever ultrasound scheduled by the doctor. "Don't worry, maybe you are going to have twins," Agatha said softly reading the worry written all over Rose's face. "Yes. It's quite likely. The second pregnancy in this family is always twins," Maria added from nearby while her hands were busy collecting the breakfast plates. That was not incorrect. Kate and Daniel are also twins. Does that mean I am also having twins! Rose was so scared and confused, not having an idea how to feel. The thought of twins was overwhelming. Rose just wished for a moment of clarity, a sign that everything will be okay. Rosalia felt anxious all the way to the hospital while Kevin br
Rose was not as paranoid as she had been before. She was resting against the bedframe leisurely reading a magazine after having dinner while Kevin entered the room post workout. For the past few days, Rose gave it a thought about how she should put the issue of Kate in front of Kevin. If not directly still somehow she wanted to convince him of something being wrong. But when Kevin emerged out of the bathroom, his trousers were hanging loosely around his waist revealing the chiselled perfection of his lower abs. He casually rubbed his wet hair with the towel letting the droplets of water trace the sharp lines of his jaw and the sculpted muscles of his chest. The seductive scent of his cologne mixed with the freshness of his shower created an intoxicating aroma that braced the air around Rose. As he walked past the bed, Rose could not help but stare, her eyes devouring the view, her mouth opened and closed like a little goldfish out of the water. Lately, her every emotion fe
She felt like the closest I would ever get to salvation Yet I wanted to pull her into the depths of my darkness ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kevin was raging through his bones, rage coursing through his veins settling every muscle on fire. Kevin's irate presence filled their room with palpable menace. Rosalia all worried and pale could read his anger weighing down her heavy heart. The sight of abortion pills hidden in Rosalia's medicine box ignited a storm of frustration inside him, a mix of betrayal and helplessness that he could not contain and swept everything within his reach off the surface in an attempt to pacify his anger. Rose, her eyes were filled with trepidation yet fixed on him. Beneath all her fear, there lay a deep, twisted dependence and an unspoken yearning for assurance and safety. Despite everything, Kevin was the only person who cared about her pregnancy more than herself and that seemed to be closing in on her. Exhausted and desperate, Rose felt her legs move before he
⚘ Miliani's heart filled with delight. In the past days when she was in the Romanos shelter, she used to fear being eighteen. She knew something horrible was going to happen to her whenever she would turn eighteen. From what the other maids told her about that surrogacy and stuff, she was fortified to her core. But now she is in a different place far away from those evil minded people, life is really unpredictable, she appraised. She drifted off into her own thoughts when one of Emilia's friends accidentally spilled some mocktail on her dress staining the white cloth in deep blue. She mouthed a 'sorry' before casually passing by. Miliani quickly reached for the stairs, it was her only decent outfit, she urgently needed to clean it up. Just as she reached for the doorknob, a firm hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, slamming her lithe body against the hard wall. Daniel's icy blue eyes bore into her terrified ones, there was no one except for them in the passage. "W
. Rosalia never wanted to try something so daring. Rose gave it a thousand thoughts at least. After that fateful night, she discussed everything with Miliani and demanded to know about the explanations behind her intuitions. The only person bearing the reason for harming Rose is no other than Kate. Daniel is like the shadow of Kevin, even if the shadow faltered Daniel never would. That much Rose knew. But stating Kevin would bring no help, she was certain. If Kevin digs into this matter, a bunch of random maids would pay the price of their lives nothing else, he would never suspect his sister. Rose desperately hoped her suspicions were wrong, though she feared they weren't. Rose never wanted to think of Kate harbouring such malice towards her. In between these thoughts, Rose somehow despised herself for becoming like this, being drawn into these webs of deceit and immorality. Her heart skipped a beat as she brought the uncapped poison bottle near the plate but she kept her face
⚘ ' Mili ' that was what written in cursive on the small wrapped up box which a maid delivered to Miliani this morning. ' If you don't come downstairs wearing it, I'll come upstairs for you - D ' If this small note was not attached to it, Miliani would have returned it already. Even though she could not understand why Daniel would want to give her something, her fear of him was so profound that she dared not to defy him. Miliani clutched the small roll paper in her hand while entering her room with the box on her other hand. Emilia had already begun preparing herself for the evening ahead. Emilia batted her eyes with utter annoyance towards Miliani. If letting Miliani stay inside her bedroom was not enough, Miliani even managed to get on her elder sister Rose's good side, on top of that Emilia came to know that their birthday also coincided on the same fucking day. She had enough reasons already to hate this unwanted girl but crashing her special day was something totall
• It was past midnight when Rose's sweet tooth ached for no reason, unabling her to sleep peacefully. Even though Kevin instructed her to ask him first if she needs anything at anytime still surrendering to the toll of this pregnancy, Rose quietly tiptoed out of her room. Stepping down to the first floor, she observed a dim light coming from the side of the aisle. She had noticed the same thing the previous night as well. As curiosity piqued, she followed the source only to find Miliani reading a book under a study lamp, sitting outside of her and Emilia's room. Not expecting someone to intrude here at this time, Miliani looked up at Rose in unease. "You can use the desk inside your room" Rose suggested. Their room is quite large for two people, there is no need to be seated like that on the floor that is too late in the night. "I did not want to disturb her sleep," Mili answered with a slight smile referring to Emilia. Emilia prefers to sleep in the dark not even allowing
