~ROSINA~I kept pacing all over the room in panic.Suddenly, realizing that I don't have his number—neither Andrew's number—hits me harder than I had imagined.How can I not have their numbers? They're my family.Aren't they?My heart irked at the thought of that.Hastily, I stepped out of the room and walked towards the sitting room. My legs hit the stairs gently, with mixed emotions and fears.He's deeply hurt. Where could he have gone?I arrived at the living room, and I realized not even a single soul was here.It's already midnight. Where could he have gone?I checked the time, and my feet trembled, my eyes dazzling with unseen anger mixed with hurt.Where could he have gone?It's nighttime, almost 12 AM midnight, and he's nowhere to be found, including Andrew.I regret not having their contact.How could I be staying with someone for over three months and not have their contact? Is that a sign of a good relationship?I didn't know when I started pacing all through the room. My h
~ROSINA~Renzo slept here last night.He cuddled me after our beautiful moment, promising to sleep off so I could see him the next day after I woke up.Right now, I am currently wishing it all was true and not a facade of my imagination.I slowly fought my eyes open, allowing the sleep that is forcing my eyes to close to wash in.No, Rosina, what if he isn't here? I complained to my subconscious mind.Without blinking in a thought, I forced my eyes open.I looked to the side of the bed where he had slept last night, and it was empty.A reminder that he might have left and not kept to his promises.He left?He promised he'd stay behind. Shouldn't he have kept it?I turned to the other side of the bed, ready to drag my ass off the bed and take a shower at least.I needed one after our night of passionate love-making, which had kept me on the edge and wanting him."Not yet, Mi Amor. You're not leaving soon." His voice echoes through the room.Watching him walk in through the door makes m
~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."
~ROSINA ~I grabbed the drink, gulping it all in at once. My body wavered, and I felt my thighs itching.I still can't get over the fact that my boyfriend of three years , who I had been planning a life longing relationship with is nothing but a cheater, who's busy sleeping with my step sister . While I was busy running the company.How ironic can life be , always punishing those with good intentions and allowing the ones who's damn evil minded scot free , without a trace to conquer. "Damm it, bro, I really need to ease myself, "I mutter,with the memories of my boyfriend sleeping with my very own stepsister lingering in my head.A tiny chuckle mouthed out of my lips, standing up to my feet. I began to stagger towards the leading door to the back of the club, and a hand grabbed me."Miss Rosina, I'd suggest we go home, you reeked of alcohol. "Kendy shoved me sideways and I let a groan escape me. as he quirks,then a smirk follows. Home?What is home , when only I will be reminded of
~LORENZO~ “Any news on her yet?” I asked my men, who had been in search of the mystery girl with her thoughts occupying my mind for the past two days now.I’ve been in search of her ever since she left the clubhouse. Her fierceness and brave attitude got me really attracted to her.Especially the way she tossed the money off to me after I gestured to send her off with money. I'd bet she was in a critical state, depicting how drunk she was last night and the depth of her thoughts when she called out Dante Marino. There might be some connection between those two, given the way she was willing to give herself to me.While thinking I was Dante Marino. “Boss,are you still there?” My carpo asked, and his voice was a bit coarse.“Get me every piece of information about her immediately. I don’t fucking care how you do it. Make sure to get her. “I informed my carpo, flipping the phone over with frustration.I still can't condone the fact that they have no information about her , even the hote
~ROSINA~I was shocked when that man from the hotel came to the scene to rescue me. I don't know what happened, but my body seems tense, and the only image I could imprint on my head while watching him smirk as Dante tried to kiss me is that of our hot sexual escapades. I didn't mean to think so much of it.But I was too engrossed when Dante left. He tries to talk to me, and I smirk, refusing him access. I had wanted to walk off when he called my attention to himself and saw the man, whom I desperately do not want to see at the moment, at my engagement party with a notorious criminal gang leader.I was determined not to pour my anger on him, especially when I finally wanted to go away, and his hand grabbed hold of my waist, drawing me closer to himself in a more intense romantic manner."A thank you for saving this little damsel would definitely be enough." He whispered into my ear, causing me to lose my cool as my body reacted suddenly to his words."I didn't force you to save me, di
