It’s been 3 days since the ball night and the only news I’ve got is that Rozine fell unconscious that night. I’m sitting on the couch of Wallerman’s living room and waiting for him to come down to his room.I’ve been listening to the loud moans since minutes and the bastard is still not done with fucking his whores.Yes, whores! The fucker is worst than me when it comes to women. I just got jealous over Mariam and killed her husband. This bastard up there fucks like there’s no tomorrow.The moans got sloppier and almost faded. I saw him coming down the stairs buttoning up his shirt.“Sorry I made you wait, Gilbert.” He said sipping water. “You had water?”“Aren’t you afraid of your wife? Youve been fucking your whores, maids, assistants, PA’s and what not?”“Were you afraid of your wife?” His lifted eyebrow said it all if his mouth couldn’t.“I wasn’t cheating on her unlike you.”“Still doesn’t justify your actions.” He let out a snort and kept the water down.“Shut up and tell me wha
We both exited the car and came near the body lying on the road. DEAD.It was scary as I never encountered anyone lying on the random road near the bridge but there’s first time for everytime. Right?We both bent a little to get a closer look of the person but the sight before me shook me to my core.The guy was no one else than Peter. I shivered and looked back at Jackson. He drew me into his arms and held me in his chest.“Shh…It’s okay. People are meant to die, it’s a part of life.”He tried to hush me down and I shook my head in a ‘no’.“He’s- uh, he’s-” I hiccuped while saying and he lifted my chin up.“Who’s he?” He asked me and I stared right back into his hunter eyes that were darker than any shade of black.“He’s Peter. My ex.”He held my head into his chest and I saw a car moving towards us. But I couldn't see clearly because the headlights invaded my vision. Jackson pulled back and 2 mens in formal outfits came out of the car with the guns in their hands. The guns were sma
“I don’t fear your empty threats!”As she said these words I wanted to eat her ,raw, right in the moment. But my inner voice stopped me from becoming the devil.“You need to eat, come on.”She sat up straight and I fed her the soup while she talked. My ears weren’t listening to her, my eyes were.I fed her the soup and patted her back until she fell asleep.Seeing her sleeping so peacefully, an itch entered in me. An itch to never let her get hurt and keep her safe always! In my arms.It was 5 in the morning and I had some unfinished business to take care of so I left her there in the bedroom to leave for the office.My brain cells, nerves or body stopped working when Rozine said the body is of her ex, Peter. I never in my thoughts imagined for this person to be Rozine’s ex.The thought of Peter cheating on Rozine on Jared’s order kept entering my mind until I reached the office.I took the elevators and couldn’t stop thinking about why he would target Rose? And the answer kept coming
I woke up in the same bed as earlier but couldn’t feel the same warmth & comfort. Raking my eyes through the room I looked for him but my eyes didn’t catch him.I looked at the clock kept on the side table and it was 8 in the morning. I stood up and found myself in one of his white shirts with no panties. His shirt ends until my mid - thighs. Cool Height Difference, Right?I observed the bedroom fully, how big and luxurious it looked. I walked to the other side of the room and thought it was a living room, to my surprise, it was a BIG ASS Bathroom.My jaw dropped until it touched the ground. I moved further inside and saw closets, and a shoe showroom. Showroom because there were every kind of shoes one could imagine.“Ms. Valerina.” A womanly voice came from behind and I was startled. I turned around and looked at the same lady that served me the soup previously.“I’m sorry to scare you. I wanted to ask if you need anything?”“No, Thank you. I’m fine. Miss-”“Greta.”“Right.” I nod
I waited until Jackson was home to drop the news. By the time he returned I did some makeup and didn’t realise he kept beauty products in his drawers.I was staring at my reflection in the mirror, questioning myself if I really deserved this. The luxurious Lifestyle. The Love. The opportunities waiting for me.“Rose?”The voice came from the other side of the room to tell me I deserved it and there was someone who loved me for all of me. “I’m here.” I saw him entering through the door and my gaze diverted on his bandaged arm. He followed my gaze and I lifted my gaze in question.The thought of him getting hurt made my heart shrink and tears welled up in my eyes.He cut the distance between us and caressed my cheeks as a sob left my throat.“How did you get hurt?”My voice came out throaty as I caressed his bandaged arm.“It’s nothing, baby. Don’t cry over me.”“No! It’s not nothing. What happened? Tell me.”Authority laced my voice with loud words.He kept stroking my cheeks and th
She disappeared into the other side of the door and came back with her phone.“Look.”She forwarded her phone towards me and I saw an email from a book publisher.“It’s an email.”“Hnn-hnn.”I took the phone from her and read the email that said the publisher would like to publish a hard copy of her book.My eyes lit up with surprise and I looked over to her looking out at me with hope.The pride I had in my chest was unbelievable. I’ve never ever been proud of anyone else before nor have I gotten a chance to.“Oh my baby! I’m so proud of you.”I lifted her in my arms and rotated a few times while she squealed in happiness.I sat on the bed again with her over my lap while she struggled to catch her breath.“Does that mean I’m marrying an author?”“Correction please, A published author.”“Ohh my Author.”I pulled her by the back of her neck and kissed her passionately. Pushing her a little off my lap. She laid back on the bed while I hovered over her, while my lips never left hers.S
I completed the rest of my food in ignoring him and thankfully, he didn’t pull any more stunts further.We all ate in silence and Mrs. Risso returned to her room. While, I and Jackson took the lift. As soon as the doors closed he hovered over me and kissed me.By the time we reached our floor he made me a mess.The doors opened and I ran pushing him off of me. “You cannot run away from me, Rose. I’ll catch you.”“Come, get me.” I ran into the bathroom and he caught me against the wall, pinning both of my hands above and our chest widely close to each other.The shower started dripping water and we both got wet in no time.“I think we should-”I tried getting off from his hold but he increased the pressure and tightened it.“No!” His eyes spoke dominance, power, rage and most of all, desire. The kind of desires I only get to read in books.He slowly undressed me and I let him as I didn’t want him to rip off my dress. I knew he wasn’t a fan of disobedience as he never tolerated any.
It’s been a week since I have been rotting in my room all day, either crying to sad songs or staring at the walls while questioning my existence on Earth. Just living on cup noodles sucks but something is still better than nothing. What’s the point of living when the one you lived for ends up breaking your heart into million pieces that you cannot even collect. I am nothing but a broken vase that nobody even cares about except for my mother Mariam Valerina.My mother is the only person I have as a family. She used to be much more fun when Dad was alive but after his death, she lost all her charm. We lost Dad on my 10th Birthday where he invited all his business partners and one of his trusted business partners shot him. My Dad gave me the name Rose but my mother suggested Rozine.I was an only child. My mother was a Doctor and she wanted me to become one but I chose to study literature as I wanted to become an Author. Though. All my concentration was vanished when i fell in love wit
