I reached the hospital and parked the car in the driveway and walked towards the entrance of the hospital taking the bouquet with me.I saw that Dr. Sarah is in the same wing as me and she came closer to me saying.“Rozine is getting discharged.”“Has the payment been made?”“Not yet.”“Good. I’ll be doing it.”She nodded and left. I took the elevators. I reached the floor where Rozine’s room was and walked towards it.I entered and saw Ms. Mariam back facing me while she collected things in her bag but Rozine was nowhere to be seen. I coughed to let her know that I’m here.She turned and greeted me with a smile and I smiled back.“Rozine is in the washroom, changing.” She said looking at the bouquet in my hands.“Okay. I’ll do the other formalities till then.”She shook her head and said. “No need, Mr. Risso we-”“Please let me, Ms. Valerina. She ended up here because of me and this is the least I can do.”She nodded and I left the room keeping the flowers at the bedside table.I di
“What are we?”As I asked him the question his facial expressions changed.Fuck! I shouldn’t have asked it. How foolish of me to think a mere attraction was ready to label.“What do you want us to be?” He said, raising his eyebrows.Why can’t you keep quiet, Rozine? Or maybe it’s just my anxiety.I opened my mouth to say something but he suddenly said something that froze me in my position.“Will you be my Girlfriend, Rozine?”His gaze was piercing me. I would’ve split into two pieces but his palms that held mine stopped me from doing it. I wasn’t able to form words or even open my mouth. I thought if I’d say something, I'd ruin this moment and he suddenly said again.“Will you go on a date with me?”My eyes widened with the shock but controlled them fast enough to not let him see through me. I was numb now. Actually so numb that my body felt immobile and only my eyeballs were moving, flickering between his eyes and lips.I wanted to kiss him right at that moment but his lips again m
It has been 3 days since Rozine got back from the hospital and is getting better day by day.And today is our date but here I am, sitting in my home office with Mr. Gross’s FBI agents as he promised me his help. And a few more sketchers to draw the figures.I had to say, this FBI agent is good at his work and he’s figured out the man who fired bullets is. It wasn’t easy to figure out as his face is covered in all the CCTV cameras but a rough sketch has been drawn.“This is the final sketch?” I asked, looking at the drawn portrait of a man that doesn’t look so old.“Yes, Sir. Lend me some time. I'll let you know about the man he’s working for or whoever is on their team.”I nodded leaving the office with the sketch in my hands, and my bodyguard was standing right at the door.“I want this person in my basement by tonight.” I said, forwarding the sketch and he nodded while taking it.I took the elevators and left for Rozine’s home. I pulled off at her apartment and she came wearing the d
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
