Chapter 121 - Don"t touch me!
She kissed his wet lips gently and pa.s.sionately, soothing down his nerves instantly. He kissed her back hungrily, biting slightly on her lower lip.
His lips then travelled to her chin and her beautiful long neck. Rose closed her eyes and enjoyed the touch of his lips travelling down slowly from her face to her neck.
He fondly licked her prominent collar bones, slowly travelling down to her cleavage. He opened the two b.u.t.tons of her gown to reveal upper parts of her breast. He lovingly touched her b.r.e.a.s.t.s with his fingers and inserted his hands inside her bra. As soon as he gripped her one breast in his palm, his lower body showed ma.s.sive sudden reactions. His body had started to warm up and his p.e.n.i.s had already started to cry for a home!
He instantly gasped in horror and removed his hands from her bra. Rose suddenly opened her eyes in surprise and looked at Rhehan.
He had clenched his hands tightly on his thighs and was taking deap breaths.
"I am sorry, I can"t do this," he said clenching his hands even more tightly.
"I understand," she replied remorsefully.
"Please close your b.u.t.tons fast," he said, looking in the other direction.
Rose quickly b.u.t.toned her gown and moved her hand to hold Rhehan"s tight fist.
Rhehan quickly reb.u.t.ted her from doing so!
"Please don"t touch me! I am sorry but then I will not be able to control myself," he said as if in great pain.
"I am sorry you have to go through this because of me," she said, feeling guilty and unhappy with herself.
"It"s not your fault! I think i"ll go take a cold shower," he said and sprinted outside the room without waiting for Rose"s reply.
Rose glanced at the door sadly for a few seconds and thought of preparing a hot bath for herself. She needed to do a lot of thinking after all, regarding Stefen"s call.
Chapter 122 - Tonight!
Rhehan rushed inside his bathroom and switched on the shower, without even undressing himself. The cold droplets were now falling on his head and all the anger and frustration piled up inside his head, were waiting to errupt.
"Aghhhhhhhhhhhhh" he screamed in frustration.
He was frustrated with his hormones. He was frustrated at his body! Will he ever learn to love her without s.e.x? The moment he starts touching her, he gets crazzy for s.e.x! It"s been just one day. How will he spend 9 months?
Rhehan turned the faucet to the coldest temperature and removed his clothes one by one. The water had now turned ice cold and he was now standing completely naked under it. His body was s.h.i.+vering terribely, but it was helping him cool down a bit. His blood flow soon turned to normal and thus he adjusted the faucet to lukewarm temprature.
Soon, the pleasant droplets fell on his head and he started pondering over various aspects of his relation with Rose.
I can"t loose her at any condition! I will have to learn to control my hormones. I think, I should make an appointment with the doctor! Hopefully he will still treat me!
Also, I will tell everything truthfully to Rose about the malfunction. Even if she wants to leave me, it will serve me right. But she deserves to know the truth!
Suddenly the thought of Rose leaving him crossed his mind and tears started to form in his eyes again.
I have to do this! I have to be loyal to her. I shall control my hormones for her! Maybe she will forgive me.
Rhehan switched off the shower and cleaned himself thouroghly with the towel. He dressed himself in casual blue jeans and a black t-s.h.i.+rt and headed towards his office to complete the pending paper- work!
Tonight, I will tell her everything!
Chapter 123 - Beach house!
Rose quickly prepared herself a hot bubble bath and undressed herself with her left hand. Her mind was blogged with tremendous questions.
I don"t think Rhehan would do somthing like that! But then Stefen would also not lie to me! I completely trust Stefen!
She glanced at her naked reflection in the mirror. Her face looked pale and her hair were disheaveled completely.
She herself could not even recognize the lady in the mirror. Is this me? I look so bad!
She had blood patches on her right arm and thighs. Her left arm was already covered with bandages!
"I need to look good", she said to herself disgustingly in the mirror. "Afterall I am at my boyfriend"s place. How can I roam around looking so bad"? she scolded her own reflection.
