~Next day
Knight Heritage, Italy
8:30 p.m.
"How can I wear such a dress?"
Rosaline mumbled while eyeing the gown which was sprawled all over the bed like a king. The diamonds and glitters that were embroidered on it were mocking her timidity.
After the fight with Xavier, Rosaline immediately left his room as she was in no mood of hearing any of his pathetic excuses. The next day she avoided him like a plague but surprisingly Xavier also didn't bother her. She hasn’t heard about him since morning and she thanked the Lord for it as she didn't even want too.
Rosaline was in a huge turmoil. She knew no matter how hard she tries to push her naivety away and pull up the bold move but she herself know that she would never be able to do so. The plunging neckline and long thigh slit were jeering at her and the more sh
Everyone was gathered in the living room; their eyes were stuck on the top of the stairs eagerly waiting for the star of the evening. Xavier was impatiently waiting for his Rosebud. Dressed up impeccably in a black Armani tuxedo with a sparkling diamond brooch tucked on his left breast pocket, he looked devilishly handsome. A silver chain dangling from his neck and a rose gold Patek Phillipe Nautilus 5712r watch embracing his left wrist gave him a royal appearance. His hair was perfectly gelled revealing his broad forehead and his five o' clock shadow made him look mature, hot and sexy that can make any woman go crazy. Although Xavier looked like a Greek God but still his aura oozed power, dominance and danger. Katherine was wearing a sexy purple Chanel gown with a deep neckline and a long thigh slit. She was purposely standing too close to Xavier as she was damn sure that he had definitely chosen her as his date for the night. But what she failed to notice that ther
Rosaline's P.O.V. Forty minutes later We all were settled around the dining table for the grand repast. The silver plates were decorated with scrumptious, mouth-watering meals and the expensive glasses were filled with exotic liquors. Everyone was engrossed in some important conversations related to their Mafia business and looked quite happy. Except me. My plate was filled with plenitude of food. I was badly famished earlier but now I had lost my appetite. Although I kept my posture composed but my mind was huddled with a lot of questions. The encounter with that green eyed apparition had thrown me into a puddle of unwanted and scary possibilities. But was it really a reality or an illusion? ~Flashback "How can you forget your master....Puppy?" I was shell shocked after hearing that disgusting endearment. I tried to shout for help but the
"So Mr. Knight, are you interested in our deal?", Mr. Ivanov asked Xavier who was slouched on the couch and was looking at the father-son duo with a grumpy face. Xavier was currently at the cocktail lounge along with Mr. Ivanov and his son Augustus who were discussing about their new project. "We both together will form a strong and powerful squad. Moreover, with Antonio's advanced weapons and your well-trained army, we will become invincible and will build the strongest and most powerful Mafia force in the world." Augustus chirped as he tried his best to flatter Xavier who was lost in his own thoughts. Hearing him Xavier's eyes sparked as something clicked his mind. Although he was angry at the little stunts of his Rosebud but he always kept his professional and personal life separate. He never let his emotions took a toll over his mind as being the most powerful Mafia in the world, he also holds some responsibilities towards his empire and members. He needs to be o
"I don't understand how Rosaline can just go on missing this way? We can't trace her anywhere", Sebastian huffed as he combed his hair with his fingers in frustration. The Scorpions were presently at the backside of the hotel. The party was still going on and Mr. Ivanov was busy in entertaining the guests. Sebastian and Elijah were trying their best to hack the CCTV of the hotel as they didn't want Mr. Ivanov to know about this. It was Noah's order. Already the situation was too critical and informing Mr. Ivanov would not only make things more complicated but also can endanger Rosaline's life. She was nowhere to be found and they still haven't tracked her down. If she was really in a grave danger then they need to watch their steps and handle things cleverly. Emily advised Noah to appoint a team who will be looking for Rosaline. Noah deployed his best men to carry out this search operation. He was in a separate room along with Jennifer and Emily to keep a
(Warning: Violence and Mature content ahead. 18+, Do watch at your own risk.) Rosaline's P.O.V. I kicked that beast hard on his shoulders making him land on the ground with a loud thud. "Argghh", a painful groan escaped his lips. Taking the advantage of the opportunity, I quickly jumped off the bed. I tried to walk forward and fortunately the chains were long enough. Picking up the glass of water kept on the table beside the bed I cautiously move forward. He wasn't Michael. I immediately recognized him when my eyes fell on his Auburn hair. Michael had dirty brown hair and green eyes. To confirm my suspicion, I tried my luck and asked him to look down which he did. Because the moment he looked down, his contacts fell from his eyes and landed on my dress. And that's how my doubts got confirmed when he looked at me with his dark black eyes. This man was his
Ten minutes before Xavier's P.O.V. I was beyond livid. My hands were itching to kill that bastard. How dare he even think to lay his filthy hands on my Rosebud. Antonio even made a fucking deal with that trickster without even checking his past history. How irresponsible of him! I will definitely deal that idiot later. When Antonio told me about Rosaline's disappearance, my heart forgot how to beat. I couldn't breathe. All I knew I failed. I failed again in protecting the only source of my happiness. While my whole team was engaged in searching Rosaline, I kept calm. I knew my behaviour was at odds with the seriousness of the situation. I could feel that by their weird glances and annoyed faces but it was necessary. I knew that bloody traitor was present in the room itself. Sophia had passed out so her being involved in Rosaline's kidnapping was totally out of the
"Hold on Rosa, Hold on!!" Jennifer sniffed, her blue eyes spilling lakes of tears as she wiped the blood from Rosaline's lips and face. Xavier and his team immediately left for home without informing Mr. Ivanov. He was confused and a bit sad because of their sudden departure but Elijah told him that they had some urgent work for which they have to leave the party. Although Augustus didn't buy his lie but kept his lips sealed after receiving a stern glare from his father. "Sebastian has gone to pick James from his clinic. He will be here soon.", Antonio told Xavier. Xavier nodded while trying to console Rosaline who was wriggling in his hold like a dying fish. Although Jennifer had bandaged her wounds still Rosaline was crying loudly like a child. Noah and Elijah were dealing with Ashton and Katherine who were now locked up in one of the Scorpions' warehouses. Xavier was befuddled. He wasn't able to understand the reason behi
Warning: Mature Content 18+ Xavier's P.O.V. I was numb. Not because of pain but because of regret that had literally broken me today. My ego, my reputation, my anger, my revenge everything got shattered like a pack of cards. Emily's words left me speechless. She was right, not only her but Rosaline, Jennifer, Antonio and Elijah, they all have always been right and I was the one who was wrong. The Xavier Knight who had always kept everyone at their feet, who never gave a fuck about anyone, the mighty and powerful Mafia had completely become vulnerable today. I looked at my love who was crying pathetically, her wisp of a figure trembling heavily with loud sobs. The girl who was my obsession, my madness was lying on the bed in a miserable condition. If I wouldn't had arrived on time, God knows what would that fucker had done to my Rosebud. The mighty Mafia King, Xavier Knight whom
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
