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, 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
The hospital was buzzing with patients and nurses ran here and there, trying to assist all the accident victims. Bodies drenched in blood were lying on the stretchers, nurses rushed into the emergency with them. "Hurry up! Tell the paramedics to reach there on time". A doctor shouted at the nurses as he made his way into the emergency. "Doctor! We are losing them". A nurse walked along a senior doctor. "Everything's gonna be alright.. let's hope for the best". The doctor replied and went into the emergency. "Hurry! This way!". A paramedic led the stretchers in. "Please! Please help me! My father, I'll lose him". A guy came in crying as he pulled a stretcher behind him on which an old aged man was lying. His head was bleeding. "Holy sh-". Doctor Benji said as he looked at the patient. He looked up at the nurses. "Take him to the ICU, he's badly injured.. Fred, run to the neurology department and call Doctor Rosalie. Tell her that we need her". The nurse ran away to get the doct
Rosalie came out of the emergency room, tears welled up in her eyes as she sat on the chair outside in the corridor. She put her hands on her face and cried.Ross came at her after a while. "Sweetheart? What happened?". Rosalie looked up and hugged her father. Her lab coat and hands were red in blood. "I cannot bare to see them like this". She cried. Ross took a deep breath and stroked her back. "I know, it's painful". "I want to save them, all of them, Daddy". Rosalie pulled herself back. "They'll be fine, you did your best and saved dozens of lives before, Sweetheart". Ross smiled at her. "That's not enough". She sat back in defeat. "You did your best, no one can do anything above this, Rosalie.. you can just pray now, God will heal them". He reassured his daughter. She sighed, still unsatisfied. "I'll go get changed". "Yes, and let's head home now, it's two in the morning". Ross gave a nod. "Doctor Rosalie?". A nurse hurriedly rushed at them. "What?". She turned to him.
"I swear I'll kill him". Hendrick wandered restlessly in the living room, while other stood watching him. "I declare war as well". "What?". Vladimir said. "We can't declare war, Hendrick!". Jonas replied. "Jonas is right.. it's better if we don't react to Marius' stupid declaration". Brett nodded. "We cannot sit and let them destroy us, yes?". Hendrick said angrily. "Uncle, we cannot do anything now that they have occupied our areas and that we have a mole". Venturo said politely."What should we do then, young man?". Hendrick asked. "We should..". Venturo looked at his Mother. She nodded at him. "We should try to work on our weaknesses, find the mole and now we have another responsibility.. If Marius finds your daughter, he'll kill her and The Lombardis will be no more". "Responsibility?". Hendrick tried to figure out what his nephew said. "You mean, we should find Rhea?". "Exactly, we should find her and bring her here so that she remains safe. Marius is a clever guy, if he
Venturo was preparing to go to the city when a tall, black haired, bearded guy who was wearing a bandana on his head,came to him with a grin on his face. "Hey, hey, hey! Where are you going wearing this bad boy outfit?". He chuckled. Venturo was wearing a simple outfit, a t-shirt and pants but they seemed awful to the guy because he always dressed up like a vampire in the house, wearing old fashioned clothes. "Going out?". He asked. Venturo wore his socks hurriedly. "I'm going to the city". "For what?". He asked again."Why on earth do you ask so many questions, Adam?". Venturo said. "Uncle Hendrick called me back to New York when I was enjoying the best days of my life in Vegas.. reasons? unknown!". He replied, placing his hands on his hips. "Oh? You don't know yet". Venturo stood up. "So, we have a cousin, Adam". "A cousin? I don't know what you're talking about. Uncle Jonas had three children and it's only you from Uncle Vladimir and Aunt Abigail ran away so, apparently, Unc
Benji watched Rosalie as she silently ate her food. He was feeling so excited. "What are you looking at?". Rosalie asked. "I just can't believe I'm finally dating you". Benji replied."The night will end and you still won't believe, Doc". She smiled. "Believe it!". "I'm trying!". He looked away. Rosalie pursed her lips and smirked. "You look dashing". "And you look..". "Amazing? Try another word, you say that every morning at the hospital". Rosalie said."HEAVENLY". Benji said.She stopped chewing and looked up at him. "I do?"."Yes". He nodded. "Glad to hear that!". She smiled.Venturo knocked at the door. "I'm not going away without Rhea". He was determined.They found Abigail's house and were standing outside. "I heard Aunt was beautiful". Adam said."Obviously, she was the one who made a guy like Uncle Hendrick's heart pound". Venturo replied."Point". Adam nodded. After a few more knocks, the door opened. It was the same woman, Bianca's best friend, Rosalie's aunt. Her
The next morning,as Rosalie entered her office and placed her phone on the table, Someone bursted into the room, not bothering to even knock. "Hey! What is this behavior?". She said. Rosalie's heart skipped a beat when she saw Kian standing in front of her, red in anger. She never saw him this angry before."Are you okay?". She asked, frozen at her place."Are YOU okay?". He glared at her. "What.. do you mean?". Rosalie rubbed her hands together as beads of sweat formed on her forehead."You went on a date with Benji, right?". Kian asked."I did". She nodded. "Is that a problem?". "He is my rival.. he used to be my rival in highschool and college.. he was always on a competition with me. You went on a DATE with him? Seriously?". He walked at her. "It's my life, Kian.. did I ever questioned you about who you were dating?". Rosalie asked."I am dating no one". He replied."Like I'm gonna believe you". She chuckled sarcastically. "Listen up, Edwins! You shouldn't care who I date.. an
