ROSALINE 25
ROSALINEShe was terrified. "Baby, can you please tell me how you know that man?" I asked her slowly. She slowly dropped her hand and sniffled. "They killed my mommy and daddy," she gulped and let out a cough."Yes!" Yeka exclaimed and ripped the strap off Blakely's arm before throwing it in the bin. Someone approached us and I relaxed when I realized it was Vlad. "Let's get you guys home," he said and I nodded before turning to Blakely who had rushed to my side."I'm going to take you home. don't worry, you're safe with me," I said to her sweetly and carried her up in my arms.∞It was hard to keep my emotions together as I bathed Blakely. She had nasty wounds and cuts on her skin and a lot of bruises all over her body. I had to wash her carefully so the soap wouldn't sting her.Her little cries as I treated her wounds made my heart clench. This little girl had suffered too much. "It's okay, sweetheart," I was still trying to calm her down as I walked down the stairs.I put her in o
ROSALINE 26
ROSALINEI spent the next day trying to make sure that Blakely felt safe in the house. It was hard. Especially the fact that she was so quiet and would sometimes burst into silent tears. She had a nightmare last night and it took a lot of time before Alexei and I could calm her down.I was glad he cooperated. There was no way in hell I was going to give her out to an orphanage. She wouldn't be able to understand what they were saying and they wouldn't even understand what she went through.Being a doctor, I've treated a few children that suffered in orphanage home. not all orphanages are a wonderful place to be and I was not going to risk Blakely's health."Do you want to eat anything?" she shook her head. I sighed, I knew she was hungry. We had just gotten back from the hospital. Igor followed me there so Blakely could get tested."Anya!" I called as I led her into the kitchen. "Welcome back, dear," the woman turned to face me and smiled at Blakely who held unto my leg in fear."She

ALEXEI"Thank you, Amir," I shook hands with the man and walked back to my car to drive back to the hotel. I needed a drink, a very strong one. "I'm so glad that is over, man," Vlad said with relief as he got in the back seat with me."Ready, boss?" my driver asked and I nodded."Anything from Yeka?" I asked him. I saw his face pale, "Everything is going fine. Do you have any idea why she's giving me an attitude?" I clearly knew what was going on."Did you try asking her?" I asked him. "She walked away immediately. The second time, she held a gun to my face and a knife to my neck and told me to stay at least six feet away from her," he said with a sad sigh.He deserved it though. "Think about what you could have possibly done wrong," I patted his shoulder and brought out my phone. I saw a text from my sister.'I don't understand why we have to go to school, Alexei. Come and take me away. Let us go to Disney land and see Cinderella, please. I don't like how dad is looking so gloomy!'I

ROSALINE"I wish you could see how happy I am. I no longer feel as if something is weighing my chest down anymore. I feel so happy, mom. I can't explain it properly," I said to my mother excitedly as if she could hear me.Christmas was tomorrow and Anya did well to spread the holiday cheer with her Christmas cap always sitting on her head everywhere she goes. It was actually adorable.We even had a large Christmas tree in the middle of the living room with beautiful decorations on it. It was all thanks to Alexei, Vlad and Igor. I loved Christmas so much and seeing the decorations around the house couldn't stop me from being so giddy all the time.Today, Alexei offered to take Blakely out so they could spend some time together. How could I say no?"I love you," I rubbed my mother's hand and walked out of the room. As I made my way to the kitchen, I felt a wave of nausea hit me. Without hesitation, I pulled out a barf bag from my purse and emptied my stomach."Oh, dear. Let me get you s
ROSALINE 29
ROSALINEToday was Christmas.Today was Alexei's birthday.I woke up early than usual. Blakely was still asleep so I took the opportunity to slip out of bed and went to take a shower. When I was done cleaning up, I put on a pair of leggings and a large blue shirt. I brushed my curls and let them rest out of their bun.With that, I walked out of my room and made my way downstairs to the kitchen. No one was around but I spotted Anya walking in from the back door.Perfect!"Good morning, Anya!" I waved at her. she gave me a beaming smile as she approached me. "Merry Christmas," she hugged me and I returned it. "Merry Christmas to you too," I said and we giggled. She was still wearing her Christmas hat."Let's make the ginger breads and proceed to making breakfast," she suggested and I nodded. "Alexei's cake?" I asked. "We shall do that in between. Let's not waste much time and let's be as quiet as possible," she said and I nodded.We began to dance around the kitchen, carrying things fro

ROSALINEI wasn't feeling like myself at all. Today was new year's eve and I was staring at the pretty dress on my bed with disdain. I wasn't in the mood to dress up to anywhere but I had to follow Alexei to his company's party.I wished he could just let me stay home but he insisted that I should be there with him. I wanted to use Blakely as my escape but Alina offered to look after her till we got back.I groaned and looked back at the window. I felt sick, very sick. I wanted to curl up on my bed and sleep the whole day away. I didn't like how I was feeling. I felt like my emotions were overflowing out of my cup.I looked at the clock to see I had only thirty minutes to get ready."Brilliant," I muttered as I quickly stood up and made my way to the bathroom to take a quick shower. When I was done, I slipped on a fresh pair of black lacey panties and a black bra. I then moisturized my skin before going to put on the dress laid out on the bed for me. It was a floor length black dress

