THE CEO BRIDE - CHAPTER 50&51
★★★★★
The sounds of the waves crashing woke Rosetta up. She released a satisfied Mõ@?, a smile forming on her beautiful face. She opened her blurry eyes and her smile grew wider when she saw her husband beside her. Their faces were so close and she could feel his hot breath on her face.
Last night, he never let her go. He was literally everywhere, not missing a chance without holding her to him. This was a rare sight and of course, she loved that. It’s so great to think the man everyone actually feared is right beside her, acting all clingy and cute.
“You can keep staring all day, it’s all yours,” the words came out freely from his mouth. Rosetta chuckled before snuggling closer to his huge body, feeling safe instantly.
“Don’t think so highly of yourself, hubby” she rolled her eyes and she felt him chuckle. His hand moved around her back, caressing her softly.
“Of course I have to! And, you don’t have to be ironic, wifey. I know I’m hot,” Rosetta giggled when she heard that. She moved back a bit to see him opening his eyes just in time. Their eyes locked and the next thing he did was to lean down and kiss her.
Rosetta gladly welcomed his mouth on hers. This was something she was already getting used to, besides she could never imagine anyone touching her except for him. It was as though her body was meant for him.
“Sweet as ever,” Romeo remarked after pulling their lips apart. His tongue crept out of his mouth and licked his lower lip, tasting the sweetness of her mouth.
“How was your night?” He asked softly, cradling her face to his chest. Rosetta Mõ@?ed in satisfaction, she always felt safe whenever she’s around him. Is it with the way his big hands are always wrapped around her protectively? Or the way his body was just like a huge blanket that makes her feel warm?
“What do you expect? Having a clingy husband that wouldn’t even let me go for a second! Bad, of course!” Rosetta retorted, rolling her eyes.
Romeo frowned greatly. Clingy? Was he acting clingy? Wasn’t this romantic?
He had actually browsed on how to be a romantic husband the previous day. Marcus’s words couldn’t leave his mind and he knew within himself that he was right. He had been neglecting her way too much and he was always stiff around her.
He wanted to change. And he had to do something, so he browsed it. It was stated that a husband should be there for his wife Everytime and that’s exactly what he’s doing! He’s there for her even while she’s in the kitchen, even when she’s drinking water, he had to be there. Who knows if she might choke?
“I’m too clingy?” He finally asked the word that was beginning to haunt him. He was the one who never had the time for stuff like this. Even while he was still dating Helena, he was never giving her attention. Helena had always complained about it but he just had to make her understand it’s his nature.
And now, he’s trying to be better for this wife of his and he had to be rewarded with clingy? Seriously?
“Yes, you are!” Rosetta scoffed, not aware that her words were hurting her husband deeply.
“And, you don’t like it that way?” Romeo asked and she suddenly grew silent. She stared at him to meet his serious gaze on her. Okay, why was he suddenly taking this seriously? This was meant to be a joke, right?
“Answer me, Rosetta” Rosetta almost choked on her breath when she heard her name from his lips. She was used to him calling her endearing names, but now… Was he mad at her?
“You don’t like me being clingy? Then, should I stop?” He asked again.
“That was a joke, okay? Gosh, do you have to be so serious?” She chuckled, trying to make things stop being awkward between them.
“Then, you love it?” He asked and she groaned. Can he just stop tormenting her with his questions?
“It’s too early for interrogation, Romeo. Gosh!” She slapped her forehead and got out of the bed. She was just in a lingerie, with a short singlet covering it up
Rosetta didn’t fail to notice Romeo’s eyes tracing every of her movement. She cackled inwardly, he never seemed to take his eyes off her!
“Isn’t it too early for you to be this beautiful?” Romeo asked, getting out of the bed too. He was just in a short, he sauntered towards her.
“And isn’t it too early for you to be naughty, Mr. Knight?” She suddenly froze when she realized what she had just uttered.
In the next second, she could her legs swinging in the way as Romeo flung her over his shoulder.
“Put me down, Romeo!” She thrashed her legs and a spank from Romeo made her stop abruptly.
Her eyes widened like saucers when it dawned on her that he had just spanked her @zz!
“Stay still and take your punishment like a little girl you are,” her body shivered at the unexpected words.