She quickly picked up her phone from the bed and stepped inside the gigantic jacuzzi bathtub! The warm bubble bath had already relaxed her and she closed her eyes to ponder.
I am definitly missing out something! She recalled her entire converstation with Stefen. He says that Rhehan had tried to bribe one if the employees but the employee refused. He also said that Rhehan threatened to kill her. But if Rhehan wanted to destroy me, why would he take care of me? This is not making sense at all!
She immediately called up Stefen for further information.
"h.e.l.lo boss," he said pleasently.
"h.e.l.lo Stefen. I would like to know a few things from you," she said sweetly.
"Offcourse boss," he said straightening his back immediately. He was currently sitting in his office all alone, completing the dead lines.
"I am not asking you the name of the employee but when exactly did CEO threaten her?" She asked him suspiciously.
"Yesterday night boss! The employee was at CEO Rhehan"s beach house and she was badly a.s.saulted. She came running to my apartment since she was so petrified," he replied honestly.
"Hmmm...What time?" she asked.
"Around 8:00 pm because at around 9:00pm she had reached my place," he said calculating the approximate time Cheryl reached his place.
A wide smile emerged on Rose face and she hung up the call without muttering further a single word.
So she was threatened yesterday? Huh? I guess she doesn"t know that I was also present at the beach house with Rhehan. At 8:00pm we were running around in the house like kids! Maybe she did not expect Stefen to tell the exact timings?
Rose chuckled devilishly and closed her eyes trying to soothe her nerves from all the brain storming!
Chapter 124 - Ramp walk
Rose was still wracking her brains carefully!
So the employee is somebody who knows that I am close to Rhehan. Also, she is taking advantage of my complete trust over Stefen! Hmmm....Clever move! How can Stefen be so naive and gullible? I have to go and talk to him immediately.
Rose rushed out of the tub and took a quick hot shower.
As soon as she blow-dried her hair, she looked at her reflection in the mirror once again.
"Hmm...much better. Now if I can find something good to wear!" she murmered, moving towards the walk-in closet.
As soon as she glided the first door of the closet her eyes popped open in amazement. There were atleast a thousand dresses hung neatly inside it. She rummaged through the clothes and realised they all were the limited editions of the best international brands.
"Holy cow! I thought I had the best closet anybody could afford. Beats me!" she exclaimed in amazement.
She then glided the second door and was amazed to see numerous footwears placed neatly on the shelves.
"Wow! What collection! There must be around thousand footwears in here. Did he buy the entire market? The man sure knows how to pamper his girl." she exclaimed, checking out few shoes.
She glided the third door and saw various hand-bags and clutches, displayed on the shelves.
"So much shopping for just a few days of staying here? Is he actually going to keep me captive?" she giggled to herself.
She quickly selected an olive green chanel dress with matching black louboutines. Soon after getting dressed, she quickly went inside the dressing room. An enormous amount of makeup and jewellary were displayed on the wooden shelves, all across the gigantic dressing room. She quickly picked up an eye liner and lip balm and applied it on her-self.
"Thats all I want," she said and glanced at her final look. The short green dress fitted perfectly, showing her s.e.xy curves. Her face was slightly flushed due to hot water and her skin was radiating.
"Perfect," she smiled and left the room in a rush. She took the elevator leading straight to Rhehan"s office. The entire work-area was situated on the top-most three floors of the house.
The elevator soon opened inside a gigantic gla.s.s corridor, leading its way straight to Rhehan"s office. She did not expect so many people to be present inside.
"Wow! I always thought it"s just two of us and the staffin the house," she said in surprise.
Many people from the staff were starring at her in surprise, while she was looking at all of them in surprise! Soon she gathered herself up, trying to hide her surprise and walked straight to Rhehan"s office with a confident smile on her face. The staff sitting at the reception did not ask her any questions.
