ROSE

“What—what are you talking about?” I stuttered, completely confused, as I tried hard to comprehend what he was saying.

“I made a deal with grandfather,” he said, and my brow creased in confusion.

“In return for your freedom, we will be allowed to leave here,” he continued, and it felt like he lacked emotions at that point, as I stared at him. He looked completely different from the Valerio I knew—the one with that soft look that always comforted me. I was trying to find it.

“Are you making any sense right now?” I asked with an incredulous chuckle.

“No…” He shook his head. “No, I’m not,” he admitted, and I watched him in utter disbelief.

“I’m not being rational because I can only think about you at this moment, Rose,” he confessed as I started to shake my head.

“Don’t be ridiculous,” I said, trying not to break into tears again.

“Inasmuch as I can’t question when you haven’t been here to see for the past few weeks, this sudden proposition seems totally absurd,” I stated, desperate

    ROSEAs he rubbed my nipples, he moved his mouth to mine, kissing me with great finesse. God, he was such a good kisser. I wanted to resist, but I found myself doing the complete opposite. When he finally broke the kiss, we were both panting heavily, and he stared down at me, his eyes filled with deep passion.“You still want me the same way I do, Rose. Let’s not fight this, ugh?” he murmured, moving his mouth to my lips and teasingly rubbing it.“But—”“No buts,” he smoothly shushed me, and I found myself listening. He kissed me. “We aren’t doing anything wrong. You are my mate,” he cajoled.“And Valentino,” I replied with dreamy eyes, and I could swear I saw a hint of pain in his eyes at that statement.“We shouldn’t do this to him,” I said, almost in a pleading tone, as if the web he had wrapped me in was the only thing that could free me. It was useless trying to fight it.“Valentino is in the hospital because of us,” he held my face with his two hands, raising it up to look at hi

    ROSE“Are you okay?” Valerio’s voice cut into my thought as I stared out of the window, as the sleek Bentley I was led into few minutes ago after coming out of prison as it drove along the street of Italy. And it seemed like a doom day to me as the clock ticked.I knew he was waiting for an answer but I didn’t reply.“Ignoring me like this won’t help any of us. You should try to understand me, Rose.” He said again and I heard him sigh as if this was all forced on him.“Rose…”He started again but it seemed the more he talked, the more irritated I felt.But then when he placed his hand on my arm….the sizzling feeling I felt for that brief moment as the thought of how I enjoyed the kissing back in that room came to me.“Talk to me….please.” He said softly as within me became so hot that I felt I was in a boiling water.I was caught in between my anger for him and wild desire.“Would you tell the driver to stop if I ask you to?” I turned to look at him as he removed his hand from mine slo

    VALERIO "Do you expect me to repeat myself?" I snapped, completely irritated. I already regretted allowing Rose here and felt increasingly impatient with these men causing a delay.For some unknown reason, I felt compelled to make this work for Rose, especially with the way she fidgeted beside me. It was as if another voice inside me advised playing the good guy."Sir, we have strict instructions from the chairman not to allow anyone into this room," the one on the right said with an unsure look, hinting at his fear. Idiot, I thought."I am his brother. Do I need to write it on my face for you to see?" I retorted dangerously."Maybe we should go back, Valerio. The chairman was very specific..." she began to say."Stay," I cut her off sternly. "I won’t have some annoying lackey dictate when I can see my own brother. Besides, this isn’t just about you meeting him anymore. I want to see him myself." I turned back to them. "Move," I commanded curtly."We are sorry, young master," they bo