Like that, Romeo walked to the bathroom with her in his arms and somehow, Rosetta knew she was dead.
Isabella laid on the bed, sleeping soundly. She was fast asleep but there were traces of tears in her eyes. Her low whimpers could be heard as her face squeezes in pain occasionally.
She was still naked, with her body full of marks and bruises. Last night, Freudian never stopped raping her. Yes, she’d call it rape since it was against her will.
He only stopped when she almost lost her consciousness, releasing his dirty semen inside her. Then, he left the room. She never set her eyes on him after that time since she slept off after washing her body.
Slowly, her eyes fluttered open and she Mõ@?ed in pain when she couldn’t move her legs. It felt sore and it was d@mn painful for her.
Thinking about her life, tears rolled down her cheeks. This marriage was and will always be against her will, she h@??d Freudian with every being in her.
Her father forced her into this hellish marriage. Few months after that, he died, leaving her in the cruel hands of this monster…. Her so-called husband.
If it were up to her, she’d have left. But, it was impossible since she was trapped. Maybe this was her fate, to suffer till she dies.
The door opened and a maid entered. Her eyes widened when she saw the state Isabella was in and she immediately rushed to her.
“Mrs. Castillo!” She exclaimed, helping Isabella to sit up.
“Are you okay? Should I get the Doctor?” The maid asked worriedly. Isabella shook her head before smiling faintly.
“No, you don’t have to. I’ll be fine,” she said hoarsely. The maid sighed sadly before pulling Isabella to a comforting hug.
“It’s okay, ma’am. You’ll be fine,” she whispered while tears rolled down Isabella’s cheeks.
“Why isn’t he picking up?” Diego panicked after trying Marcus’s number to no avail. He had just woken up that morning to realize the company’s stock price had gone low!
“f-__-k!” He cussed, dialing Romeo’s number immediately. Romeo picked up after the fourth ring.
“What is it, Diego?” Romeo’s lazy voice came up from the other side. Diego knew immediately that he had woken Romeo up from his slumber.
“I’m sorry, Boss. I’ve been trying Sir Marcus’s number for a while now to no avail. I had to call you,” Diego rushed his words. He knew he wasn’t meant to disturb Romeo since he was on his honeymoon, but he had to! Things were pretty getting out of hand.
“What is it, Diego?” Rome asked calmly, but in a controlled voice.
“There’s a problem, Boss. The stock prices are getting low, and…. I think you need to be here,” Diego stuttered in fear. He was sweating profusely as the thought of them going bankrupt filled his mind.
“I knew it,” he heard Romeo mumbling under his breath.
“I’ll be back tomorrow, and… Keep checking what went wrong, I’ll call Marcus” Romeo instructed
“Alright, Boss” the call ended and Marcus immediately went back to his computer. After logging in, his blood suddenly went cold at the sight in front of him.
They are going down!!!!!!
Staring at the mirror, all Marcus saw was a pale looking man staring at him. His face had gone pale over the night since he had a hard time trying to sleep. His thoughts were filled with her.
He had planned his proposal already, and that will be when Romeo and Rosetta arrive at the airport. He was to propose when she was least expecting it and Romeo was perfectly aware about it since they both shared ideas together.
But now, things had to go sour between them. He shook his head before washing his face with cool water. After that, he wiped his face with a small towel before leaving the bathroom.
“Val…” He found himself calling her name. He missed her, everything about her.
The memories of their moments together started flashing to his mind. Their make out, the sêx! He was the one who deflowered her, he was the first man in her life.. her first love and that was one of the reasons why he respected her a lot.
The numerous nights they spent together couldn’t stop leaving his mind. Their countless dates, her smiles… Their breakup and their reconciliation.
All these wouldn’t stop leaving his mind and he didn’t know when he picked his car keys, hurrying to the door. This was it, he couldn’t take it anymore. Come what may, he was proposing right away! He can never ignore her, she was his all!
He opened the door just to meet Valeria about to enter the room. Time stood still as they both stared at each other speechlessly. She was just in her nightie, her hair was messy and her face smeared with her eyeliner. She was also barefooted but nevertheless… She was beautiful!
“Marcus…” She called slowly. In the next minute, Marcus closed the little gap between them and bumped Valeria’s lips into a breathless kiss.
