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."

I could feel tingles in the part where I shouldn't be feeling that way.Her hands moved back to unhook her bra and my hands reached out to stop her.

His lips continued their exploration, moving to her chin as he peppered a delicate path of kisses along her jawline.

    She looked back when he mentioned punishment. "Punishment?" Her voice betrayed her bewilderment. "For what?" She hastily cleared her throat, feeling an unanticipated lump forming. He slapped her in an abrupt, jarring motion, causing her to gasp in surprise. Then, without warning, he pulled her onto his lap, lifting her up slightly. "For talking to Kevin without my permission. On the very first day, I made it clear that you are not allowed to talk to any other male yet you not only talked with him but also went with him to the washroom, and that too alone." She was listening silently as he was making allegations: "How could you blindly trust a random man?" "I... Uhh... I am not sure what you are talking about," she replied, her voice carrying a mix of uncertainty and defense. She swallowed hard, struggling to find her voice amidst the accusations being hurled at her. His expression hardened, and determination was evident in his eyes.

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

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!"
