Roman’s POVI shivered behind the couch in shame, my body broken, my pride completely destroyed, my breath ragged and everything I held dear was stripped away from me.Matteo stood over me, his presence suffocating as he adjusted his tie carefully with a smile on his face."Look at you. Not so loud now, are we, Captain?" He scoffed.Pain shot through me and the words escaped my lips before I knew it."Get... get out. Just kill me." My voice was hoarse as I stared at the floor, tears of anger and shame burned in my eyes.“Oh poor dear,” he mocked. “Alicia, now you can see he's just a coward hiding behind a couch right. No longer pretty, is he?” And all his men laughed loudly at me.He walked over me and dropped to one knee, gripping my chin firmly with a gloved hand, forcing my face up. I tried to pull away, but his grip tightened hard and forced me to look at him. He stared into my broken eyes with nothing but victory in his eyes.“Kill you?” He smirked and turned to his men. “If only

Roman’s POVThe pieces of the wood shattered all over the floor and I shrieked while she shivered behind me with my half unbuttoned shirt.Heavy footsteps thudded against the room as my eyes widened at the men entering the room.They were all with guns, matching into my house for war. She screamed behind me and grabbed her dress, not minding what could happen and ran past them against the open door way now and they didn't even bother to stop her.My heart pounded heavily against my chest as I scrambled back to the couch, in search of the emergency alarm. "What the fuck?! What are you doing?!"Just as I was about to hit the button, a massive boot landed against my arm and I felt my bone snap.Just then, I saw him, Matteo, walking into the house, his face without emotions as usual and completely unbothered at the horror that had befallen me.With a few casual strides, he came over the couch while I held my bleeding arm in pain. His eyes were dead serious as they locked on to a shiverin

Roman’s POVMy eyes narrowed at the mirror as I slowly applied some of my mom's creams on my face.I pulled out my phone slowly and went straight to my chat with Alicia. A frown curled on my face as I was just about to toss it away, but an idea struck me and I quickly typed a message quickly to her.“Hey beautiful. I had a rough night, but all I could think about was seeing you. Let me take you out tonight. Somewhere special.I smirked as I hit send. Let's see how you'll hold her when she's madly in love with me.I spent the whole day prepping for the venue, my clothes and my bruised face. But I made sure every detail was done right and by nightfall, I was at a restaurant, Alicia sitting across the table, smiling gracefully at me while we enjoyed the beautiful views of the city.I was attentive, listening to every single word she had to say. Gentility was absolute, I pulled her chair whenever she needed without being asked, something I never do and smiled constantly at her. She was gl

Roman's POVThe chill from the metallic chair seeped into my ass. Loud footsteps thudding against the floor approached me and I grit my teeth, fighting my racing heart.With a sharp swing, the hood was violently ripped off my head and my hair shattered all over my face. The blinding light rushed right into my eyes and I hid my face, but I caught a flicker of someone seated across me.Slowly, I shook my head gently and forced my eyes open again and there he was, clad in a black suit. His face was without emotions and his eyes were far from me. They were too busy trying to set the massive gold ring on his pinky finger.Who wears a ring on their pinky finger?A sigh escaped my lips and he finally turned to me, scanning me closely as though he just realized I was there.My face was heavy with frowns and I forced it out.“Who are you? What do you want with me?” My voice thundered across the corners of the room. He didn't say a word, he simply adjusted his suit and drew his chair closer an

Roman’s POVThe loud cheers from the boys filled the air, but it was nothing compared to the loud silence in my head.The locker room was filled with roars and the coach's smiley face beamed at me. “Roman, what's the matter?” Davon noticed my unusual silence and tapped my shoulder.“Uhm, nothing man.”His hand reached for my cheek and tapped gently.“Cheer up cap, we won the game! Now let's go party!” He chuckled and pulled me into his shoulder while the others cheered.After a while of screaming round the school halls, we were back at the locker room, changed, but still hyped up, ready for the night party.My heart raced as I reached for my phone, my eyes straying away from the screen. A deep sigh escaped my lips as I stared at it.No calls, no texts. They said they were gonna be at the game, but their seats were empty at the stadium. Yet again, they had me fooled.Every single time, all they do is make empty promises and never show up. It's more like they abandoned me to be by myse
