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
TWO WEEKS LATER:"The Werewolves punished Phil and Marcus for breaking the rule and attacking that night. No one among their pack knew about it and It wasn't Alpha Marius's order. He was doing it on his own because of his enmity with.. ME". Venturo briefed his Grandfather Lawrence about all the recent events in the meeting room. "Hmm". Lawrence nodded. "How's Hendrick doing?". "Our Sire is doing very good work. None of the werewolves attacked our people and those already attacked are being assisted. We have provided new houses to them as well". Venturi told. "When will I meet Rhea?". Lawrence asked. "She has gone to the training hall.. she won't be back until noon". Venturo responded. "Okay.. then I'll rest for a while". Lawrence stood up. "Should I walk you to your room?". He asked."That'll be great, Son". He smiled at Venturo and took his hand for support. "Come on! COME ON! Show me what you've got, Lady Rhea". Adam shouted as he ran in the open field, bring chased by Rosali
FEW DAYS LATER:Rosalie was returning from the training hall when she decided to go and see Venturo. She hadn't seen him during the last couple of days. Walking towards his room, Rosalie heard him groaning. She became scared and thought something was wrong with him.Rosalie quickly opened the door, revealing a half-naked Venturo lying on the bed, with Sophie on his top, kissing him all over his face, neck and chest. Her eyes widened at the scene. She recalled a few days ago, she saw a bruise on Venturo's neck. "What is that on your neck, Venturo?". She asked worriedly. "Oh, just a bruise". Venturo shrugged, looking away. "How did you get it?". Rosalie touched his neck. "Does it matter?". He moved away. "Are you okay?". She grew suspicious. "Yes.. I'm fine. It's nothing to be worried about. Adam pinched me, that's all". He replied rudely. "That was a hickey!". Revelation dawned upon her and her eyes filled with tears. She stared at them in shock. Sophie looked back at her and
Late at night, under the dark, starry night, Venturo was lying on Adam's lap, as silent as a dove. His eyes were fixed at one place. A tear fell from his eye, travelling down towards the bridge of his nose. Adam touched him and took off his jacket, putting it on him. "You're cold, buddy". He said in a soft, gentle voice. Venturo didn't responded to what he said. After a long pause, Adam asked: "Are you in love with her?". It was like he was talking to a wall or something.. no reply. But he still continued. "Man! I've never seen anyone like this before. Now I understand how Uncle Hendrick used to be when Aunt Abigail moved out". "Sophie played a very dangerous game". Venturo finally spoke up. "She drove me away from Rosalie. I always knew she'll do something stupid. The way she looked at Rose was enough to figure that out". "Even then you did nothing". Adam said. "Look, you can't let her go like this. You spent all of your strength protecting Rosalie and all of your love loving he
Later that night, Rosalie finally came back to her senses. She sat up straight and looked around. Natalie was placing clean clothes on the couch nearby. She glanced at her and smiled. "Hey, how do you feel?". "Good". She rubbed her temples. "I have a headache though". "I will bring something to eat for you". Natalie said. "Then you'll take the medicine". "Hmm". Rosalie nodded. "How long was I .. unconscious?"."All day?". Natalie looked out the window. "Yeah.. it's ten in the evening now". Rosalie nodded. "I don't know what happened to me". "The doctor said you were having sleepless nights and depression". She walked at her and sat on the edge of the bed. "I'm glad you're okay now".Rosalie gave a nod. "Can I use the bathroom?". "Sure, go ahead..". Natalie smiled at her. Rosalie got up and walked into the bathroom. She washed up and came back, taking slow steps. "It hurts like hangovers". She groaned."Do you wanna go out, get some fresh air?". Natalie questioned. "No.. I'm
Venturo followed Rosalie into her room. "Rose! I wanna talk".The maid placed the dinner on the table and left the room. Rosalie turned around and glared at him. "What do you want?". "I want you to listen to me and believe me". He said. "I did that mistake once.. I won't do it again". She crossed her arms.Venturo's breath was getting heavy. He walked at her. "LISTEN.. to me". "I don't WANT to". She stepped away. Venturo opened his mouth to say something when a ringing phone interrupted him. He checked his pockets. It wasn't his phone. His eyes widened. "Rose?". Rosalie swallowed and moved back. "DO YOU HAVE A PHONE?". He yelled angrily. "I - I don't". She felt like a deer in headlights. Venturo tried to locate the sound and went into the bathroom. "Venturo! Wait!". She followed him inside. Rosalie tried to grab his arm to stop him but he yanked it away and opened the closet. He shuffled through her clothes throwing them on the floor and finally found the phone. He realized
