Ensure

"Because I will be your husband." - William Alexander.

...

"Husband, life partner, soulmate, a man who has your heart, in my eyes husband is like that." - Roseline.

...

But what if the man who is my soul mate is not the man who owns my heart? Will I be happy to be his wife?

The question ran through Rose's mind over and over again and wouldn't budge, overlapping between the turmoil of her wounded heart and her restless mind.

Between Rayhan and William, the owner of the heart and the stranger.

Rayhan is always worried and William is overconfident they are both opposites and unfortunately Rose is like a selfish girl who can't get William out of her mind even though they've only been together for three days. William dominates her effortlessly, so impressively that it cannot be overlooked.

A man who is difficult to describe, he is a man who is currently sleeping on a long sofa in the same room as her.

William Alexander, who are you?

Rose couldn't think straight, she couldn't even sleep right now, not because she was in the same room as William but because William made her half-dead curious about how he felt for her.

When Rose used William's cell phone earlier, she accidentally checked her photo gallery, there was only a photo of a middle-aged woman with blonde hair and a grown man who looked the same age as her.

Maybe they were William's mother and brother, but they didn't look alike at all and there was another woman in a navy blue dress that she didn't get to see her face because William was peeking so quickly Rose frantically opened the online shop screen and pretended to look for a watch.

Who is she? he was standing next to a man but Rose didn't get to see the man's face, could it be William or was it his brother?

Unfortunately Rose almost died of curiosity now. If William has a lover then why did he propose to her?

"Should I see it one more time?" Rose muttered to herself.

Rose realized that William had put his cellphone on the table near the sofa and William seemed to be sleeping soundly.

She didn't want to be hanged by curiosity so Rose stepped carefully and sat on the sofa silently and grabbed William's cell phone.

Rose glanced worriedly, her heart was beating fast, her breathing was getting irregular and she was starting to feel cold sweat.

"Relax Rose you're just making sure." Rose was talking to herself again.

Though hesitant, Rose turned on William's cell phone and opened the gallery.

"No way! What are you doing Rose!" Said Rose who finally gave up her intention because her heart felt uneasy and turbulent.

But unfortunately, the curiosity reappeared and the more pressing it, Rose again grabbed William's cell phone which she had previously placed on the table again.

"Relax, you're just making sure. If he has a lover then you'll easily be freed from his bondage. That's right, it's not just out of curiosity." Rose said and once again like a fool she was talking to herself and starting to hold her breath when William's cell phone gallery opened.

Rose was still pulling up the screen carefully, looking at the photos one by one and looking for the whereabouts of the photo of the girl again but then William's voice grimaced.

"Why aren't you sleeping, honey?"

Rose's body froze, William suddenly woke up and now Rose felt William resting his chin on his shoulder.

With her heart pumping like she was seeing a ghost, Rose glanced at William who was silent again.

"Fortunately he's just delirious." Said Rose breathing a sigh of relief.

Rose refocused on William's cell phone and let William's head rest on his shoulder.

"What are you looking for?"

Upsie... Looks like you got caught, Rosie...

Rose slowly turned around, William was not leaning his head but Rose could still feel William's breath roaring warmly against the nape of her neck.

"I just... I..." Rose couldn't answer, her tongue groaned and her body stiffened even though she just stood still when William pulled his cell phone from her grip, and then she felt William getting closer to him.

With guts that had shrunk, Rose could only surrender when William had lowered his legs to squeeze his body and back to support his head in Rose's neck.

"Her name is Jasmine but I prefer to call her Jane and she always introduces herself as Jane. She is my mom." William said explaining the photo of a blonde girl in a navy blue dress which made Rose curious.

"The man next to her is my dad Jackson. Here's a photo of them when they were young." William continued.

"You know, I would have thought you had fallen for me for secretly checking my phone," William whispered, his voice hoarse and deep and sounding so terrifying it made Rose's spine tingle.

"I'm sorry..." Rose finally got up the courage to apologize even though her tongue felt sore, even Rose could still feel her body shaking a little.

"I'm just curious, I thought you already have a lover." She continued to explain.

"So what if I have a lover? You have a lover too, right?" William whispered again, Rose froze, even more, when the tip of William's lips slightly touched her earlobe.

"No, I mean... I mean if you already have a girlfriend then why are we getting married we should stop before we get stuck." Rose said haltingly.

"I'm already trapped and you better be careful or I won't hesitate to grab you and take you trapped with me," William replied, he didn't even hesitate to briefly kiss Rose's neck which made Rose's body heat up instantly.

"Will, control yourself," Rose said restrained because William kissed her long neck again.

"You know, I'm a little mad at you. I didn't give access to my phone to let you check my phone casually."

Rose's eyes were closed, she could only grip her dress to hold back her screams of fear. William is very scary, he is like a tiger ready to pounce at any moment.

"What if I punish you?" William whispered again.

"I know I was wrong but please don't go beyond your limits." Threatening Rose firmly.

"Limits? What are our limits?"

Oh God save me, Rose can only pray now. William ran a hand through his hair then his hands went down and slowly hugged him from behind.

"I'm so sleepy, you disturbed my sleep and checked my phone. So unfair. Hurry up and sing me a song."

What? What's with William's voice? Where did that dark and terrifying aura go? William instead suddenly spoiled him, he even sounded whining at this time.

"Are you sure?"

"So what kind of punishment do you want honey? I can't think of anything but to hear you sing to me," whined William.

"Alright, lay down. You shouldn't have to scare me while in that mode! You're making me think dirty things!" Rose said annoyed that without realizing it made her unconsciously utter a sentence that embarrassed her.

William could only laugh as he lay down.

"Seeing you so tense makes me want to keep teasing you!"

"You bad man!" Rose cursed in annoyance as she adjusted William's blanket.

And unexpectedly, William sat back down and made his lips touch Rose's gently.

William knew what he was doing was a very dangerous thing but he couldn't stop himself from kissing Rose's luscious lips as if calling out to him.

"Sing sweet or I'll kiss you again., William said after pulling himself up and laying back comfortably on the sofa leaving Rose with her dumb face frozen in disbelief that they had only been together for three days and William had stolen her kiss three times.
