Venturo kept on exchanging glances at Rosalie but didn't went to her. He just stared at her from a distance. Frustrated, Rosalie walked towards her Father and stood beside him. "So, for how long will you keep me here?". "You're my Heiress". Hendrick replied. "You'll become the next leader of the Vampires". "Your Nephew only told me about protecting me.. he didn't mentioned me becoming a heiress!". She exclaimed. "Yeah.. he didn't wanted you to freak out". Hendrick shrugged. "What's your and Abigail's story?". She asked."We fell in love when we lived in Italy. She went to Italy to study and I was her classmate. We married and then we moved to America and settled here. We were insanely in love with each other but when you were born, and it was revealed that you're not a Vampire, I had to send her away.. divorce her". He told. "Wow! You have a heart of stone, Hendrick.. I'm impressed". She said. "You know, both of you aren't good parents.. you didn't gave your affection to Rhea and
Rosalie had almost finished eating. She talked to Venturo while having her DINNER. "Oh My God! I'm so full". She said."Eat this last chicken wing". He pointed at the last wing resting on the table. "I .. can't!". Rosalie tried to hold back her burp. "It'll go wasted, come on". He stood up and walked to her."I'll try". She said. As she was about to take a bite, they heard a loud thud. Venturo groaned. "I guess they followed me". "Who? Your family?". She asked, placing the wing back on the plate."The werewolves". He replied. "Venturo!". She grabbed his arm."Shh". He shushed her, eyes fixated on the window. He quickly picked up the last wing and gestured her to eat it. "You don't know when you'll eat again". She took it and ate it. As she finished eating, Venturo whispered into her ear. "Go into the room and shut the door closed". "What about you?". She asked."Don't worry about me". He replied. "Go now". Venturo closed the door as she stepped inside. "Rosalie, lock it!".
Back at home, Hendrick wandered restlessly here and there while others watched him. No one dared say a word. Luciana, the nanny was dressing Venturo's wounds quietly. Sarah entered the room with Rosalie following her close behind. She stopped and gestured her to moved forwards. Rosalie stood at a distance from Hendrick. He stopped and glared at her. "I TOLD YOU TO BEHAVE!". He yelled. Venturo tried to get up to interfere but Luciana grabbed him by his arm to stop him.Rosalie didn't even flinched and crossed her arms over her chest. "I promised myself that I'll make you regret". "We are trying to keep you safe-". "And use me as well". Rosalie interrupted him. "Save it". "Behave yourself, Rhea". Hendrick gritted his teeth. "Who are you to say that?". Rosalie arched her eyebrow."Me? I'm your father". He replied."Ahem.. no.. Father is someone who is affectionate, kindhearted, he can loose his everything when he sees his children in pain. What kind of father are you? To be hones
The next morning, when the sun was still down, Rosalie got up and searched for water. She looked at the nightstand but there wasn't anything. Getting up from the bed, she walked towards the door and tried to open it but it was locked. "What-". She was surprised. "Hendrick!". She groaned.After a while, the door opened itself. Viper was standing outside, looking at her. "Hello, Lady Rhea.. do you need something?". "I'm thirsty". She said. "Oh, okay .. you stay inside.. I'll go get the water". Viper replied. "No! Just show me where the kitchen is and I'll go myself". Rosalie stopped him."Should I buy it?". Viper raised an eyebrow. "Of course, I'll be back in no time". She said. "Trust me, Viper". "Okay". Viper left the way. "Don't try to run away.. Monsieur Vladimir has increased the security around the mansion. You won't be able to escape anyways". Rosalie rolled her eyes and walked away. After getting some water from the kitchen, she climbed the stairs again and decided to g
