Chapter 67: A Broken Glass. “You know, when he told me that he would be getting married to you, I thought he was lying,” he led Rose to the dining table and pulled out a chair for her to sit. Rose smiled at his kind gesture as she took her seat. She turned to Mr. Reynolds and said, “Thanks for having me.”“Oh, my dear Rose, you don’t have to be thankful,” Mr. Reynolds smiled and took his own seat. “So, how have you been?” he questioned, his eyes fixed on Rose as he awaited a response from her.“I have been good, Mr. Reynolds,” Rose replied with a forced smile. “I am a bit disappointed in you, anyway,” Mr. Reynolds said with a sad pout this time around. And as Rose wondered what she had done to him, her mind almost exploded. “What does he know?” she wondered.“I am sad because you just stopped working for me without informing me, and when I call you, you don’t even respond to my calls,” Mr. Reynolds said sadly, and Rose took in a deep breath. For a while, she thought she was in tr

Chapter 66: A Feast Rose sat in front of her mirror, taking in her beauty. Her face was highlighted with light makeup, and her body was designed in a long, flowy black gown. Her neck, ears, and wrist were decorated with gold jewelry, and on her feet sat a beautiful diamond shoe. Her face held satisfaction as she stared at her beautiful reflection in the mirror. Her eyes quickly moved to the wall clock, and she muttered something to herself: “It’s already 12:00 p.m. When is this jerk showing up?” “Must he always be late to everything? He hasn’t really dropped this old habit of his,” she hissed. She was already having enough of Derek.As she sat there, still reeling on the next step to take, her phone, resting in front of the dressing mirror, rang, alerting her of a call. Quickly, she picked the phone from the table and took the call after discovering it was Derek. “You should have slept in your house. Didn’t I tell you that I don’t have enough time, because my kids will be back

Chapter 65: Track Them“I will quickly tell you what I have to say and take my leave, since the kids don’t like me,” Derek turned to Rose and said. He took in a deep breath and went straight to the point. “My grandfather wants to see you and me tomorrow, and we need to come as lovers,” Derek hit the nail on the head.He bowed his head and waited for Rose’s response. He was unsure of how she would react.“Huh? As lovers?” Rose screamed, forgetting the kids were there. “Mom! What is it? You look surprised?” Ken chimed in, and that was when Rose realized the kids were there. She turned to him shyly and faked a smile. “I will just talk to him outside,” she excused herself and walked outside, while Derek trailed behind.“What the hell are you saying? Your grandfather wants us to come see him as lovers?” Rose hissed as they got outside. “ Yes, Rose. I didn’t want to do this either, but I have no choice,” Derek replied.“He thought I was lying when I told him I would be getting married t

Chapter 64: We hate him, mom.Derek walked back to his car, devastated. What his grandfather asked him to do was almost impossible. “How do he expect I and Rose to act as lovers when she hates me so much?” he thought to himself, his eyes itched with worry.“I find it hard even convincing her to come see my grandfather with me, talk more of asking her to act as lovers. Gosh! This is frustrating,” he scratched his head angrily.He finally got to his car and got in after his driver pulled the door open. “You can’t open the door properly,” he knocked his driver, venting his frustration on him.The young man scratched his head as the effect of the knock sank in. “You can’t just do anything properly,” Derek mumbled, already sitting inside the car.The driver apologized for what he didn’t do wrong and rushed to the driver’s seat. He got in and ignited the car engine. “Don’t take me home,” Derek said as his driver drove out of the parking lot.“I will tell you where to take me, so just dri

Chapter 63: A ProveDerek walked down from his car after his driver opened the door. He wore a black suit that fitted perfectly to his muscular body; his legs were baptized with a tuxedo black shoe that gave more details to his dressing. His eyes were enclosed with dark sunglasses, and his hair was finely brushed back.As he walked out of the car, he stood close to the car and stared at the huge building in front of him before he let out a deep sigh. He had come to inform his grandfather about the good news of him getting married to the mother of his kids, as he had always wanted.Without waiting another second, he took bold steps into the building. “Good morning, sir,” his grandfather’s workers greeted him as he walked into the building. He would acknowledge some of the greetings and ignore others.After walking for what seemed like an eternity to him, he finally arrived at his grandfather’s office. He gave a light knock on the door and waited for his old man to give a response

Chapter 62: One Last TimeAs her response hit Derek, he cooled down immediately, as if he had been drenched with a cold bath. “O-oh, you went to hang out?” he stuttered, and Sofia nodded. “Yes, I went to hangout, but it seems you don’t like it,” Sofia faked sadness.“I am so sorry, Sofia. I am sorry for shouting at you like you are a baby; I was just concerned….” Sofia cut him off. “It’s nothing, Derek. I totally understand your worry, but I am on my way home already,” Sofia smiled.“Really? But I hope you didn’t have to cut your fun to return home,” Derek questioned, feeling quite guilty. He wasn't feeling guilty only because of how he spoke to his wife, but also because he was going to reveal a sad truth to her.“Yes, baby, you didn’t cut my fun,” she assured with a bright smile on her face. “Okay, I will see you when you get home; I have something really important to tell you,” Derek finally stuttered, after gathering all the courage left in him.“Something important?” Sofia c
