View More~RODINA~Heat courses through me, as I stepped down from the car.I am still very much angry.Angry at the fact that they dare look down on my woman.And not only do they look down on her, they talked trash about her.Made her a laughingstock and even had the audacity to announce their fuckin’ marriage and rub it in her face.I watched her open the car door as she steps out elegantly.Her eyes matched mine and she quickly looked away.I bet she'd never seen this side of me.I didn't think I'd be able to watch that lowlife talk trash about her in such manner.She slowly takes steady steps towards me, and my heart pulsates in my chest when she stopped in front of me.I let out my hands and stretched it towards her. She grabbed a hold of me, glaring at me."Thank you," she mutters, and I smirked.When our eyes collided, my heart plummets and deep waves of desire flush through me.We make our way towards the room, as I mutter, "You shouldn't let them treat you like that," I stated, obviou
~ROSINA~They all stare angrily at me.I could see through their anger.Dante somehow doesn't seem angry. I feel he was slapped with an inner peace as he breathes in deeply.Kira, on the other hand, looks so devastated, and it's as if she wanted to pluck my eyes out if she could.Dad didn't take it lightly. I knew he wanted this marriage desperately because Lorenzo De'Russio's hasn't given him half of the balance.Sometimes, I am left to wonder if this man is actually my father.My stepmother is the most devastated.They all were, but I guessed they can't lash it out so long as Lorenzo De'Russio's is in our midst.I glance through to him, and my heart skips.He's as calm as ever, and his face is solemnly glaring at mine.He didn't say a word. All he does is glare at me.For a man who wanted a family and an heir, I expected he'd be more than devastated."Is that what you want?" Holding my hands, he asked, with his calm gaze that is fixated on me.The way he rubbed on my hands caused my
~ROSINA~When he said these words, my body reacted to it in a way I couldn't understand.He has this much effect on me, and despite what he's done, I couldn't bring myself to hate him.Not for a second.He didn't tell me we were actually coming to meet Dad.You could have seen the joy on my face when we stepped into the compound.Gosh, I missed him.I missed this place so much.My joy was soon cut short when Kera and Dante walked into the room."Why is she here?" I asked myself subconsciously."How could they be holding hands after the betrayal. Fuckin' asshole," I muttered to myself subconsciously.I would have sworn they were here to piss me off.Kera glared bitterly at me when she got closer.Her eyes matched with that of Lorenzo's, and that caused fear to wash through her as she quickly looked away.She grabbed Dante’s hand and led him to a seat, with Dante fuming with anger.When he saw me, I could see the look of displeasure on his face.Serves him right.We all settled into the
LORENZO I had been pacing all over the room, with the vivid image of what I had done earlier haunting me.I had let my inner anger and frustration simmer freely within me, and without hesitation, I caused her so much pain.I could have controlled it all, but I had let my inner insecurities take over me. How did I end up becoming a monster?I hurt her, pierced her skin, and caused her this pain. I shouldn't have done that to her. Right now, I was regretting every decision I had made.I knew asking her for such was already too much, and bringing Danielle into the picture was also disrespectful. But hurting her?How could I explain that? I wished and hoped I could make up for this. I didn’t know how to, but I definitely wished to.Every pain I caused her only made me realize what I truly was. The truth about my identity could not be hidden.What was I expecting? Suddenly demanding what? A family? I shrugged, scoffed, and tried to suppress the heavy weight of my thoughts.Had I forgotten
ROSINA I woke up the next morning, feeling very alive but uneasy. I didn’t know if I was actually having some weird thoughts.As I sat on the bed with the towel wrapped around my waist, my mind flashed back to last night. I could have sworn he was here.I didn’t think I was dreaming or making things up. I definitely saw him, felt him, and saw him smash his lips against mine.Or was all that just a fragment of my imagination? Were these thoughts appearing in my head because I had thought about him before bed?I had thought so, but then when my lips felt sore and uneasy, I began to doubt my own thoughts. My lips said otherwise.I was still lost in my thoughts when the door opened, and the devil I had been thinking about all night appeared before me.He was wrapped in a towel, covering just his lower abdomen, revealing his full chest. I couldn’t help but feel drawn to him.I found myself soliloquizing dreamily at him. I shouldn’t have been doing this, but I couldn’t control my feelings,
