Perfect Match: Irresistible Desire For You -
Chapter 305
“Return to your ranks immediately.” Rosa looked at each of the trembling faces of the cadets and pointed her finger at them. “Bear in mind that whoever disobeys my command will suffer the consequences. Whoever has a problem with that, stand out and speak your piece.”
She was calm, but her overbearing presence, further magnified by her military threads, terrified everyone in the area. Not a single sound escaped from their mouths.
According to last year’s report, an arrogant male soldier made the mistake of getting on Rosa’s bad side. Later that same day, he had been dealt with violently. Many other high-ranking officers had questioned the Major’s extreme disciplinary actions and rough methods. But no matter what the critics had fired at her, they couldn’t argue with the positive results. All her students fell in line and treated her with the utmost respect.
News of the punishment spread like wildfire in the military base. With every gory detail of the vicious beating passed around their ranks, the new recruits knew better than to cross their drillmaster.
Her beautiful features resembled an angel, but her nasty temperament was that of a devil. Rosa would never hesitate to punish a rule breaker. She always stayed true to her word.
Widely known to her students as ‘annihilator’, Rosa continued to walk back and forth, staring at every individual with soulless eyes. Aside from the traditional drills, she added some practices and tests that sounded simple but were actually difficult to carry out.
“Enough of the delays. The formal training officially begins right at this moment. Stand at attention.
Turn back and take one step forward.”
At Rosa’s command, the thunderous sound of multiple footsteps boomed throughout the grounds, leaving dust in their wake.
“Chin up, shoulders back and chest out. Keep your arms at your sides, eyes straight ahead, and remain still.” Within seconds, Rosa’s tall figure slipped into the ranks to ensure compliance. “Stand at attention, everyone. It seems that the lazy number forty-nine needs to be kicked in the a*s. I’ll deal with him right now.”
“Yes, madam!” the soldiers shouted in unison.
Satisfied with her inspection of the cadets, Rosa walked away from the lines towards the nearby track.
When Rosa came within ear-shot, number forty-nine slowed down his pace to meet her.
“Hey, Ro…Rosa. It’s me. We meet again.” The hoarse voice sounded familiar, and that particular charming tone quickly gave the man’s identity away.
Right before Rosa’s eyes, Mike showed a tired smile. He was number forty-nine.
“Are you out of your mind? What the hell are you doing here?” There was a hint of disdain in Rosa’s face as she stood with her hands behind her back. They were in a different kind of environment now and needed to keep their distance from each other.
Even with her nerves of steel, Rosa couldn’t refrain from looking bewildered momentarily upon Mike’s sudden appearance. He was the last person she expected to see at her training camp.
But it soon dawned on her that Mike could come and go in the army base as he pleased with his abundance of powerful ties and connections. She also didn’t discount the great lengths he would take just to see her. After all, the man would do anything to win her heart.
“I seemed to have underestimated your rash and impulsive attitude.” Mike shot her a reproachful look. “You put me through all that suffering just because I didn’t shout my number loud enough. I had to count off one hundred times! My goodness! My poor throat is killing me. Even more ridiculous was the fact that I had to run multiple laps just because my voice was too low for your liking. All that sprinting is unfair! Are you training our bodies or our voices? This is the first time I’ve encountered such a merciless and domineering control-freak!”
When Mike finished airing his frustrations and stopped to catch his breath, Rosa calmly crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows. “Are you done?”
“Of course not! In fact, I’m just starting!” with a heaving chest, Mike shouted again.
“Okay then. Go ahead, and I’ll listen. Take your time.” Rosa kept a straight face and observed the distressed man in front of her.
“I didn’t commit any mistake. It’s just your standards are set unreasonably high. I’m also beginning to wonder if your punishment depends on your mood and whether you like the person or not. You’re a shameless drillmaster, and I’m calling you out for your cruelty!” His hands were shaking in anger. Mike was visibly upset with the unfair treatment.
‘Why did I have to suffer because of something so trivial? It’s outrageous! This is definitely an abuse of authority.’ Countless complaints ran through Mike’s head, infuriating him even more.
