2024-10-29 19:42:56Vincent's P.O.V
I stood up from my chair, ready to follow her, too excited to be near her.
" You must remember your promise, Vince" Mario reminded me, looking at me which I nodded my head to him in response and proceeded to finally meet rose.
As I strode towards the changing room, my heart started to beat hard against my ribcage, which is actually so surprising as it has never happened before.
Never in my life, I felt nervous just because of a girl. So, there's one thing for sure, that rose is changing me.
Pulling the door opened, the first thing that greeted my eyes was rose sitting at the corner of the room with her head in her arms, she looks fragile and innocent which makes me want to protect her from every danger, but despite of the door creaking she didn't even bother to look up to see who's now with her in the room, it seems like she's too caught up with her own thoughts.
Finally looking up, she saw me at the door, and as soon as I saw those hazel eyes of her, I felt myself getting drawn into them.
I walked up to her and took my time drinking in her beauty, still finding it surreal that there will come a day that I will feel like this towards a girl.
Too occupied looking at the beauty in front of me, she suddenly looked down, probably feeling embarrassed, which made me frown, my queen should never feel embarrassed by her own beauty, I said to myself.
Lifting her chin up so that I can look at her face more properly when she suddenly stepped back creating a distance between us which started to piss me.
"Wh..what do you w..want?" She questioned, slightly stammering.
What the hell... she's scared, and I didn't even do anything yet. I wonder to myself.
Having no control over my mouth, "You, I want you rose," I let out, like a complete idiot.
Good job, Vince you just scared her further, and you're wondering why she fears you when you didn't even do anything, can't you freaking see? No normal person would come out of the blue and say that they want a complete stranger to be their wife. My inner self remarked.
"Excuse me?" She spoke seconds after digesting my words.
"You can't just come here and say that you want me, cause lemme tell you, it won't happen or maybe it will happen but in your dreams." She blurted out, making my eyes widened and my eyebrow to rise.
It looks like little rose didn't like to be controlled. I thought to myself, amused at her outburst.
A sigh escaped from my lips. As for the first time, Vincent De Costello was failing to think of what to do.
Making my mind up, I grabbed her arm gently and strode out of the room, not caring anymore. I have to be quick; I said to myself as she followed me out of the room towards the parking lot.
Reaching my car, I halted, causing her to bump at my back hard.
"Ouch" she muttered in her little voice, making me turn to look at her to see her rubbing her forehead.
I quickly apologized, clearly feeling guilty, and she quickly replied saying it's fine.
"Get in," I ordered to her, which she of course refused, as I expected it. So after a while, I finally made her agree and went to one of my restaurants.
Reaching the restaurant, while we went inside to discuss what I want from her, and I didn't fail to notice how she was feeling uncomfortable the entire time.
After ordering our food, she wasted no time to inquire what I want from her and I, of course, went directly to the point as I no longer can wait for her to be my wife.
Upon hearing my words, her eyes went wide as if she couldn't believe what I just said.
This will be a long talk, I mumbled to myself, mentally, and preparing myself.
Now it's time to lie to her and as much as I wanted our relationship to be built on honesty, there's nothing that I can do, my hands are both tied up and if I really want her to be safe and alive, I have to take the risk even if it means her hating me at the end.

Please let me know what you think of the story...Until then...
If you were given a superpower what would it be? For me, I would like to have a power to take or vanish people's sadness or grief.
What would you want your superpower to be? Let me know♥

Venessa's pov"Marry me, Venessa" Upon hearing his word, I felt like someone just threw a bucket of chilly water on me. My lips were like glued together preventing me from speaking.I was speechless, how can he expect me to marry him, I mean he's a complete stranger and on top of that, he is a mafia leader."What did you just say?" I questioned him, thinking that my ears probably have deceived me."You heard what I said, love unless you have a hearing problem" he replied looking and sounding very calm and collected, which I must add.While I, on the other hand, is freaking the hell out.He just asked you to marry him, girl you're lucky, says inner Venessa, but that's not the point, why me?

