CHAPTER THREE: Decision
ROSA POV
“Bang!”.
The sound of Bianca's heavy fall echoed.
My legs trembled as I watched as she lay lifeless
Immediately, Dominic rushed in quickly to the bathroom,his eyes darted with rage.
“What have you done Rosa!”,he said, lifting her up as she carried her across the bathroom to the bed.
“Can I get an answer!”,he yelled again, this time loud and harsh.
“I did nothing Dominic, believe me,she tried to kill me," I said defensively.
He called out to his boys to inform the doctor about the incident.
Immediately,he dragged me away,my feet crashing against the tiles.
“If anything happens to my child, Rosa, I will kill you,”he said angrily.
“I didn't mean to hurt Bianca!”I screamed loudly.
I pleaded for him to hear me out but he paid deaf ears.
Then he pushed the door of the torture room and pushed me inside,there I fell,my back hitting so hard on the ground.
My gaze fell on the stern face of Dominic.
My mind raced as he slammed the door behind and locked it.
The realization of disregarding humiliation sank down my mind.
Memories of Dominic's past behavior flooded my thoughts.
I remembered how he would return from his rival group, his anger and frustration boiling over, and take it out on me.
He would use me as a punching bag, and I would endure it, blinded by my love for him.
But now, seeing how he didn't even want to listen to me, made me realize that he had never truly loved me.
The memories of him apologizing with flowers after his maltreatment on me now seemed manipulating.
I pulled out my phone and dialed my mom's number.
"Mom, I need you to call the lawyer. I want to start processing the divorce papers," I said, my voice low and firm.
“I would come back home as soon as possible,”I added.
Hearing that,my mom's voice filled with joy.
Ever since my departure,she had been so worried about my well being with Dominic.
Each time she asked about my marriage,I would lie and cover up for him.
“Mom, my marriage is perfect, Dominic is the perfect man for me,”I would say.
But deep down I knew I wasn't satisfied with my marriage,I just couldn't stop loving him.
But now my mind is made up,my love for him is gone.
Mom broke the long silence as she said excitedly.
“Dominic's contracts with the vitellin group had been terminated ,I guess he would come crawling back to you when he goes broke," she said.
“Ready to reveal your identity to him”,she added sharply
My grip tightened on the phone,as I sighed loudly,
“No Mom, I'm not ready to reveal my identity to him not now either,”I voiced out.
Just as I finished answering the call, I heard the door open.
Dominic walked in, Bianca by his side. Her hand was wrapped around his arm.
I was stunned in silence as I realized Bianca acted it up.
She smirked as she let off a sly grin.
“Honey,release her,she did that out of jealousy,You can see I'm fine now”,
She said,her gaze stern towards me.
Dominic released Bianca's hand, and walked closer to me,his gaze locked onto mine.
“Thank your God nothing happened to my wife and child,I would have sent you to hell”,he growled.
“She acted it up, trust me,she tried to kill me”.I replied defensively.
“Shut it Rosa,you liar,your days are numbered, you have no business with me anymore,” Dominic snapped quickly.
I clenched my fist,my face reddened with rage.
Hearing Dominics voice now doesn't just irritate me but makes me hate him more.
I hissed loudly, “fine Dominic if that's what you want,the divorce letter is being processed,I would sign it and send it to you”.
With that, Dominic turned his face away from me,as he stared at Bianca.
Immediately, Bianca took a step forward,her eyes flashed with anger, her fist clenched hard.
“What do you think about yourself Rosa”.
Her voice harsh and loud
"You're nothing but a poor slut,Why don't you just crawl back to whatever hole you came from and leave us alone?”
Bianca's words cut deep, but I stood my ground, refusing to be beaten by her words.
My desperation to win Dominics love made me track his every move and make myself available for him that night at the bar.
I guess he never fell for my greenlight but the fact I'm always available for him
“I'm no slut! I just fell foolishly in love with Dominic,”I murmured silently as hot tears streamed down my eyes.
“Don't fall for her pretentious attitude honey”,Bianca said sharply as she wrapped her hand tight on Dominic's arm, her gaze fixed on me.
Immediately,I strode slowly away from the both of them but Dominic was so quick to grab me back.
His grip tightened on my arms.
“Marco's family is having a family party tonight and you will be there,it's not a request",his voice commanded.
For a moment,I stood in silence.
Marco's family!.
Dominic's family.
My mind flashed back to the countless times I had been humiliated by Dominic's family.His parents who never accepted would be there.
My gaze locked on Dominic,I guess he knew the reason for my change in facial expression.
Immediately he left and Bianca followed him from behind as she smirked.
As they left,my mind raced to which decision I would make.
Attend the party and face Dominic's parents once again? Or resist Dominic's command and go to my parents.
