Previously,
I was so caught up with my thoughts when I heard the door creak opened, but I didn't bother to look up as I thought it could be any of my co workers finally coming. But boy, I was so wrong.
Venessa's P.O.V
"Ehi, ecco la mia rosa", (hey, there my little rose) said a deep voice at the door making me shot my head up so fast that I thought I would break my neck.
I didn't quite understand what he said, but I didn't bother much as I was too busy gaping at him.
There he stood at the door, wearing a fine fitted Armani suit. At that moment, my brain completely shut down.
I sat at the chair hypnotized by the Greek god standing in front of me and I would be absolutely lying, if I say that I am not enjoying the sight in front of me.
I stood up from my chair almost stumbling as my legs started to feel like a jelly that is really unstable whenever he's around.
"Umm, can I help you?", I questioned him, careful not to stutter.
Really that's what you got? You're embarrassing yourself, sister. Says my stupid inner Venessa.
He proceeded towards me, and my heartbeat in process started to beat furiously hard, that I can hear it in my ears, and I would not be surprised if he too, can hear it .
He stood in front of me, not too close and not too far.
I lifted my head up to look at his face as he's too tall.
Um no, he's not tall, it's you, you're too short. Says inner Venessa. I swear this girl does not know when to speak and when not to.
Hell, this guy is really handsome, I'll not be surprised if he is a model. His jaw sharp with slight stubble making him look more drool worthy and his grey eyes almost looking black and his lips... snap out of it, Vanessa and focus...
"Is there anything I can help you with?" I questioned again thinking he probably did not hear me the last time.
But instead of answering my question, he did not. He just stood there looking at my face as if he was memorizing every feature of my face.
Heat started to rise up to my cheek as he continued to stare at me deeply.
My head bowed down voluntarily in shyness and to not let him see that he has an effect on me
He lifted my chin up with his thumb and index finger making me look up to him.
My breath hitched as I started to feel myself drowning in those beautiful eyes.
I stepped back creating a distance between us making him frown at me in process." Umm wh... what d...do you want?" I ask stammering no longer able to control it.
"You, my little rose" He answered sounding so calm as if it was quite normal for him to say such things.
Upon hearing what he said, my brows knitted together in confusion.
"Excuse me?", I asked dumbly.
Seriously!?, that's what you got to say after he just confessed that he wants you? Girl you're an idiot!, says inner Venessa.
" You heard me, love", he says in his deep smooth voice. I stared at him in disbelief, this guy's crazy!, I tell myself, not finding any words to say anything.
" You cannot just come here and say that you want me, cause lemme tell you, it won't happen or maybe it will, but in your dreams." I ranted finally finding words to say what I feel.
I expected him to say something or to shout but instead he just looked at me amusingly as if he can't believe what I just said.
Ohh my god, this guy's crazy,
" Yes, I am, crazy for you" he replied. I look up to him and see him slightly smirking.
What the?? Did I just say that aloud?, I find myself asking inner Venessa. I guess you did as he just answered your question, inner Venessa says.
Ohhh my god, I think I'm going crazy. I said to myself waiting to wake up as it all feels like a nightmare for me.
I was so busy with my own thoughts that I didn't even realise that he grabbed my arm, gently but firm and started to drag me with him out of the room. I struggled to keep up with his pace and what happened next is what I never expected to happen.

Venessa's P.O.VHe dragged me out of the changing room and strode towards the front door of the diner.As we reached the parking lot, I noticed that we were walking to the expensive-looking car that I saw earlier in the morning,of course, I should've known, I thought to myself, mentally rolling my eyes.All of a sudden, he stopped walking making me bump at his stone-like back."Ouchh" I whispered rubbing my forehead.He turned to look at me and muttered a small sorry.I glanced up to him seeing his face laced with concern. I didn't know mafia leaders say sorrys." What is it that you really want?," I asked him, slightly annoyed.He sighed, as he rubbed his forehead. "Get in" he stated gesturing towards the car."Excuse me? kindly tell me one good reason, why on e
Vincent's P.O.VA week after my phone call with my little rose, I came to find out from Marco that rose's parents' accident was actually planned, meaning that someone wanted to kill them so they decided to temper the car they used that day in order to kill them without making anyone suspicious, and after a few days of investigating, we found out that the rival mafia in Russia was responsible for it as the Clays owed them a large sum of money which they failed to return and at that time they didn't know that the Clays have a daughter but unfortunately just a few days ago they found out about her and now they're hell-bent on finding who the girl is and as far as I know the Russians mafia, they are ruthless, they rape girls and kill them once they get bored.But I promised myself that I'll die before I let something happen to my little rose. I will do anything in my power to protect her even if it me
Vincent's P.O.VI 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 tho
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? Ask him then, says inner Venessa rolling her eyes at me.Calming my
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,
Vanessa's P.O.VAfter our talk, I lost my appetite. No longer want to eat anything. All I want to do is just go home, curl into a ball, and think about what will happen next. But unfortunately, the handsome creature in front of me kept forcing me to eat my food, he kept on trying to make conversation with me, he just didn't understand that this was too much for me to take in.I need some time to process everything; I feel so overwhelmed. 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
Venessa's povAfter my lunch with Vincent, it feels so strange calling by his name, I'm so used to calling him grey eyed monster. Everything's indeed happening too fast. 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
Venessa's P.O.VI shot up from my bed and looked at my phone to see what time it was and the moment I saw the time, I felt like slapping myself. 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. I felt wide awake
