ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★I groaned loudly as the incessant caller refused to stop calling. Isn't it too early to be calling someone at this hour of the morning?I struggled to open my eyes against the blinding sun, reaching out to grab the phone and answer the call without checking the caller ID."This is way too early to be calling, whoever you are. I'm busy," I mumbled groggily."Have you been drinking? What happened to you?" I heard my mum's voice, prompting me to stand up immediately and check the caller ID."Mum? I'm so sorry, I didn't check who was calling," I apologized."Do you even know what time it is? You were crying over the phone when you called your dad and me. Is everything okay? You scared us last night," Mum yelled.As I checked the time and realized it was already past one, memories of the previous day at the company flooded back, causing me to let out a heavy sigh."Is everything alright, Rosa?" I heard my dad's concerned voice."Of course, dad. You know how I get when I

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★The past few days have been incredibly busy and stressful, with back-to-back meetings and a packed schedule causing me to often come home late but Jeremy always waits for me in the living room, ensuring I arrive safely after work.As I parked my car to grab a coffee before going to work, a sudden crash behind me jolted me out of my routine, prompting me to quickly exit the vehicle and check the source of the noise."Damn it! What have I done this early morning?" I exclaimed as I realized I had collided with the front of another person's car. The driver, a lady, swiftly exited her vehicle to inspect the damage."I humbly apologize for the damage I've caused. How can I compensate for this?" I inquired as a woman in her sixties emerged from the car, likely the owner, while the other lady appeared to be her driver."It's okay, you don't need to pay for anything," she replied calmly before turning to her driver. "Get in the car and let's go." With that, they returned to

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★I am still puzzled as to why Jeremy give me hickey on my neck, leaving yet another mark. Standing in front of the mirror, I winced as I touched the spot. His actions that night prevented me from fully enjoying the party and socializing with others."I regret running my mouth that night, he's incredibly jealous," I lamented, wincing in discomfort.I cursed under my breath and sighed as I stepped out of the bathtub, frustrated by the persistent hickey on my neck that had forced me to wear high-necked dresses for the past two days. I cringed at the memory of Gran catching us that night, feeling utterly embarrassed. Despite my attempts to stop him and informing him about Grandma, he only relented when I finally managed to push him away and escape into the room.Today being Saturday, I planned to go out and have a little fun alone since Carrie was away and also visit my mom and dad. I eagerly dressed and made my way downstairs for breakfast."Good morning, Grandma! I'm

JEREMY LIGHTWOOD★"That's will be all for today's meeting". I ended the meeting with the executive directors and headed back to my office. "Any details on him?"I asked Mike, referring to Jason.Since the time Jason became one of the managing directors of this company, Mike, my assistant has always kept eyes on him on my command."No, Mr Lightwood " He answered."I guess he knows I'm keeping an eyes on him, he must have a plan of being here"I said."What's on my schedule next?" I inquired."You have an international conference call scheduled in 30 minutes, sir," he replied."Miss Clara has already arrived, sir," he informed me, to which I nodded in acknowledgment.Shortly after a gentle knock on the door, Clara entered, where she stood poised in her professional corporate outfit."You asked for my presence, Mr. Lightwood," she stated."Drop the act. I've called you here to clarify some matters," I declared, and she nodded in understanding."I knew you couldn't just summon me, especial

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★Arriving home early in the evening after a successful meeting with the models for the upcoming fashion shows I'll be having, I packed my car and headed straight to my room. Noticing the car Jeremy drove to work was still absent, it dawned on me that he hadn't returned from work yet, while Gran had been diligently visiting orphanages to provide for those in need.As I made my way to my room, the sound of Gran's door opening caught my attention."Welcome back, Gran! I didn't realize you were already home," I greeted her."Yes, I am. How was your day at the fashion house?" she asked."Busy and exhausting, as usual," I replied with a tired yawn."Let me whip up something for you, you look exhausted," Gran offered, but I declined with a shake of my head."I'll manage, Gran, I'm fine for tonight," I reassured her with a smile."However, I can help you with Jeremy's meal since I assume you'll be tired too. Let me freshen up first," I suggested, preparing to leave."Did y

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★Last night felt surreal, almost as if it had been meticulously choreographed, but I was grateful to discover Jeremy by my side in the shadows instead of an unwelcome visitor. I vividly recall my initial startle at the shadowy figure in front of me, only to find relief in realizing it was Jeremy and not an intruder lurking in the darkness, ready to harm me.I remembered the men in the house quickly coming in to apologize to us about the blackout stating it was the whole city and met us in the same position."Go ahead, you can head back," he reassured the security last night. Just as I was preparing to get down, he unexpectedly wrapped my hands around his neck and positioned my legs securely on his waist."What's going on?" I inquired."Didn't you miss me?" he playfully questioned as he ascended the stairs, prompting an eye roll from me."Set me down," I insisted, breaking free and stepping away."I recommend giving me a call before your business trip next time," I s

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★I slowly opened my eyes to find Jeremy still peacefully asleep beside me, his scent enveloping me as I wore his shirt. The events of the previous night had unfolded in a whirlwind of desire and lust. One thing I never wanted was to regret what transpired last night, but I was mistaken in my belief that it wouldn't haunt me. My eyes were drawn to my shoulder, where the memories of last night replayed vividly in my mind. The rain from yesterday felt like a veil, concealing the truth of what had transpired. It seemed that this was a shared desire between us, and nothing else mattered."This is merely a ploy to shield the company from Jason's schemes. Most shareholders wants him on my sit for his potential to produce an heir, or once they discover he's married and I'm not. I'll do whatever it takes to protect my reputation," I remembered his words again, his words piercing my heart.Giving my parents gifts wasn't inherently wrong, his actions were clearly designed to

JEREMY LIGHTWOOD★It's already the month of Christmas, and as we approach the New Year, it marks a year since Rosalind and I have been together. I promised her that we would part ways quietly, without anyone knowing—even Grandma remains unaware of our decision.I'm still uncertain about my feelings for her, and that's not the clarity I had hoped for; that fateful one-night stand transformed everything the moment I met her, and now we find ourselves on the brink of ending a year together.I recalled the evening when Dad and I had a talk, during which I mentioned that I wasn't in love with anyone, all the while concealing the truth that there was that particular lady that had captured my heart from the moment we met. "Mr. Lightwood, I've already made the arrangements for the business trip to Paris," my assistant informed me, interrupting my thoughts, and I nodded in acknowledgment to what he had said.I have a two-day business trip to Paris that I must attend before Christmas, but my o
