"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
"I will be back before you know it," Vincenzo whispered, gently placing his warm palm on my cheek, caressing it and keeping his hand there as if he wanted to remember the touch for long.
'Just leave, and let me enjoy my freedom,' I desperately thought to myself.
And in a flash of a moment, he disappeared without saying 'goodbye'
"Vincenzo" I sat up on the bed to find that it was just a dream.
My heart raced in my chest, my breaths heavy with the lingering emotions from the dream.
Suddenly my hand reached out to my cheek which Vincenzo touched in the dream. It felt like someone had actually grazed it with the knuckles. It felt oddly real.
I looked around to find that there was no one.
I am sure it must be my illusion as it is the same cheek that Vincenzo touched before leaving and I am getting the same feeling every night.
