Chapter 12

Vincent's P.O.V

The moment that I told Rose to marry me, she looked at me as if I had grown two heads, well I don't really blame her.

Anyone at her place right now had probably slapped me already, but she didn't, which I'm really grateful for.

"What did you just say?" She questioned looking slightly pale.

Shit, I knew this was a bad idea, but that stupid Alex kept saying last night that this plan will work...

"You heard me, love, unless you have a hearing problem" I replied back cockily, feeling so terrible for talking to her like a douche bag, but I have got no choice. I got to act tough.

"But why me?? There's a lot of girls out there who would be dying to marry you.why do you want me?" She questioned once again, looking completely confused and flabbergasted.

I know there's a lot of girls but it's you, who can wrap me around that little finger of yours, without even knowing it, it's only you who can make me feel things I never experienced before. I say to myself, wishing that I could tell her how much she got control on me but sadly, I can't do that.

"Listen, I got no choice, my father wants me to settle down and get married or else, he'll strip me out of all my inheritance, and I can't really afford all of that to happen" I responded lying through my teeth. I'm surely going to hell.

As she drank my words in, she stared at me absently, probably thinking whether to trust me or not.

Mario said earlier that there would be a chance she may agree as she can't say no to anyone, especially if they are in need and like a monster I am, I'm taking advantage of her greatness. But I'm doing it for her betterment and but I promise that when the time comes, if she decides to stay in the end, I would explain everything to her but only if she gives me a chance to do so.

"Listen Venessa, you can divorce me after a year or so, and besides I'll give you anything." I told her crossing my finger under the table as I await impatiently for her answer.

I'm not sure whether I could ever give her a divorce but there's one thing for sure, I'm ready to put the world at her feet but after hearing her reply, she proved that she's not those type of girls that would take advantage of my wealth, which made me really proud of her made me adore even more.

Later on, when I asked for her final decision just to be sure, "Ummm, but we don't even know each other." She suddenly said, but little did my little rose know, I know her more than anyone else.

From her favourite food to her favourite colour, I know it, that's how obsessed I am for her.

She may not know enough about me, well except for what she hears from the others and the rumors but I'm sure that it would not take long for her to know me inside and out.

I'm really a private person, I don't want anyone to get to know about my life whether it is work life or personal. I always like to keep it private but for her, only for her, I'm willing to let her see the person that only my two best friends and my family know. That's how I'm trying to let our relationship work even though I know well enough that it takes two to make a relationship work and I'm willing to pull all the weight.