"Wow! This is the first time I have seen somebody else coming from that elevator. She must be somebody very close to CEO," they whispered.
"She is so pretty! Is she boss"s girlfriend?" came a whisper from the other corner.
"She came out from boss"s personal elevator. Are they in a live in?" said another man from staff.
The entire corridor was now silent, whispering about the beautiful lady in short green dress. Rose too was aware of the prying eyes and gossips, so she increased the speed of her footsteps.
"Wow! This looks like the toughest ramp walk ever. Why is this place so big? Had I known there would be so many people, I could have worn something more appropriate," she murmered to herself in disgust.
Soon she reached the wide wooden door of his office and opened it in excitement, without even knocking!

Chapter 126 - Strength!
"h.e.l.loooooo," she exclaimed in excitement and entered the door.
She stepped inside a gigantic office and noticed an empty boss chair right in front of her. The black wooden interiors of the room were simple yet very extrvagant. The walls were decorated with black and white paintings from different international artists.
"Wow! Everything is so...so....so black and white. Doesn"t he get bored here?" She said, looking around the room with pursed lips.
The room looked rather creepy to Rose. There was not a single hint of any color in it.
"I wonder if I could just add a few strokes of color and brightness in here," said the artist within her.
She was completely lost in creating a new layout and theme for the office, when suddenly she heard someone sobbing lightly within the room itself.
"Huh? Rhehan? Where are you?" she asked, perplexed looking around the room.
She looked and looked, but could not spot him anywhere. The sounds of someone sobbing could clearly be heard now and from the voice she knew, it was definitly Rhehan.
"Rhehan please tell me where you are," she requested, looking around carefully.
Soon, she followed the sobbing voices and realised it was coming from somewhere near the boss"s seat. She walked towards the seat but did not spot him anywhere, adding to her confusion.
As soon as she was about to turn towards the balcony"s door, she spotted many cans of beer under the ma.s.sive table. She bent down on her knees and saw Rhehan sitting crossed legged under the table. There were many beer cans placed before him and most of them were already empty. He had covered his face with his hands and was sobbing uncontrollably.
"Crybaby...ohhh...I mean Rhehan..what happened?" she asked him, perplexed.
Rhehan did not reply to her and eas sitting motionless.
Rose quickly kneeled down further and dragged herself under the table too. She opened a can of beer and took a sip with a wide smile.
"Cheers," she gleamed in excitement.
Rhehan quickly removed his hands from his face and starred at Rose in anger. His face was completely red and his eyes were extremely swollen.
"You are on anti-biotics. You are not supposed to have it," he said, holding the can in Rose"s hand.
"Ahh! Finally the crybaby has spoken," she giggled. She quickly placed down the can and spitted the beer in her mouth inside the can in disgust. "This is too bad anyways," she said wiping her mouth with her hands.
"You don"t drink beer?" he asked in surprise.
"No. Just red wine on few occasions. We have been instructed to not have alcohol and spoil our years of physical training. It makes you weak," she said looking at the beer cans in disgust.
"Hmm...But I need strength right now. I have to do something which I am really scared of," he said pressing his temples.
Tears were flowing from his eyes again.
"Why? What do you want to do?" she asked in curiosity, wiping the tears from his face lovingly.
"I want to confess," he said looking in her eyes.
Chapter 127 - I am a disgusting man!
Rose starred in his red teary eyes. She did not reply any thing in return. Probably because she could already make out what the confession was about.
"I have been trying to tell you this from a very long time, but I was scared. I was scared of loosing you! After you know everything, it is upto you what punishment you want to grant me. I am ready for everything," he said holding her hands lovingly. His face was hung low and tears were flowing down his eyes, rapidly.
"Ok," replied Rose in panic. She herself did not know what she would feel after hearing the truth from his mouth.
Rhehan took a deep breath and looked in her eyes again. I love her so much! I have to do this! She should know the truth. Don"t stop Rhehan! Just speak!
