At Knight's Palace
Rosaline's P.O.V.
Today is the grand day of my life. Why? Because today I am going to get married to my "My Prince Charming".
Let me introduce myself. My name is Rosaline Browns and I am 21 years old. My boyfriend is none other than Xavier Knight, my childhood crush. Xavier is two years older than me. He is a billionaire and the most lucrative and renowned business tycoon of America.
Xavier proposed me last year. And guess what? Isn't it obvious? I happily accepted it. Who wouldn't accept if their childhood crush asked them to get married? Funny isn't it?
I've been in love with him when I didn't even know the meaning of love. I don't care if he is rich or not. For me love means Xavier. He also told me that I am the only girl in his life and he loves me from the depth of his heart.
Right now there are a bunch of makeup artists who are dolling me up. After getting ready, I finally checked myself in the mirror.
"Ma'am you look gorgeous", one of the stylists complimented me. I blushed at her comment. I took a last look at myself and was about to exit the room when all of a sudden my phone rang.
I checked the caller ID only to see my best friend Nick calling me. Nick is a secret agent working for U.S. Intelligence Agency.
Nobody knew his secret except me.
"You all go. I'll be there in a few minutes", I said to the girls. They nodded and left the room. I immediately picked up the call.
"Hey Nick wh-"
"Just open the window, Rosie".
I flinched after hearing his harsh tone. I immediately hurried towards the window and opened it. Nick then jumped into my room.
"Hey! Spiderman. Good to see you", I chuckled.
"I have no time for this bullshit, okay? Just take this", he spoke gruffly as he handed over me a file.
"What's this?" I asked him as I was completely bewildered by his behavior.
"Just see", he spoke in a stern tone. I don't know but all of a sudden my heart started beating faster. I was feeling so scared.
He then opened the front page of the file. My heart dropped in my stomach. All the blood got drained off my face. My hands started trembling in fear.
"It was a picture of Xavier with WANTED written under it in bold"
I immediately shot my head up with tears streaming down my face.
"What's this?" I asked Nick in a shaky voice. He then held my shoulders tightly and spoke while staring in my eyes guiltily. "I know I shouldn't have done this. But there is no option left to save you now." I looked at him confused although my heart was thundering wildly in my chest.
"What are you talking about?" I started panicking. Nick then took a heavy sigh and finally dropped the bomb.
"Rosie, Xavier Knight is a Mafia", I became stunned by his reply.
"He is not any fucking businessman, Rosie. He is the boss of the world's most dangerous and fearsome gang "THE BLACK SWAN". He lied to you. Xavier is madly obsessed with you, Rosaline. He is a dangerous lunatic who will do anything to have you. You as well as your parents are in a great danger. You need to run away from him now", Nick explained on one go while I kept crying and shaking my head in denial. I was not able to believe the bitter truth.
"NO... he won't d-", I couldn't complete my sentence when suddenly Nick clasped my mouth with his palms making me shut.
"Don't yell Rosie. I am just trying to protect you. If you scream they'll kill me", Nick rasped. My eyes widened.
'What the hell is going on?'
"But why? And why tell me now?" I whimpered. He sighed and removed his palm from my mouth.
"Rosie, I have been dying to tell you this since so many years but Xavier always kept an eye on me and forbade me to even meet you. You don't know, he had even tried to kill me many times but somehow I was able to escape from this beast's claws. You quickly need to leave, Rosie. We don't have much time". He tried to grab my hand but I pulled it away as I was still in a shock.
"No Nick!!I love him and he loves me too. He would never-
"DO YOU WANT YOUR PARENTS TO DIE?", Nick whisper yelled making me gasp in shock.
"Rosie, I can't explain you in detail now. You need to leave with me and don't worry about Uncle and Aunty, I will escort them secretly. Then you all need to rush to the airport and leave America quickly. I had already planned everything." Nick again tried to drag me but I didn't budge as I was still in a daze. He looked at me back.
"Please Rosaline, I beg you", he pleaded with teary eyes.
My mind became blank. I couldn't comprehend anything. He then held my hand and dragged me towards the window forcibly but before we both could leave all of a sudden a gunshot echoed in the room making me jump in fear. Nick fell down on the floor. I couldn't process what just happened now? Blood started oozing from his head.
