Semua Bab Married by Contract, Destined by Fate: Bab 121 - Bab 130

As the driver parked the car in the garage I saw Vincenzo's car as well. He is back home which took me by surprise because it is not his time to come back. Drawing a deep breath and preparing myself to talk to him I stepped ahead. As I entered the home I found Kevin passing through. He gave me a reassuring smile as soon as he saw me before disappearing into his room. The words that he said to me at the college repeated in my head. As I scanned the house, I couldn't spot her anywhere. My heart felt a mix of relief and anxiety, hoping I wouldn't have to face her just yet.The silence all around the house was not giving me good vibes. Ignoring everything I just made my way towards the room with the hope that I would find him but he was nowhere to be seen. Glad! Perhaps he was in his study or spending time with Rose, the thought of which stung me.Pushing aside those emotions, I placed my bag on the bed and sat down, feeling more tired than usual. The events of the day and the emoti

Roseline's POVSince that day, I have been taking the tablets on time because I couldn't even sit properly or see anything after I played with Kevin. Now that I am taking the tablets daily, I am feeling a bit better. Vincenzo has changed them after consulting the doctor, and it seems like the doctor has increased the dose. Whatever may be the case, they are giving me relief, and these days, I feel so dizzy that I cannot go without those tablets.Sometimes, it feels like he is giving me tablets of something else, disguising them as vitamins, but as long as they are helping me, I don't mind. I have to admit that I feel somewhat dependent on them now, but I have no other choice. The tablets have become a part of my daily routine, and without them, I fear I won't be able to function properly.Taking a deep breath, I shake off those overwhelming thoughts and divert my focus to the tasks at hand for today. Yesterday, Liam called me, urgently requesting that I represent him at the charity fu

Roseline's POVAfter eating out with Kevin, I came back home and found out that Vincenzo was in Rose's room.Though I also spent time with Kevin, all the time only Vincenzo was on my mind. I couldn't shrug off his thoughts, even for once. And now finding him in her room is hurting me.No!He is not mine!I shouldn't care where he is.Pushing the thoughts aside, I decided to take a relaxing bath to unwind from the long and tiring day. The warm water helped soothe my tired muscles, but it couldn't calm the turmoil in my heart. It was still sinking into the pit of my stomach. I understand that he has his rose back but I am still his wife.Isn't it?As I came out of the bathroom, I found Vincenzo entering the room. He seemed to be in his own world, not acknowledging my presence."Fine, ignore me then," I muttered under my breath, trying to appear unaffected by his actions.I walked to the dressing table while he went to the bathroom to take a bath.With a deep breath, I tried to focus on

Roseline's POVAs he moved his face closer to mine, my heart raced in my chest, and the world around us faded away. The anticipation of his lips meeting mine was almost overwhelming, and I could feel the electric tension in the air.Our bodies were squeezed tightly. But then, just when our lips were mere inches apart, he stopped. My heart sank, and confusion washed over me.Huh?Our eyes met, and I saw a flicker of hesitation in his gaze. The moment hung suspended in time, and I held my breath, waiting for him to continue. But instead, he abruptly sat up, placing a reassuring hand on my back to steady me.I slowly slid down his body and settled back on the bed, my heart heavy with disappointment and confusion. His sudden change in demeanor left me feeling lost and hurt.But then I realized it wasn't a sudden change in him. I made scenarios in my head.He moved ahead and paused, shaking his head slightly, as if trying to clear his thoughts. He sat on the edge of the bed, seemingly lost

Roseline's POVThe clock was about to hit 12 but the birthday boy was still in his study and I was not sure if he would come out before 12 or not because he has the habit of working till midnight.There were only 5 minutes left when I heard the clicking sound of his study's door. I quickly grabbed a book lying nearby and started pretending to read, attempting to act casual even though my heart was racing.I don't know why I did that when I was actually waiting for the clock to hit 12 so that I could wish him and give him the gift that I bought from the market. I am still not sure if he would like it or not.I had spent a long time contemplating the perfect present, but now I was plagued with doubt, fearing that it might be too childish.He went straight to the bathroom without saying a word, and I let out a long breath, relieved that he hadn't noticed my nervous behavior.As the hands of the clock drew closer to 12, my heart pounded in my chest, anticipating the building with every se