"That day when we had a fight just before I was attacked, I called up somebody from your staff. I bribed her and instructed her to destroy your career," he said with shame on his face.
Rose glanced at him wide eyed. So he actually did it? He wanted to harm me? He has some guts, confessing it to me.
" As soon as I had hung up that call, you saved my life and my perspective about you suddenly changed. Since you were injured, I totally forgot about the deal I had made with her. I remembered it when you were about to start the ramp walk in Lorraine fas.h.i.+on week," he said, trying to calm himself down.
He did not have the strength to hold her hands anymore. She must be hating me right now! I can"t look at her face. I don"t even deserve to hold her hand now! I have done something for which I can never be forgiven!
Rose was looking at his teary red face. She had a slight smile on her face and was thinking on a very different track! My crybaby! I am glad you told me all this. I know you hated me back then, even I did. It"s all in the past!
"I messaged her to cancel the deal but she had already hampered your dress. She told me your dress was going to fall anytime, so I rushed on the stage to save you. Trust me, I did not know she would do something so quickly! I did not know she would do something so immoral. Though, it was me who told her to destroy you, so I am the one at fault !" He said in between his sobbing.
The more he spoke, the more he was hating himself!
"I know you hate me now. I know I don"t deserve somebody like you. Even if you walk out of this relation right now, I will totally deserve it. I know, I should have told this to you much earlier. I also tried to hide it from you. I even messaged that woman to not tell you and gave her the amount, I promised and told her to keep her mouth shut. I am a disgusting man!" He said covering his face with his hands.
He was sobbing uncontrollably again. His hands were tightly gripping his entire face. I can"t see her walk away!
"You can walk out of this relation if you want," he said, still covering his eyes.
"I just want to tell you that I shall always love you. I will always wait for you to forgive me. I know I am a complicated man who is addicted to s.e.x! I always get scared of hurting you, when I make love to you. But at any point of life, if you feel like forgiving me, I promise, I will be there waiting for you with open arms," he said in a crocked voice.
Chapter 128 - Repayment
Rose could feel a huge lump in her throat. She glanced lovingly at Rhehan, who had still covered his face in fear.
She slowly placed her hands on his cold hands and pushed them aside from his face. She wiped his wet face, making Rhehan burst into tears again.
She quickly retraced back her hands from him in surprise.
"Look at me," she said lovingly at Rhehan who had hung his face in shame.
"I can"t," he croacked.
"You"ll have to," she said, pus.h.i.+ng up his chin, so as to straighten his face.
She had a bright smile on her face and she did not have even a single trace of hurt or sadness. This was not something which Rhehan had expected and thus he was now starring at her face in shock.
"Listen to me very carefully now. I had fallen for you the day you saved me and I am glad you love me so much, to confess everything," she said lovingly caressing his face.
Rhehan was dumb-founded at her words and was starring at her wide-eyed.
"Whatever happened back then was not your fault completely. It was obvious for anybody to react like that. What matters the most is how loyal we are to each other now. I know, you love me deeply. The way you take care of me, the way you pamper me is just too cute. I know you are trying your best to make this relation work ! Even if you feel uncomfortable physically, you never ever made me feel that I am the one lacking," she said with a sad smile.
"You are not lacking anything, it"s me who is a nut...." he murmered, but was inturrepted by Rose quickly.
"Shhhh...n.o.body talks bad about my boyfriend. Not even you," she said angrily.
Rhehan was stunned at her angry yet soothing words. Boyfriend? She isn"t breaking up with me? Are we still together?
"I love you too Rhehan and I am not going to walk away from this relation. I know things are a bit awkward considering our physical complications, but we can solve this together. I trust us completely!" she said holding his face lovingly.
Rhehan closed his eyes as if trying to absorb her words. Tears were streaming down his face and he was taking deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. After a few minutes, he finally mustered some strength to open his eyes.
"I love you too Rose. I can"t tell you how greatful I am," he said holding both her hands.
