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
The next day, Viper brought clothes for Rosalie and took her to the training hall after she had her breakfast. Adam was punching a punch bag in the corner. He looked at the door as Viper and Rosalie entered. "Hey, Lady Rhea". He smiled and took off his bandana. Rosalie looked around. There was a boxing ring in the farthest corner, a glass door lead to a small gym and the hall was almost empty with some bull's-eye hanging on the left wall. Adam walked at her. "Do you like it?". "It's.. good". She gave a nod. "I set it up myself". He told proudly. "I see.. you can do other stuff too! In addition to telling lies". Rosalie smirked. Adam looked at her shamefully. "I'm sorry". "Let's start.. shall we?". She asked. "Yeah.. Viper.. you can leave now, thank you very much". Adam said. Viper gave a nod and left. "So, let's start". He took a deep breath. "Alright". Rosalie nodded. "First, you need to warm up". Adam took her to the gym. Rosalie spent some time in the gym, warming up
