《Control (Book 1 of Control Series)》Chapter 36
Advertisement
After the visit to the Barricks we had a silent car ride to my house. I invited them in but, they refused saying that they'd see us Friday. Dylan seemed quite shaken while Jared looked ansy as if he'd rather be somewhere else which honestly made me want to cause him physical harm. I grab my keys to unlock the door only to find it open. Did I not lock it? I did. Then why is it open? Panic grips me as I slam the door open and look around to find Rose. "Rose," I yell. "Rosaline." I look in the kitchen and the living room before, remembering where I last saw her and run to the theater room.
My shoulders sag in relief when I find my girl on the couch curled up in a ball. However, my relief is short lived when I see her tear-stained face. "Rosaline," I whisper, making my presence known as to not startle her. She doesn't say anything and I think for a second that she's sleeping with her eyes open until I touch her. "Don't touch me," she shrieks and I freeze my hand starting to throb with the need to put her in her place. She backs away from me and I scoot closer to her, reaching out to grab her arm. "I said don't touch me!" She gets up and runs to the door and I jump from the couch and grab her, slamming her against the wall. "Why can't I touch you," I ask through gritted teeth. She doesn't say anything instead, just shakes her head, tears rolling down her already blotchy cheeks. "Why are you crying," I ask hating every tear that falls from her beautiful eyes, which I'm sure are now irritated due to the fact that she still has her contacts in. Again she doesn't answer me and I begin to get frustrated. "Rose your crying your eyes out for a reason and I want to know why so I can clear it up and you can stop wasting your tears." She still doesn't answer and my grip tightens on her. Rose cries out and tries to jerk away from me causing me to slightly loosen my grip. "Let me go you cheater." That word causes me to freeze. What? A cheater. "Rose what are you talking about," I ask. "A woman came in and claimed to be your wife and at first I didn't believe her until the twins called her mom." My whole body goes still as dark anger fills up my body. Rose seeing the change in my demeanor takes it the wrong way and sobs. "I knew it, I knew it," she screams and her eyes change with a look that I can't identify. "I knew you didn't really want me because, why would you want a sad human being like me? I knew you wanted me for my body or to use me for whatever silly game you and your friends are playing but, your married." She said the last word with so much venom I had the urge to take a step back.

"Rose I-NO." She interrupts me with a scream and I once again see that look in her eyes. What is it. It's not desperation or sadness.... maybe madness. I open my mouth to say something when she snaps. Her eyes go dark and her limps begin to flail. Her mouth opens and the room is soon filled with screams. I freeze up for a second shocked. Then my instincts take over and I pick her up. It's hard to grip her at first but, I manage as I walk out the theater and walk towards her room. When we get to her room I close the door with my foot and walk over to her bed. I sit down and wrap my arms around her body putting her head on my chest so she can hear my steady heartbeat. "Let me go, let me go!" I continue to hold her rocking back and forth shushing her and slowly she starts to calm down. We sit there in silence for a few moment as we walk back and forth. She begin to struggle again and I know I have to tell her.
"When I was young I was really stressed and even though I worked out at the gym to release some energy I could never fully calm down. So I started...getting in bed with woman and most of that stress was released. I met a woman name Scarlet who was different from the others. She wasn't afraid to stand up to me much to my displeasure. But she was good in bed so I kept her. After the 5th time we...did it I told her she wasn't the one for me. We stopped talking and my life was fine. Then a few weeks later she came to me claiming she's pregnant. At first I didn't believe her until she took me to the bathroom and literally made me watch as she peed on the stick letting me know what she said was true. I didn't want kids because, I knew that with kids I'd be even more stressed and I wasn't ready. I mean kids need love and I was afraid I couldn't give it to them. I told Jared and Dylan and they helped me throughout Scarlet's pregnancy. I decided to keep the child only to find out Scarlet didn't want a child. When we went to the doctor's office and found she was having twins she wanted to have an abortion. I told her no and that if she didn't want anything to do with the kids then I could take care of them myself. She had the kids and for two years the twins nor I heard from her. Until recently she got into some trouble and wanted help. I didn't want to get involved but, she threatened to tell the press that I raped her." I paused taking a deep breath to calm down my anger. "I couldn't let her tell the press because, even if I proved I didn't my company would be ruined. So I let her parade around my house acting like she bought it and let her spend all my money that I worked day and night earning and I was going to let it keep happening until, I met you."

I feel her tense and slowly she looks up at me confusion clear across her face. "What do you mean," she asks her voice cracking from over-use. "When I first saw you I decided that I'll take my life back because, if I can't control my life how could I take care of you?" She sucks in a breath and I smile rubbing my nose against her forehead. I slowly get up and put her on her bed taking off her shirt and lifting up her up slightly to take off her skirt. She doesn't even squeal just blushes and looks down. I dump her clothes in a basket and go into her closet pulling out a silk nightgown. I walk over to Rosaline and bunch up the fabric in my hands. "Arms up." She lifts her arms and I slide the gown down her arms and over her body. "Beautiful." I breathe. She blushes harder and I coo. "What about Brian," she asks. I furrow my brows in confusion. "Brian's mother, what about her?" I sigh and lay her down pulling the cover to her chin. "That's a story for another time," I say kissing her forehead. "Goodnight," I whisper and watch as her eyes close. I stay in the room until I hear her even breathing. That's when my face hardens and Scarlet's face flashes across my mind. That bitch. I'm going to. Kill. Her.
