Rosalyn's P.O.V
Asshole
That's the first thing that came to my mind.
I tried to free myself from his iron grip. But he was much more powerful than I was. And whenever I wiggled he would tighten his grip on me further more and now it was starting to hurt me. So I just stayed still.
He was feeling such intense jealousy and rage that had a shiver run down my spine.
Matt and Rosario were giving each other a death glare. But neither of them was backing down.
Even the sweet warm aura that Matt had radiated was gone like it never existed,in its place was a cold aura.
So I concluded that they are sworn enemies.
"Delarosa"
"Santiago"
They acknowledged each other so coldly that it made me shiver.
And now I decided that enough was enough and I don't want to be a pawn in their silly game.
"R-Rosario? You are h-hurting me. Please leave me"
Suddenly I felt his breath near my ears and I was overwhelmed in his limey smell.
"Of course bambino."
He said while feeling warmth and lust at the same time, a deadly combo.
Againnn what is it with Delarosa men and Italian.
Then he let me go.
"Rosalyn are you ok?"
Matt asked me.
I smiled at him assuringly but I don't know what I did because suddenly Rosario turned around and left as if the place was on fire. He looked tensed and radiated malicious aura.
"Hey, Do you know him?"
Matt asked me suspiciously.
I didn't know if I was supposed to tell him but I really didn't have a choice and Mr. Delarosa had already acknowledged me as his step daughter.
So I nodded at him.
"He is my step brother"
"Woahh I didn't knew he had a step sister?"
He looked genuinely confused.
"Neither Did I"
I sighed.
"so that means you are joining this school? that's great. Who won't want such a cute girl in their class."
He winked at me while I blushed furiously as his aura went back to warm attraction.
To which he started laughing.
"see you soon bella. Byee."
He left while waving his hands at me like a madman.
I giggled at his antics. Sighed and left the place to find Mr. Delarosa's car.
I found him leaning against his car and let me tell you. He looked like he was doing a photoshoot.
When I reached him he nodded his head at me once and opened then door for me. This time I remembered to put my seat belt on. And he drove without another word.
I don't know why but even though Mr. Delarosa's aura was the most confusing I had ever encountered, but I loved soaking up on the warm aura, that I couldn't identify, he emitted around me, and with the underlying confusion in his aura, I knew he wasn't used to feeling this.
I have never felt this aura ever, it is affection and lust at the same time, but something about this aura is so soothing, like neither too warm like rage, nor too cold like indifference, it's the perfect balance between the two and something about it is really satisfying, and I knew I had to figure out this new aura that I have encountered.
Vincenzo's P.O.V.
As I drove I had a sudden urge to talk to her and to know about her but she was looking at the window, her hands slightly trembling that told me she was nervous.
I smirked at that.
"Rosalyn?"
She looked at me curiously her eyebrows raised.
"Do you have any questions about anything? I mean don't be shy you can ask me whatever you want because I understand that this is a huge change for you. So do you have any questions?"
She looked a bit confused but quickly replied.
"Is the baby okay?"
"huh?"
For a moment I was shocked. This girl who suffered so much pain of loosing her mother than her pathetic father running away and all that had happened was because of the pathetic baby. Had she not killed her mother she would have still been living in the comforts of her place. And the first question she asked me is the well being of her step - sister?
But I quickly recovered from and shock.
"Yes she is ok and is quite healthy my staff are taking good care of her"
She nodded.
"c-can I meet her"
From the look on her face I noticed that she isn't expecting me to say yes.
"yes of course you can she is your sister after all."
She looked really happy and smiled at me widely. For a moment I was lost.
Woahh Regina mia keep smiling at me like that and I am so gone.
Wait whatt?! Did I just called my queen?! Wtf.!
I said nothing and quickly looked away. From the corner of my eyes I saw her frown.
"Mr. Delarosa? Why did you adopt me?"
This question caught me off guard.
"That Tesoro you can ask your sweet step grand father. He will tell you when the time comes."
I saw her looking frustrated.
"Mr. Delarosa, I don't know italian."
I smirked at that.
"I know that principessa"
She looked even more frustrated at that and quickly turned her head toward the window making me smile at her cutness.
