At Knight Empire
4:45 p.m.
"I missed your smile"Rosaline closed her eyes in anger and balled her fists as soon as she heard a deep raspy voice behind her. She turned around only to take a step back in fear.Xavier was standing in front of her while staring her intensely. Rosaline unconsciously moved back noticing their proximity. His lips were touching her forehead. Unknowingly she felt tingles in her stomach. She turned her head to the left and starting leaving.
But before she could take one step ahead, Xavier placed his long arms on both sides of her, his fingers gripping the banister. He caged her between his muscular arms while Rosaline looked at him in exasperation.
"Let me go Mr. Knight"
She spoke while gritting her teeth so hard that one could hear the sound of her teeth chattering. She threw a glare at him while Xavier raised his eyebrows at her irritated face."Why so angry M
"Thank God" Jennifer sighed in relief while Antonio smirked at Emily's frozen figure. There stood the Mafia in front of them while carrying a sleeping Rosaline in his arms. Her petite figure was draped in his black coat properly and her head was lying on his chest. Xavier was descending the stairs slowly and carefully making sure not to wake up his sleeping beauty. Emily's eyes widened as she looked at Xavier in astonishment. The terrace was about 10 floors above the floor where they stood right now but he didn't look exhausted at all. His face was cold and his eyes were blank. He was carrying Rosaline as if she weighs nothing. As soon as Xavier approached them, Jennifer rushed to him. "Oh my God, what happened to her? Is she alright?" She looked at Rosaline with teary-eyes and caressed her hair. "Xavier, what happened-" Jennifer halted as she noticed his dark eyes. She immediately shut
Knight Heritage, Italy8:00 a.m.Rosaline was in the balcony staring at the smears of white clouds that were scattered in the blue sky. The chirping of birds ringing in her ears, the cool breeze making goosebumps all over her body, her hair bouncing happily in the air but still this serenity was not able to soothe the pain in her heart. Her eyes were sad and filled with pain. She still couldn't forget how much she got scared when Xavier tried to throw her off the building yesterday. She had never thought that he will ever do that to her. But nothing happened to her right. She wasn't physically hurt but emotionally? Yes. Was she in pain? Yes. Was she upset? Yes. But didn't she expect that from him? The answer was No. Xavier had a
"Your eyes are intoxicating, your lips taste divineI can't see you with others, I can't let them see your beautiful smileI don't need your approval babe, I won't even wait for your sign'Cause the day I first saw you, You already became mine"(Flashback continued)Two days laterStanton High School, America8:10 a.m.Rosaline's P.O.V."Buttercup"While I was getting my books from the locker for the class when all of a sudden I heard my name being called from behind. I turned back only to see my three friends waving at me.NickMarkAnd my best friend RebeccaI smiled and ran to them. "Hi guys" We all then did a big group hug which was no less than a bear hug as Nick and Mark were literally squeezing the life out of me.
Stanton High school, America 12:00 p.m. Rosaline's P.O.V "SO, YOU'RE SAYING THAT THE XAVIER KNIGHT FOR WHOM ALL THE GIRLS OF THE CAMPUS ARE CRAZY ABOUT CONFESSED TO YOU!!!" Rebecca shouted on top of her lungs glaring me furiously. I looked down. "I-I-" I couldn't find words. After that unexpected confession by my Prince Charming, I ran away from there. 'Yes, I ran away' I told everything to my friends as I was shell shocked. But their reaction was totally unexpected as they all were... 'Flaring with anger' We all are currently in the school backyard. No, I was not as I was dragged here by Rebecca who was going all berserk. It was the lunchtime. We all were in the cafeteria when I told them about my love confession but as soon as
"Your bright smile left me in a daze,Now you just need to enter my mazeYou don't have to worry my sunshine,With me you'll be absolutely fineBe my lifeline now, save me from this dark floodEither come to me yourself Babe,'Cause for you I won't mind shedding BLOOD"(Flashback continued)Knight Training Centre, America"So you're gonna marry that kid? Have you lost your mind Xavier?" Sebastian spoke calmly but his tone was laced with anger. Xavier ignored his words and kept doing push-ups. Xavier along with Black Swan members Noah, Sebastian and Elijah were doing workout. The owner of the centre was none other thanAndrew Knight but as to not get suspicious, he named it after him not the gang. "I don't understand what's so wrong in
Stanton Highschool, America 8:10 a.m.A new day with new dreams. Stanton Highschool was filled with the laughter and chatter of students. The shuffling of shoes and murmurs were echoing in every corridor. After taking out her notebooks, Rosaline closed her locker and locked it. She turned around and started walking towards her class."Puppy"A playful voice made her halt in her steps. She closed her eyes and clutched the books tightly to her chest. Soon she heard sound of boots hitting the floor which made her shiver in fear. "Open your eyes puppy, you don't how much intoxicating they are" Rosaline shuddered in fear and slowly opened her eyes only to see a brunette with dirty brown hair and forest green eyes staring her like a predator. He was none other than Michael FinnSchool's badboy andRosaline's bully turnedlover A
