Authors pov

"No..."

Damian's voice boomed in his office...

"How long are you going to delay it, you have to do it sooner or later..."

His father Alexander spat angrily at him, They were meeting after 5 months and 1st thing they did was get into an argument...

"I am not marrying that bitch, she is not worthy to become my wife, do you really think that she is capable enough to rule beside me..."

Damian banged his fist loudly that the big wooden table shook a bit...

"Woman does not rule in mafia, they are only suppose to give us heirs and warm our beds, nothing else... How many times do I have to tell you this one simple thing..."

Damian scowled at his father's words, it only disgusted him...

"In which century are you living father..."

He said disappointingly...

"Because of your this behaviour I lost my mother, if you would have trained your wifes then they would have been alive till now, you married 3 times and your enemies killed them all, you didn't allow them to get trained because of your all this submissive bullshit , we are deprived of mother's love since childhood just because of you, and I won't let that happen to my children..."

Alexander clenched his jaw tightly listening the accusations of his own son...

"My wife will rule beside me, she will be feared, not because she is the wife of mafia boss, people will fear her because she is worthy enough..."

Damian glared at his father with the same intensity...

"You are saying this because of that girl, you think I don't know that she is staying in your room, how are you supporting her over your own family members, I am trying to marry you with a girl who has high status in the society, who can make our connections more stronger and you are running behind that low life, she is nothing in front of natasha..."

Alexander's voice was filled with hate and disgust...

Damian crushed the glass which he was holding in his hand, some pieces pierced in his hand making the blood flow freely from the wounds...

"She is not a low life, and natasha is nothing but just a piece of trash in front of rose..."

Damian growled...

"Your stubbornness will be her death, don't provoke me to kill her son..."

Damian smirked darkly at his father's threat...

"Careful father, you will get yourself killed while doing that, trust me many have tried and it's not easy to kill her unlike your dead wife's..."

Damian mocked making his blood boil...

Alexander slammed his glass on the table and exited from the office, when he stepped out he saw rose standing there guarding the office...

He looked her up and down with disgust filled eyes, she noticed it but kept her face calm and relaxed which added a fuel to his anger...

He started walking towards her expecting her to step back but she stood on her ground, staring back at his angry eyes bravely...

"Listen you bloody low life, get out of my son's life as soon as possible, I am warning you..."

He threatened her...

"Who told you that I am low life ?"

She said calmly unaffected by the hateful daggers he was throwing at her through his eyes and words...

"You are just a slave of Renzo, nothing else..."

He stated...

"Yes I am... But that doesn't mean I am a low life, sometimes things aren't exactly as we thought them to be..."

He was confused by her puzzled words...

"What do you mean ?"

He asked with narrowed eye's...

"You will know that soon..."

She said smirking...

Rose entered in his office and saw damian sitting on the sofa with annoyed face, his office was a mess, few files were spread on the floor with broken glasses, her eyes landed on his wounded hand which was still bleeding...

She opened the drawer and took out the first aid kit, he watched her actions but remained silent, he was not only frustrated because of his father but because of her behaviour too, he tried to open her up but failed, whenever he tried to overcome the distance between them she created some more distance, she started practicing late at night and woke up too early for the workout to avoid him and his closeness and he was well aware of that...

she realised that she is getting comfortable with him and its was not good for her so, she decided to stay away from him as much as possible and It was only increasing his desires to have her and that craziness was ready to break all the limits...

She sat beside him placing the kit on the small table located in front of the sofa.

"I don't need it, leave me alone..."

He said with a sulking face...

She held his injured hand making him look at her, she picked up the cotton balls poured some antiseptic on it and started cleaning his wound...

"If we don't treat small wounds on time, it won't take much time for them to become Cankers..."

She said bandaging his hand while he was looking at her with his piercing gaze...

"Same goes for feelings rose, if we can't take care of our desires on time it won't take much time for them to become toxic..."

He replied in the same tone as her, she placed all the things back in the kit and closed it...

She didn't say anything after his words, she has nothing to say. She was about to grab the kit but he grabbed her wrist, her eyes snapped towards him but he quickly pushed her back making her lie on the sofa and hovered over her...

She looked at him blankly and the coldness in her eyes was boiling his insides. After all these days she understood what damian wants from her and somewhere deep inside her heart she knows that she wants the same. The only difference being she was controlling her desires brilliantly while he was struggling to do that.

He got whatever he want since childhood, he was not used to this kind of resistance and denial, but this girl was a forbidden fruit for him, no matter how much he wanted to have her, it was difficult on so many levels. On other hand rose started feeling things for him, his soothing and gentle touches were making her melt, she wanted to push everything aside and get lost in his embrace but she knows better than that, all these feelings were forbidden to her, she was well aware that she has to go back in 6 months and Renzo will take her back no matter what, so she started creating distance between them but this stubborn man was not ready to do that...

"Why are you so cold to me, angel..."

He said dangerously close to her lips...

"I don't know what you are talking about..."

She replied turning her face aside looking at the empty walls instead of him...

He grabbed her jaw with his injured hand and made her look at him, she saw the veins on his forehead popping out, his jaw was clenched and red angry eyes were boring holes into her...

"You know what I am talking about, so stop acting dumb... Damn it"

"Whatever you want is wrong, we can't do that and you know that very well..."

She replied back...

"Nothing is wrong, why can't you think about yourself instead of your God damn rules, rose...

Live for yourself, be selfish..."

His voice was desperate and his large frame was still hovering over her...

"Be selfish ? then why are you not doing anything to a person who is trying to kill you, you know who he is and still you are sitting here quite, why?... Because you know that we can't always behave the way we want, I am bound too just like you so stop questioning me..."

Damian stayed silent, getting up he sat back on the sofa, she fixed her shirt and sat beside him...

"I am not sitting quite rose, I am just waiting for the right time..."

Damian ran his fingers through his hair thinking about the person who was conspiring against him all this time...

"No boss, you are not waiting for the right time, you are trying to avoid the time to face that person because it's hurting you..."

She said bluntly making him avert his face aside indirectly agreeing with her...

"If he attacks you again then I have to kill him, boss... till now I kept quiet as per your orders but I can't do that anymore..."

She said and he smirked...

"And why are you so desperate to kill the person who is a threat to me...  because you care for me rose, why can't you just Fucking accept it..."

He grabbed her arm with his injured hand and frustratingly said...

"Because I am your bodyguard, nothing else boss..."

She placed her hand on his which was holding her arm and removed it saying...

"Don't do it, you will get hurt..."

he scoffed knowing that she is not talking about his hand...

"Make sure it is done on time Roy, it's a very important deal..."

Damian said to Roy who was sitting beside him...

"Don't worry brother, you can trust me on that..."

Roy said cheerfully making damian chuckle on his always energetic behaviour...

"I know little brother, I can always count on you..."

Damian said patting his back...

Roy left after that and damian took off his coat and tie. Keeping them aside he walked outside to look for rose and knowing exactly where he can found her...

He crossed his hands and leaned against the door frame watching his favourite person...

Rose was doing her sword practice alone in the empty hall, she had been practicing for an hour by now and all her energy was drained, she looked at damian and stopped on her place, he was staring at her with such an intense gaze, from his facial expressions she could tell that he is not happy, she glanced at the clock and it was already 11 pm.

She was planning to stay outside his room as much as possible but now she is sure that her boss won't let that happen today...
