Say, you are mine!

Rosetta looked around but couldn’t see anyone but then heard someone whispering close to her ear.

“Looking for me sweetheart?…”

She turned around with gasp and was ready to attack but got blocked.

“You?”

Her eyes widened. It was masked man.

She snatched her hand away and punched him hard in the stomach.

“Don’t you dare touch me”

She growled.

He stepped back dusting his clothes casually and tsk at her.

“That’s it?… You can only hit this hard!?”

He chuckled mockingly.

“Your hands are too soft for me… You think you can hurt me like this…”

“What are you doing here?… What do you want?”

She asked glaring at him.

“That’s the first thing you have to say?… Shouldn’t you be saying thanks for saving your life last time…”

He asked and she rolled her eyes.

“Shouldn’t you be saying sorry for hurting my shoulder…”

She countered.

“Awe… Don’t tell me daddy’s princess got hurt with little twist…”

He mocked.

“Shut the fuck up and Tell me why you are here?”

She spat.

“I am always around you Rosetta”

He said in his silky smooth voice which almost melt her feminine heart but anger was too strong to let it takeover. Her urge to see his face was killing her from inside.

“I can tell you what I want but can you give me that?”

“Why are you helping me?”

She asked.

“Because I want to protect you…”

He answered honestly.

“I have to because your so called mafia husband can’t do that…”

Rosetta looked at him angrily.

“I don’t need anyone to protect me… Nor you neither my husband…”

“You need me!… Because you can’t fight with Vlad alone…”

He countered.

“And who the fuck are you to decide this?”

She growled.

“You have no right to interfere in my life… Who are you?… Why you have suddenly appeared in my life and trying to be my knight in shining armour… Why do you care?”

“I care!”

He growled making her step back. She got startled by his angry voice.

“I care because I love you…”

He declared and her eyes widened in shock, she froze for a moment not believing in her ears. She already have Vlad and skyler in her life who are trying to get her and she is tired of them. Fighting daily battle with them and now here is the another one.

And to be honest she is scared of this one, she might win against them but she has no hope of winning again this mysterious man. She can’t even make him step back.

“Suddenly?!… It’s just one meeting and you are in love with me…”

She scoffed.

“Do men have special skills of falling for women just for body…”

“I don’t want your body… I am not like your husband… Or Vlad, who is trying to get you in his bed…”

He answered.

She still can’t understand how he knows everything about her personal life.

“I want your love… I want you to stop fighting with me.”

He took step towards her and she stepped back raising her Hand to stop him.

“Don’t come closer”

She warned.

“I am married… I am committed to skyler… You better forget about it and move on. I don’t need you in my life…”

“Skyler?”

He scoffed.

“You are committed to that man… That manwhore… Who just wants your body… Open your eyes girl and look around, you are surrounded by wolves and they just want to satisfy their hunger…”

“And you are one of them”

She countered.

“No I am not…”

He stated.

“I am not one of them… I want to love you Rosetta and I want you to give me one chance… After that you don’t have to care about anything. Not about Vlad, not about agreement or your forced husband and not about your so called family status… You will be free from everything… I am your freedom…”

She stared at him blankly. How does he know what she wants.

“Then show me your face”

She said.

He let out mocking laugh.

“I love you Rosetta but I am not fool… You can’t trick me…”

“Then don’t expect me to trust a man who can’t even show his face… I can’t fall for a man who has no identity… You are Stanger whom I just met…”

She said.

His eyes visibly saddened.

“I am not stranger to you… I was always around you. You were always in front of me but the sad thing is you never noticed me… May be because I wasn’t from royal and rich family…”

“If you are claiming to know me then you should know that I don’t discriminate because of status…”

She stated and it was true. She never treats someone badly just because of their status.

“I know!… That’s why I love you… I know you don’t but your brothers does…”

He said and she frowned.

“You know me Rosetta, you just can’t recognise me…”

“Will you stop being mystery?”

