Two days later
Knight Heritage, Italy
7:00 p.m.
Rosaline was sitting on the bed silently while lost in deep thoughts. She got discharged from the hospital two days ago.
Rosaline had been fully recovered by now. Xavier had brought her back to the Knight Heritage. Emily, Jennifer and Antonio were stuck with her like a glue all the time. They were too delighted for her as that incident had for sure undermined her health. But Rosaline wasn't happy. Since she had returned from the hospital, Xavier was giving her a cold shoulder. Although she didn't let it become evident but deep down his impassivity hurt her.
Love is so stupid. She doesn't even know what relationship she shares with Xavier. Was it love or hate? She wants to hate him but still her heart beats for him only, she wants to leave him but at the same time her eyes turn teary when she couldn't find him, she wants to shout a
"You think I don't care, you think I don't love you You may deny it thousand times but I know my indifference hurts you But that doesn't mean you can leave me, don't dare to use my silence as a gain Thinking that I am ignoring you so you can betray me again Don't think to play with me Rose, I can catch all your lies You thinkIain't watching you but I can sense your every move even with closed eyes." Next day Knight Heritage, Italy 8:30 p.m. Rosaline was in the living room along with Jennifer and Emily. They all were sitting on the couch and were busy chatting and laughing with each other. Emily and Jennifer were telling Rosaline about their previous Agent lives and their past experiences in CIA. Where Emily was boasting about her heroic Lara Croft stunts proudly,
At Knight Heritage "That's it, I am leaving " Rosaline huffed in anger as she immediately jumped from the bed and marched towards her closet. Jennifer and Emily became shocked as soon as they heard her. "N-No Rosa, don't-" Jennifer rushed to hold her right arm while she was grabbing the suitcase but Rosaline immediately snatched her hands away from her and glared her. "Don't come in my way, Jennie." She growled, her eyes shooting daggers. Jennifer was bewildered as well as scared. She knows if Xavier comes to know about this, Lord knows what he will do and fir sure the consequences won't be favourable for Rosaline. But she was more confused of the fact that wasn't Rosaline aware of this? She knows Xavier more than anyone in this world. Then why was she acting so recklessly? Jennifer looked back at Emily for help. Emily nodded and looked at the tigress who was shoving all her
"The world hated me for being a cheater but I knew you don't, People threw mud-slings at me, laughed at me butIwas sure you won't I did feel guilty but I was waiting for a chance to tell you my reasons, Somewherein myheart there was still a ray of hope that you'll listen But I wasn't familiar with the hatred that was deep buried inside your heart, I alwaysprayedthe best for you but didn't knew you were planning to break me apart You stomped over my dignity, your cruel words left me broken and shattered I kept crying and weeping while staring the pieces of myheartwhich were scattered That day I understood your love was amereveener, your care was ajusta cunning charade You made me realize that day thatI wasnothing infront of you, j
"Trust is like a glass, once broken it will never be the same again" "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER THIS TIME XAVIER" James huffed in anger while glaring Xavier who was himself glaring him back. "I didn't do anything, okay? She fainted on her own." Xavier shrugged and looked away from him. He sounded like a grumpy kid who was getting scolded by his parents for his wrongdoings. James shook his head in disappointment. As soon as Rosaline fainted, Xavier immediately called James. He covered her unconscious figure with a duvet and called the others. Jennifer, Emily and Antonio were horrified when they saw Rosaline lying on a bed like a corpse. Her breathing had turned too shallow and her skin had turned deadly pale. Noah was also shocked by her state while Katherine and Sophia were silently enjoying the show. Sebastian was watching R
A month later At Knight Heritage, Italy 9:00 a.m. Antonio's P.O.V. We all were settled around the dining table and were having our breakfast. There was a pin drop silence at the table, only the sound of forks and spoons clanking against the plates could be heard. 'One month has passed since that day.' Yes, Rosaline had been living with us for the past one month but like a spirit. I had barely heard her voice because after that day she had totally shut herself up. She comes to the office regularly, does all the work which is assigned to her by Noah, eats with us, live with us under the same roof but neither she engages herself in any conversation nor she even looks at anyone. She doesn't talk with anybody now, not even with Jennifer so smiling and laughing is totally out of the picture. Rosa lives like a robot, completes all the tas
At Romano Mall, Italy "Here you go" Emily chirped as she handed Rosaline an extremely gaudy black off shoulder gown which was studded with diamonds and pearls at the neck and sleeves. It had a long thigh slit and a plung neckline. Rosaline looked at it in shock, her eyes nearly came out of their sockets. "I-I can't wear this." She shook her head in denial as she refused to look at the dress even. Emily rolled her eyes at her childish behaviour. "Stop behaving like a kid. Come on, you'll look gorgeous in this. Now, go and try it. Shoo!!" She started pushing her towards the changing room. Rosaline jerked away her hands and looked at her with an annoyed expression. "I won't wear it and that's final." She gritted and harshly toppled the gown on the floor. Emily became stunned by her behaviour. "What the hell!! What is wrong with you? Why won't you wear it, h
"You came as a light in my life, my saviour, my hero But your madnessruinedme making you the reason of my sorrow You made me dream of stars, but your selfish love destroyed it Youclaimedtolovemebutyouractions never justified it" -Rosaline "You aren't a star of my life, you aremywhole damn sky The smile of my face, the sight for my sore eye Don't question my love for you, I promise I'llwinyou back You have always been mine Rose, even the God knows that it's a universal fact" -Xavier At Knight Heritage, Italy Rosaline immediately turned her steps back to the mansion aft
"And I am sorry for loving an arrogant and selfish monster like you Xavier Knight" Rosaline yelled while breathing heavily, her eyes pooled with angry tears as she glared at the brunette who kept staring her with guilty eyes. "Rosebud, I-" "STOP!!" Xavier tried to calm her down but she immediately cut him off. Xavier lifted his head up and looked at her sadly. "STOP CALLING ME THAT!! I AM NEITHER YOUR ROSEBUD NOR I AM YOUR WIFE!! NOR I AM A VALENTINO NOR I AM A KNIGHT, I AM ONLY ROSALINE!! DO YOU HEAR ME? I AM ONLY ROSALINE, NOTHING ELSE!! Rosaline screamed on top of her lungs, her chest heaving up and downwith pure rage. Xavier was not at all shocked with her outburst because he expected that. After all he was the one who was responsible for breaking her into pieces. But his heart clenched when he heard her calling him as not his. His throat clogged up as he couldn't digest this mere fact that the girl whom he had always loved h
