Rose kept thinking about the urgency in every person’s eyes and words outside the bathroom. Kingsley, Emerson and Yvette looked extremely worried and afraid. If Dia Lucrii was afraid, it meant that someone more powerful or more ruthless was making his move. But whom?Kingsley ran with her in his arms and shoved her inside the car. The dress was so heavy, and after fighting with it in the bathroom, she was sweaty. The top of the dress was slightly thinner than her full skirt. So, down her waist, she was comfortable after sitting in the AC, but up her waist she felt cold. She had her eyes closed, and she knew she was sleepy. She was so tired that she didn’t even want to open her mouth to ask the driver to increase the temperature.And suddenly she felt something warm covering her body. The shiver she was feeling was gone. She let out a deep sigh of relief and her head that kept moving, trying to find the perfect space to lie down, found it. Even that space was warm. Her mind had always

Rose thought Kingsley was back. But he had just said that he would never touch her without her consent, so why was he back? Was he going back on his word? Rose first hid her face between her legs, but her curiosity took over her. She lifted her head and looked at the person who entered.An old woman was standing at the door with a big smile on her face. She had her hands clasped together before her stomach. Her sophistication made her look like a rich socialite. Rose blinked and looked at that woman, confused. She had seen Kingsley’s family at the wedding. Did she see her too? Maybe she was the one sitting at the next table. But what was she doing at Kingsley’s home?“Oh, dear! What are you doing there?” said the woman and came running to Rose. “Come on! You have an injured foot. Don’t put pressure on it. Come sit down!” She grabbed Rose’s shoulders and helped her to stand up. Rose didn’t want to do anything, but the voice of the woman was so magical that she just listened to her auto

Kingsley’s eyes were closed, his breath was heavy and deep, his pulse was racing, everything was feeling hot, and his hands were moving up and down between the sheets.“Rose! Rose!” he kept mumbling. His naked body inside the bathtub kept flashing before his eyes. Her long legs, her elongated neck, her prominent collarbones, her wet chocolaty hair, her lips, her closed eyes and her hands moving towards her breasts were all creating a storm of lust and desire in Kingsley’s body.His hands were now moving faster. His breath quickened. Moans and groans escaped his mouth. He kept licking his lips as they dried out from breathing through his mouth. His mouth was dry, but his whole body was wet with sweat.“Fuck! Rose! God, I need you!” cried Kingsley and was almost on the verge of ejaculation. A few more strokes and he would get his release. His hand moved up and the door opened without any knock or any indication.“Ahh!” he cried loudly with embarrassment and shock. The lights lit up, and

The whole night, Rose kept tossing and turning. The new bed, new room, new house, new environment didn’t let her sleep well. She would open her eyes abruptly, try to go back to sleep, try shifting to her sides, but she knew nothing was going to help her. She had to get familiar with the house first. She kept clutching to the pillow every now and then, but nothing felt familiar. Even the clothes she was wearing were unfamiliar.When she really fell asleep due to the tiredness and pain, the morning light started streaming in, making it more difficult for her to wake up.“Shit! What stupid house is this?” she groaned and covered her head with a pillow. She tried to go back to sleep but couldn’t. She finally stood up, got rid of all the bandages, and walked into the bathroom. She looked around; everything she needed in the morning was there. A brush, toothpaste, all the cosmetics that she used, every brand that she used, everything.She rubbed her temple and sighed loudly. “What do I do w

Rose sighed loudly and for a minute closed her eyes. What was Kingsley’s game? She was unable to understand. She was the substitute bride; she was just a replacement. She went along with the marriage, but why was she being forced to go along with all the traditions and customs? Why was that necessary?Then a stupid thought crept into her mind. What would happen if she didn’t go out to meet with the family? Would that make Kingsley angry? Would he hurt her family after that, or would he punish her instead? Or would he just let her ignore her?Ignoring her was the best option according to Rose herself. Why couldn’t he do that? He could do whatever he wanted and let her live her life on her own terms. He wanted money from the Woolridge family, but he got a bride instead. What did he really want to gain? She knew she was the heir to the Woolridge inheritance. And after getting married to her, he was entitled to her property.But he was the mafia leader. He could have gotten all the proper
