The Wedding ROSALINE MASSIMO With gentle and steady steps, I walked down the aisle. Every step I took was calculated. The wedding organising had included the aisle walk training. My dress flowed down and with every step, the several yards of dress flowed after me. A sparkly white dress, with red roses splashed all over the flowing part of it. My gaze was fixated on Russo who was standing at the altar, waiting for me. He was staring at me with a loving look on his face and I couldn't stop the smile on my face too even though my smiles could not be seen under the veil I was wearing. In the past, if I ever pictured a wedding, it would be Russo walking me down the aisle to another man but it was the opposite now and I couldn't be happier. The venue had been beautifully decorated to specifically match my taste. A warm golden light lit up the place and the aisle, long and spread with rose flowers. I was holding a bouquet of Juliet roses. I finally got to Russo and he reached a
PIETRO GIACOMETTI I hated the noise. No matter how quiet they tried to be, they could not be quiet enough for me. I didn't just hate the noise, I hated the smiles on their faces and I hated how free they were, running around. If there was anything I wanted to do right now, I wanted to tie them all to a tree and drench them in fuel and watch them shake in fright while I played with a lighter. The children of the workers in our home. My mother was the reason they were here, she was the only one who thought it was a good idea to have a home built for all our workers, where they could live with their family. I shaded the drawing I was making. A drawing of a dying man with his toes chopped off. The inspiration for the drawing? Watching my dad chop toes off a pathetic man last night. "Who are you?" I heard the children ask in one loud voice. I raised my gaze and saw them gathered around a tree. A little girl was sitting under the tree, a drawing book in her hands too. I had never not
ROSALINE"You still don't have a boyfriend. When are you ever going to have one?" Tim, one of my friends shot the question. "Don't get me started about a boyfriend. Don't just get me started on it, Tim" I replied immediately, shooting him a glare which I knew would not stop him from continuing the topic anyways. "C'mon, you are like 24 with almost zero dating experience. What the hell is that?" Tim asked with a small laugh. "I will never understand Rosaline" Melinda shook her head, dropping her glass of wine and then running a hand through her blonde hair. "Y'all let her breathe" Rick cut in. "Don't you... Don't you get sexual urges?" Tim went on anyways. "Just shut up now and focus on your girl" I shot him a more serious glare and that seemed to shut him up as he pressed his lips into a thin line. The answer though was... Yes I did. I did get sexual urges and yes I didn't exactly want to be 24 with zero dating experience but I just could not help it. It had to be this way. I
RUSSO EL MASSIMODo you know what it feels like to have the wrong feelings for the wrong person? What it feels like to feel an undeniable attraction and lust for someone you should just protect and care for?Now, do you know what it feels like to stay five years away from that person to ensure that attraction and lust dies? And then come back and the very first time you lay your eyes on that person, she is naked, her beautiful legs spread wide and a finger of hers buried in her pussy?The first time I would be setting my eyes on Sunshine after five years and she is having an orgasm in front of me. This single sight puts to waste quickly my five years of staying away from her. I could feel all of that attraction and lust rushing back into me. "Sunshine" the word was a groan as I remained at her door. She had finished cumming and her hands scurried for the sheets. "No" I stopped her, my voice gruffer than I intended it to be. Fuck! I didn't even intend to tell her to stop. She had
RUSSO EL MASSIMO "Damn you, Russo" I cursed at myself, a hand to my bathroom wall and a hand to my cock, fisting it and jerking it off with an urgent need to cum. "You fucking bastard" I cursed again, recalling the expression on Rosaline's face when she first saw me at the door. "She is... She's so fucking sexy " I rasped, watching my pre cum seep out of the head of my cock. "So fuckable. So beautiful and so delicious" I groaned. I had tasted her earlier and the taste of her was still on my tongue as I jerked off. "Damnit... Aaargh" I groaned and then gritted my teeth as I reached my peak and came all over my hands. "Sunshine" I grunted her name almost in animalistic pleasure as I came harder than ever. Her little voice calling me daddy when she had her third orgasm was replaying in my head until I finished cumming. "Aah aah" I breathed out heavily, reaching for the shower and turning it back on. Years of self control and yet I had lost it all the moment I saw her body bared
