Roseline's POVAs he leaned in closer, my instincts kicked in, and I instinctively took a step back to create some distance between us. But to my dismay, this didn't stop him; he also moved forward, closing the distance between us.In my attempt to retreat, I stumbled and collided with an object behind me, which I hadn't noticed before. My surroundings had been a blur, and I hadn't taken the time to properly observe his room.My hands were still on my back and I was still breathing heavily. I curved myself as much as I could and he kept on leaning over me.Now, he was so close that his hot breath caressed my face, his intense gaze fixated on my numb lips, and the contrast of his cold body sent shivers down my spine.Confusion overwhelmed me. This was the first time I had ever been in such proximity to a man, and I couldn't comprehend the sensations coursing through me.He enveloped me in his arms, and I involuntarily held my breath, afraid that any intake of air would bring our bodies
Roseline's POVThankfully, the dress I found happened to be a knee-length midi dress, which was a relief.When I came out, he was nowhere to be found. Has he gone somewhere?Why do I care about his whereabouts? Perhaps there was a lingering sense of curiosity or concern, despite my earlier frustrations.Shrugging off those thoughts, I decided to sit down on the bed. To my surprise, the mattress felt incredibly soft and comfortable. The temptation to lie down and indulge in a deep sleep washed over me, but I hesitated. After all, it wasn't my home, and I didn't want to embarrass myself further in front of the person I referred to as a devil.My eyes were moving around when they abruptly stopped at a chocolate box. I found myself drawn to it. Unable to resist, I walked towards it.The anticipation built up as I opened the box, revealing a treasure trove of caramel cubes, each delicately wrapped in golden paper. The sight made my mouth water, and my craving for caramel took hold. It was
Roseline's POV"I want caramel."I moved my hand up to give him the caramel I was holding."From your lips."His eyes darkened as he stared deeply at the corners of my lips, which were smeared by my fingers.No!"That you stole from me," he added.I can see the desire flickering in his eyes, an ominous hunger that both terrifies and intrigues me.Then, without any warning, his hand moved up and his fingers reached out to me, his fingertips brushing against my lips. A jolt of electricity courses through my veins, sending shivers cascading down my spine. My breath catches in my throat as my skin prickles with anticipation.My eyes widened, and my senses heightened as I felt his touch. It's as if a current of energy passes between us, an invisible connection that defies explanation. I struggled to maintain my composure, my heart pounding in her chest.It was the first time he had touched me and I was already melting under him.I can't let him control my body.His touch lingers, his thumb
Roseline's POVI was standing in front of my small wooden house, engulfed in merciless flames.Smoke billows from shattered windows, obscuring my view and making it difficult for me to scream. Fear clenches my heart as I call out for my parents, and in reverting, I could hear nothing else but their agonizing screams.I know they are burning inside and I wanted to help them, to rescue them but I was held back by two strong arms who are behind this fire.I wiggled, screamed, thrashed, and did everything in my power to make myself free from his clutches, but nothing worked.I could see my parents hugging each other, barely visible amidst the engulfing blaze."Let me go!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.I just wanted to run to my parents to save them or to get myself burned along with them, as I don't have anyone else in this world than them. And I can't stay without them; they are my life, my everything."No! Rose, no! Don't come here," I heard my mother shouting in between her painfu
Vincenzo's POVAs I woke up, the only thing I could remember was her face, and as my eyes opened, it was the first thing I saw.When I caught her stealing my caramel, she looked like a small, adorable kid whose candy had been snatched away. At that very moment, I badly wanted to have the caramel on her lips but I had to control my urges.Last night, when she climbed into bed with me, I couldn't resist the urge to gaze at her captivating features. Undeniably, she was beautiful, reminiscent of a small kitten, adorable when calm but capable of becoming fierce when provoked.Her fierceness reminded me of the way she is going to react if she finds us in the position we are currently in.In the middle of the night, when she was in bed with me, she started mumbling, attempting to free herself again, but her words came out as muffled screams. They were not as loud as when she was screaming on the floor.Though I don't care yet, I found myself reaching out to comfort her, gently stroking her h
Roseline's POVAs his hand reached up, his knuckles tenderly grazing my cheek, a surge of discomfort washed over me. His intense gaze fixated on my lips, leaving no room for doubt about his intentions. The air became charged with an unsettling tension as I found myself confronted with a moment that demanded quick action from my side.Going with my impulse, just as his lips were about to meet mine, I forcefully pushed him back and delivered a well-aimed kick that sent him sprawling to the floor.Laughter bubbled up within me, and no matter how hard I tried to stifle it, I couldn't control the mirth. Even the anticipation of the consequences couldn't suppress my amusement. The room echoed with my laughter, and when I finally managed to calm down a bit, I expected an outburst of anger from him. But, as I glanced down, I saw him staring at me in sheer awe, his voice held captive by astonishment.I blinked and immediately ceased laughing."You seem in a good mood today."I thought that he
Roseline's POVI was sitting beside my so-called husband while his grandfather was yet to come. He asked the housekeeper to lie and say that he was waiting for us so that we could get ready fast.The dining table was already full of different kinds of foods and I was just waiting for his grandfather to come so that we could start eating. I haven't eaten anything properly for the last two days and now that I have accepted my destiny, it is becoming difficult for me to control my hunger. I want to eat everything and right now I am starving so much that I am ready to eat anything. "Don't think that I am letting you go for what you did just now. You are going to get its punishment," he whispered in my ear. I am sure he is talking about the 'spook' that I called him before running into the bathroom. I opened my mouth to retaliate but before I could say anything, we heard footsteps that grabbed our attention. "Good morning, grandpa," Vincenzo greeted his grandfather.This man at least re
Vincenzo's POVIt's been two weeks since I have been married by law. Every morning I wake up early and find myself sleeping over her and every time I have to change our position so that she doesn't take me wrong. It has now become my habit to sleep on her and I didn't even come to know about it. Today was Sunday, and I had the luxury of working from home. My study was conveniently connected to the bedroom, allowing me to have a clear view of the outside world while remaining secluded.After a satisfying lunch, I returned to my study to continue my work. I was deeply engrossed in my tasks until she entered my field of vision.There she was, spreading out her chart on the floor, right in the line of sight from my study. I couldn't help but be distracted by the sight. Was she seriously planning to work on the floor, right in front of my eyes?But why should I care? She could do the hell she wants. Engrossed in my work, I tried to focus, but she continued to move about, seemingly unaw