Valeria immediately went on her tiptoes, kissing him back with the same excitement and ferocity. She was getting crazy as the minutes passed. She never slept a wink the previous night, her thoughts were occupied with him alone.
Call it Obsession or whatsoever, she was in love with this man! Crazily in love and she doesn’t think…. No, she can’t live without him.
Breaking the hot and breathless kiss, Marcus held her cheeks slowly, looking deep into her eyes.
“Don’t stay away, Val. I almost died,” he whispered and Valeria smiled. That smile that he missed!
“It was hell for me,” she mumbled with a pout. Marcus kissed her briefly again, again and again.
“I love you. I love you very much, Valeria. You’re my life,” he whispered.
“You’re my world,” Valeria whispered and he lost it. He hoisted her to his arms, holding her by the hips.
“Stay with me forever… Val” with that, he crashed his lips on hers, taking time in exploring her sweet mouth.
Rosetta didn’t fail to notice Romeo’s sour mood throughout that day. It was evening time and he was still in the room. He had been in there for hours, it was more like he was avoiding her.
As she set the last dish on the table, she released a sigh before making her way into the bedroom.
She found him by the bed, typing very fast on his laptop. He was so engrossed in wh@??ver he was doing that he failed to notice her presence in the room.
“Romeo?” She called and that was when he raised his head to look at her. She flashed a warm smile at him.
“It’s time for dinner,” she announced.
“I’m not hungry, you should eat without me” Romeo’s attention went back to his laptop.
Rosetta frowned. She marched towards him in anger and snatched the laptop away from him.
“What the hell are you doing that’s so important than me?” She snapped. Okay, where’s that coming from?
“Give that to me, Rose” Romeo said calmly but Rosetta was adamant.
“Hand it over, Rose. I’m in no mood for play,” He said and yet again, she was stubborn, refusing to hand it over to him.
Romeo got to his feet and made to collect it from her. Rosetta tried to run out but he caught her, dragging her to him. The laptop fell in the process and Rosetta’s eyes widened.
“I… I didn’t mean to! I..” Romeo left the room before she could utter a word.
“Romeo…I,” she made to rush after him but on a second thought, she stopped and went to pick the laptop.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered.
That night, neither of them touched the dinner as Romeo completely left the house. After waiting for hours and him still not returning, Rosetta went ahead to trash the food.
Presently, Rosetta was in the bedroom, traces of tears in her eyes. Strangely, the thought of Romeo being mad at her hurts to the core. She was in such deep pain that it suddenly felt hard for her to breathe.
“I’m sorry. Just come back home,” she chants as her tears fall from her cheeks non-stop.
Like fate could have it, the door creaked and Romeo showed up. Rosetta immediately got to her feet and rushed to him.
“Romeo…” He walked past her before she could say a word, going into the bathroom.
Rosetta’s lips trembled as more tears escaped her eyes. This side of him hurts… It hurts a lot.
She waited patiently till he returned, rubbing his hair with a small towel.
“Romeo… I” she swallowed hard. After mustering enough courage, she walked to him and hugged him from behind, releasing soft cries.
“I’m sorry. Don’t avoid me, it hurts” she cried, holding him tight for the fear of him walking away like he does.
After what seemed like forever, his big hands wrapped around hers which were on his tummy and he gently released himself.
He turned around and on seeing her red eyes, he cursed inwardly. His hand went to her face and cleaned her tears off.
“Why did you cry?” He asked in a strained voice. He looked stressed, and that didn’t go unnoticed by Rosetta.
“You were avoiding me,” she sniffed and he chuckled.
“Such a crybaby,” he mumbled. He leaned closer and placed a loving kiss on her forehead.
“I’m sorry about your laptop, I didn’t mean to…”
“Forget about that, it’s nothing” Romeo cuts her off and there was suddenly silence, with Rosetta staring into his eyes.
Suddenly, she moved into his arms, pressing her head on his chest. She could feel his steady heartbeat as his hands went around her.
“Don’t avoid me again, Romeo. I don’t know, but it hurts when you do so,” she whispered, her voice filled with emotions.
“I’m sorry, Vita mia {My life}” Romeo murmured softly and Rosetta released a satisfied smile, feeling safe in his arms.
