Dreamers, I need your support in the form of gems and reviews. It would help the story get more exposure. The book needs twenty reviews from different ID's for the ratings to show up and more gems to move up in the rank. I will give double-triple updates if I get proper support. Thank you :-)
I couldn't believe what I just heard. Kevin is Vincenzo's brother. But as far as I know, he is the single child of his parents, whom I haven't met yet. "Thanks," Vincenzo said rudely and he shoved his free hand into his pocket instead of shaking hands with his brother. Out of embarrassment, Kevin rubbed the back of his head and dropped his hand to his side. "Now, if you permit, can I have a few words with my wife in private?" He asked. Why is Vincenzo talking so rudely to his brother? "Sure," Kevin smiled, which I bet was not a genuine one. Giving me one last look, he left us alone. Vincenzo whirled me around when he was out of sight. "I told you to stay away from boys." His grip on my arm tightened as he clenched his jaw tightly in anger. "He is your brother," I protested. "But not yours," he seethed. "I just came here to wash my hands," I argued. "You could have waited for me or simply used the tissue paper; it was not a big deal. I came back in two minutes and found that
Roseline's POV"Here"He smiled and walked to me with the chit in his hand."Kevin?""Yes," he said, showing me his chit. "Today, it is destiny that wants us to meet," he chuckled"All the couples, kindly take their spots," the host announced before I could say anything."Shall we?" He asked for my hand.I looked back once again but didn't find Vincenzo. My heart started pounding in my chest. What if he has actually left me alone?"What happened?" Kevin askedI shook my head."I could tear the chit if you want. Dance only if you are comfortable," he whispered in a low tone so that no one could hear us.I opened my mouth to agree with what he said but before I could, Ms. Claire pushed us to the dance floor and suddenly we became the center of attention.I felt too many eyes on us and goosebumps rose all over my skin."The rules are simple: the couple that stopped, fell, or didn't change the moves with the changing songs would get eliminated," the host announced.Soon the music played a
Roseline's POV Soon, my feet found the ground. My heart was still thumping in my chest when I looked up and found Vincenzo standing in front of me. His hands held me by my shoulder, his eyes looking for any kind of pain and I could see concern in them. My eyes moved around and I found Ms. Claire on the ground. It seems as if Vincenzo pushed her away to save me. She was looking pissed off to another level and looking at me with deathly glares. If looks could kill, I would have been dead by now. The music was no longer playing. Suddenly, the environment, which was playful and happy, became stressful. I was just still feeling weak so Vincenzo helped me walk to the chair and made me sit on it. "I am sorry," I heard Kevin apologize. "Are you fine?" He asked me. "I am here to take care of her," Vincenzo spat angrily. "There is no need to get hyper, brother. I am accepting my mistake. I didn't know that she would go dizzy," he argued with Vincenzo but his voice was low. "Don't fight,
Vincenzo's POVIn one moment, she erupted into laughter, a sound that seemed almost maniacal. But then, without warning, she abruptly fell silent and her mouth began to move as if she were riding an imaginary scooter."Vroom, vroom," she was making weird sounds while her palms were fisted as if she were holding the handle of a scooter, her feet kicking on an invisible kick of the scooter.Is she okay?Has the drug taken over her brain?I don't even know her fully!Suddenly, she stopped moving, freezing in place. This sudden stillness surprised me even more, and I instinctively moved closer to her, my face just inches away. With a slow and deliberate motion, she opened her eyes, revealing a mischievous glimmer within them. And then, to my bewilderment, she burst into another fit of uncontrollable laughter, echoing through the car and taking me by surprise.What the heck is going on?I was still trying to comprehend what was wrong with her when she suddenly asked,"Have you ever seen a
Vincenzo's POVI sighed heavily as I felt all the energy leaving my body. I was feeling my blood pumping at a very high rate when she was close and now that she is nowhere around, it seems like she has taken all my energy with her.I peeped out of the window and found her jumping like a frog in the middle of the street without caring about her surroundings.If it weren't for the paparazzi on the other side of the street and the fact that people know she's my wife, I would have left her there. But I couldn't trust anyone else to not capture her strange behavior and make it public.This girl will surely ruin the reputation that I have made with so much hard work.With what she has just done with me, I didn't want to go behind her but I don't have much choice but to bring her back into the car, put the child lock on, and take her home.Sighing heavily, I stepped out of the car and ran behind her. She was jumping like a frog so she didn't go so far."I'm free!" she yelled with joy, whirli
Vincenzo's POV "Here," she said, resting her hand against her right bosom. At that moment, my breath hitched in my throat, a mix of surprise and trepidation flooding my senses. I am sure she is talking about her heart, which must be hurting but she has placed my hand in the wrong place because of the effect of the drug. My thoughts were already running wild and she made it even more difficult by pressing my palm against her right breast and closing her eyes. After a brief moment, her captivating honey-brown eyes fluttered open, revealing a pain I had never witnessed before. My throat tightened, a mixture of concern and helplessness gripping me tightly. "No, not here," she said softly, her voice carrying a hint of vulnerability. She guided my other hand to her left breast, where I could feel her heart racing beneath my touch. It thumped rapidly, echoing the intensity of her emotions. "Here, it hurts here," she emphasized, her gaze fixated on mine. I found myself short of words
Vincenzo's POV"Excuse me?"Clearly thinking I misheard her, she gestured for me to come closer and whispered, "Bring your ear closer, my dear human, so that I can grace you with my request."Rolling my eyes, I looked away. I don't take orders from others.Grabbing my legs, she stood up, and one of them ended up fisting my pants. Thankfully, it didn't slip down.What the heck is she doing?She stood on her tiptoes, brought my ear near her mouth, and screamed, "Carry me!" Making me deaf for a minute. I swear she was so loud that even in the dark, I saw birds flying away in panic.This woman is crazy!I stood there dumbfounded, contemplating whether my insurance would cover the cost of a new pair of eardrums. Meanwhile, she took matters into her own hands and attempted to scale me like a human tree.She finally managed to perch herself on my back, clinging to me like a koala bear on a eucalyptus tree.She is actually an elf who has wreaked havoc on my life. When I married her, I thought
Vincenzo's POV"They..." Roseline bit her nail nervously and looked at me with innocent eyes. I could sense the weight of her unspoken words and the pain she carried within her. For too long, I had listened to her cries in the middle of the night, yearning for her parents without fully understanding their fate. Today, I couldn't hold myself back any longer. I wanted to hear her story.I decided not to interfere in her life but right now I couldn't stop myself."They died" Her head fell to one side, the smile that was on her lips was no longer there, making me feel guilty and her eyes were now filled with tears. "They cried for help," her lips pouted, "but I couldn't help them."My heart ached for her as I realized the magnitude of her guilt and grief. I remained patient, giving her the space and time she needed to share her story. She sucked in a deep breath, gathering her thoughts, and then uttered a single word: "Rain.""Huh?"Confusion swept over me. I wondered if she had lost her