"Greatful? It"s ok you can repay me now if you are feeling so indebted," she said wickedly.
"Offcourse, tell me how?" he said with an innocent face.
Chapter 129 - Crybaby turns Devil
"Are you sure? You can"t back off Mr. Crybaby," teased Rose.
"Anything you say!" claimed Rhehan, now in high spirits. She thinks I am a crybaby? I can easily prove her wrong.
"Ok then! You asked for it. Limit your alcohol intake to only twice a week," she said in a dominating serious tone.
Rhehan gulped in nervousness. Twice a week? No s.e.x for nine months and now no alcohol? I thought maybe she wants a hug or a kiss! Shouldn"t she be asking for something romantic, since I was crying too much. Now I feel like crying again!
"Sure! No problem at all," replied Rhehan, forcing a smile on his face.
Rose looked at him suspiciously.
"So it"s a promise," she confirmed again.
No! No ! No! No! It"s a big NOOO gulped Rhehan in nervousness. This girl will kill me someday!
"Yes! Offcourse," replied Rhehan, shrugging his shoulders.
"Thank you so much!" she exclaimed in happiness and kissed his lips pa.s.sionately.
Rhehan kissed her too and held her waist tightly with both his hands.
On second thought, it"s totally worth it!
The two kissed each other pa.s.sionately, making Rhehan lie flat on the ground while Rose on top him with their lips locked.
The temperature under the table was rising tremendously when suddenly their was a loud knock on the door! The two love-birds regained their conciousness.
"Holy cow! The door is not locked," exclaimed Rose in regret.
"Holy cow! I have an urgent meeting!" he exclaimed in equal regret.
"I had to go to fabiosa urgently," she said slapping her forehead in disgust.
They quickly dragged themselves out from under the table and straightened each other"s clothes and hair.
"I"ll see you later," she said, giving a quick peck on his cheek and sprinting towards the door.
"I"ll miss you," he replied with a sad smile.
As soon as Rose was about to exit the office, she halted and turned back to look at Rhehan.
"I just forgot to ask you something. Who was this girl whom you tried to bribe?" asked Rose curiously.
Rhehan hesitated for a few seconds but finally replied ," Cheryl, the lead model."
"Ohh?" reacted Rose at the least expected name. "Did you ever meet her after fas.h.i.+on week?" she asked pondering over certain facts.
"No, we just chated over watsapp," he refused bluntly.
"She accused you of threatening her. She is too clever," she said angrily.
"What? But I have never even met....wait ...wait...you already knew about it?" he asked in surprise.
"Hmmm" she nodded in affirmation.
"Then why didn"t you question me?" he asked, completely puzzled.
"At first, I was obviously very angry thats why I banged my han....oops! I gotta go! Byeeeeee," she said biting her tongue, cursing herself in her mind.
"You banged your hand purposely?!" he exasperated.
"Bye," she said and rushed out of the door.
"Come back right here!!!" he shouted at her loudly.
Rose sprinted out of the office, but saw a large group of well-suited men, probably waiting for the door to open, now starring at her awkwardly.
"Come back here," shouted Rhehan again for everybody to hear.
Rose grinned awkwardly at the suited men and said, "Just a friendly fight," and sprinted ahead again, in fear.
Holy s.h.i.+t! The devil is after me!
Chapter 130 - What"s mine, is mine!
Rhehan sprinted to catch hold off Rose and hurridly stepped out of the office. As soon as he stepped out, he saw the suited men standing near the door starring at preceeding figure of Rose, who was walking rapidly across the corridor, towards the personal elevator.
They all turned back there faces, when they heard another quick footsteps emerging out of CEO"s office. They gaped at the vision before them. CEO Rhehan was standing before them, giving them the same awkward smile. The usually impeccabley dressed CEO was dressed in crumpled T-s.h.i.+rt and jeans. His face and eyes were completely swollen and red.
