Rosana took a shower and sat to have breakfast in her room. After the last encounter with Munika, she ceased eating in the dining room. It was more like she was avoiding any contact with her. Munika didn't trust her and she knew that perfectly well. But what she couldn't understand was why. Why would she ask about her motives if she trusted her? Why would she ask her to run away? After eating, Viola cleared the table and left the room, leaving her to herself once again. She went over to the window and stood to stare outside. She was now a prisoner, she thought. Why would her father want this for her? Even after knowing the kind of man Sergio De Niro was, he still went along and forced her to marry him. And her mother... Rosana couldn't stop wondering how she was feeling. For the past month, she had not heard anything from her mother or her father. They abandoned her, she thought to herself as tears welled up in her eyes. If something bad happened to her, her father wouldn't care. B

"Rosana!" Munika called out with a fake smile. She was surprised to see her approaching them quietly. "Sei bellissima" [You look so beautiful!] "Grazie!" Rosana was dressed in a long black slitted gown that hugged her body perfectly. Her blonde hair was neatly tied to the back, giving her a beautiful look. "Let's go!" She took a deep breath and walked over to him. When she noticed him staring at her with dark metallic eyes, she shivered. Why was he looking at her that way? She wondered. Was her look not up to his taste? She had not even applied so much makeup. A little powder, eyeshadow, mascara, and red lipstick were all she used for the night. But with the way Sergio was staring at her, she had the urge to run up to her room and wipe everything off. Why did she even wear make-up? It's not like she was going on a date with Allen or attending a party. She was going out with Sergio, a man who was more than a devil. A man who could kill without second thoughts or any emotions. "Ro

After breakfast, Rosana retreated to her room, wondering what suddenly changed with Sergio. He took her out for dinner, shared the same bed with her, and also had breakfast with her. Was it a coincidence that it all happened after he forced her to end things with Allen? That monster, she huffed and went to stand in front of the window. How could he start acting nice toward her after he had crushed her world? Not only her world, hers and Allen's. They were going to have a better future together not until he came and blew everything away. Her mind drifted to Allen and she sighed despondently. Without being told, she knew he was so miserable. They had made so many promises to each other but she ended up breaking hers. "My Lady?" Carmencita called out from behind and Rosana turned immediately. She had called for the older woman. "Oh, Carmen, you are here!" "I told you I will be here whenever you need me" Rosana smiled and went to sit on the bed. She was glad to finally have someone t

"Remember, he likes it hot," Munika reminded as they walked through the hallway together. "And do not forget to add all the powder too" "But... Why do I have to add all of it? It will be too much for him" Munika chuckled lightly. "Nothing can be too much for Sergio. But it will be enough to blow him out" Rosana nodded and turned the corner, heading towards the kitchen. She was holding the small wrap in her hand, trembling. What if everything goes wrong? What will happen to her? What will Sergio's reactions be? Nothing good, she concluded. After Munika left her room the previous night, she had laid back, thinking everything through. If the plan worked, she'd be free. But if it didn't... She'll be so doomed. He would kill her this time without any mercy or second thoughts. But she could still back away now it wasn't too late. She could turn around, go back to Munika and return whatever she had given to her. Then she'd go back to her room and stay indoors like she always has since sh

"You should get rid of her sooner, you cannot trust her. With what she did, she is capable of doing anything. Lei può distruggerti!" [She can destroy you!] Sergio turned around to face her. His right hand held a glass of gin, while his left was behind his back. He took a sip from the glass, his metallic eyes pinned on her. He didn't utter a word but she already felt goosebumps across her skin. Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm herself, wondering why he was staring at her that way. Did Rosana tell him the truth? She wondered. Or did he find out that she was the one behind everything? The thought of that made her tremble but she managed to keep a calm facade. She had to act strong and be ready to deny whatever he was going to throw her way. Besides, she wasn't the one that added sedatives to his coffee and tried to escape. Sergio stared intently at her, his gaze sharpening. It was the same way he looked at powerful men and caused them to tremble at his feet without words. He di
