ROSIANNA

It had been four days since Santos went on his trip. I pulled my car into the garage of his family's house. I came to visit his parents because Aunt Mariah had been complaining since yesterday that I didn’t want to visit.

The door opened and Aunt Mariah walked out of the house with a huge smile on her face as she hugged me. “Oh my baby. I was beginning to wonder if you were going to come visit us again,” she said excitedly.

“I'm sorry I took so long, Aunty,” I apologized sincerely. “I've been very busy at the office,” I answered truthfully.

“Nothing to apologize for,” she said with a smile as she led me to the living room of the family house. “Your uncle is sleeping in his room, so it'll be just us, my dear.”

Just us? Oh, hell. What was with me and bad timing, anyway?

“Hey, you don't have to look that way. I won't try to play matchmaker or anything.” She leaned close to whisper mischievously.

I smiled at her good-naturedly, taking in her dressing of the day, and I burst out

    In Moscow, Jason opened the door to allow Marde inside the house that had become his when he wasn’t spending time in a hotel room...or deep inside a woman.“This place is nice, man,” Marde said as he looked around, walking deeper into the house.“Thanks,” Jason answered lazily, walking to the couch to make himself at home. “I know you didn’t just suddenly decide to visit me. What brings you to Moscow, Marde?”His friend shook his short wavy blond hair. “I haven’t been able to sleep so well lately,” he admitted.Jason didn’t even pretend that he didn’t know why. “Because of Rosianna?” he asked.“Not really Rosianna. Because of Santos.” Marde shook his head. “You know San-man as much as I do, Jase. You and I know that he’ll never let it go if he finds out what happened six years ago.”“And he never will, Marde. You are just worrying yourself unnecessarily. You and I know that Rosy will never have the guts to spill the beans. Not with her sex tape right in our hands,” Jason reminded his

    “You must be Mr. Hathaway,” he said as he got up and we shook hands. He gestured for me to take a seat opposite his, and I did just that.“I am, Doctor. I’m glad to make your acquaintance finally. I’ve heard a lot about you.” “I hope I’m able to meet your expectations, Mr. Hathaway,” he said politely, taking his own seat. “Dr. Kapoor told me your situation, but I’d still like to hear everything from your mouth. I take it the patient is not with you.”“No, she’s not,” I admitted. “The truth is, she wasn’t aware of the real reason behind this trip. She has lost hope in ever being cured of her addiction.”The doctor nodded in understanding. “From what I heard, she has a good reason to give up. Tell me everything again, Mr. Hathaway. Describe everything about her addiction explicitly.”In the next thirty minutes that followed, I did just that. I told the doctor everything about Rosy’s addiction. The way it happened. The way it started. What it did to her. Everything.“This is a very crit

    ROSIANNATwo days later, I was attending a luncheon and was out with a few business friends when my cell phone rang. “Excuse me,” I said as I got up from the round table with my ringing phone. I walked out of the vicinity before I stared at the screen. Automatically, a smile came to my face as I saw the caller. I placed the phone on my ear. “Hello, darling.”“Baby. How is your day going?” Santos's deep voice filled my ear.“Fine. Not so hectic. How is your day?” I stared at my feet, noticing how the red polish on my toenails seemed almost faded.“Very good. How do you feel today?” he asked automatically. I couldn't help the smile that crossed my face. It had been seven days since he travelled, and every day he asks the same question. Every day I give him the same answer.“I feel great. Spectacular.” And it wasn’t a lie. I’d not felt so great in a long time. When he told me two days ago that the business was delayed and would keep him a few more days, I panicked. But I quickly conso

