Damian's rose

Authors pov

Damian's cheeks were stinging in pain by the hard slaps he received from his newly wed wife. She slapped him so hard that her own hands started stinging. But even after she hit him he didn't felt angry, he knew he deserved this because she was going through worst than this.

"How dare you?..."

She banged her fists on his chest furiously but tears kept rolling down from her cheeks.

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

Damian grabbed her hands in his and jerked her making her look at him.

"Because I wanted to protect you baby. I know you are angry and you should be but I don't regret whatever I did. The only thing I am regretting is it made you suffer, I didn't thought that it will hurt you this much..."

He confessed and she looked at him in disbelief.

"Hurt?... It was killing me from inside, you won't understand it..."

She spat madly.

Damian sighed and tried to hug her but she didn't let him.

"Rose I am sorry, please forgive me..."

He pleaded.

"You drugged me to get married..."

She accused.

"Because I had no other way. I didn't had time to tell you everything..."

He defended himself.

"You could have told me before..."

She replied wiping her tears, her head was already hammering due to the drug and those unbearable emotions were adding fuel to it.

"Yes I could have, if you would have told me that you are bella. How can you just give your place to someone else..."

He frowned.

"Because I didn't knew the truth okay, don't blame me for whatever my family did to us..."

She glared.

"I thought you loved isabella..."

Damian sighed and grabbed her arm to pull her closer. He had never seen rose this mad, like her inner self has broke down all those cages in which she used to bottle up her emotions. He always wanted to see her full of emotions but now he was regretting wishing for that because it was hard to control her.

"I didn't loved isabella rose, neither I loved Arabella. They are just names. I loved the girl who was behind it, the girl who was strong and brave, the girl who grabbed my attention by her angelic behaviour. Names never mattered to me because I was attracted to the personality. The first time fell in love was with bella and second time was with rose, you know why... Because the personalities were same..."

He said softly and she listened to him carefully.

"You think I was in love with your beautiful face?... No I wasn't rose, I have seen many beautiful girls. I have been with many but never loved them because personality matters more than beauty. I love you rose, I love how you stand up for people you love, I love how you show that you don't care about anyone but you, I love how you subtly help people without them even realizing it . So it doesn't matter that you had a twin because I don't care, you are the only one for me baby..."

He looked at her wet eyes and carefully stroked her cheek while rose closed her eyes and tried to control her shaky breathing. Damian caressed her head and pulled her in a hug, rose wrapped her hands around him tired from all this drama and hugged him back.

"I am sorry for making you cry baby, I am so sorry..."

He apologized again and again.

"I hate you..."

She replied snuggling in his chest which made him chuckle.

"I love you too..."

He replied kissing his forehead.

"Who told you I love you..."

She complained.

"You..."

He said and she looked at him breaking the hug.

"Me, when?..."

She asked confused.

He chuckled and trailed his fingers on her neck which had a hickey from last night. She cocked her face and looked at herself in the mirror. She was in so much hurry in the morning that she didn't noticed the red marks on her neck.

Her mouth hung open and she looked at him with wide eyes.

"It was not a dream..."

She face palmed herself embarrassed as she remembered how desperate she was behaving.

Damian chuckled and removed her hands away from her face.
