Bird Set Free

2 FOR 1

Alessandro's POV

"I don't get it. She's a very famous model but she works a 9-5 job?" Ace whispers as we watch Rose typing away on her laptop.

The same laptop I managed to have my men come and bring into my mansion along with everything else of hers he could find at her ex fiancés mansion. As much as I begged her to let me buy her new things and clothes so she won't have to remember all those old things she had while living with that bastard. She was firm on not letting me waste anymore money on her.

She was furious to find out I had redecorated my whole mansion in honor of everything she liked. The pages she followed on both her Pinterest and Instagram account was enough for me to redecorate everything as if it was her dreams come true right in front of her.

But this stubborn woman had raised hell in my own home just for spending a little bit of money on her. I've told her many times that a few million dollars did nothing to my bank account, she still told me off like a troubled child getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

And I wasn't a child. I was a love sick fool willing to burn all the money in the world just to make her happy.

Which she hasn't been lately after that demented woman tried to shoot her. Luckily that evil bastard somehow had a heart inside of himself to throw his body in front of my rose. Guess the cold hearted bastard had a heart after all. To bad it was wasted on an evil man.

After the paramedics had taken the injured man to the hospital, not only did his parents show up there to see him. But so did every last one of his former lady friends and all the children he was trying so hard to cover up. TMZ had a lot to say about that once the news of an overcrowded hospital was due to the same man that was publicly exposed for cheating on his ex fiancé with his former in home nurse.

Now, the demon spawn and his father had taken a quick disappearance from the country. Nobody has seen them both since then.

My rose on the other hand decided to throw herself back into her work while her parents and myself had decided to keep her locked in my home. Of course she was strong enough to look after herself but the worry that both her parents and I had for her almost being killed was to much.

The first thing I did after we left that crime scene, I took her straight to the hospital to make sure she was checked over for any injury. When there was none found, me and her parents decided to get her some help for her mentality.

Everyone reacts differently to almost dying so I knew that no matter how strong my rose was, she wasn't going to tell us how traumatic that day was. So now, every 2 days a week she's been seeing one of the top highly recommended therapist.

Of course I didn't let her go see the woman outside of my home for the sake of my worry over her protection. So I paid Dr.Spencer double the amount just so she could meet with my rose in my home.

Due to her needing to talk about her emotions on her own, I let them have their own private space on the third floor in my mansion. I made sure Ace's nosey self was kept far away in case she felt overwhelmed by how clingy we both were being.

Especially now with her parents also deciding to live in my large mansion, I wanted the ones she loved to be around to be there for her. I could tell by the time we rushed into that horrid place, she was shaking so hard that I knew something inside her had broken from seeing both her and her ex's life flash in a matter of seconds in front of that crazy lady's gun.

She began to become a shell of herself days after everything settled down. She would barely speak to her parents and me and Ace. And when she did it would be short words like 'I'm fine', 'I'm not hungry', 'I'm just tired', or 'I wanna be alone'. She wouldn't even speak about what happened.

It just seemed like the brightness that used to be in her eyes began to dim. Her smiles seemed more forced and instead of speaking about what was on her mind like she's always done before, she disregarded our ways of asking if she was okay. And she didn't fight me as much as I thought she would when I first told her I'd be keeping her in my mansion until she was better.

I can see that she needed therapy more than she wanted to admit. The more she had the therapy sessions, the more she was beginning to shine just like before. The strong fighter in her that I first fell for was now beginning to show her colors again.

But along with that powerful soul in her, came the strong willingness of a workaholic woman. I mean, me being one myself understood why she wanted to go straight back to working. I just couldn't understand why she wanted to go back to working so quickly.

Her parents think it was just a way for her to distract herself while she was still recovering from that traumatic experience.

It might be wrong in some cases for a person to do that but I was gonna stick beside my woman even if she did need a distraction to go back to feeling like how she did before. If it helped her to get better than I was fine with letting her do her thing. I wasn't gonna stand in her way after everything that happened.

