Authors pov
Damian came back from the basement after taking care of Liam and his brother. He was still shirtless
and dangerously calm, he killed both Liam and his brother when they dared to stood against him even
after warning. He walked towards his bedroom and by looking at his dangerous aura his guard didn't
even dared to make an eye contact with him.
He entered his room and saw Rose is gone, it was almost midnight and everything was silent. He could
only hear the ticking voice of the clock hanging on the wall.
He hopped under the shower and sighed.
"Enough is enough now Rose, if you don't want to become mine in a peaceful way then I have to use
another way... You left me no choice..."
He tightened his fist and punched the wet bathroom wall.

After her usual morning routine Rose head towards the dinning hall. She wore normal jeans and top as
it was Sunday and a holiday for her.
She saw everyone already sitting at the dinning table but Damian was nowhere to be seen. After last
night's argument she decided to confront him about everything, she wanted to ask him about the
challenge thing. Last night She waited in his room for hours but he didn't come so giving up she left his
room and decided to talk in the morning.
She sat down beside Ashton, but Ashton didn't looked at her scared that she will question him about
his lie that he said last night. Everyone finished their breakfast and still Damian didn't come.
"Where is boss?..."
She asked suddenly making everyone look at her...
"Sweetie your boss is visiting a doctor for his injured hand..."
Daniel answered teasing her...
"Trust me she is anything but sweetie..."
Jack mumbled but Lilly heard it and elbowed him making him wince...
"Alone, why didn't he take anyone with him..."
Everyone smiled at her overprotective behaviour...
"Rose, hospital is there... Did you see that... There..."
Joseph pointed outside the window from where the office building was clearly visible...
"Hardly 5 minutes distance... He don't need his bodyguards to go there..."
"Oww... Come on Joseph, she is missing him, aren't you Rose..."
Jasmine teased her sipping on her orange juice.
"No, I just wanted to talk about something with him..."
Rose said embarrassingly hiding her blush...
"Yeah right, we can clearly see your important conversations on your neck, baby..."
Joseph pointed towards her neck which had a hickey on it, it was fading but still clearly visible. It was
from the night before yesterday, everyone looked at her neck and laughed, she quickly hid it with her
hair and turn red with embarrassment.
"Don't call her baby Joseph, haven't you seen how her big bad wolf had beaten the shit out of Liam,
damn how did you make him so possessive about you..."
Daniel put down his fork and asked curiously placing his elbow on the table and supporting his chin on
it.
"Yeah, seriously Rose... We all want to know..."
Jasmine tagged along, Rose excused herself from her bullies and speedily walked towards her room.

Damian ate his lunch at his office, Rose tried to approach him but he was busy with meetings whole
day.
Damian was deliberately avoiding her so he can calm down his mind before taking any step which he
will regret later.
Everyone was tranning in the ground outside the mansion and Damian was just sitting there as doctor
told him to not put too much stress on his hand as the wound was deep.
Rose was occasionally stealing glances at Damian and sometimes tried to talk to him too but he didn't
gave her chance, giving up she decided to talk later with him.
Rose was busy in her shooting practice and suddenly she heard a familiar voice making her eyes snap
towards it.
"Rose..."
She looked at the person who called her and smiled.
"Jackson..."
She called out his name surprised and Damian turned towards them with lightning speed.
Jackson ran towards her and picked her up, hugging her tightly. Daniel and Joseph both grabbed
Damian arms to keep him on his place because he was ready to pound on Jackson anytime now.
"Control big brother, he is just a friend..."
Daniel said clutching on him tightly.
"This is so unfair, totally unfair..."
Jack stomped his feet on the ground madly...
"She didn't even talk to me nicely and look at her now, how tightly she is hugging that boy..."
Jack complained like a child, adding fuel in the fire...
"Will you shut the fuck up jack, can't you see you are provoking him..."
Daniel scolded him.
"Looks like Rose hit him hard on his head..."
Jack rolled his eyes at Joseph's comment.
"What are you doing here, Jackson..."
Rose asked pulling out from their hug.
"I am Alexander's new bodyguard..."
He replied grinning.
"But you are a class A..."
"Yeah but looks like knight's are making Renzo break his rule..."
Jackson chuckled...
"Yeah and it's another thing that I pitched for this job, I wanted to work with you."
He gave her a charming smile.
"You are impossible..."
Rose shook her head...
Jackson introduced himself to everyone and with his friendly nature he got quickly mixed in the group.
Rose smiled looking at Jackson and glanced towards Damian and her smile quickly disappeared when
she saw him glaring at Jackson.
She approached Damian and hesitatingly said.
"Boss..."
"Meet me in my office..."
He ordered her not taking his eyes of Jackson and left leaving her confused at his sudden dry
behaviour.

