ROSALIA's POV --------------- The only answer that came across my mind was no. I know he is not the person he is portraying himself to be now. He will change anytime and at the end of the day, will treat me like a whore, an object. My emotions were at their peak. I could not help but shed tears in my heartache undesiredly even though I was really tired of crying. "What's wrong?" Kevin gently asked while wiping them away. I wish I could tell him but I can not share my miseries with him when he is the cause of it. "Tomorrow is my mom's death anniversary. I want to visit her grave and the orphanage. Can I? Please!" My voice cracked. "Of course you can. You don't need to cry about such silly things." He carried me off to the bed with ease. "What did the doctor say?" He asked while getting me out of my dress diligently. "I accidentally took a medicine twice that's why felt sick" I was cautious enough to enter all of the patient's data wrong. He will never be able to fin
ROSALIA'S POV --------------- I quickly pulled up the cloth of my turtle neck top to hide that fresh stinging spot while moving downstairs. I turned towards the dining table when I heard the very familiar voice of Aaron calling my name. That means, he also returned from Marseille with Kevin last night. I rushed-ly got myself there to bid goodbye to my favourite person in this whole mansion. It would have been certainly impossible for me to survive this place and the people without this little boy's company. "Good morning! Pretty boy," I smiled, standing near him. "No, I am not pretty; I am handsome", He huffed at me being angry. I found it hard to not laugh. "Oh! How stupid of me to call a handsome young man pretty" I stooped down to his level. He giggled cutely listening to me. "Where are your mama and Eric?" I questioned. "I don't know. I did not see them there" He said. Odd! If they are not there, then where are they? Kevin is also flying back to Marseille today then
ROSALIA's POV---------------"Rose" my father's known voice steadied my quivering nerves. The cloud of my uncertainties cleared away. I have not been wronged. I'm finally free! I saw my dad coming down the stairs towards me. The light was dim but it did not obstacle me from detailing my father's face. He is in his early fifties now. Folds and ridges of ageing have embraced his face beautifully. That could be clearly seen when he came much closer. "How are you, child?" He asked as he used to do back in those days after coming back from the long trips. Frustrated, depressed, stressed, destroyed and broken that's all I had in my mind. "I am fine!" Only these three words I could find to answer back with a feeble smile. "Oh see! My little girl has grown up into an amazing young woman" Dad hugged me, and I hugged him back heartily. "You must be very tired. Let me take you to your room." He said concernedly and took me to a room that was at the corner of that ground floor.
ROSALIA'S POV -------------- So, the first thing I attempted to do after entering the room was to grab my passport. I opened the closet where I had carefully kept my passport but it was not there. I searched thrice .. my passport was not there in the closet. I checked under the mattress, in the other drawers and in every corner of that room. I did not even leave the bathroom cabinets but my passport was nowhere to be seen. Panic hugged over my senses immediately. I hastily reached through the stairs, directly towards Dad's bedroom. He could inquire the maids if they had seen my passport. "e se fosse scappata?" I heard Luca blurting frustratedly when I was about to knock on that bedroom's door. (What if she escaped?) "Mi dispiace davvero, signore" Alice's voice also could be heard from outside. (I am really sorry, sir) The environment inside there sounded heated even though I could not understand the meanings. Sounded like Alice was getting scolded. With no intention to eavesd
ROSALIA's POV -------------- An hour passed by in a flash. And I got another consternation of feelings discovering the time in the wall clock. Whereas the other days I feel extremely sleepy by this time, today I am wide awake with zero sleep in my eyes. I noticed that dinner plate. They always have been insisting me on having food properly. But these simple gestures, words of affection everything appears vile to me now. Also, I always have been doubting how was I sleeping so deep like a dead person. Not taking the risk of having dinner or even water, I flushed the whole food down the toilet along with the juice. I suspect, there was some kind of sleeping drugs in my dinner from the very first day I came here. Otherwise, an over-thinker like me can not sleep so easily in a new place surrounded by these negative vibed people. I put the comforter over my head and pretended to sleep when I heard someone entering the room. Must be Alice or the other maid. That person sounded to co
ROSALIA's POV ---------------- I could not trust my eyes at that moment. "You have no fucking idea how much I want to kill you right now" Daniel seethed in front of me while I was still not able to process his unanticipated presence. He swept me off my feet with a sudden pull towards him. "Corri, se non vuoi che ti svuoti questa pistola nella testa." Daniel bellowed at them making me flinch. There was a gun in his other hand to my horror. (Run if you don't want me to empty this gun in your head) "tu donna avida! ti ho detto di acconsentire più velocemente." That man spat at his woman but they wasted no second in rushing away from there while arguing with each other. (you greedy woman! I told you to agree faster) I was this close to getting in my desired way. Then this had to happen! "Get in the car", He commanded me the next moment, pointing his gun towards a black car behind him. I could not help but shake my head with complete disagreement while attempting to jer
ROSALIA's POV -------------- Instead of the airport or any transportal place, Daniel stopped his car's engine right in front of a tall building that was under construction. I moved my eyeballs upwards but could not see the end of it from inside the car. Within a heartbeat I found Daniel opening the door of my side. "Please just let me go!" I almost cried to him. Why did he bring me here? Perhaps planning to kill me by pushing me off the highest floor. He broke me out of my thoughts by pulling me out of the car instantly. Another similar car was also parked nearby, I noticed. My heart began racing at a rapid pace. That means someone else is also present here! What if it's Kevin? Paying no attention to my continuous pleadings Daniel got us inside the lift of that building and pressed the floor number 12. Eventually, one by one, floors were passing, moving the lift upwards, and my apprehensions were going higher as well. I fear what will I answer to Kevin! I will not be able
ROSALIA's POV ---------------"Did your beloved father not tell you that he is the one responsible for trying to kill you back on that day." Kevin informed. He is not lying. Dad tried to sell me for money. So it won't surprise me that he tried to kill me. But I wanted to know the reason. "Why did he do that?" I questioned. "Simply because you were with me." He answered, looking back at Dad and clenched his jaws in anger. "He was the one who fucking poisoned my mother for money with the help of our enemies, then hid here for years, and now was planning to sell you to them after discovering that you are my wife. I don't think this traitor deserves any less than lifelong lavish torture." Kevin declared with quieted anger. "Not only that, he married again here in Italy, but also before separating from your mother. So that Luca is apparently your father's stepson that means your stepbrother." Daniel spoke from our side. I looked at Dad, whose face had no source of regret in
