Mated To The Sabatini Brothers. Chapter 28. A Nasty Result
"I—" I tried to say something but couldn't seem to complete my words. How could I say no when he was looking at me like that? Like his request was at the expense of his life."I'll stay…" I sucked in a deep breath and resumed stroking his head as his smile widened."Thank you, Rose," he said as I nodded and looked up at his mother's picture. Memories of how she left him as a kid flooded my mind."I'll stay for a while and go to Vicente," I thought aloud and willed myself to believe everything would turn out well."Would you like to hear some of my memories with my mum?" He asked, pulling me out of my reverie."Uh? Sure?" I nodded, with a genuine smile. It was perfect; at least talking about the dead would block all the nasty thoughts she was having, while Valentino was laying on her lap looking like a devilishly handsome puppy.Valentino sat up, his legs crossed as he started talking about different memories with his mother, jumping from one scene to another, smiling like a ten-year-o
Mated To The Sabatini Brothers. Chapter 29. Who Won?
VALENTINOI followed Vicente’s gaze and landed on Rose, who stood there looking like a helpless little girl, desperately thinking about what to do.I scoffed at first, followed by a short laugh, and then a continuous, loud laugh that made the three people in the room stare at me.“Sure. Let’s have a good fight, brother,” I pretended to straighten my brother’s clothes as he watched me with a confused look. “Don’t get hurt, though,” I added with an angry look and turned away, leaving without another word.All the while on my way to my room, I couldn't imagine my fears were coming to pass. The day my brothers would want to fight with me for Sabatini Internationals, the one thing I’ve lived for, apart from Rose, my mate. I don't know if she knew or felt it, but the attraction between the two of us was undeniable.I drew in a deep breath as I made my way to the bathtub and dipped myself in, trying to shove the troubling thoughts away, but they stuck to me as if glued. She was the reason for
Mated To The Sabatini Brothers. Chapter 30. On Your Request
VALENTINO"I have been driving for a while now, young master. Do you now have a particular destination to go to?" The driver asked through the speaker on his sound system. I stared out of the window as if his words were foreign to me."Boss-""Did I ask you to talk?" I responded in a low, lazy manner that showed my frustration."I'm so sorry, boss," he quickly apologized as I sighed for the umpteenth time.My thoughts turned to Rose; I needed a distraction from my current situation."Take me home," I finally said."Okay, boss," he replied as I closed my eyes, trying to push away the pain in my heart.I couldn't help but think of Rose—her soft body on my sheets, her lips, and the desire she ignited in me.She had a significant effect on me, and it frustrated me.When I finally arrived home and entered the living room, I found Bella sipping wine and engrossed in a TV show."You're back?" She asked, turning to look at me."Mind your business," I replied curtly, trying to hide the fact th
Mated To The Sabatini Brothers. Chapter 31. Being Bad
VALENTINO"What? No. I mean, you can't just decide to do something out of the blue-""You don't even know why I am here," she cut me short all of a sudden, as if she was trying to convey an emotion. But it didn't matter to me at that point. I hadn't really thought that Rose would stay here forever, but I hadn't thought of her leaving either."You are not the problem," I said with a calm tone, even if that was the hardest thing to do. I was desperate, seeing the resolute look on her face.She scoffed and shook her head. "Then what is?" she asked, and then I realized I was kidding myself. My brother and I are up against each other because of her.As she turned to leave, I held her arm and drew her back. "I—" I paused and pressed my lips together, the words hard for me to form because it's like making the biggest decision ever."I will leave the company for him," I said as she stared at me with newfound shock, which later transferred to a chuckle."Don't be silly, Valentino.""I am serio
Mated To The Sabatini Brothers. Chapter 32. Sentiments
VALENTINO"What's Rose got to do with it?" I asked, raising an eyebrow."It's nothing," he cleared his throat and waved off the question."Really?" I pressed, but he seemed more focused on avoiding my gaze, which was even weirder."We were talking all of a sudden, and Rose's name suddenly popped up," I said again as he stood up."I have a meeting with some business associates. Don't let what happened at the court earlier repeat itself. Vicente is hurting as much as you," he said as I bit my lower lip. The old geezer had skillfully changed the subject, but what did he mean by Vicente was hurting?"Hurting? Then what would you call what I experienced in the states all this while?" I asked when he was halfway towards the door.He turned to look at me. "How about talking to him for once? You might just find out some things you can't imagine," he stated and finally left.I sighed and placed my hand on the desk, looking down, contemplating hard on what to do."Do you want to?""I don't," I

