The Great Seducer 20
Rose opened her eyes to the world before her. She had been dreaming a lot in her sleep that she didn't understand what was going on with her anymore. What exactly does this mean? She could remember everything that happened as soon as she opened her eyes. In fact, she could not stop thinking about the incident. How did this even end up happening to her of all things. This is not something she can control or stand. Nicholas shot all those men and he didn't even flinch doing that. Which means she would be a goner the moment he realizes what she is up to. It won't be long before he finds out who she really is. She turned beside her to see Nicholas sitting right beside her. He wasn't looking at her as his head was in his palms like he's thinking about something. She tried sitting up, however she managed to get his attention. He turned to look at her, and her heart skipped. Why does she feel this way for a man like him? Why does her heart race whenever he is near her? His eyes indicated

Nicholas had gotten the information he wanted from the man. Then he shot the man in his two legs and asked his men to take him out of there. Perhaps whoever the boss is would get his message when they see what has happened. Then he decided to go check on Rose in the room. He was thinking about her the whole time. He finally realized something. He liked her. He did not just want her for sex but he wanted her to be his completely. Why would he get mad when she almost got hurt? Why else would he be mad when he sees her talking to other guys? It's because of the way he feels about her. He finally realized that now. On getting to the room, he did not find Rose. He thought that she might be in the changing room or bathroom until he heard nothing and decided to check. She's nowhere in the room which got him in panic. He rushed out of the room where he met James and Edwin coming towards him. Edwin and James saw the way their boss looked upset and the immediately guessed something was wron

Nicholas came into the room to find Rose crying. He stopped at first and watched her with a blank expression. Deep down, he felt sad that she was crying. He thinks it's because of him and he doesn't know what to do. He moved closer to her and bent to her level. "What's wrong? Are you crying because I looked for you and brought you back?" He asked, trying to touch her. She jerked his hand off in anger, "Don't touch me! This is all your fault! Everything is happening because of you! You are getting in the way of my freedom! Just leave me alone!!!" She already yelled those words before she realized the gravity of what she said. She realized she has hurt his feelings. He moved away from her and found himself a seat. He sat on the couch staring at her. He did not show his emotions and how deep the words cut through him like a knife. He thought about it. He hated it. "You can go." He suddenly said, gaining her attention. She stopped crying and turned to him. "What?" "I hate it w

Her body tensed as she imagined what is going on in his head? She didn't actually love him. At least that's what she thinks. She is only doing her best to complete the mission and get out of here. She needs those important files of his as soon as possible, that should be the main goal. Getting him mad is no good for her. She moved closer to him still standing. She couldn't touch him as she doesn't understand what will happen soon. "Why are you doing this? At least tell me what is wrong. I only said I love you and you just stopped." She managed to confront him. Those words made him turn again. The words he hated so much that she ended up spewing out. "Don't say that in front of me again. I told you. I don't want to talk about this. So you should stop right now." He snarled at her. "What problem do you have with love? Everyone falls in love. I don't know if you have a past trauma with it or not but please open up your heart to someone!" She also fired back. Nicholas likes her

Ellen had gotten up early to see Nicholas. She got herself ready and wanted to go out with him like they used to do before. She didn't like the idea that he was with Rose which is why she has been staying away from him for days. She thought he would get tired of Rose soon and dump her, however that did not seem to happen. After dressing up, she decided to go to his villa to see him. She knows he has a meeting today so she was going to wait for him and surprise him. When she got there, she stopped by the bedroom to see if Rose will still be there and didn't find anyone. She found it strange that her things are still around and she is not there. Then she left the bedroom to check the dining area, she still did not find Rose there. Ellen did not think Rose would be in the private living room but somehow, she had a hunch to check there. On getting there, she found Rose searching the room which made her quickly conclude Rose was a spy. “This is my chance to get her out of my

Rose followed Nicholas to the meeting area where all the other people are. Everyone gathered, facing Nicholas. Ellen would not stop giving Rose death glares. Rose returned the favour by two times what she did. It annoyed Ellen to see how bold Rose has become. Nicholas saw the way the two women were glaring at each other so he decided to intervene. He cleared his throat to address everyone. "Everyone, I gathered you here to inform you of the latest development today." He started. "As some of you know, I went to a meeting this morning." Rose decided to listen carefully. Every time, it scares her when he talks about something especially if he is looking at her while saying it. "I went to a meeting with the Italian mafia bosses this morning and guess what I found?... Some of you have been leaking my information to them." Nicholas blurted out. Everyone began to murmur, looking at each other. Rose gasped lowly, is this a coincidence or what? “I don't know about

