ROSALINE

ROSALINEI walked in through the large double doors of my father's house and headed for the living room where I'd find one of my family members. I hated coming here. The only reason I came here was to check on my mom.But today was different."Rose!" I was suddenly engulfed in a hug by Lisa. I smiled as I hugged her back. She was my younger step sister and the only thing closest to a real sister that I had. I wished she was my real sister though."I'm glad you came. I haven't seen you in like two weeks," she said to me as we walked into the living room. "Dad sent for me," I said. "How is everything?" I asked her. "Everything is fine. Can you believe I'm going to graduate in two months with first class in business?" she asked me excitedly and I chuckled.She followed me into the kitchen and I went to the bar to grab one of the expensive bottles of tequila. "I'm proud of you, little sis," I said as I poured myself a glass and turned to face her. "I'm following after you. You're my role

ROSALINE"Rose"I looked up from the file I was holding to see Henry walk in. he was part of the head doctors of this hospital and a friend. I kept him as a friend because I knew he liked me more than one.I knew better than to let him in. being born into the mafia had a lot of consequences for me. I couldn't have close friends, just superficial ones that won't actually care if I was missing.It was better that way."How's the patient?" I asked him. He shrugged, "He woke up after the surgery and began to ask if I was his boyfriend." I chuckled, "That's amusing."He scoffed and went to sit on the chair in front of me. "Are you ready to go on a coffee date with me now?" he asked with a pout. To be honest, he looked so cute and I had a little crush on him. His dirty blonde hair was always tidy and matched his dark green eyes. Not to mention how tall he was and he was also a gentleman."I'm a very busy person, Henry," I said to him. He blew a sigh, "Oh come on, Rose. Should I kneel?""Do

ROSALINEA yawn left me when I woke up. I frowned when I noticed that my surrounding was different.'You're no longer home, idiot!' a little voice screamed in my head making me roll my eyes. My room was still dark even though light was peaking from the thick blinds of the window. I could still make out figures. Surprisingly, I found out that I wasn't going to share a room with my husband. I haven't even seen that man's face not to even talk about speaking to him.The moment we were done with the wedding at the church, he didn't even allow me to say goodbye to my family before dragging me into a car and taking me to the airport.Arrogant jerk!My phone began to ring and I picked it up. I smiled when I saw who was calling."Are you dead yet?" Lisa's quiet voice filled my ears making me laugh. "I'm still breathing, thankfully," I said and she let out a sigh of relief. "I couldn't eat properly when I didn't find you. Blaze told me you had left and I nearly fainted," she confessed."You

ROSALINEI have spent two days in this place. I rarely left my room because I didn't want to come across Alexei. I only came out for breakfast and dinner and to also look after my mother. But today was different. I needed to exercise my muscles before I become bored out of my mind. I was missing the hospital so badly. Thanks a lot father.I was wearing a pair of jean shorts and an oversized green round neck today. The afternoon was hot and I didn't want to be all sweaty. "Anya?" I called as I walked into the kitchen. "Yes, dear?" she turned around with a smile. I giggled when I saw flour on her apron."What are you making?" I approached her to see that she was kneading dough. "Ooh, I'm making Vera's favorite snack. Alexei's parents are coming over and I know his sister will be very hungry," she said and my eyes widened.His parents were coming over?He couldn't even tell me!How nice of him."Do you know where the library is?" I asked her. "Oh yes. It's down the hallway, about thre

ROSALINEI needed to leave this house. I couldn't just stay in this place forever. I need fresh air.So with that motivation, I got dressed in a pair of black yoga pants and a black crop top. It's not like I would be allowed to go anywhere so I would just take a look outside the house. Alexei hadn't been home for the past two weeks and I have been happy but slightly worried. I think it is normal for a wife to be worried about her husband.I slipped on my Jordans and walked out of my room. I walked down the stairs and entered the living room only to see Alexei walking in, holding a bloody arm along with two other people.My eyes widened and I ran to him, "What the fuck happened to you?""Don't yell at me," he glared at me as he moved past me. I glared behind him but someone tapped my shoulder as I was about to take a step forward."He got shot in the arm," a brown haired guy said. "Thanks," I said and went to drag Alexei to the kitchen. "I saw a first aid box here," I said as I pushe