Xavier's P.O.V. "ROSALINE" Rosebud flinched as a thunderous growl echoed behind her. I clenched my jaw tightly as I saw her friends glaring at both of us. Roseturned around only to see them shooting daggers at her. "WHAT THE HELL ROSIE! WE TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM HIM, DIDN'T WE?" Rebecca screamed while glaring at her. My eyes turned red as I saw my Rose looking down guiltily. "BUTTERCUP! COME HERE! THIS INSTANT!!" Mark hollered at her. I shot him a death glare but frowned as I saw Rose looking down, staringat our intertwined fingers. She placed her trembling hands on my hand to get out of my grip but I tightened my hold. "DON'T" I gritted. She looked at me in fear hearing my fierce growl. I shook my head in 'no' when that idiot Nick yelled. "ROSALINE!! WE SAID COME HERE!!" Rose flinched. I know my Princess was in a dilemma as to what to choose
"You forced me to hate you To give you pain, to wreck you But still there's one thing dear which always makes my weak heart fear That in this bloody war of love I can't afford to lose you" At Knight Heritage, Italy9:10 a.m."But Xavier, we are running out of arms. The deal with the Russians has to be done today itself. We can't afford to defer it further." Sebastian spoke in a serious tone but Xavier was giving him a wide berth. His face held a staid expression and he looked lost in his own world. "But what about the leader of Red Eagle? Wasn't he going to visit us today? If we all will be busy in the meeting then who is going to attend him?" Noah said it to Elijah who was engrossed in his laptop. "Let's spilt up. You, Seb and Eli attend the meeting wh
Rosaline was currently in her room along with Emily and Jennifer while Xavier was at the church. They planned a simple ceremony this time and had only invited close friends and relatives. Emily and Jennifer were busy chatting with each other but Rosaline’s eyes were stuck on the entrance eagerly waiting for someone special. "You look pretty Rosa.", Antonio complimented her. He was looking too hot in his maroon Louis Philippe tuxedo with a black bowtie. Rosaline blushed and thanked him. "I agree with you Antonio but I am more interested in the girl who is standing beside our bride." Rosaline snapped her head towards the owner of that raspy voice only to see Noah staring intensely at Jennifer, basically checking her out while biting his lower lip. He was wearing a navy-blue Armani suit and had grown a stubble which gave him a rugged look. She then shifted her eyes towards Jennifer who was looking down with a flustered face. Noah smirked and stood next to her. T
Warning:18+ A year later Knight Heritage, Italy Rosaline's P.O.V. "Jennie, is today my wedding or have I come to attend yours?" I said and looked at Jennifer who was busy smacking her lips while looking in the mirror. Finally, the day for which we all have been waiting for one year arrived. Xavier was true to his words. He really used all his power and authority to get Vincent out of the bars. He hired best lawyers to fight for his case. My parents also forgave Vincent and requested the court to withdrew the charges against him but CIA demanded one year prison for Vincent as they still haven't forgiven him for robbing CIA's property. After all the efforts, the court reduced his punishment from three years to one. Vincent was released from jail yesterday. Xavier had already made all the arrangements for our wedding beforehand as he didn't wan
"He isn't here rather he was sent here by his kind-hearted Rosebud.", Vincent chuckled and winked at Xavier who was looking at him with killer eyes. Xavier marched towards his cell and smashed his hands on the iron rods hard making a loud sound. "Don't you dare speak her name.", he grinded his teeth in rage. Wills was looking at both of them with shocked eyes. Vincent scoffed. He then stood up and dusted his pants. "Are you here to fight?", he spoke in a mocking tone and crossed his arms. Xavier immediately turned stiff. He realized that he was again losing his temper. Xavier calmed down and lowered his gaze down when he realized the reason for which he had come. Indeed, it was not to fight with him rather than to apologise to him.Xavier then looked at Wills through his shoulders who stood frozen on his spot. "Leave." Wills didn't take a second and instantly scurried away as he didn't want to face the psycho's wrath. Xavier then took a deep breath