"Being a worldwide known model doesn't mean I can't also be an entrepreneur. Yes I have an office job because I choose too. Why? Because unlike some of the rich and wealthy people in the world, I intend to use the money I make to continue making more instead of wasting it the first chance I get. I'm more than a just a pretty face and nice body" Rose answers Ace while still typing away on her laptop.

Smiling at her words, I walk into her newly furnished room in my home that she chose to stay in as soon as I brought her in. I handed her favorite honey roasted milk tea drink she's been obsessed with lately. For a woman that loved to order from a boba shop 24/7, I was confused as to why she never once gotten a drink with boba in it. Well, I was confused until she had told me earlier this week that she didn't like the taste of boba and only enjoyed drinking the delicious milk tea.

If she hadn't shunned me from spending another penny on her, I'd have bought or created an entire milk tea shop near my home just for her to get it easily and quickly. I wasn't lying when I said I'd do anything to make this woman happy.

Even though I'm not anywhere near being a barista or anything but I'd personally learn how to make the drink myself if she wanted. Ace had already learned how to make her chai tea latte drink she's obsessed with from Starbucks. Which was the easiest task seeing as all it took was a Tazo chai tea box being poured into a cup with ice and blended with milk. Lucky bastard already took the chance for me to make her that easy drink.

Now I gotta learn how to make a honey roasted milk tea that just sounds as difficult as it looks when I watch the people at the boba place making. The guy that makes it for her probably thinks I'm a creep by the way I'm always leaning over the counter to watch how he makes her drink. If I'm gonna want to make her happy myself, than I'll learn how to make everything she loves on my own if I have to.

"Are you hungry? Do you want me to make you your favorite chocolate croissant? Or maybe a chocolate crepe? Or a-"

"I'm fine. You two can go do whatever you want today. I don't need anything else you guys haven't already done for me"

Ace and I stood watching her with confused gazes. It wasn't the first time she tried to chase us away to give her some personal time alone. But it was the first time she was telling us to do it so calmly. Usually she'd fuss and argue while throwing pillows at us to leave her alone in her room. Now we were confused as to why she wasn't making a fuss about it this time.

"Did you guys need something?" She asks now finally looking up at us from her laptop.

"Why aren't you fighting us to leave you alone like you usually do?" Ace retorts quickly letting her know of our confused thoughts.

Letting out a sigh, she closed her laptop and set aside before making space on her bed to gesture us to sit down in front of her. The image reminding me of when me and Ace were kids and our mother used to tell us to sit with her when she'd have something serious to talk about in her bedroom.

"I know you guys have been helping me these past few weeks after what happened. And I'm very grateful for all the help and care you two have been giving me but there's something I've been thinking about telling you and I don't know how else to say it without feeling selfish" She says nervously fiddling with her fingers as we eyed her cautiously.

"You can tell us anything Rosie. Whatever you want we'll be able to do and whatever you need we'll get it for you in a flash. Just say the word and it's yours" Ace being the soft one between the two of us, assures her.

"I love living here, especially with the two of you making me feel really cared for but I can't do it anymore" She explains slowly watching our reaction.

"Do what anymore?" Ace asks quickly getting nervous at where she was heading with this conversation.

"I can't take this anymore. Yes, I am your girlfriend and yes I know you two would do anything for me. But if I stay here locked up in this house for another day, I swear to god I'm gonna end up shooting myself!" She exclaims while throwing her hands up dramatically making me and Ace laugh in relief.

Being twins really did mean we thought alike and with the way she was speaking so seriously, we thought she was going to break up with us already. Turns out she just wants to go back to being a normal human being.

She was right. We've been hogging her to ourselves these past 4 weeks and it isn't fair for a woman who's known for traveling the world 24/7 to all of a sudden being stuck in a room with two lovesick men coddling  her like strict over protective parents would to their child.

"Well your therapist has been saying great things about your appointments together. She doesn't tell me any information about your meetings, since her job is confidential, but she does let me know if your getting better or not. And by the compliments she's been telling me about you lately, I'd say I'm fine with letting you go out of the house. You're a grown woman and you can make your own decisions" I simply reply with a shrug as her face lit up at my words.

