THE CEO BRIDE - CHAPTER 26&27
★★★★★
{ MRS. CASTILLO }
Immediately his hand landed on her br*east, Rosetta’s body completely went still, her eyes growing wide in shock. His lips were moving on hers as gentle as the summer breeze and her mind was in a complete haze.
She was having her first kiss right under the shower with her soon to be husband. Not only that, his hand was moving around her br*east, fondling it gently.
Just before she could take a move, Romeo broke the kiss and a smile found its way to his eyes as he stared down at her. His hand went to her hair and brushed a wet tendril to the back of her hair.
“Hai un sapore così dolce, tesoro {You taste so sweet, darling}” he whispered. His words made Rosetta gaze up at him in the eye, the shower pouring on them endlessly.
“f-__-k you,” she mumbled though he completely heard her. She moved out of his hold and Romeo sneezed out, that action made her halt on her steps.
Rosetta turned to find him rubbing his face, and she went back to him.
“You’re cold, you should get out of the shower,” she said, not bothering to hide the concern laced in her voice
Romeo stared at her, his eyes moving back to her chest. Her ??pplës stood proudly against the top she wore and he could feel his self control crumbling right in his presence. She was still clad in her dress, yet mere staring at her, he could feel himself going insane. This little wife of his seems to be a seductress in disguise!
“Leave before I do something crazy,” Romeo said before taking his gaze away. He brushed his hair to the back, showing his muscles which were set to ki||.
“I can’t. You caught a cold because of me,” Rosetta mumbled. She slowly walked back to him, forgetting about the kiss they shared a few minutes ago.
“And, I want to treat it,” she mumbled the last part so low that he almost couldn’t hear her.
Romeo took his attention back to her and cussed lowly when his eyes fell on her chest. In a forward motion, he dragged her to him, his hand getting a hold of her body which felt strangely soft in his hands.
“Perché non lo porti via in questo modo? {Why don’t you take it away this way?}” He whispered. Before Rosetta couldn’t blink her eyes, his lips were back on hers, this time deeper than the first.
A gasp escaped her lips when he lifted her in his arms, his hand going round her a*s which felt so soft in his arms. Rosetta was too shocked to react, and when she finally regained her senses, she found herself giving into the kiss, tasting the lips of her husband.
The shower cascaded through their bodies as their lips moved hotly against each other. Rosetta was still a novice in the kiss, but Romeo led her through, th-ru_sting his tongue into her honey coated mouth.
“Sei così dolce, tesoro mio {You’re so sweet, my darling}” Romeo groaned into the kiss. His hand which were on her a*s trailed to her chest and got a hold of a B-__-b, pressing it gently.
A cry of pleasure left Rosetta’s lips as his hand caressed her sinfully. This wasn’t supposed to be happening but it felt so right. Was this how it felt to be kissed?
A pleasurable Mõ@? escaped Romeo’s lips when her hand landed on his hair. She pulled it so hard and a growl came up at the back of his throat. How could her touch alone send his shaft on fire?
The shower kept pouring on the two, drenching their already wet bodies. The kiss was getting hotter, with hands moving crazily around their bodies.
“Aaaah,” Rosetta gasped and quickly broke the kiss, taking her time to catch her heavy breath. Her eyes searched Romeo’s as the both of them breathed heavily from the crazy kiss they just shared.
Rosetta was still in his arms, her lips trembling from the intensity of the kiss.
“I….” She stopped when she didn’t know what to say. Romeo chuckled before hugging her body to himself, feeling the softness of her B-__-bs. Crazy pervert!
Silence filled the bathroom as each soul was in utter silence. Rosetta couldn’t say a thing, still shocked at the event that occurred seconds ago. She couldn’t believe she gave in to him, but d@mn, the kiss was really an enjoyable one.
“Uhtchm!” A sneeze escaped her lips and her eyes widened. Oh no!
Romeo immediately set her on her feet just to stare at her, his face holding an amusement in it.
“Don’t tell me you’ve caught the flu, darling?” He wiggled a brow.
“You’re the cause of it!” Rosetta shot, sneezing again.
“d@mn,” Romeo cussed. He moved closer and got a hold of her shirt, attempting to pull it over her head
“What are you doing?” Rosetta asked bewildered. Her hand quickly held his, stopping him from taking any further move.
“You need to get out of this dress, it’s cold,” Romeo said.
