Roseline's POV

Have you heard the voice of heartbreak?

I heard it just now!

When I saw that girl with Vincenzo,.

It was as if someone had sucked the air out of the room, leaving an unsettling silence that dominated the environment. My whole world seemed to crumble before my eyes.

Vincenzo's gaze met mine, and I felt as if he could see right through me, piercing into the depths of my soul. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the girl standing beside him, trying to make sense of the emotions swirling within me. Jealousy, hurt, and confusion clashed like a storm inside me, leaving me paralyzed.

"Who... Who is she, brother?" Kevin's voice broke through the heavy silence, but I was too taken aback to ask anything myself. Fear gripped me, afraid of what Vincenzo's response might reveal.

"Rose," he said calmly, and the words felt like a dagger stabbing into my heart. "My Rose."

His Rose...

The one whom he always missed.

The one he misunderstood me as her.

    Vincenzo's POVThe manager gave us a private room as requested.In the private room, we finally had the space and time to open up to each other. I couldn't contain the flood of questions and emotions that had been bottled up for so long."Where were you, Rose?" I asked her."I was waiting for you, Enzo," she replied in her trembling voice."I searched for you everywhere. But I couldn't find you," I told her. "I came back after the vacation, but you were not there, and your home was gone too.""That's because it was demolished so that the one who was behind our accident could remove all the evidence," she revealed.Her words hit me like a punch to the gut. I knew all too well who was behind that accident—my own parents. It was a bitter truth that I had been carrying in my heart all these years. I stayed silent at the moment because I knew I would lose her before even getting her back into my life if I told her the truth. I wanted to hear her first."I heard that you and your parents di

    Roseline's POV"Roseline." Kevin nudged me with force, pulling me back from my reverie. I looked at him, and he pointed discreetly at the professor, reminding me that I was in the middle of a class.Startled, I turned my attention to the professor, who had been calling my name for quite some time. Embarrassment flushed my cheeks as I realized that I had been lost in my own world, completely unaware of the lecture."Yes," I stammered, trying to gather my composure."Where are you lost?" He asked in a stern voice.I shook my head, pretending that I was here, present in the class."You have been admitted after passing the scholarship exam. I didn't expect this behaviour from you." His voice was cold but not as cold as Vincenzo's.I could feel tears pricking my eyes but I blinked multiple times to control my emotions and instead of saying anything, I just kept my silence."Don't you have anything to say?" He asked."I am sorry, sir." I apologized.He nodded.As the bell rang, signaling th

    Roseline's POV"Hello"I picked up the call and answered as if it were from my legal husband, Vincenzo."Where are you?" he barked, his tone aggressive and controlling.I took a deep breath, trying to remain composed despite his demeanor. The person who really shows his emotions has now started losing control so easily.Standing up, I made my way to the corner, as I didn't want my sister Mary or the kids to hear our conversation. I have always told them that I am very happy and don't have any problems in my life."Very much alive," I replied to him.I could sense him taking sharp breaths, perhaps surprised by my response. But it didn't matter to me if he was taken aback; after all, there were many things about him that I hadn't expected either."Don't test my patience, Roseline. You know it's not tough for me to find out where you are! Still, I'm asking you like a gentleman."Like a gentleman?Really?His recent actions were far from gentlemanly."At the orphanage," I replied, choosin

    As the driver parked the car in the garage I saw Vincenzo's car as well. He is back home which took me by surprise because it is not his time to come back. Drawing a deep breath and preparing myself to talk to him I stepped ahead. As I entered the home I found Kevin passing through. He gave me a reassuring smile as soon as he saw me before disappearing into his room. The words that he said to me at the college repeated in my head. As I scanned the house, I couldn't spot her anywhere. My heart felt a mix of relief and anxiety, hoping I wouldn't have to face her just yet.The silence all around the house was not giving me good vibes. Ignoring everything I just made my way towards the room with the hope that I would find him but he was nowhere to be seen. Glad! Perhaps he was in his study or spending time with Rose, the thought of which stung me.Pushing aside those emotions, I placed my bag on the bed and sat down, feeling more tired than usual.

    Roseline's POV"Rose," Vincenzo called.I reflexively started to stand up, assuming he was addressing me, but then I realized he was talking to his lover, the woman he now cherished, not me. Kevin noticed my initial reaction and gave me a sympathetic smile, understanding my embarrassment. My cheeks flushed crimson, and I tried my best to appear unfazed by the mistake.Vincenzo didn't even look at me as if I didn't even exist. I averted my gaze, feeling a pang of hurt deep inside. I had hoped that by now I would be immune to such moments, but it is still hurting. Every night I lay on the bed and pretended to sleep before he could come out of his study or back from Rose's room. I couldn't sleep until he returned but what hurts me is that he now sleeps at a hand distance from me. He doesn't cuddle the way he used to. "I have provided everything that you might need, but you could tell me if you need anything else," Vincenzo said to his Rose, breaking the chain of my thoughts. She nodde

Now that I am taking the tablets daily, I am feeling a bit better. Vincenzo has changed them after consulting the doctor, and it seems like the doctor has increased the dose. Whatever may be the case, they are giving me relief, and these days, I feel so dizzy that I cannot go without those tablets.Sometimes, it feels like he is giving me tablets of something else, disguising them as vitamins, but as long as they are helping me, I don't mind. I have to admit that I feel somewhat dependent on them now, but I have no other choice. The tablets have become a part of my daily routine, and without them, I fear I won't be able to function properly.Taking a deep breath, I shake off those overwhelming thoughts and divert my focus to the tasks at hand for today.