"NICK!" I screamed as I saw his body covered in a pool of blood. I immediately bent down but a strong grip on my right hand pulled me back harshly. I turned around only to see a furious Xavier glaring me ferociously with a...
"GUN IN HIS HAND"
The reality hit me like a lightning bolt.
'So Xavier is really a mafia'
"WHAT DID YOU DO?", I yelled angrily and freed myself from his death hold. I took few steps back as I glared him with red teary-eyes. Xavier cocked his left brow, his face was darkened with rage.
"What.did.I.do?" he growled menacingly. He walked closer to me with threatening steps, his eyes never leaving mine.
"What.were.you.trying.to.do.babe?"
He snarled with gritted teeth. My heart shattered into pieces. So all this was a lie. He kept me in dark for years. The castle of our love was built on a dark lie. I loved him, I trusted him and this is what I got in return.
Lies.
Betrayal.
Anger rushed inside my veins. All of a sudden my fear got replaced with anger.
"SO YOU ARE A MAFIA. YOU LIAR, YOU CHEAT. HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME? TELL ME", I screamed on top of my lungs while glaring him.
"SHUT UP!!"
Xavier yelled in a thunderous growl making me froze in terror. I stared him in fear as he lifted his hand and started stroking my left cheek with the gun.
"Babe, I love you very much and I am well aware that you don't like criminals so how could I risk our relationship by telling you the damn TRUTH? But this BASTARD ruined everything... Don't worry we will get married no matter what happen... And I will make SURE OF THAT", he spoke darkly while kicking Nick's dead body.
"NO, DON'T", I pushed him back with all my strength making him stumble backwards. I then bend down and held Nick in my arms tightly. I looked at Xavier and then grabbing all my courage I spat.
"Never in my life I will marry a murderer, criminal, mafia like you. Never in a million years...YOU FILTHY LOATHSOME EVIL MANIAC... STAY AWAY FROM ME..I HATE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART...GET OUT", I yelled with tears streaming down my eyes like a waterfall but I immediately regretted saying. Xavier looked up at me. My eyes widened as I saw his blood-red eyes. The temperature of the room dropped and the air around us turned suffocating. His aura turned dour and deadly. I started shaking in fear while just looking at him. His eyes were blood-red, jaw clenched and fists curled up in a ball. His face became dark and he clutched the gun so tightly that blood started dripping from his hand. I was horror-struck.
He then marched towards me with predatory steps and gripped my forearm tightly tearing me away from Nick with one hand. With his other hand, he shot all the bullets in Nick's chest making me scream loudly. Xavier then glared me infuriatedly and said in a raucous voice which sends chills down my spine.
"If you don't want this to happen to your parents.DO AS I SAY, UNDERSTAND?"
I looked at him in shock. He then threw the gun away and slammed me on the wall harshly. Xavier then tilted his head like a psycho. I started trembling in his hold.
"Don't.you.dare.touch.anyone.else.than.me. GOT IT??...And Yes Babe...You are coming downstairs now...We are going to get married RIGHT HERE... RIGHT NOW", he spoke in a spooky tone while holding me in a death grip. I continued staring him. My face was damped with tears. He then wiped off my tears with his thumb and started caressing my cheeks.
"Don't cry. If I see a single drop of tear leaving your eye. Your parents will take their last breathe.. Don't dare to mess anything up or else say ta-ta to Momma and Papa", he spoke while chuckling sinisterly. Xavier then left my shoulders and called his guards.
"Clean this mess and you all", he said while pointing towards the stylists "Change her gown and fix her makeup", Xavier then looked at me and spoke in a dark sinister tone while smirking menacingly "NOW"
He then left the room while slamming the door shut. I dropped on the ground and started crying my heart out. All the girls rushed towards me and tried to console me. They felt pity but no one had the courage to go against him.
"Why Xavier?"
End of Rosaline's P.O.V.
~At the wedding
The mansion was decorated beautifully. Xavier himself had managed all the decorations of the wedding. The hall was festooned with white lilies and pink roses as they were Rosaline's favorite. She had an immense love for flowers so he made special arrangements to decorate the entire mansion with flowers only for his love. The dazzling glittering flamboyant chandelier was the cornerstone of the ceremony. Everything was decked up so majestically and was looking very ostentatious.
