ROSES ON FIRE HE'S BACK!
RiccardoI was there, heart thumping, my words hanging heavy in the air. The dressing room was so small I felt suffocated, like the walls were closing in on me. It was the moment I had been waiting for and dreading at the same time. Clarissa knew the truth now. I had told her I loved her.Those three words never came out of my mouth to a woman before. Love was always a mystery to me, something I never wanted to explore. It wasn’t the same with Clarissa. She found her way into the depths of my heart, uncovered all my emotions, and left me vulnerable. I was completely in love with her.When I exposed my true self to her, I felt relieved but also super anxious. What if she didn’t feel the same? I was so scared of being turned down, it felt like it could completely destroy me.But there was something that made my already mixed-up mind even more jumbled. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the cellist, who had been on my mind for ages, was really Clarissa. The way she played the cello, t
ROSES ON FIRE LIKE IT OR HATE IT
ClarissaI didn’t expect this. Morning found me with a big mug of coffee by the pool. Riccardo took off. Perhaps avoiding him was the way to go. I remember just standing there, gazing into Riccardo’s eyes while he confessed his love for me. I couldn’t believe it, but time just froze, a moment I never expected to come. But to be honest, I wasn’t sure if he meant what he said. How could he love me? How could he, a mobster, a cold-blooded killer, claim to feel such a tender emotion?All these memories of the pain he caused me and my sis came flooding back. The scars, both physical and emotional, kept reminding me of the hell he put us through. The horrors we witnessed, the innocence ripped away; it was all etched into our souls. And now, he had the nerve to say those three words that meant so much.He did not know what love was, never learned the language. He was all about power, control, and being ruthless. How could he even get what it means to really give a damn about someone else? T
ROSES ON FIRE GOD DAMN IT, I LOVE YOU!
RiccardoCello Clare wouldn’t be able to outsmart me again. I trusted no one else to do this job, and I took it upon myself.Their duet was fantastic. As soon as they finished, they retreated to their dressing rooms. It was my opportunity to go after her. The first time she got away, now there would be no one to save her. I walked down the long hallway backstage to the dressing rooms, searching for a door with her name on it. And the moment I found it my heart started pounding. Cello Clare was just beyond the door and had no security guards around. My hand lingered inches away from the doorknob of her dressing room. Cello Clare was on the other side, preparing to leave. My heart was beating fast with both excitement and fear.She had a certain something that just pulled me in. I had lost count of how many times I had watched her play. She was just so amazing on that cello. Fate had it planned all along, me meeting her right now. Or maybe it was my obsession with her. I didn’t quite
ROSES ON FIRE MY BOUNDARIES
CLARISSAThe grandeur of Diamond Hall was almost overwhelming as I stood backstage, taking it all in. The ornate chandeliers, the polished marble floors, and the sheer size of the auditorium filled me with both awe and apprehension. This was the moment I had been eagerly expecting in my career; performing on a prestigious stage alongside the renowned violinist, Pierre.With every passing moment, the excitement I felt about stepping into the spotlight waned, and I felt increasingly uneasy. My curiosity got the best of me, and I couldn’t help but poke my head through the curtain, scanning the sea of faces in the audience, trying to spot someone I knew. And maybe someone I didn’t want to see there. My heart skipped a beat when I spotted him - Riccardo.Surrounded by a group of imposing bodyguards, he sat in the VIP box with Fabrizio by his side. Seeing him caused my spine to tingle with fear. The man who held the key to my past but the one who didn’t know my secret identity as Cello Clar
ROSES ON FIRE PERFECT TUNE
CLARISSAWith Hannah’s help, I could make a successful escape from the clutches of Riccardo’s house. She let him know that the two of us were heading to the shops. That we didn’t want any companionship, and that she would make sure that I got back home safe and sound. It was truly remarkable how much trust Riccardo had in Hannah.“Didn’t I tell you it would be easy to get out of the house?” “That’s right, you did. Walk with me to Pierre’s house and stay while he and I rehearse for Sunday’s performance. I will not leave you alone.” “You mean stay there with you two? No way! I’ll leave you two alone and I’ll even go to the nearby clothes shops. We really have to come home with our bags full or Riccardo will get suspicious.” “Oh God, you’re right. I hadn’t thought of that. What would I do without you?” I said and took her in my arms right in front of the cottage by the sea.“Okay, when you’re done, call me and I’ll pick you up.” “Deal!” “See you!” she said and disappeared into the d
ROSES ON FIRE AN OPPORTUNITY I CAN'T MISS
CLARISSAIt feels like just yesterday that I returned to Riccardo’s house, yet an entire week has passed. Hannah has been staying with us for that entire time.The sound of my phone ringing caught me off guard. I was relieved to find out that only Hannah was next to me.“Hello?”“Clarissa? It’s Pierre,” he said in one breath. “I am sorry I disappeared like that. I haven’t forgotten about the promise we made to perform together, have you?” he asked, his tone more jovial.How could I forget? Only it wasn’t the right time now.“Of course, I remember. How have you been?” I asked, diverting the conversation a bit.“I’ve been great, Clarissa! But that’s not why I’m calling. It’s time to keep that promise of ours. I’ve gone ahead of you and signed you up for a performance at Diamond Hall this weekend,” he blurted. “Wait, this weekend? Pierre, I wasn’t expecting that. I hadn’t performed in ages, and the idea of doing it at Diamond Hall makes me nervous.” I tried to excuse myself.“I know, I
