21. Lost Puppy

Roseline's POVHe applied a break with my scream and the car came to a halt just a hair's distance from the tree.For a moment, I thought that we were actually going to lose our lives.Everything happened so quickly that time seemed to stand still as we sat there, stunned and unable to fully grasp the reality of what had just occurred. The weight of the situation began to sink in, and it took me a moment to collect my thoughts and understand just how narrowly we had escaped danger. My heart raced, pounding fiercely in my chest, its beats reverberating loudly in my ears, making it challenging to process the enormity of the situation.When my nerves calmed down and my breathing became normal, I stepped out of the car in anger and fear. He followed me, walked around the car and we were now standing face-to-face. I am sure he took a turn to make sure that his car hadn't gotten a scratch. He wouldn't have cared if I died."Now I understand why you take the driver everywhere. You can't even

22. Shopping with the Devil

Roseline's POVOur journey soon came to an end and he applied the break in front of one of the biggest malls in our city. I always wanted to visit here but I could never get the time."Come out; we are running out of time." I heard Vincenzo's voice, who was waiting for me to step out of the car instead of admiring the beauty of the building standing in front of me.I came out and looked around.'It doesn't look like a parking area,' I thought to myself.My confusion was soon cleared when a man came forward, took the key from him, and drove away from the car. As far as I know, he was not his driver. It seems like people know him here.Oh God! Whom am I kidding?The whole city knows him. His name is enough for even the child to know his biodata."Follow me," he ordered, as if I were one of his employees but as I didn't have any other option, I just ran behind him.Yes, I ran!Because his every step was so big, it was practically impossible for me to match his speed without running behin

23. Panic Attack

The girls smiled as I walked into the hall. Their faces were telling me that they liked the dress as much as I liked it.Vincenzo, who was still busy with his phone, looked up at me when I stood in front of him, dressed in that princess gown. He forgot to blink for a second.A playful smile crept on my lips. He gulped as his eyes reached my face. I was fully sure that he was going to pass the dress when he opened his mouth."Next! This dress is a bit over for the party."Oh!My little heart broke!I already loved this dress, as it was beautiful and comfortable at the same time and most importantly, I didn't need to try the various dresses. But whomever I am fooling, all Vincenzo has learned is to bother me.My shoulders slumped and I walked to those girls to ask for another dress."Take this; I bet he would pass this one," she mumbled in my ear and giggled.They have been working for him for a very long time so I am sure they must know his preferences. So to save myself from all the h

24. Bare to his eyes

Roseline's POVThe hands on my shoulder assured me that I was not alone. There is someone around. The sudden rush of panic that had consumed me began to ebb away, replaced by a glimmer of hope and familiarity.But as soon as I got relieved, I felt a surge of fear and uncertainty the next second.Who could possibly be this?"Calm down, it's me." I got the answer as soon as the question popped into my head.I don't need to ask who it is, as his voice has been haunting me since we have met but for the first time, his voice felt soothing and relaxing. I was not in my senses and didn't know when I jumped on him and hugged him tightly, as if my life depended on him.My heart was thumping loudly in my chest and as I placed my ear on his chest I could hear his heart beating in the same rhythm as mine. My eyes closed on their own as his hand started rubbing my back, cooing nothing sweet in my ear.I got so lost in him that for a moment, I forgot he was the same man who made me so helpless that

25. You belong to me

I stood there, my body still trembling from the vulnerability that had overtaken me, while he was still kissing me passionately as if he were hungry from years when we had only kissed two weeks ago. He didn't seem to be satisfied with my lips anytime soon. His palm that was resting on my waist moved up, his knuckles caressing my cheek softly, contrasting the movement and the fierceness of his lips against mine. With a tender touch, he traced the line of my jaw, his touch electrifying against my skin. Time seemed to stand still as our lips met—a collision of longing and unspoken passion. This time he didn't need to order me to kiss him back, as I found myself moving my lips in the same rhythm and intensity. There was an unknown magnetic pull in between us that was bringing us together, making us even more thirsty as we came closer. I still couldn't get why my body was reacting in this way when I knew full well what kind of person he was. I know that I shouldn't be doing it. But all