It was just the epitome of heaven.
Xavier was wearing an elegant black Armani suit and was looking very handsome. He was talking casually with his friends but his eyes were fixed on the top of the stairs eagerly waiting for the love of his life.
All of a sudden the hall became silent. Xavier's eyes sparkled with love and joy.
"Rose", he whispered.
There he saw his gorgeous angel descending the stairs slowly looking stunning in her wedding gown. Her beauty was breathtaking which left him spellbound. She was looking down nervously. Xavier then went towards her and extended his hand for her. But Rosaline didn't take it. Everyone became puzzled. Xavier slowly held her hand and tightened his grip. A gasp left her mouth but still she didn't looked up at him. He then pulled her towards himself gently.
"Princess, you look incredibly fabulous", he whispered in her ear while placing a strand of hair behind her ear softly. Rosaline shuddered by his touch which didn't went unnoticed by him. Xavier's eyes softened and he held her hands softly.
"Don't get scared of me Princess. I would never hurt you. Please believe me", he said in a sweet voice while lifting his chin up. Rosaline then looked at him with teary eyes. But soon her teary gaze turned into an angry glare him which surely triggered the Mafioso. Xavier gripped her chin firmly and spoke in a stern voice.
"Don't you dare throw any tantrum here or try to mess anything, Sweety", he then leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "Or be ready to get drenched in your parent's blood". Hearing that, Rosaline's eyes immediately shot up. She looked at him fearfully.
"Please ...Don't d-", she was about to broke down but Xavier immediately shushed her by placing his index finger over her cherry lips.
"No Sweetheart, it's totally up to you. If you play along with me you'll see your parent's happy faces but if you dared to play with me then you'll see your parents' dead faces", he growled in her ear leaving her in despair.
Xavier then wiped off her tears gently. Rosaline kept staring him with a broken heart. Her dad then walked towards them. Xavier smiled at him. He then shifted his gaze towards Rosaline and glared her. She smiled back at her dad. Her dad smiled and patted her head softly. He then held Rosaline's hand and walked with her to the aisle.
Rosaline's P.O.V.
I didn't know what to do now. I can't say nor do anything. Neither I can't accept nor flee away. I had never even dreamed that the love of my life, who was my everything will do this to me.
I kept my eyes down as I didn't want to see this hideous monster anymore. I hate him with my whole heart now. He ruthlessly killed my best friend and even blackmailed me for his madness. He is a complete psycho. I never knew that the Xavier I know is this heartless!!
I was literally dying inside and screaming in my head for my Dad to save me from this beast. But I was very scared of him. Xavier for sure had left me petrified from his monstrous act upstairs. I won't be able to save myself from this demon now but at least I can save my parents from him.
We slowly reached towards the priest and soon the 'I do' ceremony began. Then we exchanged the rings.
Everyone then started cheering for us. I looked towards my parents only to see their sparkling eyes glistening with joy. Xavier then held my cheek softly and pulled me into a passionate kiss. I didn't respond and he didn't even care. He then pulled off and stared in my eyes lovingly. I immediately broke the eye contact. He then grabbed my waist and pulled me towards himself.
"Now you're mine, Rose"
~~~❤~~~
Chapter 2: Escape?
Rosaline's P.O.V.
Xavier and I cut the wedding cake and damn that was so extravagant. We fed each other and everyone clapped for us. Suddenly a guard came and whispered something in his ear. He glared him and immediately walked away leaving me alone.
Finally!!!
I did a little victory dance in my mind as finally I got freedom. I instantly held my Mom's hand tightly and dragged her to a corner.
"What's wron-", I didn't let her complete. "Mom, I am in danger, please help me", I said quickly holding my tears. She looked at me puzzled. "Why? What happened?", she asked holding my shoulders tightly. I looked at her and tried to tell her the truth.
"Mom, Xavier is a ma-"
"What happened Babe?" Suddenly a deep voice startled me.
'Oh God no!'
I stayed rooted on my spot not daring to turn back. Xavier then back hugged me and placed his chin on my left shoulder. "What happened Mom?", he asked my mother in a raspy voice sending chills down my spine.
"Xavier, Rosa was say-", I instantly cut my mother in midway and turned around facing him.
"I was just nervous. You know I have to leave my parents now", I replied while sobbing a bit. Xavier looked at me. He smiled and cupped my face wiping off my tears.
