The Tale Of Roman's Obsession CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT: Who The Hell Are You?
TWO YEARS LATER ROMAN“Speak.” The cold aloof voice says to the person on the other end of the line. “B..os…s, something st…ran..ge happe..ned.” The person responds, stammering out of fear. Roman picks up his cell phone and disconnects it from the speakers in the meeting room. The senior staff in the meeting room look between themselves, finding this action of their boss very strange. This was the same boss who would rather they stay in a meeting for six straight hours than give them a break to work on their proposals. He never takes calls during meetings and has sacked a staff whose phone rang during a meeting. Roman calmly places the phone on his ear, waiting patiently for the person on the other end of the line to speak. “Boss, sh…e's aw…a..ke.” The voice says after a moment of silence. “How is that possible?” Roman says in a very calm voice, the only thing betraying his nervousness being his fastened breathing. “I d…o..n't know, sir. I think she has healed completely.” Th
The Tale Of Roman's Obsession CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE: Fake Police Call.
I bury my face in my hands, wondering what kind of person I was for the last two years before my accident. “How did I get tangled up with that sexy annoying hulk of a man?” I ask Ashley in an exaggerated tone. “I don't know, maybe when you get your memories back, you will know why.” Ashley says vaguely. “Why won't you tell me all that happened, everybody is just going round and round in circles, tell me what I've forgotten.” I say to Ashley in a firm tone I hope will make her cave. “And I keep telling you, the doctor said it's not safe to tell you. He said it's better if you remember it all by yourself.” Ashley says once more in a tone that grates on my nerves. Just before I respond, Kate barges into the room, making her presence known with her usual screeching voice. “Oh my God, Aella. They refused to let me come see you. Oh, my poor baby girl, you look so malnourished. Don't worry, Mother's gonna nurse you back to health. I have this set of pills that have been said to fatten e
The Tale Of Roman's Obsession CHAPTER THIRTY: Compensation For All Your Stress.
I sip my coffee slowly, not showing my nervousness at the presence of this imposing figure sitting across from me. I'm proud of myself for ignoring him until he gives me a little knowing smirk which grates on my nerves.“What's so funny?” I ask angrily. “You.” Roman says, giving his usual one-word reply. “Really? How so?” I ask in a saccharine sweet tone, which betrays my anger and distaste. “We've been here before. And no, I'm not referring to the diner.” Roman responds calmly either blatantly ignoring my tone or not understanding the underlying sarcasm in it. His response has me taken aback. If I knew he would be so willing to talk about our past, I wouldn't have blatantly ignored him these last few days. “And who broke first?” I ask him, taking a sip from my cup, not wanting him to know I was too interested in his willingness to divulge any information. I was kinda desperate to remember. Ashley told me that those last two years were probably the worst years of my life and I'm
The Tale Of Roman's Obsession CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE: Plan To Disgust.
I pace around my tiny apartment, waiting for the other shoe to drop, glancing occasionally at my phone to see if I've been contacted. When I told Ashley the whole ordeal, she told me she had to end the call to start planning for my burial and even went as far as asking me who and who I wanted to be at the burial. When my phone screen lights up, I run towards it, only to find out it's just my dad calling. “Hello, father.” I say in a cold tone once I pick up the call. In my dictionary, those two words could be taken to mean ‘Why the hell are you calling me?’ ‘how much do you need from me?’ “Aella, your tantrums have gone on for far too long. It's time to come home.” My Father says in a stern tone. I breathe in heavily, not knowing how to express to this narcissistic person that I do not intend to come back home any time soon. “I'm not coming back home, father. I have an apartment and a job, and I'm doing just okay.” I say to him with a tight strained smile I hope he can sense from
The Tale Of Roman's Obsession CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO: Perfect Gentleman.
Roman places a plate of diced chicken in front of me. I ignore it just like I had ignored every other food he had placed in front of me. I push my rice around the plate, not in the least bit concerned that Roman had told me ‘to stop sulking’. Well, fuck him. If he didn't want me to sulk, then he shouldn't go around terrorizing people around me. “I didn't kill him.” Roman says in a solemn tone that catches me by surprise. I glare at him, gripping my fork tightly in a fist. In the short period we've been here, I've considered stabbing him with this fork more than a thousand times. “It's nice to know you still have a working moral compass.” “Anything for you, Princess.” Roman says with a smirk probably happy that he was able to get a rise out of me. “I was being sarcastic.” I say to him not concerned that I was falling directly into his trap. “How is your job going at the bookshop?” Roman asks in between bites. “It's going extremely well, considering I don't have to see you there a
The Tale Of Roman's Obsession CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE: Recalled Engagement.
WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS EXPLICITLY DESCRIBED SEXUAL ACTIVITIES. PLEASE, DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY SUCH.“What are you going to do?” I ask Roman in a very small voice. “Come here, princess.” Roman says holding his hand out to me. I look from his hand back to his face and back again, moving robotically towards him. When I'm alone in my apartment later, I will dissect my actions and come up with plausible reasons why in this moment rather than moving away from him I'm moving towards him. The drive down here had been filled with thick silence. I hadn't dared to say a word to him due to my fear and nervousness. When he took a wrong turn away from my apartment, I told him so but he barely responded with a ‘I'm not taking you home.’ Roman pulls me across the threshold of his very amazing lounge area and into a very spacious bedroom. “Take off your clothes.” Roman says in a very calm tone. I hold on to the frilly dress, very grateful for all the extra unnecessary fab
The Tale Of Roman's Obsession CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR: Unexpected Visitor.
“Be good, princess.” Roman says to me before leaning over the centre console to plant a kiss on my cheek. I do not wait for any orders as I quickly step out of the car and run up the stairs leading to the dilapidated building I called an apartment. I turn back for a second, finding Roman's car parked in the exact same spot. After we had showered, he got a call from his secretary, apparently something serious went down at the company and he had to leave the state as soon as possible. He had told me he would be away for a few days and I had never been happier. He looked at me like he expected me to be sad or something. Heck, he could go away forever and I wouldn't feel a thing. Well…… maybe I would but just a little. I rush up the stairs leading to my apartment, with my mind on how I'm going to dissuade Roman from his intentions of ensuring we get married. I take out a spare key I usually keep under the welcome rug just in front of my door and I use it to open my door. Ashley star
The Tale Of Roman's Obsession CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE: Time Is Up, Princess.
“What are you talking about, I'm not owing you any money at all.” I say to Roman trying to think of a time when I had needed money from him. Could it have been those two years I can't seem to remember anything about? One of Roman's goons at his indication steps forward and hands me a brown-colored file. I stare at the file in his hands for some time before finally taking it from him. “You might want to sit down for that.” Roman says in a mocking tone. I glare at him before sitting down on the single chair closest to me. I flip open the file and read the heading which says, “Accrued Medical bills.” I frown as I read the figures which must be obviously exaggerated. Just for an upgrade in room costs fifteen thousand dollars per week. The drugs and everything including the extremely comfortable bed as well as the extra services of the nurses and doctor cost more than half a million. I feel my eyes fill with tears and I feel lightheaded at the same time. How the hell am I going to pa
