Blood, Roses and YOU
Chapter 1
Love is not destroyed by lies… it is destroyed by silence.”
Moretti Mansion – Late Night
The whiskey burned down his throat.
But nothing burned like betrayal.
Alessandro sits alone in his study, half-empty bottle on the table. His hand is bleeding from shattered glass.
Alessandro Moretti
(thinking, coldly❄️) She loves me. I’ve seen it in her eyes, felt it in her touch......Then why, Aradhya… why did you hide from me?
Rafael enters quietly, notices blood dripping from Alessandro’s fist.
Rafael Russo
(tense) Boss… your hand
Alessandro Moretti
(without looking up) Let it bleed
Upstairs, in the master bedroom-Aradhya slept. Tears still glistening on her cheeks.
Aradhya Sharma
(murmurs in sleep, broken voice) I’m sorry… forgive me…
Alessandro appears at the doorway, eyes burning. He watches her fragile figure, his jaw tightens.
Alessandro Moretti
(whisper, bitter) You beg for forgiveness in dreams… but in reality, you tried to leave me......You are mine, Aradhya. Only mine.
He slams the door shut and walks away. Rafael follows in silence.
Rafael Russo
(carefully) She loves you, boss. Maybe fear made her hide the truth
Alessandro Moretti
(cold smile) Better she fears me forever… than belongs to another for a second
The storm was not in the sky tonight.It was in him.
That storm would follow her everywhere...maybe..
Chapter 2
Morning — Moretti Mansion
Aradhya finally stepped out of her room.
And not a single glimpse of Alessandro.
Her eyes landed on Rafael, standing like a shadow near the door.
Rafael Russo
(calm, formal) Boss asked me to take you to the university
Aradhya Sharma
(hesitant) He… he didn’t say anything else?
Rafael Russo
(expression unreadable) No. Just the order
Aradhya walked through the gates.
Every step felt heavy.
Instead of lectures, she slipped into the library. Sat there the whole day.
But her mind wasn’t on the books.
It was still trapped in his eyes,
A sudden voice broke her daze.
Leonardo vitale
(strictly) Aradhya! Where the hell were you for two days?
Aradhya Sharma
(startled, whispers) Leo… I—
Leonardo vitale
(cuts in) Don’t you dare lie. You just vanished. No calls, nothing.
Her silence screamed louder than any excuse.
Suddenly, loud shouts echoed from outside.
Students rushed toward the ground.
Chapter 3
The crowd circled tightly, shouts and gasps echoing through the air.
Aradhya stepped forward with Leonardo at her side.
Her eyes widened. Her heart stopped.
Knuckles bleeding, jaw clenched, fists crashing into another man’s face without mercy.
Each strike was raw, brutal—like rage given shape.
Her lips trembled, but no words left her mouth.
Only her eyes spoke—fear, worry, helplessness.
As if sensing her presence… he stopped.
His dark gaze lifted.Straight into hers.
The noise of the crowd disappeared.
It was just his storm, crashing into her silence.
For a moment—everything stilled.
Then, without a word, Alessandro let go of the man, pushed past the crowd, and walked away.
University Canteen – Later
Aradhya sat quietly with Leonardo.
The scene still replayed in her mind. His blood. His eyes. His silence.
Suddenly, a shy boy from her class approached, fidgeting nervously.
Classmate
(stammering) A–Aradhya… I… I like you. W-would you… go out with me?
Aradhya’s eyes widened.Before she could say a word
Leonardo vitale
(laughing) You don’t know? She already belongs to someone. And trust me… you don’t want to compete with him
The boy’s face flushed in embarrassment.
Aradhya’s throat tightened—her heart sinking.
The sharp crash of a chair echoed through the canteen.
Without a glance at her, without a single word
He walked straight past, out of the canteen
And the weight of his storm behind.