ROSALINEShe stared at me like she wanted to kill me. Bitch, the feeling is mutual! "Polina, please excuse us," Alexei said. His voice was calm but I could tell he wasn't happy. She looked at him with surprise, "You can't be serious?""Did he stutter?" I interjected with a raised a brow and stood at akimbo. I could tell Alexei wasn't happy with my behavior but I couldn't care less. Madam Polina glared at me, "I wasn't talking to you." She began to speak in Russian but I waved her off, interrupting her, "Find someone else's man to hump."With that, she huffed and stumped her foot before walking away angrily. I rolled my eyes and turned to Alexei."What was that about?" I glared at him. He sighed, "She's the daughter of a friend. You're supposed to know the type of man I am."I scoffed and crossed my arms. "You go ballistic whenever a guy even looks in my direction, not to talk of approaching me. And now, I can't even tell her to back off? Do I look like a fool to you?" I glared harder
ROSALINE 32
ROSALINEEverything was beautiful. A smile played on my lips as I watched Alexei feed Blakely. She hiccupped and he quickly grabbed a cup of water to hand to her. He held it to her lips and said sweet nonsense to her as she drank from it.It was too cute to watch."Did you like it?" I asked her. she nodded with a wide grin, "Yes, mommy. It's very tasty." "Do you like your food?" Alexei asked me and I nodded with a smile. For the first time, he was dressed in a pair of jeans and a dark blue shirt. He looked so handsome out of his usual suit and tie. His hair was messy and he had a silver chain around his neck. He looked so beautiful and everyone knew it.I was dressed in a floral dress with sandals and so was Blakely. Alexei said something to her in Russian. She replied back in the same language and my jaw dropped. "Did you teach her Russian?" I glared at him. He gave me a grin, "It was hard not to. She's a very fast learner.""Yes, mommy. I've learnt plenty things," Blakely piped

EIGHT MONTHS LATERROSALINEA yawn left me as I opened my eyes to the sunlight on my face. With a groan, I turned around to face my other side. I was having a slight headache and I was also tired from staying up all night to feed Diana. Even my breasts hurt at the moment.I looked at the time on the wall clock to see that it was already noon. I've been asleep all morning. "I deserve a vacation," I moaned as I stretched my sore limbs. My phone began to ring and irritation filled me immediately. "Why would anyone be calling me at this time?" I huffed as I searched for the scrap of metal on the bed before getting it in my hands.After my previous phone was smashed into pieces, Alexei got me a new one. Me, being a woman that loves good camera squealed in happiness when I was gifted an iPhone 15. Really, I didn't care about whether it was cool or not, I just loved the camera. But I preferred Samsung though."WHAT?" I snapped to whoever was calling me. "Damn, woman. There's no need to be a

ROSLINEMy heart ached as I looked at him. His usually glowing skin was now pale. Even his lips were pale pink. I knew he lost a lot of blood. My chest felt heavy at the thought of losing him. "I'm so sorry," my voice came out broken. My eyes burned with hot tears as I placed my hand on his cheek. He felt a little warm under my palm but it did nothing to stop the ache in my heart."You're always getting hurt because of me," I sniffled and exhaled. This wasn't the first time he'd get injured all because of me. I was like a magnet of problems for him."I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," tears were falling down my cheeks. They were fat and ugly but I didn't care. They pain I caused Alexei was much more than this. "I'll make it up to you. I'll be a submissive wife, I promise. I won't ever defy your orders, I'll be good," I couldn't stop crying.ALEXEIThe pain I felt was too much and it was annoying. But what woke me from my sleep was a familiar cry. A cry that filled me with guilt.I opened my e

ROSALINE"What the hell?" Boris was enraged as he stormed towards the door. He walked out and it remained only the two men. I heard gunshots and a loud bang again. I exhaled shakily.I looked at Alexei who raised a brow at me. I nodded in response. He looked away from me and my gaze fell on his thigh. It had slowly stopped bleeding but he needed to be treated quickly.I didn't want to cry but it was so hard not to. I sniffled. Every part of me wanted to rip free and run to him. Even though he didn't let it show, I knew he was hurting.The door was slammed open, catching my attention and Yeka walked in holding a gun and covered in blood. Without a word, she shot the man behind me before he could move. "You bi-" the other man was about to punch her but she kicked his groin and shot him in the head. "Babe, sorry I took long," she ran to me and untied me. "Thank you," I sniffled as she helped me up.We ran to the guys and began to untie them. "I'm so sorry," I choked out when my hand tou