Was this man insane? Rosetta couldn’t help but to wonder. How would he dare pull her dress right in his presence!
“You’re crazy!” She shot, moving away from him. Her hand quickly covered her chest protectively.
“What?”
“Get out! Get out!” She screamed, shoving him out of the bathroom.
“What the hell? Rosetta? Rose!!” Romeo banged the door but it was locked already.
“Cazzo!” He cursed, staring at his wet dress. He immediately walked out of the room, going to one of the guests rooms.

<MOMENTS LATER>
Rosetta came out of the bathroom slowly but froze on the spot when she found Romeo in the room. The events of the days flashed through her mind and she subconsciously licked her lower lips, still feeling the taste of his lips from the kiss they shared. Crazy right?
“Are you gonna keep standing there?” His voice brought her back to her senses. She stared right ahead to find him staring at her.
“Oh…” She bit her lips and walked further into the room, sitting on the bed faraway from him. She was in a bathrobe but she found it hard to go into the closet to change her dress. What if he peeks in?
There was a sudden knock and a maid appeared in the room, holding a tray in her hands. She walked to them and placed the tray in the center of the room, she disappeared afterwards.
Romeo stood from the bed and went to pick a cup, he glanced back at Rosetta who was fiddling with her fingers.
“Here, have a cup of hot tea. It would cool down the cold” he said, walking to her.
“Grazie {Thank you}” Rosetta whispered, taking a sip of the tea.
“We’ll be going on a trip after the wedding,” he suddenly announced.
“For the honeymoon,” he added and Rosetta choked on the tea, coughing out.
“Wh… What?” She blinked her eyes and Romeo was forced to stare at her. Why was she suddenly acting like a kid?
“How old are you?” He found himself asking.
“Huh?” Rosetta blinked her eyes again and Romeo couldn’t help but to wonder why she loved doing that.
“I’m… I’m 22” She muttered. Romeo was shocked. Did he just get himself a little lady as his bride?
“You’re still young. Why aren’t you in school?” He asked further. She was still young and if he could guess right, she ought to be in college like her mates.
“It’s a long story,” Rosetta chuckled. Her mind went to her parents and she wondered how they were faring after her disappearance. Were they worried?
“Would you like to go back to school?” Romeo suddenly asked and her attention went back to him. What?!
“Would you?” He asked again, this time staring right at her. That moment, Rosetta felt something she couldn’t place her hands in towards him. A feeling that stirred deeply inside her heart… Feelings like affection.

<THE NEXT DAY>
“Oh my goodness, this bride here looks so beautiful!” Valeria clapped her hands excitedly as she walked into the dressing room. Rosetta was already in her wedding gown, sitting like a queen. A crown could be seen on her head with silver necklaces around her neck.
“Thank you,” Rosetta giggled when Valeria got to her side.
“Are you done with her make-up?” Valeria asked the lady who was fixing up Rosetta’s face.
“Just a little more,” the lady replied.
“Please hurry up, the wedding is starting in a few minutes,” Valeria said. She was dressed in a white short gown, her flawless legs so revealing. She was looking gorgeous but as always, not beautiful as the bride.
“Gosh, I’m so nervous,” Rosetta whispered and Valeria turned to her.
“You don’t have to be. This is a joyous day I guess, I mean you’re finally getting married to Romeo” Valeria smiled
Somehow, the thought of getting married doesn’t sound dreadful to Rosetta like it had always been. Rather, she felt a feeling of anxiousness.
“I’m right behind you, okay? Fret not,” Valeria said and Rosetta nodded with a laugh.

<A ROOM>
“Wow man, I’m sure your bride won’t be able to take her eyes off you when she sees you,” Marcus teased after Romeo was done dressing up.
“Is everything set?” Romeo asked instead.
“Trust me, buddy. Freudian won’t be able to disrupt anything,” Marcus said.
“Thanks,” Romeo stared at himself in the mirror and a memory came up in his head… That of his mother.
Never in his whole life would he imagined himself getting married, but here he was, getting married in just a few minutes time.
“Still can’t believe you’re finally getting married,” Marcus said beside him.
“I should hurry up too, right? I can’t bear to lose Valeria for the second time,” Marcus chuckled.
“You shouldn’t, she’s a rare one” Romeo muttered.
“Of course I know! I’d be insane if I let her go” Marcus smiled.
“And you should treat her right. I mean Rosetta, this marriage was against her will, you know?”
