Rosa… I feel someone shaking me lightly and when I opened my eyes, I looked into a pair of blue eyes. I sat up and looked around the room. Oh, yes, I was in Paris with Ashton. “I already ordered breakfast; you can come through to eat. We have a busy day today,” he told me but his eyes weren't look
Rosa… We got back to the hotel after lunch when Ashton told me to take a rest before the event tonight. “You are going to need all the rest you can get.” I wanted to tell him I know how these events work and how exhausting they can be but decided against it. I made my way to the bedroom and climbe
Rosa…I felt relieved when I saw Ashton standing next to me. Ashton wrapped his arms around me and gave me a kiss on my mouth, then he handed me my drink.“If you will excuse us,” Ashton says, glaring at the man.“I don't want you near that man again,” he says as we walk away.“You don't have to wor
Ashton…I wanted to kiss her back on the dance floor, but I knew I couldn't. I didn't want her to be labeled a gold digger or anything. I knew how the paparazzi can overreact. When I saw Zack talking to her, I wanted to rip his eyes out. I wanted to tell him that she was mine and that he should stay
Rosa…The day we spent in Paris was unforgettable. I had the chance to see the Eiffel Tower, and it felt like a dream come true. Ashton took me to the Vercailes Palace and gardens. It felt like I had stepped into a fairy world and didn't want to leave. We went on a food tour and even had a wine tast
Rosa…The next few days went by fast and Ashton was still cold towards me. I came in early today and made everyone coffee. I took Ashton’s coffee to his office and sat it down in front of him.“Thank you,” he said softly.“Pleasure.” I walk back to our office and think about him. He was still cold t
Ashton…I paced the livingroom up and down, wondering if I should call her. I needed to apologize to her for my behavior. I wanted to slap myself this morning when I snapped at her. I could tell she was on the verge of tears and it was all my fault. “Fuck, what have I done!” I groaned.“Son, what i
Ashton…I close my eyes and smile. “Her name is Rosa Ettore. Mom, she is the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. She has bright red hair. Her eyes look like exquisite, priceless emeralds. She is hardworking, and the way she laughs will brighten anyone's day. I love the little thing she do
Bella…I woke up with arms draped around my waist when I turned around to see who it was. Ace was holding me. I let out a yawn and stretched my arms. It felt strange that I was sleeping with my husband, the man I met two years ago. I groaned as I shook Ace’s arms off me and sat upright. I rubbed my
Bella…I woke up with arms draped around my waist when I turned around to see who it was. Ace was holding me. I let out a yawn and stretched my arms. It felt strange that I was sleeping with my husband, the man I met two years ago. I groaned as I shook Ace’s arms off me and sat upright. I rubbed my
Richard…The day Ace told me he was getting married, I wanted to laugh. I could never have imagined the big bad mafia boss would actually agree to get married. We didn't know who the girl was or how she looked because his parents were very secretive. The day we met Bella, it felt like we had met her
Valentina…We were heading back to America for the big event Raffael was holding. We didn’t always go to his events since we knew what happened at those events, the asshole host. I was surprised to hear Bella say we were going. Maybe it’s because Ace said it was time for him to go back home. He was
Bella…After a week of being sick, I finally felt better. It turns out I had been poisoned, but the question is, who would have done it? The blood test came back a few hours after the doctor came to check on me. It turns out there were organoposphates in my blood. I had to drink medicine and had an
Unknown POV“What the fuck did you just say?” I yelled as I threw a bottle against the wall. I was fucking angry! How dare she get married to that piece of shit! “I said Bella," and before he could finish his sentence, I put a bullet in his head.“I fucking heard you the first time, asshole!” I kic
Ace…“What do you have for me?” I asked Richard as we pulled away.“I found out that Raffael is working with the Russian drug lord, Igor Volkov. He has a club not too far away. Raffael gets him the girls, and Igor gives him drugs in return.” Interesting. I know Igor Volkov. Time to visit him.An ho
Ace…I woke up feeling refreshed. I haven't slept this well in a long time. I always wake up with the same dream. A girl who haunts my dream. I can’t see her face but she helped me with something. I always forget when I wake up. I groaned sitting up and took my phone from the stand. It was past nine
“And you?” She took a sip of her drink and placed the glass on the table. “A friend.” I nodded at her answer. I need to find everything on him. I have to protect Bella. Raffael wasn't a good man. In fact, he loves torturing women. I won't let him anywhere near my wife. Raffael returned with champag