ROSALINE"Where are you heading to, ma'am?" one of the guards asked when I got to the gate. I couldn't believe the gate was so far from the mansion. But I guess it was for safety reasons.Swallow the lump I felt in my throat, I faked the most realistic smile I could muster. "Well, the weather seems nice for a walk. Don't you think?" I asked him. The other guards looked at each other with confused looks."We can get a car and escort you," the man in front of me said. I shook my head and waved him off, "There's no need for that. I will be back in nothing more than an hour. So, please open the gate."They gave me a hesitant look but I widened my smile to convinced them. It worked, thankfully.I thanked them as they opened the gate and I walked out.There were no buildings in this area. Only trees and a road path. I exhaled, running my hand through my hair and began to walk down the road. I hoped Alexei and Vlad were still alive.When I got to the main street, I hailed a taxi to take me

ROSALINEOnly God knew how long I stayed in my mother's arms, crying my heart out. She quietly stroke my cheeks as I calmed myself down. I missed her touch so much that my heart ached badly."You're still a baby," she chuckled softly and I sniffled as I sat up."I'm sorry," I wiped my cheeks. I haven't cried this much in a long time. I don't even know if it's the pregnancy hormones or what. She chuckled again and gave me a bright smile. The door opened and I turned to see Anya walk in with a mop in her hands."Oh my!" She gasped and the mop fell from her grip. She began to speak in Russian as she approached us with wide eyes filled with happiness.The my mother replied her in the same language. My eyes widened in shock as I snapped my head to her in disbelief. Anya looked shocked too."I will go and make soup now!" She squealed happily and ran out of the room.I stood up and disconnected the IV from her arm. "Can you stand up?" I asked her as I pulled the covers off her. "I don't know

ROSALINE"Mommy see! have a birdie!"I turned to look at Blakely who was holding up a bird shaped dough in her hand. "That's wonderful, sweetie. Now place it on the pan," I pointed at the pan beside her.She nodded and did as she was told.Anya had gone grocery shopping and Blakely and I were hungry so we decided to make cranberry and chocolate cookies. We also planned on making ice cream but that will be after we were done with the cookies.When we were done cutting out the dough, I placed the pan in the oven and we began to clean up.More than thirty minute later, we were seated by the counter eating ice cream and cookies. They tasted like heaven and I felt satisfied."I am hungry!" Yeka sang as she walked in. "Auntie!" Blakely waved happily. Yeka chuckled and approached her. "Hello to you too, little bean," she pecked the little girl's forehead and took a seat beside me.I glared at her when she took one of my cookies."There are left overs on the counter and there's ice cream in t
ROSALINE 44
ROSALINEI looked at my reflection with satisfaction. I looked like a mother with the way I was dressed in a floor length green dress. It was A shaped and had gold embroidery on it, making it look so beautiful.My baby bump was a bit evident and I wondered how I'd look like if I was full into my third trimester.When I was still working as a doctor in the hospital, I had come across different types of pregnant women. Some of them made me want to get pregnant while the others made me thank God for making me single.And no, I'm not joking.I wasn't the type to get pimples on my face but I think this pregnancy was meant to humble me because I don't understand why there were pimples scattered across my forehead."I look like shit," I huffed when I noticed them. And previously, I was admiring myself.What a wonderful day it is.Identify the sarcasm please.I decided to put on makeup then. It wasn't the heavy type, just minimum but enough to cover my ugly pimples. They weren't actually ugl
ROSALINE 43
ROSALINE"Hey, mom," I said as I walked into the room, pulling Alexei with me. He offered to follow me this time and I loved the idea. The room was properly lit with the window blinds pulled aside so there would be ventilation.I was really grateful to Anya for this."Sit here," I put Alexei on the arm chair beside the bed and sat on the bed. There was silence and I watched as he looked at my mother before speaking up. "You look just like her," he said and I nodded. "Now you know where I got my looks from," I said proudly as I wiggled my hands over my face making him chuckle. "You miss her," he stated and I nodded. I looked at my mother. "I've always craved for her warm hugs. I miss her sweet voice," I told him. "She can sing?"He looked genuinely interested and it made me smile. Marcus never really cared about the little things that I liked."She used to be an opera singer. She taught my brother and I how to sing and play a few instruments," I told him.He raised an amused brow at m

ROSALINEI just entered my second trimester!My baby bump was starting to become evident. I couldn't stop staring at it in the car as the driver took us to the hospital to get my prenatal and to take an ultrasound."What's wrong?" I turned to look at Alexei who was looking at me with a frown. "I'm getting fat," I pouted and rubbed my stomach. It was protruding and round.Oh my God!"I don't see that," his frown deepened. I rolled my eyes, "It'll soon be evident. I'll become fat with swollen legs and pimples all over my face. I'll become ugly."Alexei rolled his eyes and said something in Russian. "I'm getting a personal AI because of you," I huffed and turned to face the window. He chuckled and pulled me to him."I said you'll incredibly beautiful no matter what happens to you," he said and placed my hand on his chest. "Even if I was a worm?" I asked. He glared at me, "Why do you always have the reasoning of a child?""Why do you act like a grandpa?" I shot back.He raised a brow at
