SWNOVELS Chapter 33: 33) why ?
Authors pov
Rose woke up early in the morning and saw Damian sleeping peacefully so she didn't disturbed him and walked out of his room after wearing her clothes.
She finished her workout and peaked inside his room, he was not in the bed so she quickly walked towards her room. She decided to avoid him as much as possible because she knew that he will definitely take his revenge sooner or later.
Getting ready she walked towards the dinning hall and today she herself sat beside Ashton.
Everyone greeted Damian when he walked in and sat on his chair. He seemed deadly serious and anyone could tell from his face that he is ready to kill anyone at this moment. Rose noticed it and cursed herself for doing that to him.
"Hey we have a party today, right..."
Olivia chirped in excitement.
"Yes, it's uncle Alexander's birthday... So yeah..."
Jasmine replied.
"Amazing, I am so excited for it..."
Lilly said excitingly...
"Yeah and I hope, you guys have partners for yourself because that's the theme of the party, so no partner, no entry..."
Daniel said biting on his apple...
"Yes, I do have a partner..."
Olivia said pointing towards Damian and everyone looked at her and Rose confused. Rose didn't paid attention to anyone and kept eating her breakfast. She was sure that Damian will definitely do something to make her regret last night and she didn't wanted to give him any satisfaction by reacting to it.
"You? But we thought Damian will come with Rose..."
Joseph said confused.
"Why would I go with Rose, she is my bodyguard and she will do her job... Olivia be ready on time."
He said in his bossy tone and left the dinning hall.
"Man, what's wrong with him..."
Daniel asked frowning.
*****
The whole day Damian didn't talked to Rose, neither did he called her for anything.
He got ready for the party and walked outside. Rose and Ashton were talking about the security measures standing in the corridor. He looked at Rose and she was wearing her black bodyguard suit and a black Bluetooth was attached to her ear.
"Ohh my god, how did you manage to look handsome all the time..."
Olivia said flirtatiously and walked towards him.
Rose and Ashton looked at her when they heard her. Olivia was wearing a beautiful white gown which was hugging her curves perfectly, her make-up was on point making her features look more angelic. Damian kissed her cheeks glancing at Rose and rose quickly averted her eyes when she saw him kissing her cheeks and he smirked.
"You are looking marvellous..."
He complimented her and they both walked downstairs.
Rose's heart filled with jealousy when she saw him grabbing her waist like he used to do with her, she ignored her feelings and decided to focus on her work.
Natasha was present in the party too and she started boiling in anger when she saw Olivia clinging to Damian.
"I thought you stopped stealing other person's men, Olivia..."
Olivia turned towards the bitchy voice and scoffed when she saw Natasha standing in front of her.
Damian rolled his eyes and excused himself from the ladies not wanting to witness their cat fight.
"Look who is talking, it looks like you are talking about yourself Natasha..."
Olivia mocked back.
"Listen bitch, stay away from Damian... He is mine..."
Natasha threatened her and she started laughing...
"When will you understand you stupid girl, he is not yours so shut the fuck up and get out..."
Olivia looked at her disgustingly.
"Ohh and I heard you even got your nose broken, well I can't say I am surprised, you are stupid enough to do that..."
Natasha looked at her in pure anger, Olivia gave her a mocking smile and walked away from her.
Damian sat on the counter and looked at the Rose who was standing with the other guards, solely focus on her work. Her eyes and mind were only focused on her surroundings, her suspicious eyes capturing the movements of every guest.
He almost crushed the glass in his fist frustratingly...
"What the fuck is wrong with this girl ?... I thought she left me because she was scared of Renzo, that's why I brought her here, away from him. Still she is not ready to accept me, she fucking used pressure point shit on me yesterday, if someone else would have done it then he would have been six feet under the ground till now... I can't understand the fucking reason behind her behaviour..."
He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't realised how long he was staring at her, and she was staring at him trying to read his face but couldn't.
She thought he will scold her, punish her or take out all his anger on her but he didn't even talked to her since morning and it was making her anxious, silent Damian wasn't setting well with her heart. Damian came out of his daze when he felt soft hand on his shoulder. He looked at the direction and it was Olivia.