"He's gone," she said as I stared at her in shock, trying to process her words."What do you mean, gone where?" I asked as she handed me a paper.I took it and read through it."Hey, Rose. It seems I will never really find the love I yearn for, even if I have to beg. Maybe I'm in the next world or some other place. Vicente."I looked up from the piece of paper, studying Rose's distressed expression."I told you to treat him well," she said with a challenging look, and my mind flashed back to the board meeting and then to the conversation in the restroom."I didn't—""You couldn't just be selfish, huh? You act like the world only revolves around you, Valentino. Now look at what it's led to, making others feel like garbage!" She snapped angrily as I stared at her with a helpless expression.This is wrong. It wasn't my fault he left."Look, Rose. I don't know what anyone told you or anything, but I didn't do anything. Vicente left on his own accord," I said quickly."Ah…really?" She aske
Mated To The Sabatini Brothers. Chapter 34. Tamed
ROSEAs I stared at him, looking rebellious and insistent on what he wanted, I couldn't help but notice how worried he appeared. Was it for his brother? I couldn't tell."Why? You made him leave," I said with an accusing look. "Are you going to pretend you want him back?""Why do you keep judging me without hearing me out?" He asked in a frustrated tone, his angry brow furrowed. I couldn't believe how my heart fluttered at that moment. This man's effect on me knows no bounds."Okay," I said, staring at him with feigned concentration. "What do you have to say?""It wasn't my fault Vicente left," he said calmly."You've been on that for the past few minutes. Noted. Now, leave," I said impatiently and turned away, but he wasn't done."His mother," he hesitated as I turned to look at him. "Bella caused it.""How?" I asked."She hurt Vicente," he said with a weary look, as if he'd rather not talk about it but had no choice."You see, the reason Bella agreed to come here was because I promi
Mated To The Sabatini Brothers. Chapter 35. Surviving His Charm
ROSE"I'll pretend I didn't hear that," I muttered while looking ahead on the road, and he spared me a glance. I saw him through my peripheral vision, wanting to talk, but he held back and continued driving in silence.I didn't realize I had slept all the way to the resort until I was woken up to find out the car had stopped moving. As I opened my eyes slowly, I saw someone looking at me intently, lovingly. That someone was Valentino."What's with the creepy smile?" I stretched and shifted my gaze from his face."You look like a baby when you sleep, so innocent and sweet," he said with a sheepish grin.I clicked my tongue in frustration. "Who would think the almighty Valentino would behave so cutely?" I feigned a smile."You made me like this," he replied as I sighed."Where are we?" I asked as I looked around and realized we were somewhat close to the countryside."The resort," he replied, unhooking his seat belt."Since when did we get here?" I asked."A while, at least for an hour,

ROSE"What’s with the face?” Renata turned to the passenger side to look at me.“Marco said to come in now,” she said as I sighed, nervously tucking my fingernails into my mouth.“How will he react when he sees me?” I turned to look at her; she smiled. “I mean, I just left like that without a real goodbye, like a selfish….” The words hung in my mouth as she placed a hand on mine.“Don’t… this is for your happiness. These past few days have been hell for you. I won’t let you leave here without meeting him at least once,” she said. When I still seemed hesitant, she continued.“I heard he has been combing the whole world trying to find you. Imagine how he is going to feel,” she said with a reassuring smile, and I gave her a tight smile.I would fool myself if I said that served as any comfort. “Well… I guess I have to go now,” I said as Renata nodded.“Yeah… Go on, don’t keep your man waiting,” she teased, and I returned a tight smile.Now in front of Valentino’s office, the door suddenl
Mated To The Sabatini Brothers. Chapter 109. She Is Here
VALENTINO“What the hell is this?” I raised up the file the head of strategy department in the New York just brought in, as I stared at the blonde with a pissed expression.“Sir, it’s the….”“Fuck this.” I muttered under my breath as I stood up, the other man’s head slightly bowed in fear.For the past three days here in New York, I have been on the edge. Every single thing got me pissed. And this was bad, it got worse everyday as the project we are working on was being hindered due to lack of progress.“Leave now.” I cupped my face in my palm. “Until you find a better plan.” I raised up my head to look at him, so he could understand the gravity of the situation from my expression.“Alright sir.” His American accent came out calmly. They were used to it. Or maybe they forced themselves to just bear with my cranky attitude.I rested back on the leather chair following the sound of the door closing and closed my eyes, took in a deep breath and her image mirrored in my head.My eyelid fl

VICENTEFew months later….“Calling out of the blue to pick you up , eh? Do I look like your manager or driver?” Marco asked Vicente who occupied the back seat, while he drove, his eyes on the road.“Must you complain about everything, Marco? I just called this once and you can let it slip.” I replied, my eyes out in the window as I take in the afternoon view of Venice, it wasn’t like there was anything fascinating about it, I just wanted to be distracted.“Plus my Manager is on a break….”“A break you let him have. And now you’re being all grumpy towards me. I still think it’s unfair.” He looked at me through the rear mirror but I didn’t spare him a glance.“You don’t look good, Vicente .” He said again after a moment do silence.“It’s feels so empty.” I mumbled to myself as I reminisce on how the recent days felt like hell….all because of the absence of one person.“What?” Marco asked, completely confused.“I wonder if they feel it too.” I said again. “My brothers.” I looked throug