ROSINA My heart throbbed in my chest as the door pushed open, and Lorenzo De'Russo walked in. Andrew was behind him, his hand wrapped around his arm.At first, I thought I might have heard him wrong. But when he moved closer and walked toward her, I became flabbergasted and confused.What did he think he was doing? He definitely wasn’t trying anything stupid right now, was he? I hoped not.“She’s my woman; she has been even before your existence, and she will be handling almost everything starting now. Her rules are also your commands,” he instructed, his voice dripping with authority.His gaze somehow held fury. “You must be kidding,” I told him, but he only smirked like he had control over everything.“Not when I am damn serious about this particular one,” he scoffed, drawing her closer, then added, “The journey wasn’t stressful, was it?”“Of course not,” she responded, her eyes roaming all over him like she was mesmerized by his presence. I felt anger simmer within me.Jealousy c
ROSINA “You needed to make sure he paid the money; your dad’s business was running at a loss, and you had to do something," my stepmother said over the phone.Her voice was dripping with hate and sarcasm. “Are you listening? Your dad was running at a loss, and you should have been able to do something to help since Lorenzo was refusing to help," she half-yelled. I could tell she was clearly frustrated.I only rolled my eyes over the phone. Of course, she still thought I was a tool and had been used for their selfish gain.“I’ll talk things out with him, and just so you know, I am not his wife yet. We aren’t married, and I don’t think we ever will be," I informed her, and she only hissed loudly before she ended the call.Damn it! She did this again. She was trying to use me to her advantage. For heaven’s sake, Lorenzo had already fulfilled his promises to them. What more were they after?Hadn’t they done enough to destroy my life? Dad forced me into a relationship I wasn’t prepared fo
LORENZO I would have pounced on her, smashed my lips on hers, and kissed her like my life depended on it.Right now, as I fixed my gaze on her, I was only intrigued by her beautiful shape and alluring eyes, which were fixated on me.The way she breathed, I could practically hear her heartbeat tremendously as the tension in the room rose more than I had imagined.I didn't know what was going on, but I knew I desperately wanted her. I desired her, and I knew I shouldn't be doing this.I was captivated by her gazing at me. Before I knew it, my inner beast rose beyond my imagination.I knew right then, if I didn't take my gaze from her, I would end up wanting and desiring her.For a woman who's bold, beautiful, and arrogant, I still didn't find what I loved about her—not when she was bent on making my life hell.My inner mind continued to whisper dirty words in my ear, and the closer we were to each other, the more I desired her.The more I found myself wanting her. At some point, I wish
ROSINAMy breath became hushed as I kept staring at the man whose eyes were fixated on me. I didn’t know what this was, but my heart was stupidly beating faster than I had imagined.His gaze was filled with fury, yet I found myself drawn to him and wanting him. I didn’t know how to explain this feeling; there was a pull within me pushing me toward him.Gosh! This man was the devil. I wasn’t supposed to be attached to him. Why, then, was I wanting him so badly?For daring to disregard me and wanting me to adhere to his warnings and rules, I should have been mad at him.But since he walked into the room after his confession, I was only filled with love and desire. I hated to admit this, but right then, I craved this man more than I had ever craved anyone in my life.I was consumed by his fire. I watched him ruffle his head in frustration without taking his gaze off me.At some point, I thought he would slam his lips against mine and devour me, especially after his confession.But I gues
~ROSINA ~"Your wedding day with Don Lorenzo has been fixed. Your engagement party is in two days. "Dad broke the news to me. My heart aches and my head spins simultaneously at the news."Dad, do I really need to do this?". At least I should have my own life. "I motion persuasively."You can't just ditch the only opportunity to get a good deed; beside, consider this as an opportunity to serve your father for raising you without a mother, "my stepmother yelled, as she smirked, staring at me disgustingly."Dad is good enough to send you to him instead, " Kira,My step sister added. I stare at the people around me, tears threatening to fall rapidly from my eyes as dad's focus was mainly on me."Dad !! Please don't do this; you already know I've got a boyfriend and Dante and I are already engaged. You know this, dad. You can't go back on your words: "I whisper sadly,with my eyes focused on my father, who seems swamped, focusing more on whatever it is he was doing than the topic at hand."...
