Roseline's POV

"Yeah, I will be there in half an hour," Vincenzo said over the call.

He was leaving for his office, which meant I'd be alone at home again. It had been days since I last stepped out of the house. Today, Liam and Emma were at an orphanage, and I desperately wanted to visit them but I was not sure if Vincenzo would allow me or not.

"Do you want something?" he asked, noticing my hesitation.

"Yes," I nodded quickly, seizing the opportunity.

"What?" He tilted his head as he adjusted his tie.

"Could you please drop me off at the orphanage?"

He blinked at me, seemingly pondering it. A minute-long silence hung between us, making me fear that he would say no.

"Okay," he finally said with a subtle nod.

Yayy!

I squealed and he took out his phone from his pocket to call someone.

"Cancel the meeting; I am not coming today."

What?

"But why?" I asked as he hung up.

    Vincenzo's POV From the day we signed the contract, I knew about her birthday. I never thought of celebrating it but in the last few days, she has come so close to me that I wanted to give her all the happiness that she deserves. I knew that her happiness lay in the smiles of the orphanage, and nothing could make her happier than distributing gifts to the kids and celebrating her day with them. I was just pretending to be busy and was about to drop her off at the orphanage but she insisted on joining me and I could never say no to her puppy face. I thought that Sister Mary would not reveal everything to her but she did. I didn't want to take the credit. It was the first time that I did something like that for someone and the happiness on her face was worth everything. I was ready to do it daily if it was going to make her so happy. I was enjoying her dancing moves when the kids forced me to dance with them as well. Earlier, I was scared that they would not accept me and t

    Vincenzo's POV My eyes closed on their own as I frantically prayed for her safety. I had her back in my life, smiling and happy. In my mind's eye, I envisioned her returning to me, radiant and joyful, bringing light back into my life. When I opened my eyes, the doctors were still tirelessly working on her, and her frail form lay almost lifeless on the operating table. Only the rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor provided any reassurance that she was still with us. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the heart monitor's alarming rhythm began to stabilize. The room let out a collective sigh of relief as her vital signs improved. The surgeons continued their work and I stepped aside. I can't bear the sight anymore. "Everything would be alright, child," Sister Mary said as she approached me. I could only manage a nod; my emotions were too raw for words. Liam appeared to be keeping Emma updated on the situation, while Emma, it seemed, had chosen to stay at the orphan

    Vincenzo's POV It had been nearly a week since I brought Roseline back home. She spent most of her time sleeping, a side effect of the medications, but her body showed promising signs of improvement, which eased the weight of worry on my shoulders. Despite having hired two nurses to care for her, I remained vigilant, ensuring she took her medicines and meals on time. It was a responsibility I gladly undertook, a small way to contribute to her recovery. Grandpa's happiness at the news of her pregnancy was beyond limits. He couldn't contain his excitement and had called the doctor without my knowledge, who then divulged everything. While his joy was heartwarming, Roseline's earlier words still echoed in my mind, and I couldn't help but contemplate the uncertain future of our child. Turning my head, I glanced at her sleeping form beside me. A strand of her hair had fallen across her face, obscuring my view of her serene features. She had become the first sight of my mornings, the rad

I found it sweet that they got ready to come here at once. I was waiting for them when the boy, whom I identified as Jasper, came. I handed him the bouquet and ruffled his hair, at which he smiled. There was something about his smile that strangely reminded me of my Rose. I then extended my hand to shake his father's, but my body froze in place when I laid eyes on the boy's mother. It couldn't be possible. The shock coursed through me as I stared at her, unable to believe my eyes. ~~~~~ Roseline's POV The past week had passed by in a blur for me. I spent most of my time sleeping, so I wasn't entirely aware of what was happening around me. However, certain memories stood out vividly, like visits from Emma, Liam, and Sister Mary.

I noticed that not a single tear came from my own eyes, but my mother cried uncontrollably, while my father remained in a state of shock, struggling to accept the reality of what I'd endured."But despite everything, I couldn't forget," I continued, my voice shaky. "One day, I overheard the man who used to administer the electric shocks talking on the phone. He received an order to kill me."I lowered my gaze, unable to meet their eyes."I don't know what changed in that man at that moment, but instead of carrying out the order to kill me, he arranged for me to be admitted to an orphanage, changing my name and my birth year." I revealed the part of the story that I knew. "Maybe

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

    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.

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.

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!"