~ROSINA~I walk into the golden pivoted room, which is well-decorated with the dimly lit light emanating from every angle of the room. The crowd murmurs when attention is placed on me, with Don Lorenzo De'Russo's holding tight to my hands as if his life depends on it. I felt a deep spark of sensation within me. His face was a velvet of handsomeness, and his looks were a resonator of darkness and a cold aura.Everyone's eyes were fixated on our hands, and as I glared at their lingering eyes hovering all around us, I was certain enough about what was going on in their minds as they glared at me."You don't need to let the eyes bother you further; focus on me, and everything will be fine as you please," Lorenzo whispers into my ears. His voice and closeness caused my heart to flutter at a cold whisper. His hands slowly went to my waist, and he grabbed me closer as the crowd went wide.My heart flickers simultaneously at his closeness. I'll be lying if I say I didn't feel the spark within
~LORENZO~She didn't answer my question; rather, she only glared at me. With a smirk mouthing on her face, she scoffed, shrugging. "I said this, and I stand by my words; you don't get to introduce me when we aren't yet married to each other.""But we are going to get married, aren't we?" I asked her, and she rolled her eyes furiously at me. The way she rolls her eyes at me, forces my heart to flush as I imagine her face in bed when she moans my name and her close proximity to me.How she happened to be another different person who doesn't feel scared when she's with me still lingers in my head, as this is the only thing that has attracted me to her: her boldness whenever she talks back to me and her glaring eyes whenever she slowly clasps her hands together around her breast.Damn it, believe it or not, she's extremely beautiful, and I couldn't help but keep wanting to be near her, which is quite frustrating and at the same time exhilarating."So, which is better, perfectly go with me

~ROSINA~I kept pacing all over the room in panic.Suddenly, realizing that I don't have his number—neither Andrew's number—hits me harder than I had imagined.How can I not have their numbers?

~LORENZO~I slammed both my hands harshly on the table, not realizing I had sustained a wound three days ago."How dare you," I roared angrily, despite the pain that came with me slamming my hands on the desk."She's my fuckin' woman, she's not a commodity," I growled, my voice dripping with anger as I continued to stare at the man who flinched and shifted backwards.How the fuck?How could he sell her off to him?Is he that desperate?Listening to his words and explanation irked me more than I had imagined."You could have come to me, I would have helped. Why did you have to bargain with Don Rodriguez?" I yelled again. This time I let out a loud groan before digging my hands into my pocket to bring out the gun.Antonio flinched when he saw it. He stood to his feet, likewise Andrew."Please, Renzo. We can resolve this with no violence," Antonio pleaded. His voice caused irritation to wash through me.I'd fuckin' blow his head off for bargaining with Don Rodriguez and using Rosina as a
~ROSINA~"My brother wouldn't have sustained any wounds if you weren't in the picture," Andrew's angry voice breaks through my thoughts.I tossed to the other side of the couch, pain coursing through me in all harmony.I couldn't close my eyes for a minute. His words were harsh, sharp, and calculated, yet they were directed to me.I could feel his exasperation masking his face when he yelled.I didn't think he'd command such respect like his brother. I guess bloodline doesn't lie, and he could be very intimidating like his brother.I continue to toss in the bed as the weight of my actions wafts through me.Hours passed by like minutes, yet I am still waiting for sleep to drift me away from the reality of my world.In these hours, I was always lost, staring at him as he slept peacefully.It dawned on me that I have never seen him sleep, never woken up to see him on the bed, and I have never experienced any of this with him.Not even for once had I thought of this.His breath hitched at