"Really?! I can go back to work without you two trying to drag me back here kicking and screaming like last time?!" She gasps excitedly making both of us laugh.

"It's wrong for us to keep you locked up in here because of our own worries. I guess after what happened we just got so worked up about protecting you that we forget about your feelings. We're sorry for treating you like a caged bird instead of letting you do things on your own" Ace apologizes while grabbing her hands softly.

She smiles at him before grabbing my hand as well. Leaning down to plant a kiss on both her hands, me and Ace pulled her into our arms together for a group hug. It was the first time all 3 of us had actually done something like this all together but that just made me more excited for how else our newly found relationship will take for all three of us.

I never once thought in my life that I would ever end up in a three way relationship. Especially one involving my own twin brother. Of course there'll be no incest in anyway between the two of us. But for the first time, I'll be sharing a woman I hold very dearly in my heart with another man. The same man I've been together with since we were in our mothers womb.

At first I thought the idea of us both dating her to be weird, since I've never shared any woman I've dated before. But after seeing how it was like to have both me and Ace working together like the moon and sun. It was like we were two different pieces of a puzzle that didn't fit unless the third piece, being our rose, was there to complete us.

Ace may have been the supposed bad boy player type before all this started, but he soon became more of the house boyfriend that caters to our girlfriend 24/7 type. I don't know how it happened but it seemed like the roles of me being the soft caring boyfriend soon turned towards Ace. Seeing as he jumped at every little thing to do when it came to our rose.

Me on the other hand, I was fine with watching over her myself being the overprotective boyfriend between the two of us. But I also had my head on straight when it came to going back to my job of being the CEO of my company. My life may be hectic but I still knew how to balance my personal life and my business at the same time.

I don't know what type of job Ace was gonna have now that he stopped traveling the world trying to get his fill of every type of woman there was across the globe. But it seemed like he liked cooking and tending to our rose more than trying to find a job. Some times he'd try to help out with my company but then his brain would turn back into caring boyfriend mode and would drop everything as soon as our rose was up and needed to get something done.

By the smile on her face whenever he was there at her every beck and call, I'd say she more than enjoys watching him fumble over himself by rushing to her aid. But I was the brain between the two of us and I had to make sure if he was gonna try to fit the job of being co-CEO in my company, he'd have to be fully there to stay.

I wasn't gonna let my brother drop everything in an instant just because she couldn't reach the tv remote or something. So I'd make him stay put in the room, even if I had to lock the room itself to make sure he finished his work that had to be done. There was no way I was gonna let him half ass anything under my watch.

Our family's legacy and hard work helped create the largely known company I now own myself. And I wasn't gonna let a love sick fool get in the way of it still being successful. Which meant I also had to put myself in business mode when it came to handling business matters as well. I couldn't lose focus of what my job was and that's the exact way my brother should be if he wants to stay and help by my side.

"I can't wait to call my assistant to start letting me know when I can go back to planning and helping out all my employees. I feel like it's been ages since I've stepped foot into my office!" Rose gasps excitedly going back to typing on her laptop.

"What exactly do you do at the company you work under?" Ace asks laying next to her as I check my emails on my phone.

"You see all these? It may seem like minor things to some people but for me I love to help my employees create the brands and materials that they design for me. I know most celebrities and stuff just hire people to make them stuff and slap their name on it as a final product to make money. But I prefer to be hands on and fully involved when it comes to things like this"

As she rambles on about her business, I walk out of the room after noticing one of the emails in large bold letters that made my eyes widen.

I know I shouldn't be doing this at all considering how much of a shock this might be. Plus with all the drama in our lives now, I doubt my rose will ever accept this idea I have as of now. But I just can't seem to stop thinking about this. I already know my brother, being the identical twin to me with similar thoughts, would definitely go along with what I'm looking at. But the only problem is would our rose?
