“I need to borrow your company hackers. I want them to hack into the Gray family security system. There is something I'm going to send to you after I borrow a laptop from Mr. King. You will help me expose these things but leave no traces that can be tracked." Rose explained. She might find peace and love where she currently is but that doesn't mean she forgot the most important thing and the reason she is living.“Rose, does this have anything to do with your reason for leaving the house?" Nicholas questioned. He was not too stupid to not quickly take a guess of what she's doing. “Yes, it is. Leave your questions for later when we see each other, cousin. Are you going to help me with this task?” Rose replied and asked him again. She knew he would want to question her but that isn't something she could answer at the moment.“I will get it done for you." Nicholas replied. This is the second task she was going to ask him to help her solve so he decided to do it. After all, he knew that
Alex stared at her for a while before reaching to collect the phone from her hand without saying anything.“I will be heading back to my room now." Rose announced and immediately walked right past him not bothering to wait if he had something to say. Immediately after Rose's figure disappeared from his sight, the phone in his hand started to vibrate, making Alex turn his attention back to the phone and the neutral calm expression he had in his face when Rose was with him, immediately vanished and replaced with a dark expression.“She is not here?" He said, immediately he answered the call." I know she isn't. I was hoping to speak to you.” Nicholas's serious voice rang out. “Why are you calling me?" Alex questioned. Why was he hoping to speak to him?“Because I have some questions to ask you. Alex, where did you meet Roseline?" Nicholas asked without beating around the bush. Even Rose said she was fine, it was still his duty to be a thousand percent sure and he really wanted to know
By the time Rose was done speaking with Nancy, she immediately checked some other things that she needed to do and checked some accounts she had in her possession. Once she was done with everything, she checked the time and saw that it was already past noon. She was so engrossed in what she was doing that she forgot to eat lunch and luckily Lara had asked the maid to bring some snacks for her earlier so she didn't feel the hunger.“Ah, I think I'm done with everything I need to do." Rose mumbled as she placed the laptop beside her and stretched her hand and neck. She had done most of the important things she needed to do.“Young miss, Madam Lara want me to ask if you need anything?" A maid suddenly walked up to where Rose was sitting.“Oh, not really. I'm still okay for now and I will be heading to my room now." Rose replied back to the maid who nodded at Rose with a smile on her face as she bowed and went back.Just as she was about to stand up, as if on a sudden impulse, she looked
“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
