It was love making to the duo. Alexander held her close and kneaded the part he placed his hands on. He massaged her body to help with her soreness.Time went by as they laid beside each other. Rosalie relaxed into his hold. It was still unbelievable he was that close to her. She placed her head on his chest and listened to his rhythmic heartbeat.She wanted to ask questions; to know about why he was away and cold to her but she couldn't — she didn't want him to leave."Rosie," Alexander raised her head to his with brows raised. "Where did you slip into, I asked a question."Huh? Rosalie licked her lips and sat up on the sofa. "I…I was just happy you aren't cold anymore and at the same time—" she licked her lips and sniffed."I'm scared you might go back into your shell. I wouldn't be able to take it if you do. It was heartbreaking for me" she cried and he exhaled."It's okay," Alexander pulled her to himself and brushed her nose with his. "I won't" he whispered more like a promise.I
Alexander's POVI rested in the backseat and took deep breaths. It had to be done because it was necessary. I couldn't go further anymore.And what if the family gets angry?They were bound to be. I tried a lot. From childhood, teenage life, I buried my passion for them. I did what I could but not losing Rosalie. A decision I made. First, I had to break it to Sophia.I grabbed my phone and I sighted the ring. Her family got it so I might just need to give it back. "Alex, oh my god, you're calling," her squeal filled my ears and the lines of my lips etched into a frown."Let's meet at Delightfoods" I muttered and again, her squeal erupted."You're asking me on a date? Oh my god, I'm so excited. When Alex?""In ten minutes times" I breathed out and ended the call. Running my hands through my hair, I scowled.I wasn't supposed to go on with the engagement. Now that the media knew about it, it was certain Sophia wouldn't back down without a fight.I sighed. Our relationship might just be
"Come in," Alexander called out and Rosalie pushed the door open. When his eyes rested on her, the insides of him grew warm."Good morning, sir" Rosalie muttered as she tried to push her jelly legs towards him. What happened between them in the past two days was the only thing that replayed in her head.She was just resting her eyes on him for the past two days. They only spoke on the phone."Come," Rosalie nodded and bit the insides of her cheeks as she forced her shy self to walk to him.As soon as she was close enough, Alexander grabbed her hand and trailed his hands on her supple skin. He missed the feeling of her skin.He was away from her for two days. He missed her."You're pretty," he whispered and gently kissed her arm. Rosalie shuddered and shut her eyes as his lips moved on her skin.When she didn't feel anything, she opened her eyes and they locked eyes. Alexander pulled her to his thighs and a gasp escaped her lips."Sir—" she breathed out wide-eyed."What?" Alexander ch
"For her?" Sophia scoffed. She found it unbelievable. He was with his secretary? He left her in that restaurant screaming. She waited for him to reconsider his decision.And when he didn't, she came to him. Only to meet this goddamn secretary in his arms. He kissed her. He allowed her to hug him."Get into the car, Rosie," Alexander ordered to Rosalie who sucked in her cheeks. "No," Sophia protested before Rosalie could move. "She wouldn't go in. She's part of this discussion," Sophia smothered and grabbed Rosalie's arm."From the first day I loathed you. When you walked in that day. It was a mistake. I wasn't supposed to allow you to stay another minute with Alexander.""I was right all along. All along!" Sophia snarled and tightened her hold on Rosalie. "But you haven't won. You never will.""Stop it," Alexander intervened and pulled Rosalie from her grip, "why are you acting like a mad obsessed girl Sophia? I was never in love with you. You forced yourself on me Sophia. Every sing
"And you think it wasn't important to tell me?" Alexander scoffed over the phone and Rosalie sighed.She skipped work for two days. When she visited Pamela, she didn't have the energy to go to work the next day because of the conversation between them both "I'm sorry, sir" she apologized.She heard him exhale over the phone, "where are you at the moment?""At…mum's place" she breathed out and at once, the call disconnected. Rosalie scoffed and leaned back into the chair she was in.Couldn't he say he was ending the call? Was he arrogant or that was just his way of life? She curled on the sofa enjoying her show.Her mum wasn't home. She had gone to her place of work. Boredom held her hostage and she used the TV. She would have called Aria over if Aria wasn't in her place of work.The doorbell rang, jolting her out of her thoughts and her brows creased. It wasn't time for her mum to come back. Who could it be?Alexander clicked in her mind and her confusion grew deeper. Could it be him
Aria trotted towards the office as fast as her legs could carry her. She needed to see that asshole. He had to know what he did to her.Because of him, Rosalie was battling for her life. It angered her and at the moment, she only wanted to punch him for hurting her friend.She was sure he did something. Rosalie couldn't have gone to the bar just to drink. She sniffed repeatedly until she reached the door.The receptionist had informed him over the phone and he gave his permission. Aria knew with or without permission, she was going to see him.She pushed the door open and Alexander raised his head when he saw her."You idiot," Aria trudged to Alexander trying to control her rage, "you're here seated working. You didn't even ask for Rosalie. Why's she not in the office today?""She has skipped work for two days so I bet she skipped today too," Alexander shrugged and Aria scoffed.She pushed back every urge in her to walk to him and give him a slap. Those rich dudes were rude. How'd Ros
Rosalie's eyes fluttered open. She shut them back as she stirred on the bed. Agonizing pain and hammering in her head clawed her chest at once.She groaned as she stirred and gently, her eyes flickered open. This time, she squinted them until her eyes took in the hospital's white intricate ceilings.The antiseptic smell of the hospital welcomed her, causing an irritating clog in her throat. She groaned once more and at once, a distant voice echoed in her ear."Rosalie," it was Pamela, "Rosalie," Pamela called expectantly as Rosalie moaned in pain.Her eyes adjusted to the rays but not to the pain. She sniffed and Pamela grabbed the hand she stretched out. "Rosalie," "Mum?" Rosalie bit on her lip to take in the pain and at the same time stared at her mother seated in front of her, "mum, where am I?" She moaned when she stirred."Stay calm, your leg is bandaged," Pamela whispered amidst her happiness. She couldn't believe Rosalie was awake.After being in a temporary coma for five days
"Sophia?" The words flew out of Rosalie's trembling lips. "Sophia was the one that hit me?" She asked as she tried to get a memory of it but it was impossible.Of course, she was drunk."Yes," Alexander answeredRosalie was completely taken aback. She stared numb into the space. She tried to kill her? Because… of Alexander? Sophia threatened her countless times but…She never thought it was to the extent of killing her. In a lifetime, Rosalie wouldn't have thought Sophia would hit her with a car.All because of her boss standing in front of her. The pretender and that cold man.Her tears fell helplessly as she blamed herself; her choices were all wrong. How didn't she think the rich would do anything to have what they want?It was stupid to think she would fight against someone that knew the man she was fighting for even before she knew him. Was it wrong to fight when she wasn't even in their category?Tears clouded her vision adding to the pounding in her head. She was tired; weaken