“Vicente.” I called slowly, the smile on my face fading away as I watched me intently. As we both stared at each in silence, he suddenly burst into a smile while I watched in confusion.“What’s with the look?” He asked with a chuckle, while I stared in confusion.“Ugh?” I asked, blinking.“I should be asking you that.” I licked my lips nervously, desperate to understand what was going through that head of his.“I pulled a little joke and you fell for it immediately? How cute.” He played with my cheeks as I let out a sigh and forced a slight chuckle….while throwing my face to the other side.The feeling of guilt overwhelming me again.Like hell I would believe that, it was a mere joke. I caught a sign of it. A sign of pain.I stood up abruptly as he followed me up too and stared at me with careful gaze.“I need to go.” I said, looking at him.“Ugh?” He raised his gaze in confusion, and for a minute I got lost in that curious wide eyes of his. As he watched me, it felt like he was sendi

ROSE“What were you trying to do?” I forced my gaze away from Valentino to Valerio who scoffed in disbelief.He stared at me in the disapproving glare that he as trying to moderate. But his emotions won’t let him.“I heard everything. The conversation between you and Vicente.” I said as he raised his brow in a knowing stare while I pressed my lips.“It doesn’t give any right to act out, Valerio.” I said again, everything coming out of my mouth with so much difficulty because the difficult part was yet to come. The reason I was here.“You can’t keep supporting him in this bloody time!” He seethed angrily as he watched me, his expression a mixture of anger and denial.From the corner of my eyes, I could see Valentino watching us. I bowed my head slightly as I played with my fingers, my whole body tensed.I couldn’t back down. I can’t go back on my word just because of the kind of emotion that was flowing through me at that point.“It doesn’t matter anymore.” I said and raised my head t

“What is it?” I watched him,a little scared of what to expect.I wasn’t sure why. But when it concerns Rose. It was good enough to get me nervous.He sighed heavily and shoved his hand through his hair. “I shouldn’t be telling you this but….”“Go on Vicente.” I chimed in smoothly as he watched me with a nervous expression.“It was a setup.” He said as I raised my brow. “What is?” I asked.“The whole thing.” He said again.“Ugh?” I prompted, now feeling uneasy at the way he was breaking the words, mounting my fears.“When I visited Valentino the other day, I….”He started to shake his head as if trying to remember.“I overheard him and the doctor talking. About his blood pressure.” He said but I still couldn’t understand where he was heading to.“Isn’t it normal for a doctor to discuss the patient’s condition with him?” I asked with a slight chuckle, as I tried to cover my fears with a feigned smile.“Yeah. I think he told him to disclose it to your guys intentionally to….”“To get Ros

VALERIO “Fuck!” I muttered under my breath as I turned to see my brother staring at me and Rose as if he couldn’t comprehend what was right in front of him.Vicente closed the door as quickly as he opened it and walked away.“He looks pissed.” I turned to Rose who had her hand stuck in her head as if thinking of what to do, but was obviously stuck.“I’ll go talk to him.” I said and licked my lips in exasperation and stood up, watched as she crouched up her legs and folded her arms around him, her gaze away from mine.“Hey.” I started to move close to her but she moves slightly away from me as if she was tasked to stay away.“Go to Vicente.” She looked up to me quickly.“He would get things wrong.” She said with a worried expression.I sighed and nodded then moved away from the bed. “Tell him what?” I asked, my voice starting to sound irritated as she raised up her head to look at me in disbelief.“Anything!” She retorted angrily. “What if he goes blabbering to Valentino about this?”
Mated To The Sabatini Brothers. Chapter 102. Deceptive Play
VALERIO I moved closer and deepened the kiss, as if scared that she might change her mind at the last minute. I didn’t need any more confirmation from her as she held my head to her.Closely, as if I might withdraw.As we deepened the kiss as the minute passes, flashes of her rejecting me after all of this ends starts to come to my mind but I blocked out those thoughts as I led her instinctively to the bed.As we kissed, I placed her hastily on the bed, our panting breath, the only thing that filled my head as the urgency of the situation seized me.“Valerio.” She pushed me back as I stared at her flushed face, and maybe a hint of guilt starting to show.“This is the last time.” The words came out of her mouth and I didn’t even know how to react to it.She was looking at my lips like a snack that she has always wanted and has now gotten the chance.“Last time?” I asked, my voice choked with emotion as she causally shifted her gaze to my eyes.“I chose Valentino.” She said as if even
Mated To The Sabatini Brothers. Chapter 102. Pity or Love
ROSE“Thank you, doctor.” I managed to say despite the huge lump of pain I was feeling in my chest at that point. But Valerio stood up abruptly and walked out of the room without saying a word as I shifted my gaze to gus retreating figure, watched as he banged the door following his exiting.“I’m sorry about that.” I turned to apologize to the doctor who just managed a tight smile. Obviously, that didn’t settle well with him. And Valerio obviously wasn’t feeling what he said. I stood up and walked away, dragging my feet down the hallway.“Follow him or him….”Arya asked through the mind linked in my head.I knew who she was referring to as him or him.I didn’t reply that, just made my way out of the hospital, and if I was mistaken, I saw Valerio’s car pass in front of me, speeding up without a care in the world.I clenched my fist and swallowed, as I tried not to stagger due to how weak I suddenly became.This is extremely tiresome. And what’s worse, I can’t leave everything and leave
