The Great Seducer 22
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

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

Some days later, things between Rose and Nicholas are going well. She's been going to training and the one training her is Nicholas. Since he is not willing to let another man touch her, he decided to do it himself. He found himself liking her more every passing day. "That's all for today. You should get changed and come home with me." Nicholas suggested after the end of a training session. She scoffed, "You just love showing off to everyone, don't you? Thanks to you, the girls here think I am getting special treatment because I share your bed." His eyes widened, "What? Who said that? Tell me their names right now!" She laughed, "Look at you getting worked up when I am the one getting insulted. It's okay, I've heard worse things than this before. It's not the first time." This made Nicholas feel somehow bad for her. Maybe his love for her is getting stronger every day. She was able to break the walls he built for years with so much ease. "I know what to do
The Great Seducer 29
"What's going on?" Nicholas who is confused by her sudden fear asked her. He tried to get the phone from her and she didn't give him. She quickly deleted it and put it back on the table. "What was that? What scared you like that?" He asked her. "It's nothing important. I just had a jumpscare because of a spam message. I deleted it." She stated. However, that was not enough to convince Nicholas as he is a very smart man. He didn't take his eyes off her and saw how she was still trembling. "Are you sure you don't want to tell me about it? Is someone threatening you?" He asked her again. She realized that she needs to do more than shaking like that to stop him from investigating further. "I am fine. Stop worrying already. It was just a moment of fear, I am fine now." She assured him. He nodded, "If you say so then. You should eat up so you can rest. You already look pale in just a few minutes." Rose smiled, "You exaggerating. You shouldn't

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

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
