Recap: Rose meets Lily and she's extremely upset with the way she behaves with Alexander by getting all touchy with him in front of her. She gets infuriated when she sees that he doesn't make any advances to stop her. She stops him from reasoning his actions and walks away. Alexander then calls Mr. Vladimir wanting to meet him. Rose finds Jade all bruised and wounded when she gets back from her house. Rose is surprised and questions her state. Jade denies to answer her questions and lashes her with harsh words and Rose is taken aback by her weird behavior. The next day she asks her to accompany her to the church and even there, she remains aloof and carried a different behavior altogether. Rose lets it go and assures her that she will always be there for her. When they get back home, Mr. Vladimir is waiting for Rose and they have a small talk regarding Lily. Before he goes, Vladimir asks Rose to fight for whatever she wants and also tells her that Lilly is not the woman she has thought her to be, and this confuses Rose.

I just realized that I am bad at writing Recaps but I really hope this helps. Now, the story...

That night, Rose twisted and turned on her bed unable to sleep because a certain someone plagued each and every cell in her brain. Every day and night was hard for her without Alexander by her side. She wanted to stay away from him but wanted him at the same time. Understanding the fact that she needed some time and space for her, he never made an attempt to come near her and gave her what she needed before she was mentally ready to listen to what he wanted to say. She used to exchange glances with Alexander on few instances but always maintained her distance from the man. She used to get out of her room only after he left the house and used to get back into her room even before he returned. How long would she be able to push him away? How long would she able to act as if he never existed? In addition to this, it had been two days since she spoke to Vladimir and his words still seemed to be a mystery to her. Every day since that evening, she kept thinking about what he meant by the words he spoke. But that one person that affected her entire existence was him. Alexander Hunter. And it was the same with Alexander. He never showed her how much he wanted to smash her body against his and feel her existence by feeling each and every inch of her. But he knew, that this time, he had to take it slow by giving her the time she demanded. But he would decide the time she could take, because he was an impatient man who had waited too long for what he loved, worshiped and craved for years.

When the thoughts started clouding her mind making it difficult for her even to close her eyes, she immediately got up and switched on the lights of her room. She rubbed her face with her hands and looked at the clock which showed 1 a.m. She sighed and turned towards the bedside table to drink water but only found an empty jar.

"How could I forget?" she said to herself with irritation and got down from her bed. She took the jar with her and walked towards her door and opened it as she stepped into the corridor. The passage was silent. She turned to look at Alexander's room but there was no light seeping from the bottom of the door. Somewhere deep down her heart she wanted Alexander to open his door and come out to her. She just wanted to look at him. He had this strong hold on her sense even in his absence.

"Why would he even be awake?" she whispered, and felt her heart clench at the thought of him near her. " He might be sound asleep by now." Somewhat disappointed, she descended the stairs and walked towards the kitchen. She knew in and around the kitchen well by now, so she did not bother to switch on the lights. The street lights outside the house cast its faint glow inside the kitchen so that was more than enough for her to manoeuvre her way around. She stood near one of the windows near the wash basin and placed the jar on the side as she gazed out of the window eyeing the silent road in front and watched the tall lamp posts. She observed the lights, and how the moths were drawn to its heat. They knew it would burn them, yet they couldn't help themselves from moving towards their hearts' desire. She just stood there for a few minutes with nothing in her head as she took in deep breaths to completely clear her mind. she almost felt at ease when Alexander popped up in her head again. He never left her alone. She hoped to be with him now, than standing here all  alone looking at absolutely nothing. She imagined him standing behind her, hugging her from behind and whispering sweet nothings into her ear as he tenderly kissed her neck, and laid feather like touches on her ear as the warmth of his warm hands wrapped around her seeped into her thin night wear. The thought alone ignited her body with immense want. The night was quiet. No sound of crickets, no wind and No Alexander. Just silence. So silent that it was almost...

"So this is how you've been effectively hiding from me." His voice came, awakening the silent night. The once silent kitchen was not so silent anymore as she flinched by his sudden voice. Her ears filled with the sound of her own heart beats and her body awakened at the sound of his deep dark voice. She had at last got what she desired and wanted. She gulped and hesitated to turn around and acknowledge his presence by at least seeing him. He had done a very good job at scaring the life out of her. She kept her hand on her chest and slightly pressed it to calm herself down as she parted her lips and greedily sucked in all the air that she could take in. she could feel his heated gaze drilling holes into her from behind as she sensed the frustration in his voice again.

"If you don't turn around the next second, I will come there and you can do nothing about what I do to you after that." His stated in his strong voice and she turned even before she registered what he said. Alexander was like that; the sound of his voice was more powerful than the words he spoke. It had a control over peoples' mind.

She observed that he had not switched on the lights even though they were situated right behind him. He watched her for a few minutes in that dim light that seeped through the windows from outside and opened the refrigerator. He pulled out a water bottle and opened it as he kept his unwavering gaze on her. Lust. He could feel those words work their magic on his blood as he watched her standing alone as the lights from outside accentured her curves. His free hand twitched and he soon closed the bottle and kept it inside the refrigerator. He had trapped her successfully and nothing else could make him happier than having her stand all alone and nervous in front of him. He kept his gaze on her again admiring how his childhood love had bloomed into a beautiful curvaceous angel, and at the same time, he also felt bad for not being able to watch her grow into this beautiful, strong woman. It killed him every time when he read that letter on which she poured her entire heart out to him and all he did was deny her his love.

