Vincent's P.O.V
A week after my phone call with my little rose, I came to find out from Marco that rose's parents' accident was actually planned, meaning that someone wanted to kill them so they decided to temper the car they used that day in order to kill them without making anyone suspicious, and after a few days of investigating, we found out that the rival mafia in Russia was responsible for it as the Clays owed them a large sum of money which they failed to return and at that time they didn't know that the Clays have a daughter but unfortunately just a few days ago they found out about her and now they're hell-bent on finding who the girl is and as far as I know the Russians mafia, they are ruthless, they rape girls and kill them once they get bored.
But I promised myself that I'll die before I let something happen to my little rose. I will do anything in my power to protect her even if it means her, hating me.
I now plan to marry Rose so in that way she will be my wife and no one will ever hurt her as no one messes with Vincent De Costello's wife.
I had this whole thing planned, but the problem is that I don't think rose will agree to marry me, I mean from looking at the way she behaved that day in the diner, she no doubt is scared of me and it will definitely take her some time to realize that she can trust me but by the time she realizes that I guess it will be too late.
The Russians are already too close, finding out about her, it's just a matter of time before they find out about her identity.
I have to act fast if I want to save her but I can't exactly do that without her hating me.
Finally coming up with a plan, I and the boys head to Mario's diner early in the morning to meet rose, last night while we're planning on how to make my rose agree on marrying me, I called Mario to tell rose to come early in the morning so that there will be fewer people which will make it easier for us.

Waking up, I took a shower and wore one of my nicest suits and tried to make myself look presentable for her.
Reaching the diner, I and the boys got seated, and not long after Mario came in and sat with us.
"What's going on inside that head of yours, Vince?" Mario questioned going straight to the point, with a wave of slight anger in his voice.
I sat back and appreciated silently that he really cares for my rose even though she is not even related to him by blood.
Realizing that he's not in the mood, I went straight to the topic. I explained everything to him, without missing a single detail.
After hearing me, Mario rubbed his forehead with his hand contemplating his decision.
"You better take care of Venessa, she's a sweetheart and she's been through a lot already and she doesn't deserve any of this, and also you must promise that you will let her go whenever she decides she wants to leave you," Says Mario, looking at us with a tired expression on his face that reminds us that he's really getting old.
" I know, I promise to you that I won't let anything happen to her and I will let her go whenever she wants me to..." I replied looking very sincere but can I really leave her? Can I ever let her go just like that? That I don't know.
"You must not tell her you're involved in this plan, Mario," I added.
Mario nods his head agreeing and as I was about to open my mouth to say something when I saw the front door opened revealing my sweet little rose, and upon seeing us she stopped and looked at us with her mouth hanging open and her hazel eyes wide open. I smirked knowing she didn't expect us this early.
Just as I was about to get up from my seat to talk to her, she hastily turned around and went in another direction, probably wanting to hide herself from me but little did she know, she will be seeing me more than she wants.

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
