Previously,
I was so caught up with my thoughts when I heard the door creak opened, but I didn't bother to look up as I thought it could be any of my co workers finally coming. But boy, I was so wrong.
Venessa's P.O.V
"Ehi, ecco la mia rosa", (hey, there my little rose) said a deep voice at the door making me shot my head up so fast that I thought I would break my neck.
I didn't quite understand what he said, but I didn't bother much as I was too busy gaping at him.
There he stood at the door, wearing a fine fitted Armani suit. At that moment, my brain completely shut down.
I sat at the chair hypnotized by the Greek god standing in front of me and I would be absolutely lying, if I say that I am not enjoying the sight in front of me.
I stood up from my chair almost stumbling as my legs started to feel like a jelly that is really unstable whenever he's around.
"Umm, can I help you?", I questioned him, careful not to stutter.
Really that's what you got? You're embarrassing yourself, sister. Says my stupid inner Venessa.
He proceeded towards me, and my heartbeat in process started to beat furiously hard, that I can hear it in my ears, and I would not be surprised if he too, can hear it .
He stood in front of me, not too close and not too far.
I lifted my head up to look at his face as he's too tall.
Um no, he's not tall, it's you, you're too short. Says inner Venessa. I swear this girl does not know when to speak and when not to.
Hell, this guy is really handsome, I'll not be surprised if he is a model. His jaw sharp with slight stubble making him look more drool worthy and his grey eyes almost looking black and his lips... snap out of it, Vanessa and focus...
"Is there anything I can help you with?" I questioned again thinking he probably did not hear me the last time.
But instead of answering my question, he did not. He just stood there looking at my face as if he was memorizing every feature of my face.
Heat started to rise up to my cheek as he continued to stare at me deeply.
My head bowed down voluntarily in shyness and to not let him see that he has an effect on me
He lifted my chin up with his thumb and index finger making me look up to him.
My breath hitched as I started to feel myself drowning in those beautiful eyes.
I stepped back creating a distance between us making him frown at me in process." Umm wh... what d...do you want?" I ask stammering no longer able to control it.
"You, my little rose" He answered sounding so calm as if it was quite normal for him to say such things.
Upon hearing what he said, my brows knitted together in confusion.
"Excuse me?", I asked dumbly.
Seriously!?, that's what you got to say after he just confessed that he wants you? Girl you're an idiot!, says inner Venessa.
" You heard me, love", he says in his deep smooth voice. I stared at him in disbelief, this guy's crazy!, I tell myself, not finding any words to say anything.
" You cannot just come here and say that you want me, cause lemme tell you, it won't happen or maybe it will, but in your dreams." I ranted finally finding words to say what I feel.
I expected him to say something or to shout but instead he just looked at me amusingly as if he can't believe what I just said.
Ohh my god, this guy's crazy,
" Yes, I am, crazy for you" he replied. I look up to him and see him slightly smirking.
What the?? Did I just say that aloud?, I find myself asking inner Venessa. I guess you did as he just answered your question, inner Venessa says.
Ohhh my god, I think I'm going crazy. I said to myself waiting to wake up as it all feels like a nightmare for me.
I was so busy with my own thoughts that I didn't even realise that he grabbed my arm, gently but firm and started to drag me with him out of the room. I struggled to keep up with his pace and what happened next is what I never expected to happen.

Venessa's P.O.VOpening my eyes, I laid still in my bed watching the sunrise through the window. My thoughts drifted back with my conversation with Vincent, I thought he would call back but unfortunately; he didn't. I don't exactly know what I want, but I wanted him to call back and force me to talk about what's bothering me.Dragging my body towards the bathroom, I looked at myself at the mirror tracing the bruises I got from Andrew and Leonardo, they're slowly fading away and it is not as dark as it was before but it was still visible, if you would look closely enough.After taking a quick shower, I got dressed and headed downstairs as quietly as I can, since Lynda and Mario are still sleeping. It's still pretty early but I have to go early as I'm opening the diner and also because I can't even go to sleep no matter how hard I tried.Putting on my coat, I head outside and suddenly get slapped by the c
Vincent's P.O.VShe hanged up! She did not even f*cking bothered about what I want to say and it pissed me; it made me so angry that I gripped the phone tight as if it can lessen the anger I'm feeling, but it didn't. I want to kill someone.Standing up, I threw the phone across the wall, feeling the beast inside me waking up. A growl escaped from my mouth as I looked around the room frantically for that piece of f*cking papers. What the f*ck is this shit about?.Advancing towards the corner of the room where the broken bedside table sat, a white folded paper that laid at the floor caught my attention. I bent and picked it up with my hands slightly trembling. I just hope it's not a divorce paper.Unfolding the creased papers, my eyes hastily scanned the entire paper and as once I did, relief flooded inside me but at the same time, I can't help but feel curious about what on hell i
Vincent's P.O.VThese last few days have been chaotic. There's something going wrong with the shipping and someone's leaking information. I'm going crazy, I can't even sleep properly, and on top of that mi rosa left me because of my stupidness.I can't get her face out of my head how she looked when she saw me kissing the maid. I feel ashamed of my own actions. I don't know what came over me for doing what I did.I was too pressurized with work and I remember drinking to ease myself a little, but that maid suddenly came inside, sat at my lap, and started to unbutton my shirt. She started kissing me and just about I was to push her, Venessa saw us.She looked heartbroken and her eyes glistened with tears, she so looked betrayed.And when I followed her to the room, I saw her packing. My hands shook and my heart pounded hard. "Please don't leave me, please don't" were
Venessa's P.O.VReaching Mario's house, I tried my best to flatten my unruly hair. I look like a mess, well; I am a mess. But I don't want Mario and Lynda to worry about me.Pulling the door open, they immediately fill my ears with Mario's laughter. I walked inside and saw that he and Lynda are sitting at the coach conversing with each other animatedly while I stood by the door not wanting to be seen as I can't help but admire both of them and their love for each other.Lynda spotted me and dragged me to sit with them. Which I couldn't deny."Did you have your dinner, my Rosa?"Mario questioned, caressing my hand that is holding his fragile one."Yes, I did. Did you have yours?" I lied, looking away not wanting to get caught.Mario however put his hand on my chin making me look at him, but I don't want to look at him as my heart breaks every
Venessa's P.O.VWearing my diner uniform, I headed downstairs and saw Lynda cooking breakfast. I approached her and greeted her with a good morning and with a smile on my face."Good morning sweetie, did you sleep well?" She questioned, looking at my pale face and dark circles, making me feel conscious as I didn't even bother to cover them up."Yeah, I slept well. Thank you for asking. Where's Mario by the way." I replied trying to make her stop questions, not that I want to share it with her, it's just I don't want to talk about it right now as I don't want to ruin my mood furthermore."He's still in bed. I'm really worried about him" Lynda replied, sadness lacing in her voice and a tear fell from her eyes. I pulled her into a hug and wipe her tears away.''He's going to be fine, don't worry'', I whispered feeling awful just thinking about Mari
Previously.Please tell me you're not serious." He said above whisper looking right into my soul and I can't help but stare right back, still can't believe that he's still the same Vincent whom I thought loves me unconditionally and who's willing to do everything for me.What if he doesn't really love me and what if he is cheating at me from the very first?.Present.Venessa's P.O.VLooking at the man in front of me, I can't help but feel heartbroken. He looks tired, his eyes bloodshot red, and has bags around them. He held my arms, looking at me helplessly with his shoulders slumped. I want to help him, help him lessen his agony, and help him ease his pain. But what about my pain?"Please don't leave. Let me explain please." He begged but I don't want to listen to him. I don't want to hear hi
