Rosella’s POV

Although, I hate the idea of going to a party organized by Olivia and her minions, but the getting ready process allowed me to see Mirable after some days.

I knew she was working so I didn’t want to disturb her but I can’t help but feel I caused such a mess that night at the club. After all it was my exclusive idea to drag her along, she was against it and look what a mess happened.

Maybe it was because of guilt but I didn’t communicate with her like I normally do when we go for dress fitting and styling. Or maybe I just didn’t have anything to say because my mind was busy thinking of Felix. I still haven’t reached out to him and I wondered if he would even have me.

“All done” The attendant announced and I stared in the mirror. I looked stunning but my countenance wasn’t on par with my looks.

“Mirable…” The moment I called her she had a call and shot me an apologetic look. It was a business call so I understood and while she left to take it I also left to attend th

    Rosella’s POV The whole place rested in silence. The type that was mixed with unimaginable shock. Olivia had the biggest shock written on her face and I wasn’t exempted from the mortifying experience.Of course, only Donovan had a relaxed expression. Why wouldn’t he? After he had successfully sabotaged my life?!Before anyone could speak another word he dragged me by the hands and headed straight for the car where he literally bundled me inside and circled the car to take his position behind the wheel. Any day this man drives, my life is filled with one unfortunate scene after the other! “Donovan what is the meaning of this?! How could you tell everyone about that?! I told you we are actually married! Do you know the gravity of what you just did?!”Clearly, I was the only one pissed. Donovan had his brows relaxed, he looked especially pleased with the outcome of his thoughtless actions and I was the only one raging like a dog! He didn’t even have the decency of responding to my wor

At most I would stay with you until a driver arrives”“No! I want you to take me home”He stubbornly tightened his grip around my waist and I felt a headache coming. I could barely breathe properly but that was the least of my problems right now. “This isn’t the time to be selfish! -”“How is it that wanting to be with my wife is selfish? Am I not even allowed that much?” His voice sounded muffled buried inside my neck and I genuinely felt speechless. All my attempts to make him forget that was meaningless were proven futile, he called me his wife with so much conviction that it felt almost illegal to keep on rejecting.“You heard what Felix said. It’s an emergency so I need to -”“Are you his doctor? What would you do if you go? How would you help?! I’m in this situation because of you. I took the drink in your stead an

    Rosella’s POV I couldn’t say another word before he kissed me again. The truth was, even if I wanted to fight against my desires and make a run for it, there was simply no way out. He had me trapped underneath his body and it was clear there was no escape for me, still, I tried!“Donn… I’m not ovulating right now. Remember our agreement, you have to keep it” I said in a hurry, why wouldn’t I? He seemed extremely impatient, he already had his head buried in my chest.It was hard enough for me to focus and bud actions weren’t helping matters. “Isn’t that what you want?” His movements stopped and he locked eyes with me. His gaze was hazy but the desires in them were clear as day. I gulped subconsciously and his watchful eyes followed the lump on my neck. The already ignited tension fueled even more and I couldn’t help but inquire.“What do you mean?”There was a moment of silence, his eyes were searching mine and when he realized I really had no idea, he finally spilled the tea.

    Rosella’s POV What should I make of this? How is my birthday the passcode to his most secret possessions?I didn’t want to answer these questions and kept my head on the price. I walked into the room and saw the shelves arranged accordingly with stacks of documents labeled alphabetically. “I have to be fast” I followed the arrangement and found the document lying there. For a split second I hesitated, the thought of putting an end to my plans and going back to bed tugged my heart but I closed my eyes and hardened my heart. “I promised to find my father’s killer with concrete evidence so I can’t be swayed by unnecessary emotions” With this thought I grabbed the document and exited the room and I didn’t look back as I exited Castilo Manor while placing a call to Marcus.“Hello”“I got the papers”I overheard him release a dry laugh and I had every right to be worried about that! But then again, when has Marcus ever been normal?“I’ll come pick you up. Stay put” Like I had a cho

    The next day came and Rosella laid awake on the king-sized bed. Her eyes were wide open but she didn’t feel alive. Strangely as it seemed she felt like a part of her was missing and she couldn’t stop her gaze was darting to the empty space beside her. Everything felt different, even the smell felt foreign to what she’s been used to for the past months. What is this feeling? She wondered. It made her heart void and at the same time it felt heavy. How was it possible to experience such?She couldn’t wrap her head around it, she just lay there slowly moving her hand to the empty space. “What am I doing?” She groaned in frustration and retracted her hand before hurriedly getting out of bed.“I’m not thinking straight right now, that must be it! I didn’t sleep well so that makes sense”Even though she said this, she still moved like a ghost to the bathroom, did her business and went down for breakfast. There the maid informed her that Marcus had already left. That was good news to

