Rosaleen Martinez had an ordinary life with nothing exciting going on and she loved it. She didn't worry much and she was independent. Being her best frie...
I woke up in panic, my chest was heaving up and down and I quickly got out of the bed I was on. The immediate action caused me to become unbalanced and I felt myself falling but before I could even touch the floor I was grabbed by my shoulder and waist, preventing me from hitting the floor I was startled even more when I noticed who it was that caught me. My heart dropped and I wanted to run away. A lump clogged my throat and I wanted to throw up. Maziar looked at me with concern and in a mix, anger. He helped me become steady but I moved away from him, backing up into the corner of the bed as I stared at him in fear.
"Are you alright? The doctor said that you fainted due to the shock and stress, is there anything you want?" He spoke after a good minute of us just staring at each other in silence. He spoke to me as if him revealing he was part of the mafia never happened. The worst part, he's not just in the mafia, he is the mafia.
"I want to go home." I didn't hesitate, I watched him take a step forward, making me move further back. There was this look on his face, I couldn't pinpoint what he was feeling. Anger seeped through those hazel eyes of his but concern and this other feeling were there too. It hurt my head just trying to figure out what he was feeling.
"I cannot do that, Rosaleeen, it's far too dangerous for you to be anywhere out alone while you're pregnant and well...with Laila angry now." Maziar calmly said and that made me feel upset, I couldn't believe any of this. And with me pregnant now?! Son of a bitch, if he thinks this child will stop me from leaving him and this place. Hell, I'd even leave earth if I could just to be far away from these psychos.
"I can't stay here! I don't want to be here!" I yelled at him and his jaw tightened, clearing his throat he let out a breath. Pissed, he was pissed.
"Calm down, I know you must be overwhelmed right now but it's not good for you. I can't let you leave Rose, you're safer here than anywhere else." Maziar said and I scoffed. This asshole!
"Right, with how secured this place is with Laila just magically being in your kitchen." I snapped and he nodded.
"That is already taken care of, that won't be happening any time soon. And well...we aren't exactly in the same house." At that, I raised a brow. What did he mean? I hated that I was in this situation. I felt vulnerable, scared, and most of all caged. I don't want to be here, I just want to go home, where I can bury myself in my designs and just wish this is all a nightmare after a quick nap.
"What do you mean?" I glared at him and wanted nothing more than to just leave this place. I don't want to stay here, hell, if I didn't already say that.