~ROSINA~"Will he get better after this?" Andrew asked the doctor directly."I'm certain," he replied, glaring at Renzo from the door."How deep is the bullet in his hands?" Andrew asked, his gaze fixated on his brother."Deeper than expected, it'll take time to heal."My heart pierced deep into my chest like a needle had been used to stab it as I listened to their hurtful conversation.I can't help but feel conflicting emotions and pain.I allowed them to sink into my heart, knowing I was the cause of this.Andrew only sighed after that."I’ll head out. Ensure he takes his drugs frequently, and there’ll be frequent checkups on him," the doctor said.Andrew nodded, glaring at me. He walked off, following the doctor as they exited the room.Silence took over the room, and my mind flowed with rebellious thoughts as I contemplated what to do.I dared not go in to see him.I knew he'd definitely not want to see me.I wished I did things differently. He wouldn't have been shot.I didn’t th
~LORENZO~"Boss, she's nowhere to be found," my carpo said through the phone, and I sprang up angrily to my feet."What the fuck do you mean?" I couldn't bear to ask."She... she... we searched everywhere for her," he stuttered.Damn it.What the fuck happened?"I'd bet on your life this minute—if anything happens to her, I promise, I'd roast you alive," I yelled.I didn't wait for his next word before ending the call and rushing out of the board meeting."We have an intended meeting," my secretary said."Dismiss," I ordered coldly.I rushed out of the office without uttering another word.I picked up my phone and placed a call through to Andrew.At first, he didn’t pick up. My feet trembled, my whole body became tense as I continued pacing round the room effortlessly.Fear, for the first time, gripped me.Gosh, pick up your phone, Andrew."Sup man," Andrew said over the phone, immediately he picked up on the second ring."Where the fuck were you? Rosy has gone missing," I yelled over
~ROSINA~Gosh.I missed him. Why isn’t he coming back?It’s been days, yet he still hasn’t returned.Andrew is always in and out, and each night, he’s always passing the information of Renzo not coming home.I expected things to change for the better after our last escapade.I miss him. Each night, I am left to wallow painfully with hurt, with the image of him all over the room.I couldn’t stop thinking about him. I guess being stuck in this house with nothing good to do got me thinking so much about him lately.I can’t deny the fact that I always miss him.I am growing to love this man, and I don’t know how to handle my feelings for him anymore.Even when I tried to deny my feelings, everything always worked out against me, 'cause I loved him.My whole body always vibrates in anticipation each time his name is being called.I couldn’t stop wanting him.I can’t stop dying to have him touch me.I can’t deny the pleasure I get whenever he fucked me.I was sexually attracted to him, and
~ROSINA~"I always love you?" These words ring in my ear the moment I open my eyes.A smile curls up on my face.I couldn't believe he said these words to me yesterday.We made love, and this time, it was more pleasurable than the last.His touch was so tender and alluring. I couldn't resist it—all I wanted was him.No matter how hard I tried, I knew I'd definitely not get enough of him.I turned to the other side of the bed, and he was all gone."He didn't sleep here?" I asked my subconscious mind.I looked around the room, and I couldn't sense him anywhere.The room was already neatly arranged, like there was no trace of what happened last night.Scoff."No one asked him to do it," I muttered as I dragged myself from the bed.I rushed down to the bathroom to have a quick bath before coming out.As usual, I repeated my daily routine—cleaning up, styling my hair, and making sure I looked so pretty before heading out of the room.I had forgotten about my best friend, Diana, and the fac
~ARIELLA~All I could do was glare at Andrews.His words hit me hard.It came unexpectedly. I didn't know how to respond to it, but my heart said it all.I guess I should have known he'd talk about her."You do love her then," he shrugged, glaring at me."That means you'll protect her, right?" he asked, and I rolled my eyes."I never said I love her," I responded, glaring at the documents as I tried to avoid his gaze."That doesn't mean I wouldn't protect her either," I added.Andrew only nodded his head at me."I'm glad," he mumbled. "At least, you are not giving her out to these monsters." Relief coursed through him as he made that statement."Never said I was giving her out, did I?""You acted like you'd give her out.""I never did. What makes you think so?" I had to ask. I didn't think Andrew cared much about her."You let Sarah have her way with you and also," he paused to glare at me, "You never cared enough about her.""I couldn't let them know what was going on. Had to do it."
