“Who is going to take care of it?”
He asked and she gulped nervously.
She looked at it and blinked few times.
“How do I take care of it?”
She asked confused.
Skyler looked at her flabbergasted state and chuckled.
“I’ll teach you some other time… Don’t worry… Come let’s take shower”
He gently held her against him under the shower.
Rosetta relaxed under the warm water and laid back on his chest.
“Isn’t it bothering you?”
She asked.
“By now I am used to it”
He replied while playing with her hair.
“I am usually like this since our wedding….”
“What?”
She turned around with shocked face.
“This hard!… Isn’t it painful?”
“It is?”
He nodded.From NôvelDrama.Org.
“But why?… I never provoked or seduced you…”
She asked.
He smiled.
“That’s the problem sweetheart… You don’t have to do anything and still people will kneel before you…”
He tucked hair strand behind her ear.
“Sometimes it’s hard for me to believe that you were single till now… How can no one notice this beauty…”
Rosetta smiled nervously. How should she tell him that there are two men who are stalking her.
“Skyler do you remember that in your office you said that I am the only girl who is touching you… What does it mean?”
She asked confused.
“I mean I am definitely not the first one to touch you…”
Skyler smiled.
“You are the first one who is touching me, Rosa… Not just body but my soul too… That’s what I meant… You are the first one who is making me feel like this…”
Rosetta smiled at his sweet words but she has no idea how to reply. Everything is new to her.
“I don’t have a dress for party”
She changed the topic.
“Do you want to go for shopping?”
He asked and chuckled. It’s hard to make her open up about her feelings.
“I think I should”
She replied.
“Let’s go then”
He said.
“You?…”
She raised her eyebrows.
Skyler looked at her.
“It’s not like it’s our first time… We did wedding shopping together… And I have better choice than you, yours is terrible..”
He mocked.
Rosetta scrunched her nose.
“You are mean…”
“Of course i am… You think I am Prince charming who rides white horse… Babe I am devil, i love to feed on people’s fear and death… I am not gentleman…”
Skyler Smirked.
“Good… Because I don’t like fairy tails…”
She replied nonchalantly and walked away.
“Get ready… I am hungry”
Rosetta walked outside after wearing comfortable clothes for shopping. She was waiting in the leaving room for skyler. Elena was also sitting there but they both were ignoring each other.
“I told you that I love him and you made him fall for you… You were fighting yesterday, what changed in one night…”
Elena suddenly asked.
“I don’t think I owe you any answer… Why don’t you ask skyler about it?”
Rosetta replied nonchalantly and looked back in her phone.
“I have never seen skyler like this… He is happy with you. He never treated me like this…”
She sighed and Rosetta looked at her.
“I guess, we never ment to be together…”
“Ma’am…”
One man came in and they both look at him.
“Where is boss?… I am here to give him footage of yacht… He asked me to inquire about the accident…”
He said and Elena gulped in fear.
“Give it to me…”
She said hurriedly but Rosa stopped her.
“You wait…”
She looked at Elena.
“I am his wife, I was on the same yacht… Email it to me…”
She ordered.
That man emailed her on the spot and left.
Rosetta opened the footage and saw Elena messing with yacht’s engine. It was clear.
She looked at her angrily.
“We could have died”
Elena’s eyes watered.
“I am sorry… Please forgive me… I was blind in anger and jealousy… I just wanted to keep you away for one night but I didn’t know that it will catch fire… Please trust me…”
Rosetta rolled her eyes.
“And you want me to believe you?… When you saw me your face clearly told that you wasn’t expecting me there at all…”
“I am not lying Rosetta… I can never kill someone, I react that way because you suddenly appeared with skyler… Please don’t tell Skyler about it. He will kill me…”
She begged while crying.
Rosetta shook her head.
“He needs to know, I can’t lie to him. It was about his safety too… He won’t kill you, you guys are friends…”
Elena shook her head furiously.
“No!.. you don’t understand, Rosetta… He will kill me… For him it’s betrayal and he doesn’t like that… You haven’t seen his bad side. I don’t want to face it… Please I’ll do anything you say but don’t tell him…”
“You should have think before doing this”
Rosetta replied.
Elena grabbed her hand and begged.
“Please, please, please don’t… I don’t want to die… He has already kill one of us…”
Elena cried.
“What?”
Rosetta frowned.
“Yes”
She sobbed.
“We were group of three. I, him and Martina… She did something which Skyler didn’t like and he killed her… I don’t want to end up like her…”
Rosetta looked at her in disbelief.
“Elena, if a man can hurt you or kill you without blinking his eyes then he is not your friend and definitely not someone for whom you should fall for…”
“Please don’t tell him… I don’t want to die… I swear I just wanted to keep you away… I don’t know how it turned out like that, trust me… Why would I burn my own yacht, I don’t have that much money to waste…”
Elena tried to defend herself.
“What’s going on here?”
They heard Skyler and looked at him. Elena started shaking when she saw him.
“I heard that man came… Where is the footage?”
Skyler asked.
Rosetta looked at Elena who was looking at her pleadingly.
