She woke up in the middle of the night. She felt the craving to eat something. Her gaze rested on her husband. She couldn't take her eyes off him. He was so handsome, so strong. Her fingers itched to slither through his dark silky hair. She shook her head with crimson cheeks.
Her hunger was pushing her to get up. She put her feet down and paced out of the room. Her feet halted when she saw Vanessa Hudgens standing out of the door.
She narrowed her eyes at her, and her smile faded. She closed the door behind her, softly, "What are you doing out of our room?" She asked in irritation. She didn't like her.
"It's my duty to protect you, ma'am," Vanessa said in her robotic voice.
Would that! I could find a button to switch off you. - she thought.
She began to pace toward the staircase, "I'm with my husband. I don't need you. Shoo," She gestured with her hand to go her away.
"Sorry, ma'am. Boss has strictly asked staff to follow his order," She said.
She whirled, still glaring at her. Her forehead scowled, "Just disappear. Or I'll tie your mouth, hands, and feet and lock you in the cupboard." She threatened her.
Vanessa's eyes widened. But she hid her fear by clearing her throat and looking around.
She twirled and climbed down the stairs. Her smirk was broad on her face. She didn't try to hide it. Her false threat worked.
Her pace slowed when she saw Danil in the hall, sitting on the couch. His feet were placed on the coffee table, the laptop rested on his thighs. Her face lit up as she guessed from his smile who could be on the other side.
She scurried forward and stood behind the couch. Her hands gripped the side of the couch as she bent down with a full smile on her face.
"Rose! What are you doing out of your room at this time of the night," Isha looked fully shocked with her presence behind him.
"Hi," She waved her hand at the screen, " You didn't call me today." Her frown returned on her face.
Danil spun and glanced at her with creased brows, "Are you okay?" He asked, getting on his feet, still holding the laptop.
She flashed a full grin, "I'm hungry." She said and turned to the kitchen.
"I'll talk to you later," She heard him behind her.
She was glad that Vanessa wasn't following her. But her irritated look returned when she saw her on the other side of the counter.
"What do you like to eat?" She asked.
"You!" She said in exasperation.
Danil laughed, "She's helping you, Rose."
"She goes everywhere, where I go. She's irritating. Very irritating." She snorted, sweeping her eyes around, "She doesn't leave me alone when I'm with my family, my husband." She grabbed a tomato and hurled it at her.
Danil laughed and caught it before it could hit on her face. He motioned at Vanessa to leave.
She bowed her head and walked out of the kitchen.
"She's here to protect you," Danil said and took out his phone. She hovered his thumbs over the display holding it between his hands.
"I hate that robot." She opened the refrigerator and peered in. She got confused.
"Rose, Liam will be soon downstairs to find you. You're not allowed to cook. Let me help you." He said.
"I'm hungry but I can't decide what I should eat." She lowered her head.
"You don't need to be disappointed. Pick one sweet or salty?" Angelina asked, walking into the kitchen hurriedly.
"Sweet," She smiled at her, "You can appoint her as my bodyguard." She told Danil.
They laughed, "It's impossible, Rose." She took the fruits out of the refrigerator. Instantly, she began to wash them.
Rose tiptoed and sat on the counter, "One week and she'll be here with us," She clapped her hands happily.
Danil smiled, "Does brother know?" He asked.
She shook her head, "You can go back to your laptop."
He shook his head, "Please, prepare it for me too, Angelina." He said.
"Yes, sir." She nodded, hurrying. When the fruits were washed she began to chop them.
"Shouldn't you be sleeping? I disturbed you." She asked Angelina.
" I was talking to Mil. When Danil sir messaged me. You didn't disturb me, Rose. You remind me of the days when I was pregnant." A small smile stretched on her lips. It made her forget her fear.
She wanted to ask a lot of questions but held herself because of Danil.
"Happy days end soon," Angelina muttered under her breath.
"Do you need anything? I can arrange." She said as she felt her sadness.
"I'm happy." She smiled, "I didn't expect I would say it after my husband's death. My baby girl is achieving her dreams. I'm content with my job and you came into my life like an angel. You took away all the sorrow."
