Thank you all for waiting this long. Daily updates are now back.
ROSALINEI sat nervously in the restaurant, waiting for Rick to get here. I had called him earlier and his words had been very brief, stern and almost snobbish.I asked him to meet up and he had responded with a simple okay and 'okay' was also the response when I sent him the location of the restaurant. There was no point in lying to Rick. I just had to tell him clearly and I was pretty sure he would come to understand things. He always understood me and this time would be no different. I heard footsteps and I raised my gaze up from my fiddling fingers to see Rick walking into the VIP section, to me. He was dressed casually with a deep frown on his face. "Rick" I called and smiled at him but my warm smile wasn't reciprocated at all. He sat opposite me and dropped his phone on the table. "You wanted to see me" his words remained brief. "Rick? Are you mad about last night?" I asked softly. He had all rights to be mad and angry at me after all, I had left without telling him a thin
ROSALINE Russo's hand was on my waist as we walked over to our table. "Here, beautiful" he pulled out my chair and I sat down, whispering thanks to him. I watch as Russo walked over to the other chair and settled in. "The entire restaurant is booked. Typical of a billionaire" I joked and he chuckled. "Privacy is key... For now" his last two words were an indication that Russo was really thinking about the issue of us going public with our relationship. "I know, right?" I mumbled, reaching for my cutleries as a waitress walked over. She was quiet as she poured the wine into the glasses and took a step back before looking at me with a small smile. "You look very beautiful, Miss." She complimented. "Really? Thank you." I smiled in return and she walked away. "Ah, what do I do? My woman is so beautiful everyone can't take their eyes off her" "You know I got that exact compliment from a waiter last night when I was at the restaurant with... You know who" I preferred not to mentio
AUTHOR'S POVRick was in his living room, a glass of beer in his hands and an almost nonchalant look on his face."I have done the right thing. I did the right thing" he assured himself over and over. The only thing that bothered his mind was Dark Caster's stance on hurting Rosaline. "Rick?" Melinda's voice jolted Rick out of his thought. His nonchalant look turned into a look of surprise as he darted his gaze to Melinda who had a bag in her hand. "You are here?""Yes, I am. I have been calling but you haven't been answering my call. Why are you drinking so much again?" Melinda asked, sitting beside Rick. "Well, I guess I have been drinking a lot these past few days." Rick shrugged his shoulders. "Quite a lot" Melinda affirmed and put a hand to his shoulder. "I thought you and Rosa were getting closer so what's suddenly going on?" Melinda asked, reaching her other hand to the glass of beer and trying to snatch it out of Rick's hands but Rick didn't let her. "Getting closer? Far
RUSSO EL MASSIMO "You're finally going back to work?" Cara questioned, stepping out of the bathroom, dressed in a robe tied quite firmly. I frowned a little at how firmly she had tied the robe. She could have blessed my eyes a bit more by tying it a bit more loosely but perhaps this was the best cause seeing a bit more would have me taking her right back into bed and fucking her all day. "Not yet. I might resume tomorrow though cause my woman will be there." I replied and she giggled. "There we go with your sweet words" she walked towards me and hit my chest lightly, making me chuckle. "Cara" I called, putting my left arm around her waist. "Have you considered what I told you?" I questioned, looking at her face, studying her face even more carefully. Every single time I stare at her face, her beauty awes me all over again."Told me? About what?" She asked, with a small upwards pout to her lips. "About becoming the CEO, Cara." I replied and she frowned instantly, that cute pout
ROSALINE MASSIMO I was dressed in a beautiful, diamond studded white dress that completely blew my mind. I had worn lots of dresses in my lifetime but this... This one was just spectacular and outstanding! It was stunning! I could feel my own heart pounding hard within my ribcages as I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked breathtaking in this dress. "It's so beautiful!" I whispered and a blush crept up my cheeks as I wondered what exactly the occasion was for tonight. What exactly was Russo planning?My stomach tightened with sweetness as I thought of him officially asking me out. That... That would drive me crazy.For a moment, I wondered what Melinda would say if she saw this dress on me. She would definitely go crazy over it! I should call her soon too. It had been a while since we last talked. I looked away from the mirror and picked up the diamond jewellery set Russo had given to me for my birthday. I accessorised myself and twirled in front of the mirror, cracking a smi
AUTHOR’S POV “Tim, it absolutely isn’t what you think it is” Rick called out, banging at the door of Tim's place. Tim had very obviously left Melinda’s place and returned to his own place. Just by the door were two luggages that definitely contained Melinda’s things. “Tim, I know you can hear me. Please open the door, let’s at least talk this out. I was wrong, okay? But I really would never do such a thing to…” The door opened and a swollen faced Tim stood in front of Rick. Tim looked all shades of sad and he looked like he had wiped off his tears several times before stepping out to open the door. Rick felt his heart breaking at the sight. He had known Tim for quite a long time now but this was the very first time he was seeing Tim in this state. Tim had always been the happiest of their little friend circle. He was always all over Melinda, rarely got sad and was certainly very optimistic and easygoing. ‘Fuck’ Rick cursed in his head. Why had he drank so much last night? Why had
RUSSO EL MASSIMOI was going crazy, out of my mind. Different thoughts ran into my head, all revolving Cara. I sure as hell would not have sent anyone to pick her up! I sure as hell was going to pick my woman up personally!I knew shits like these happened and that it could happen anytime but I guess I had been too much into thinking about all the things I could do to make Cara happy that I fucking forgot to add more safety measures in place. I had been engrossed figuring out how to make our relationship fucking public that I hadn't paid much attention to the parts where the most attention was needed. “Fuck!” I cursed loudly and slammed my fist against the wheels of the car. If those bastards cause as much as a scratch on her, I would ruin and kill everything they have, their lives, their families. I would spare no one, not even their very distant relatives would be spared if Cara gets hurt in the slightest.I looked at her current location and stepped harder on the accelerator. The
RUSSO EL MASSIMO I alighted the car and slammed the door shut, rage clearly written on my face as I pulled out my gun. I walked through the midst of my men with their cars parked all around and stopped when I set my eyes on Dark Caster who was standing by the entrance if his home, his men around him and behind him. "You are here, Massimo I was wondering for what reason your men came to my home, all armed and unfriendly. Now, that you are here, you will surely be willing to explain...""Give her back to me" I cut him off, having enough of his talks. "Give her back? And what would you mean by that?" He questioned and I groaned before shooting at one of his men. A groan of pain filled the air as I stepped closer to him. "We can avoid this bloodbath that I am definitely going to win. Just give her back to me right now in one piece and I will consider sparing you.""I still do not understand what you are talking about, Mr. Massimo. You come to my home, shoot one of my men and ask for