"So what? You have me and it's not like...You are leaving them forever", he rasped, an evil smirk got plastered on his face. My eyes widened and more tears started flowing down like a river. Mom then removed his hands from my face and hugged me tightly. He glared at her making my heart skip a beat.
"Sweety, Xavier is right and besides he will love you more than us", she cooed in my ears.
"No Mom, no one can love me more than you and Dad, literally no one", I sobbed while holding her tightly as I didn't wanted to leave my Mom. I found myself safe and secure in her warm embrace. I didn't want to go to that monster anymore. I always longed for this day and wanted it to become the most memorable day of my life but fate turned it to the most dreadful day of my life. Xavier then caressed my hair. I flinched by his touch and tightened my hold around her shoulders.
"Sweetheart let's go now. The guests must be waiting", he said while patting my head softly. Mom broke the hug and wiped my tears. Xavier grabbed her waist and they both left.
End of Rosaline's P.O.V.
Rosaline kept crying silently. Her Mom found it a bit fishy as she was literally crying her heart out. She tried to think that maybe it's all the anxiety and wedding stresses but one thing didn't went unnoticed by her.
The pain in her daughter's eyes...
Mrs. Brown's P.O.V.
When Rosaline brought me here and said in a panicked voice that she is not safe, I became worried. I could see her glossy eyes trying to tell me that something is not right. But all of a sudden Xavier appeared out of nowhere making her blanched. When he asked her the reason she quickly said that she will miss us. I became emotional as she was our only child and today she had to leave us.
I clasped her in my arms. She hugged me tightly and started sobbing badly. But when Xavier separated us I found pain in her eyes. Something was bothering her.
Something was telling me that she is in danger...
End of Mrs. Brown's P.O.V.
*****
Everyone was settled all around the dining table and were enjoying the wide varieties of delectable comestibles. Rosaline was staring at the food hopelessly. Xavier kept stealing small glances at her time to time but her head was hung low and she was eating her food wistfully. He looked at her upset face but didn't say anything.
~Time skip
"Now it's time for the married couple to do a romantic dance on stage", James, one of Xavier's close friend, announced while beaming at the married couple. Xavier smiled. He held Rosaline's hand and took her to the dance floor. He held her waist, intertwined their fingers and started moving his body in rhythm to the music. Rosaline kept looking down and matched his steps slowly. She was staring in space and anyone can tell from her gloomy face that she wasn't happy at all.
Soon Xavier's patience started running off. He was losing his temper. He had enough of her unresponsiveness. He couldn't tolerate the silent treatment she was giving him anymore. All of a sudden he grabbed her cheeks with his right hand making her look in his raging eyes.
"I have enough of your nonsense, Rose. Behave properly or-", he growled ferociously but Rosaline immediately cut him off in midway.
"Or what? Hmm, Xavier Knights? Or what? You had enough of my nonsense. Well I should be the one lashing at you not the other way around", she spat while shooting daggers at him. His hold tightened on her but she didn't back down either.
"You made my life a living hell and now you have the audacity to yell at me. Listen Mr. Mafia, by power, force and by using your dirty sinful tactics you will be able to have my body but you will never be able to have my soul and heart", she gritted out with clenched jaw. Xavier kept glaring at me fiercely but she continued.
"I.will.never.love.you. You're a murderer, a criminal, a psychopath. You don't have a heart, you ruthless devil. And I will always hate you-"
But before she could complete her sentence, Xavier cupped her face harshly and started kissing her forcefully. She kept struggling in his hold but he grabbed her waist tightly with his other hand and pulled her closer towards himself. He continued kissing her aggressively, pouring all his anger in that wild kiss while Rosaline kept sobbing trying hard to free from his death grip. He then broke the kiss abruptly and looked at her with his murderous eyes.
"If you know me this damn much then you should also remember to behave properly and don't dare to talk shit about me. My love, now that you are well aware of my identity so let me remind you how dangerous I am", he snarled.
"You don't need to remind me. I had already seen your hideous act, Monster", she said while glaring him with teary-eyes.
