In the world of billionaires, Ryan Mendez was a name that commanded both awe and fear. As the CEO of a global empire, his life seemed perfect....money, power, and influence at his fingertips. But beneath the polished surface lay a shadowed past, one...
We both left the café. Getting out of it we both headed toward the car. Our finger gently touched as I swiftly interwind our hands. My hands melted with hers. Roselyn's hand felt so good in mine I feel like never leaving them. Her gentle touch soothes my soul as I feel that the chaos of my life has taken a pause, I love her cotton soft skin.

I can't tell what effect this woman has on me, I can't express how she makes me feel. I promise myself to cherish every part of her for the rest of my life.
She is the only woman who I dote on after my mother. I wish mom was there too, she would have been so happy for me. She always wanted me to date a perfect girl and I did.
"Rey!" That honey-mixed voice took my attention. "There is something you are not telling me" Rose said with furrowed brows. I shook my head and before I could utter a word I heard someone interrupt us.
"Ryan!" A sad yet slow female voice called me, more like warning me.
No! Not her. I am not in my right mind now. Please no. No Mia Brown please.
"Ryan, why are you holding her hands" Mia asked looking between me and Rose with a sad face.
Rose looked annoyed, she was trying hard to hide her emotions but I somehow knew what she might be feeling.
"A-are you b-both dating?" Mia asked with a bit of wide eyes more like staring at me.
My eyes were on Rose only. That's it I think I should tell Mia about us.
I decided to tell Mia that we both are dating not wanting to extend the matter more. "Mia we bo-" before I could say something Mia ran towards me and hugged me like her life depends on it. "No Rey! You can't date her you are mine" she said while still hugging me tightly. She squeezed me firmly like I was her property. I didn't touched her instead I distanced my hands from her not hugging her back while my focus was on Rose completely.
I was just trying to push her away but before I could do something she placed her lips on my cheeks making my eyes go wide in shock.
I finally managed to push her away. As soon as my eyes travelled towards Roselyn I saw her on the verge of bursting out in anger but she chose to run away as fast as she could.
"ROSE!" I shouted trying to call her back but before my voice could reach her she was out of my sight.
"Rey" Mia tried to speak but was stopped by me "You... YOU RUINED EVERYTHING" I shouted making her flinch and ran towards the direction Rose just went ignoring Mia completely.
I kept on running and running until I reached the garden area where I saw her sitting silently breathing heavily on the grass land as she was curled up with her knees stuck to her chest and head kept on her knees.
As soon as I spotted her I ran towards her and covered her with my arms as I fell on the grass land with her.
"Rose.. Rose listen to me! Try to understand it was not what you are thinking I-" she was trying hard to pull away from the hug but I didn't budge.
"Stop consoling me Ryan, she is always around you and you-" She said while I tightened the hug.
"Please Rose, let me clear it" She shook her head still trying to pull away. "Noo". She suddenly started to breathe heavily more like trying to catch her breath. She was panting with uneven breaths along with that her forehead was covered with sweat droplets. I saw her condition like this when the car was about to hit her last week that day.
"Rose! ROSE... A-are you ok?" I asked to which she shook her head "L-le...leave me alone" she breathed with her eyes closed.
I took her on my lap caressing her hair and rubbed her back to sooth her. She grabbed her handbag and took a bottle of pills and took some of them in her mouth while I gave her the bottle I purchased at the café.
Soon after taking those pills she calmed down breathing slowly and constantly. Slowly she looked up at me.
"What was tha-" I tried to speak but she cut off "not now Ryan, I will t-tell you.. ev-everything soon." She spoke with so much difficulty. I took her in my arms and headed towards the car while her head rested on my chest with eyes closed shut. I am guessing that it was a panic attack
No no no, if it was a panic attack and too because of me I won't forgive myself for hurting my Rose in any way.
Soon as we reached I placed her at the back seat of the car comfortably and took her jacket off as she might be feeling exhausted. I sat on the driver seat and turned the air conditioner on to soothe her down. I threw my head back on the seat and closed my eyes as I was feeling anxious after the situation we just witnessed.
Soon I started the car and drove it to take her to my place as I don't want something happening to her in my absence I want her in front of my eyes every second of my life. I know how a panic attack feels, I have suffered with it when my mum died, The rage I had for that one bastard who was responsible for my mother's death made me this devilish guy I am right now, The anger made me become the person I never wished I was. "I won't spare you Travis" I mumbled those words under gritted teeth making sure they were inaudible to Rose.
Well right now, we are focusing on Rose instead of my identity. She just witnessed a panic attack and I think it's because of me. What will happen if she gets to know about this, Will she ever forgive me? Will she give me a chance to justify myself, will I be able to crystal clear things?
I need to look after Rose and clear the misunderstanding as soon as possible.
Damien! Calm down.
My eyes were glossy with tears threatening me to fall but I blinked them away as my way got blurry. "My life has become pathetic, mum. Where are you?" I mumbled to myself in a low voice again I was sure that it was inaudible to Rose. Well I guess she is asleep maybe, so she might not be able to hear me anyhow.
