When Rose got home, she was in a foul mood. She went through door after door and only realized that the light in the room was on when she looked up. As her eyes landed on a certain person, her first reaction was to check the time on her watch.8.58 p.m?Seeing that she was on time, she happily went up to him. "Hubby, I didn't break the rules!"At the top of the stairs, Rose looked at him obediently with her arms around his waist!Kevin put his arm around her and said as he squinted his eyes, "Few minutes before curfew? What happened? Why do you look so glum?"She was so absent-minded when she entered the house that she didn't even change her shoes!Shaking her head, Rose unintentionally grabbed his shirt and buried her face into his chest. "I was just a little afraid of the dark!"In her heart, she was really afraid! But at this moment, she didn't know how to tell him about everything that has happened.Feeling her slight quiver, Kevin hugged her tightly."Silly! This is a high-end re
The call was from her colleague, Emma."Yeah! Nora said that she wants to treat everyone to dinner tonight. We have discussed that we would all pitch in 200 dollars each. After eating, we will go to the Light Clubhouse nearby to have a gathering and karaoke session. It will just be a few colleagues from our department and Nora's boyfriend, Mike, will be coming as well. I have heard that he is quite good-looking, and he is quite a decent man as well. Rumors said that he chased Nora for quite some time! It just so happened that he was able to join us today, hence he booked a big private room for us!"With that said Emma lowered her voice and continued speaking."He probably wants to let everyone know that they are dating as soon as possible so that Nora won't be able to change her mind! Come join us, Rose, there won't be any outsiders!"Since her father's surgery was successful, Rose was in a good mood. She felt that it would be a joyful event to celebrate her colleague's birthday as we
That day, Rose wore a loose white chiffon blouse, black cropped pants, and black suede pumps that revealed her slender ankles. When she put on the anklet with the shiny and silvery pendants, it made her ankle look alluring. She stretched her instep a little as she admired her feet, feeling proud of herself.Soon after, she started the car and went home to get something to eat. Unexpectedly, she fell asleep on the sofa and by the time she woke up; it was already nighttime. She quickly left the house when her colleagues started to call her to rush her. When Rose arrived at the Light Clubhouse, it was already eight-fifty. Seeing the time, she suddenly remembered that she had to do something. Just as she was taking out her phone, the words 'Uncle' appeared on the bright screen of her phone as if he could read her mind."Hubby..."As Kevin heard the soft voice coming from the other end of the phone, he gently swirled his glass of wine. "Well, where are you now?""Today is my colleague's b
Reflexively, she turned around and walked back, but someone tugged at her wrist after a few steps."Rose..."It was her!A big smile spread across James's face as his heart was full of joy. He went forward and hugged her tightly."Have you seen the advertisement? I've been waiting for you to contact me! You said that even if one of us was dating someone else, we must still meet to give the relationship an end. Have you forgotten what you said?"Rose was so mad that there were flames in her eyes and she pushed him away with all her might."Yes! I have forgotten about everything that happened in the past! James Matthews, do you know what you are doing? Is there something wrong with your brain? Can you wake up and see the reality? The woman in front of you is the sister of the murderer who killed your sister, the woman who you abandoned and hurt with no mercy! Did you think it will ever be possible for me to approach you peacefully? I don't care what you want from me, I won't get involve
"Kevin, wait for me!""Don't walk so fast! You haven't told me yet, what is the big deal?""Hey, why are you in such a hurry?""You didn't come all the way here just for a drink, right?"****Kevin? Alex? Rose's blood rushed up to her brain, the familiar sound was so close that she didn't even dare to struggle!On the other hand, James, who was angry yet enjoying the kiss, did not recognize Alex's voice as the loud nightclub music was playing. He held Rose tightly with his arms as if he wanted to press her into his embrace. After a few strides, Alex caught up to Kevin and grabbed his arm. "Kevin, did you really come to drink?""What do you think?"Kevin stopped and glanced at him, then walked onward with a smirk on his face. Of course, he had to pick up his wife! She was afraid of the dark!He walked past the two people kissing on the side but looked at the man for few seconds. After all, it was a nightclub, that was a common scene. Rose was wearing flats because she initially wen
Rose dashed back to the private room as fast as she could, as if she was escaping from a war zone!As she returned to her seat, her legs and feet were sore, and she realized her lips seemed to be tingling. Biting her lips, she was so anxious that her hands that were holding her plate of cake were trembling."Rose, are you okay? Are you not feeling well? Why is your face so pale?"Emma tried to express her concern, but Rose was so nervous that she almost flipped the plate over when she heard her. "Ah? Really?"Putting the cake down, Rose reached for her face and touched her cheeks. She had just run back, but her face was all cold. With an uneasy smile, she assured Emma."I'm probably just a little tired..."Her mind was a mess, all she could think of was why was Kevin here? Did he see it? Should she take off the anklet?As she unintentionally moved her feet, another tinkling sound chimed.Although it wasn't loud, it was so clear that it was unignorable. She didn't expect this cheap ank
