ROBERTO POV I can't seem to get her face out of my head. I know it is wrong because I'm a married man my wife is 3 months pregnant. But it is not my fault, my marriage is a forced one. I'm not saying I don't love Diane. I do. But not in that way. It was not my will that we should get married. It was my father. According to him I had to marry someone who knows the Importance of Being a mafia leader. At least my best friend Anderson has Rachel who he love with his whole heart. Surprisingly Rachel is also 3 months pregnant. But put all that aside Anderson is very happy with his married. Well I'm not with my own. Tomorrow we will be meeting for our fifth date and it feels like I've known her for ages .Rachel... a simple name yet so elegant looking. Only Anderson knows that I have been secretly seeing her. She doesn't know I'm a married man ofcourse and neither does she know about the mafia and I will like to keep it that way. I was brought out of my thoughts when I saw Diane walk through the door. I putted a smile on my face........ (Next day)ROSE POVI straighten my dress as I sat down in the cafe were Roberto is meant to pick me up. A smile magically comes on my face as I see him opening the door . I got up and he smiles when he sees me. He kisses me affectionately before we went out I t his car. ROBERTO POVAs I dropped her off at her house I drove to the baby store to collect the things I told Diane i was going to get. I loaded it in the the car .As I got home I was met by Diane who was so happy with the things I bought for her and forgot to ask me why I was so late. 5 Months laterROSE POVIt's been almost a year now since I've met Roberto and it has been fun. He asked me to be his girlfriend four months ago and ofcourse I said yes. Few weeks ago we bonded by getting intimate with each other and it was the best. Even tho we have been meeting less frequently but he explained that it was due to his work and I understand I can't interfere with his work. ROBERTO POVIt's been two months since Xander was born. It was a miracle that Rachel gave birth to due to some pain in the abdomen but altogether she is doing well now. I love my son so dearly but there is one thing that I love even more. Rose. I told her it was due to my "work" I'm not able to frequently spend time with her but the real reasons I have to be here with my son and wife. Yes,yes I know it is selfish to have asked her to be my girlfriend but I just couldn't help it . 6 months laterROBERTO POVIt's past a year now since I've been seeing Rose and its getting harder and harder to see both Rose and take care of Xander. But I try my best to atleast see her once a week. 4 months laterROSE POVI looked at the pregnancy test and all five said I was pregnant. I'm happy but I don't,know what Roberto will say.Todayvwe are meeting and I'm planning to tell him then.-------------I've been sitting in the cafe for the past four hours and still no sign of Roberto. I've tried his number but his not picking neither is he replying any of my text. I walked back home with tears in my eyes. ROBERTO POV(Eailer In the day)"Where are you going? "I was questioned by Mt father as I passed his office."To just buy a few things father " I said "Are you sure " he asked "Yes father " I answer. It was already 11:45 and I'm sopoussed to meet Rose at 12:00."Who is Rose? " my father asked. I stopped dead in my tracks . How did he know Rose? The only person I've told is Anderson and I know he will never betray me-then I saw my phone one his desk. "I ask again who is Rose?" He said "No one you should be concerned about father " I said. I don't know what I said that made my father angry he threw my phone which smashed against the wall. "No one I should be concerned about? Roberto you have a wife and a kid yet you are having an affair with another woman?"He shouted angrily "But father I love-" Before I can finish my sentence he said " Love,LOVE!!love has no place in the mafia . As long as I'm alive and well I will not see you have contact of any kind with that women have I made my self clear?" NARRATOR POVWhen three months into the pregnancy and Roberto did not show up, Rose was so broken. She was sacked from her job due to the pregnancy and was evicted since she could not pay her rent. She have been disowned by her parents who said u till she finds the father of the child they have nothing to do with her. Roberto on the other hand could not do any thing but obey his father. When the baby was born Rose named her Hades becauseof all thethings she went through in the processof the pregnancy. When Hades was two Rose relocated to another country to start a new life. She started a fashion company and by the time Hades was 8 Rose has become one of the most successful fashion women and model. Due to school Rose renamed Hades Rosè .When Rosè was 15 Rose decided to relocate back to where she came from. But due to her work she has to be leaving Rosè more than she likes so she was very glad when Rosè found layla and Parker as bestfriends and Hudson has her boyfriend. At least she will not be lonely if she travels. This is just the prologue bear with me.