Olivia slowly brought her lips near to his ears and whispered something, Rose looked at Olivia and how seductively she was talking and touching Damian. Her hands were around his neck and she was almost all over his body.
Rose's started burning in jealousy when Damian grabbed her waist and they walked towards the dance floor. Rose quickly composed her face and kept it straight not wanting to show anyone how jealous she was feeling. She wanted to leave this party and leave Damian alone with that girl but to her bad luck she was his bodyguard and keeping an eye on him all the time was her duty. She controlled her emotions and carried on doing her work.
Damian looked at her to judge her expressions but he only saw a blank look on her face, he gritted his jaw and closed his eyes in frustration.
He removed Olivia's hands from his neck and she looked at him questioningly.
"It won't work, Olivia... Rose is not like other girls, Look at her she is not even cocking her eyebrows, then being jealous is out of the chapter..." He shook his head disappointingly...
"No, Damian it will work and it's working, she is just trying to act tough... Trust me it will work, keep dancing..."
She tried to convince him but he didn't listened and walked away from her towards the bar, which made Olivia scowl...
Rose saw Damian walking away from her and internally relaxed, she looked at his sulking face and quickly averted her eyes when he caught her staring at him.
"Are you working as a guard here, beautiful..."
Rose heard a man's voice and turned towards the man who was standing there with drink in his hand, his other hand was in his pocket and his smirk gave a creepy vibe to Rose. He checked her up and down with his lusty black eyes and stopped on her face.
"I am Damian knight's personal bodyguard..."
She replied in monotone trying to avoid any kind of informal conversation with the stranger.
"Ohh, I see... By the way I am Liam, Mr. Knight's old friend and business partner..."
He held his hand infront of her for handshake but Ashton interrupted him.
"Mr. Liam it's nice to see you after so long, I hope you are enjoying the party."
He said in a fake friendly tone and turned towards Rose.
"Rose I think you should check the security of west wing, we might have some problem there."
He said cocking his eyebrow and Rose understood, she nodded at him and left from there. Ashton was well aware of Liam's wicked intensions. He has witnessed his dirty doings in other parties he had attended with Damian, so when he saw him trying to approach Rose, he butted in.
Liam looked at Ashton with piercing gaze and walked away from him ignoring his fake greetings.
Jack saw Damian sitting near the bar with an irritated face and walked towards him.
"What's up man, where is your beautiful partner..."
He said tapping on his shoulder, Damian looked at him for a second and bit his lips to suppress a laugh.
Jack's face was full of makeup. Lilly tried her best to hide his bruised and swollen face behind makeup and she somewhat succeeded but jack was looking like a cartoon with all the foundation plastered on his face.
"Don't laugh at me like that man, you have no idea from what I am going through..."
He said sulking...
"Then learn to keep your fucking mouth in control..."
Damian chuckled at his condition.
"Hello Mr. Knight..."
Damian looked at the direction of the voice, it was Liam...
"Hii, Liam..."
Damian greeted back.
"What happened to your face jack, did you got into an accident..."
Liam narrowed his eyes at Jack's bruised face.
"Yeah, I mocked an angry tigress and she did this to me..."
Jack replied sarcastically..
"Angry tigress, that's tempting..."
Liam let out small chuckle.
"By the way, I must say Mr. Knight you have never failed to surround yourself by stunning beauties..."
Damian raised his eyebrows at his perverted tone.
"Who caught your attention this time, Liam..."
Jack asked shaking his head disapprovingly...
"Well, I can't help but admire your bodyguard Mr. Knight, even in her suit her beauty is making all the ladies dull in front of her, she is so fucking hot..."
Damian's grip tightened on his glass and jack choked on his drink.
'Farewell Liam, may God bless your soul with peace...'
Jack mumbled and placed his glass back on the counter silently, he slowly turned around walking away from them to a safe distance.
"I can only imagine how she will look without that suit..."
Damian looked at Liam with a murderous glare and saw him checking out Rose who was busy talking with Ashton. The lust in his eyes made Damian burn in anger, he gripped on his glass tightly and smashed on his face.
"You fucking bastard how dare you look at her with your filthy eyes..."