"Ah!! That was just a trailer Babe. I can be more monstrous than that. Now LISTEN. Try to act as a lovey-dovey couple as we are and put a fucking smile on your pretty face... Don't you dare disobey me otherwise I won't hesitate to shower you with your parents' blood. Understood??", he said with gritted teeth making her gasp in horror. Rosaline nodded fearfully.
"Words", he growled.
"Ye-yes", she whimpered.
"Smile", he again spoke in a deadly tone. She smiled a little. He then wiped off her tears and placed a soft kiss on her bruised lips.
"Now that's my girl", he said happily and again started kissing her. Her heart was bleeding in pain but he just cared for his happiness.
"Kiss me back Babe", Xavier spoke in between the kiss. Rosaline responded slowly making him lose his mind. He started devouring her mouth like a hungry wolf. Soon the sound of claps and whistles started echoing in the hall.
Rosaline started becoming out of breathe and pushed back his shoulders. Xavier then pulled back and rested his forehead on hers, both of them painting heavily. Rosaline kept staring at the floor trying hard not to cry. Xavier again leaned forward and tried to kiss her but a voice halted him.
"Dude you have her now. At least for now spend some time with us", Noah, Xavier's best friend spoke in a mocking tone. Rosaline looked down, her cheeks turned red due to Xavier's hungry kiss and his friends frivolous remarks.
"Urgg!! Okay", Xavier replied irritatingly. He then pecked her forehead and held her hand as they both headed towards the living room.
~Time skip
"Okay, so we both should leave now", Rosaline's Dad said while patting her head gently. "Yeah. Driver!!", Xavier shouted. Rosaline started panicking. Just the thought of being alone with him scared her to death.
"Please don't go", she said in a broken voice not wanting her parents to leave her with this devil alone.
"Princess, what are you saying? We have to go now", her Dad spoke completely baffled by her words. Rosaline shooked her head in 'No' and cried while clasping his hand tightly. Her parents started getting worried as they both saw her sobbing like a child.
"Sweety, is everything okay?", her mother inquired as she looked at Xavier with dubious eyes.
Xavier's jaw ticked as he couldn't tolerate this drama anymore. He grabbed Rosaline's left hand and pulled her towards himself. He wiped her tears with his thumb and cupped her cheeks. He squeezed them a bit as in a warning manner and glared her.
"Babe I will take care of you. Mamma and Papa must be tired now, let them rest or...shall I make them rest forever?", he whispered the last sentence in a creepy tone making her shiver in fear. Rosaline pleaded him with teary-eyes. Xavier chuckled and pecked her lips. He then buried her face in his chest.
"Dad, Mom you should go now. It's getting late and also you don't have to worry about Rose since you both know how much I love her", he chuckled while hugging her tightly.
"Yes of course son. We are blessed to have you as our son-in-law. We shall leave now", Mr. Brown said and patted his shoulder. Xavier nodded and flashed them a small smile. They both then left while Rosaline kept sobbing in his embrace. Xavier then broke the hug and carried her in bridal style to the bedroom.
Rosaline stared him sadly. She felt so defeated, hopeless, sad and angry. Her mind became blank. She couldn't contemplate anything now. She never knew the Xavier whose one smile, one glance used to make her day, now his presence was only enough to make her tremble in fear. But she was too exhausted. Her head was aching like hell. She rested her head on his chest and fell asleep.
*****
Xavier's P.O.V.
We reached our bedroom. I looked at Rose and saw that she was in a deep sleep. I smiled and placed her on the bed gently. I looked at her. Soft pink lips, long nose, sharp jawline, fair milky skin and delicate body. She was looking absolutely gorgeous.
I removed her necklace, tiara and other ornaments softly. Then I removed her sandals and covered her with the duvet. I pecked her lips softly and then headed to the washroom to change my clothes.
I changed into a simple white tee and black shorts. I laid beside my sweetheart placing her head in my chest and wrapped her fragile body in my arms tightly. Soon I drifted into dreamland.
End of Xavier's P.O.V.
~Time skip
At 2:00 a.m.
Rosaline's P.O.V.
I opened my eyes slowly. Xavier was lying next to me. His hands were on my waist holding me tightly. I tried shaking him up a little to check whether he was asleep or not. He didn't woke up which means he was in deep sleep.
Thank God!!!
I slowly removed his hand and got up. I put a pillow under his hand so that he wouldn't have any suspicion.
My phone?
