"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
Today, classes ended early, allowing me to head home ahead of schedule.
With the upcoming sports week next week, Kevin decided to stay back to practice soccer, his chosen sport. He was also asking me to stay back and practice for badminton but I came back because today is Vincenzo's birthday and as we have only a few days left together all I want is to spend more and more time with him even if it means seeing him from afar.
Earlier in the morning, I overheard Vincenzo engaged in a phone conversation. He mentioned that he would be working from home for the day, indicating that someone on the other end of the call would have to handle office responsibilities in his absence. So I am sure he would stay around and this is exactly what I want.
As I entered the hall I saw servants moving around. My eyes flicked to the clock and I found that it was past the time of Vincenzo's lunch.
"He had lunch?" I asked one of the house help.