Did he think he was doing me a favor by bringing me here? I’m guessing he’s the one who wants to play so bad but he’s trying to use me as a shield. “Why don’t you stop the act and have fun, I’ll be here watching” I smiled halfway and she really took offense by my speech. “You’re so ungrateful…” He mumbled but I heard it clearly. “Did I ever ask to come here?” My tone was a bit harsh in this regard and his eyes narrowed to critic my manner but I didn’t care. “I never asked you to bring me here, if you want to play then go ahead, I’ll be right here”He looked at me for a while longer and chuckled. A move that made my brows wrinkle in annoyance.“So you’re still pained by the fact of being abandoned by your Mother at an Amazement park”His wo

Despite my confused and shock-stricken expression Marcus looked unbothered. He even leaned further and added “Didn’t you know you had a stalker all along? That’s quite disappointing”I was too stunned to care about his nonchalant tone. “Y-you mean Donovan has known me for a long time, I mean, watching me for a long time?!”Instead of replying Marcus shrugged “I should be asking you that, Rose. Did you never find it strange how people who offended you suddenly apologized or disappeared?”My hands flew to clasps my mouth in horror. This means the guardian angel I thought I had was actually Donovan?!This is ridiculous!“You wanted to know why I’m after Donovan. It turns out I have something in common with you, Rose. You see, Donovan killed my father”My figure stiffened, this was a lot to take in already and now this. I needed a moment to

He’s a f*cking lunatic who’s been obsessed with you since forever"Our midst fell in silence for a moment, I needed a while to take it in and ask. “How do you know this, Marcus? You seem to know so much about this”“Donovan and I used to be close friends growing up. Are you satisfied now? Go inside and rest I’ll take care of it”His command made me scoff in vexation.“No! I’d like to speak with Donovan, I have some questions that need answers, now!”He didn’t take my words lightly, he suddenly grabbed my shoulders and his gaze became unbelievably scary.“This isn

The hope of her waking up was the only thread holding them together, yet it felt too thin, too fragile.Rosella’s knees buckled, her strength waning, but Donovan’s strong arms shot out and caught her before she could collapse completely. His grip on her was firm yet gentle, his eyes filled with concern. “You need to rest,” he murmured softly, but she barely heard him, her mind too occupied with the image of her mother bleeding out in her arms.The room where their mother was moved to was quiet, save for the beeping of machines and the faint rustle of nurses shuffling about. The doctor informed them that they could visit, but before they could take a step, Mirable turned to Rosella and Donovan, her expression conflicted. “Rosella… c

The air seemed to thicken, bullets zipping past her in the ensuing firefight. She didn't flinch.The world blurred, focusing solely on the woman bleeding out in her arms. ‘Why did she throw herself in front of me?’ Rosella’s mind was pinned on this thought. "Mom! Stay with me!" she screamed, shaking her gently. Blood seeped through her mother's dress, staining Rosella's hands and knees. "Please, don't close your eyes, don't do this to me!"Her mother's eyes fluttered open, her irises clouded with pain yet filled with a strange serenity. "Rosella..."

    The tension in the air was suffocating, thick enough to choke. The small warehouse echoed with the sound of guns cocking and men shifting into position. The stale scent of sweat, gunpowder, and mildew permeated the room, clinging to the skin like an unwelcome reminder of the danger that loomed.Rosella could barely breathe as she sat on the floor, her wrists raw from the ropes that had only recently been removed by Marcus, her heart thundering in her chest.Her mother was beside her, pale and trembling, though her gaze flickered with a strange kind of strength. Across the room, Odessa stood tall, her arms crossed and her expression cool but edged with irritation as she surveyed the chaos she had orchestrated.In the middle of it all stood Marcus, he suddenly rushed in holding a gun that wavered between two targets, Donovan and his mother, Odessa. His jaw was clenched, his brow furrowed, and his breathing uneven as he wrestled with the storm of emotions raging inside him."Marcus," O