    VALERIO "What did you just say?" My grandfather growled at me.I felt Rose's gaze on me, though I wasn't looking at her. I could sense her shock."Yeah," I said firmly, meeting his eyes. "She's carrying your great-grandchild."His face turned from red to outraged. "How is that possible?" he roared angrily, but I stood my ground."Valerio," murmured Rose beside me, sounding like a child asked to stay quiet during an important conversation."There's no need to hide it, Rose," I said, giving her a knowing look, which left her confused."But I'm not--""How is she pregnant by Valentino?" I turned to my raging grandfather. I was committed to playing this role perfectly until the end. It was Plan B and our last resort, so it had to work."Oh... how did she get pregnant by Valentino?" I crossed my arms, pretending to contemplate deeply. "Here's how the process goes... they both..." I glanced briefly at Rose and the unconscious Valentino, then back to my grandfather. "Get intimate, you know,

    VALERIO She sighed and big her lips. “Why do I have a bad feeling about this.” She turned by back at me to look at Valentino she bit her fingers in that way she does whenever she was nervous. “We shouldn’t have lied.” She turned to look at me again.“I didn’t mean to lie.” I said as she watched me in total astonishment.“But the way you spewed those lies effortlessly made even me to believe you.” She said with a wide eye.I watched her in silence for a while the spike up. “Fine.” I said. “It was pre-planned.” “Pre-planned? How? Do you intend to put some baby in my womb before the test? Just what were you thinking when you thought of pregnancy?” “I thought of you being in prison again, and I couldn’t take in that image, Rose.” I said as I watched her face softened in worry.“I can’t fight my grandfather with the kind of power he has. He isn’t joking around when he planned to keep you locked in for the rest of your life, Rose.” I said with a strong gaze as if to emphasize how much se

    ROSEI paced the hallway in front of the laboratory where the test was being carried out. This was driving crazy. This whole Valerio’s idea which seemed unreasonable.“You still have the chance to tell me the truth.” I stopped on my track and turned to see the chairman alone with me on the hallway, staring at me with that angry look that showed the whole situation was weighing on him.I dropped my hands whose fingers were tucked in my mouth by my side and watched him. “What truth?” I feigned confidence. Valerio said to trust him. Damn….I should try but it was fucking hard.He exhaled and let out a deep groan while throwing his face to the other side.“Fine. There is no use arguing with you.” He raised his hand and pointed at me as I swallowed, completely intimidated but trying not to let it show. “You charmed my grandsons and get them to turn against me. Something, I can’t even do.” He letbouta soft scoff. “Valerio now dances to your tune. And now, you are going to use pregnancy to

    ROSE“So I have come to a conclusion that Rose will be staying with me, at the main house till further notice.” He dropped as my mouth dropped in shock.“What?!”“That won’t be possible.” Valerio said smoothly as if he had the final say.“Isn’t that too much?” Vicente chinned in.“It’s not.” The chairman maintained his stance without wavering. “That is my responsibility.” He continued. “Till Valentino wakes up, she should be under my care. I can’t obviously let her live with you both in the same house. Who knows what other atrocities you all would engage in.”“We are not kids, Grandfather. And don’t talk to Rose like that.” Vicente started to attack him again.Seemed things has been quite tight between them during this period. With the way Vicente has been attacking him.“You don’t get to have a say on this, Vicente.” The chairman said sternly but Vicente wasn’t having it with him.“You have be hostile towards her all this well and all of sudden, you want her to start living with you?

    ROSE“Marco….”I called the Marco who was driving me in the limousine back to the house as he looked by his side to regard me and listen to what I have to say.“Yes, Miss.” He replied and my mind suddenly went blank on what to say. It is just ten minutes since Marco came to the hospital saying the Chairman has asked him to bring me home. The same home he was hellbent of throwing me out.And to make this thing more crazy, I was the only allowed to enter the car. His grandsons were let to use any of mode of transport home.Oh well, that wasn’t the point. The point is still that I am now his sole focus and I can’t even do anything about it.“Miss?” Marco called again, his eyes still on the road, as I snapped out of my thoughts.“Ah….”I entwined my fingers nervously on my leg. “You see…the whole chairman’s being overprotective thing and….”“If for your own good, Miss Arturo. I promise.” He said, his eyes still on the road.“Ah…I see. That’s your view on this.” I started to nod. “And there’

    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

    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?”

    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

    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.