Holding her breath, Rose's back pressed against the door and she didn't dare to move at all.As Kevin turned around to look at her, he got so mad that his head hurt. He tugged her by her wrist and pulled her upstairs in a few large steps. Along the way, Rose's anklet tinkled every once in a while and Kevin felt like chopping her up every time he heard it!After they entered the bedroom, Kevin flung her hand away, causing Rose to stagger and almost fall.When she finally balanced herself, Kevin had already taken off his suit and thrown it to the ground. Seeing the door being left wide open, Rose decided to go and close the door.Nevertheless, with every step that she took, the tinkling of the bells sounded loud and clear in the quiet room…Frowning and gritting her teeth, Rose deeply regretted putting on the anklet!It would've been such an interesting thing, but at this moment, all it was doing was adding fire to the fuel!Her regret grew as she hesitated on whether she should take it
Rose struggled to get up while trying to take it off. Her body’s discomfort made her pause suddenly. Her eyes unintentionally came across a buries on her body, there was even one on her arm.At that moment, Alice was petrified!It didn’t hurt at all, but those who didn’t know the truth would have thought that she had been assaulted! She could imagine how crazy he had been the previous night!Lifting the covers gently, she snuck a look at the rest of the body. It was truly an unbearable sight!While she was in a daze, a warm hand wrapped around her waist, followed by a rush of heat behind her back. Kevin had pulled her into her embrace. Then, he placed a soft kiss on her shoulder.“Wear it if you like it! It’s quite nice…”It was especially so when they were making love. The anklet’s tinkling sounds were like a catalyst that made one excited. Every part of Rose’s seemed so tempting. The bells on her anklet and the red nail polish made her even more enchanting!In n instant, Rose unders
Just like that one month had passed. In this one month, Kevin had worked non-stop. The next month he and Rose were getting married. Before their marriage, Kevin had decided to finish all his two months of work, because he had promised Rose that he would take her on vacation.In the Star International CEO’s office…Kevin sat behind on his chair and was busy looking at the documents in his hand and when Daniel knocked on the door and came inside…Daniel walked to the coffee machine made two cups of coffee and gave one to Kevin. Then he sat on the opposite chair.Kevin finished reading the file in his hand, signed his name, and put it down. He picked up the cup of coffee and asked…“How are the things I asked you to do?” Kevin took a sip of the coffee and asked.“I have dealt with everything as you said. The Follen Group all shares fell after the news of Mr. Follen being involved in money laundering and Tax evasion came to the light. After the investigation, Mr. Follen was sent to jail a
Just like that, with the help of that man, she shot that video.After hearing everything, Rose's eyes widened in shock. Because in the video lights were dim she wasn’t able to see clearly. What’s more men’s eyes were closed and because of the panic in her heart, she didn’t think too much and came here…“Since I have told you everything, I hope you can rest in peace after your death,” Lucy said as she stood up from her chair and was about to go out.However, she stopped and looked back at her. “Oops, I forget to tell you something very important. You are not going to die hare alone, so don’t be sad. Because your husband will also be going to accompany you.”“What do you mean?” She asked.“It’s like, in another ten minutes Kevin will be here to save you. However, as long as he opened the door, the bomb under your chair will be activated and BOOM!”“Okay, now I am get going, because your husband will be here soon.” After Lucy finished speaking, she picked up her bag and left.Before leav
The man in the photo was the person who had drugged Rose's father. Kevin had been looking for this man for a long time, however before he could catch him he had already left the C city.That’s why it takes so much time for him to find him. However, after finding out about the person behind all this, he was very disappointed. He had some idea, but after finding out that the person was Scarlett, he felt a little sad in his heart.After all, they have so many good memories together and even if they are no longer with each other, he still hopes that both of them can live their lives happily.“Scarlett, I had given you so many chances in the past, because I always respected our friendship… However, this time you had hurt the person who was very important to me… I will never forgive you…” Kevin said calmly.Kevin knows that for Rose her parents are very important in her life. All these years she had worked so hard to save her father. This time if something happened to her father, he can’t e
