Wife of Mafia (English version)

Chapter 12. Handsome Prince

Night fell quickly, the condition of this house seemed to be getting busier with cheers and screams of laughter that I didn't understand.

"Why don't you guys stay over today?" Adam's offer left me numb for a moment.

Hell no! At home I don't feel comfortable with Charles, let alone with all these mafias, I might not be able to sleep.

"Good idea," replied Charles which made me stare at him in anger.

He gave me an innocent smile. I squeezed the hem of my dress tightly, wanting to punch him right now.

"Okay, then your room is on the third floor, in the room with the gold door on the right. You can rest right away," Adam explained and Charles nodded in response.

Everyone started to disperse and went to their respective rooms. Me and Charles too, we went up the third floor and found the room that Adam had described. A room with a kingsize bed with a gold blend that dominates this room. I sat on the bed and indeed, the quality was very good, as if I slept on goose feathers.

"I'm going to take a shower first," said Charles which I didn't respond to.

I circled the room and ended up on the balcony overlooking the shady back garden and dimly lit garden lights.

The gentle breeze slapped me gently, especially with the smell of roses coming from the garden that really hypnotized me to enjoy it.

"You can take a shower Rosie." I was surprised and turned around to see Charles wearing a kimono.

Charles approached me and pulled me back into the room. After that, he closed the balcony door.

"The night breeze isn't good for you Rosie." Charles warned me and I ignored him and went straight into the bathroom.

I thought that a quick warm bath could relax my body and mind. About fifteen minutes, I immediately got up from the bath-up and finished my shower.

I came out of the bathroom and found Charles already asleep. My gaze fell on the clock on the wall which showed 10 pm, the man quickly fell asleep.

I walked to the closet trying to find something more comfortable to sleep in than the dress. I got a nightgown with short sleeves and shorts. It is very comfortable to wear than a dress.

When I was about to get on the bed, I felt my throat dry making me thirsty. I wanted to wake Charles but I didn't want to listen to his ramblings, and he and I weren't that close for me to befriend. So, I decided to venture out to take my own drink.

I left the room and the hallway to the stairs down was very dark, only helped by the yellow and old-looking wall lamp lighting.

Finally I got to the stairs and down it, I walked towards the dining room table earlier and looked for the drink because I didn't know where the kitchen was.

I opened the door to the dining room and saw on the table there was a pot of drinking water and a glass, I just went in without looking anymore and took the drink.

"So thirsty, huh?" asked someone who almost choked me.

I looked at the owner of the voice and found a man sitting in one of the many chairs. The man's clothes were black and it's no wonder I didn't see him, he was just a shadow.

"Who are you? I just saw you," the man asked and I stuttered.

"I-I'm Rosie," I replied.

The man chuckled. "Okay, Rosie, I mean why are you here?" he asked which made me very embarrassed.

"I was here with Charles and was staying here," I muttered shyly.

The man got up from his seat and approached me. When his face is exposed to the light, I can see that handsome face that looks like it was sculpted by the best artist of all time. A sharp nose, thick eyebrows, sexy lips and a strong jaw.

"So you're Charles' wife? I'm sorry I was late at the banquet so I didn't know you," he explained and I nodded in astonishment.

The man took my hand and kissed it. "Nice to meet you Rosie. Call me Danial," he said which made me melt, how could he not kiss my hand gently.

After realizing my admiration, I pulled my hand from his grip. It was a tremendous temptation to stare at him when he was near.

"I'm done drinking, I'll excuse myself first," I said goodbye and just walked quickly towards the door.

Before I actually closed the door, I could hear him say, "I hope we meet again, beautiful."

Ah! My face was red and even my ears were heating up. I ran up the stairs and walked down the hall to my room.

Pinch my cheeks a little so as not to be too carried away by the prince's face earlier. My path stopped, I saw a black shadow at the end of the hall that scared me to death. I stepped back slowly and the shadow approached. As I was about to run backwards, I could see that the black shadow was Charles with his pillow face who is somehow very handsome.

"Where have you been, huh?" he asked in an annoyed tone.

"I got a drink," I replied.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" he asked again.

I rolled my eyes. "You were sleeping soundly," I said, though I was afraid to wake him.

"Next time wake me up," he says and I nod.

He pulled my hand or rather held my hand until the room and told me to get on the bed first then after that he went up too. It wraps around my neck.

"It's so cold tonight, you need to stay warm," he mumbled with his eyes closed.

I try to sleep even though these eyes don't want to close. Surprisingly this afternoon I was sleepy and for some reason not tonight at all.

I turned my body, which had been staring at the ceiling, was now facing Charles, who had fallen asleep. This is the first time I'm looking at him this intensely.

I shook my hand in front of his face, who knows he hasn't fallen asleep yet. But after he showed no reply, I'm sure if he had fallen asleep.

I slowly got off the bed and walked towards the balcony. After that sat on the balcony chair. The wind blew hard tonight, making my hair fly.

This park is so beautiful. I closed my eyes letting the wind wrap around me. It's like a fresh country breeze.

"Hey!"

"Hey!" call someone else that makes me open my eyes.

Turns out the sound was coming from the balcony next door. I just realized that the balconies are very close together only separated by a few sticky flower pots.

I looked at the owner of the voice "Who?" I asked.

"Daniel!" The answer took me by surprise.

He illuminates his face with the light of his cellphone and finally I can see that handsome face. He smiled sweetly that almost made me scream with joy. Damn! He's not good for my heart.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

I replied, "Enjoying the evening breeze, you?"

"Just like you, but the difference is currently enjoying the beautiful angelic face in front of me."

Hearing his words made my face heat up and my ears must be red.

"Don't tease me," I muttered shyly.

He laughed. "You're beautiful when you're together."

I face the other side, hiding my warm face again. Honestly, Daniel is very good at teasing me.

"I sleep first," I said ending this heart exercise.

He waved his hand "Good night, Princess." I replied with a wave too.

I quickly went to my room and rolled myself in the blanket. "Uh, he's making it harder for me to sleep!" I grumbled.
