Roselia's Love (A Mafia Billionera Novel) Chapter 1 - The Clifford Heir Is Coming Back
Roselia’s POVDo you know that feeling of dread when something you’ve planned for years on end, scrutinising, memorising every little thing, paying excruciating attention to detail, withholding patience you don't have just so you could be as sure of it as was humanely possible and then it was all finally coming together but you just couldn't help but wonder that what if someone noticed something unusual and I was caught before the ball dropped. What if Edwin Clifford wasn't where he was supposed to be at the designated time, what if i messed up my part, erego destroying the whole bloody plan?The dread coiled up in my stomach like a snake, it growing more rabid and venomous with my increasing nervousness and anxiety. “Rose!!!”Romina, the Clifford mansion’s head chef yelled my name, snapping me out of my inner turmoil and almost making me slice a finger off along with the diced onions.“Stop being useless over there and bring me the tortilla chips from the freezer, from the one downst

At 6 in the evening, all the kitchen staff had been made to assemble in the ground floor storage room yet again to go over some last minute things. “Wow! The mistress is really going over the top with the preparations, the food, decorations and basically everything. She was even generous enough to gift us these pretty uniforms and aprons,” Leena loudly whispers to me as Romina stands at the head of the group of waiters and chefs, yelling out some instructions. Mrs. Clifford and generous? I don't think so. At least she loved her son though, loved him enough to show others kindness albeit it was for him. I kept my thoughts to myself, not ready to burst sweet Leena’s bubble just yet. She’d started here as a waiter only about a month ago and was already everyone’s favourite. She did exactly as she was told, wasn't mouthy or snarky and was happy to please everyone any way she could. I give her a small smile and just nod along. Leena was a few years older than me but seemingly as gullib

Everyone’s heads turned as the heavy footsteps neared us and one by one the Clifford family’s members took their place. I couldn’t help but stiffen when Waylen Clifford, brother of Edwin Clifford took his place at the head of the table, making me inch away from his chair. Luckily for me, he didn’t spare me a glance.Then Mr. Clifford’s youngest son, Gael Clifford took his seat on the fourth chair of the left side of the table, he was only 11 but had already wielded a gun. Dressed in a tux, the blonde boy looked like the spitting image of his father. Then his sisters, Olive and Lucy sat beside him and closest to the head seat……. my breath hitched so hard, I almost gasped for air. Closest to Waylen sat his brother, Edwin Clifford. Waylen was superior to Edwin in age, wealth and authority but not in cruelty. Other Cliffords along with the other guests took their seats but I couldn’t tear my eyes away from Edwin. He was right there, less than a few feet away from me. It took all the self

Derek’s POVShe was thinner than the last time I saw her, she had already been so frail, how the fuck could she possibly have lost more weight?She was taller obviously but still nothing more than a child in front of me. Strands of her wavy, dark blood red hair were tied up in a messy bun which ached to be pulled open and cascade in waves down her shoulders. Her delicate, lean arms were clad in a fitting red shirt and I caught a slight show of prominent collarbones sculpted so perfectly they were fit to be hangars for Gucci clothes and a waist so narrow it could fit in my one hand. I didn’t want to make her uncomfortable but I couldn’t help but behold each and every part of her for as long as I could. Then my mother decided that it was a good time for me to catch up with the gossip of the wives of the mafia and their “very” exciting life and then continued to engage me in some very boring conversation. I nodded at the right moments and mmhed and aahed along.I couldn’t help but frow

Roselia’s POV I had made it past the exit and found the truck I was supposed to escape in. I waved to the guy sitting in the driver’s seat. I half expected him to wave back and then the weirdest thing happened. He poked his head out the window and yelled for the patrolmen on guard. I was so confused for one second but then it clicked. It clicked quite quickly given the circumstances… but not quickly enough.It was a fucking setup.Horrified, I tried to make a run for it, my heart beating so loud, I couldn’t even hear my own pounding steps nor did I hear the shots that were fired until one hit me in the leg and I stumbled to the ground. I tried to get up as blood spurted from the wound in my shin. The bullet had passed through the flesh but still, there was so much blood. I could’ve still made it but the guards were too fast. I was on my feet and almost past the Clifford property’s boundary by the time they got a hold of me.I didn’t struggle as they dragged me back into the mansion

Roselia’s POVMy 5 feet tall body felt like it weighed a 1000 pounds. It felt like I was floating in the air and in place of my brain was a clump of cotton candy. I placed a hand on my forehead, rubbing lightly, trying to dull the ache as I sat up and let out a groan when my back felt like it was being sliced open by a 100 knives. “Put your back against the pillows. It will lessen the pain”, a nurse, who I only now noticed was also in the room kindly suggested. I listened, the fogginess in my brain clearing gradually.I let out a gasp when I realized that I was still in the mansion….. and alive.“No, you don’t have to….”, I resisted but the nurse straightened and fluffed the pillows behind my back anyway.I laid back and almost fell asleep again against the silky covers,” That’s actually a lot better, thanks.” The nurse frowned at me, placed a bunch of tablets on the nightstand, instructed me on how to take them and then left without another word.I rubbed a hand against my eyes and

Derek’s POVShe was curled up on the floor, hands tightened around her knees to make herself as small as possible. Her big brown eyes looked up at me. Her mouth scrunched up in annoyance as if I was the last person she wanted to see. She might have everyone in my family fooled but I knew she wasn’t the one who poisoned me.Anyone else would’ve missed it but I could see her eyes shine with relief when I walked in. Her face relaxed and she almost gave herself away but it was only for a mere fraction of a second before her blank, disappointed mask was on. It disappeared so quickly, I almost couldn’t even be sure if it had even been there in the first place.She might not have been the one to add poison to the food but she certainly was doing a good job of acting like she did.I needed to get to the bottom of this.She needed to tell me what the fuck was going on. What worried me most was how stiff her whole body was as she anxiously looked everywhere but at me. Her gaze flew to the wind

I felt a painful sting in my eyes. My body ached all over and when I was finally able to wake myself, I found myself to be lying in a pool of sweat. It was dark in the room except for one dim light. What?! My brain was frozen as I looked around the unfamiliar room which was more of a cell than a room. Just one dingy bed that I was lying on and couldn’t muster up the energy to get up from right now. I felt like I’d run a friggin marathon, the way I was aching all over, from head to toe. My head hurt so bad, it was hard to collect my thoughts and form one coherent mental picture or even collect myself to any extent. I suddenly sat up when a sharp pain shot up through my right arm. I could see a small barely there red mark like that of an injection. Did they inject me with something? Oh God?! Is that why….. well, that would explain the cell like room. But before that…. was that a dream? It had to be. But it had felt real. So friggin real. But drugs could make you dream up some cr
