Running his tongue over his lower lip, Roman's eyes appealed to the sight before him. He had attested the lingerie on Carmen and it was beyond perfect. It was like Victoria Secret had the red set made solely for the woman. The way her pale white skin shone from the red net fabric drove him crazy. Carmen was on the bed, legs crossed and her hands on the bed behind her back. Her red lips also complimented the seductive look and his little man was twitching already and his loose trouser suddenly felt tight.He didn't know how she got to know there was a hotel around here but he was grateful for it. After their dinner, Carmen told him it would be best to pass the night where they could have enough privacy. Whlist he settled the hotel bills, Carmen had gone in then he came in and sw the magnificent sight before him. "Red." He finally croaked out. Carmen had thought he was so shocked, she had made the man lose his voice. She liked the reaction on Roman's face. Her source was right about
Rose watched as Eva Spoke softly with the twins. Their eyes were lit in excitement of seeing their mother. For the first time, Rose saw Eva in her purest and softest form and it made her wonder what exactly happened with she and Roman. Why did Roman hate her so much and what caused their divorce. It didn't sit well with Rose that Eva woke the kids past their bed time and it going to affect them tomorrow because they had to be at school. Although they were beaming with excitement they were acting sluggish and groggy and that was because they needed their sleep."Eva, the twins are tired. Let them go to bed. They've got school tomorrow." Rose limped into the twins room. The soft, kind look on Eva"s face was replaced with a scowl directed at Rose but Rose didn't cower instead she walked closer and sat on Christine's bed and said out loud, "the twins have school tomorrow. You should leave now.""Leave?" Christopher croaked out as his lips curved down. His sister pouted and placed her ha
"Christine and Christopher, you bother get into the car!" Eva ordered her kids. They were excited to go out with their mother so they moved towards her car. "Christine and Christopher don't moved an inch!" Their father ordered them. The twins were confused but they obeyed their father. "Rose, get the twins inside the house." "Alright." She made to take the kids but Eva grabbed Rose by pulling her long, shinning black hair. Rose fell to the floor, hitting her head hard. Roman rushed to Rose's side. She was on the floor groaning, her hands on her head. He ran his hand over her fore arm. For some reason, he couldn't stand seeing her in pain. The twins were shocked to see their mother treat Rose that way. Their father had always told them to desist from violence and even their teachers but they were confused seeing Thier mother treat someone that way. Especially because it was someone they loved. Both kids held each other's hand while watching the scene before them. Roman charged a
Roman was still furious Eva would pull such a stunt. It was really stupid of her to try to take the twins without his consent. Although, if she had asked, she wouldn't have let her them. After all that happened tonight, it was obvious she wasn't a good mother and so he wasn't going to ever let Eva around Christopher and Christine. Roman felt really grateful and indepted to Rose for protecting the twins against Thier crazy mother. After all that he did to her, she stood string and fought again Eva. It showed how dedicated the girl was a d how much she loved the twins .The girl had a swollen cheek, a broken ankle and some bruises from the men hitting her. Roman got upset all over again remembering how they beat Rose up. He wasn't going to let that happen again. He had promised himself that as long as Rose was responsible for his kids, he was going to be responsible for her. Roman wasn't sure if it was all because of what happened he made the decision or because of how he felt for Rose
"This tastes really good." Rose compliments after the first taste from the food. She was really impressed to see Roman knew his way around the kitchen and he knew how to use the utensils really well. Roman wasn't bluffing about him being a good cook. She took another spoonful of food and moaned in delight. "Told you I'm really good at what I do." He put the napkin over his shoulder. He still had the apron on. "What did you put in this?" Rose was curious. Roman used him hands to show his lips were sealed. "A chef never reveals his secret ingredient. It defeats it being your special recipe. Do you see SpongeBob going around telling everyone the Krabby patty secret formula?" "I'm not Plankton so you can tell me." Rose snorted after taking a sip from her orange juice. It was freshly made by Roman. His cooking skills were top notch and she was very impressed"Hmm." He hummed stroking his jaw like he was deep in thoughts. "I will have that at the back of my mind."Rose chuckled. " I'll
It all finally dawned on her why Roman hated Eva and why he was overly protective of the twins from her. What Eva had done to Roman and the twins was really cruel. She couldn't imagine how much it had hurt the man. It also dawned on her that was why he was with different women. It was probably his way of not getting attached to any woman and falling in love again.Roman keeping Christine and Christopher from their mother was a way of him protecting them from Eva breaking their heart like she did to his. Roman was basically like a mother hen but Rose felt he was taking it the wrong way. There were other ways to protect his children while he still let them have contact with their mother but she knew once bitten twice shy. Roman still had stream of tears rolling down his cheeks as he cried silently.As much as it felt like he was reliving the entire ordeal, he also felt like a burden was lifted off his shoulders. It felt good to finally let someone know how hurt he was. Mrs Meyer had to
