Chapter: TenAthena's POV''Mom, why didn't you tell dad?'' I say as I slowly turn to look at Alex who is standing awkwardly. He avoids my dad's eye contact as much as he can but dad keeps on staring at him which doesn't help at all right now. Wait, he doesn't notice who he is? I mean, for someone who watches football a lot should have notice.

Chapter: NineAthena's POVKnowing that I wake up alone without him by my side somehow makes me feel sad but I remove that thought away. We don't have any serious relationship together so it shouldn't bother me anyway. I sit up straight, stretching my arms.

Chapter: SevenAthena's POV''The flavour of the cake?'' The baker asks us and I turn my head to look at Alex and he does the same. We both just stare at the cakes in awe. We really don't know which once. After tasting almost all of the cake, I kind of got confused. There's this red velvet cake, chocolate cake, vanilla cake, cheese cake, rainbow cake.

Chapter: SixAthena's POVIt has been exactly a week since Alex announced our engagement to the media. Ever since, they haven't leave us alone at all. Some reporters even followed me when I was walking alone to the cafe. It isn't as bad Alex though, whenever he stops by, reporters would come and run after him.

Chapter: FiveAthena's POVI walk out of the building to find him leaning against his car. More like leaning his butt since he's tall but I can't help eye his body. He is wearing his Ray Ban sunglasses which makes him stand out more. People passes but they aren't satisfied, not until they glance at him. I find this funny so I end up smiling like an idiot.

His Rose
Abused. Tortured. Forced.
Who would have known that she is worth a million dollars?
Elia Dominic Morello, an experienced killer and also professionally known as someone who is in the Mafia. His dark stormy eyes have saw violence, his tanned rough hands have done violence and his perky full lips have said threats of death. He had gone through pain . . . suffering and all the possibility of making him stronger.
All her ever did was for the sake of his family and his loved ones. His selfishness was to keep them safe without having to deal with the possibility of dying, with each passing day but it all changed when he found the ONE.
Rose, beautiful yet prickly. She was like roses, indeed.
But, she was also the woman he'd risk his entire life for . . . no matter the circumstances.

Chapter: TenRose''NoshitSherlock.'' I chuckle before sitting properly on the hammock while I see a glimpse of his smile appearing. Then, he walks towards the chair which is placed a few feet away from where I sit, ''I want to know about you... Elia. I think I've seen enough of what you do.''

Chapter: NineRoseElia presses hard onto the gas pedal but I am surprised to see him heading straight towards the Range Rover. As we're getting nearer, he presses down the window on his side before raising a gun. Somehow, everything starts to move in slow motion—I get to see two people on the front seats looking straight at us before Elia shoots the driver.

Chapter: SevenRoseI look straight into her light green eyes as she continues to choke me—blocking my windpipe. My hands are gripping onto hers, trying to find release but her grip only tightens. She roughly pushes me against the glass window as she leans her face ever so closely; finding some sort of joy from this.

Chapter: SixRoseI blink slowly as I try to fight back from being consumed by the darkness before turning to look at Elia—seeing that he is currently trying to push the door open. My eyes remain focused on him without wanting to look anywhere else. I realise that we're still upside down; the car must have turned after the impact.

Chapter: FiveRoseI open my eyes before falling down onto the ground—hitting my arms hard. Groaning, I use both of my palms to try and push my body up as I look around, seeing that I'm in an unfamiliar dark room. My eyes wander around the room until they landed on Elia who is currently standing near the glass window; smoking his cigarette.
