ROSALINE "There" I was shoved into a room by a hefty man and the door was shut behind me immediately. I shut my eyes tightly and gritted my teeth before kicking my feet hard against the door. I groaned in the pain that came from my action. I turned back and saw that the room was empty. Empty dark, no windows. I let my eyes roam the place until my gaze landed on the little girl in the corner. The girl who seemed to be about age four or five looked scared and she was cuddling her knees. She pulled herself closer to the wall as our eyes met and I knew immediately that I could not get all shaky here. I had to be an adult, I had to be at least a source of hope for this kid even though I could not find that hope myself. "Hey" I called softly, walking towards her. She looked away, a small, scared whimper leaving her lips. I sighed softly and sat beside her, on the floor, quietly. "I am not here to hurt you" I whispered as softly as I could and she slowly lifted her head up to me. "A
RUSSO EL MASSIMO "Give me a quick list of every single person and cartel we've crossed over the past five months." I demanded, feeling my head throbbing. "Yes boss."I had to find Cara tonight. I wasn't going to let her spend the night out there in the hands of some bastard. I was going to find that bastard and then I was going to deal with Dark Caster. The bloody fucker was right. The more seconds passed by, the more my blood boiled, the more my head ached, the more I wanted to pull my hair off. The thoughts of what shit Cara was going through right now had beads of sweat forming on my forehead. I would never be able to forgive myself if anything ever happened to her. "Is there any fucking report from any of the guys?! They are spread out all over the fucking city and can't find her!""We are sorry, boss""Just give me the damn list!" I groaned as Sian approached me. I snatched the list out of his hand and stared at the long list of names. "Fuck" I cursed. I had never been so
Chapter 98 RUSSO EL MASSIMO “Boss, we got the current location of Giovanni. And the places he visited today affirms that he has something suspicious going on today.” Immediately I heard those words, I set out to Giovanni's location and sent Sian to the Carva Bratva instead. Beads of sweats were starting to gather around my forehead and there was no point trying to hide how desperately I needed to find her. There was no point acting in front of others that I didn’t love Cara with every fiber in me. It was obvious to every single person who saw me tonight that I did. The chopper landed and as soon as it had landed, I was stepping out. On other days, I would rather have not taken the chopper. I would have taken a car, less obvious. But I didn’t care how obvious I was being right. I just needed to get her fast. It was a cheap mansion in the middle of nowhere. I stood before the mansion, a few of my men behind me. “Bring out your boss” I demanded. “It’s Massimo. Inform the boss.” “
ROSALINE“Do you think we should do this? Boss voice sounded off and shaky. And the man who spoke before the call ended. I think you should not let here your lust take over in this situation.” The guy who had picked the call said, walking towards us.“It’s fine if you are not going to join in. We will have fun alone”“Please” I turned my pleas to the guy who had spoken earlier, begging him to talk to the others to not touch me.“But when we get into trouble, it would be together. Get off her. You heard what she said earlier. That we are not going to live if we go on with this and I fear she is right. So if you want your life, I would suggest you get yourself off her” The guy replied the burly one who was still standing over me.“You only joined few weeks ago and you think you can talk now?” The guy who wanted to rape me first spoke.“I am just saying something that would save us. And hell, we didn’t sign up to be rapists. At least I didn’t. I only signed up to push drugs and why would
RUSSO EL MASSIMOMy hand gently caressed Cara's face while she slept deeply. The doctor had attended to her and had left her to rest. Cara was deeply asleep now, so deeply that she didn’t stir at my touch at all.In my other hand was an opened ring box. The ring that should be around her finger was still in the box. Tonight was never meant to be like this. Tonight should have been a sweet night. A dinner by the beach, make her smile, make her laugh, make her feel loved, have a dance with her and ask her to be mine, put a ring to it and be able to actually call her mine.But instead tonight took a sharp turn to become the worst night I have had in years. The bruises on her body made my heart ache. My gaze still on the ring, I wondered how much more of these things Cara would have to go through if I put this ring to her finger.Dark Caster had known that I was in love with Cara and that was why he took that step. He knew the desperation he would put me in by taking Cars away from me.An
ROSALINEI woke up with a light headache that made me keep my eyes shut for the next few seconds. “Love.” I heard Russo’s deep and comforting voice. His voice was almost quiet, almost like a whisper and yet so deep that it soothed my soul.The memories of last night flashed before my closed eyes but somehow it didn’t affect me so much. Maybe it was because of Russo’s hand gently circling my right arm as I opened my eyes slowly.“Russo” I called his name as his face came into view. I tried to pull myself to sit up but Russo aided me with it and as soon as I saw sat, my back against the headboard, I looked more carefully at Russo’s face.“Hug me” I uttered the first words that came into my mouth.He immediately pulled me into his warm arms and I rested my head on his broad chest that was clad in a light shirt. I snuggled closer to him, his presence around me making me feel a hundred times better. He kissed my forehead, a gesture that made my heart flutter before I pressed my forehead
AUTHOR’S POVRick glanced at his uncle in the backseat from the mirror, his hands steady on the wheel.“You are awake” Rick said casually. “Hmm” Dark Caster groaned, pulling himself to sit upright.“Now, can I have an explanation as to why I have been driving for the past four hours and only taking very short breaks? What is going on?” Rick questioned. He had gone to see Dark Caster to beg him to let go of Rosaline and trash the video of Rosaline kissing Russo but the situation he had met had been completely different from what he had expected.His uncle had seemed like he was running away and immediately he set his eyes on Rick, he had hopped into the car and asked Rick to drive away. Though confused, Rick knew just how things could take a dark turn at times sso he had known to obey first.“Give your phone to me” Dark caster demanded instead of answering Rick’s questions.“My phone? For what?”“It would be great if you could be less whiny than you are right now” Dark Caster groaned
ROSALINE“She’s asleep now” I said quietly, a hand still patting her hair gently while Russo’s steps approached me. His hand gently moved to the back of my head in a gentle, soothing pat“Russo” I pulled my hand away from Damien and looked up at him. His eyes were gentle and immediately I rose from the bed, he pulled me into a warm embrace that I very much needed. Diane made me remember my younger self so much but I was a bit luckier. I had Russo and I also had this generational wealth that my family had left for me.“She’s so helpless” I mumbled.“I know” His deep voice soothed me as he patted me comfortingly. I felt so warm in his arms. It was like my own personal safe space that I could always run into.“Russo” I pulled back a little from the hug.“Does she have any other family? Her mum is dead and Karl is dead too. Is there any other person for her?” I asked.“According to the records, Karl has no relative anymore but who knows if he was lying about that just the way he lied abou