    SANTOS“Here is the medicine,” Dr. Mehra said as he opened the box filled with syrup drugs. He reached into the box and picked up a bottle. With his free hand, he picked up an injection then opened it and filled it with the syrup.“This is the best we came up with,” he said with a smile, his eyes still on the injection he raised in the air.As I stared at his hand, I couldn't help the sense of accomplishment. It had been a rough three days and finally, here was the fruit of our labor.I reached into the box and withdrew another bottle, staring at the contents. There was fifty little bottles in the box. Each bottle could only fill a syringe three times.“It still feels like a dream. Finally, she will be cured...” I trailed off, my eyes still on the bottles.The doctor finally dropped both the bottles and the syringes into the box and closed it. “Like I said, Mr. Hathaway, nothing is full proof. We can only hope. But I have 60% certainty about its chance of success. The remaining 40% is

    My hands trembled as I tried to use the ignitor, and at the same time, I tried to talk to myself.“I’ll be fine. There’s no reason to panic, Rosy.” As I spoke, I tried to believe my own words. I almost did, but another contraction started deep in my womb. I cried out from the pain.Mr. Donovan came out of the bar then, his eyes searching. When his eyes found me in the car, trying to start it, he smiled appreciatively and started for me.“Pretty lady, you having car troubles?” he drawled as he got closer.“I-I’m alright.” I was so riled up I was even stuttering. Inhaling deeply, I tried to bring my emotions back under control.He eyed me suspiciously. Then he pulled a card from his pocket and handed it to me. “Here’s my card. Call me anytime.”I was about to pick up the card that landed on my lap and hand it back to him, but he had already turned and started on his way. I picked up the card and threw it into the backseat without much thought. Thankfully, when I started the car again,

    ROSIANNAI hadn't picked up Santos's call because I knew it was a bad idea and I wasn't wrong. Hearing his voice fueled my addiction, making me hotter. Ache worse.I laid there on the bed, sweat all over my body as I hurt badly. My inside quivered so bad I bit my lips hard enough to draw blood. The vibrator hadn't done a thing for me, and after the third use, I threw it across the room in pained frustration. As Santos talked about his evening and how he had his dinner, I trembled uncontrollably on the bed. My hand clamped around my mouth to stern the pained scream I fill building up.I didn't want him to know about it because I couldn't bear for him to worry or to hurt for me. Or worse, he'd force me to honor the promise I made. I couldn't bear it.“Christ!” I cried out against my hand as another painful contraction started inside me. It was so painful I clutched my lower belly, rolled over to bury my lips on the mattress, and then screamed out in raw pain.Santos's voice paused. And

    Fiona Sandass paid off the taxi that drove her to the front door of her boss’s house. She stared at her time and grimaced visibly.It was well past 3 in the afternoon. She was supposed to bring those documents by 1 pm, but she had been running errands for her grandma, who was sick.Fiona adjusted her eyeglasses, clutched the files to her chest, and started for the long lane into the gate of Ma’am Rosy’s place. Her boss was a wonderful person and had never raised her voice at Fiona whenever she was late for work or when she didn’t run her errands right when her mind became occupied and she turned clumsy. Ma’am Rosy would only smile at her in encouragement, and because of that, Fiona always tried to do her best.As she stepped into the gate of her boss, Fiona’s eyes automatically went across the lane to stare at Ma’am Rosy’s neighbor’s house. Her cheeks pinkened when she saw Donald at his property mowing his lane. As he rode the loud mowing machine through the grass, the grasses cut an

    Donald Grey was mowing his lane and whistling happily when the object of his fascination for the past few days ran into his compound, tears brightening her eyes and fear written all over her face.“What is the problem?” he asked, the mowing machine forgotten.“Please, help Ma'am Rosy! Please...!” she cried breathlessly.Rosy? Donald was already running out of his gate even before the thought finished forming and the fear came.“What happened to Rosy?” he asked Fiona as he rushed towards Rosy's house. “I-I don't know. I came over to drop a document and found her lying there on the bed, n-naked and screaming in—”“Holy shit!” He let out some strings of curses as he hurried into Rosy's compound. He didn't need a soothsayer to tell him what was wrong with Rosy.As he opened the door and entered, Donald rushed into the bedroom and saw her in that state he had seen her a couple of times. No matter how many times it had been, he never got used to seeing her like that.“Rosy, baby,” he groan