Kevin looked at Rose who was eating happily and asked, “I can understand everything, but I can’t understand one thing.”“What is it?” Rose asked.“How did I still able to win the bid?” He asked.“Oh, that… Because, I gave them a USB drive with filled with virus. As long as they opened it, all the data inside was destroyed.”Rose said. However, she was only able to do all this, with the help of Stella. Rose was very grateful to her. If she didn’t help her, she didn’t know whom to ask. It was also the reason, Rose sent her parents abroad, because she was afraid that once, that person found out that she had given him a USB filled with a virus, he would attack her parents again.Kevin nodded. After the both of them, finished eating, Rose washed the dishes and looked at Kevin who was still sitting on the sofa. “Why are you not leaving?” She asked.“I am not going anywhere. Because there is also another reason why I came here today.” Kevin said.“What other reason?” Rose asked, as she walke
After he finished speaking, he went inside. Kevin put the things in his hand on the table and looked at Rose, who was also walking over after closing the door.Kevin went forward and hugged her tightly. He buried his head in her shoulder and said, “I miss you so much.”Rose smiled and patted on his back. “Let me go, I am very hungry. Let’s eat something first.” She said.The person she asked to deliver food was none other than, but Kevin. Kevin nodded and let her go. After that, both of them, sat down to eat. Looking at her favorite food, Rose smiled and started to eat happily.As she was eating, she thought something and asked, “How are the things going on? Do you find the person behind all this?”Kevin looked up at her and said, “"Yes that man is Sebastain Davis, who installed that motoring device in your phone.""Sebastain Davis?" Hearing this name, Rose finally understands everything... "So it was him who did this. No wonder I didn't find out anything.""Don't worry, it will not l
Looking at the group of people who were condemning and glaring at her, Rose suddenly understood.It turned out that this was the real purpose of this trap! To let Kevin and even the whole Davis family witness her betrayal of him with their own eyes. It was to turn her family against her and completely break the relationship between the two!As her eyes fell on Scarlett and the middle-aged man, Rose concluded. "What a coincidence! This matter must have something to do with her!" Rose thought to herself.When she was still sorting out her thoughts, Lucy had already rushed over in anger. She looked at the computer for a few seconds, then she shouted."I saw you entering the hotel with a man sneakily. I thought that you were having an affair. It turned out that you had stolen something. Has the Davis family done you any wrong? You actually stole Star International's trade secrets in exchange for fifty million dollars? What is this? The bidding proposal for the west city!"She kept yelling
By the time Kevin came back, it was almost midnight, but Rose was still on the sofa. As soon as she saw him, she got up and ran up to him."Hubby, is dad alright? Is there anything wrong?"Rose took his coat and hung it up. She also took a set of clothes for him to change into and said, "You must be tired! Are you hungry? Let me make you supper. Go and take a shower first!"Seeing that he had returned, everything should be fine now. Just when Rose was about to move, Kevin held her waist."It's fine, I'm not hungry! Dad's fine now. We don't know what he ate that suddenly shot up his blood pressure, but he's stable now. It's already so late, why haven't you slept? Is there anything urgent that I need to know?""No! It's good that he's fine! I just wanted to wait for you to come back. I wouldn't feel at ease if I didn't know what's going on! As for my matter, let's talk about it next time. Quick, go take a shower and rest!"Pushing him into the bathroom, Rose quickly tidied up the bed an
"Then don't let him enter the third round!"He threw the list aside and said in a low voice, "Let's see how he can stir up trouble if he can't enter! By the way, do you think... there is anything wrong with the bidding in Western City this time?"“Okay.” Daniel said and was about to leave… However, he stopped and said…"Don't forget that you've made an appointment with Director Sander for dinner at Sky Water Hotel this evening!" Daniel reminded him when he saw that he was very disturbed and left!Kevin sat there for a while, moving away.****That evening, Rose went to Sky Water Hotel as instructed. In the room, she saw the so-called bidding document, it was a USB drive. The staff said that the room was booked online, but the customer was anonymous, so Rose didn't ask for more details. Although this person prepared everything so meticulously and carefully, even if she found out who put it there, the person must be someone insignificant!At that moment, Rose was not in a hurry to find
Rose accompanied her dad the whole way, and only turned her attention to Grayson when she went back to the office. Grayson gave her a cup of water."Don't worry, the results need some time to be released! Now, tell me, what is going on?" He asked."I'm not hiding anything. It is exactly as what I have told you! I don't know what is going on either..."Rose felt helpless, and her anxiety was obvious. Except for the part where she needed the proposal to exchange for the cure, she confessed everything.While they were speaking, a nurse sent in the reports to them.After closing the door, Rose asked anxiously, "How is it? What exactly is the issue?""From the films and the results, so far everything is normal! However, something... unknown is found in his bloodstream!"Because it was listed as a private and confidential matter, this report was not saved. It was specially labelled and the doctors filled in the report according to what he had given."Something unknown?" Rose muttered, her v
