Ch.6 Jealousy

POV: Dimitri

I'd heard of jealousy, of course. I'd seen it before in real life and portrayed in dramas. I'd read about it in books. But I'd never experienced it.

Up until that point, I'd never understood how real jealousy felt like. Then Adrian Ivashkov entered the life of my charge and student, and then my torture started.

I had to watch as he gave hers bouquets of flowers, bought her boxes of perfume. Everything I could never do. When I wanted to buy something for her, I had to take extra shifts and save up. He, on the other, could just place an order online and wait for it to be delivered. He didn't have to worry about the cost.

And then, I couldn't do anything when he gave her them. I couldn't strangle him like I wanted for looking at my Roza. Even though I knew she loved me, as she had told me so many times before, it took every bit of my self control not to throttle him.

So I learned my lesson. I was jealous of Adrian for being able to have a relationship with Rose and I was powerless to stop it from happening.
