ROSALINE 47
ROSALINE"Where are you heading to, ma'am?" one of the guards asked when I got to the gate. I couldn't believe the gate was so far from the mansion. But I guess it was for safety reasons.Swallow the lump I felt in my throat, I faked the most realistic smile I could muster. "Well, the weather seems nice for a walk. Don't you think?" I asked him. The other guards looked at each other with confused looks."We can get a car and escort you," the man in front of me said. I shook my head and waved him off, "There's no need for that. I will be back in nothing more than an hour. So, please open the gate."They gave me a hesitant look but I widened my smile to convinced them. It worked, thankfully.I thanked them as they opened the gate and I walked out.There were no buildings in this area. Only trees and a road path. I exhaled, running my hand through my hair and began to walk down the road. I hoped Alexei and Vlad were still alive.When I got to the main street, I hailed a taxi to take me

ROSALINE"What the hell?" Boris was enraged as he stormed towards the door. He walked out and it remained only the two men. I heard gunshots and a loud bang again. I exhaled shakily.I looked at Alexei who raised a brow at me. I nodded in response. He looked away from me and my gaze fell on his thigh. It had slowly stopped bleeding but he needed to be treated quickly.I didn't want to cry but it was so hard not to. I sniffled. Every part of me wanted to rip free and run to him. Even though he didn't let it show, I knew he was hurting.The door was slammed open, catching my attention and Yeka walked in holding a gun and covered in blood. Without a word, she shot the man behind me before he could move. "You bi-" the other man was about to punch her but she kicked his groin and shot him in the head. "Babe, sorry I took long," she ran to me and untied me. "Thank you," I sniffled as she helped me up.We ran to the guys and began to untie them. "I'm so sorry," I choked out when my hand tou

ROSLINEMy heart ached as I looked at him. His usually glowing skin was now pale. Even his lips were pale pink. I knew he lost a lot of blood. My chest felt heavy at the thought of losing him. "I'm so sorry," my voice came out broken. My eyes burned with hot tears as I placed my hand on his cheek. He felt a little warm under my palm but it did nothing to stop the ache in my heart."You're always getting hurt because of me," I sniffled and exhaled. This wasn't the first time he'd get injured all because of me. I was like a magnet of problems for him."I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," tears were falling down my cheeks. They were fat and ugly but I didn't care. They pain I caused Alexei was much more than this. "I'll make it up to you. I'll be a submissive wife, I promise. I won't ever defy your orders, I'll be good," I couldn't stop crying.ALEXEIThe pain I felt was too much and it was annoying. But what woke me from my sleep was a familiar cry. A cry that filled me with guilt.I opened my e

EIGHT MONTHS LATERROSALINEA yawn left me as I opened my eyes to the sunlight on my face. With a groan, I turned around to face my other side. I was having a slight headache and I was also tired from staying up all night to feed Diana. Even my breasts hurt at the moment.I looked at the time on the wall clock to see that it was already noon. I've been asleep all morning. "I deserve a vacation," I moaned as I stretched my sore limbs. My phone began to ring and irritation filled me immediately. "Why would anyone be calling me at this time?" I huffed as I searched for the scrap of metal on the bed before getting it in my hands.After my previous phone was smashed into pieces, Alexei got me a new one. Me, being a woman that loves good camera squealed in happiness when I was gifted an iPhone 15. Really, I didn't care about whether it was cool or not, I just loved the camera. But I preferred Samsung though."WHAT?" I snapped to whoever was calling me. "Damn, woman. There's no need to be a

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 2
ROSALINEI walked into the plain room that was dim due to the thick blinds covering the large windows. "I thought I told Lauren to stop pulling them down in the morning," I mumbled as I walked over to the blinds and pulled them up so light could come into the room.I put the key back in my purse and made my way to large king sized bed where my mother laid unconscious."Good morning, mom," I mumbled as I took a seat on a stool beside the bed. Once again, I was greeted with silence. I had grown used to it over the years but yet, I wasn't used to it."It's been about a week or two," I started as I looked at the woman on the bed. I got all my looks from her. "I got a raise and a promotion three days ago. It was surprising but it seemed like the whole hospital knew about it, I was the only one who had no clue," I said with a chuckle.It was my usual practice to come here once in a while to tell my mother things I couldn't tell anyone. Only Lauren, Blaze and I had the key to this place. A

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

ROSALINEToday was wedding day. I'm supposed to be happy, I know.Happiness was far from what I was feeling at the moment."You look beautiful. Like a queen this time," Lisa said to me. I couldn't smile because I wasn't happy at all. The makeup artist did well to give me a light makeup.The door opened and I could see Catherine and Kimberly walk in from the reflection of the mirror. I rolled my eyes knowing they were only coming here to spit nonsense like they usually do. "So you were finally able to put your useless self to use," Catherine snickered. "Mom!" Lisa glared at her. her mother waved her off, "Learn to shut that mouth of yours if you don't know what to say." "Aren't you meant to be in the church?" I asked her with a bored tone. Catherine narrowed her eyes at me. "You're lucky there's a mother figure in your life," she sneered and I rolled my eyes."I'm sure your head will be sent back here in the next two months after they find out how useless and pathetic you are," Kimbe
