Elena shook her head.
“No why would I be?”
She said and looked at skyler.
“What happened to you?… Are you okay?”
She asked worriedly.
“It’s fine, it’s a small injury… Call doctor for me…”
He replied.
“Rosa let’s go…”
He said and walked away.
Rosetta followed him but stopped by Elena.
“Yacht caught fire, Elena…”
She looked at her threateningly.
“If I learn that it was your doing then you will curse the day you born…”
Elena looked at her nervously and Rosetta walked away.
Doctor came shortly and treated Skyler’s wound.
“It’s not that deep Mr. King… You will be fine in few day…”
He informed and left.
Rosetta sighed in relief. She was worried that it might get infected due to sea water and leaving it untreated overnight.
“Come here”
Skyler said snapping her out of her world.
“Why?”
She frowned.
“Just come”
He sighed.
Rosetta walked towards him and stood there at the corner of the bed.
“What?”
She asked.
Skyler grabbed her arm and pulled making her fall on the bed. Rosetta gasped when she fell down. Skyler placed his head on her stomach and wrapped his arms around her waist.
“Skyler what are you doing?”
She questioned, he was behaving like a kid.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Let’s sleep like this for a moment… I am tired”
He mumbled.
“Are you feeling weak?… Did you take medicines”
She asked.
“Yeah…”
He snuggled closer to her.
Rosetta slide her hands in his hair while caressing it and closed her eyes. She was also tired after eventful night.
Elena was silently watching them from the slightly open door but she was boiling in anger. It was very hard for her to see skyler with someone else. She glared at Rosetta and walked away.
Rosetta closed her eyes but her mind drifted towards the Masked man and his confession. It was hard to believe him. What if it’s all made up? What if he has hidden Motive? What if he is trying to fool her? How he knows everything about her personal life? About her and skyler’s relationship, about Vlad and agreement.
He must be someone who is around her, who is secretly watching her.
She believes that he is around her. She started thinking about the possibilities. Who is he? There are only few men those who are excellent in martial arts.
Her brothers, but they aren’t skilled like him.
Max and Roy, but why would they do it. And their physical appearance doesn’t match with him. He is tall.
Her father and father in law, but it would be ridiculous to think like this about them.
Jackson, he is professional killer. He is skilled. But why would he do it. He has no reason. But again he is the only one who knows about Vlad and agreement. Even after all the possibilities Rosetta doubt that he would do something like this. He is like her father.
Then remained only one man, Skyler. Skyler is tall and muscular like him. Their height is almost same.
Rosetta’s eyes snapped open thinking about the possibility.
“Skyler?”
She mumbled looking at his sleeping form.
She shook her head in disbelief.
‘No it can’t be… He can’t be that man, it’s impossible… He has black eyes and Skyler has grey, but what about lenses. Skyler’s voice is too thik and dark for it… Even if he is that man then why would he do it. I don’t think he has reason… He was injured and I punched him last night at the same spot, he didn’t even flinched… It’s definitely not Skyler… He wouldn’t have been sleeping there, it’s impossible to change appearance in short time… And there wasn’t any footprints on the dusty floor so there wasn’t any movements in the room.’
She tried hard to make herself believe that it can’t be Skyler.
‘but he that man always comes when skyler is around… First office building and now Island…’
Rosetta decided to make sure of it.
She gently removed his head from her stomach and got up. She went to closet and checked his luggage to see if she can find something related to martial arts but nothing was there. Not even knife.
‘what are you thinking Rosetta… It can’t be him… If Skyler knows Martial arts then I would have known… And he was injured he can’t be that man…’
She sighed at her stupidity.
Still she wanted to make sure. She took thin thread, almost invisible to eyes and tied it to furniture in the room. She wanted to see if he can trip or not. Skills that Masked man had are incredible and he won’t fall, she decided to test him.
If Skyler fell then he doesn’t have that extraordinary ninja skills. If he survived then there is possibility that he is the one.