As we reached the mansion I saw her eyes widening in aww and I have never in my whole goddmaned life felt so satisfied for making that mansion. It was on Carla's request that we had built it. Otherwise I was satisfied in living in a bungalow. But she had always had the urge to show off and I never minded it.
Rosalyn's P.O.V.
OH MY GOD
That's the only thing that came to mind as I stared at the mansion in aww.
It's so fucking huge.
I was so busy staring at the mansion that I didn't notice Mr. Delarosa opening the door for me waiting for me to step out until he cleared his throat.
When I looked at him he was smirking at me while feeling amused.
Asshole.
I thought to myself as I quickly made my Way out and Mr. Delarosa had his hand on the small of my back which again, just like last time tingled and vibrated, as we made our way to the giant mansion.
I noticed that there were armed guard everywhere around the territory.
He is just a businessmen and has so many armed guards.
I scoffed inwardly.
A middle aged lady opened the door for us.
"Welcome Mr. Delarosa."
She looked at me curiously and was emitting a disgusted aura.
Waittt whattt?! What did I do?
I was interrupted from my thoughts when Mr. Delarosa started introducing me to the lady.
"Rosalyn meet the head of House maids Linda David. Linda meet Rosalyn she is my step daughter."
The earlier disgust from her aura was wiped of as she started emitting motherly warmtg as she took my hands in hers and smiled at me warmly.
"Ohh of course Mr. Delarosa, It's a pleasure to meet you dear. I have been wanting to meet you from a very long time now."
Wait what? She knew about me? My mother must have been close to her.
I smiled at her warmly.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too Mrs. David." I replied after noticing her wedding ring.
"ohhh no Mrs. David makes me sound old just call me Linda"
To which I smiled politely and nodded.
"Linda, please show Rosalyn to her room. I am sure she must be tired after the long trip. Please take care of her. Rosalyn ask Linda for whatever help you."
Then he politely nodded at us and left while releasing intense longing and I think I was projecting my emotions too, because my temples tingled.
"please follow me Rosalyn."
I nodded at her and followed her as she made her way towards the staircase.
It was a very modern looking house and had a staircase made with black and white marbles.
There were at least 5 rooms that I saw on my way.
We stopped in front of dark mahogany door. She opened the door to reveal a king sized bed with an attatched bathroom that has a jacuzzi in it and also there is an attached closet that has everything that a girl could need skirts, dresses, Shirts, purses and footwear.
Ok I already love this place.
My room also had a vanity and study table and chair.
Woww everything is so absolutely perfect..
I found my bags near the vanity and decided I should take everything out and place them properly.
"Call me if you need anything Rosalyn."
Linda told me to which I nodded politely before turning towards my work on hand.
-
I didn't even realise how much time has passed as I looked at my bedside table clock that it was nearly two pm. I was thinking about lunch when a knock at the door broke me from my trance like state.
I opened my door to find Linda smiling at me kindly.
"Honey the food is ready"
She announced and I nodded at her and quickly followed her downstairs.
As I sat down on my table I was curious if my new step father and brother would join me. As if listening to my thoughts Linda told me that my dear step father had to go to office for some business work and that my step brother is at his friend's place.
So I just sat alone having my lunch it was steak and I loved it but I couldn't bring myself to swallow it as the severity of my situation hit me.
So I quickly ate as much as I could and left for my room. I was so exhausted and sad with everything that was happening so I cried myself to sleep.
Vincenzo's P.O.V.
Did she really find me so repulsive?
I noticed how she looked like she was about to throw up when I went towards her.
Do I smell bad?
I sniffed my collars.
But when I left her with Linda, it was as if my gut told me that she wanted me there.
But I think I am imagining things,
Like whenever I touched her, I felt that part of me tingle.
What the fuck?! Am I falling in love with my step daughter that I just met?!
I rolled my eyes at this.
Fuck this girl is going to be the death of me.
That was the only thing going in my head from the past one hour.
I was sitting in my office and drinking whiskey. But it wasn't helping either.
For God's sakes Vincenzo, she is your step daughter.
I groaned in frustration.
