ROSALINE 1
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 3
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
ROSALINE 4
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
ROSALINE 5
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
ROSALINE 6
ROSALINEI followed Igor down the large stairs and into a hallway. I couldn't help but admire the paintings that were hung on the wall. I wasn't one that knew a lot about art but I knew enough to tell that the artist was skilled.Everything was beautiful. I didn't even know Igor had stopped until I bumped into his hard back. "Ouch," I mumbled as I rubbed my nose. "Sorry," I heard him mutter and knock on a large door. After two seconds, he opened it and walked in.I frowned. He didn't wait for permission?I followed him in though. I shudder as I was hit by the cold air in the room. The A.C. was surely on."She's here, Boss," Igor said and my eyes fell on the man seated behind the desk. God really has his favorites when he's creating people. Alexei sat at his desk, dressed in a white buttoned down shirt without a tie and two of his buttons undone, letting out a peek of his hard chest. "You sent for me," I cleared my throat before he could catch me staring at him. The last thing I ne
ROSALINE 7
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
ROSALINE 8
ROSALINEI walked out of my closet to see he was still seated there on my bed. "Asshole," I muttered and smoothened my green sundress. He looked up to see me and his infamous smirk settled on his face. I wished I could smack it off his face. "Now, you look like a wife," he got up and approached me. "Thank you for your praise," I rolled my eyes and we walked out of my room. I followed him down the stairs and into the living room."Mom," he called and I saw two females on the couch. One was a lot younger than the other."Alexei, you're back," the older woman said as she stood up. She was beautiful. Very beautiful.She had dark brown hair and baby blue eyes that made her exotic features look soft. I could mistake her for a model."Hello, darling," she approached me with the warmest smile I have ever seen ever since my mom died. My heart moved in my chest and I felt it."Good afternoon, Mrs. Volkov," I stretched my hand with a shy smile. I did not know what to do at all. She laughed an
