{ HONEYMOON }
By the time Romeo and Marcus returned back to the house, it was past noon and Rosetta was already asleep. Valeria was in the living room, pressing her phone. Her legs were crossed and she was well relaxed as she smiled at wh@ťěver she was staring at her phone.
Marcus smiled before strolling towards her. He plopped himself beside her and instantly leaned his head closer to hers, kissing her shortly while Romeo was present.
“Hey!” Valeria snapped, pushing him away with a finger. Even though she tried to hide the smile from spreading on her face, she couldn’t as her boyfriend looked so cute at that moment.
“If you know you’re going to rub off your relationship on my face right here, I suggest you head back to your house,” Romeo said whilst staring at them. He had his phone in his hand.
“Do you know how many hours we spent out there? I couldn’t help but to miss her,” Marcus shrugged while Valeria giggled beside him.
“Where’s my wife?” Romeo asked her. It was at that moment he realized Rosetta was absent in the house.
“In the bedroom taking a nap,” Valeria replied, tossing her phone to the side.
“That wife of yours sure does have a lot to learn, she’s so naive,” she shook her head with a smile as she remembered Rosetta’s reaction when she gave her some tips on how to seduce Romeo. If it were her boyfriend Marcus, he’d have totally gone crazy!
“Yeah, she does,” Romeo chuckled. He could perfectly testify to that. His wife was really a young naive girl, yet she could make him go insane mere by just flickering her eyes lashes at him.
“Well, I really do hope this honeymoon of yours turns out to be fruitful. I wouldn’t mind being a godmother at this moment,” Valeria laughed. She’d surely be the happiest on earth if Rosetta gets pregnant.
“I really do think you need to head home,” Romeo said. Marcus laughed at his words, but yet he stood up. He stretched his palm towards Valeria which she gladly received as she also got to her feet.
“Of course we will, we wouldn’t wanna disturb you two” he smiled while Romeo shook his head.
“How many days will you be away?” Marcus asked.
“Seven, I think. I really need to come back as soon as possible,” Romeo muttered. He knew Freudian wouldn’t just sit right while he’s away.
“Well, I hope you make use of those seven days well,” Marcus snickered.
After a while, Marcus and Valeria left not after promising to call them when they arrive at Bora Bora. That’s the place Romeo and his wife will be heading to for their honeymoon.
Romeo entered the bedroom and sauntered towards the bed. A quick smile escaped his lips when he saw his wife fast asleep, her hair covering a part of her face.
Gently, he sat on the bed and tucked a tendril behind her ear. That action of his woke Rosetta up as she fluttered her eyes open.
That moment, their eyes locked and it was as though the world revolved around them alone as they got lost in each other’s eyes.
“Did I wake you up?” Romeo asked softly, his hand still around her cheek. Rosetta shook her head against his hand, not bothering to move out of his hold. His hand felt soothing against her skin.
“The maids will be here to pack your things, we’ll be leaving tonight” Romeo muttered, finally retracing his hand from her cheek.
“Leaving? Where?” Rosetta sat up slowly, staring up at him. Where are they leaving?
“Our honeymoon,” Romeo replied and her eyes nearly bulged out of their socket. Honeymoon? d@mn, why did she forget about that?
“Oh… I,” Rosetta licked her lower lips when she realized she was short of words.
“Okay,” she whispered after a while. Valeria’s words rang in her ears and she wondered if she was ready to give her body to this man before her. She doesn’t even love him.
“Are you sure about that?” Her subconsciousness asked and Rosetta was shocked. It was crystal clear that she has no ounce of feelings for this man before her, so why that question?
“Are you done?” Romeo’s voice brought her back to reality.
“Huh?” She blinked her eyes. Wait, was he staring at her all along? f-__-k!
“Er….I,” she chuckled awkwardly. Not wanting things to be awkward between them, tried to get out of the bed but Romeo quickly prevented her from doing so. He pushed her back to the bed and leaned his body closer to hers, their faces inches apart.
“Are you scared of me? Be honest,” Romeo whispered, staring down at her. He couldn’t help but to ponder at Marcus’s words. Was he really being hard on her?
“No, why would I?” Rosetta chuckled, avoiding his eyes. With her actions, Romeo realized that she was actually scared of him as her body looked so tensed
“You don’t have to lie, Rose,” he smiled. His hand went to her cheek and stopped there, caressing the softness of her skin.
“I’ll be better, I promise” he murmured and Rosetta blinked her eyes. At the sight of her flickering her eye lashes, Romeo lost control and he didn’t know when his lips slammed on hers.
The kiss started as a slow one at first but when Romeo couldn’t control himself any longer, it went deeper and his hand got stuck in her hair, pulling her closer to him.
Rosetta didn’t hesitate for a while before also dipping her hands into his hair, responding to his fervent kisses. Her body was totally against her at that moment, this man here does have a way of making her succumb to his kisses.
“Romeo,” she Mõ@ɲed when he th-ru_sted his tongue into her mouth. This was so sweet, every moment with him was!
Hearing her Mõ@ɲ, Romeo totally went crazy. His hand crawled to her chest and grabbed a soft mold, squeezing it gently. That action made Rosetta come back to her senses. She pushed him away, forcing their lips apart.
She was breathing heavily as she stared at him. Her heart was beating hard against her chest, her lips swollen from the kiss they shared.
“I… I’ll be in the bathroom,” she stuttered and quickly scurried out of the bed, then she rushed to the bathroom.
Romeo licked his lips, still feeling the taste of her. Why was she always pushing him away?
“That’s because this marriage was against her will” his subconsciousness spoke.
“Right” he breathed out. This marriage was a sudden thing and it’s understandable as to why she’s acting that way.

