Venessa's P.O.V
He dragged me out of the changing room and strode towards the front door of the diner.
As we reached the parking lot, I noticed that we were walking to the expensive-looking car that I saw earlier in the morning,
of course, I should've known, I thought to myself, mentally rolling my eyes.
All of a sudden, he stopped walking making me bump at his stone-like back.
"Ouchh" I whispered rubbing my forehead.
He turned to look at me and muttered a small sorry.
I glanced up to him seeing his face laced with concern. I didn't know mafia leaders say sorrys.
" What is it that you really want?," I asked him, slightly annoyed.
He sighed, as he rubbed his forehead. "Get in" he stated gesturing towards the car.
"Excuse me? kindly tell me one good reason, why on earth will I do that?" I responded to him raising my voice to let him know that I'm not someone he can just order around.
"I need a favour from you, rosa", he uttered, looking directly into my eyes as if he was trying to make me believe that he is not messing around but completely serious.
I stared back at his eyes, completely hypnotized by him.
" Uhhh, wh..what can you possibly want from me?" I found myself asking him.
" It's a long story, get inside the car so that I can explain it properly to you" he replied, opening the passenger door for me.
I looked up to him, hesitating whether or not to trust him.
I mean he's a complete stranger, what if he kills me and cuts my body into pieces?.
Don't be ridiculous sis, you're not that important and what will he get by doing that?, reasoned inner Venessa and for the first time, she's right.
Too caught up with my own thoughts, he suddenly spoke, reminding me that he was still in front of me.
"Don't worry Venessa, I won't kill you. Trust me", he replied with a pleading look in his eyes.
"But how did you know my name, I don't remember telling you?" I mumbled frowning at him but instead of answering my question, he just smirked and gestured towards the car, so I got in.
Once we were both inside, I didn't fail to notice how luxurious the car looks, almost making me feel that I don't belong sitting inside it.
He started the car and soon we were surrounded by an awkward silence.
"Let's get to the point shall we?", I stated, not capable of holding my tongue anymore as curiosity started to eat me up.
" You seem a little impatient, mia rosa" he replied with his lips slightly smiling.
" Why do you keep calling me that? I have a name, you know." I questioned, looking at his side view, fighting really hard not to drool.
" I know, but I want to," he responded, turning to his side to look at me.
After driving for thirty minutes, we stopped at a restaurant. Too fancy for my own liking, I must add, but it's not that I really have a choice.
Stepping inside, everyone in the room started to turn their head to look at us and I would be lying if I say that it's not making me uncomfortable at all. I really hate it when the attention is on me. So, I did what I thought was sensible; I hid behind his back thinking it can save me from the stares and glare that I'm receiving.
Once we got seated, I opened my mouth to ask him again, but he beat me to it. " I think we should order first then we'll talk" he says and starts to look at the menu. At this moment, I was starting to feel like he's intentionally trying to delay our talk as long as he possibly can.
Once we finally ordered, he looked at me intently making me blush harder than I ever did in my whole life. Why does he make me feel like this?, I find myself asking myself, crazy; I know.
As much as I like it when he looks at me like that, I need to know what he wants from me, so I cleared my throat loudly to catch his attention. He looked away and straightened his necktie and said something that almost gave a heart attack.
" Marry me, Venessa."

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.
