Damian's rose novel Chapter 62

Authors pov

One day before the marriage... (Continue...)

Vincent looked at him and chuckled.

"I used you... She was turning her back on me but when I said your name she turned around with lightning speed, the way her eyes sparkled after listening your name was enough to tell me that she still remembers you and cares about you. That she still loves you.

I told her that you were getting constantly attacked and your life was in danger. On the outside she acted like she didn't cared but her eyes told otherwise.

'I know how to protect my dami Mr. Blackwood and I will. I don't have to go in front of him or be with him to protect him. I have another ways to do that ' was her exact words, no matter how coldly she said that but the care and love she had for you was clearly visible in her words.

Haven't you realised that... after that you never got attacked..."

Vincent asked and damian nodded.

"Yes, I didn't... Everything was peaceful after that until Roy attacked me again..."

Damian confessed.

"Yes you didn't got attacked because Arabella never let anyone come near you. She was silently protecting you staying in the shadows. She was keeping close eye on you and your surroundings and specially on your rivals, she killed everyone who ever dared to harm you..."

Vincent confirmed and damian looked at him stunned.

He never thought that this story has it's another side too. His rose had been protecting him from the beginning and he was totally unaware of that.

"Why didn't you tell me?..."

He asked frowning.

"Because I thought she will come out on her own. But then again I found out that it was Roy who was conspiring against you. As soon as I learned that I tried to contact you but Simon received it. I told Simon everything and ordered him too inform you. I even left emails and messages for you. I was going to inform Arabella about it too but before I did, Roy shot me. He left me there thinking I am dead but I was lucky enough to survive..."

Vincent told him and damian sighed.

"Arabella came uncle but she didn't tell me anything, she didn't behaved like my Arabella anymore... She was Rose R agency's topmost assasin, cold and strict. But I am still in love with her, I love her and I don't care if she is my bella or not... I only know one thing that she is mine, she is my life..."

Damian said making Vincent smile brightly.

"She was always yours damian..."

Vincent patted his back.

"Then why didn't she tell me anything... Isabella was claiming that she was bella and rose didn't even uttered a word in front of her... Why?..."

He asked frustratingly.

Stella broke her silence this time and explained everything.

"Because she thought that isabella was with you before her. Vincent has replaced her with isabella, he gave her Isabella's identity and it was printed on her mind that she was living Isabella's life. She thought that everything she was doing or everything she has belonged to isabella... Even you damian... Even now she thought that when she was gone you were with isabella. She has no idea that you had only spend one year with bella and it was only her. Isabella was nowhere in the story ever..."

"Why would she think that I was with isabella after she was gone?..."

Damian questioned.

"Because I thought she is isabella, isabella escaped from us months before we came to you. She tried to kill me many times and I was terrified by her. Vincent was the only person who could control her but that time no one was there as he was in coma. When I saw rose in your house I thought it's isabella who was disguised as rose and came to you. But then I realised that she is Arabella when she got scared by those berries because Arabella had trypophobia. I never thought that the daughter I lost will come in front of me like that..."

Stella replied wiping her tears.

"Are you sure you lost her?..."

Damian mocked and Vincent looked at him confused.

"What do you mean damian...?"

Vincent frowned and Stella shook in fear.

"She didn't lost Arabella uncle, she abandoned her to save herself and lied to everyone that Arabella is dead so she won't face your wrath. This was the only reason why rose was not ready to come home with you, because she hates her. Rose didn't forgot how Stella abandoned her and somewhere she feels that you are responsible for it too... She thinks that no one loved her..."

Damian told him everything about Stella's doings and Vincent looked at her in disbelief.

His heart clenched in pain, he couldn't believe that his wife did this to her own blood.

"How dare you?..."

Vincent growled and Stella flinched in her place.
