Married by Contract, Destined by Fate 63. Tension & High Fever
Roseline's POV The sudden change in his demeanor sent a shiver down my spine, leaving me uncertain and fearful of what might come next. My mind raced, desperately searching for answers to the questions that flooded my thoughts. What had happened when he went there? Has he found his lost love? Will he liberate me? The air in the kitchen seemed to thicken with tension as silence enveloped us, each of us frozen in anticipation of Vincenzo's next move. His jaw clenched tightly and his palms curled into fists out of anger. Understanding the depth of the situation, Kevin left my hand immediately. I still remember the way he reacted when he found me with Kevin in the bathroom that day at the party when I went to wash my hands. He wasn't pleased by the idea of me going close to him. "Brother, there is nothing the way you are thinking." Kevin sounded a bit concerned because he knows really well the true nature of his brother. Vincenzo's eyes flicked to his brother, throwing fireballs a
Married by Contract, Destined by Fate 64. Pleasure in Pain
Roseline's POV Abruptly, he pulled me to himself and no matter how hard I tried to steady myself, I found myself stumbling over his body just the way he wanted. My head collided with his rock-hard chest and I hissed in pain but he didn't seem bothered by it. My ear pressed against his chest and I could clearly hear the loud thumping of his heart, which was covered under many layers but it was there, feeling things and doing more than just pumping blood. Attempting to regain my balance, I propped myself up on my elbow, only to have him grip my wrist more tightly and pull me closer to him, eliminating any remaining distance between our bodies that I was trying to create. "Uhh" A moan escaped my lips unintentionally when my soft body was crushed against his hard one once again and this time it hurt more than before. "Stay," he murmured, his voice thick and hoarse, burdened by the fever that consumed him. But still, in his vulnerable and weak state, he didn't forget to order me. My
Married by Contract, Destined by Fate 65. Don't leave me
Roseline's POV Placing the stuff that I brought for his care on the side table, I went to retrieve a clean cotton handkerchief, preparing it to be used as a cold compress. Dipping the cloth into the water, I gently spread it across his forehead. As the coolness of the cloth made contact with his fevered skin, his eyes flickered open. They were bloodshot, mirroring the reddened tip of his nose, and his lips, once vibrant, now appeared pale, chapped, and parted as he struggled to breathe through his congested nose. He was now inhaling through his open mouth as his airways were completely blocked. "I told you..." he began to mutter, his voice strained, and I knew he was going to stop me. "Shhh...." I shushed him before he could scold me. "Just keep your mouth shut for now." I placed my finger on his lips. He let out a sigh, as if finally giving in, and closed his eyes once more, throwing his head back on the pillow. I kept the cool cloth pressed gently against his forehead, providin
Married by Contract, Destined by Fate 66. Taking care of him
Roseline's POV In spite of all the humiliation, I still found myself ranting at him. "Why do you always keep pushing me away? I know the reality of our relationship and I am very well aware that we are going to change paths after 1 year. Until then, if you need it, you can at least share with me what's bothering you. Anyway, I am going to forget everything about you after this year ends. You need not worry about that," I said. He repeated my words, mocking my tone. "You need not worry about me. Sleep!" My frustration grew, fueling my response. "There are certain things over which you don't have power. Ordering me to sleep isn't going to magically transport me back to the deep slumber I was in before you started shouting." My voice crackled with annoyance. The silence hung heavy in the room, enveloping us in its tension and suddenly it was broken by the churning of his stomach. My eyes flicked down and his ears turned red out of embarrassment. And this reminded me that he di
Married by Contract, Destined by Fate 67. You are adorable
Roseline's POV Suddenly, the door burst open and I flinched at my place. Vincenzo seemed completely unfazed by the sudden intrusion. I followed his gaze and saw three doctors standing in the doorway, their expressions focused and determined. What's going around? Confusion clouded my thoughts as I tried to make sense of the situation. "I called them when you went to make soup," Vincenzo told me, reading my confusion, which was clearly visible on my face. "Ohk" And I thought that he was not worried about his health. But the current scene contradicted my assumptions. The doctors wasted no time; their movements were swift and efficient. One doctor approached Vincenzo, checking his blood pressure with professional air. Another reached for a thermometer, gently placing it against Vincenzo's forehead to take his temperature. Meanwhile, the third doctor prepared a needle to collect a blood sample. While it was true that Vincenzo had been running a high fever, the extent of their actio
Married by Contract, Destined by Fate 68. Checking him out
Roseline's POV I woke up and immediately stretched my body to its fullest extent, feeling the stiffness dissipate along with a wide yawn. As my eyes adjusted to the morning light, they fell upon the wall clock, and I was surprised to find that I had slept until 8 o'clock. Normally, I would have been up by 7, but considering the long night I had spent with him, it was understandable. He squeezed all my energy and I needed a long rest to get ready for the day. My gaze shifted to the right, instinctively searching for his presence as soon as his thought crossed my head but he was not there and at the same time, I could hear the running water sound coming from the bathroom, indicating that he was taking a bath. The world could turn upside down but he can never get late for the office. He is very punctual. Perhaps it was his unwavering dedication and commitment to his work that granted him the power and wealth he possessed. Sighing heavily, I sat up on the bed. My eyes were still hea
Married by Contract, Destined by Fate 69. Good reason to roll eyes
Roseline's POV Blinking rapidly, I swallowed hard, closing my mouth that had been left hanging agape for what felt like an eternity. I tried to take hold of myself, as I didn't want to show how intrigued I was with him and his body. "I... I..." His eyes were so dark and penetrating my soul so deeply that once again my head became blank and nothing came out of my mouth, no matter how hard I tried. He tilted his head slightly, asking me to go forward. I mentally slapped myself to behave this way and forced my thoughts to be coherent so that I could form a good excuse. "How could you roam this way?" I asked, trying my best not to look down again and distract my head from where it shouldn't be. "This is my room and I believe it is something that gives me the most privacy and I could do anything I want to do here. I could hide my body under multiple layers of clothes or stay in my birth suit. It is completely my choice," he said, his voice laced with a hint of nonchalant confidence.
Married by Contract, Destined by Fate 70. I am not a saint
Roseline's POV I could clearly see the hunger and his eyes as he kept on staring deep into my eyes. He was capable of devouring me with a single glance. Conflicting emotions washed over me—uncertainty, nervousness, and a flicker of curiosity intertwined with a powerful attraction. On one hand, I felt drawn to the intensity of his gaze, enticed by the possibility of delving into unexplored realms. But a cautious voice within me urged restraint, reminding me of the potential risks and outcomes that lay ahead. Before I could decide between right and wrong, I found him hovering above me. His presence engulfed the space around us, creating an electric charge that pulsed through the air. One of his palms pressed beside my head while he stroked my lower lip with the thumb of his other hand. "Roseline," he said slowly, as if he were tasting it against his tongue. I could feel his minty breath evoking my senses. It wasn't the first time that he took my name but for some weird reason, it