Rosalie explored the mansion and searched for an escape but every single door that could lead out was locked. "They did it on purpose". She groaned and kept on walking in the corridors. Some familiar voices caught her attention and she stopped to locate them. There was a big double door ahead. It was slightly open. She peeked inside and found a big round table, around which Hendrick, Vladimir, Brett and Jonas were sitting. Adam was standing beside Hendrick, telling him something from a piece of paper lying on the table. Hendrick kept on pressing his left palm in the middle using his right thumb. Rosalie noticed it at once. She used to do the same to reveal stress. Feeling frustrated, she looked at the other members. Jonas was clearly not paying attention to what Adam was saying and Vladimir was taking notes. Brett listened to his son quietly. "What you're trying to say is that there are two moles?". Hendrick asked Adam. Adam looked at him confusingly. "What? No! I didn't meant tha
Venturo knocked on Hendrick's office door. "Come in". Hendrick said from inside. Venturo entered the office and closed the door gentle behind him. He waited for him to allow him to sit. "Sit down, Son". Hendrick said. Venturo smiled and sat down on the chair in front of him. "What is it?". Hendrick asked. "I wanted to ask for your permission". Venturo replied. "Permission? For what?". He placed the papers he was reading away. "Ros- Rhea wants to go to the city tomorrow to attend her roommate's wedding". Venturo told. "So, she sent you". Hendrick chuckled. "Uh.. yeah". Venturo nodded. "Boy, she really IS my daughter". He said. "She isn't allowed to go out, you know that". "She.. promised that she won't run away". Venturo said. "Oh really?". Hendrick arched his eyebrows. "I can't allow". "Uncle.. please". Venturo pleaded. "Are you seriously interceding on her behalf?". Hendrick glared at him."I.. Kind of". Venturo shrugged. "I mean, it will be good for her to go out and
The next day, Venturo waited for Rosalie outside on his bike to take her to the city. "I'm so excited!". Rosalie ran at him, jumping excitingly. Venturo smiled. "God! Look at you!". "You have no idea how happy I am". Rosalie sat behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist from the back. "Let's go!"."Yeah". Venturo nodded. The engine roared and they drove away. "Where are they going?". Sophie stood in the main door, watching them as they left."To a wedding". Natalie replied. "How did Uncle Hendrick allow that? She could run away!". Sophie exclaimed."Relax.. Venturo's with her. She won't do anything stupid". Natalie rolled her eyes. "That's the problem.. she's trying to steal him from me". Sophie gritted her teeth. "Oh? So, that's the reason why you hate her?". Natalie chuckled sarcastically. "YES! I love Venturo.. he's only mine". Sophie nodded furiously. "Whoa! I'm don't want to have this conversation with you, calm down, girl!". Natalie said and walked away. Sophie fr
Rosalie looked at Venturo confusingly. He walked closer to her. "Uncle Hendrick allowed me to take you to the wedding on a condition that you will talk to the police and submit your statement that you went with us willingly". He said in a low voice."What?". Rosalie looked at him surprisingly. "I'm sorry, Rose". Venturo said sadly. "Oh God! You-". Rosalie saw them approaching closer. "Shit". She glared at Venturo and turned to face the cops. "Miss White.. it's a pleasure to see you back again". The cop said. "Hello, Officer.. how can I help?". Rosalie asked politely. "We came to know that you're back.. actually, your father had filed a kidnap case". The officer told. "Yeah". Rosalie glanced back at Venturo. "Sir, that's the FBI guy". Other cop whispered in the officer's ear. "He's my boyfriend". Rosalie said, holding Venturo's hand tightly. "Boyfriend?". The officer arched his eyebrow. "Yeah.. and my cousin too. My Family.. The Lombardis, invited me to dinner and then told m