Rose couldn't help but feel jealous from Carmen calling Roman's phone. She was angry Roman's girlfriend had to ruin their passionate make out session. The call had ruined the most passionate kiss to they had ever had. No man had ever mad her feel the way Roman made her feel with his kiss. Not even Daniel.It was like a billion butterfly got lose I'm her belly when she connected lips with the billionaire. Rose was sure this was an experience she would never forget. He tasted like the chicken soup he had made her and she wished she explored his mouth a little longer. Rose stared hard at Roman as they sat in silence while only Roman's ring tone filled the room. When it finally stopped, Roman took Rose's hand but she retracted it like it was fire. Roman's phone sound again as it rand out loud whilst also vibrating. He felt like throwing his expensive Iphone at the wall but he kept still. Carmen was best in ruining perfect moods and moment."Carmen, again?" Gulping nervously, Roman nodd
"Daddy, when will aunty Rose be back?" Christopher asked as his father tied his shoe lace. It had only be two days since Rose had gone on her break and the twins wouldn't stop asking about her. Their father had explained to them that Rose was on a break but they still kept asking about her. They really missed her."Christopher, I've told you your aunty Rose is on a break and won't be back until the week is over." Roman tried not to snap at his son as he explained for the like hundredth time. He was tried having to repeat the same thing over and over again but he understood they were still kids and they missed her so much. He also missed her too. "I miss her. I miss her, daddy." Christine who was sitting on her bed said. She had her backpack strapped on her back. She was dressed and ready for school and the only person keep the waiting was her brother. "Oh, sweetie, I miss her too but she needs to have some time to herself." Roman finished up tying Christopher shoe lace then he star
Roman smiled. He was so proud of Rose. He had heen in the hall when she was called as the best graduating student and he couldn't be more proud. The wide grin etched on Rose features was so contagious that a similar wide smile also came spreading across his face. She looked beautiful as always in the pink dress and her hair was much longer than the last time he had seen her seven months ago. She also looked even more beautiful and she was. He liked that she was a very brilliant lady and not only did the award prove that but her speech was simply amazing. It was well articulated. It was worth every applause it got.Seeing Rose again after months of not seeing her was strange. She had changed a whole lot. It was a good kind of change because she was looking much younger and even more beautiful than she already was. He was mesmerized by her flawless make-up and the way the pink dress she had on hugged her body stature like it was a second skin. The way the dress bandaged her body and re
Rose made her way to the podium shocked and surprised. She never thought she would be give the honor if best graduating student. She knew for a fact she was very intelligent and brilliant but she had no idea she would be the best graduating student. Her grades had gone down when she had started to work to pay her outstanding debts so she never expected that she would get hmthe award. Getting into college, she always wished she would be called upon as the best graduating student and have the people she loved the most behind her as she went to receive the award. She had given up on her dreams of getting the honour of the best graduating student because she had become distracted because of the jobs she had to take up. Getting the award was like a dream come true to her because she given up on wining the award. She climbed up the stairs that led to the podium and she looked behind her but there was no one behind her to celebrate her. She had imagined Magarita walking behind her with th
A popular Chinese proverb said, the journey of a thousand miles begins with just a step. Rose had started walking those mile since she was born. She had risen and fallen. She had victories and failures. She had highs and lows. There were times she had great faith in herself and other times she would want to give up on herself. Many times she stumbled while walking that path. The path to success which was a really long journey of a thousand miles. Many times she had risen and believed in herself. Many times she believed in herself and did great exploit and she wasn't exactly where she wanted to be yet but she knew it was only a matter of time before she got to her desired destination. What he figured out was that no one had a desired destination but instead you yearn for more. When you think you have gotten it all, your get a new surge of energy. You begin to want more. You want more than you already have. Not because you're greedy but because because you know from your past victories