Suddenly Drevon entered my office and looked at me weirdly .
"Look I don't have a problem but can you explain me why are you drinking? I mean it's bright sunny day. Why now?"
I swear if he wasn't my best friend I would have killed him.
Drevon has been my best friend since my childhood days. I still remember the day we became friends.
I was just 12 but I was always the more powerful boy of my class. Everyone was scared from me and I liked it.
I was sitting in the cafeteria when a jock came towards me and gave me a piece of paper he looked at me as if he was scared for me.
Not scared of me, but for me.
Hmmm.. Interesting..
I roughly snatched the paper from him. It said,
If you are courageous enough meet me at the school's playground at 5pm.
David
I bowled the paper in my fist and threw it in the dustbin while getting up from my seat harshly.
That pussy had the guts to challenge me.
I looked for him everywhere but I couldn't find him so I decided I will teach him a lesson and answer his challenge.
I came to the school playground exactly at 5pm to find him trembling like a lead. So I ran towards him and started punching him with all the strength I had.
But I was roughly pulled of him and thrown on the ground.
I looked up to find his elder brother and his goons who were 15 looking at me angrily.
"u dare hurt my brother?!"
Daniel his elder brother shouted at me before he started punching me.
Huh such a pussy bringing his brother to fight me.
But I wasn't just more powerful, I was the heir to the Italian mafia and thus my father had trained me to beat up men twice my size so I started dodging there blows I broke one of the boy's nose hearing the crunch made a satisfying smirk on my face.
But suddenly I was tackled by one boy while the other started landing blows on my back. I quickly made a blow on his gut making him double over and elbowed the boy behind me probably giving him a black eye.
Then Daniel came up with a knife and tried hurting me with it but I swiftly blocked all his blows and when he went for my gut I quickly caught his hand and punched his making him loose his hold on knife and fall down. Then I sat on his chest and started punching him like a mad man.
And that was a mistake.
Next thing I heard was loud sound of someone getting hit by a very hard object. When I looked back I found David lying on the ground with the knife in his hand and a jock had a baseball bat in his hand. He was the same boy who had given me the message earlier in morning.
I raised myself up from the unconscious body of Daniel and made my way towards David.
"He is alive"
I told him so that he could calm down because he looked deathly pale.
He nodded at me once and then looked at me.
"Why did you help me?"
I asked him because I was genuinely confused. I have never talked to him, probably must have bullied him and he came out of the way to help me.
He shrugged at me.
"I saw what was written in the paper and earlier had heard David talk to his brother. I didn't like the fact that you will be outnumbered and thought you would need help and mommy always tells me to help people."
"Do you want to be my friend?"
I asked him.
He looked shocked but quickly recovered and smiled at me widely.
"Of course my name is Drevon and you are Vincenzo "
He grinned.
I just rolled my eyes and told him to follow me.
And since that day we have been inseperable.
But sometimes I just wanted to punch him in the face.
"so tell me about your step daughter, is she cute? Do you think she will marry me?"
Like right now.
I just groaned in frustration and put my head on my desk.
"Stop it already"
"Awww come on man tell me about her... I mean since I am going to be unmarried now that I am going to divorce that bitch I can marry her right? You will say yes to our marriage? You will bless us won't you while we will be kissing each other?"
And that was my undoing.
I quickly stood up and threw my glass of whiskey at him.
Although I knew he was joking but thinking about him kissing her made my skin crawl in disgust.
But he quickly dodged it and smoothed his suit and glared at me.
" Hey! What the fuck man? Do you have a stick up your ass or something?!"
I huffed at him and sat on my chair.
He looked at me softly and came beside me.
"Hey don't worry. You will be ok
From what you told me about her she will not be a problem for you. Si?"
I nodded at him.
"I will ask my daughter to visit her tomorrow maybe they can have some good time together"
I nodded at that.
He stood up.
"ok bro I have to leave I have a meeting in 30 minutes but I knew you would be like this so I came to meet you."
Then he started leaving but not before saying,
"And don't worry she is all yours to kiss I will walk her down the aisle if you want"
He shouted at me.
And I banged my head against the mahogany table because I actually liked the sound of it.