It wasn’t normal trap which kids do to play prank, it was difficult than that which her mother taught her to trap her enemy.
After setting the trap She walked out in the garden just to see Elena there.
“You were with skyler since childhood… Is he interested in martial arts?… Did he ever joined karate or something like that…”
Rosetta asked.
Elena looked at her and rolled her eyes.
“He is not interested in that kind of things… Skyler is a wild man, he would do street fight rather than playing disciplined martial arts… He likes savage fight… He never joined something like that… Educate yourself about him…”
She scoffed and Rosetta ignored her cocky comment.
‘i am paranoid by that man… Thinking about stupid stuff…’
She walked back to her room just to hear loud curse.
Her eyes widened and she ran towards her room. She closed her eyes guiltily.
Skyler was on the floor, tangled in thread like cacoon.
“What the fuck is this?”
He growled annoyingly while struggling to get out. The way he was struggling shows that he has no idea how to get out of it.
“Wait Skyler, don’t struggle… Thread will cut your skin..”
She said walking towards him.
“Would you get it off of me?… What the fuck is this Rosa?”
He said annoyingly, he seriously seemed angry.
“Actually I was practising about some tricks… And forgot to take it off, I am so sorry… I didn’t know that this will happen…”
She apologized.
“Take it off”
He growled angrily.
Rosetta removed the thread and looked guiltily at him.
“I am sorry…”
“Sorry?… Is this a place to practice that shit. It was ridiculous… I didn’t expect this from you Rosa… You can’t be so irresponsible.”
He said with greeted jaw.
Rosetta sighed.
“I am sorry okay… I am really sorry… Tell me how I should I make it… I know it was very irresponsible of me..”
She held his hand which got small thread cut.
Skyler Smirked. He was really angry, he woke up from his sweet sleep just to find out that his wife is not beside him. He lazily woke up to look for her but then suddenly his legs tangled with thread and he fell on the floor taking him offguard, he was fumming in anger but he can’t be angry with his lovely wife. The way she was apologizing was very cute of her.
“Do whatever you want?… Make me forgive you…”
He challenged.
Rosetta raised her eyebrows at his demand.
“How?”
“If I tell you everything then what’s the fun…”
He Smirked.
“Think about it… I’ll wait…”
He tapped on her nose teasingly and walked away.
Rosetta shrugged with confused face.
“What he wants me to do?…”
She sighed and went to washroom to take shower.
After coming back from the island they both haven’t showered. Her body was sticky so decided to take relaxing bubble bath.
She released her hair from french braid and stripped. Sigh of relief released from her mouth when her body sunk in the warm water.
She washed her body with scented body wash and laid back relaxing in the water.
‘how stupid I was to think that skyler is Masked man… I shouldn’t have doubt him. He is already injured and I did that to him…’
She opened her eyes when her phone vibrated. She has placed it on the counter which was at little distance, she decided to ignore it. If it’s Vlad then she doesn’t want to spoil her good time.
“You should attend your calls”
She heard skyler’s voice and gasped looking at him.
“What are you doing here?”
She asked frowning. He was only in towel and was looking hot with tan body.
“Door was open…”
He Smirked looking at her. He could see blush on her face after all she is naked under the water but he can’t see anything, there are lot of foam. He knew that she is inside still he came just to tease her, he wasn’t going to do anything more than that.
He is going to respect his words, he promised that he won’t touch her without her consent.
Rosetta looked at her phone and then at skyler. If he received it for her then he will know everything and she doesn’t want it.
But to her bad luck it vibrated again and Skyler grabbed the phone.
“Who the fuck is disturbing my wife?”
He said teasingly looking at her.
“It’s unknown number…”
He said and Rosetta’s heart skipped a beat.
“I’ll put it on speaker, you can talk… Otherwise It will get wet…”
He suggested.
He received the call and put it on speaker but he heard movements in water and his eyes snapped towards her.
“Let it be…”
She said looking at him.
Phone slipped from his hand when he saw the scene in front of him.