I immediately ran away from his room to the room where he killed Nick because there only I had used my phone lastly. I need to call my Mom and Dad now to help me escape this hell.
I got inside the room and started searching. I checked all the drawers and cupboards hastily but I couldn't find it anywhere.
"Where the hell it is?" I stood there recalling where I kept it the last time but all of a sudden a hand came in front of me from back holding my phone. My eyes sparkled in joy.
"Thank God I fou-" I froze. My breath hitched as soon as I saw....
'His bracelet'
Xavier?
I started trembling in fear and shock. Xavier leaned forward; his hot breath fanned my ear as he spoke in a husky voice.
"Looking for this, love?"
~~~❤~~~
(Warning: 18+)
Rosaline's P.O.V.
"Looking for this, love?", Xavier said, his voice was strangely calm. I gulped in fear.
'No Rosaline stay strong', my conscience encouraged me.
I inhaled a sharp breath and turned around. I looked in his eyes and spoke sternly, "How did you have my phone?" Xavier raised an eyebrow and stared me back intensely. I won't get scared of him no matter what. I can't spend the rest of my life with a murderer.
He opened his mouth to say something but I immediately snatched my phone from his hand and practically ran out of the room.
I went back to our shared bedroom. Xavier just followed me behind quietly. I headed to the closet and took out my night gown. I went inside the washroom while clutching my phone tightly in my hand.Xavier was just watching me silently the whole time with his hawk-like eyes. I frowned.
'Why is he so calm?'
I shrugged it off as I literally don't have time to decipher his quirky behavior. I immediately shut the door and locked it. I immediately dialed my Dad's no.
~OTP
*Ring Ring*
"Dad pick up please", I bit my lower lip as I was a nervous wreck at that moment. After a few rings the call ended. I huffed in anger.
"He must be sleeping idiot. Who would be awake at this hour of night? I should call Mark", I quickly called him.
Mark was my friend and Nick's partner. He also worked in the Intelligence Agency.
~OTP
"Hello"
"Mark, it's me Rosa"
"Oh my God Rosa! How are you and where are y-" Mark spoke in a worried tone but I immediately cut him off.
"Mark, please help me. Xavier killed Nick. He forcefully married me while threatening to harm my parents. I am very scared, please..." I couldn't control it anymore and broke down in tears. I clasped my mouth with my palm tightly so that Xavier can't hear.
"He-hey don't cry, Rosa. Listen to me now. I have a plan. Tomorrow you will take Xavier along with you to Starbucks. Me and my entire team will be there. Just make an excuse somehow and get away from his eagle eyes for a few minutes. I will immediately take you away from there and then escort you to the airport safely. Then you'll board a flight for Paris and immediately leave America. Got it?", he explained me his whole plan.
"Alright but what about Xavier?", I asked him in a shaking voice. "Don't worry about him. Just do as I say", he assured me.
"Okay, bye Mark I should hang up now"
"Bye Cutie. Take Care", he spoke softly. I ended the call.
I sighed in relief. Finally I will be able to leave this hell. A small smile formed on my lips. I wiped my tears and turned around.
I froze on my spot. The phone fell from my hand and hit the shining white tiles with a loud thud. I started sweating badly and my body started shaking in fear.
There stood the Devil in front of me whom I despise the most right now.
Xavier was leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed on his chest as he stared me with his intimidating eyes. My throat turned parched. I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out.
"Done changing love?", he rasped. I looked at him in shock and confusion.
"WHAT THE- HOW DID YOU GOT INSIDE?", I yelled fiercely.
Xavier didn't reply me. His gaze eventually dropped to the floor as he looked at my phone with scrutinizing eyes. He then looked at me back and started approaching me. I panicked. I looked everywhere and found a glass bottle of shower gel. I smashed it with full force on the bath tub. It shattered into pieces. I bend down and immediately grabbed a piece of glass.
"DON'T COME NEAR ME", I screamed while pointing the glass at him. My heart started beating at an irregular rate. Xavier stopped dead in his tracks.
But everything happened in a blink of an eye.
I screamed as a bullet got fired next to the wall beside my head. I covered my ears instantly in fear making the glass fell on the floor. I lifted my head up but a painful scream escaped my mouth as I was instantly slammed onto the wall harshly. I hissed in pain and opened my eyes only to confront a raging Xavier glaring me ferociously. I started trembling in his hold. His grip on my hands was so tight that it started hurting.
