THE CEO BRIDE - CHAPTER 10&11
★★★★★
{ MAKE ME YOURS }
Rosetta stood there, staring at him as he kept walking till he finally got to her front. Now, he was closer and she could see his emerald green eyes, shining brightly. Being closer to him actually made her realize what a handsome man he was.
“Non osare abbandonarmi, Rosetta {Don’t you dare walk out on me, Rosetta” he repeated, with his usual deep voice which instilled fear into Rosetta’s body immediately.
Romeo smirked as he watched the fear in her eyes, that’s it… For her to succumb to his will.
“I don’t want to become your bride,” Rosetta shook her head, avoiding his eyes. How in hell was she going to marry him? Someone she barely knows? What’d her fate be with him? What if he was worse than her parents, what if he rapes her every night?? Rosetta couldn’t help but to panic.
“No, I don’t want to,” she shook her head vehemently, her lips already shaking. She was suffering… Yes, but she would never stoop so low as to become a rich man’s toy, never.
“You don’t want to?” Romeo raised a brow. Every woman would jump at this special offer, even Helena, this was always her dream. But here, this little girl just declined his offer, Interesting.
“Do you realize I can make your life miserable with just a flick of a finger? Even your parents…” Rosetta’s eyes widened when she heard that. No, not her parents.
“It’s obvious you’re unwanted, and I wouldn’t mind taking them out of the picture if that’s going to make you become my bride” he smirked.
“No! Not my parents, don’t do anything to them please,” Rosetta quickly screamed, staring at him desperately. Her parents were her life, even though they h@??d her, they were still her parents after all.
“Then do the right thing. This is a lifetime opportunity for you, Rosetta. I believe you know what to do” Romeo said, his words hitting Rosetta a million times. A lifetime opportunity, being his bride was surely going to be the end of her sufferings, she’d surely be free from her parents, the end of her job as a cleaner. The end of her trekking to work all because she had no money. But…
“You have less than three hours to think about it,” Romeo’s harsh voice broke her out of her thoughts.
“Take the day off, three hours is enough to get ready, isn’t it?” He walked back to the chair, staring at her in amusement.
Rosetta clenched her jaw. Staring at the man who was sitting gracefully on the chair, all she felt was total hatred towards him. To the extent that the only thing on her mind was to pluck out that green eyes of his.
“You’re dismissed,” he took his eyes away and began pressing his phone, leaving Rosetta standing.
Rosetta groaned inwardly. Three hours?? She was to make a decision that determines her future in just three hours??
MILAN≈ITALY***
A man could be seen in a large room, sipping a glass of wine slowly. Two men could be seen beside him, each dressed professionally.
“Sir Freud!” Someone suddenly yelled and the door flung open, a guy entered breathing heavily.
Freud raised his brow and the guy quickly went on his knees.
“I’m sorry sir, I’m sorry” he apologized repeatedly.
“What do you want?” Freud asked, staring at the wine as though there’s something fascinating about it.
“Mr. Castillo is back!” The guy dropped the information.
“Finally,” a smirk spread on Freud’s lips. He sipped the wine gently and handed the glass to a man beside him.
“It’s time for the game to start,” he chuckled. One could have guessed how much the arrival of Mr. Castillo brought joy to him because it was all over his face.
“Is it time to move back to Sicily??” He asked no one in particular.
STONE’S RESIDENCE≈9AM***
Rosetta’s stomach grumbled over and over again, she could feel herself slowly getting weak. She sat up and held her head which was already throbbing hard, her stomach hurting her greatly. Feeling this pain, her mind went back to Romeo’s words. “Be my bride”
She shook the thoughts away and managed to stand up, she swayed to the left as her weak body failed her and it took all her strength to control herself from falling to the ground.
Gently, she walked towards the door and went out of the room, dragging her weak legs along with her. Walking through the passage, she was almost close to the living room when she heard the voices of her parents discussing together.
“I h@?? her so much!” That was the voice of her mother. It was a mystery as the loving voice of her mother changed to a callous one overnight.
“Do you think it’s possible for her to be sold?” Rosetta’s eyes widened and her hand flew to her mouth immediately.
“Yes, I’ve heard of a brothel that sells girls at a high price. Should we take her there?” Her Father’s voice came.
“That sounds better, I’m so tired of seeing her face, it disgust me to the core. Selling her will be the best option,”
Hearing the word from the woman she called her mother, tears escaped from Rosetta’s mouth as she quickly tightened her hand around her mouth when her tears became louder.
“I’d rather sell her off as a s*x slave, than seeing her disgusting face every seconds,”
A s*x slave, the word rang back in Rosetta’s ears and she found herself walking to the living room, her tears falling nonstop.