    I swallowed twice and turned back to face them. I stared at Jason’s parents. Marde’s parents. Kain’s parents.They’d visited so many times during the months, and they’d asked forgiveness many times. The mothers cried often, and the fathers always looked regretful. I’d repeatedly told them the same thing: “It wasn’t their fault what happened. There is nothing to forgive because the sins weren’t theirs. They are not responsible for the actions of their children.”My only happiness as I looked at them was that they have other children apart from the prodigal sons. Jason’s parents still have one daughter who’s married already. Marde has two more siblings, a brother and a sister. Kain’s parents had one other man who was Kain’s younger brother.I smiled at them and took turns hugging them all and thanking them for coming to my wedding ceremony. They all looked relieved, and it made me wonder about the kind of welcome they had expected to receive.I really had no problem with them. Already,

    “R-Rosy?” I focused closely on her face, my chest thumping fast as tears slipped from her closed eyes.Slowly—ever so slowly—her eyes opened.“Rosy! Baby!” I got up and hovered over her. The tears I was trying to control started swimming down right then.“Santos...” she whispered breathily.That voice. That voice that I’ve missed so much! “Oh, Rosy! Thank you, baby. Thank you for coming back to me. Doctor!” I shouted.More tears slipped from her eyes, and she gave me a tiny smile. “My Santos...”“God, I’ve missed you so much! So much! I thought you really left me!”Just then, the door burst open. The doctor and two nurses rushed into the room. The doctor’s face held surprise and a lot of relief as he took in Rosy.The next thirty minutes were the slowest and the happiest of my life. Rosy was back! Rosy was out of the coma!As the doctor herded me out of the room to examine her, I called everybody immediately when I got outside—starting with Rosy’s parents to mine, right down to Donald

    In those two weeks, I had righted the wrong that was done to Rosianna.My adoptive sister.My friend.My fiancé.My woman.It made me feel peace. A peace that would have been complete of Rosy was awake. If Rosy's condition was getting any better.Two months later, I stood in the doctor's office, refusing to sit. I dreaded that I had an idea what he wanted to say to me, and I had a gut feeling that it was not something I wanted to hear.So I folded my arms and stood across the wall, leaning against it. I narrowed my eyes in irritation and watched the older doctor as he swallowed nervously as if contemplating how to go about what he had to say.He began. “I think you should start preparing yourself both mind and body—”“Don't fucking say it, doctor,” I cut in.“—that Rosy might never wake again.” “I told you not to fucking say it!” I roared angrily.The doctor grimaced sadly. “Look, son...”“I'm not your damn son!” I could hardly breathe against the tightening of my chest.Yes, these p

    Santos shoved the newspaper away from his face. “Your apology is in the wrong place, Jason. You should apologize to Rosy, not me. I'm not the woman you brutalized and almost ruined her life!”“What...?”Santos looked him dead in the eyes. “Do you know that for the past six years, she never had control of her body? She became a sex addict and can't stay more than a few days without a man or the damn pain comes back worse! You know the pain, right? The one you just went through!?” “Holy...fuck!” Jason paled, horrified.“Holy fuck is right, you asshole! You ruined her life! She can't even bear a child because of what you did to her! And she's in a coma right now, fighting for her life!” The more Santos talked, his voice raised a notch until he was shouting. Jason cried harder. Santos's pain over Rosy's life escalated.“I-I didn't know! I'm sorry; I didn't know!” Jason's face touched the floor in that kneeling position and he cried.Santos said nothing again. Minutes passed while Jason r

