The Return of the French Tycoon Chapter 47
She trembled, smelling his pleasant, masculine smell. François had an overwhelming effect on Rosalie, making her feel nervous in her presence. The fact that he was so confident and self-assured could have something to do with it. The man seemed to desire her intensely, but when the woman looked into her eyes, there seemed to be something deeper and more complex behind her advances. Rosalie retreated, separating them both from that fiery closeness. The woman looked up to aim at those green eyes, determined to put an end to it. Even if I had given in that day by kissing him... I knew I wasn’t ready to stop being Duncan’s wife. It didn’t matter if he was dead. She opened her mouth, but before she could speak the words, he interrupted her: " Don’t say anything. I know what you’ll say, and I ask you not to." She blinked, unable to understand it, he was trying to silence her so he wouldn’t dismiss him? " I know you’re afraid of what you feel. I can’t just say not to, you don’t kn

Everyone in the lobby watched the woman, who was not intimidated by the looks or even the cameras. Rosalie knew that was her intention, to put her through that embarrassment, to punish her daughter for not giving up her money. Rosalie felt a knot form in her throat, every step she took toward the woman who was her mother. When Agrippina saw her approaching she turned immediately to her, her frown was visible. Your brother was at your side, and Rosalie knew that plan was his. " Finally! The great CEO of the Empire group is here. See how I’m dressed, touch my face and see how sweaty and sick I am. That’s what you get after caring for a daughter all your life. After dedicating my best years to a daughter, that’s what I get! " Agrippina exclaimed. Rosalie looked into the woman’s eyes, and without a word, nodded to the security guards waiting for her orders. She turned her back and just listened as her mother and brother were dragged out of the building. Rosalie knew that would be

They didn’t stay more than one night at the hotel. Duncan returned to his apartment and Rosalie to the manor. He felt a knot forming in his chest, but could not let those feelings shake him. The man took his place as the leader of the mafia, even though many of the criminals had been arrested and their illegal business had been discovered. He managed to get rid of those who still had some loyalty to their former boss. After a lengthy investigation, Duncan learned more about the kidnapping attempt. Duncan got a confession from the men who tried to kidnap Rosalie. They had been paid by someone from the Empire to kill her. It wasn’t a kidnapping like he imagined...

Rosalie clearly witnessed the inevitable unfolding of that situation. The kiss hovered in the air, as if it were destined to happen, and his heart began to beat wildly in his chest. A gasp escaped his lips, revealing his perplexity at what was about to unfold. As much as he tried to understand his own motivations, everything seemed to escape his grasp. The sight of the man leaning toward her made her shudder, not because she didn’t want that kiss, but because she desperately wanted it, and it terrified her. Without thinking twice, Rosalie raised her trembling hand and struck an audible slap against François' face. The sound of the impact reverberated in the air, plunging them into a sepulchral silence. The bright red on the side of the man’s face was visible evidence of the impulsive act he had just committed. She waited, tense, for the protest she hoped to receive in response. Uncertainty hovered in the air, as he did not know François well enough to predict his reactions, e

Rosalie cast a piercing look into the eyes of her relatives, diving deep into their souls. The atmosphere of the party seemed to focus around her, as if everyone present were curious about her next moves. Her brown eyes fixed on the security guards positioned at a distance, and with a simple glance, she conveyed her silent determination for them to act. However, when the security guards found his gaze, a surprising absence of submission was reflected in his own eyes. It was clear that there was something else at stake. The men looked away and, as if they were following a pre-established script, directed their attention to Louie, who watched the whole situation with a satisfied smile. It was then that a thought crossed Rosalie’s mind: "So he bribed the security guards not to help me". Agrippina, relentless in her offenses, continued to inflict cruel insults, turning Rosalie into a target of ridicule before those present. Her own mother and brother, in an act of painful betrayal,

Rosalie watched the seconds creep before her eyes, witnessing the world around her slow down as if in slow motion. What she saw was the imposing figure of her brother, with clenched fists advancing towards her. In an instant, she found herself transported back to her terrible childhood, when she suffered at the hands of her older brother and was neglected by her mother. For a brief moment, the feeling of powerlessness reignited. She was no longer the respected and courageous CEO, nor the devoted mother of two. She had again become just a frightened little girl, helpless in the face of her brother’s fury. However, in the blink of an eye, something happened. An accelerated heartbeat brought with it the appearance of an imposing figure, wrapped in a black overcoat. His robust bearing projected an aura of mystery and determination.

Rosalie walked the busy streets of the city, immersed in her thoughts, as hurried people passed by. The noise of the cars filled the air, merging with the icy wind that touched his face. She repeatedly wondered why François was so intent on protecting her. "Maybe he was in love with me?" Amid the frenzy of urban life, Rosalie felt guilty for harboring feelings for François. After all, Duncan had been his great love, and the pain of his loss still echoed in his heart. It was hard for her to accept that her heart could belong to someone else, especially someone Duncan seemed to like. As doubt and confusion haunted her, Rosalie suddenly heard a familiar voice cutting the noise around her. It was the voice of François, who had followed her there. Her heart leapt into her chest, and she turned to find him standing before her. In her eyes, Rosalie saw a mixture of determination and concern. It was as if François was willing to face the whole world to protect it, to keep it safe. That

Rosalie was dragged with brutality to a room that looked more like a prison, where a constant coming and going of women came and went, as if they were participating in a sinister ritual. The environment, although spacious, conveyed a sense of oppression. The light walls, although beautiful, seemed to close on it, making the space even more claustrophobic. In the center of the room, a majestic canopy bed dominated the scene, and a large, luxurious mirror, reflecting the agony in Rosalie’s eyes, adorned one of the walls.In the corner of the room, strategically positioned as a sinister trophy, was a long wedding dress, a masterpiece of pure silk.

The sense of helplessness consumed her, and she wondered what Victor planned for her destiny.Louie, the dark accomplice who had dragged her into this nightmare, held her by the arm, a continual reminder of the violence hanging over her.