"Xavier stop it hurts", I cried while wiggling in his hold.
"SHUT UP!!" he said in a thunderous growl making my heart stop. My eyes turned watery and tears started rolling down my cheeks.
"WHO WERE YOU TALKING TO?", Xavier sneered at my face, his hot breathe fanning my lips. As soon as I heard his words, all the fear which had grasped me earlier faded away and got replaced with anger.
He was the one who lied to me in the first place, broke my trust, hided his mafia identity and even killed my best friend right in front of my eyes ruthlessly. Then married me against my wish by blackmailing me in the name of my parents. But instead of apologizing to me for his evil deeds he got the guts to spy on me and yell at me now??
I am not a scaredy little cat who would fear this monster. I won't act like a stupid little girl whom he can scare whenever he want to. I glared him and grabbing all my courage, I spat. "DON'T YELL AT ME. I WASN'T TALKING TO ANYBODY"
"DON'T LIE ROSE!!", he growled and tightened his grip on my wrists. I started struggling in his hold to free myself.
"DON'T SHOUT PSYCHOPATH!!", I screamed on his face. Suddenly my face got turned to the other side.
He-he slapped me???
My cheeks started stinging from pain. I turned my face and looked at Xavier in shock. His chest was heaving up and down and his breathe turned heavy. His gaze immediately turned soft as soon as he saw my glistening eyes. He loosened his grip a little and asked in a calm deadly tone. "Answer my question. Who were you talking to?" I didn't replied and kept staring him with teary eyes.
It was the first time when Xavier had raised his hands on me. He always used to pamper me and treated me like his princess. He never raised his voice at me nor ever got angry on me. He loved me too much but today his actions proved that all his love and care was a mere veneer, a fucking charade.
Xavier tried to hold my cheeks but I yanked his hands and ran away from there. He chased me back. I was about to exit the room when he caught me. I started struggling. He turned me around, my whole body swiveled in air as he pinned me on the wall.
"NO LET GO!!', I started crying as I was too scared of him.
"ANSWER MY QUESTION FIRST", he snarled with clenched jaw.
"NO I WON'T", I screamed with tears running down my eyes. Xavier tightened his grip on my wrists making me whimper in pain.
"LEAVE ME YOU BASTARD", I shrieked as I couldn't bear the pain anymore. Xavier again slapped me harshly but this time it was more painful than before. I held my cheeks with my hands and started crying badly. He gripped my neck and brought me closer to his face, our noses brushed against each other.
"Don't you dare curse at me. Don't you dare disrespect me. Answer my question NOW!!", he growled fiercely. But I didn't backed away even. I spit on his face. He closed his eyes in frustration. I took the opportunity and kneed him harshly in his balls. He groaned in pain and stumbled backwards. I pushed him with full force and ran away.
I went inside a random room and shut the door. I was about to lock it when it got pushed wide open. Xavier barged inside the room making me fall on my butt. He closed the door and locked it. I panicked. I rushed to the bathroom as it was the only safe spot but he immediately caught me from my waist and threw me on the bed.
I landed on the bed with my face. I turned back and tried to run but he again pushed me and hovered over me. I started struggling but he grabbed my wrists with one hand and my face with his other hand firmly. Tears kept rolling down but it didn't affected him at all.
"You don't understand simple language, don't you?", he gritted.
"NO LEA-" Suddenly he kissed me forcefully and put his entire weight on me so that I can't hit him again.
Damn he is so heavy.
He continued assaulting my lips brutally and I kept sobbing. He then pulled off and glared at me while we both were catching breaths. "*panting* Speak Up. Who were you talk-"
He couldn't complete his sentence as I spit back on his face again. He closed his eyes in anger. I again try to kick him but he slapped me hardly. My face got turned to the side. My lips started bleeding. My hair got spattered all over my face. He then removed the hair sprawled all over my face. He gripped my wrist with one hand and held my chin tightly with his other hand making me face him. I stared at him back while crying hysterically.
"YOU HAVE CROSSED THE LIMIT NOW. I AM ASKING YOU ONE LAST TIME, WITH WHOM YOU WERE TALKING TO??", he blared. I shook my head in denial and kept struggling.