Rosalie, Venturo and Adam entered the house, chatting and laughing with each other, seemingly happy for their success. Sarah appeared from the living room and greeted them. "My children are back!". She pulled all three of them into a big hug happily. "I heard the news, congratulations!". "Thank you, Aunt Sarah". Rosalie replied with a grin. "How do you feel about your first conquest?". Natalie asked as she walked at them. "Great!". Rosalie responded. "I'm looking forward to more in the future". "Ofcourse! And I'm gonna be with you, Rhea". Adam said. "I know that". Rosalie gave him a back pat. "If it wasn't for you, how could I fight? I engaged in a boxing game with one of them you know". She chuckled and then turned to Venturo. "And a lot of thanks to him who stayed by my side as my shield". Venturo smiled warmly at her, locking his eyes. "It's my duty, My Rose". Rosalie stood on her toes to reach his lips and kissed on them. "I love you". She whispered. "I love you to
Rosalie turned to Hendrick. Tears filled her eyes as she held his hand gently. "Father". She said in a low voice. Her lips trembled and cheeks soon became wet with tears. "..Please wake up". Hee voice was not more than a whisper. Probably, she didn't wanted anyone to hear or she wasn't able to speak because of her emotions. ".. I - Rhea needs you". Hendrick's body remained motionless while she spoke her heart out. ".. you're a great father and a great leader. Rhea is proud to be your daughter. She's ready to become your heiress but she cannot do it without you.. she needs you to teach her". Rosalie sat beside her Father the whole night and in the morning, when someone knocked on the door, she permitted them inside. Venturo entered the room. "Rose". He ran at her. "You've been sitting here since last night, don't do this to yourself"."I just- I want him to recover". Rosalie bursted into tears, burying her head in his chest.Venturo stroked her back, trying to console her. "He'll
Rosalie was searching for Lucas and Venturo when she heard someone's low voice. "Rhea? Is that you?". She turned to her left and found Lucas standing beside a big tree. "Lucas!". She ran to him. "I did it! I beat him". Lucas stared at her and then suddenly, leaned in for a hug. Rosalie hugged him tightly. "Thank you so much, Rhea". He said."Oh, it's nothing". Rosalie pulled away. She saw tears in Lucas' eyes. "Hey, don't cry, you should be happy". Lucas composed himself and nodded. "I will go see him now"."I used my powers, he'll die in half an hour.. you can go and calm your soul down by watching him die". Rosalie suggested.Lucas' eyes lit up. "That's even better!". "Uhuh- yeah". Rosalie gave a nod. "I should go then!". Lucas said. "As for your soulmate.. he's over there.. near that palm tree. He's been waiting for you and even scolded me that I didn't let him help you". "I'm sorry for that". Rosalie replied. "No worries.. I know how lovers behave". He chuckled. "Anyways,
Lucas took Rosalie to Alpha Steven who was waiting for her in the living room. He turned around as she entered. "Mi amor! You're finally here". He said. Rosalie glared at him. "What do you want, Steven?".Steven grinned and walked closer to her. "Babies". Rosalie stared into his eyes as he lifted her chin up. "You're the most powerful Vampiress in the Lombardi Family and I believe that if I mate you, our children will be true hybrids and the most powerful in the history". He replied. "You cannot do that against my wish, can you?". "I don't need to convince you, Mi Amor". Steven chuckled. "I have you in my house and I can do whatever I want with you".He then looked out of the window. "It's night already and it's a full moon.. it's perfect for mating". Turning back, he glanced at Lucas. "You useless piece of shit.. take her and prepare her for our big night". "Aye, My Alpha". Lucas gave a polite nod. He grabbed Rosalie roughly by her arm and pulled her out of the room. He took he
Amidst the chaos, the once-quiet halls of the vampire mansion echoed with snarls and the clash of fangs against fur. Moonlight spilled through shattered windows, casting an eerie glow on the battleground. Adam, his eyes ablaze with determination, barked orders like a general orchestrating a dark symphony. "VIPER! RUN UPSTAIRS AND GUARD MIA AND NATALIE! I WANT THEM SAFE AND SOUND". He said. Moving forwards, he came face to face with his father, Brett. He looked at Adam with an innocent expression. "VENTURO AND RHEA". He said. Adam's eyes widened. "They..". He looked around and found a fellow vampire fighting. "ANTONIO". The Vampire looked back at him. "What is it?". He asked. "Go into the forest and look for Venturo and Rhea..". Adam told him. "As you wish". Antonio nodded and shifted into a bat, flying away. Adam then turned to his father. Brett was sad and speechless. "Father! We have to fight". Brett gave a weak nod and stood with his son, facing the Werewolves that leaped at