“I know. I’m trying my best,” Romeo sighed. One thing he was sure of was that he’d never allow Rosetta to get mixed up with his shitty family business.

<SICILY≈VILLA AURELIA>
Violin could be seen playing by different violinists in the big hall. The hall was beautifully decorated with white fabrics, flowers planted on every corner of the walls.
Different influential people could be seen around, chatting randomly.
Mr. Castillo could be seen in a corner, having a discussion with a few men.
“Congratulations on your second son’s wedding, you’ve made it so far!” The first man congratulated.
“Thanks Mr. Rodriguez,” Mr. Castillo smiled.
“Where’s Freudian? Don’t tell me he isn’t gonna attend his brother’s wedding?” Another man asked.
“He’s on his way,” Mr. Castillo faked a smile.
“Everyone, please let’s have our seats! This ceremony is starting soon!” The MC announced. Everyone dispersed to their seats.
The door opened, revealing Romeo clad in a tuxedo suit, walking majestically with Marcus just beside him. The few young women in the hall couldn’t take their eyes off him as he was looking so devilishly handsome, having that sly grin that was set to drive any lady insane on his face.
Romeo walked to where the priest was, ignoring the stares from his father that were boring holes into his body.
“Here comes the bride!” There was a loud scream and the door flung open, revealing Rosetta dressed in a white princess ball gown. The gown was crawling on the ground behind her, adding more beauty to her features.
Her hair was let loose, falling down her shoulder with a silver crown to top it. She was looking so gorgeous that Romeo couldn’t take his eyes off her.
As she walked down the aisle, Rosetta could feel her heart hammering hard against her chest. She was scared but when she got to his front, him extending his hand towards her, she felt safe instantly.
“Take good care of her” Valeria winked at Romeo before she moved away.
“You look gorgeous, Mio caro” Romeo whispered down to Rosetta.
“Thank you,” Rosetta blushed heavily, holding the flower bouquet in her hand tight. They both faced the priest and soon, the wedding started.
Amidst the crowd was a female figure, glaring at the bride h@??fully. Her gaze was so hard and she was controlling herself real hard from destroying the wedding.
“Keep calm, will you?” Adele whispered beside her.
“Yes, I do” Rosetta said aloud and soon, they exchanged rings.
“I now pronounce you both as husband and wife. You may kiss your bride!” The priest announced.
Romeo turned to Rosetta who was already breathing heavily. Gently, he raised the veil to behold her beautiful face. Leaning closer, his lips met with hers and Rosetta shut her eyes immediately, responding slowly to the kiss.
Cheers from the audience filled the hall as money was sprayed in the air.
“They look so cute, gosh!” Valeria smiled happily.
“Hey! Let me in! My daughter is in there!!” They suddenly heard a scream and Romeo was forced to break the kiss.
They turned to the entrance just in time to see Mrs. Stone having a hot fight with the guards.
“$h|t!” Marcus cursed and quickly walked to them.
“What’s going on here?” He asked the guards.
“I’m here to see my daughter and they’re declining me right! That audacity!” Mrs. Stone fumed.
“Rosetta!!” Mr. Stone exclaimed when he saw Rosetta. He quickly ran towards her.
“Let her go, don’t cause a scene” Marcus whispered to the guard. The guard released Mrs. Stone and she rushed to Rosetta, holding her hand.
“Rosetta, you look so beautiful” she smiled, admiring the dress Rosetta wore.
Rosetta was dumbstruck as she stared at her in shock.
“It’s me, your mom. I’m sorry for everything, I’m really sorry. I promise to treat you right as from now,” Mrs. Stone continued talking.
Slowly, Rosetta removed her hand from hers before holding Romeo.
“I don’t know you, please take your leave” she shook her head, looking away from them.
“What? Rosetta, don’t you recognize your Dad? It’s me! Your father!” Mr. Stone said.
“I don’t know you!!!” Rosetta screamed, shaking her head in denial.
🗣️ What’s going on here?
🗣️ Did he get a pauper as his wife?
“Take them out of here, Romeo… Please,” Rosetta whispered, staring up at Romeo.
“Drag them out!” Romeo ordered loudly and soon, Mr. Stone and his wife were hauled out of the hall roughly.
“No, Rosetta! You can’t do this to me, I’m your mother!!!”
Romeo smirked as he watched them. That was what he wanted, the humiliation as they watched her turning into another woman overnight.
