Married by Contract, Destined by Fate 101. Caramel and his little Rose
"Don't you remember anyone else than your parents?" I looked up at him and he licked his tongue as if he were expecting me to remember someone and tell him about that.My eyebrows drew together in confusion as I gulped and tried to remember someone."I mean maybe your siblings, friend, classmate, or someone else," he asked."No, I don't. I barely remember my parents, the one who gave me life and was with me all the time. How could I remember anyone else?" I breathed out "And as much as I remember, I was a single child of my parents," I told him.As I poured my heart out, his hand that had been resting on my knees all the time moved away, and I felt his reassuring palms on my shoulders, squeezing them lightly. He was now standing in front of me."He ruined everything, Vincenzo," I cried, my voice choked with pain while his hand remained on my shoulder "Because of him, I lost my entire childhood, my teenage years, and my parents. I can never get any of it back."Vincenzo's arms moved to
Married by Contract, Destined by Fate 102. His love story
Roseline's POV"My Rose, she truly defined her name, soft and beautiful inside out." His eyes shone brighter than I had ever seen as he started telling me his part of the story.He drew a deep breath as he savored the taste of the caramel that I just shared with him. His eyes fixated on the front wall as he took a trip down memory lane, back to the days when his love story with Rose began. "I used to stay at a hostel near her house. I was around eleven years old when one day I got scolded by a teacher for not completing my homework, After that, even my parents scolded me because I was their only child and they had so many expectations from me that I was always burdened under their expectations. Feeling upset, I went to a nearby field and started crying. I was quite foolish back then, and I used to cry about everything. I didn't have control over my emotions back then.His emotions were evident as he recalled those tender moments from his past, and he continued, "I was sobbing uncon
Married by Contract, Destined by Fate 103. A painful Goodbye
"But that year...," he continued, his expression growing more somber, "my grandfather and parents decided it was time for us to spend a month together as a family. They came to pick me up, and though I was reluctant to leave, they insisted and I had to listen to them because I was too small to go against their wish. They were not there for me and I wanted to stay with my Rose but I was helpless."He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to hide her tears."Before heading back home, I decided to visit her one last time and explain that I wouldn't be able to see her for a whole month. Only I know how I controlled my emotions that day in front of her when all I wanted was to cry. As I stood before her, her innocent eyes filled with confusion and concern, my heart ached at the thought of being away from her side, and somewhere I wasn't feeling good that day."He exhaled a deep breath and it felt like he went to that day itself as he told me about that.~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~Rose, who alwa

"What if you don't come back?" she asked, her voice trembling.His body froze for a second as he heard his question. He couldn't even think about not returning and was unable to meet his Rose for the rest of his life. He would be there for her forever and he would do anything to make it happen. He held her gently in his arms, wanting to protect her from all the fears and uncertainties that she had."I will always come back to you. You are the most important person in my life, and no matter where I go or what I do, my heart will always lead me back to you."She sniffed and rubbed her already red button-like nose, turning it into an even darker shade of red."And... will you still play house with me when you come back?" She asked, her voice filled with pure innocence.He wanted to chuckle at the question she kept asking."Of course! We will play house and have even more fun than before." He caressed her head gently.But there was something else on her mind, something that weighed heavil

"What did you hear?" I asked, my curiosity mixed with trepidation."They were discussing the couple they had tried to kill in that accident," he said, his words hanging heavily in the air as his mind replayed that day. "They believed that the couple had escaped and was on the run, but they found three dead bodies about 50 kilometers away from the accident site, among which there was a kid's body as well. My father wanted to tell me the truth to bring me out of the trauma and make me believe that my Rose is no more but my mother stopped him." His chin quivered. "What?" It came out of my mouth instinctively. My eyes widened and I could see the pain in his eyes, which was bare. "Yes, but I had to keep my mouth shut for my parents, which killed me even more from the inside." He paused for a moment, as if contemplating the weight of his words and the impact they had on his life."Since then, the Vincenzo whom my Rose used to call Enzo died," he continued, his voice tinged with sadness.
Married by Contract, Destined by Fate 106. Incompatible Souls
Roseline's POV"I don't remember you staring at me or me helping a boy like that," I said honestly, my memory failing to recall the specific incident he had described even when I tried to go back to that day."You know, you do acts of kindness in your daily life," he replied, his voice gentle and understanding. "It's not unusual for you to forget a single instance, but for me, witnessing such kindness in this cruel world was something extraordinary, something I couldn't forget."Maybe he is right! I always try to help as many people as I can on the street or wherever I go."A day before I visited your orphanage," he began, his voice tinged with vulnerability. "I had a heated argument with my grandfather. He was pressuring me to marry, believing that it would help me move on from my past. My family thought that Rose was no longer alive, and they wanted me to find someone else to love and forget about her. But deep down, I knew that nothing could make me forget my Rose."He paused for a

"Come on," he said with a playful grin, ignoring my protests as he grabbed my hand and led me out of his office.His employees stared at him in surprise as we walked out. I am sure they must be surprised because they didn't have to see their boss leaving the office during working hours.Soon I found myself sitting in the car, and he played music. I was looking out of the window when his words interrupted my thoughts."Have this by the time we reach there," he proposed and I was amazed to find caramel in between his fingers.From where did he get it?Don't tell me he keeps the caramel in the car as well.I didn't want him to disturb me while driving so I just took it from him. On the first day when I stole his caramel, he warned me not to do that again and now he is giving them to me by himself.After a few minutes, we were in the restaurant. My head was still filled with all the things that Vincenzo told me back in his office. His love for his little Rose, him knowing me before the fi
Married by Contract, Destined by Fate 108. Thirty years old stubborn kid
Roseline's POV"Won't you feed me?""Huh?" My eyebrows drew together in confusion."You know, my palms are still injured. In the morning, you bandaged them, fed me when I didn't want to, and dressed me with your own will but now you are busy in eating yourself without caring about me," he complained."But it is you who said that you are fine and you don't need the bandage anymore." I stated what he said, trying to reason with him rationally.He is the one who removed the bandage and flexed his palms in front of me, telling me that he was fine. Why should I think about him before eating?"Okay, fine!" he conceded, not looking happy with my response.Before he could reach for the spoon, I took a piece of meat from my dish and moved it towards his lips. He glared at me for a moment but eventually opened his mouth to accept the bite.I was right—he is still a kid!A stubborn one...It seemed like he enjoyed testing my patience, but I found it endearing in a way.I was feeding him while ha