26. Street food is unhygienic

Roseline's POVBefore I could ask him what he meant by punishment and exactly what he was going to do tonight, we heard a gentle knock on the door, which broke the moment and grabbed our attention."Ma'am, are you fine?" I could identify it as the voice of the manager.Vincenzo's arms dropped to his sides, and his palms were tightly fisted. All the playfulness was now substituted with rage. He must be angry at the sudden power cut. I know he wants everything perfect. He can't bear any flaws, especially in something he owns."As we are running out of time, let's finalize this dress," he pointed at the dress that he selected for me, but I was not able to try it. "Come out after wearing your clothes, and this time remember to lock the doors." His eyes moved to my body for the one last time before he made his way out of the room.I immediately rushed to lock the door and turned around, standing with the support of the door. My hand reached out to my thumping heart to calm it down.This is

27. Crush & Blush

Roseline's POVI have to kill my cravings, because of this devil.He disappeared after ordering me to get ready as soon as possible for the party, as we were already late. He was speaking as if I were responsible for us getting late. It was he who entered the changing room and did all those shenanigans."What happened, ma'am?" The attendee whom Vincenzo sent to dress me up asked.I shook my head. I am sure she must have seen the difference on my face as I recalled that incident.I wanted to get ready on my own, as wherever he is taking me, I want to go as I am, but she didn't listen, saying that it was her duty and that if she didn't fulfill it, she would lose her job.I let her perform her duty because I am sure that her boss will not take even a second before firing her.Yet, I told her to keep the makeup as natural as possible, and she obeyed my command. As the final look, she curled a few flicks and the tips of my elbow-length hair.I was looking quite different from normal. Of co

28. I don't like you

Roseline's POVEvery step that the girl took towards us was seductive; her eyes, which were fixated on Vincenzo, were also filled with desires, which she didn't even try to hide.It was quite clear from Vincenzo's eyes that they had known each other for a very long time. She was so lost in him that she didn't even notice that I was also standing beside Vincenzo."Hello, Vinc," she said, greeting him with a wide smile on her lips."Cenzo... Vincenzo." Vincenzo corrected her in a bit of a rude tone. No!This time, my doubt wasn't right. They may know each other but she is not the one whom Vincenzo loves.And why do I care, even if she is his ex? He has already clarified his intentions and the fact that he already loves someone. It should not be a matter of concern who this girl is."Hello, Mr. Luca," she corrected herself, her tone telling that she didn't like the way Vincenzo corrected her but there was nothing she could do. It is either his way or the highway."Hello, Ms. Claire." Thi

29. Rude & Bossy

I couldn't believe what I just heard. Kevin is Vincenzo's brother. But as far as I know, he is the single child of his parents, whom I haven't met yet. "Thanks," Vincenzo said rudely and he shoved his free hand into his pocket instead of shaking hands with his brother. Out of embarrassment, Kevin rubbed the back of his head and dropped his hand to his side. "Now, if you permit, can I have a few words with my wife in private?" He asked. Why is Vincenzo talking so rudely to his brother? "Sure," Kevin smiled, which I bet was not a genuine one. Giving me one last look, he left us alone. Vincenzo whirled me around when he was out of sight. "I told you to stay away from boys." His grip on my arm tightened as he clenched his jaw tightly in anger. "He is your brother," I protested. "But not yours," he seethed. "I just came here to wash my hands," I argued. "You could have waited for me or simply used the tissue paper; it was not a big deal. I came back in two minutes and found that

Roseline's POV"Here"He smiled and walked to me with the chit in his hand."Kevin?""Yes," he said, showing me his chit. "Today, it is destiny that wants us to meet," he chuckled"All the couples, kindly take their spots," the host announced before I could say anything."Shall we?" He asked for my hand.I looked back once again but didn't find Vincenzo. My heart started pounding in my chest. What if he has actually left me alone?"What happened?" Kevin askedI shook my head."I could tear the chit if you want. Dance only if you are comfortable," he whispered in a low tone so that no one could hear us.I opened my mouth to agree with what he said but before I could, Ms. Claire pushed us to the dance floor and suddenly we became the center of attention.I felt too many eyes on us and goosebumps rose all over my skin."The rules are simple: the couple that stopped, fell, or didn't change the moves with the changing songs would get eliminated," the host announced.Soon the music played a