She returned the smile. She was looking relieved to hear it, "I'm not an angel," She giggled.
"Are you expecting wings?" All heads turned to the doorway. Liam walked into the kitchen barefoot. He ran his hand in his hair and flashed a warm smile at his wife.
' You're my wings. ' But she only blushed, lowering her gaze.
Danil whispered something. He paid full attention and turned his gaze to her, giving him a full nod.
She smelled the air. She was cooking eggless fruit custard, "My mouth is watering." She told her.
Angelina smiled at her, between her stirring the custard, "Would you like to eat cooked sprouts in the morning?" She asked.
"Cooked sprouts? But I like them raw." She told him.
Angelina shook her head, "You're pregnant, Rose. You have to be careful what you eat. Cooked is good for you," She said.
She didn't know anything so she just nodded her head. She felt Liam's gaze on her. She couldn't raise her eyes to meet him in her nervousness.
She slipped off the counter and sauntered out of the kitchen. He held her wrist. Her heart began to beat in her ears. He curled his arm around her tugging her to his chest, "Shouldn't you wake me up?" He asked in a whisper.
She shook her head. Danil's phone began to ring. He excused himself.
She tried to pluck herself away from him. But his gaze stopped her.
"You were sleeping. I'm home, by the way." She said.
"Next time..." She cut him off.
"No, your guards can't follow me when I'm home." She said.
Her heart began to drum. She never cut him off. She dared to look up. He was smiling at her.
"Hm," He tugged her toward the couch.
His smile was still on. She couldn't hold back the shock she perceived.
Liam Rodriguez She lowered her head. He knew her from the core of her heart and understood everything without her explaining. He fastened his cuffs. His gaze didn't avert away from her. She was Capo's wife and her brother, father-in-law were bosses too. But she was brought up in a different environment. "Rose," He whispered, but enough for her listening. She forced a smile on her face when she glanced up at him. He gave her a look, clearly demanding the reason behind her sadness. "Vanessa follows me everywhere. I hate it. Sometimes, I wanna hide myself. So, she couldn't find me." She blurted in annoyance. His expression hardened as she spoke her mind out. He never wanted her out of his sight. The mere thought of her going away, pumped his heart faster, and surge the wave of anger through his entire body. His jaw tickled as he tried to rein in his anger. Which wasn't his personality until Rose happened in his life. "She's protecting you from an unknown
His phone rang, breaking the silence of his office. He didn't peer down at the screen before answering the call, "They'll come to Lily Mansion." Nicholas said through the speaker. He had built the place in remembrance of his mother. He was considering her dead. One day when Dean showed up in his office. Someone tried to kidnap his wife and he helped her. That was the first time he had glimpsed his mother. "Ok," He grabbed the keys from the desk and shuffled out of the office. Danny and his reinforcements came to his side immediately. He dialed a number and hosted up his phone. "Kairo, I want you home." He said. "Don't worry. They'll be safe." He shoved the phone in his pocket as he made his way out of the building. "Sharpshooters have been appointed as you instructed, Boss," Danny said. "Stay with Danil. He may need you in the office." He ordained him. Danny looked hesitant for a second, but he bowed his head, "Okay, boss.
