One look at you

And I knew you are the one I have been wanting my whole life

🦋

^^Her outfit (lehenga)

"Do you remember the night when the accident happened" Dante's eyes roamed over the naked body of rose

Rose stares at the glass wall seeing the view of sunrise

Her hair falling out of her messy bun

"I don't "rose sighs

She takes a towel to hide her nudeness

He stares at her leaning on the wall

Sipping the Orange Juice, he notices her brows furrowed

Something is different

Something is troubling her but what

"What happened baby?" he asks

"I wonder if Nichole is searching for me "

"I miss her "she whispers

Dante chokes on the orange juice

"You okay" rose pats his back

If only you remember the truth about her baby

He walks in the closet and slips a summer dress on her body

Hugging her from behind his hands caress her stomach

"There is something else troubling you," Dante asks

"I just don't feel good staying in this room," Rose says

Dante smiles sweetly "Then let me take you somewhere

Where you will love it"

Few minutes later

Rose feels the sand squish slowly through her toes

She breathes a sigh of relief feeling the cold breeze on her face

"Have we ever been to this island before?" rose stares at the orange sky

Dante's eyes lay obsessively on her

"No"

but I wanted to

Your sister ruined all my plans

"Why do you love me so much Dante" rose murmurs

"Why these questions all of a sudden?" Dante says confused

She turns and hugs him "tell me what made you fall in love with me"

She swallowed roughly waiting for an answer

For a second everything seemed calm

Only the sound of sea waves and his heartbeat

"Everything" he spoke after a moment

"I don't need reasons to love you

Cause my love for you is forever"

Reasons might change but love doesn't

I just love you

Without I feel like I can't breathe

" I fell in love with your clumsiness" he taps her nose jokingly

Rose pouts while Dante chuckles" I don't know what to say anymore "

"So let me prove to you how much I love you" he gets on his knees

"Let me prove what words can't"

"I know I didn't ask you this before"

"I am not sorry for what I did to you baby "

Cause not once or twice I d' do it a million more times to keep you mine

"Marry me "

Rose scoffs joking "Are you asking or ordering "

Dante clicks his tongue

"Babe I am waiting for you to say yes "

"Then wait forever "rose sticks her tongue out and runs away laughing

Dante chases her

"I don't need to ask I take what's mine "his hands tug at her waist and they both fell on the sand

"Psycho" rose murmurs

"What did you say "Dante's eyes widened

He starts tickling her

"Okay okay stop it, "Rose says laughing in between

"Stop ticking me "Rose yells

Laughs fill the air

Rose kisses him knowing it will stop Dante

his hands roam everywhere on her body possessively

Just one day and she will be Mrs king

Her head whipped to the side as she hears some noise

She looked at a group of people approaching them

Dante chuckles looking at them

An old woman speaks

"Congratulations both of you "

Rose stares at him curiously seeing a bright smile on Dante's face

The older woman caressed Dante's head speaking in a language she couldn't understand

The older woman turns to rose and gives her a necklace made of flowers

"Ouch," rose says when the older women tug at her cheeks

"What is happening Dante"? rose murmurs

"Just go with her I will tell you later" Dante winks at her when the older woman takes rose with her

"Where are we going um, "rose asks

"You can call me Amma, "the old woman says smiling

"You are a very beautiful rose" Amma compliments

"Thankyou"

They both enter a little house made of wood

"Wear this "she hands her Indian clothes called lehenga

A full ankle-length skirt and a blouse

A few minutes later

"Oh my god how to tie this thing "rose groans not able to tie the knots of the blouse

"Beta are you done," Amma asks

"No just a sec- "rose says but Amma cuts her off

"I knew you wouldn't be able to do this on your own

Let me help you"

"Bahut pyari lag rahi ho " Amma whispers looking at her

(Translation- you are looking very beautiful)

Rose eyed Amma with a confused look on her face

"How long you have been on this island" rose asks

"2 years "Amma replies decorating her hair with flowers

"What do you do here? "

"We work in a hotel "

"Sir is very nice he gives us home food and everything and in return, all he asks is loyalty " Amma replies

"Sir?" rose says

"Your soon to be husband, "Amma says chuckling

"Come let's go"

Rose feels cold in the night as it caresses her skin

They assemble in the open ground

Rose sits beside dante

"What is happening Dante

Who are these people?" rose asks seeing the small crowd surrounding them

Dante kisses her ear and whispers "These people are working for me for a long time"

"When they knew about our wedding

They wanted to celebrate it

Amma wanted us to do a ritual

More particularly an Indian ritual before marriage"

The two women sit beside rose and draw henna on her hands ( heena- a temporary dye used to draw decorative designs on hands)

Rose stares in awe on the floral design drawn on her hand all the while different people show their dance performances

Everyone cheers for them

"Come let's dance," Dante says when Amma cheers them to dance

"But my hands-" rose says

"Shh just let me hold you, "Dante says tugging at her waist

Rose doesn't touch him to not ruin the Heena on her hands

They dance in the moonlight

While one's eye lit up with the adoration

Rose gulped nervously

She feels dizzy for what she was about to do

She didn't know why her heart was telling her to stop the next move she was about to make

When he leaned in and kissed her cheeks

Her heart melted

Tears forming in her eyes

Trying to hide it from him she leans her head on his chest as they sway to the music

Soon the crowds join them and the environment fills with cheers

Dante dances with Amma

Rose stares at both of them smiling

She has never seen him so carefree around other people

A nudge on her shoulder distracted her

"Come let's go we don't have time," a man says to her wearing a black mask

She walks away from the crowd with the stranger

Her heart racing as she takes every step away from Dante

Soon at the distance, she sees a chopper

The man grins evilly seeing the chopper which would help them to take rose away from him

"Fuck "the man curses hearing gunshots sound at a distance

"Run rose" the man orders

"Rose" Dante screams

Her breath hitched she turned around to find Dante Running towards her

She runs panicked towards the chopper

The man helps rose to sit on the chopper but before he could sit in

A bullet pierces his head

Rose's eyes widen in shock

She screams seeing the man fall to the ground

The chopper takes off in the air

Her hand tightly closed into a fist as she closes her eyes

Breathing deeply, she tries to calm herself

Tremors leave from her body as she notices the heena on her hands is ruined

"No rose doesn't think from your heart" her voice breaks

He is

A liar

A killer

Who killed your parents

You saw the proof yesterday at the party

You can't deny it

He is a monster

Stop feeling for him

He is manipulator

She closed her eyes seeking peace

Not realising

The peace she is seeking is only in the arms of the devil
