“You don’t want her to go pick up the books?” Sandra asked. “It’s not important,” Rose casually replied. She didn’t really care that her books were scattered around the back of the classroom. Those books had no use for her. And even if someone were to pick those books up, it should be the person
“My dear, this would be your room. I have everything prepared for you but if you don't like anything there, let me know so that I can have it changed for you."

Leo chuckled at the closed door and was about to walk away when he heard a voice from behind him. “Leo, what are you doing here?” Leo froze when he heard the familiar serious voice of his older brother behind him. He turned around and smiled at Nicholas who had a frown on his face with a file in
“Uncle Julian?" She called, making Julian raise his head up when he heard a different voice from what he expected. “Rose? I didn't know that it was you." He said, surprised to see Rose in his office. “Is there any problem?" Julian asked. “No, I just came here to discuss something with you. I apo
When they arrived at the family house, as expected, Anne quickly snatched Rose away from Karen who was already getting used to Rose. Seeing that Rose was pretty much occupied with his mother and wife, Julian went to meet his father. Julian informed and gave a briefing of his conversation with Rose
“I understand. I wasn't expecting immediate results anyways. You can take your time on that.” Rose replied. “Are you underestimating me?" Nicholas asked. “I'm not underestimating your ability but you shouldn't underestimate Beatrice. That woman is way smarter than you can imagine. So don't push
She wore studs on one of her ears. It was the type that you could remove at any time. Whenever there was a teacher, she would take it off. However, when the teacher was out of sight, she would wear it again. She had quite a temper. Everyone in the classroom automatically stepped back. They kept th
Nia thought about it carefully. Everyone in the school knew that Rose had an encounter with Tori at the cafeteria however, there was no one who actually stood up and said that it was called bullying. Since Tori was the first person to start the trouble until she got what she deserved from Rose that
--- The press conference was held at the luxurious Riverview Grand Hotel, a venue known for hosting high-profile events. The large conference room was packed to capacity with journalists, photographers, and reporters from various media, all eager to catch a glimpse of the trending Gray family. As
……… The next day, Rose dressed carefully for the press conference. She applied a touch of makeup to cover her bruises, though some marks were still visible. She chose a white summer dress, its delicate design giving her an air of fragility. When she descended the stairs, Beatrice was waiting, her
They began the game in silence, the soft clink of chess pieces the only sound. Frank’s moves were calculated, deliberate, but he quickly realized Rose wasn’t an easy opponent. Her strategy was sharp, her responses precise, and it wasn’t long before she had him on the defensive. Frank leaned back in
Rose smiled, caught between the two. “I… I didn’t mean to start a competition!” she said, laughing lightly. Frank chuckled and placed a hand on Anne’s shoulder. “It’s not a competition, dear,” he said softly, his voice carrying a reassuring note. “Let her call us whatever she feels comfortable with
********* The grandeur of the Anderson Ancestral home was as breathtaking as ever, with its ornate architecture and sprawling gardens. Though Rose had visited before, this time felt different. It wasn’t a casual visit—it was her escape, her refuge after the chaos at the Gray mansion. Julian guided
Rose, who heard Beatrice’s voice paused and looked at Beatrice, her expression blank but her posture poised. Beatrice clasped her hands together, her tone pitiful. “Rose, I… I know I’ve made mistakes. This is all my fault. I shouldn’t have let things get so out of hand. Please, don’t leave. We’re f
--- The Gray mansion loomed under the overcast sky, its towering structure a stark reminder of the battles fought within its walls. Two days had passed since Rose signed the contract, transferring her shares to William. But her mind was far from defeated. She had called her uncle, Julian Anderson,
‘My wife is right. She's changed. She's plotting something,’ William thought, his suspicions solidifying. "So, she’s put her guard up against me," he muttered in a tone only he can hear, his expression darkening. If that’s the case, I’ll have to get rid of her soon. But the tens of billions he cra
"Father?!" William snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Rose's voice next to him. Rose frowned at the way William jolted at her words. It's obvious he was daydreaming, but the fact that he was wasting her time was even more annoying to her. “Do you have something else to.say?" She asked. Fo
