Third-person POV He didn't give her even one second to discern his words before she felt his lips on the tip of her nose. Moving with deliberate intent, he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, a gesture filled with warmth and affection. Slowly, his lips descended, leaving a trail of feathery kisses across her cheeks, each touch igniting a swarm of butterflies within her stomach. His lips continued their exploration, moving to her chin as he peppered a delicate path of kisses along her jawline. Each brush of his lips sent shivers cascading down her spine, evoking a mixture of anticipation and a newfound sensuality that both excited and unnerved her. She could feel his breath tickling her ear, its soft warmth causing her pulse to quicken when he took her earlobe in between his teeth and tugged over it. The sensation was unfamiliar yet exhilarating, creating a delicious combination of pleasure and vulnerability that left her yearning for more. She lost it and her eyes closed when he

Vincenzo's POVI woke up to the chirping of the birds and my eyes opened slowly.As my consciousness gradually awakened, the events of the previous night flooded back into my mind, replaying vividly like a movie scene.Abruptly, I looked around and found myself sleeping while cuddling her closely to my chest.The sight of her peaceful face, illuminated by the soft morning light that filtered through the curtains, brought a mix of comfort but when my eyes moved down her body, which was half-covered with a duvet, I could feel anger rushing through my veins.How could I do this?Just how?I don't regret spending the night with her but I regret the thoughts that came to my head when I...No!I have to stop all this right here.Drawing deep breaths, I stepped out of bed and directly made my way to the bathroom.I first need to clean my mind.I turned on the faucet, letting the water flow. I splashed my face with the cool water, imagining it washing away all the negativity and doubts that c

Roseline's POVIt's been two weeks since that night and Vincenzo has been ignoring me since that day. He wakes up early in the morning and leaves the room before I can even open my eyes and in the evenings, he would disappear into his study, engrossed in his own world. It is not like I miss him, but his strange actions left me feeling confused and unsettled. His personality is so confusing. He wants to get intimate and doesn't like me talking to any other male but at the same time, he doesn't want to fall in love with me. What does he exactly want? Vincenzo's intentions remained a mystery, and his conflicting behavior only added to the confusion I felt.A few days ago, I needed to ask something related to my project and with his experience and expertise in this subject, I was sure that no one else than him could guide me properly. Though he hasn't talked to me since that day yet, it was me who needed his help, so I decided to go into his study, hoping that he would be willing to

Roseline's POVFor the past half an hour, I have been busy decorating the wall for the celebration.Liam left me alone by saying that he needed to look after something else. But I know there isn't anything. He just needed an excuse to run away from work. It has been his habit since childhood. He runs away after giving his work to someone else.I didn't mind either. I love doing it.As I reached the upper half of the wall, I realized my hands couldn't reach that high. So, I grabbed a stool and positioned it next to the wall before climbing up on it.As I stretched my body to reach the corner, my ankle suddenly twisted, causing me to lose my balance. Desperately, I reached out for something to hold onto, but all I managed to grab was a frill that tore in the middle. The stool on which I was standing also lost its balance and I started falling back. The ground seemed to rush towards me as I prepared for a painful impact.With my eyes tightly shut, I braced myself, fearing the worst.But

Roseline's POVI am sure I am again disillusioned, like every other time. I haven't met them before. It is for the first time that I am seeing her."It's my pleasure to meet you, too," I replied, keeping my smile steady as I extended my hand to Vincenzo's mother. Her warm smile reassured me, momentarily easing my concerns."My name is Moretti, Vincenzo's mother," she introduced herself, her voice gentle and inviting. I shook her hand firmly, reciprocating her warm greeting."Roseline." I smiled back at her as we shook hands.Vincenzo's father approached us; his demeanor is more reserved and serious compared to that of his son and wife. He simply nodded in acknowledgment as I greeted him, creating an air of formality."Let's have dinner together." Grandpa's excitement was palpable, and his happiness radiated through his voice.The dining table was set elegantly, adorned with delicious dishes. We settled around the table, Grandpa engaging in polite conversation with Vincenzo's mother."