ROSALINE My gaze was still on Russo for saying those words with a tone tone that gave off the opposite vibes when I heard a familiar voice behind me. "Rosa?" It was Rick's voice. I turned my back and saw him behind me. "Rick" I got up on my feet, a bit surprised that he was here so early in the morning. "What are you doing here so early?" I questioned, walking over to him. "I have been calling you but you haven't been picking up my calls. You got me worried sick" he glanced behind me at Russo and then looked at me. "Oh, that's my Uncle, Russo El Massimo. You should recognise him already. C'mon, I'll do the introduction" I grabbed Rick by the wrist and led him to the table. "Russo, this is Rick, my best friend of years now. You have probably seen him once or twice before you left" I introduced. "I don't know him and the only question I have right now is not who he is but how he walked in here" Russo was exuding a dark aura, something he usually suppressed whenever I was there w
ROSALINE Everything that happened yesterday and the day before was all now in the past. I had concluded so after a long deliberation with myself. Russo could not just come back home after five years and disturb how my life was going. He was my uncle and that was all he would ever be. Okay, perhaps also my boss at work. Since Russo was back, the acting CEO would step down and Russo would take over today. I was the new manager of the company and I just might need to work with the CEO a lot but business would definitely be business. And looking back at five years ago, Russo had always been the way he was. I was the only one thinking things too far. He had probably even forgotten about that night. "The car is parked right outside. Go get in." I heard his voice behind me as I picked my suit up. "No, I can go in my own car" I replied. As much as I had cleared everything up in my brain, it would benefit me to stay away from him for a while. "Sunshine, go get in the car" he repeated i
ROSALINE"Heavens" I breathed out as I got into my chair and dropped my head on my table for the next few seconds and then I raised my head."I need to work a bit more" I mumbled to myself, trying to shove away all thoughts in my head. The thoughts of the way his eyes stared at me and the thoughts of the way he called me Caramia.Heavens! I had always liked the way Russo called my name but now, I felt like I was liking it even more than I should.Since it was my first day here, a lot of time had been spent on meeting with the heads of departments and other employees and also trying to get familiar with how things worked.It wasn't too hard for me though. I had known this company since I could count so I knew my way around things quite well and didn't seem too lost.I moved my right hand to the mouse, trying to get myself back into working a bit more efficiently but it didn't seem to be working too well and my phone ringing only a minute later didn't help things.It was an unknown cont

ROSALINE "She's so adorable, isn't she? I had so much fun today. Making her happy made me happy too." I giggled as we walked into our room, Russo's hands on my waist. "Seeing you this happy makes me happy too, fairy godmother" Russo said with a chuckle. I was still dressed in the fairy godmother costume and still had the wand in hand. "Come, come over here" I motioned him to come stand in front of me.His hands slid, changing position until he was in front of me, holding my waist still. The fact that he wasn't letting go of my waist made me feel sweet. "This sweet fairy is going to bless you" "Hmm, and how am I getting blessed?" He asked, a hint of smile on his face. "With a beautiful sprinkle of happiness" I waved the wand all over him. "The wand isn't enough to give me happiness""Really? Then what will make you happy?""The fairy herself" he replied and picked me up from the floor. I laughed softly as he lifted me and didn't let go until he dropped me on the bed and got ab
AUTHOR'S POVRick sat at the diner, phone on the table and a bag by his side. It took only about a minute of waiting before Melinda walked in the diner door. Her eyes looked around for a second before they settled on Rick. She walked over to him and sat opposite him. "Are you okay?" Was her first question. She had a worried expression on her face. "Well, quite so" Rick shrugged his shoulders lightly."You've been distant for the past few days and you don't look too good" Melinda noted out, referring to the bruises on his face and Rick simply pressed his lips into a thin line for the next few seconds. "Should I have remained close, then?" He finally spoke, directing his gaze to her. "Tim is no longer with me. He... He is unwilling to let go of what happened." Melinda sighed softly. "As it should be. You ruined whatever was left of this entire friendship, Melinda." Rick accused. "Don't put the entire blame on me" Melinda shook her head lightly. "Then whom do I put it on? Tim? Fo
