This was her way to get back at him, somewhere deep within she always wanted what his fiancé had. She wanted him to flaunt her around in his arms and tell the world that she makes him happy but the world would never know that and she knows it very well. Alex will not take her out with him nor want to be seen out with her in public after all his family name was at stake. Her eyelids become heavy and soon sleep start taking over her. She rests her head on the window and lets her hair cover up her face while a tear drop escapes from her eyes. Love never came to her, she always kept yearning for it and it feels like it won’t come to her ever.
Ryan pulls out in front of a very posh restaurant and looks back to the backseat but a smile creeps to his face, seeing the girl sleeping, resting her head on the window. “Ma’am, ma’am.” He calls out to her but it’s of no use. “Rosie, wake up.” He calls out again, this time calling her by her name. She wakes up and smiles sheepishly, feeling embarrassed that she fell asleep. He smiles looking away from her, he always liked her; it’s not his fault that he does. Her innocent face, her long black hair calls out to him, but he never had the courage to ask her out and tell her to stop seeing the douche that his boss is.
Rosie rubs her sleepy eyes and pulls out the compact mirror out of her handbag and slowly wipes the residue of her messed up mascara from her eyes. She takes a rouge lipstick and slowly applies it onto her now swollen lips; she could still feel his touch linger on them. After putting the mirror and the lipstick back in the handbag she runs her fingers through her hair and locks eyes with Ryan in the rearview mirror. He quickly looks away from her as he has been gawking at her for forever. Clearing his throat he steps out of the car and gets to the other side and opens the car door for her, she steps out and sees the manager hurrying his way towards them. "Mr. Anderson.... um isn't this his car?" The manager asks the security guards perplexed. "Yes it is his car." The guard replies to him.
The manager looks her up and down with an expression which she quite can't get a hold of what it meant. He stares at her with distaste and looks away mumbling something to himself. She pulls on her dress to cover her exposed skin; the man is making her feel so small, she now knows that the man understood what she is to Alex and so did the security guards. It breaks Ryan’s heart to see her like this, he could feel her pain but wasn’t able to do or say anything to her. A realization hits her, thinking what a big mistake it was to come here, that too in his car and in these clothes. She quickly turns to her heels and rushes inside the car; Ryan gets the queue and quickly gets in the car as well and drives away as fast as he can. Her heart starts pounding in her chest due to the sheer fear of thinking of the consequences if somehow Alex finds out about all these. He will be furious for sure; this is not the first time she has made this sort of mistake. She has done it before and she knows very well what will happen next.
When she reached her apartment the first thing she did was take a bath in hot water; the hot water sure did soothe her pain. After taking a long bath, she sits on the couch and turns on the TV and starts to order some food. All of a sudden the calling bell starts ringing nonstop. "Coming!" She yells and runs to the door. As she opens the door, she comes face to face with an angry looking Alex, who is standing there with his jaw clenched and eyebrows knitted together. She gulps down audibly while her gut twists in fear of seeing him like this. He never came to her house, unless there's something wrong. Without saying anything he pushes past her and gets in. "Close the door and come here." He orders in a stern voice. She slowly closes the door and nervously walks to him. He glares at her and suddenly slaps her with the back of his hand, making her fall on the couch. Her head spins, a sharp pain starts spreading around her jaw and cheekbones. She holds onto the couch for support as she feels a tear escape her eye.
"What have I told you? Not to disobey me! Didn't I?!" He shouts at her. Rosie slowly looks down at the floor and sits on the couch while wiping her tears. "You disobeyed me to get some food? Okay great, no problem but how fucking dare you go to the restaurant I fucking visit every day and they fucking know who I am!" He yells at her making her flinch in fear. She keeps her gaze on the floor, not daring to look up at him. "Have you seen yourself?! You class-a whore!! You fucking ruined my reputation!" He shouts and grabs onto her chin harshly, squeezing it with his thumb and index finger and makes her look at him. She stares at him while her tears keep on falling nonstop; his words hurt her more than the slap. "Don't you know your status?! Don't you know where you belong! You cheap woman!" He yells letting her chin go. Tears escape from her eyes while she watches him walk out of the apartment, slamming the door shut. After that she stares at the floor for how long who knows. A cry escapes her throat bringing her back to the horrific reality.