Mrs. Stone was in the bedroom, having a sour expression on her face. The scene of the wedding couldn’t leave her mind, it was too embarrassing to ignore.
“How could she?” She scoffed when she remembered how Rosetta denied knowing them right in the presence of everyone.
“Has she forgotten everything? Has she forgotten that she’s still alive because of us? Have she?” She fumed silently. She looked around the room and her eyes caught a glass of wine on the table.
“Right!” She quickly walked towards the table. She picked the glass and then walked towards the drawer, opening it gently. Her eyes met with a bottle and she hurriedly picked it, opening the lid. After doing that, she spilled some content into the wine and returned the bottle.
“How could I forget this?” She scolded herself. At that time, Mr. Stone returned to the room.
“Are you done?” Mrs. Stone walked towards him. Mr. Stone nodded and she handed the glass of wine to him.
“Your favorite,” she winked.
“Thanks honey,” Mr. Stone gulped down the content before handing the glass back to her.
“So, what do you intend to do about Rosetta? She’s married now, and to a Billionaire” Mrs. Stone said gently.
“We just have to sit back and watch, can’t think of anything at the moment,” Mr. Stone said.
“I’ll surely come up with something, she can’t do that to us and then go scot free, it’s not done that way” Mrs. Stone scowled.

“Are you ready?” Romeo asked Rosetta who was busy taking a glance at the house. She had actually thought they’d be spending some time here since the house looked so beautiful. It was surrounded by a beach and she just couldn’t get tired of admiring its beauty.
“Yea…” Rosetta sighed. Romeo walked to her and held her shoulders gently, she stared up at him.
“Are you alright?” He asked softly.
“It’s… It’s so beautiful and I feel so bad about leaving,” Rosetta pouted and he released a chuckle. Was that why she had that expression on her face? He had actually thought something was wrong with her.
“We can always come back here, you know?” He raised a brow.
“Really?” Rosetta’s eyes twinkled and he nodded. Out of excitement, she went on her tiptoes and placed a peck on his cheek, shocking the daylight out of Romeo.
“Thank you!” She smiled before rushing off.
*”You should also loosened up around her, she’s scared of you”* Romeo recalled Marcus’s words and he grinned widely. Maybe it’s time for him to loosen up a bit, that won’t hurt, right?

“Wow!” Rosetta exclaimed, staring at the helicopter in front of her in amazement. She had never really thought of entering one, but here she found herself right in front of it.
“Everything you need is right here, Mr. Knight,” a man said to Romeo.
“Thanks Eduardo,” Romeo patted his shoulder before walking towards the helicopter, Rosetta followed behind.
They got to it and with the help of Romeo, Rosetta found herself sitting comfortably inside the Helicopter with Romeo beside her.
“Wait… You’re flying this?” She asked bewildered. They were the only ones inside.
“Yea..” Romeo leaned closer and set the protection belts around her, his hand brushing her br*east slightly.
After that, he pulled away and settled himself well and then connected the intercom.
“Your flight plan from Sicily to Bora Bora is settled,” a voice said over the intercom.
Rosetta turned to him in shock. Did she hear right?
“Bora Bora? That’s where we’re going?” She smiled happily and Romeo in turn released a smile.
“Wow! I’ve always wished to visit that place,” she giggled. Bora Bora is known for Its well splendid dishes and it’s an expensive city where the rich do visit for holidays.
Romeo watched her for a little while with a smile playing on his lips. Seeing her smile does a great thing to him.

Rosetta awed as she stared around in nothing but amazement. This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful, scenic places in the world and exudes luxury from every angle.
“Ti piace? {Do you like it?}” She heard Romeo’s voice beside her. She turned to find him leaning by the doorway, their luggages was settled in the house already.
“Lo adoro! {I love it!}” She exclaimed, still taking a peek around. She walked to where the bags were and at that moment, she realized they were all alone in the house.
“Why is no one here?” She questioned, still looking around if she could catch a glimpse of a single maid or guard but there was none. They were the only souls present in the house.
“That’s because this is a honeymoon, wifey,” Romeo slurred, a smirk forming on his face.
“Wh… What?” Rosetta’s eyes widened in shock. Will she be spending some days alone with this man? Like, alone??
“Ehem,” she cleared her throat and walked to the place where their luggages was. She unzipped the big bag and her eyes widened the more when she saw what was inside.
The clothes in here contain lingeries, segzy P@ŋtîēṣ and bras, bikinis and a few singlets and shorts. Two or three shirts could be found there but mostly, the bag contains lingeries!
Whose handiwork is this if not Valeria??
“d@mn you, Valeria!!!!” Rosetta didn’t know when her voice came out in a high pitched tone. How was she to walk around with lingeries on?? Okay, this is surely a death sentence for her!
