Chapter 7: A First Step “Nice to meet you, Derek Reynolds,” she smiled at Derek, who stared at her in fear and shock. His mouth was wide open, and his face showed fear, shock, and horror.Derek stared at the most unexpected figure, as he tried to figure out if he was dreaming or seeing things. As his eyes stayed on Rose, his mind reflected on what had happened five years ago—the night he and Sofia had pushed her down into the ocean. He was certain he had seen her drown into the depths of the ocean, so definitely, he was obviously seeing things, because there was no way Rose could be back.“Are you alright, sir?” a voice pierced into his chain of thoughts, pulling him back to reality. “You have been absent-minded; are you sure you are okay, sir?” The voice proceeded.Derek stared stupidly for a while before letting out a reply. “I am fine,” he said, his eyes not leaving Rose, who only returned a smile.“Are you really okay? You seem flustered,” Rose spoke up, her eyes glittering aroun

Chapter 6: The Beginning of Torment The evening air swept through the sky, giving a chilly sensation to the pedestrians on the street. The evening was beautiful and sang nothing but the beauty of nature. Few people walked up and down the streets, and cars zoomed to their destinations. Among the cars that drove to their destinations was a black-tinted Benz, the latest released one.The well-designed tires of the car synced rhythmically with the floor, and its beauty shone off. Inside the car sat a woman dressed in a black suit. Her composure and beauty could capture the heart of any man, even if his heart was made of stone. The suit hung beautifully and elegantly on her skin, and her long, flowy trousers attested to the beauty of the dress.Her black, shiny hair was beautifully styled, and her face was covered in natural makeup. Her ears, wrists, and neck were decorated with golden ornaments, and her legs were enclosed in golden heels.“Miss Rose, we are here already,” Rose’s driver s

Chapter 5: An Appointment Rose’s eyes lit up as she picked up the call. Her hands simultaneously lifted the phone to her ears, and her lips puffed out a calm “Hello.”“Hello!” the caller stammered out from the other end, realizing the phone had been picked.“Is this Miss Rose?” the feminine voice of the caller proceeded, her voice slightly filled with desperation.Rose chuckled before she replied, “Yes, I am. How can I help you?”“Oh my gosh! Finally! I have been trying to call you for ages, so I can fix an appointment with you, ma,” the caller stuttered from the other end.“Okay. What’s the deal? What’s so urgent that you want to discuss with me?” Rose’s voice was calm but dangerous. She already knew who was calling and why, so she just had to play along now.“Ma, please, we really need you in our company. My boss wants to meet you desperately,” the caller continued.“Your boss wants to meet me desperately? I hope there’s no problem?”“Oh no, not at all, ma. I promise you that the m

Chapter 4: Who is she?Rose POV….My black-colored Rolls-Royce Boatail drove into the parking lot, it tyres screening as it did.At the back of the car, I was seated, and my two little kids sat next to me. I was dressed In an elegant black silk gown, black heels, and a black hat.A gold necklace sat on my neck, and my ears were decorated with a matching gold earring. A gold bracelet sat beautifully on my left hand, and my right hand held onto my black designer bag.“We are here, ma,” my driver voice cooled out, his eyes focused on mine through the front mirror.“Phew!” I heaved with a sweet smile. “It’s finally good to be home,” I giggled, and my beauty shone forth as I did.With a swift motive, I turned to my children, who were sitting next to me and operating on their iPad, and said, “Do you want to explore NYC?” The kids lifted their heads up and nodded in delight.I smiled and patted my kids on their head. “Let’s get off then,” I smiled and led the kids out of the car.“Is this ou

Chapter 3: Such a fool5 years on……Derek sat in his office operating on his system, his blue eyes pierced into his computer as he typed in words. Even as the AC cooled down, beads of sweat could still be found looming around his well structured face, making it obvious that he was In a hot seat.As he worked, his office door cracked open, revealing Sofia, his now wife. She had a sweet smile on her face as she walked up to him and placed a light peck on his cheek. “You have been in this position since morning; wouldn’t you take a break? You need rest,” Sofia said softly as she took the seat opposite him.Derek let out a smile before replying “I wish I could, but you see, no one can handle this business deal the way I can. We really need this deal, honey. Not only will it make us richer, but it will also give us more clients,” Derek explained, his eyes still fixed on the computer.“Ok, I understand you perfectly well, but still, you need to stop stressing yourself so bad. Besides, we al

Chapter 2: Shocking RevelationI stared at the one person I never expected would snitch on me with shock. I stared at my aunt in shock, unable to believe what I was seeing.I thought I might be dreaming; everything felt like a dream, and I prayed so hard to wake up from such a horrible dream if I was really dreaming. Because there’s no way Sofia, my aunt is the reason Derek divorced me.There’s no way Sofia, my Aunt, could betray me this badly and date Derek behind my back. Everything was just a great shock to me.“Surprised?” Derek’s sudden question snatched me back to reality, and that was when it began to settle in: I wasn’t dreaming; this is reality, and it’s truly playing out in front of me.My aunt, and my only one family left, really betrayed me. I could feel tears clouding my eyes as I stared at my aunt making silly faces at me.“Surprised?” her voice resounded in my ears. I battled my eyes as I tried to fight back the tears, but it was impossible to do so; I let them flow fre