Her parents didn’t bother to act surprised when she showed up, instead they had a nonchalant expression on their face.
“Am I your daughter at all? Tell me!” Rosetta screamed, crying madly. Her heart was breaking as the seconds passed. She was too weak to take this all. She was just 22 for crying out loud and her parents are planning to sell her off as a s*x slave??
“No parents in their right senses will want to sell that daughter off!! No parents would treat their daughter like trash!!” She screamed, not minding to clean the tears who kept rushing out like a tap.
“I guess this is it. I’m no longer needed here anymore, I’ll just leave. I’ll leave this hellhole and I’ll never return back!” She yelled
“Yes, that’s it! Leave and never come back! If possible, disappear from the surface of this earth!!” Mrs. Stone shouted.
“Do you think I’m happy with the way I see your face everyday?? I h@?? you to the extent that I feel like strangling you to death right now!”
Rosetta staggered back in shock, staring at them with wide eyes.
“Leave and never come back! Leave and disappear from my sight! My life! Our life! Leaveeee!!!!” Mrs. Stone screamed like a mad woman.
Rosetta shook her head and rushed out of the house, crying loudly. She was weak physically, emotionally. She was drained, she felt like a living dead.
Running with her tears falling nonstop, she was oblivious of a car trailing her behind. With her tears blinding her eyes, she tripped on a stone, falling to the ground harshly. That was what she needed at that moment… Death.
Closing her eyes, Rosetta couldn’t help but to regret coming into this cruel world. Maybe leaving was the best option.
A figure came out of the car and rushed to her unconscious body. Gently, he scooped her into his arms and rushed back to the car, placing her inside gently.
“Drive!” He ordered the driver after entering the car. The car drove off afterwards.
Rosetta could feel herself floating on a high cloud, where she was felt like heaven. The aroma of a delicious food lingered in the air, the scent hitting her nostrils.
She was lying on something so soft, her hand rubbed the fluffy skin and she smiled out, revealing her white sets of teeth.
“Enjoying your sleep, mio caro? {My darling?}” She heard a voice. Her eyes fluttered open and the first thing she saw was him, having that usual smirk on his face.
“Aaahhhhhh!!!” She screamed, sitting up immediately. Her eyes scanned the room which was decorated beautifully. The room was spacious, and it didn’t look like a bedroom at all.
“What am I doing here?” She screamed, staring at him wide eyed. So, this was heaven?
Romeo clicked his fingers and a maid came forward, pushing a tray with her hands.
“Have your breakfast, mio caro” he smiled, signaling the maid to serve Rosetta.
The maid set the food on the table before Rosetta and her mouth went watery, her throat went dry immediately and that was when it dawned on her how much she was being starved.
After setting the meal, the maid walked out pushing the tray away.
Without waiting for another word from him, Rosetta held a spoon and dug into the meal immediately, rushing the food hungrily.
“Stai per soffocare, tesoro {You’re going to choke, darling}” Romeo smiled lightly as he watched her rushing the food.
Like he predicted, Rosetta choked on her food and she began coughing, holding her throat with her hand.
Romeo quickly stretched a glass of water to her and she collected it, gulping it down her throat immediately.
“Grazie {Thank you}” Rosetta muttered, dropping the glass cup on the table.
Romeo nodded and watched as she started eating, slowly this time around. Feeling his eyes on her was the least of Rosetta’s problems, all she cared for at that moment was the food in her presence.
She continued eating till she ate the last spoon, then she felt okay.
“Hmm,” she Mõ@?ed, closing her eyes while smiling happily. This was it, the joy of having a great meal after two days.
“Are you okay now?” Romeo’s voice made her open her eyes. She nodded her head before staring at him.
“How did I get here?” She asked, calmly this time around. He already gave her a meal and she ought to respect him.
“You don’t have to know,” Romeo stood up and adjusted his too. He was wearing a top with grey pants, that was his dressing at his leisure time.
He started walking to the door and her next words stopped him.
“Is the offer still on?” Rosetta suddenly asked, her voice so determined.
Romeo turned to her and smirked.
“Very on, tesoro {darling}”
“Good. I’ll become your bride, Mr. Romeo” Rosetta blurted out and she was rewarded with a smile from him.
“Make me your bride, your wife” she repeated, getting herself ready for a better turn in her life. f-__-k her parents, she’d never care for them anymore.
Slowly, she got to her feet and walked towards him, his huge body hovering over hers since she was short.
“Make me yours, Romeo” she said, shocking Romeo to the core.
