ROSALINE 1
ROSALINEI walked in through the large double doors of my father's house and headed for the living room where I'd find one of my family members. I hated coming here. The only reason I came here was to check on my mom.But today was different."Rose!" I was suddenly engulfed in a hug by Lisa. I smiled as I hugged her back. She was my younger step sister and the only thing closest to a real sister that I had. I wished she was my real sister though."I'm glad you came. I haven't seen you in like two weeks," she said to me as we walked into the living room. "Dad sent for me," I said. "How is everything?" I asked her. "Everything is fine. Can you believe I'm going to graduate in two months with first class in business?" she asked me excitedly and I chuckled.She followed me into the kitchen and I went to the bar to grab one of the expensive bottles of tequila. "I'm proud of you, little sis," I said as I poured myself a glass and turned to face her. "I'm following after you. You're my role
ROSALINE 2
ROSALINEI walked into the plain room that was dim due to the thick blinds covering the large windows. "I thought I told Lauren to stop pulling them down in the morning," I mumbled as I walked over to the blinds and pulled them up so light could come into the room.I put the key back in my purse and made my way to large king sized bed where my mother laid unconscious."Good morning, mom," I mumbled as I took a seat on a stool beside the bed. Once again, I was greeted with silence. I had grown used to it over the years but yet, I wasn't used to it."It's been about a week or two," I started as I looked at the woman on the bed. I got all my looks from her. "I got a raise and a promotion three days ago. It was surprising but it seemed like the whole hospital knew about it, I was the only one who had no clue," I said with a chuckle.It was my usual practice to come here once in a while to tell my mother things I couldn't tell anyone. Only Lauren, Blaze and I had the key to this place. A

ROSALINE"Rose"I looked up from the file I was holding to see Henry walk in. he was part of the head doctors of this hospital and a friend. I kept him as a friend because I knew he liked me more than one.I knew better than to let him in. being born into the mafia had a lot of consequences for me. I couldn't have close friends, just superficial ones that won't actually care if I was missing.It was better that way."How's the patient?" I asked him. He shrugged, "He woke up after the surgery and began to ask if I was his boyfriend." I chuckled, "That's amusing."He scoffed and went to sit on the chair in front of me. "Are you ready to go on a coffee date with me now?" he asked with a pout. To be honest, he looked so cute and I had a little crush on him. His dirty blonde hair was always tidy and matched his dark green eyes. Not to mention how tall he was and he was also a gentleman."I'm a very busy person, Henry," I said to him. He blew a sigh, "Oh come on, Rose. Should I kneel?""Do

ROSALINEToday was wedding day. I'm supposed to be happy, I know.Happiness was far from what I was feeling at the moment."You look beautiful. Like a queen this time," Lisa said to me. I couldn't smile because I wasn't happy at all. The makeup artist did well to give me a light makeup.The door opened and I could see Catherine and Kimberly walk in from the reflection of the mirror. I rolled my eyes knowing they were only coming here to spit nonsense like they usually do. "So you were finally able to put your useless self to use," Catherine snickered. "Mom!" Lisa glared at her. her mother waved her off, "Learn to shut that mouth of yours if you don't know what to say." "Aren't you meant to be in the church?" I asked her with a bored tone. Catherine narrowed her eyes at me. "You're lucky there's a mother figure in your life," she sneered and I rolled my eyes."I'm sure your head will be sent back here in the next two months after they find out how useless and pathetic you are," Kimbe

ROSALINEA yawn left me when I woke up. I frowned when I noticed that my surrounding was different.'You're no longer home, idiot!' a little voice screamed in my head making me roll my eyes. My room was still dark even though light was peaking from the thick blinds of the window. I could still make out figures. Surprisingly, I found out that I wasn't going to share a room with my husband. I haven't even seen that man's face not to even talk about speaking to him.The moment we were done with the wedding at the church, he didn't even allow me to say goodbye to my family before dragging me into a car and taking me to the airport.Arrogant jerk!My phone began to ring and I picked it up. I smiled when I saw who was calling."Are you dead yet?" Lisa's quiet voice filled my ears making me laugh. "I'm still breathing, thankfully," I said and she let out a sigh of relief. "I couldn't eat properly when I didn't find you. Blaze told me you had left and I nearly fainted," she confessed."You

ROSALINEI followed Igor down the large stairs and into a hallway. I couldn't help but admire the paintings that were hung on the wall. I wasn't one that knew a lot about art but I knew enough to tell that the artist was skilled.Everything was beautiful. I didn't even know Igor had stopped until I bumped into his hard back. "Ouch," I mumbled as I rubbed my nose. "Sorry," I heard him mutter and knock on a large door. After two seconds, he opened it and walked in.I frowned. He didn't wait for permission?I followed him in though. I shudder as I was hit by the cold air in the room. The A.C. was surely on."She's here, Boss," Igor said and my eyes fell on the man seated behind the desk. God really has his favorites when he's creating people. Alexei sat at his desk, dressed in a white buttoned down shirt without a tie and two of his buttons undone, letting out a peek of his hard chest. "You sent for me," I cleared my throat before he could catch me staring at him. The last thing I ne
ROSALINE 7
ROSALINEI have spent two days in this place. I rarely left my room because I didn't want to come across Alexei. I only came out for breakfast and dinner and to also look after my mother. But today was different. I needed to exercise my muscles before I become bored out of my mind. I was missing the hospital so badly. Thanks a lot father.I was wearing a pair of jean shorts and an oversized green round neck today. The afternoon was hot and I didn't want to be all sweaty. "Anya?" I called as I walked into the kitchen. "Yes, dear?" she turned around with a smile. I giggled when I saw flour on her apron."What are you making?" I approached her to see that she was kneading dough. "Ooh, I'm making Vera's favorite snack. Alexei's parents are coming over and I know his sister will be very hungry," she said and my eyes widened.His parents were coming over?He couldn't even tell me!How nice of him."Do you know where the library is?" I asked her. "Oh yes. It's down the hallway, about thre

ROSALINEI walked out of my closet to see he was still seated there on my bed. "Asshole," I muttered and smoothened my green sundress. He looked up to see me and his infamous smirk settled on his face. I wished I could smack it off his face. "Now, you look like a wife," he got up and approached me. "Thank you for your praise," I rolled my eyes and we walked out of my room. I followed him down the stairs and into the living room."Mom," he called and I saw two females on the couch. One was a lot younger than the other."Alexei, you're back," the older woman said as she stood up. She was beautiful. Very beautiful.She had dark brown hair and baby blue eyes that made her exotic features look soft. I could mistake her for a model."Hello, darling," she approached me with the warmest smile I have ever seen ever since my mom died. My heart moved in my chest and I felt it."Good afternoon, Mrs. Volkov," I stretched my hand with a shy smile. I did not know what to do at all. She laughed an

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"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