"Oh! Ahem! Please be seated inside. I"ll be back in five," he said and ran at his full speed to catch up with Rose.
The suited men stepped inside the office only to inhale a strong stench of alcohol all over.
Rhehan sprinted across the corridor and the entire staff present there stood up to see the sight. Some people approached him quickly, getting worried.
"Boss? What happened?" said one.
"Boss! Is everything ok?" asked the other.
It was then, he realised that he was looking too stupid running across the corridor, catching everybody"s attention.
He suddenly paused his steps and announced loudely "Everything is fine! You can get back to your work! Thank you," he said sprinting again.
Rose who just heard Rhehan"s voice turned her head backwards and saw Rhehan running in her direction at the speed of lightening.
"Oh s.h.i.+t!" she exclaimed in horror and started running too.
The office staff was perplexed at the sight.
"First our boss was running, now this girl is also running," said a lady.
"She is not just any girl. She is the famous designer Rose, the owner of Fabiosa," shrieked other girl.
"Oh my G.o.d! That"s why I was wondering where had I seen her," said another lady.
"Oh! I had recognized her as soon as she entered the office! I own so many dresses from Fabiosa," bragged another lady.
The entire office had by this time recognized Rose and was starring at her rapidly preceeding figure.
Rose quickly reached the elevator and hurriedly pressed the door b.u.t.ton.
"Finally," she heaved a sigh of relief.
As soon as the door opened and she was about to step inside, she was suddenly caught tightly by a strong arm, from her waist.
"Caught ya!" exclaimed Rhehan, victoriously.
Both his hands were now around her waist and he jerked her waist to make her turn, facing him directly.
Their faces were now just a few inches apart and they could feel each other"s breath. Rhehan took a step closer to her, while Rose took a step backwards in nervouseness. She tried to take one more step backwards, but soon realised she was already touching the now closed door of elevator.
Rhehan tightened the grip around her waist and pulled her even closer to him.
The entire office gasped at the series of events taking place before their eyes.
"So, she is actually boss"s girlfriend."
"Are they going to kiss?"
"So much for my two years of crush on boss."
"They look so much in love."
"Such a good looking pair."
Rose was intimidated by Rhehan"s closeness in public, whereas Rhehan was least bothered about it. He was constantly and pa.s.sionately looking in her eyes.
"Rhehan everybody is starring! Stop it Rhehan! Are you even listen.....," Rose was suddenly stopped midway by Rhehan"s quick peck on her lips.
She was stunned at his actions and was gapping at him in surprise. This was the first time she was feeling intimidated by him! A completely different and authoritative Rhehan!
"I don"t care about anybody"s prying eyes! What"s mine is mine! n.o.body hurts my girlfriend"s beautiful body, not even you," he said in a domineering tone.
Rose gulped at his pa.s.sionate yet domineering words.
"Ok," she said meekly.
"This is the last time you are hurting yourself. If you do it again, I will abduct you, then keep you captive in a secluded place. Trust me! n.o.body will be able to find you. Ok?" He asked, moving much closer to her lips.
"Wow...ohh....I....I.... mean..Ok," she stammered, feeling his cold breath on her wet lips.
She was confused if Rhehan was trying to warn her or rather seduce her!
"Good! Go now," he said giving a light peck on her cheek.
"See ya," she beamed happily at him and pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton.
As soon as Rhehan turned back and walked away a little further from her, Rose could not help but shout at the top of her lungs, before entering the elevator,
" I"ll miss you Rhehan !!!"
This was Rose"s way of telling him, that she too was ready to tell the world about them and she was now no longer intimidated by presence of any third person.
Rhehan paused his steps and chuckled happily, while turning himself to face her again. Rose was already inside the elevator and was waving michieviously at him. Rhehan was in splits of laughter and he waved back at her lovingly. Soon the door closed and Rhehan too turned away, walking towards his office.
All the people from office were now happily looking at Rhehan. They had never seen their boss laughing like this before!
