2024-10-29 19:42:56Venessa's P.O.V
He 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 earth will I do that?" I responded to him raising my voice to let him know that I'm not someone he can just order around.
"I need a favour from you, rosa", he uttered, looking directly into my eyes as if he was trying to make me believe that he is not messing around but completely serious.
I stared back at his eyes, completely hypnotized by him.
" Uhhh, wh..what can you possibly want from me?" I found myself asking him.
" It's a long story, get inside the car so that I can explain it properly to you" he replied, opening the passenger door for me.
I looked up to him, hesitating whether or not to trust him.
I mean he's a complete stranger, what if he kills me and cuts my body into pieces?.
Don't be ridiculous sis, you're not that important and what will he get by doing that?, reasoned inner Venessa and for the first time, she's right.
Too caught up with my own thoughts, he suddenly spoke, reminding me that he was still in front of me.
"Don't worry Venessa, I won't kill you. Trust me", he replied with a pleading look in his eyes.
"But how did you know my name, I don't remember telling you?" I mumbled frowning at him but instead of answering my question, he just smirked and gestured towards the car, so I got in.
Once we were both inside, I didn't fail to notice how luxurious the car looks, almost making me feel that I don't belong sitting inside it.
He started the car and soon we were surrounded by an awkward silence.
"Let's get to the point shall we?", I stated, not capable of holding my tongue anymore as curiosity started to eat me up.
" You seem a little impatient, mia rosa" he replied with his lips slightly smiling.
" Why do you keep calling me that? I have a name, you know." I questioned, looking at his side view, fighting really hard not to drool.
" I know, but I want to," he responded, turning to his side to look at me.
After driving for thirty minutes, we stopped at a restaurant. Too fancy for my own liking, I must add, but it's not that I really have a choice.
Stepping inside, everyone in the room started to turn their head to look at us and I would be lying if I say that it's not making me uncomfortable at all. I really hate it when the attention is on me. So, I did what I thought was sensible; I hid behind his back thinking it can save me from the stares and glare that I'm receiving.
Once we got seated, I opened my mouth to ask him again, but he beat me to it. " I think we should order first then we'll talk" he says and starts to look at the menu. At this moment, I was starting to feel like he's intentionally trying to delay our talk as long as he possibly can.
Once we finally ordered, he looked at me intently making me blush harder than I ever did in my whole life. Why does he make me feel like this?, I find myself asking myself, crazy; I know.
As much as I like it when he looks at me like that, I need to know what he wants from me, so I cleared my throat loudly to catch his attention. He looked away and straightened his necktie and said something that almost gave a heart attack.
" Marry me, Venessa."

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.

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

Vincent's P.O.VAfter dropping rose back to the diner, I went back to my office and he moment I entered the door, the two idiots are already there waiting for me with stupid grins on their faces." 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.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

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

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.

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.
