"St... Stay away" Her voice trembled in fear as he leaned closer, invading her personal space. His palms were pressed against the wall, caging her in his embrace while her tiny fists were making futile attempts to push him back. "So, you want me to go out to satisfy my needs when I have a beautiful wife at home?" His thumb stroked her lips, his eyes fixated on them, unyielding and hungry. "But you made it clear that your heart belongs to someone else and our marriage is nothing but an agreement" her heart throbbed with pain as she thought about it. After the horrific and pitiful past, all she yearned was for a man who could understand and love her but destiny has bestowed her a devil for a husband. "That's true" he cocked his head "But we don't love every chic we fuck. Do we?" His callous words shattered Roseline's world. All she wanted was to cry on her fate!

Roseline's POV
When I thought that he was going to leave us, he sighed and grabbed his seat again taking me by surprise.
A sudden rush of warmth filled my heart. It is for the very first time that he has listened to me.
There is definitely something big in between these people which I fail to see.
Even Grandpa, seemed hesitant to intervene. While I had no desire to pry into their personal affairs, the sight of Vincenzo's mother, wearing a smile that barely masked her sadness and helplessness, tugged at my heart.
Though I had never experienced the joy of being a parent, as an orphan, I understood the pain of being separated from one's family. I could only imagine the deep hurt Vincenzo's mother must be feeling, because of her son's distant and cold behavior. She tries to hide it with a wide, warm smile on her lips.
As the room grew heavy with unspoken tension, Kevin cleared his throat with a mischievous grin on his lips.
