ROSALINEI was dressed in a carton brown body con dress. It was floor length and had two spaghetti straps. I was glad it was padded so I wouldn't need to wear a bra and keep checking my breasts every now and then.I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled at my reflection. I paired it with a pair of black heels and wore a simple diamond necklace and earrings.I wore clean makeup and chose to use gloss instead of lipstick. I let my curly hair loose to hang around my waist in full volume and grinned at how I looked.Once in a blue moon, I would appreciate my beauty. That's because I rarely felt beautiful. Every time I looked in the mirror, I would remember those scars and the torture."He'll just leave when he sees them," I sighed and smoothened the dress with my hand. There was a knock on the door. "Come in," I said as I grabbed my black clutch and putting my phone in it."Boss is waiting for you downstairs," it was Igor.I turned to look at him. "Before you leave, how do I look?" I

ROSALINESo, I got to know that Vincenzo, Bianca's husband was Alexei's cousin and the head of the Italian mafia. It explained the different accent she had. Not to mention that Vincenzo and Alexei had almost the same behavior. It was frustrating, to be honest.We had already spent about three hours at this party and I was getting tired already. Alexei had gone with Vlad, Igor and Vincenzo to talk about 'business.'They left Bianca and I alone to talk with prod and obnoxious women. I was tired of hearing them talk about the latest Prada clothes they just purchased and Bianca seemed to share my thoughts. She told them our husbands were calling us and grabbed me before whisking me away."I can't stand those women. This is why I didn't want to tag along," she huffed as we made our way to the bathroom. "Then why did you come?" I asked with a chuckle. "Because I didn't want any sly woman to touch my husband. He sometimes thinks with his dick," she grumbled."That's men for you," I patted h

ROSALINEI was busy scrolling through Instagram when the door opened and Bianca walked in. I quickly stood up and went to meet her. we hugged immediately and laughed."How are you?" she asked me. "I should be asking you?" I chuckled. she flipped her long brown hair, "I'm perfectly fine, thank you." "Same here. I still don't know why he had to imprison me in his room," I said went to sit on Alexei's bed.Honestly, I preferred this bed to mine. Maybe it's because it had his scent on it.She took a seat beside me. "Enzo wouldn't stoop lecturing me when we got home. I was tempted to carve out his eyes with my heels," she said and I chuckled. "He was just worried," I said to her and she rolled her eyes. "We both know I'm not that easy to take out.""Did you come here alone?" I asked. She shook her head, "I tagged along with Enzo. They wanted to talk business and I wanted to see you and hang out."I smiled, "Thank you."ALEXEI"Ugh!" the bald idiot groaned as he spat out blood. "If I get on

ROSALINE"If he lays a hand on you, you better call me and let me handle him," Blaze said with a hardened voice. I rolled my eyes at him, "I wonder how Lauren keeps up with you." He huffed, "Don't use her against me." "Stop being an overprotective asshole. I can handle myself well, you're not even in the same country with me!" I complained.Yeka just left after we came back from getting our nails done and I was busy admiring my new nails when my brother decided to call me. It's been a long time I've heard his voice.Don't get me wrong, I love my brother to the moon and back. But sometimes, his overprotective side gets so fucking infuriating and annoying. I hate how he behaves like I'm a china doll that can break easily. I'm made of flesh and bones!"I can't help it. Whenever I think of you, I get chills. Chills, Rose! I get fucking chills and a heart attack!" he exclaimed. I sighed and sat on my bed, "I can protect myself, Blaze. Alexei won't hurt me. And if he does, I'm not a weak b

ROSALINEHe was right. I couldn't walk.After what happened in his office, I nearly passed out. He covered me with a blanket and took me to my room. And now, it was time for dinner. With every step I took, I would be reminded that I had a giant man inside me earlier. "What type of dick is that?" I grumbled as I finally got downstairs.I'm never letting Alexei touch me again!'We'll see about that,' my subconscious laughed and I huffed. I blew out a breath and walked into the dining room. More like, limped."Dear, are you alright?" Anya asked me with concern as she placed Alexei's food in front of him. Alexei looked up at me and I scowled when a satisfied smirk appeared on his face. I wish I could wipe it off with a slap."I'm fine, Anya. I just stubbed my toe, that's all," I said to the sweet woman and quickly went to sit far away from my idiotic husband.'He wasn't idiotic when he was fucking your senses away,' my subconscious snickered. Wow, so my sanity is gradually leaving me."