Damian growled loudly and everyone's eyes snapped towards them.
Many women screamed and gasped looking at Liam's ruined face. Rose and Ashton rushed towards the scene.
Damian grabbed Liam's collar and threw punches on his bloody face continuously, ignoring his own bloody hand which got injured while smashing the glass on his face.
No one dared to Stop Damian even Alexander was standing quietly in the corner watching his son beat the man brutally.
Liam's bodyguard came running towards the scene but halted in his place when he saw Rose standing behind Damian like a shield, daring him with her cold grey eyes to touch Damian. His bodyguard stepped back as he was from the same agency as her and was well aware of what Rose can do. He placed his gun back in his waistband to save his own life.
"I a..am s...sorry, please forgive m..me..."
Liam begged coughing blood.
Damian stopped punching him and threw him on the floor.
Ashton saw Damian letting him go and stepped ahead.
"Boss he tried to touch senior Rose inappropriately..."
Rose looked at Ashton in disbelief hearing his fluent lie, Liam didn't touched her then why Ashton was lying, she thought and looked between him and Damian confused.
Ashton's words were enough to make Damian's beast come out.
"Take him to the basement..."
He ordered his men and they dragged Liam in the basement. Ashton smirked evilly when he saw Liam begging for his life.
Rose looked at Damian's angry state and she has never seen him this angry. His bloodshot red eye was enough to make anyone piss in their pants.
She wanted to go to him but she couldn't muster up the courage, he looked too dangerous.
Damian left the party and everyone continued enjoying it like they didn't saw the man getting beaten few minutes ago.
Damian entered his room and took of his shirt almost ripping it in the process. His nostrils were flaring with anger and his vision only saw red.
He heard the knock and looked at the door with a murderous glare ready to kill the whoever entered.
Rose opened the door and entered in his room with a first aid kit. She saw him glaring at her angrily but ignored it and hesitantly walked towards him.
With much courage she stood in front of the angry Damian...
"Boss..."
Before she did anything he snatched the box from her hand and threw it on the wall making all things scatter on the floor..
Damian grabbed her throat and slammed her against the wall, his grip was not tight enough to hurt her but it was definitely threatening.
She grabbed his hand which was squeezing her neck and tried to free herself.
"You think I am a fucking fool, why are you playing games with me..."
He spat angrily and she looked at him with wide eyes.
"I am fucking tired of your games, why are you behaving like this, can't you see how much I..."
He clenched his jaw and let her neck go turning his back on her without completing his sentence.
She rubbed her neck gently to lessen the burning sensation in her throat, coughing slightly.
"I don't know what I am doing wrong..."
She replied coldly...
"Who am I to you Rose ?"
He sounded dangerously calm but she knew he is anything but that.
"You are my boss..."
She replied with no hesitation.
"Boss..."
He let out a mocking chuckle...
"No one protects their boss with their life, no one stands in front their boss like a shield when their working period is done"
He turned towards her and then she noticed his glossy eyes.
"Why are you acting like you don't care Rose, I know you were there with me that night, it wasn't a dream, you came for me, to take care of me... You didn't came there because Lilly and Ashton called you, you
came for me, to protect me... You do care rose, I know you do"
His voice broke and she looked down guiltily...
"I don't know what you are talking about..."
She didn't dared to look in his eyes.
"That night you were in my room, you were sleeping with me holding me in your arms, and don't you dare lie to me Rose, I have proof...
I found your hair on my shoulder in the morning, you escaped perfectly leaving me in illusion..."
She kept quiet keeping her head down....
"Now tell me why you are behaving like this, why you are hurting me with your coldness..."
Before he finished his sentence she cut him between...
"I am hurting you?... why is my behaviour hurting you when I am just a slave to you, you never cared about anything, you were just satisfying your ego... I was just a cha..."
They got interrupted by the loud knock on the door....
"Boss, we have a problem... Liam's brother is here..."
Ashton informed him...
"We are not done yet..."
Damian pointed his index finger at Rose while stating in his rude tone.
He left with Ashton to solve the matter with Liam's brother leaving Rose alone in his room and she threw her head back groaning in frustration.☐☐☐