It has been a few days since Rosie and Alex had that incident, she has been upset lately, just thinking why hasn’t he call her to him yet? Why isn’t he contacting her? Are they done? They can’t be done; she won’t be able to handle the fact that they are done. Her body and soul is his, if he doesn’t let her see him again she might die. That’s what her thinking is; the thinking of a stupid, mindless girl. Her face is gloomy every since that day, not once has she smiled. The bags under her eyes tell the lack of sleep she is having, just because Alex Anderson isn’t calling her to him. He has her all wrapped around his fingers, even with all the pain he puts her through she still wants to go to her. The loud alarm r
"Make me a drink." He says not even sparing her a glance. No apologies are going to be made as usual and she’s going to forgive him even though he didn't ask for it. Without a word she walks to the side bar in the suite and starts making his go to drink. It's whiskey on the rocks, a memory pops up in her head of him wanting her to try it, when she did it made her throat burn, like he makes her heart burn. She walks to him and stands in front of him with the drink. He takes it from her hand without looking at her. She keeps on standing in front of him as if she is dazed. "Get on your knees." He says while taking a sip of the drink. She does as told andkneels down in front of him, with her hands resting behind her back. Alex finally looks at her and he stares at her for while, with an expressionless face. She is feeling hap
He presses his chest on her back and wraps his arms around her waist, as he starts unbuttoning the jeans, she tries to hold onto something to hold herself up as her legs are turning into jelly. She can feel his warm breathe on her neck, as he harshly pulls down her jeans along with her panty. She breath hitches feeling him caresses butt hercheekswith one of his large hands, she swallows down thickly trying to calm herself down."Ahh!!"She screams out when he harshly squeezes them."Tell me doll who did you spend your time with, who did you let be around you when I wasn't there?! Who did you let abuse you other than me?! Don't you know I own you? Don't you know you are mine?" He growls in her ear and bites down on her ear shell wh
Alex walks to the bar counter and pours him a drink and takes a long sip of it and closes his eyes and crack his neck. Rosie is now lying on the floor while tears from her eyes keep on falling nonstop. Suddenly Alex starts chuckling, he puts his drink glass on the counter and look at her and starts laughing loudly. She slowly looks at him and wipes her face with the back of her hand and sits up. “You don’t know what you’re starting Rosie, I’m warning you don’t mess with me. This won’t be good for you I will send you away and never call you to see me. That’s all he needed to say, his words hit her like a truck she gets on her fours and crawls to him and sits at his feet and stares up at him. “Don’t ple
They lay on the bed in each other’s warm embrace; it feels like they are one. He lies on top of her breathing heavily, she tries to calm her breathing, her eyes are closed; lips parted. Suddenly, it goes away, he pulls out of her and pushes her away from him and stands up. Opening her eyes she stares at him sidewise, still laying flat on her stomach. He grabs a towel and walks in the bathroom, without sparing her a glance. She closes her eyes and starts falling asleep due to tiredness.After a while
Suddenly, it feels like to her as if someone has ripped the floor from beneath her feet. Nothing makes sense to her, she only knew him, he was her first and she wanted him to be her last. Why is he doing this all of a sudden? She has been adamant before, it’s not that surprising; she gets needy for him, when he has been extra harsh on her. He knows it too, but suddenly why is he changing? Did he find someone else? Is someone else more giving to him?“Did you find someone else?” She slowly looks up at him and slowly stands up.“I won’t tell you no for anything, I won’t ask for anything else. Please don’t end this.” She begs to him.