Roman's knuckles made contact with the hard wooden door. His knuckles stung and he immediately regretted knocking on the door hard. He made to knock again but this time, softly then he heard shuffle from the office. Roman waited for a few seconds hoping the commander would open up his door. When the commander didn't, Roman knocked again. Softly so his knuckles wouldn't suffer from a hard impact on the wooden. The shuffling continued making Roman frown. The police officer had the front desk had told him the commander was seated in his office although he didn't take his calls. And the shuffling coming from the office also confirmed this. Roman decided to go back downstairs to the front desk. Just as Roman turned around to leave, he heard the door knob click. He turned so he was facing the door again. The door was pulled open and commander Eric got before him with disheveled hair that looked like hands had been in them and a swollen lip with red lipstick stains which he had tried to cl
"Why's everywhere so quiet?" Rose asked Magarita as they walked up the little stairs that led to the front porch of the orphanage. The front yard had tables and shelves with wares which were being sold but no one was with those wares and there was no one around who seemed like they were interested in buying any of the items displayed. Well, maybe it was because it was evening already. Rose was freezing. She had on a sweater and on top a long brown coat with jeans and boots but somehow she was still feeling cold. Magarita had given Rose her scarf to rap around her neck but Rose still felt chilled. It was from her being in the hospital without going out for days. Her body had gotten really used to the warm temperature in the hospital. Magarita shrugged. She was holding Rose tightly and helping her with coming up the little stairs. Magarita was trying to be as careful as possible with Rose because the doctor had said she had some broke bone which were till healing so she was limping an
Daniel hand his hands on the steering wheel and his head was also on the steering wheel. His eyes were closed and he had a firm grip on the steering wheel. Daniel's heart was aching. The conversation with Roman had left him kind of breathless. He felt like he was running on a treadmill, or rowing away as if some ghost from thepast was chasing him. There is burning in his lungs as he desperately tried to drawin enough air to sustain functionality. Daniel are tired. His hands were tired and the grip he had on the steering wheel was loosening His muscles were giving out and he just felt his hand slipping away from the steering wheel. Daniel couldn't take the thoughts going on in his mind anymore after listening to his brother. "Are you okay?" Erin raised an eyebrow as she asked. She was itching to know what had happened between the brothers while they were in the mansion. Daniel had left with sullen look on his face and it seemed he looked worse than he had left. While she was out
Christine looks so much like mum." Daniel breathe as he sat on the sofa. He and his brother had just been able to get the twins to sleep after an hour of bonding with them. Daniel was really excited at meeting the kids. They were shy when Roman had introduced them to him as their uncle but soon Daniel was able to get them to open up and the three started to play so much but Roman just had to ruin the fun by announcing that it was past their bed time and they had to get to school tomorrow. Christine, Christopher and Daniel had let out loud groan and they wouldn't stop grumbling. They twins refused to go to bed except their uncle read them a bedtime story and he also came to see them the next day. Daniel was able to tell them bedtime story but he couldn't promise he as going to be here tomorrow. Daniel coming over the next day was solely dependent on how his conversation with Roman went. Daniel had decided to listen to Erin's advice. The only way to put an end to the mystery behind al
"You've got such a fine house." Daniel complimented, looking around the living room. He was in awe of his brother's beautiful house. The interior was top notch and even the exterior was tasteful. Roman's mansion was even more beautiful than their parents house. It had a lot of paintings. Many of which were abstract. Roman had a flare for paintings hile they were kids. He never drew but he loved them and knew a lot of painters and artiste. Daniel wasn't surprised to see so many paintings in his brother's house. "Thank you." Roman murmured as he watched his brother settle on a sofa. Roman was surprised to see Daniel in his house. He wasn't expecting that his brother was going to ever locate his house. First off, he had kept his house address away from him and the other members of his family and also he never thought Daniel would ever want to have anything to do with him fter their encounter at the hospital. Or was he here to pick a fight? If Daniel was here for that then he was certain
Roman looked around his bedroom ensuring that there as nothing missing and very furniture was in good condition. He had gotten most of the furniture in the house replaced. Left to him, he would have wanted them to sell the house and purchase another one so they could get away from the hurt and trauma they went through in the hands of the armed robbers some days ago but the mansion was where the twins had lived for the past two years. He had also asked them if they wanted him to sell off the house but they had refused. The twins loved the mansion and the people who worked there. They workers had grown to be family and they treated them nicely. Roman had no choice but to succumb to Christine and Christopher's decision. The only thing was that he wanted all three of them staying in the same room. Roman didn't feel okay with them in their room. He got panic attacks thinking about it. Since his bed was big enough for all three of them, he had decided Christine and Christopher come stay in