Vincent's P.O.VThe moment that I told Rose to marry me, she looked at me as if I had grown two heads, and for that, I can't blame her.Anyone at her place right now had probably slapped me already, but she didn't, which I'm actually grateful for."What did you just say?" She questioned, looking slightly pale as she has just seen a ghost.Shit, I knew this was a terrible idea, but that stupid Alex kept saying last night that this plan will work..."You heard me, love, unless you have a hearing problem" I replied cockily, feeling so terrible for talking to her like a douche bag, but I have got no choice. I got to act tough."But why me?? There's a lot of girls out there who would die to marry you. Why do you want me?" She questioned once again, looking completely confused and flabbergasted.I know there's a lot of girls but it's you,

But I can change now nothing, I already gave him my word that I would marry him. I can't just take my word back, it would be too selfish of me.Finally, realizing that it's useless to cry over the spilled milk, I tried my best to respond to him and to give him back the same energy, and from our conversation, I came to find out he's half Italian and half American, I should've known at the first place, I mean he keeps talking in Italian whenever someone calls him, not that I'm complaining but I wish I c

I can't believe that I'm getting married in a few days as Vincent said the sooner the better, and of course I couldn't say no.While we were in the car driving back to the diner, Vincent said that from today, he would come every morning to my apartment to drive me to the diner and after my shift he would drive me back.I tried so hard to persuade him that it was not needed but he won't just agree, he's hella stubborn. But on the brighter side it also means that I would be seeing him more often.Sis, you'll be getting married to him, you'll see him more than often. Says inner Venessa, that girl keeps rubbing it to my face that I'm getting married, and as much I want to forget it for some time, I jus

I only had 15 minutes to get ready.Who told you to stay up so late, now look you're late. I told myself mentally with a great urge to pull my hair in frustration.A groan escaped from my lips as I felt like skipping work today as I'm dead ass sure that I would never make it at time but then I remember Andrew, I have to tell him about me and Vincent.Just as I was about to enter the bathroom to get ready, the sound of the doorbell ringing made me stop on my track.Who could it be? It's still so early. I paddled out of my bedroom to open the door, taking my sweet time as I was still a bit sleepy.Pulling the door opened, my eyes widened, now gone the sleepiness.

What did she say?" ," Did she agree?" Ask Marco and Alex at the same time, and by the smile on my face, I'm sure enough that they already got their answers."Better start the preparations and do you have any news about the Russians?" I questioned both of them, mentally embracing myself."All that I can say is that we better be hurrying, it's just a matter of time before they get to know about her '' replied Marco with a serious expression on his face.I nodded my head at him, agreeing with what he said."Vince, I suggest you that once you marry her, you must hide her, what I mean to say is that I think we should get back to Italy and sta

Venessa's P.O.VThe moment I entered the diner, I was welcomed by the stares and glares from every customer and staff especially the girls.To add, they weren't even bothering to lower their voices as they talked shamelessly about me." What a gold digger", " Just look at her!, she doesn't even look that good" and so on.I stared down at my shoes, feeling ashamed and heartbroken, as memories during my high school started to hit me with full force.I felt the tears gathering at the corner of my eyes, ready to fall anytime soon but, sadly this time mama won't be here to wipe them away.I glanced up at Mario and it seems like he's the only person here in the diner that doesn't hate or disgusted by my existence at the moment.He stood there at the cashier smiling at me like a father encouraging her daughter to carry on the re

She has no idea that I would be coming.It's basically her break time, which means she would have some time to spend with me.Entering the elevator, I couldn't keep the excitement roaring inside me, making me feel giddy like a teenager.Exiting the building, I strode directly to my car wasting no time to drive to the diner.Upon my arrival at the diner, as always and as usual everyone fell silent and stared at me with widened eyes as if they couldn't believe that it was actually me.What is exactly wrong with these people? "Where is she?" I inquired Mario who's standing at the cashier going through the computer in front of him."I gave her a day off today" he answered to me, knowing too well whom I was talking abo