It has been a few months since the last time Rosie saw Alex, that day when he left the hotel room, she stayed in that room for week all alone. When she came out of the room she had lost a significant amount of weight and her body was weaker than ever. Her life changed completely; there was no purpose of her life anymore.She continued her day to day routine, but she wasn’t the same like she was before. It’s as if she is dead on the inside, she has lost all hope. Tragic stuck once again, when her father died a few days ago, her mother was already dead; she died during her birth. Her entire life her father hated her because of that, he always called her; her mother’s murderer.And now her died father as well, she is an orphan, no one is there whom she can call her family. Whatever her father did to her, yet she could at least say he is alive
Jake lives in a small apartment building, which is surprisingly very near to the Anderson Corporation building. They get in the elevator and stand in complete silence in there while the elevator goes up to the 4th floor. Once it stops he gets out, yet again without lending her a hand to carry her luggages. Such a jerk he is, she rolls her eyes and slowly gets out of the elevator. He unlocks his apartment door and walks in, she follows him in with her luggages and looks around. It is a small apartment but it somehow has a very homey feel to it. The cozy looking couch is the only thing that is in the small living room, along with a flat screen.
The months following Rosie and Alex’s tentative reconciliation were marked by cautious optimism. Alex continued his therapy, both physical and psychological, and the changes in him were undeniable. He was becoming a better version of himself, the man Rosie had fallen in love with but never truly known.Rosie, too, was healing. Her relationship with Ryan grew stronger, though they kept it platonic out of respect for the complex emotions involved. She spent time at the mansion with Alex, helping him through his rehabilitation while maintaining her life at the cottage with Ryan.One evening, Rosie found herself at the mansion, sitting across from Alex in the study. The room, once filled with tension and resentment, now felt different—warmer, more hopeful."Rosie," Alex began, breaking the comfortable silence. "I’ve been thinking a lot about us. About everything we’ve been through."Rosie nodded, her heart pounding. "And what have you concluded?""I want to make things right," Alex said,
Rosie and Ryan's departure left a palpable emptiness in the mansion. The echo of their absence hung in the air, a constant reminder to Alex of his crumbling world. Alone in his study, Alex stared out the window, his mind a tumult of anger, regret, and a desperate longing to change.He knew he had pushed Rosie too far, driven by his insecurities and fear of losing her. Now, he was left with the wreckage of his own making, but amidst the desolation, a small flicker of resolve began to take root.Days turned into weeks, and Alex found himself grappling with his emotions in solitude. He attended his physical therapy sessions with a renewed determination, driven not just by the desire to regain his strength but by the need to prove to himself and to Rosie that he could change.Dr. Emily Hart noticed the shift in Alex's demeanor during their sessions. He was less hostile, more focused, and increasingly open to her guidance. "You're doing great, Alex," she said one morning, as he completed a
Despite the fragile truce, tensions continued to simmer beneath the surface. Alex’s efforts to change were genuine, but his jealousy and insecurities often got the better of him, leading to explosive outbursts that left Rosie emotionally drained.One evening, as Rosie was preparing dinner, Alex rolled into the kitchen, his face set in a grim expression. "We need to talk," he said, his voice tight."Okay," Rosie replied, setting down the knife she was using to chop vegetables. "What’s on your mind?"Alex wheeled himself closer, his eyes locking onto hers. "I’ve been thinking about what you and Ryan said. About me needing to change.""And?" Rosie asked, her heart pounding in her chest."And I think I need help. Professional help," Alex admitted, his voice breaking. "I can’t do this on my own."Rosie’s eyes filled with tears of relief. "Thank you, Alex. That’s a huge step.""But there’s something else," Alex continued, his expression hardening. "I don’t trust Ryan. I don’t like the way h
Rosie stood by Alex’s side, the warmth of his hand a stark contrast to the cold dread pooling in her stomach. She knew their journey to healing would be fraught with setbacks, but she didn’t anticipate how quickly things would spiral out of control.The following week started off well enough. Alex made a genuine effort to be more considerate, attending his therapy sessions without complaint and even sharing a few moments of tenderness with Rosie. But the shadow of his past behavior loomed large, and the slightest frustration would trigger his old temper.One afternoon, as Rosie was helping Alex with his exercises, he grew increasingly frustrated with his limitations. His anger boiled over when he failed to complete a particularly challenging movement."Damn it, Rosie!" he yelled, pushing her away. "I can’t do this! I’m useless!"Rosie stumbled back, her heart breaking at the sight of his anguish. "Alex, it's okay. You’re making progress. We just need to keep trying.""Progress?" Alex
