She looked back when he mentioned punishment. "Punishment?" Her voice betrayed her bewilderment. "For what?" She hastily cleared her throat, feeling an unanticipated lump forming. He slapped her in an abrupt, jarring motion, causing her to gasp in surprise. Then, without warning, he pulled her onto his lap, lifting her up slightly. "For talking to Kevin without my permission. On the very first day, I made it clear that you are not allowed to talk to any other male yet you not only talked with him but also went with him to the washroom, and that too alone." She was listening silently as he was making allegations: "How could you blindly trust a random man?" "I... Uhh... I am not sure what you are talking about," she replied, her voice carrying a mix of uncertainty and defense. She swallowed hard, struggling to find her voice amidst the accusations being hurled at her. His expression hardened, and determination was evident in his eyes. "But I am certain about punishing you so that y
Vincenzo's POVI woke up to the chirping of the birds and my eyes opened slowly.As my consciousness gradually awakened, the events of the previous night flooded back into my mind, replaying vividly like a movie scene.Abruptly, I looked around and found myself sleeping while cuddling her closely to my chest.The sight of her peaceful face, illuminated by the soft morning light that filtered through the curtains, brought a mix of comfort but when my eyes moved down her body, which was half-covered with a duvet, I could feel anger rushing through my veins.How could I do this?Just how?I don't regret spending the night with her but I regret the thoughts that came to my head when I...No!I have to stop all this right here.Drawing deep breaths, I stepped out of bed and directly made my way to the bathroom.I first need to clean my mind.I turned on the faucet, letting the water flow. I splashed my face with the cool water, imagining it washing away all the negativity and doubts that c
Roseline's POV"Would you believe it if I told you that you were jumping like a frog in the middle of the road?" Vincenzo's voice sliced through the heavy silence."Have you gone crazy? Why would I do that?" I protested, my voice tinged with a mix of confusion and indignationHe cocked his head as if he knew my answer. Without arguing any further, he retrieved his phone from his pocket and played a video. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped when I saw myself hoping on the road like a frog. The reality of it hit me like a tidal wave, overwhelming me with disbelief.I can't believe it's me!I could feel my cheeks turning right out of embarrassment.My free hand instinctively covered my mouth while my other hand was still holding the duvet around me as if my life depended on it."Why?" I gulped, my voice barely above a whisper, as tears threatened to spill from the corners of my eyes. "How? I don't remember anything."The last thing I remember is going to party with him, meeting with Ms.
Roseline's POVIt's been two weeks since that night and Vincenzo has been ignoring me since that day. He wakes up early in the morning and leaves the room before I can even open my eyes and in the evenings, he would disappear into his study, engrossed in his own world. It is not like I miss him, but his strange actions left me feeling confused and unsettled. His personality is so confusing. He wants to get intimate and doesn't like me talking to any other male but at the same time, he doesn't want to fall in love with me. What does he exactly want? Vincenzo's intentions remained a mystery, and his conflicting behavior only added to the confusion I felt.A few days ago, I needed to ask something related to my project and with his experience and expertise in this subject, I was sure that no one else than him could guide me properly. Though he hasn't talked to me since that day yet, it was me who needed his help, so I decided to go into his study, hoping that he would be willing to
Roseline's POV"Sister Rose?" One of the kids squealed in surprise as he saw me entering the orphanage. "Friends, come out and see who has come to visit us!" The child shouted, his voice filled with excitement and anticipation. In no time, the kids came rushing out, their smiles widening as they saw me. Those who were nearby also turned their attention to the commotion."Sister Rose!" I heard a chorus of voices filled with joy and happiness.Overwhelmed by their warm welcome, I knelt down on the ground as the kids surrounded me. They enveloped me in their embrace, hugging me tightly from all sides and planting kisses wherever they could. I returned their affection, showering them with kisses and gentle caresses.At that moment, all my worries and the chaos of my personal life faded away. The magic of the orphanage enveloped me once again, just as it had from the day I first arrived."We missed you so much, sister," one of them said, tears shimmering in her eyes."I missed you all to
Roseline's POVFor the past half an hour, I have been busy decorating the wall for the celebration.Liam left me alone by saying that he needed to look after something else. But I know there isn't anything. He just needed an excuse to run away from work. It has been his habit since childhood. He runs away after giving his work to someone else.I didn't mind either. I love doing it.As I reached the upper half of the wall, I realized my hands couldn't reach that high. So, I grabbed a stool and positioned it next to the wall before climbing up on it.As I stretched my body to reach the corner, my ankle suddenly twisted, causing me to lose my balance. Desperately, I reached out for something to hold onto, but all I managed to grab was a frill that tore in the middle. The stool on which I was standing also lost its balance and I started falling back. The ground seemed to rush towards me as I prepared for a painful impact.With my eyes tightly shut, I braced myself, fearing the worst.But
Roseline's POV"Hello, Grandpa." I greeted him again as soon as I found a spot where I could talk to him clearly and hear what he was saying."I am sorry, child; I disturbed you," he apologized."It's ok, Grandpa. You could call me whenever you want. Is everything alright?" I asked him."Yes, yes, everything is fine. Don't worry"A wave of relief washed over me as I heard his reassurance. Grandpa's voice held a comforting tone, soothing my worried thoughts.There was a brief pause between us. I was waiting for him to state the purpose of calling me and he was taking his time. I just prayed for everything to actually be fine."Is there something else you wanted to tell me, Grandpa?" I inquired, sensing his hesitation.He sighed softly before responding, "Well, there is something, but I was unsure whether it would be considered rude.""Please, Grandpa, you can tell me anything," I reassured him, wanting him to share whatever was on his mind.He hesitated for a moment before continuing,
Roseline's POVI am sure I am again disillusioned, like every other time. I haven't met them before. It is for the first time that I am seeing her."It's my pleasure to meet you, too," I replied, keeping my smile steady as I extended my hand to Vincenzo's mother. Her warm smile reassured me, momentarily easing my concerns."My name is Moretti, Vincenzo's mother," she introduced herself, her voice gentle and inviting. I shook her hand firmly, reciprocating her warm greeting."Roseline." I smiled back at her as we shook hands.Vincenzo's father approached us; his demeanor is more reserved and serious compared to that of his son and wife. He simply nodded in acknowledgment as I greeted him, creating an air of formality."Let's have dinner together." Grandpa's excitement was palpable, and his happiness radiated through his voice.The dining table was set elegantly, adorned with delicious dishes. We settled around the table, Grandpa engaging in polite conversation with Vincenzo's mother."