But now that he got her back, he would not let her go. Above every other feeling, all he wanted to do was to see her, hold her in his arms and never let go of her. He wanted to feel each and every inch of her silk smooth skin, her beautiful black hair and kiss those luscious lips as he melted in her warmth. He wanted her. Completely. He had waited too long, and his patience was growing really thin. Or more precisely, there was no more patience left in him.

Shirtless!? She caught a glimpse of him when he opened the refrigerator and the light illuminated his body. She gulped again and looked everywhere around the kitchen than him. After a few torturing seconds, he again opened the refrigerator and her traitorous eyes were once again drawn towards him. Just like the moths she had watched a few minutes back. She knew she would burn, yet she gravitated towards him.

"It has been three days since I last saw you, and let me tell you Rose, you have succeeding in hitting my last nerve." He said, and clenched his jaw.

She could see it all since he hadn't yet shut the door of the refrigerator yet. She could see how he worked the frustration on his jaws and the clenching of his fists, the bulge of the veins on his hand and his narrowed eyes. She also saw the beard that was ruthlessly precise covering his jaws accurately. She saw the dents of his muscles and how the light gave a soft glow to his six packs. He looked stronger now, like he worked out harder. His hands were...

The loud sound of him banging the refrigerator tore her away from her observation and she looked back to only find him storming his way towards her. She pushed herself back even more and clutched the edges of the basin for support as he thrust his body onto hers and she gasped due to the sudden hit of a heated, rock solid body on her fragile soft one. This sudden hit did hurt her skin, but she did not seem to notice any of it, for the pain was only a sweet pleasure.

"Why do you have to check me out with those lust filled eyes when you have all the rights in the world to get into my room and do whatever the hell you want to do with me? Why do you hold yourself back every time Rose?" he said, with heavy frustration. When he saw her nodding her head, he again spoke, "Don't deny that you want me Rose. It's clear in your eyes." He said and brought his head closer to hers. The heat from his body became too much for her to handle and to hold herself together. She pushed her hands behind for more support, and this caused a few glasses to fall into the wash basin and onto the floor making it shatter with a loud sound. Alexander moved slightly and looked down at the shattered pieces of glass and back towards her with an arrogant smirk on his face. Without wasting another second he captured her lips with his. He could not hold back as he roughly smashed her lips with his as he felt Rose stiff and non responsive.

"Kiss me!" he demanded without removing his lips from hers.

"Who's that?" called out, an elderly woman's voice. Her eyes widened as she recognized the owner of that voice.

"Martha!" Rose whispered and pushed him backwards as she escaped from the kitchen and ran up the stairs as fast as she could.

"What's that there?" Martha came, tuned the lights on and smiled when she found Alexander grinning at her.

"The glass slipped." He said, scratching the back of his head as he looked at the wise old lady whom he loved dearly.

"Uh huh? I just saw Rose run up the stairs, so don't fill me with that shit." She narrowed her eyes at him playfully.

She walked into the kitchen to where Alexander was standing.

"I'll clean it up. Go to bed Alex."

Before she could bend, Alexander kneeled down and started to pick up the broken pieces of glass carefully.

"Alex!"

"You look tiered Martha. Aren't you taking your tablets?" he questioned, genuinely concerned about her health. She looked weaker than before and that did not settle well with him. He had set up regular health checks for her, and had asked for a special diet meal to be prepared for Martha. She was like a mother to him; a lady who stuck by his side at his best and worst.

"Hah, not again Alex..I'm fine son. Thank you. Old age does that to people and it's not because of the tablets."

"Are you taking your regular health checks?"He asked, picking up the pieces carefully.

"Yes, I am. Moreover, I'm not going anywhere until you give me grandchildren, honey" she smiled and ruffled his hair.

"You know you're talking to your employer, don't you?" he asked, trying his best to sound serious annoyed.

"Right! I just forgot that." She said and laughed when she saw his cheeks slightly heat up.

Babies. If anyone carried his child, it would be only her; only Roseanne. And just like that, his body ignited at the thought of making her his. And he knew that he would do that soon. very soon.

"Good night, sir." She said, and walked away with a teasing smile on her face and happy about how deeply he was in love with a wonderful lady. She was happy for him, for them. She had never seen Alexander so happy before. The first time she found him genuinely happy was when he told her that he had found Roseanne.

Alexander switched the lights off in the kitchen and climbed up the stairs once he finished picking up all the pieces. As he reached the last step, he stopped and looked towards her room. He decided to try again, like how he did every other night. He turned left towards her room instead of going to his and moreover, he was in no mood to let her sleep after the stunt she had just pulled downstairs. Every day, he would come near her door and twist the knob of the bedroom door, hoping that she would have left it unlocked, but everyday she made it a point to lock it from inside. Today he tried again, and this time the door opened, slowly revealing the dark room.

He smiled, feeling like a little kid sneaking into the kitchen to get his favorite candy, and she was his favorite candy after all. He slowly pushed the door and got inside the room. He closed the door behind him and clicked it shut as he kept his eyes on her. Rose was awake, and was facing the door as she tried to sleep. Now that he was in, she just started at him, excited, scared and felt things she couldn't really pin point. She could feel his intense eyes piercing through her soul and move through her body, undressing her inch by inch.

"You have no permission to enter my Room." She spoke slowly, almost like a whisper. But the night was quiet, and calm, so unusually quiet that he could even hear the sharp intakes of breath she took.

"This house is mine, so the room automatically becomes mine and you, are mine too." He smirked as he walked towards the foot of her bed and stood facing her. He folded his arms on his chest and kept his eyes fixated on hers .

 "So,I can enter into anything that belongs to Me." with that said, he winked at her with that smirk still plastered on his face.