    I spent all night with Jason. Watching him scream. Curse. Plead. Watching his own drug torture him. During some part of the night, I started feeling pity for him, but just as soon as the feeling lit up, Rosy's face in crisis came clear to my mind. The fire of pity quenched as soon as it started.At first, he'd kept screaming for a woman to fuck, thinking I was gonna give him one. That wasn't the way the plan was supposed to work. I told him about the recorders I came with and that he'd make a record of confessing everything he did. The best kind of evidence was a confession that comes straight out of the mouth of the culprit.“Screw you!” he'd shouted those first times, refusing to do it.I expected it. I had nothing else to do, so I just waited him out.As the night lengthened, he went from screaming and cussing, to begging and pleading. His hands were tied behind his back so he couldn't jack off. He fucked thin air repeatedly, but he couldn't get relief. His hips were thrusting up

    SANTOSWhen Jason came out to the sitting room, I counted the seconds he walked closer to me and handed me the memory card that contained the clip.“You can watch it again, man. What Rosy and I did was consensual,” he grumbled as he handed it to me.I barely restrained myself from punching him long enough to take the clip from him. Then I punched him square in the nose...and broke it.“Motherfucker!” he cussed as he palmed his nose and shot away from him.I stared at the small memory card that had ruined Rosy's life. With a grunt, I squeezed hard and broke it in three places.“Fuck! What are you doing, San?” Jason roared.“I'm destroying what you've used to ruin Rosy's life for the past six years,” I stated simply, and I hadn't gotten up from where I sat.“I've got no idea what you're accusing me of,” he bit out, enraged. Damn, but I've never seen a better actor.I stared at him, trying to see that bloke that used to be my fucking friend. All I saw was a monster in human flesh. God, w

    SANTOSI was right about one thing. Staring at Jason was like staring at the devil himself.As I watched him close the door and walk deeper into the house, I didn't hide the disdain in my eyes. I definitely didn't hide the rage I was feeling.“So, what are you doing here, San-man?” he asked as he headed towards the fridge.I gave him credit. He didn’t look scared or ridden with guilt like Marde. A pro criminal. “Oh, but I think you know why I'm here, Jason. Let's cut to the chase, shall we? By the way, you still look as good as ever.”“You don't look so bad yourself.” The bastard was even smiling. “Long time so see.”“Yeah. After you called me on the phone that night several years ago, I guess I lost touch with everything. No man wants to hear that his best friend slept with his woman.”He shook his head at that, even managed to look miserable. “I'm really sorry about everything. I'm also at fault. I should have resisted her allure. It’s just that Rosy has always been a very sexy man.

    The information slammed through me like a moving truck jerking me out of my goddamn mind. This was worse than I thought. “My God. Jason, is a demon.” I glared at Marde. “Jason killed Kain! That bastard killed Kain, and you kept the secret this whole time? You’re a killer, just like him.”He laid there like a cat caught in a web, saying nothing. Although I had anger and resentment for Kain, I felt bad for what Jason did. Kain was the only one of the three that felt remorseful. That wanted to right their wrongs. The only one with a conscience. He didn't deserve to be killed that way.“What happened to the tapes?” I could barely ask through the fog that clouded my throat.“The man was supposed to extract the tapes after the accident, but before he could, Kain's car caught fire. Everything burned to the ground.”I felt lightheaded at that bit of information. “So, there's no tape?” I asked, to make sure of everything.“There's one remaining. A one minute clip video that Jason watches day a

    “Police, arrest that man! You saw the way he came to my house and assaulted me!” Marde whined, wincing in pain.One of the policemen flashed him his badge. “Mardisone Dick, you are under arrest for the kidnapping and raping of Rosianna Bells. For attempted murder also, and for possession of an illegal drug. You are advised to remain silent, for anything you say will be used against you in a court of law.”Marde's eyes widened in panic and horror. “No, no, no! I can't go to jail!” he shrieked.I cut in. “Of course, you can go to jail. You'll be deported back to the States, and You are going to jail. Trust me Mardisone, you'll be getting nothing short of a life sentence and hard labor.” I walked closer to stand in his face. “I'll make sure you and Jason get that sentence even though it's a jail sentence for first-degree murder.”Marde's eyes widened as I spat the furious words at him, and then he started crying and pleading with me.It was all working according to plan. I continued. “I