She said annoyingly.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“We were in same University… I had crush on you. On pretty, silent but brave girl. Polite with no arrogance… Simple and confident… We were in same group in Karate club but you never noticed me… I tried to approach you but your brothers didn’t let me… Say said they are letting me go because I am not even worthy of getting their hands dirty with my blood… I am not worthy of you… May be they were right… That’s why I worked hard, I made myself worthy of you… Look at me now, no one can touch me… I did this for you Rosetta because I want you in my life…”

He explained.

Rosetta stood there stunned. She is aware that her brothers were doing this with boys who tried to approach her and that’s why she was single. May be he is right. She can’t deny the possibility and the way he explained she is sure that he isn’t lying.

“If it wasn’t because of your brothers then you would have been mine…”

He said.

“When I finished my training I came back to confess My love to you but you were getting married to Skyler king… I also find out that Russian mafia is behind you. And why won’t he, you are wonder which God has created. Anyone can fall for you.”

He said with adoration. Rosetta was listening to him silently. He is the first man who is not desiring about her body but her love.

“I stepped back thinking you love Skyler and that’s why you are marrying him but then I find out that it’s a contract marriage and it was new hope for me to get you…”

“Why should I believe you?”

She asked.

“I am not lying… I thought you love Skyler that’s why I didn’t interfere… I stopped Vlad who was going to attack you on your wedding day… Because I wanted you to be happy…”

He confessed.

Rosetta looked at him shocked.

“It was you”

She mumbled. She knows that Vlad was going to attack and they were ready for him but something happened which made him not to do that. Jackson informed him that someone else messed with Vlad and he had to retrieve. They couldn’t find out that person but now she knows who was that person.

“Yes, it was me…”

He accepted.

“Trust me Rosetta… I am the only one for you…”

Rosetta shook her head. It was too confusing and unbelievable for her.

“Look, you might be saying truth but you should stay away from me… I am not interested in you…”

“Why?… Do you love Skyler?”

He frowned.

“It’s none of your business…”

She countered. She doesn’t know if she loves him or not but she definitely can’t hear him saying bad things about skyler. It was triggering her.

“He don’t deserve you… he is trying to dominate you…”

He warned.

“That’s my problem… At least he never hurt me like you did… It doesn’t matter what he wants, at least he cares about me… I am sure he will kill Vlad if I tell him everything, I trust skyler with that but I won’t tell him anything. Because it’s my fight. I don’t need anyone’s help…”

She said.

“He can’t stand against Vlad”

He stated.

“He can… He is powerful…”

She defended.

“The power which he got from his father… That money, status, name everything is from his father… What he has of himself… Nothing!… He can’t do anything without his father…”

He spat hatefully.

“It’s not his fault that he born into rich family… He is responsible leader and son”

She said making his blood boil.

“What he can do for you?”

He asked.

“Everything which I might ask”

She said confidently. She don’t know why but she was confident about skyler.

“Can he give up for your happiness… I stepped back because I thought you love him… I sacrificed my love for your happiness… Can he do that?…”

He questioned.

“If you fall for me, can he let you go for your happiness…”

Rosetta stood there blankly not knowing how to answer his questions. She doubt skyler will do that.

“No he won’t… Because he only knows how to snatch from people… For him you are just thing to conquer…”

He said.

“You will realise what you are missing Rosetta… You are distracted now… I just want you to know that I’ll always be there whenever you are in problem. I won’t let anyone hurt you… The door of my heart is always open for you, you are welcome whenever you are ready to enter in my world…”

Rosetta ignored him and silently picked up the firewood which she collected. She was about to leave but he threw something at her.

“You might need this…”

He said.

She caught it with one hand. It was lighter.

She took it and Started walking back.

“Take care of yourself… And don’t wonder on beach in bikini, it’s hard to survive that day… Plus I can’t assure safety of men who will gawk at you…”

He teased.

“Fuck off”

She said glaring at him.

“Make sure you clean this mess… I am not going to take of these dead bodies…”

“Your wish is my command, my queen”

He Smirked.

She sighed and went back to skyler. She saw him sleeping on the same spot where she left him but he seemed unconscious.

She quickly threw firewood aside and rushed towards him. Terrifying thoughts started invading her mind. What if those men hurt him before reaching her.

“Skyler”

She shook him furiously.