As the crowd continued to part and make way, a tall, dashing figure walked in, drawing everyone's attention. It was indeed Vincenzo, looking as handsome and charismatic as ever. He seemed to be in a different aura, radiating a charm that captivated everyone present. His dark hair was tousled just enough to give him that effortless yet perfectly styled look. When does he get the time to style his hair? He sported a pair of sleek sunglasses that added an air of mystery to his already captivating presence. Heads turned, and whispers spread as people noticed his arrival.It was the first time that I had seen him in public and I didn't know that he was so famous. "Aww,

I responded, bending down to his level.Our children had grown so fast, and it seemed like just yesterday when I was carrying them in my belly, experiencing their little kicks and wiggles. Soon, they will start going to school as well. "Chocolate," he requested, his tiny hand reaching out and his big, hopeful eyes locked onto mine. He was blinking up at me innocently with a pout on his lips. I couldn't help but chuckle at his irresistible charm. "But you already had some today, my love," I said gently, aware of the perils of too much chocolate for a young child. "You know that having too much can give you cavities in your teeth."He pouted a little more, his eyes welling up with tiny tears."Mommy, plea

My heart raced with anticipation as I approached the mirror. When I finally gazed upon my reflection, my jaw dropped, and my eyes widened in sheer disbelief.I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was me, but at the same time, it felt like an entirely different person staring back at me. The transformation was astonishing.Before this moment, I had rarely worn makeup, and the sight of myself in such an exquisite wedding dress, adorned with intricate makeup and hair styling, left me feeling completely transformed. It was as if I had stepped into a dream, and I marveled at the beautiful bride that I had become.For the first time in my life, I saw myself as truly beautiful.

I gasped, my hands instinctively clutching my swollen belly. It had been a day filled with intermittent twinges, but this was different and sharper, and it frightened me."Ahhhhhh!" a loud, painful scream left my throat. The kicks became a relentless rhythm, punctuated by contractions that wrapped around me like vipers of pain.

Every day brought us closer to the moment we had been eagerly awaiting.Since the traumatic incident, I have become quite the homebody, rarely venturing outside except for my regular checkups. I clung to Vincenzo's side, feeling safest in his presence, and he never left my side for a moment.Most of my days were spent in a gentle cycle of sleep and study. The fatigue that accompanied this stage of pregnancy often left me too tired to focus on our startup project, much less anything else.

    Vincenzo's POVI was with Roseline, selecting a dress, when I got an important call. As much as I didn't want to leave her alone, I had to attend the call as well. Asking her to stay at her place, I went to attend the call but to my surprise, the loss of network didn't let me hear anything. I had to walk ahead and suddenly I was pushed inside a room. I wasn't expecting it so I fell inside and before I could react, I was locked inside. "Open the door." I banged but no one came. Locked inside the dimly lit room, anxiety gripped my chest as I desperately tried to break free. The sound of my fist pounding against the solid door echoed through the space, but there was no response from the other side. I couldn't even see the face of the man who pushed me inside. But I am sure about one thing: everything is planned. I couldn't shake the feeling that something sinister was afoot, and my mind raced with thoughts of Roseline alone and vulnerable.

    Fear and confusion swirled within me as Kevin drove the car, leaving me paralyzed with disbelief. The Kevin I had known, the one who had shared laughter and joy with me, now seemed like a completely different person—a dark and dangerous one.I struggled a bit more but I sat back when I knew that there was no way out of this. I was already bone tired and I thought twice about keeping my energy reserved to fight with him once I was out of this car. I still couldn't believe that he was the same Kevin with whom I had shared so many laughs and giggles. I never knew that a devil was lurking behind that helping face. Vincenzo was already aware of his reality and this was the reason he was always asking me to keep my distance from him but I was so foolish that I never listened to him. I kept on looking out, trying to memorize the way so that I could run back when I got a chance to escape him. After what felt like an hour, he finally applied the brake.

    Roseline's POV"You really don't have a good collection," Vincenzo remarked, his voice tinged with frustration.I was getting tired, to be honest. We had been at the bridal boutique for three hours, and while I was falling in love with every wedding gown they had, Vincenzo seemed unimpressed with any of them.He kept suggesting that I try on various dresses, but my energy was waning, and I didn't want to spoil the excitement of him seeing me in my wedding gown for the first time on our actual wedding day. So, I politely declined."Don't we have other designs?" he inquired, turning to the boutique attendant."Sir, if you're not satisfied with our current selection, you can choose from a virtual catalog, and we'll tailor it to your preferences," she suggested."That's a great idea!" Vincenzo's eyes lit up with excitement. "Why didn't you mention that earlier? I want something that can match the beauty of my wife."The boutique attendant glanced at me, and I couldn't help but feel like a
