ROSALINEShe was terrified. "Baby, can you please tell me how you know that man?" I asked her slowly. She slowly dropped her hand and sniffled. "They killed my mommy and daddy," she gulped and let out a cough."Yes!" Yeka exclaimed and ripped the strap off Blakely's arm before throwing it in the bin. Someone approached us and I relaxed when I realized it was Vlad. "Let's get you guys home," he said and I nodded before turning to Blakely who had rushed to my side."I'm going to take you home. don't worry, you're safe with me," I said to her sweetly and carried her up in my arms.∞It was hard to keep my emotions together as I bathed Blakely. She had nasty wounds and cuts on her skin and a lot of bruises all over her body. I had to wash her carefully so the soap wouldn't sting her.Her little cries as I treated her wounds made my heart clench. This little girl had suffered too much. "It's okay, sweetheart," I was still trying to calm her down as I walked down the stairs.I put her in o

ROSALINEI spent the next day trying to make sure that Blakely felt safe in the house. It was hard. Especially the fact that she was so quiet and would sometimes burst into silent tears. She had a nightmare last night and it took a lot of time before Alexei and I could calm her down.I was glad he cooperated. There was no way in hell I was going to give her out to an orphanage. She wouldn't be able to understand what they were saying and they wouldn't even understand what she went through.Being a doctor, I've treated a few children that suffered in orphanage home. not all orphanages are a wonderful place to be and I was not going to risk Blakely's health."Do you want to eat anything?" she shook her head. I sighed, I knew she was hungry. We had just gotten back from the hospital. Igor followed me there so Blakely could get tested."Anya!" I called as I led her into the kitchen. "Welcome back, dear," the woman turned to face me and smiled at Blakely who held unto my leg in fear."She

ALEXEI"Thank you, Amir," I shook hands with the man and walked back to my car to drive back to the hotel. I needed a drink, a very strong one. "I'm so glad that is over, man," Vlad said with relief as he got in the back seat with me."Ready, boss?" my driver asked and I nodded."Anything from Yeka?" I asked him. I saw his face pale, "Everything is going fine. Do you have any idea why she's giving me an attitude?" I clearly knew what was going on."Did you try asking her?" I asked him. "She walked away immediately. The second time, she held a gun to my face and a knife to my neck and told me to stay at least six feet away from her," he said with a sad sigh.He deserved it though. "Think about what you could have possibly done wrong," I patted his shoulder and brought out my phone. I saw a text from my sister.'I don't understand why we have to go to school, Alexei. Come and take me away. Let us go to Disney land and see Cinderella, please. I don't like how dad is looking so gloomy!'I

ROSALINE"I wish you could see how happy I am. I no longer feel as if something is weighing my chest down anymore. I feel so happy, mom. I can't explain it properly," I said to my mother excitedly as if she could hear me.Christmas was tomorrow and Anya did well to spread the holiday cheer with her Christmas cap always sitting on her head everywhere she goes. It was actually adorable.We even had a large Christmas tree in the middle of the living room with beautiful decorations on it. It was all thanks to Alexei, Vlad and Igor. I loved Christmas so much and seeing the decorations around the house couldn't stop me from being so giddy all the time.Today, Alexei offered to take Blakely out so they could spend some time together. How could I say no?"I love you," I rubbed my mother's hand and walked out of the room. As I made my way to the kitchen, I felt a wave of nausea hit me. Without hesitation, I pulled out a barf bag from my purse and emptied my stomach."Oh, dear. Let me get you s

ROSALINEToday was Christmas.Today was Alexei's birthday.I woke up early than usual. Blakely was still asleep so I took the opportunity to slip out of bed and went to take a shower. When I was done cleaning up, I put on a pair of leggings and a large blue shirt. I brushed my curls and let them rest out of their bun.With that, I walked out of my room and made my way downstairs to the kitchen. No one was around but I spotted Anya walking in from the back door.Perfect!"Good morning, Anya!" I waved at her. she gave me a beaming smile as she approached me. "Merry Christmas," she hugged me and I returned it. "Merry Christmas to you too," I said and we giggled. She was still wearing her Christmas hat."Let's make the ginger breads and proceed to making breakfast," she suggested and I nodded. "Alexei's cake?" I asked. "We shall do that in between. Let's not waste much time and let's be as quiet as possible," she said and I nodded.We began to dance around the kitchen, carrying things fro

ROSALINEI wasn't feeling like myself at all. Today was new year's eve and I was staring at the pretty dress on my bed with disdain. I wasn't in the mood to dress up to anywhere but I had to follow Alexei to his company's party.I wished he could just let me stay home but he insisted that I should be there with him. I wanted to use Blakely as my escape but Alina offered to look after her till we got back.I groaned and looked back at the window. I felt sick, very sick. I wanted to curl up on my bed and sleep the whole day away. I didn't like how I was feeling. I felt like my emotions were overflowing out of my cup.I looked at the clock to see I had only thirty minutes to get ready."Brilliant," I muttered as I quickly stood up and made my way to the bathroom to take a quick shower. When I was done, I slipped on a fresh pair of black lacey panties and a black bra. I then moisturized my skin before going to put on the dress laid out on the bed for me. It was a floor length black dress

ROSALINEShe stared at me like she wanted to kill me. Bitch, the feeling is mutual! "Polina, please excuse us," Alexei said. His voice was calm but I could tell he wasn't happy. She looked at him with surprise, "You can't be serious?""Did he stutter?" I interjected with a raised a brow and stood at akimbo. I could tell Alexei wasn't happy with my behavior but I couldn't care less. Madam Polina glared at me, "I wasn't talking to you." She began to speak in Russian but I waved her off, interrupting her, "Find someone else's man to hump."With that, she huffed and stumped her foot before walking away angrily. I rolled my eyes and turned to Alexei."What was that about?" I glared at him. He sighed, "She's the daughter of a friend. You're supposed to know the type of man I am."I scoffed and crossed my arms. "You go ballistic whenever a guy even looks in my direction, not to talk of approaching me. And now, I can't even tell her to back off? Do I look like a fool to you?" I glared harder

ROSALINEEverything was beautiful. A smile played on my lips as I watched Alexei feed Blakely. She hiccupped and he quickly grabbed a cup of water to hand to her. He held it to her lips and said sweet nonsense to her as she drank from it.It was too cute to watch."Did you like it?" I asked her. she nodded with a wide grin, "Yes, mommy. It's very tasty." "Do you like your food?" Alexei asked me and I nodded with a smile. For the first time, he was dressed in a pair of jeans and a dark blue shirt. He looked so handsome out of his usual suit and tie. His hair was messy and he had a silver chain around his neck. He looked so beautiful and everyone knew it.I was dressed in a floral dress with sandals and so was Blakely. Alexei said something to her in Russian. She replied back in the same language and my jaw dropped. "Did you teach her Russian?" I glared at him. He gave me a grin, "It was hard not to. She's a very fast learner.""Yes, mommy. I've learnt plenty things," Blakely piped