Days turned into weeks, and while Alex's attempts to change were inconsistent, there were moments of progress. Rosie clung to these glimpses of improvement, hoping they were signs of a better future. Ryan continued to be her rock, offering quiet support and gentle encouragement whenever she needed it.One rainy afternoon, Rosie was in the library, organizing the bookshelves. She found solace in the quiet room, the scent of old books providing a comforting distraction from the tension that still lingered in the house. As she worked, she heard the familiar sound of Alex's wheelchair approaching."Rosie?" he called out, his voice softer than usual."I'm here," she replied, turning to face him.Alex wheeled himself into the room, his expression unreadable. "I wanted to apologize for the other day. I know I’ve been... difficult."Rosie nodded, her heart softening. "I appreciate that, Alex. I know this isn't easy for you."He sighed, rubbing his temples. "I just feel so useless sometimes. A
Rosie returned to the mansion with a sense of determination she hadn’t felt in months. She needed to find balance in her life and address Alex's treatment of her, but she also knew she couldn't do it alone. As she approached the front door, she heard the low rumble of an engine and turned to see Ryan, parking the sleek black car in the driveway.Unlike the other staff who had left after Alex's accident, Ryan stayed, not just out of loyalty, but also because of a growing affection for Rosie."Hey, Rosie," Ryan called out as he stepped out of the car. "Everything okay?"She forced a smile, trying to mask the turmoil inside her. "Hi, Ryan. Just got back from town."Ryan studied her face, his expression softening with concern. "You look like you could use a break. Want to take a walk around the grounds with me? Clear your head a bit?"Rosie hesitated, glancing back at the house where Alex awaited. But the idea of a brief escape, even within the estate's confines, was too tempting to resis
Morning light filtered through the heavy curtains of the mansion, casting a muted glow over the room. Rosie stirred from a fitful sleep, her body aching from the tension she carried. She knew Alex would be awake soon, and the day's routine would begin anew. She took a deep breath, willing herself to find the strength to face him.In the kitchen, Rosie prepared breakfast with practiced efficiency. As she arranged the food on a tray, she heard the faint sound of Alex's wheelchair approaching. She turned to see him entering the room, his face set in a familiar mask of frustration and impatience."Good morning," she greeted him, forcing a smile.Alex barely acknowledged her, his eyes scanning the room with a critical gaze. "Is that all you made? You know I need more than this," he grumbled."I'm sorry, Alex. I'll get you more," Rosie replied quickly, adding extra portions to the tray. She placed it before him, her hands trembling slightly.As he ate, Rosie watched him, her heart aching wit
Rosie sat by the window, watching the sunlight filter through the heavy drapes. It’s been three years since everything crumbled. Rosie had seen hell with every second that had passed But love, as she had learned, could be a double-edged sword."Rosie!" Alex's voice echoed through the halls, sharp and demanding. The sound made her flinch, a reflex born from months of enduring his outbursts. She quickly rose from her seat and made her way to the study, where Alex spent most of his days.He sat behind a massive mahogany desk, its surface cluttered with papers and remnants of his past life. His eyes, once bright with ambition, were now clouded with bitterness. The accident had stolen more than just his mobility; it had taken his identity, leaving him a shadow of the man he used to be."Yes, Alex?" Rosie asked, her voice gentle but weary."Where's my medication? You know I need it by noon," he snapped, his hands gripping the armrests of his wheelchair with white-knuckled intensity.Rosie no
There’s a void surrounding the entire apartment, Ryan is still sitting on the couch with all the lights still off. He has been waiting for Rosie to come back home, it’s been like for a few days. Whenever he comes back home he finds an empty apartment. At times the insecurities creep in, all the thoughts of her not even caring for her, did she ever care for him or was all he was to her was a quick stop before she made up her mind. He knows he is nothing compared to Alex, he has it all but he loved her Alex did not, he never will. The rattling of the door pulls him out of his thoughts and looks at the direction of the door and sees Rosie enter. She looks exhausted, her face looks dull and she had a bruised right cheek. Ryan slowly stands up and walks to her and stops her before she could enter the bedroom. “Welcome home.” He pulls her to his chest and holds her in his embrace but she doesn’t hold her back, she just stands there like a dead person. “Rosie, this is not love.” He