Rose came back from her training and took shower, dressing up she made her way towards his office.
She knocked and entered when he granted her permission.
Getting in she saw him sitting on his leather chair, holding a drink in his one hand and resting his clean
shaved chin on other. He was looking very calm and dangerous than usual. She felt like she is looking
at total a stranger instead of the Damian she knows.
Damian gestured her to take a seat and she did. She sat in front of him in an awkward silence. She
wanted to confront him but didn't know how to start and from where.
He placed his glass on the table and leaned forward.
"I want to talk something important with you..."
He declared grabbing her full attention.
"About what ?"
She asked carefully, not trusting his grim mood.
"I want your body Rose..."
He said leaning against his office chair sitting in a relaxed position..
Her grey orbs widened at his blunt words. She never thought that he will talk something like this to
her...
" I am not your whore, boss..."
She tried to keep her face straight not wanting to show him any kind of emotions but internally she was
boiling in anger...
"I know, let's make a deal, you give me what I want and in return I will give you something which you
desire the most... Tell me Rose What do you want..."
She just stared at his evil smirking face, her thoughts were a mess, she didn't understand if she should
burst out in anger, disappointment or cry over her fate which never fails to break her at each and every
point of her life ...
She closed her eyes and pushed her each and every thought aside. She didn't gave any chance to her
feelings, to overtake her control. That privilege she kept to herself.
" I want Freedom..."
She replied in her collective tone, not displaying any her inner Chaos in front him and his smirking face
turned into a shocked one, he again leaned forward with a lightning speed...
"You want my body, right?... You want to use me like a whore, I was nothing but just a slave to you from
the beginning... Then fine, do whatever you want, you want my body fine take it, have it as you desire...
But after that I want my freedom, from you and Renzo. My life will only belong to me and no one else. I
want my freedom, I want to go away from this, from everything... And I promise you, you will never see
my face again after that..." Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Her eyes turned glossy at the end but she didn't let the tears come out...
"Everything is just a deal and challange for you, which you want to win at any condition... Fine then I
am ready for this deal, take my body and give me my freedom...."
Her voice broke but every word was heavy and filled with pain...
Damian was looking at her with his dropped jaw, her every word pierced through his heart making it
break little by little. He never thought that his plan will backfire like this. The thought of her leaving him
again was too much for him, he was addicted to her and was not ready to let her go at any condition.
Damian diverted his eyes from her glossy once and closed his eyes, gritting his jaw tightly. He stood up
and kicked his chair angrily making it fly and crash on the wall.
He strode towards her side and turned her chair towards him, she was still in a sitting position so he
caged her between the chair and himself.
Her heart started pounding when his angry eyes glared at her, that to in such close proximity.
"You want freedom... Huh ?... You want to leave me again, like you did before."
He raised his hand from the chair and grabbed her jaw tightly...
"Listen to me and listen very carefully Rose, you are mine, you belong to me and only me. So throw
that fucking thought of your freedom from your mind because you are not going anywhere. You are
fucking mine..."
He growled near her face, anger was oozing out from his every word. She removed his hand from her
jaw and pushed him back. She stood up and glared at him with the same intensity as his.
"Why can't you let me go, you got want you want, you completed your challenge successfully then why
do you still want to make my life difficult. Why do you want to claim me, haven't you satisfied yourself
by treating me like a bet..."
She spat at him angrily.
He scrunched his eyebrows in confusion when he heard her words.
"What?"
He asked confused...
"What did you say? Challenge? Bet?.... What are you talking about..."
"I heard this from your mouth Damian, you and jack were talking about the challenge that you had
about me and all that kind of rubbish things..."
She said controlling herself from bursting out in tears.
"And after that..."
He cocked his eyebrow at her...
"What did you heard after that..."
"That was enough to make me understand, what do you expect from me that I will stand there and
listen to all the dirty things you guys were talking about me..."
He ran his fingers frustratingly in his hair and looked at her in disbelief.
"Did you left me because of this?"
He asked leaning to her level...
She just nodded not trusting her voice anymore.
"You said I was just a task for you because of this..."
He asked gripping on her chin and she nodded again.
He let go her chin and turning around he threw the vase on the window making it shatter into small
pieces but the window didn't even got a scratched.
She almost flinched at his outburst.
"I thought you were smart Rose but no you proved me wrong ..."
She looked at him confused ignoring his angry voice.
"How can you be so stupid.."
"What do you mean?"
She asked confusingly.
He grabbed her arm and dragged her towards his laptop, she stood there and he played the cctv
footage of his office where he and jack were talking about the challenge thing.
Rose saw everything and stood there shocked when she heard their full conversation.
"Now you tell me Rose, where was I wrong in all this shit..."
He asked madly making her heart stung with guilt. She never thought that this situation will has it's own
different side. Her words got stuck in her throat and she was now not sure what to say and what not.
"Do you have any idea about how much you hurt me because of your fucking misunderstanding... Do
you have any idea how I felt when you called me just your task and turned your back on me."
She looked down in guilt but he grabbed her face and made her look in his eyes which was demanding
thousands of answers from her.
"I am sorry... I didn't thou..."
"Why didn't you confront me, why did you leave me like that... Why did you left me like I didn't mattered
Rose, I never expected this from you..."
He said disappointingly.
"I am sorry, I know its my mistake. I should have confronted you before taking any decision. Please
forgive me."
She pleased in her broken voice.
He stepped back from her...
"You hurt me for no reason Rose, it's your turn now... I am not going to forgive you so easily. You will
pay for every second which I spent in pain ..."
"No please, listen to me..."
She shook her head and tried to hold his hand but he pulled away...
"Save it..."
He said coldly and walked out of the office leaving her there alone, regretting on her stupid decisions.
Rose clutched on her hair in frustration and cursed herself for taking such decision impulsively. She
realised that she hurted Damian for no reason and that guilt was making her heart sink in her chest.