I will die but not let him break me. I was well aware that if I tell him the truth, he would definitely kill Mark. I had already lost my best friend now I am not ready to lose another. I would defend them even if I have to lose my life today. Xavier glared at me and increased his steel like hold on my wrists. It was paining like hell. I closed my eyes bearing the pain with tears streaming down my face.
All of a sudden Xavier removed his hand from my wrists and cupped my face. I opened my eyes. He was staring at me sadly and said in a soft but firm tone, "You love him that much?" I became confused by his reply.
He sadly chuckled and wiped my tears with his thumb. He then pecked my lips softly.
"You think I didn't heard your conversation with.....Mark?"
My eyes widened in shock. He smirked evilly.
"How did you-", I couldn't believe it. Xavier scoffed and started caressing my cheeks with his thumb.
"Sweetheart this is my house. I had already heard your entire conversation with your beloved friend but I kept quiet just to check your loyalty towards me", he said while flashing me a cocky smirk.
THE GUTS OF THIS ASSHOLE!!!
I glared him and yelled furiously. "THEN WHY DID YOU SLAP ME? YOU BLOODY ASSHO-"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!", he punched the bed beside my head in anger.
"NO.NEVER. YOU MONSTER, I HATE Y-", I couldn't complete the sentence as in an instant he ripped my gown aggressively. I shrieked in horror. I try to cover myself with my hands but he slapped me and continued ripping my dress off. I started crying in horror. He then held my wrists and tied them to the headboard with the shreds of my dress. I struggled but he suddenly bit my neck and started sucking it harshly.
"NO, NO XAVIER, STOP PLEASE!!", I continued screaming and begging him but he didn't stopped. He continued sucking and licking my neck.
"YOU ARE MINE. ONLY MINE", he spoke in his husky voice.
I became horrified due to his cannibalistic behavior. I started feeling dizzy due to panic, my throat became parched. Soon the fear consumed me and I drifted into darkness.
End of Rosaline's P.O.V.
Xavier's P.O.V.
I knew Rose was planning something that's why I entered the bathroom quietly. I have access to every corner of my house as the lock is just my presence. I heard her entire conversation with Mark making me boil in anger.
'How much she is eager to leave me.'
I lost my temper when Rose pointed a glass at me. I immediately fired a bullet near her head on the wall. She continued fighting me back which I didn't minded as I was solely responsible for it. She kept cursing at me which nobody had ever done before. But the thing that hurt me the most was that she was doing all this just to protect that scumbag from me. I can't stand this anymore.
She needs to see me only, care for me only, look at me only and breathe for me only....
I kept asking her but she kept denying and fighting back. But when she said that she hates me, she woke up the Beast in me. I can't bear her hate. I never wanted to do this to her but she needs to learn a lesson.
I ripped her wedding gown and started kissing her harshly. She kept on struggling but I held her firmly and continued assaulting her. I was not in my senses anymore. I can't bear her talking or watching other men apart from me. Just that thought made me mad. She is mine and only mine.
Soon Rose stopped struggling and became still. I got puzzled and looked up. She had fainted. I came back in my senses. I immediately untied her wrists and got up from her.
"Hey, Baby?", I patted her cheeks gently but she didn't responded which made me worried. I made her wear my shirt and carried her in bridal style to my room. I gently placed her on the bed and covered her body with the duvet. I looked at her.
Her face was damped with dried tears, her nose had turned crimson-red, her soft wrists were bruised up badly, her delicate lips were bleeding and her pink cheeks were stained with red fingerprint marks. Looking at her petite figure laying helplessly on the bed brought tears in my eyes. I never wanted to do this to her but her concern for other people apart from me blew my mind with anger and jealousy.
But it wasn't her fault even. I lied to her. I kept her in dark. But I knew that she will hate me as soon as I will reveal my true identity.
End of Xavier's P.O.V.
Xavier slowly caressed her cheek with his hands and spoke in a broken voice, "I am so sorry love. I never wanted to hurt you. I love you very much. I will never hurt you ever, I promise." He leaned forward and pecked her lips softly.
But all of a sudden his gaze turned dark. He stared at Rosaline like a psycho and spoke in a dark creepy tone.
"And I will make sure no one will come between us.
Not.Now.Not.Ever..."