    Rosella was slumped against the cold wall of the dimly lit room, her wrists sore from the ropes digging into her skin. The air was damp and carried the faint metallic tang of rust and decay. The room itself was barren save for a flickering bulb overhead, casting long, ominous shadows across the cracked concrete walls. Every creak of the floor, every distant muffled noise made her flinch, the tension wrapping around her like a vice.Odessa stood before her, her figure imposing despite the elegant tailored suit she wore. Her heels clicked sharply against the floor as she paced, the sound filling the otherwise silent room. Her lips curled into a smirk, and her dark eyes gleamed with satisfaction. She looked every bit the predator who had cornered her prey.“You must be wondering,” Odessa began, her voice smooth but laced with venom, “why I hate Donovan so much. Why I’ve gone to such lengths to tear him down.” She paused, her gaze flickering to Rosella, who stared back with defiance despi

    Rosella's breath caught in her throat as her gaze locked onto the older woman slumped nearby. For a moment, time seemed to freeze. Mirable's mother, her mother was sitting just feet away, her head bowed, her blonde hair falling limply over her face.The revelation felt like a sucker punch to the gut. This wasn't just a coincidence or some cruel game Odessa was playing. The truth was undeniable. The woman who had shielded Mirable with her life during the earlier chaos, the woman whose face seemed strangely familiar from the moment Rosella laid eyes on her was the same woman who had abandoned her as a child.Her mother.Rosella's heart thundered in her chest as a whirlwind of emotions tore through her.Shock, betrayal, anger, and the faintest hint of longing all fought for dominance.She clenched her fists against the ropes binding her, her nails digging into her palms as she fought back tears.Across the room, Odessa’s smirk widenedas she basked in the tension.

    Rosella’s world felt drenched in icy water as her senses came alive. She gasped, her body jerking against the tight ropes that bound her to the cold, damp floor. The sharp sting of water dripping from her hair to her skin left her shivering, but the real coldness came from the person standing over her.Emma.A wicked smile stretched across Emma’s face as she held an empty bucket, her gleeful eyes mocking Rosella’s misery. “Good, you’re awake,” she said, tossing the bucket aside carelessly. The clang echoed in the dimly lit room, its harsh sound amplifying the tension in the air.Rosella’s eyes darted around, panic rising in her chest.

    Rosella paced her room, the plush carpet muffling the frantic huffs of her breaths. Her heart raced in sync with her thoughts, each beat heavier than the last. Donovan’s warning to stay indoors had seemed simple enough at first, but as the hours passed, unease wrapped around her like a suffocating fog. Why wouldn’t he or Franklin answer her calls? What was happening out there?The vibration of her phone jolted her from her thoughts. Snatching it from the table, she saw the name Dalgliesh Residence flashing on the screen. Her breath hitched.“Hello?” she answered, her voice trembling.“Miss Rosella,” the voice on the other end was panicked, rushed. “It’s Mr. Dalgliesh. He’s collapsed, been rushed to St. James Hospital. It’s bad… very bad.”Rosella felt her knees weaken, her free hand gripping the edge of the desk for support. “Collapsed? What happened?!”“We don’t know yet. The doctors are trying their best, but…” The voice faltered, leaving the grim implication hanging in the air.Ros

Could he even look Daisy in the eye after what he was about to say? She stood a few steps away, her face a mixture of hope and hesitation. Did she feel the same tension in the air, the same heaviness that sat like a stone in his chest?Daisy spoke first, her voice soft. “Felix… I know things haven’t been the same since I left, but—”“Why did you come back, Daisy?” he interrupted, his tone gentle but firm. “Was it guilt? Regret? Or did you think you could fix what’s already broken?”Her eyes widened at his words, and she shook her head. “I came back because I realized what I lost. I made a mistake, Felix.

    The rain poured relentlessly, a thunderous symphony that matched the turmoil in Mirable’s chest. She tried to wrest her hand free from Mitch’s grip, but his hold was firm. His face was a picture of regret, drenched in rainwater and guilt.“Let go, Mitch!” she shouted, her voice sharp, raw.“Mirable, please, just listen!” Mitch’s voice cracked with desperation.Suddenly, a hand shot out of the downpour, grabbing Mitch’s wrist and forcing it away from her. The strength of the grip made Mitch stumble, and Mirable gasped as the figure stepped into view.It was Franklin.“You heard her,” Franklin growled, his voice low and menacing. “She told you to unhand her.”Before Mitch could react, Franklin’s fist connected with his jaw in a brutal punch, the sound of the impact cutting through the rain. Mitch staggered back, clutching his face as blood dripped from his lip.“Franklin, stop!” Mirable cried, her shock evident.Franklin wasn’t done. He grabbed Mitch by the collar, lifting him slightly
