All Chapters of Trapped: Bloody Rose: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Rose was on her bed, just about ready to start reading, when there was a knock on the door. She was confused for a moment there, knowing the mafia boss’ condition had improved greatly. There should be no causes for concern. But then again, he was the mafia boss... Could he have decided he had been abstinent more than enough and hurt himself again? That was the first possibility that came to her mind. After all, though she tried to be normal around his people, she knew she didn’t belong, and thus didn’t try to mingle more than she had to, and couldn't for life of her guess who was at the door. She opened the door, and was visibly surprised to see both Stefan and Naomi. The woman had a disgruntled look on her face, as if she didn’t want to be here. Rose was dying to tell her she didn’t care for her either, but thought it was best not to push her luck. Then, something totally unexpected happened. Stefan nudged Naomi, and this latter had tears of humiliation in her eyes as she said

After placing the groceries on the counter of her place, Rose went straight to Maria’s apartment. And even though Maria greeted her with a smile, Rose felt that things were slightly off. She could totally understand Maria’s anger though, for she had not replied to her texts, a couple of days ago. She had not wanted to lie to her more than she already had. “How have you been, sweetheart?” Maria still opened the door wider for her. Rose hugged her at once, and let out a strangled, “I missed you.” Mey came, mewling, and asking for attention, and Rose crouched down without hesitating and hugged her little kitten. At first, Mey purred in her arms and nuzzled her face lovingly, and Rose breathed out a sigh of relief. She had been worried her kitten would feel neglected and thus get angry, but it appeared that she didn’t. Soon, Mey jumped out of her arms, and walked out of there daringly. She was being playful, and even though Rose called for her, all smiles, Mey ran down the stairs. Ro

Having a fun day? Roman typed the words, and hit send before he even thought his text through. Rose wasn’t even online, but he felt the need to reach out to her. And yet, instead of opening the conversation with something more mundane, like the weather or whatever, he chose to make such a big mistake, knowing full well the kind of day she had. She had cried her heart out in Flora’s arms as Mey was undergoing surgery, only to learn later that her little kitten had lost the ability to walk. How could her day be any fun? There was no option to delete the text once sent, and he decided to own up to his words anyway. He was a fucking mafia boss, and he shouldn’t be so shaken up by the mere act of trying to seduce a woman. Admittedly, it had been years since his last try. Women always flocked to him, and he never really had to, save for that girl back in high school – the goody two shoes who hadn’t wanted to mingle with a bad boy like him. I know my day was all work and no play, he so

The texts Rose exchanged with the madman on Connect were rather peculiar, and it felt like the man was people-awkward to say the least. Even though it kept her busy for a moment, she then decided to mute his messages. Not only was she bothered by the fact that he didn’t have a picture on his profile, merely an anime picture of what appeared to be a vampire, but also he seemed rather off in his messages. Also, for someone who claimed he was busy, his responses were almost instantaneous each time. Rose didn’t care for another liar in her life. She had just reached the clinic when she received a call from a number she didn’t recognize. She still took it almost reflexively. “Hello, Rose,” the greeting had the knack to make her freeze in her steps. Rooted in place, and slightly breathless, she all but struggled to let out a simple, “Hey.” “There’s nothing to settle,” the man, who featured in most of her wet dreams as of late, declared matter-of-factly. “But Mr Bianchi…” she was ready

Rose didn’t dare to make a scene, or even put an inch of distance between her and Roman. Hell, she didn’t even breathe too loudly, for fear of upsetting himf further.She didn’t know what could have made the mafia boss so angry, much less what could have made him seek her out to begin with… But she knew she was bound to find out. The waiter soon came around, and despite the little bit of a grimace on his face – as he no doubt wondered why Luke had been replaced – he asked, “Are you ready to order?” Roman merely gave him a look, promptly sending the man running for the hills without another word. “Who was the man, Rosalina?” Roman asked without so much as a preamble.Rose knew she was treading on dangerous territory, but she knew she couldn’t possibly give in to the mafia boss just because she could feel his simmering fury. Still, would it be wise to say his name, or claim that she had been on a date? It was obvious already that he knew all there was to know. Considering he had suc