Two weeks later Rosaline's P.O.V. "What will happen now?" I whispered while staring at the city lights through the window. After that deadly fight, Xavier took me to Noah's mansion as we couldn't leave for Italy because of my injury. My surmise proved right as I had got a nasty, purple bruise on my lower rib because of that gunshot and doctors had strictly told me to stay in bed. I was completely healed by now and was currently dawdling the hours away in my room while Xavier and the others were in the living room. Everyone was too elated as the war had finally ended. CIA had withdrawn the case and vindicated Xavier and his gang as they have helped them in catching the thief who was robbing off their wealth. Vincent was sentenced to a three-year prison as he was conducted guilty for attempt to murder, kidnapping and stealing government's property illegally. And there was a possibility that his punishment can even increase beca
A loud gunshot echoed as Vincent shot Rosaline right on her stomach. A shuddering breath escaped her lips and in an instant her hand flew to her stomach as she felt an excruciating pain. Her steps staggered and she immediately fell down on the floor with a thud. Leon's jaw dropped to the ground. He had never thought that Vincent will really kill Rosaline. Caleb and Mr. Taylor too looked at Vincent in shock who was staring Rosaline with cold eyes. He was still holding the gun but his eyes were devoid of any emotion. They were hollow and his expressions were stone hard. His stance was rigid. He looked as if he didn't have an ounce of guilt for killing the girl for whom he had been crazy about all these years. Suddenly Leon's ears perked up hearing the sound of loud gunshots and explosions, one after the other. Vincent looked at Leon in confusion. A deep frown etched on his face when he heard the sound of choppers. He immediately cocked his gun and rushed outside the building b
~Flashback "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING? I WILL NEVER GIVE PERMISSION TO SUCH A PREPOSTEROUS IDEA OF YOURS, NOAH MILLER!!" Xavier yelled on top of his lungs while shooting daggers at Noah who was watching him blankly, unfazed by his outburst. "Listen, everything has a limit. And this mess has to be cleared one day then why not today? You will keep running from CIA and hiding Rosaline from the world for the rest of your life? I am just trying to be reasonable. We need to stop this now.", he tried to make him understand. Xavier shot him a glare. He marched towards him like a predator and grabbed his collar. "Are you even in your fucking mind? You are trying to risk her life. I will handle it in my own way. There- "HOW? BY MURDERING EVERYONE AS YOU USED TO DO IN THE PAST?" Noah shouted as he yanked away his hands harshly and growled. Xavier huffed in frustration.
Knight Heritage, Italy "Try to understand Xavier my parents need me." Rosaline cried while holding Xavier's hands who was glaring her with blood-red eyes. After Xavier and his gang returned to Knight Heritage, the first thing Rosaline asked Xavier was about her parents but what Elijah told her snatched the ground beneath her feet. "Rosaline, your parents are in danger. Vincent had abducted them." Since then, Rosaline was dying every second in apprehension and anticipation. Her mind had turned blank and she was continuously nagging Xavier to send her back to her parents like a child. Xavier abruptly pulled her in his arms and cupped her face in his hands. "And what about me? Why are you being so stubborn? Don't forget you promise me that you won't disobey me any-" Rosaline jerked his hands harshly and stood up. "WHAT THE
At CIA Headquarters, America "YOU'VE BEEN FEEDING ME THIS FOR DAYS!! HOW LONG ARE YOU GONNA TAKE?? THAT BASTARD IS STILL BREATHING AND MY WIFE IS STILL WITH HIM!! I WANT HER BACK AT ANY COSTS!! DO YOUR SHARPSHOOTERS NEED A FUCKING WHOLE YEAR TO KILL A SINGLE PERSON?" Vincent yelled on top of his lungs while glaring Leon with burning eyes. Leon along with his men was standing with his head hung low in shame and kept bearing his harsh words. The man who had tried to kill Elijah that day was a sharpshooter who was sent by none other than CIA. But the truth is that Leon had send him to kill Xavier but unfortunately Elijah was shot, indirectly saving the life of his friend. Since then CIA had sent hundreds of assassins and marksmen to hunt Xavier and his gang but they all returned with empty hands. Noah was the one who was failing all their attempts. Working in CIA for years, he knew Vincent very well. H
Xavier's P.O.V. I ran inside the hospital with tottering steps ignoring the fearful expressions of people who immediately moved aside to clear my way. After hearing the bitter news, I immediately took Rose to Knight Heritage as my first priority was to keep her safe. All these years of hard work and hardships proved fruitful to me and my gang as the Scorpions were successful in establishing their identity as the most fearsome and dangerous gang of the world with whom no one dares to trifle with. I left no stone unturned to make my empire as the most powerful gang of the underworld. But all our efforts went in vain as today not only someone attacked us but also try to kill one of the members of my septet. That was seriously a low blow to my reputation but it is also something which shouldn't be ignored because if someone can target my best trained men then it won't take a second for him or her to attack my Rosebud. I was losing my marble
