Author Pov You're mine for now and forever. His words echoed in her head as she stared out of the window with sad eyes. She couldn't help but question again and again why his eyes seemed so different and strange? They weren't having the glint of Obsession anymore. They were different and weird. She was used to seeing obsession and possession in his bright blue eyes. But the look he shot her two days ago was beyond her understanding. She wasn't ready to face something more terrible than what she has faced years ago. She sighed heavily hugging her arms when suddenly two bulky arms got wrapped around her waist, he rested his chin over her shoulder making her blink a few times coming back from her daydreaming. "Why do you like to stand in front of the window so much?" He questioned making her slightly shake her head. " I don't know." He hummed not wanting to push her to tell him. For the past two days, Rafael had been trying to know her more. But whenever he questions her something
Author Pov Flashback. Rose was only 10 years old when she met Fred, a year-old baby. He was sent to the orphanage by his own uncle after the death of his parents. Rose didn't have a cold personality. She was a joyful, lively little girl back then. When Fred entered the orphanage 10 years old Rose took an extreme interest in him. His light grey eyes reminded her of her own. His beautiful smile and light giggles gave her deniable comfort. She wanted to take care of that innocent little kid and that's what she did. She started taking care of him like an older sister or more like a mother. She used to change his clothes, shower him, feed him, and even used to wake up in the night hearing his cries. She became his mother without realizing it. She got attached to him to the extent of not being able to detach from him again. When she turned sixteen she met someone who came to visit the orphanage and invest in it. Rose after putting Fred to sleep, walked out of the room to reach the pla
Author PovFlashback ContinuesRose smiled at Reynold who was sitting on the couch with a blank face. She walked near him gaining his attention. His eyes roamed from her feet to her face. She was dressed up in a beautiful knee-sized dress looking like a fresh flower.After his tries, she finally accepted to go on a date with him. For the past year, they never have been out without Fred and Reynold told her he wants to be alone with her. Even though she was hesitant but still she gave up thinking that he has done so much for her she should do a little for him as well.He stood up towering over her staring at her with his intense gaze once again. She shifted uncomfortably, his gaze always makes her tense. She has no idea why but whenever they were alone he always looks at her with a different kind of gaze she can't recognize.He took her hands peppering them with kisses making her chuckle. All her discomfort got replaced with adoration as he tugged on her hands to pull her closer. She l
Author Pov Flashback Continues"What?" Rose exclaimed expanding her eyes in shock. She stared at tearing up Jane who looked helpless."I am sorry Rose I tried to refuse but it's against our policy." Rose palmed her forehead stumbling back."Why aunt why? You know he's a manipulative monster. What if he ends up doing something to Fred?" Rose spat angrily."R-Rose I am s----" Rose shook her head at the woman running out of the kitchen to her room.She ruffled through the stuff given by Reynold trying to find the phone. She wanted to return everything to him but after that night of their break up, he didn't contact or come to see her. And she didn't want to take a risk by going to his house so she simply decided to keep this stuff for time being.But now she understood why he was so silent all these past days? He had been planning this for so long. He knew she can even give her life for Fred that's why he decided to use him as a scapegoat just to lure Rose.Finally finding the phone she
Author PovRose entered the kitchen to drink water. It's been nearly midnight and Rafael as expected was sleeping in the room. Rose doesn't like to drink water stored in the room. So she decided to come to the kitchen to soothe her aching throat.She coughed a little filling the glass with the water before her mind went to the weird change in behavior of Rafael. Today he came back earlier than usual and the moment he met her eyes he did nothing but run to her and engulf her tightly in his arms taking her off guard.She stayed still and stiff on the spot like she always does but the confusion her mind held was different. She had been hugged by him many times but the hug he gave her today was too different. It was warm and soothing.She didn't want to feel the comfort she felt while being cradled in his buff arms. He didn't leave her and stayed cuddling her tiny frame in his arms for a proper five minutes letting her stand on the same spot with a confused frown covering her forehead.Sh
Author PovRose frowned staring at the beautiful dress laying on the bed. She walked near it grabbing the small note placed beside it. Her frown deepened when she read the words written on it.Be ready by 7 pm. -RafaelShe stared at the note for a few minutes before sighing heavily. Sitting on the edge of the bed she touched the beautiful shimmering gown letting out a small chuckle.Once she used to love these small surprises. She always used to love getting gifts from people but indeed one traumatizing event can change anyone's mind. Her life and mind took a huge turn as well.All of these expensive things don't excite her anymore. No matter how much Rafael is trying to come out as patient as he can be with her, he can't bring the Rose she used to be back.She's mentally ruined, and pieces of her shattered sanity can't be healed ever. Over the past week, Rose noticed him giving her as much less work as he can. He sometimes even drags her away from her chores forcing her to stay with
Author Pov"I love you Mio Fiore please give me a chance."Rose stayed frozen in her place. Her lips parted in utter shock. She wasn't expecting those words to leave his lips. She thought there must be another command of his to hurt her but no. It was something opposite of what she thought.Rafael already expected this reaction of hers. But still, he stayed silent in a hope that maybe a miracle would happen and she might end up saying yes. But no, Rose didn't even meet his eyes properly.She looked away from him gulping down. She opened and closed her lips many times having no idea of what to reply? Those words are familiar to her but the voice uttering them this time is different."I-I master I---" Rafael stopped her blabbering by grabbing her cold hands in his warm ones. He kissed her tiny hands smiling at her."I understand Rose. And I have promised something to myself when I finally accepted my feelings for you." Rose still said nothing. Neither she looked in his way nor she remov
Author PovRose removed his arms around her body taking a step back. Rafael got startled for a second at her sudden action before frowning at her. He wasn't able to understand what was wrong with her all of a sudden?"She told you everything didn't she?" Rafael's wrinkled forehead finally started easing up as he heard her mumbling lowly. He sighed heavily."Rose I know you didn't want me to know about your past but---" Rose snapped her head up staring right in his eyes."But? It's my past right? Then I should be the one having a full right if I want to share it with someone or not." This was the first Rafael has witnessed her anger. Her hands were continuously being clenched and unclenched. She was trying her best to not yell at him."You are just a person who bought me. You have no right to dig into my past. All your concern should be related to my body nothing else." This angered Rafael as well.Rose flinched in surprise when Rafael grabbed her arms jerking her body closer to him. S