My thoughts drifted back with my conversation with Vincent, I thought he would call back but unfortunately; he didn't. I don't exactly know what I want, but I wanted him to call back and force me to talk about what's bothering me.Dragging my body towards the bathroom, I looked at myself at the mirror tracing the bruises I got from Andrew and Leonardo, they're slowly fading away and it is not as dark as it was before but it was still visible, if you would look closely enough.After taking a quick shower, I got dressed and headed downstairs as quietly as I can, since Lynda and Mario are still sleeping. It's still pretty early but I have to go early as I'm opening the diner and also because I can't even go to sleep no matter how hard I tried.Putting on my coat, I head outside and suddenly get slapped by the c

I want to kill someone.Standing up, I threw the phone across the wall, feeling the beast inside me waking up. A growl escaped from my mouth as I looked around the room frantically for that piece of f*cking papers. What the f*ck is this shit about?.Advancing towards the corner of the room where the broken bedside table sat, a white folded paper that laid at the floor caught my attention. I bent and picked it up with my hands slightly trembling. I just hope it's not a divorce paper.Unfolding the creased papers, my eyes hastily scanned the entire paper and as once I did, relief flooded inside me but at the same time, I can't help but feel curious about what on hell i

Vincent's P.O.VThese last few days have been chaotic. There's something going wrong with the shipping and someone's leaking information. I'm going crazy, I can't even sleep properly, and on top of that mi rosa left me because of my stupidness.I can't get her face out of my head how she looked when she saw me kissing the maid. I feel ashamed of my own actions. I don't know what came over me for doing what I did.I was too pressurized with work and I remember drinking to ease myself a little, but that maid suddenly came inside, sat at my lap, and started to unbutton my shirt. She started kissing me and just about I was to push her, Venessa saw us.She looked heartbroken and her eyes glistened with tears, she so looked betrayed.And when I followed her to the room, I saw her packing.

But I don't want Mario and Lynda to worry about me.Pulling the door open, they immediately fill my ears with Mario's laughter. I walked inside and saw that he and Lynda are sitting at the coach conversing with each other animatedly while I stood by the door not wanting to be seen as I can't help but admire both of them and their love for each other.Lynda spotted me and dragged me to sit with them. Which I couldn't deny."Did you have your dinner, my Rosa?"Mario questioned, caressing my hand that is holding his fragile one."Yes, I did. Did you have yours?"

I approached her and greeted her with a good morning and with a smile on my face."Good morning sweetie, did you sleep well?" She questioned, looking at my pale face and dark circles, making me feel conscious as I didn't even bother to cover them up."Yeah, I slept well. Thank you for asking. Where's Mario by the way." I replied trying to make her stop questions, not that I want to share it with her, it's just I don't want to talk about it right now as I don't want to ruin my mood furthermore."He's still in bed. I'm really worried about him" Lynda replied, sadness lacing in her voice and a tear fell from her eyes.

Venessa's POV.Driving back home, my little brain still couldn't register what was happening. Everything's happening too fast. First I met up with Andrew, got myself kidnapped and beaten up and now I'm being dropped off to my home, which is really considerate of them. They could have left me all alone on the streets in the dark but they didn't.Too caught up with my own thoughts, I didn't realise that Andrew was talking to me until he placed his hand on top of mine making me quickly pull my hand away, making him chuckle." would be careful if I were you, Venessa" he laughed but I paid no heed to him. "But anyways, feel free to come to me though, if Vincent gets tired of you". He added making my head snap towards his direction."In your dreams, Andrew. I'd rather die than come to you again. You're the biggest snake, I have ever seen." I spat gripping the papers in my hand so tight.
