Damian's rose novel Chapter 39

Authors pov

"Hurry up, we don't have time..."

Ashton yelled at the man who was fixing the defect in the elevator system.

The man hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead and started handling the wires, his hands were shivering while doing it as Ashton was standing there with his gun glaring at him with his angry eyes.

Rose tried to stop the elevator by pressing every button present there but it was of no use.

She lost her balance and slammed on the glass wall when the lift shook like she is facing an earthquake.

She looked at the glass wall and hope rose in her heart when she realised she can escape from the falling elevator.

She pulled out her gun and stood close to door away from the glass wall. She fired multiple times making the glass brake into small pieces. She stepped forward but still it was too high and the lift was going down at high speed.

Damian was standing down looking at her in panic. Rose took a deep breath when the elevator was close to crash on the floor. She jumped out of the broken glass, falling just few metres away from the elevator. It crashed down with a loud voice and the remaining broken glasses scattered everywhere. She quickly sat down on the floor and covered her head and face with her hands but still few broken pieces pierced her hands.

Damian was quick to cover her body with his saving her from facing the wrath of those sharp broken pieces.

Everyone gathered there and looked at the destroyed lift. White smoke was coming from it's lights and the spark of electricity coming from it was enough to show how dangerous it is to touch it now.

If Rose wouldn't have jumped out of it she would have been dead by now.

Damian's guards quickly called help to take care of it.

Damian helped Rose to stand up and pulled her away from the lift.

She was breathing heavily and her throat was dry like a desert. She licked her dry lips and sat on the chair grabbing her throabing head in her hands.

Damian calmed himself down, he almost got a panic attack by looking at Rose's situations. He was still shivering thinking what could have happened if Rose was not trained for situations like this. Her lifeless body with thousands of glass pieces pierced in it was haunting his mind, he shook his head and pushed aside this scary imagination.

Still he was shaken from within, the thought of loosing her was too much for him.

He took the water bottle from Ashton and made her drink it.

Rose noticed his trembling hands and looked at him, his eyes were glossy and the fear of loosing her was clearly visible in them.

"I am fine..."

She cupped his face with her bloody hands and tried to console him.

He held her bloody hands in his trembling one's and kissed them.

"I don't want to loose you, Rose... I won't be able to live after that..."

He confessed in broken voice.

Her heart melted at his emotional words, she pulled him in a tight hug and he quickly wrapped his arms around her bringing her closer. Everyone looked at them in awe and most of them were shocked looking at there boss's different side. The man who never gave two fucks about anyone, who always maintained distance from emotions and was totally against the idea of getting attached with people is now scared to loose his special one.

"I am not going anywhere Damian, no one can tear us apart not even death..."

He closed his eyes placing his face in the crook of her neck and inhaled her sweet scent trying to make himself calm.

They pulled out from their hug and he looked at the staff with murderous glare.

"Whose responsibility is it to maintain lift..."

He asked in dangerously calm tone but looked otherwise.

One man stepped in front of him from the scared crowd.

"B..Boss, I don't know how this happened... The elevator was perfectly fine in the morning..."

He stuttered, shaking in fear...

"Ashton investigate the matter properly and if it's his fault bring him to me, I will personally kill him..."

He ordered not taking his angry eyes of that man.

Damian looked at Rose who was still sitting on the chair, he picked her up in bridal style and walked outside towards his car.

"I am fine Damian..."

She said looking at his distressed state.

"Yeah, I can see that..."

He mocked pointing at her injured hands.

He placed her in the back seat and ordered Ashton to drive to the hospital while sitting beside her.

Rose looked at his worried face and smiled. This is the first time that she witnessed how it feels to have someone who care about you. The feeling of someone wanting to cherish you and having a special place in his heart was too overwhelming for her.

She placed her head on his chest and scooted closer to him. He wrapped his hand around her shoulder and rubbed her back gently.

"Thank you for keeping me in your life, Damian..."

She said lovingly making his heart flutter at her sweet words.

"I should be the one thanking you for this angel, not the other way around..."

He placed a kiss on her forehead...

Ashton looked at them through the mirror and smiled at their emotional scene. This is also the first time he saw Rose displaying her emotions for anyone and his boss to take care of someone.  He was happy for them.

Damian took Rose to the hospital and the doctors immediately started treating her wounds.

"Nothing to worry about Mr. Knight the wounds are not too deep, she is perfectly fine..."

Doctor assured him and left.

"I will do it by myself, I am not a child Damian..."

Rose replied shaking her head while getting up from the bed.

"No you can't do it, your hands will get wet, I am giving you a bath and that's final..."

He replied in his bossy tone while taking off his shirt.

"I can do it, I have done it before..."

She said stubbornly and started to walk hurriedly towards the bathroom but he quickly grabbed her arm spinning her around.

"Stop me if you can..."

He gave her a mocking smile and threw her on his shoulder.

"Mr. I can stop you and you are very well aware of that..."

She teased when he threw her over his shoulder.

He took her to the bathroom and put her down in front of him.

"Shut up and stay still..."

He scolded her and she obeyed hiding her smile.

Damian unbuttoned her shirt and slid them down from her shoulders.

"Don't you have any other work to do ?"