Nicholas did not understand why she kept silent. He moved closer to her but she kept moving back. Then he saw the reason why. Her eyes are widened, staring at the gun in his hands. He immediately put the gun away. "Why aren't you telling me? I want to know how you are feeling." He demanded. Rose's heart dropped, in relief. "How... How am I doing?" He nodded, "You were passed out since yesterday and we've barely had time to talk. Are you okay now? Tell me how you are feeling." Rose sighed in relief one more time, he didn't catch her yet. He was talking about her health. She decided to play it as she would. "I am better, thanks for asking." She replied him and wanted to walk away. However, he pulled her by the arm and stopped her from leaving. He looked her straight in the eyes like he was searching for something. She didn't understand what was going on with him but his eyes seems to be softer than before. "What do you want? I thought I already told you I
The Great Seducer 27
Rose moved away from him a little. She doesn't understand why he made her heart beat like that. It's scary for her. "Why are you doing this? Aren't you done with joking with me? Just stop it already, you are taking things too serious." She shyly said looking away. Nicholas sighed, "It's my first time after a very long time confessing to a girl. I know it's not easy for you to accept my yet, just don't leave." He pulled her to the bed and made her sit down. It's all confusing for Rose as she saw the sincerity in his eyes. Did he really fall for her? So soon? "You are actually... Serious?" Nicholas held her hand, "I am telling you the truth. I know I didn't want to talk about love. But the moment you wanted to leave, I realized how much you mean to me." Rose shook her head thinking, “Is he the idiot or am I the foolish one for letting this happen? This is to my advantage, why am I so sad?” Rose removed her hand from his, "I... I don't know. You might be doing this out of gui

"You've been quite busy lately."Nicholas nodded, appreciating the small talk. "Yes, there's been a lot going on. But I'm managing."Ellen took a deep breath, trying to muster the courage to bring up the topic she had been avoiding for so long. "Nicholas, you told me that Rose is

In the living room, Nicholas and Kay faced each other, the tension between them palpable. Nicholas was determined to reclaim his place in Rose's life, but Kay wasn't backing down either. He needs to be sure Nicholas is not coming to hurt Rose. "Who are you to Rose?" Nicholas asked, his voice laced with a hint of aggression. "And what do you want with her?"Kay took a deep breath, his eyes meeting Nicholas's with unwavering resolve. "I've been there for her for years," he replied calmly. "I helped her when she needed support, and I stood by her side when she had to run away from everything she knew."Nicholas frowned, not liking the thought of someone else being there for Rose during their time apart. "And that message... the one about why I should forgive her, was that you?" he questioned.Kay nodded. "Yes, that was me," he admitted. "I wanted you to understand her perspective, to give her a chance to explain herself."Nicholas's jaw tightened, feeling like Kay was trying to medd

"I'm glad you came."Rose returned the smile, trying to appear unaffected by the emotions swirling inside her. "Of course, I wanted to talk," she replied, taking a seat on the sofa.Nicholas sat beside her, taking a deep breath before he began to explain the situation with Ellen. "I need to tell you about Ellen," he started, his voice tinged with frustration. "She's not happy about us being together."Rose furrowed her brow, surprised by the revelation. "Why? What did she say?" she asked, genuinely curious about Ellen's objections.Nicholas hesitated for a moment before continuing, "She said you hurt me in the past and that I shouldn't forgive yo

She followed all the information she got from her spies before coming to this city. Ellen walked into the cafe with a practiced smile, trying to appear like any other customer. She approached the counter where Bryan was busy preparing a cup of coffee."Hi there," Ellen greeted warmly. "I heard you have some amazing coffee here. Mind if I try your special blend?"Bryan flashed a friendly smile. "Of course! Our special blend is one of our bestsellers. I'll get that for you right away."As Bryan prepared her coffee, Elle

Restlessness consumed Kay after he received the call from his father, Don Bernardo, about finding Rose. He couldn't shake off the mix of emotions swirling inside him. He knew he had to talk to someone about this, but he wasn't ready to burden Rose with his worries. Rose sat beside him with smile, but she could sense that something was bothering him. "Is everything alright, Kay?" she asked with concern.He hesitated for a moment, trying to hide his inner turmoil. "I'm fine, Rose," he replied, offering her a weak smile. "Just a little tired, that's all."In truth, Kay couldn't bear the thought of his father getting involved with Rose again. He remembered all too well the pain and suffering she had endured in the past, and he couldn't bear to see her hurt again.