Rosalie was combing her hair in the room when someone knocked on the door. "Come on in, Viper". She said.But it wasn't Viper, it was Hendrick. He walked inside with a smile. Rosalie turned around. "Oh, It's you, Sire". She said. "Yeah.. how you doing?". He asked. "I'm doing great!". She moved towards him and offered him to sit down.Hendrick looked around in the room. "Venturo's room always gave me a different vibe. Some powerful vibe.. and it's yours too now"."Yes". Rosalie blushed. "I'm lucky to have him in my life". Hendrick smiled."Where were you by the way?". She questioned."I was busy doing some work.. making sure no one tries to hurt my princess again". He said, sitting down."Thank you for that". Rosalie nodded. "But the danger is not on the outside.. it's on the inside". "I'm still working on it, dear.. give me some time". He said. Rosalie gave a nod. "Tell me, won't Uncle Jonas be angry with you about what you did to both of his children?". "What? He knows very w
Rosalie lied on Venturo's lap on his bed, half naked. Venturo was sitting on the bed, his back resting on the headboard. He drew circles with his fingers on her skin with a satisfied smile."It was.. amazing". She smiled at him. "Yeah.. mind-blowing". Venturo nodded. "Do you think they noticed my disappearance?". She asked. "No". Venturo shook his head. "They know"."Hmm". Rosalie gave a nod. "You know I'm not a kind of guy that's interested in your body only.. I mean, It's amazing! More beautiful than I imagined but what actually pulls me to you is your heart". Venturo told. "I know, love". Rosalie chuckled. "You would have made a move a long time ago if you were like all other guys". Venturo grinned. "You know me well". "Yeah..". She responded. "I really appreciate your patience with me, Venturo". Venturo sat up straight and Rosalie followed suit. "You're mine, okay?". "I'm yours". Rosalie nodded with a smile. Venturo moved at her and kissed on her forehead. "Do you wanna
After bidding goodbye to her parents, Rosalie left the house with Adam and the box full of chocolate chip cookies Bianca baked. Adam and Rosalie enjoyed them during their ride to the hospital. "Do you want to come inside?". She asked as they parked the car in the parking lot. "I mean it's a safe place". Adam shrugged. "Plus.. we don't want these delicious cookies to be left alone, do we?". Rosalie giggled. "Okay". She stepped out. "Leave some for Venturo and Natalie". "I can't promise you". He chuckled. Rosalie closed the door and walked inside the hospital. "Yeah.. so, you have to take these medicines I prescribed regularly so the damage caused to the brain is healed. But if you don't, we'll have to opt for the surgery". Kian talked to his patient in his room. "Thank you so much, Doctor". The patient said and took the prescription slip from him. "It's my duty". Kian smiled. "Take care and don't stress too much". The patient nodded and soon, he left the room. After a while,
Rosalie washed up and walked downstairs to join everyone else in the living room next morning. She smiled at everyone and greeted them. "Morning!". "Looks like someone's in a really good mood". Adam said. "Do you want me to switch to my actual self?". She cocked her eyebrow. "Definitely no!". Natalie smacked Adam to stop talking. "Are you insane? She finally started acting like the part of our family". "I was just surprised!". Adam replied. Sarah smiled at Rosalie. "Come here and sit down, Rhea". She offered. Rosalie nodded and sat beside Venturo on the couch, eyeing him with a grin. "I wanted to ask, why did you guys named me Rhea?". "And she likes the name too now! Can I worship you, Venturo? This is all because of you!". Adam said. "Stop it!". Natalie was still scared that Rosalie's attitude will change. "Don't worry, Natalie.. I'm not gonna change now". She said. "Rhea is the name of one of Saturn's moon, dear". Vladimir told. "Hendrick's selenophile so he named you that
