Kingsley, Fiona and Emerson were in an embrace. Their guards were at the door, looking in with sweet smiles on their faces. They all loved working for the Aguilar family, for the Cox family, for Dia Lucrii. They were mafia, they committed crimes, no doubt about that, but everyone was treated with respect and love. And they never hurt any innocent people.Everyone’s concentration was broken by the sudden ringing of the phone.“Ohh, busy man!” teased Fiona, and they broke the embrace. Emerson fished his phone out of his pocket and gulped for a second. The phone call he had been dreading came. Lang was calling him. He knew why he was calling him. He glanced at Kingsley; he knew he was going to be so angry. But why? Why was a girl who was a stranger making them care for her? Why do Emerson and Kingsley both want to kill Piers for touching her?“What?” asked Kingsley. “What are you looking at me like that?”“It’s Lang!” said Emerson. And Kingsley understood everything. The happy environmen
Emerson walked out of the room and closed his eyes. He had to call his people to look for a man called Piers Austin in the ER. He could not understand why Kingsley was so worried and agitated after hearing about Rose and her attack. He could not understand why he, too, was feeling the same. When he heard that the girl who saved his boss, his best friend, was attacked, his heart jumped out of his chest. He grabbed his chest and caressed it to ease the pain.“Why is he feeling like this? He has never acted this way for any other woman. He has always waited for the confirmation before jumping into action. But for this woman, he is ready to burn the world down. He didn’t even see her clearly. He was bleeding; he fainted; he didn’t even know her name. So why is he so concerned for her? Why is he so angry?“And what the hell is wrong with me? Why is my heart aching if she has a boyfriend, no, no, a fiancé? Why am I feeling sad? So what she got hurt? I don’t know her. Yes, she saved, she pro
Severina had no answer for Kingsley. Even Emerson was looking at both of them with confused eyes. That girl saw everything, experienced everything, she saw Kingsley dying, she held him in her arms, she saw the blood flowing, she heard the gunshots, she saw two dead bodies, yet she denied seeing anything.“I… I really don’t know,” said Severina.“What about the hospital?” asked Emerson.“Hospital? What about it?” asked Severina.“We brought her here. That’s why her friends must have reported her missing. What did she say, where was she, and why?” asked Emerson.“Oh! According to my men, she said that she was not feeling well in the morning. She said something about a panic attack,” said Severina.“Panic attack?” asked Kingsley, worried.“I don’t know anything about that. No one knows. You know medical history is classified. No one will tell you anything about anyone’s medical history. Whether she was telling the truth or lying to my men about that, I have no idea,” said Severina.“But y
Kingsley sighed loudly and moved his head softly to adjust it on the pillow. He kept his eyes closed and avoided looking at Emerson as he knew that Emerson was going to tease him again.“At least look at her man!” sniggered Emerson.Kingsley opened his eyes in a swift motion and stared at Emerson. “I knew it! I knew it! You cannot keep your mouth shut, can you?” growled Kingsley. He was angry, but that made Emerson laugh.“You don’t look at beautiful women. How are you going to fall in love? How are you going to get married?” teased Emerson. “Do you want to remain a virgin all your life?”“Shut up!!!” shouted Kingsley. “I have carefully curated this persona that I am a playboy and ruthless in bed. Don’t damage my name!! You idiot!!”“Oh, sorry! Right, the playboy!” laughed Emerson.Kingsley let out a cold sigh. “Anyway, I am already in love, and no one can take her place.”“What if your Rose is ugly or overweight or a fool? What will you do then? Your wife must know the ins and outs of
Emerson sighed after hearing Kingsley’s words. He knew that he was not only finding Rose for himself but also for his whole family. Everyone had waited for centuries to find that girl. Not only to give her the life she deserved, but also to keep her safe. A danger was looming over her head. An old enemy was hiding in the shadows to get to her. And he was not going to stop.“I wish that you find your Rose, King! I really wish!” said Emerson.“Yeah, let’s hope this time we get the good news!” Kingsley sighed too. He finally closed his eyes and decided to rest for a few hours. The whole hospital was crawling with Dia Lucrii. He knew he would be safe, but his dream of sleeping was crushed by the arrival of his doctor, Ernesta Cannon.“Mr Aguilar! Heard you regained consciousness and then went for a walk. Is that right?” said Ernesta and walked near Kingsley as if she was simply gliding on the floor. The ugly brown scrubs could not diminish her beauty. Her shoulder-length burgundy hair was
Kingsley first gritted his teeth in anger. He didn’t like Emerson noticing every tiny thing about him. But that was obvious. They had been friends since they were teenagers and were trained together to lead Dia Lucrii. One became the boss, and the other became his right hand. They were like two peas in a pod. They were best friends, best fighters, best marksmen and did everything together.He also hated the fact that a girl was affecting him to this extent. All his life, his heart had been searching for Rose; his heart belonged to Rose. And he hated the fact that some unknown girl was making him jealous and angry. Only his Rose could do that to him. No one else could.He sighed loudly and, without looking at Emerson, replied, “I don’t know. Trust me, I, too, hate the fact that I got jealous. I didn’t like it when he talked about you falling for her. Even if she is not my Rose, I don’t want anyone falling for her.”“What? Why?” asked Emerson.“I don’t want an innocent girl to get roped
The moment Rose heard the signal bell of the bakery, a flicker of hope ran across her face. Did God hear her pleas? Did God send Piers to save her, protect her? And then a scary thought came to her mind. What if Piers came in, and the man standing before him would hurt him too?The man was pushing
“Good morning, Miss Woolridge! Bus today?” asked the kind-hearted bus driver with a sweet smile on his face.“Yeah, all the cars were going for maintenance,” replied Rose and climbed into the bus.“You are the only princess I know who takes the bus and runs her own business,” said the driver.“What
Rose stretched her arms and pulled her blanket closer to her neck. She shifted to her side and, while keeping her eyes closed, yawned loudly. She knew she woke up even before her alarm could go off. She was too excited to go back to sleep. All night, she kept dreaming about Piers.She had finally s
Emerson was driving the car and kept giving the reports about patients lying in his car to the doctor.“Maybe the shock was too much. Okay, I will get everything ready. When will you reach?” asked Ernesta.“Five more minutes!” said Emerson and sped up the car. “You know his blood group, right?”“I
