Venessa's P.O.V
"We have to get married tomorrow, rosa." He said so casually, making me look up to him with my eyes wide open, not finding any words to say.
It's really happening!
"I hate to say this but we have to go for a simple court marriage," he stated, looking sincere.
While I can't help but feel a little bit disappointed, I never thought my marriage would be a court marriage.
"I know you it's nothing like your dream marriage but trust me, we have to. It's not safe but it's only for a matter of time, I promise" he explained, taking my cold numb hand into his large warm one.
I looked at his grey eyes and couldn't help but get drowned into them.
"It's fine, I get it" I replied, smiling at him, trying my best to conceal my disappointment.
Well, I guess things like t
Vincent's P.O.V
Venessa's pov.I woke up the next day early; the sun was barely up and I woke up before even my alarm, but I couldn't help it. Last night, I barely slept thinking about what could happen today sinceI'm getting married! That too with a gangster that I barely know.
Venessa's povThe moment I looked up, I saw Vincent, looking like a Greek god as always. My tensed muscles immediately relaxed the moment he took my hand in his, his grey eyes sparkling and I can't stop staring at them."Come on, Rosa,"he said in hi
Venessa’s P.O.VAs we reached his house, my mouth fell down right to my ankles the moment I stepped out of the car. His house or should I say mansion looks breathtaking. I gaped looking at the sight in front of me, falling in love with it instantly.I heard Vincent chuckling at my side, too amused by my reaction. He came over to my side and closed my mouth that was still hanging open, making me immediately felt embarrassed and felt my cheeks heat."You like it?" He questioned looking at me with pure admiration in his face, or maybe I'm just imagining it?"Are you crazy? I love it" I exclaimed at him, feeling too excited to go inside. Since I was a kid, I used to always dream to live in a gigantic house with my prince in shining armor, where we would fill our enormous house with memories. Just like my parents. Just the mere thought of my parents' love story brings a smile on my face. They were so in love with one another.I looked up to him an

Venessa's P.O.VI woke up by the sun hitting me directly in my eyes, making a groan escaped from my lips as I squinted my eyes together trying to block it when I suddenly heard soft snoring at my right side.I snapped my head toward
Venessa's P.O.VAfter getting introduced to Vincent's parents, Vincent escorted them to the guestroom to get some rest as they might be worn out from the long journey. While I waited patiently at the bottom of the stairs waiting for him as I wanted to ask him a few questions.Spotting me at the bottom of the stairs, he came down and stood in front of me. "Would you be going to work now?" I questioned him, which he hummed in response.“Oh, okay" I answered, realizing he’s probably already getting late and I don’t plan on wasting his time further."Do you want to talk?" He asked, taking my hand in his, making the butterflies in my stomach fly wildly."Yeah, but it's okay, I'll probably just wait for you tonight and we'll talk," I mumbled as I played with my knotted fingers."No! Tell me now, I got time, baby girl." He exclaimed, pulling me closer, but I only pushed his chest away gently as I could feel myself heat
Vincent's P.O.VLast night was the best sleep I had in a very long time, but when I opened my eyes in the morning, an empty and cold bed welcomed me, making me sit up straight, and frantically look around for her.
Venessa's P.O.VOpening my eyes, I laid still in my bed watching the sunrise through the window. 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
Vincent's P.O.VShe hanged up! She did not even f*cking bothered about what I want to say and it pissed me; it made me so angry that I gripped the phone tight as if it can lessen the anger I'm feeling, but it didn't. 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. My hands shook and my heart pounded hard. "Please don't leave me, please don't" were
Venessa's P.O.VReaching Mario's house, I tried my best to flatten my unruly hair. I look like a mess, well; I am a mess. 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 lied, looking away not wanting to get caught.Mario however put his hand on my chin making me look at him, but I don't want to look at him as my heart breaks every
Venessa's P.O.VWearing my diner uniform, I headed downstairs and saw Lynda cooking breakfast. 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. I pulled her into a hug and wipe her tears away.''He's going to be fine, don't worry'', I whispered feeling awful just thinking about Mari
Previously.Please tell me you're not serious." He said above whisper looking right into my soul and I can't help but stare right back, still can't believe that he's still the same Vincent whom I thought loves me unconditionally and who's willing to do everything for me.What if he doesn't really love me and what if he is cheating at me from the very first?.Present.Venessa's P.O.VLooking at the man in front of me, I can't help but feel heartbroken. He looks tired, his eyes bloodshot red, and has bags around them. He held my arms, looking at me helplessly with his shoulders slumped. I want to help him, help him lessen his agony, and help him ease his pain. But what about my pain?"Please don't leave. Let me explain please." He begged but I don't want to listen to him. I don't want to hear hi
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.
Venessa's P.O.V"Tsk, tsk, task." A sound erupted at the door, making my and Andrew's head snap towards it. There stood Leonardo, leaning against the door, clearly enjoying the sight in front of him. Andrew let go of my hair making me sigh in content but my scalp still hurts though.Advancing to
Venessa's P.O.VOpening my eyes, I couldn't help but wince by how my head is throbbing with pain. Sitting up, I look at my surroundings and feel my hands shake and my heart starts to pounder. I'm definitely not at mine and Vincent's room.