ROSALINE I was frozen against the wall, my ears ringing and my heart thumping at the words I had just heard. I knew it. I just knew that it wasn't supposed to be a date only! "You..." I found my voice under his searching eyes. "You were going to ask me to marry you? Not just become your girlfriend officially?" I asked and he pressed up against me, making me feel the hard on from his completely drenched trousers. "I know what I want, Cara. And you also want me, there's no need to take the longer route, is there?"My heart was pounding. He was right. I was never going to let go of him so why in the world should we take the longer route?!"I... Well, you said you wanted to ask me to marry you. Do you still want to ask me to marry you? I mean, is the proposal still valid?" I asked, my words a jumble. My brain was turning into a mush at this point and it wasn't my fault!"You know that proposal is forever valid" he lifted my chin up with a finger. I couldn't take the burst of joy in m
ROSALINE I pulled my blood stained shirt off gently and looked at Russo who was getting rid of the blood soaked shirt he had on. I hadn't let him go back in there to finish up like he had said he wanted to. I had insisted that he come home with me right away because I needed him and I was glad he came home with me. Diane was still asleep and I wanted us both clean from the blood before the little girl would wake up. "Cara" Russo's hands gently touched my waist and I shut my eyes lightly at the feel of his fingers. It made me feel at peace and I didn't hesitate before leaning in to his bare chest and feeling the warm of him. He wrapped his arms around me."Russo" I whispered his name. "Let's take a bath together" I whispered and he took a step back almost instantly. I grumbled the loss of his warmth around me. "No, Cara. You go take a bath first and I'll go in after you or I'll go use another room." He said and my brows furrowed. I turned back to face him, the look of confusion
ROSALINE “Russo, pick up the goddamn call!” I yelled at the phone but again, my call wasn’t picked. There was no doubt that Russo was ignoring my calls. He intended to kill Rick and he didn’t want to be stopped by me. But I needed to stop him. “Get a car” I puffed out, a hand returning to my waist. If Russo had said he was going to be back in an hour, then that meant he was very close by. He definitely had to still be in the estate. In some other building entirely, in one of those buildings that seemed more like ornamental buildings cause no one ever lived in them. “The car” I mumbled as a car pulled over in front of me. I pulled the door open and got into the car, feeling slightly dizzy. I groaned and held my forehead for a second before getting an idea. “Where are we off to ma’am?” The guy in the driver seat asked. “Every notable building in this estate until I find Russo but before you start driving, let’s try something out. You are going to have to do something for me.” I s
NOTE: This chapter contains elements of violence. RUSSO EL MASSIMO “Where is Dark Caster and Rick?” I asked the first question as I walked into the torture chamber. “They are yet to be brought here, boss. However, the men contacted me few minutes ago and they know the precise location of Rick. It is only a matter of time before he is brought in.” Sian explained. “Fasten things up. He has to be dead before the end of today. None of them are going to be alive by the end of today.” I let my gaze travel around the tied down men. I undid the first two buttons of my shirt and rolled my sleeves up. “You and you…” I pointed at two of my men who were standing in the torture chamber. “You are yet to perfect your chopping skills, right? Get to it but pull out each of their teeth first. I want to hear every scream that comes from each tooth being pulled off. Then you sew their mouths close and proceed with the chopping. Learn well from using these lab rats.” “Yes, boss” They chorused in r
ROSALINEI was more than surprised to see that Rick was calling me after the fight we had had the last time. He had made it quite clear that our friendship was totally over. Had he heard about what happened to me somehow and decided to check up on me? If he had heard about it, then the call was definitely valid because the Rick I knew would call to make sure I was okay no matter how huge the fight we are having. Still unsure of the exact purpose of the call, I picked the call and put the phone to my ear. "Rick?" I called his name. "Rosa" he mentioned my name like he was out of breathe. "Are you okay?""No, are you okay?" He shot the question back to me, an indication that he somehow knew what had happened to me last night. "I am fine. How do you know about what happened?" I asked because I was pretty sure that Russo didn't do things for the public to find out. And I hadn't called any of our mutual friends to inform them about this either. "Listen, Rosa. I am very sorry" he ap
