Chapter 100 A Blade To My Throat

**Soren‘s POV

Rosalie had moved out.

it was difficult to know that she had left the cottage behind my home, but at least she had moved into a house that I owned.

If she couldn‘t stay in my cottage anymore, at my home, at least she was still under my wing in a different way. The sale had been rushed, but it served my purpose, so it was good enough. As a bonus, the house was bought for a steal anyway.

I wasn‘t there for the move because I‘d just returned from the north. I rubbed my temples, the supplies going to the north had been delivered as we expected. Everything else was arranged and under control. Why was I just having this feeling that something would go wrong?

“We‘re here,” Thomas said. “Time to put on your smile.”

“Just shut up.” I rolled my eyes. “Is everything ready?”

“Of course.” Thomas was competent, but it wouldn’t hurt to double check.

“Good evening, my beautiful Ro!” I smiled as usual. I had to admit that smiling around her had become easier and easier. Good or bad, most times, I did it without even realizing it.

“Soren, you‘re here! Welcome back!” Rosalie seemed to be happy to see me.

Thanded over the flowers to her and gave her a big hug. She giggled and ushered me in.

Immediately, I was welcomed by the delicious smell of food. I had to say, after a long trip, a nice homemade meal was tempting. The money I spent on Rosalie was so worth it.

As she put the flowers in the vase, she said, “Food will be ready soon– but Soren, I cannot accept the piano.”

I had my men pack up the things she needed to take with her. Since the new house was furnished, there wasn‘t too much, but I had sent the piano along.

“1 insist,” I sat down on the couch, “if you had left it there, it would be so lonely without being used. Are you really going to make the piano so sad?”

She chuckled but didn‘t seem to be convinced. “Soren, it‘s too expensive–”

I continued my reasoning. “Plus, how am I going to have my private concert if my musician doesn‘t have her instrument? Keep it, please, for me.”

She finished putting the flowers in the vase, and looked towards me. “Soren, you are just too kind. You‘ve done too much for me, thank you,” she said.

I saw how grateful she was, and I liked it when she showed me her appreciation. That was the reaction wanted from her. Everything was going as planned.

However, her eyes were so innocent and gentle. Her smile was so genuine that I had to force myself to look

away.

Dimn it! Ever since that night, every time I was around her, I thought of that dream I‘d had about her. Now, sitting in her living room, her sweet scent was surrounding me, and my fingers itched to reach over to her. I had to dig my nails into the couch to keep from touching her.

I cleared my throat and dragged my focus back to the conversation. “You‘re very welcome, Ro. I‘m happy to have had the opportunity to help. I guess I‘ll just have to visit you here until I can convince you to move in with me again.”

She gave me a curious look, and I realized what I had said. F*ck..

I laughed, like I was joking, and said, “You know… to manage a different property… or something.”

Rosalie smiled and teased me, “Soren, how many properties are you going to buy?”

I shrugged. “The more the merrier. Too bad I only have one Ro.copy right hot novel pub
