"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Rosaline Knight"
Xavier rasped in his husky voice. Rosaline looked at him horrified but soon she scowled as his lips got curved into a smirk. She gritted her teeth in anger and glared at him."It's Mrs. Rosaline Valentino, Mr. Knight"
As soon as she said that Xavier's mocking facial expressions changed into a hard one. His gaze became dark. The air around them became chilly. Rosaline internally shivered as she got groped by his creepy aura.
"Are you sure about that?"
Xavier gritted. Rosaline flashed him a smirk making him boil.
"I've never been so sure about anything in my life before"
Xavier clenched his fists in anger while glaring at her with burning eyes. They both were giving each other deadly glares as if they would just kill each other with their raging orbs. Everyone in the room kept staring at the both of them confusingly when Henry dec
At ValentinoResidence10:00 a.m."He will again take me back, V" Rosaline whimpered in Vincent's embrace. Vincent sighed and patted her head gently. After giving the deadly warning, Xavier immediately left the sceneleaving Rosaline in dread. She knew that he for sure will come back and take her away with him. No matter how much she tries to act tough with Xavierbut she knew him very well. After all he was her husband and the guy whom she had loved with all her heart.The guy who was crazy for her...."Don't worry he won't be able to do anything. I won't let him take you away from me" Vincent gently cooed in her ears while she bawled her eyes out. "I-I am s-scared V" Rosaline tightened her grip around his muscular back making Vincent worried for the poor thing. Although he was trying his best to calm her down but deep down, he himself was boiling with anger.
"I thought you live in London?" Rosaline said as she looked at Xavier in shock. She had expected that Xavier will bring her to London since that was where he was living currently but she was surprised as he brought her to Italy and that too... Back to the same house which she had left several years ago....The house which had stashed the memories of one's cruelty and one's miseries.....The house whose walls still reverberates with her sobs and his roars....The house which always yearned to see the love of the two souls but it had only witness their hatred......But it is also substantial as it is the epitome of one's mad love and one's unfaithfulness....And it will be the place which will embark upon a new journey but with a happy end?Everything turned back tosquare one. Xavier smirked as he saw Rosaline's petrified face. All the haunted and dreadf
At Knight Heritage, Italy 8:30 a.m.Rosaline was having her breakfast with all others on the grand dining table. Only the sound of forks and knives hitting the plates could be heard as everyone savoured the delectable comestibles quietly. She sliced the meat while holding the knife in a tight grip while her eyes wandered around. She chewed it slowly and looked at Xavier but he didn't even look up at her not even once.Which definitely hurt her.He was giving her a very silent treatment which was not going down well with her. Rosaline wasn't used to this kind of Xavier. The Xavier with whom she was familiar with was indeed a crazy and obsessed psychopath but he was also a loving and extra caring husband. But now his aura seemed completely different. It had turned much colder and reticent. His eyes were glued on his plate as he ate his food silently. Rosaline kept staring at him as she was confused by his d
Rosaline's P.O.V.I was petrified as I stared at Xavier. I don't know what to say anymore. I winced as his grip on my chin tightened. No, not this time. I won’t show him my weak side and let him take control over me like always. This time I need to fight back. Moreover, the tables have turned now. I am here for a purpose so it be will be better if I stick to the plan rather than let him mess with everything. I jerked his hands off me and pushed him back. Although my strength was incomparable to him but still, I managed to get him off me. Wiping out the unwanted tears sticked on my face with the back of hand roughly, I took a deep breath and looked in his eyes."Yes you win every single game but let me remind you Mr. Mafia, I am not your innocent Rose anymore. I am no longer that weak and naive Rose but a strong and powerful Rosaline Valentino. An independent and renowned woman of America. I am not only the Vice-president of Valentino Es
Rosaline s P.O.V. I became shocked as soon as I saw his face. "HENRY!!!" My heart stopped as I looked at him in horror. His face was completely bruised up. He was looking nearly dead with a black eye, busted lips and long deepcut marks on his cheeks. They were bleeding heavily and his face was all bloody and damaged. Tears started streaming down my eyes as he was barely breathing and was looking like a corpse. I yanked my hands away from Noah and ran to him. "OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! HENRY! HENRY! CAN YOU HEAR ME? PLEASE SAY SOMETHING!! I yelled while shaking his body vigorously but he was still as death. I turned around and glared Xavier. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO WITH HIM?" I screamed in pure rage. Xavier kept staring me with a cold face. He then shifted his gaze to Noah. Noah nodded and grabbed my hand pulling me back. "NO, LEAVE!!" &nbs
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
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