Rose Lily patted her head affectionately, "Everything is done," She said, getting on her feet. She was looking exhausted but happy. "Yes, shopping is done." She told her with a smile. She wasn't allowed to go out. Her mother-in-law Olivia arranged everything in the house. "Let me know if you need anything," Olivia said, dismissing Todd. She wanted to go out and visit every store before her brother-in-law's wedding. A plan was already hovering in her mind. She stayed put, waiting to be alone. Vanessa wasn't around her. She grabbed a magazine randomly and began to shuffle the pages, trying to show interest. When the path was clear, she got on her feet. She quickened her pace out. She slowed her pace near the garage. There were guards. But they couldn't question her. It wasn't their duty. But they would inform Liam. She was silent as she climbed into the car. But her eyes were filled with happiness. She was glad that Vanessa wasn't ar
LIAM RODRIGUEZ Tenderly, he ran his knuckles on her cheek, "Her blood pressure is low, boss." He heard the sixth doctor. He didn't want to repeat what happened in the past. "I'll bury you alive twenty feet down in the earth." He snarled at them. They looked frightened of him. He could see some of them sweating and some shivering. "Liam, she's fine." Olivia paused, looking at him, "Let them go," "Mother," His hard gaze cut through the queue of doctors, glancing down at the floor. "Liam," Nicholas peered at him. He waved his hand at them. The doctors didn't take more than a few seconds to shuffle out of the room. "Mierda, I'll kill them all," He slithered his hand in his hair, and his gaze returned to his wife. It was rude. He couldn't endure seeing her in this condition.Rose She sat herself up, wincing, finding everyone in the room and looking at her. She pushed herself back. The bedrest stopped her further movement. S
She glanced at sleeping Emerald. The corners of her lips curled up, imagining her baby, "How does it feel to hold the tiny bundle for the first time?" She asked, with a soft smile. "I was scared to hold her first. She was so small. Her eyes were closed, wailing. I can't explain my happiness. You're going to feel it soon." Chuckled Alena. She giggled and lowered her lashes in shyness. "Momma," Selena stormed inside the room. Alena put her index finger on her lips, gesturing to her to be quiet. There was a hint of a smile. Selena looked at sleeping Emerald and nodded her head, "Grandma is looking for you, momma." She said in a low voice, looking up at her. "I'll be back," She told her and threaded her way out of the room. She liked to spend time with her family. She was still trying to know her. She liked to spend time with the little one of the family. A soft smile touched her lips as she saw her brother Caspian in the hall, "Rose," He
RoseHer red lips curled in a broad smile as she saw Ana and Isha walking toward her. Mr. and Mrs. Fernandez and Mr. and Mrs. Pinto were coming in behind them. Olivia welcomed them. The ceremony was going to be held in Lily mansion. Isha and her family were going to stay there until the wedding. "I was waiting for you two, " She said as they shared a group hug. Isha and Ana pulled back and looked at her stomach, "How's baby? How are you? How does it feel?" They showered questions upon her. She giggled softly, "We're fine. Thank you. I'm feeling on nine clouds." Her eyes averted at Mrs. Fernandez when she placed her hand on her shoulder, "How are you, dear?" Mary asked her gleefully as she took her in a hug. "Auntie, I'm good. How was your flight?" Mary was a mother figure to her. She always enjoyed her company and always thought about her mother being around her. Mary's hand touched her cheek tenderly, "All good, dear. Congratulations." She kis
Rose Dread was visible on her cute baby face. She ran her hand on her round stomach. Her lavender gown was loose around her six-month pregnant stomach, almost hiding her pregnancy. The end of her hair was curled and falling behind her back. One more time, she sprayed the mist behind her ears, hoping it would block the smell of alcohol. "Momma, why are we not with Isha aunt?" It was Selena's demand to wear pink on the wedding day "Because she's going to come to our home. It'll be her home too. You should go with your grandma if you want to be with them." She looked up at her. Her pink princess dress was reaching her knees, it was puffy from down her waist, "But I can't leave you and baby alone. Dad won't be happy with it." A frown settled on her forehead. She smiled, "I'm not alone. Guards are outside the door. You can check." Her thin lips pressed together. She didn't look away. It made her smile. "Okay, just scream a
He leaned close so his presence towers over her, confiscating any type of personal space she could have. 'I'm glad my wedding was simple. No one was shouting, bed her! Bed her! That would be so embarrassing. Kairo is worried. But it's baseless. Isha would never come between their brotherhood. We have talked about it. I always spray mist to keep the unpleasant scent away from me. Liam is careful to come around me when he's drunk. He gets rid of the smell before returning to me.' She wanted to tell Kairo not to think too much. But Liam asked her to go. Kairo's hand was bleeding. He clasped the glass so hard that it shattered and pierced the skin of his hand. Reluctantly, She spun and walked away with Travis and two more guards. Liam stayed with Kairo. He needed stitches. She drifted her gaze around. Rick was surrounded by guards, instructing them. She darted her eyes around to see her elder brother. He was nowhere to be seen. She swallowed in
