Rose ignored both of them and stared at the four storey building cafe. This is unlike the normal regular cafe she knew. She knew that there was going to be a VIP floor in the building and it's probably on the third or fourth floor. This place is definitely not a cafe any lower class individual can visit because everything from the look of the building screams wealthy, rich, Luxury. Only wealthy people can afford this type of cafe. “What do you think about this place, Rosey?" Sandra turned to look at the quiet Rose while she allowed Kehlani to be in awe with the building. “It's good." Rose curtly replied. Sandra grinned at Rose. “Okay, let's go.” She hooked her arms with both Kehlani and Rose and dragged them to the entrance. " Sandy, how did you know about this place?” Rose suddenly changed the current topic. They have been sitting here at one of the tables in the cafe for ten minutes and some decided to ask to satisfy her curiosity. " Are you forgetting that my family is into th
Rose paused and looked at the two of them for a while. She can't possibly tell them why she came back even though she trusts them. They might end up seeing her as a crazy girl and run away. “I got tired of staying abroad so I came back here. Also, I don't have friends over there because I was once like Kehlani. I only have my best friend, Alissa." She explained. “You used to be like me?" Kehlani asked. She never expected to hear that Rose used to be shy and have low self esteem like her. It was thanks to both Rose and Sandra that she was slowly able to come out of her shadow. “You can say I was even worse. And I treated my best friend badly back then but we are on good terms now.” Rose replied. " Wow, how I wish she was here. I'd love to meet her since she was your first friend. Though I'm quiet disappointed because I thought I was your first friend.” Kehlani pouted , making Rose chuckle at her antics. " Sure, you're the first friend I made when I came back.” " See, you should s
Only Rose knows how to calm Alyssa down whenever she is getting emotional again. “Really? So why did you call? How's everything going with you? Are you okay?" Alyssa calmly asked in a gentle voice. “I called because I want you to speak to my friends. I told them about you.” Rose said. “Oh my, that's so sweet of you, Rose. I'm happy you told them about me. Quickly let's do a video chat so that I can see them.” Alyssa said. Rose nodded and switched the call to a video chat so that Alyssa can see both Sandra and Kehlani. To her surprise the three girls got along well and they all spoke to Alyssa like she was sitting with them. Most especially Sandra, she got along well with Alyssa because they have similar personalities. After spending a while at the cafe the three girls head back to Kehlani's house and Kehlani handed some school notes to Rose. Just like that, Rose continued with her normal routine, going to school, spending time with her two best friends. That weekend Rose spent
“Hen…..ry….. Henry, why…..have….you done this to….me?” Roseline managed to ask while clutching her chest. Her voice quivered with a mix of disbelief, betrayal, and heartache as she struggled to comprehend the pain inflicted by Henry's action. The weight of betrayal pressed down on her, causing a surge of agony to course through her body. Her face completely turned pale and her pupils locked tightly as she stared at the man who had just stabbed her with a dagger.She could never imagine that she could be stabbed by the man she loved and trusted the most after all these years they've been together and today of all days that was their special day.Where have things gone wrong? This wasn't how she imagined her blissful life to be with the man she loved.**********A few minutes earlier.A wedding anniversary was being held on a luxurious cruise ship. The entire ship was decorated with fancy lightning and different kinds of ribbons and flowers. The guests dressed in expensive attires sat d
Roseline was aware of the abnormal closeness between her husband and younger sister, but she had chosen to turn a blind eye and trust her husband no matter what. Despite the fact that she wanted to trust Henry, there were sometimes when she got angry and infuriated seeing them together, but she always believed that Henry loved her just as much as she did for him.‘Perhaps those two are still preparing the surprise, but I can't help but feel impatient seeing how much time it's taking them. I should probably go and find them so that they can show me whatever surprise it is.’ Roseline thought to herself again, starting to feel uneasy with the amount of time both Henry and Sophia were taking and she couldn't find her parents anywhere to ask them. “Please excuse me, I have to go and look for my husband." Roseline told the guest she was with and excused herself away from them and headed to the elevator that leads to the next floor since she had seen both of them entering the elevator earlie
Roseline rushed out of the elevator in hurried steps. She balled her hand into a fist in anger not expecting to see what Henry would chase after. She still doesn't have a full understanding why he would cheat on her with her own step sister and given the way they were so intimate she was sure that they'd been having that secret affair for a very long time.Feeling completely disgusted thinking about what she had witnessed earlier, Roseline decided to change her direction and head to the bancoly of the ship on the second floor. She knew Henry would soon reach the second floor seeing how he had asked her to stop earlier so it's better for her to divert his attention.Roseline gazed at the full moon, reflecting on the ocean water with a blank expression. Her marriage was supposed to be different from this betrayal by her husband. She loved him too much and was hurt by what he did to her. She remembered herself telling him a few minutes ago that today was one of the happiest days of her li
She shivered. She was in extreme pain not from being stabbed but her heart was the one in the pain right now. Her heart sank hopelessly into the dark. Right there and then, her whole world collapsed in front of her. “Aren't you too smart, sister? It was easy for you to connect the dots. That's right you've been poisoned." Sophia admitted, all smiles in mockery at Roseline. Roseline gulped. She remembered that Sophia had brought her drink earlier to drink. She didn't think much about it and happily collected it from her sister not knowing that it was already poisoned by Sophia. “How could you do this to me?" No, why are you both doing this to me?! Answer me, Henry and stop hiding behind Sophia like a coward!" Roseline yelled furiously at Henry. She hadn't had the chance to ask Sophia why she was also doing this to her since it was obvious that she might be jealous of her. She needed answers from Henry himself. “What exactly do you mean by that you've been enduring me for the past te
Every single time that she falls sick, her mother, or to be more precise, her stepmother is the one who always takes care of her. There was even a time when she exhausted herself while taking care of her one time . How could that be all fake? Then it suddenly occurred to her, her father had been acting strangely lately. He kept calling her to have a meal with him, sometimes he'd ask her to visit him and spend a few days at the mansion. He showed her much more love than usual like he was going to lose her to the past few months and days. But she thought that it was because he misses her so much that he was acting strangely. At the same time, her father had also been the one to arrange this wedding anniversary for her. He kept saying that he wanted her to have a memorable wedding anniversary for the past four years she had been married. So how could all this happen of he hadn't planned it or arranged it in the first place? Even if she screamed at this rate, it was useless because no o