“I see that you do have a lot left in the tank. Is my punishment too easy for you?” With a serious expression on her face, Rosa inched closer to him and spoke slowly. “Well, look who’s talking. Am I really the shameless one between the two of us? Isn’t it unethical to impersonate a soldier? I’m a freak? You’re the true freak who has nothing else to do but stalk a woman all day long. This military base is my home, and you’re in my training camp, which means you have to abide by my rules. Anyone who has a problem with my program can get the hell out of my sight.”
All the while, Rosa’s expression remained stern and unflinching. There was no trace of emotion in her voice, but a sense of danger suddenly filled the air. Something terrible was about to happen.
Mike quickly picked up on the warning signs and immediately shut his mouth. He wanted to live another day.
“You only have two options here. Either you go home and be a CEO, or be an obedient number forty-nine and fall in line. I’ll give you three seconds to think about it.”
In no time at all, Mike cleared his throat and spoke loudly. “I want to stay here as number forty-nine.”
He recalled a wise saying that left a lasting impression on his mind. The quote said, “The lack of forbearance in small matters upsets great plans.” If Mike truly wished to end up with the fierce woman, he had to weather any storm and overcome all obstacles that prevented him from reaching his goal.
“This is your last chance to quit. Are you sure about your decision?” Rosa asked in a grave tone.
“Yes, of course.” The sincerity and confidence in his voice were unmistakable. The young man wanted to prove himself to the drillmaster.
After seemingly getting lost in his handsome face, Rosa suddenly broke the silence and roared, “Who told you to stop running? Get back at it! Do six laps again with no breaks!
Keep in mind that you are under my command. I’m the authority at this place and you’re soldier number forty-nine. Within these training grounds, your a*s belongs to me. Get with the program and be man enough to stick to your decision. There’s no backing out now, so I expect that you put in the work immediately. Don’t let me catch you goofing around, or there will be hell to pay.”
Mike opened his mouth to answer back but decided against it at the last second. It was the smartest thing he had done so far.
Facing the steely-eyed Rosa, he adjusted his tone and informed her of his progress, “Madam, I’ve already completed two laps.”
“Do you call that running? I know kids who can sprint twice as fast.” Underneath her obvious resentment, there was a hint of tenderness on her face.
The military uniform he wore paired with the obedient expression on his face was extremely out of character for Mike. Although the overall look fit his tall frame and heroic spirit well, it was far from his usual suit and tie attire that Rosa had been accustomed to seeing. She couldn’t help but be slightly amused at the awkward sight.
“Yes, madam!” Mike ignored the insult and answered her question respectfully.
“It took ten minutes for you to complete those two laps. You should be ashamed of yourself! Even a snail is faster than you,” Rosa taunted relentlessly.
“Wait, but I….”
“It’s a soldier’s duty to obey orders, fulfill tasks, and satisfy his superiors. I am the commanding officer of this class, and you are the pathetic number forty-nine. It’s disrespectful to talk back and perform poorly under my watch.”
Rosa’s arrogance and aggressiveness were at full display. She threw nasty remarks in Mike’s face and continued to humiliate him, leaving him utterly shocked and terrified. It was a painful scene to behold.
No man was foolish enough to fire a retort or challenge the ruthless drillmaster, especially not in her foul mood. Mike was left with no other choice but to swallow his pride and shout in agreement, “Yes, madam!”
Before the despondent Mike could even take off, Rosa barked orders once again, “Finish it in ten minutes, or else you’ll repeat from the very beginning. Once you somehow manage to complete this task, immediately count off fifty times at the top of your lungs before you return to your respective line.”
Seeing that Mike’s character and will were finally at the brink of defeat, she walked away and left him alone in the cold. However, her cruel words remained with him.
‘Twenty-four thousand meters in just ten minutes? It’s impossible! This woman is clearly insane! How could she be so merciless? Does she even have a heart?’ As the seconds began ticking away, Mike didn’t have time to complain. He immediately ran as fast as his exhausted legs would allow, hoping by some miracle to accomplish the task at hand.
‘Now that you have willingly put yourself under my command, how could I resist in making your life a living hell? I will be sure to savor each moment of this rare opportunity. Time to show me what you’re made of.’ Once she turned around, Rosa smiled wickedly as evil thoughts entered her mind.
‘Mike, the next ten days will be full of pain, misery and suffering. I will make you wish we never met. Finally, I have something special to look forward to in this training camp. I can’t wait to torture you and teach you a lesson!’
