flashbackIt's been two months and Max's company's vanished without a trace. He has mostly been spending most of his day at home while Rose goes to work and comes back home late at night. Whenever he challenge her, she would reply and tells him he has no right to question her and made it clear to him she's an owner of a company. She won't cease in rubbing that to Max's face.His solely hope is the shipbuilding project he's been working on with the Chinese investors. He has invested all that he owned into the project and, if it panned out adequately for him, he's going to obtain 4 times of what he has invested. By that, he can launch a new company."Max, can we talk?." His wife's voice brought him out of his thought. He was sitting at the balcony side of their room. "Hey! You're still around? Thought you had left for work?.""No, I have to reply to some emails before I leave." She said. Before he could say a word, she speak again. "We need to talk." She held a look of solemness. He s
flashbackAfter a long argument and fights, he decided to succumbed and sauntered back to the bathroom to take his bath while Rose walked out to their daughter's room and woke her up. She bathed her and dressed her up neatly. She needs to do all it takes to impress her father. "Janet, today is the best day of mommy's life. We're visiting your grandfather today. Tell me anything you want and mommy shall grant it." She said as she playfully pinched her daughter's cheek. Her daughter looked at her strangely without saying a word. •Janet, who was sitting at the back sit of the car abruptly circles her delicate little hands around her father's neck and asked. "Daddy, can we just stay at home rather? I don't want to go to grandpa's house." He was driving whilst his wife was sitting at the passenger's"Janet, you need to quit saying that else, mommy will be so upset at you." Rose said to her. "Sorry, mommy." She apologized in her small voice. They arrived at their destination and hopped
He got home extremely tired and stressed. Sarah, their personal maid decided to offer some help by massaging his head when Rose and her daughter walked in. The bag in her hand dipped roughly on the floor with the view going on in her presence. Her whole body is boiling up in anger. Neither did Sarah nor, Max know she was there. "Daddy!" Janet called which made him open his eyes before she run towards him and his him tightly."Hey princess." He kissed her cheek. "I believe, my princess had a wonderful day?." "Yes, Daddy. Aunty Jane and I prepared my fav-""Janet! You need to go to your room now." Rose caught her off. "But, mommy-""Princess, mommy needs to talk to Daddy about something important. So please, go up to your room and turn on your television okay? Do not get distracted no matter what." She said sweetly to her. "Okay, mommy." She ran up to her room and Rose didn't take her eyes off, her retreating back. Once she's out of sight... She whirled slowly and stride closer to
She got out of Janet's room, close the door and leave for her room while Max walked into his daughter's room to give her a good night kiss. He was caressing her hair when all of a sudden, he got a call. Not to disturb his daughter's peaceful sleep, he silent it and walk out of her room. Checking the name of the caller, it's John. "Boss..." He trailed off with a weary voice.He sighed before questioning him. "What's it, John?." "Boss, it's... It's the shipbuilding project ." "And, what's wrong with the project? Did, Mr. Steve call to complain about my absence again? That's why I sent you there, John! Take care of the situation without causing any issues. You know, I can't be there now, not in my crucial situation as we speak. You know about everything!" "Boss, that's... That's not the actual reason why I had called you.""Then, what's it?." He asked in an anticipated tone. "We've got a problem." He announced in a shaking voice. "Get the fucking words out of your mouth and stop b
Before he could hop in his car, she stopped him. "What do you think you're doing? Leaving in anger because you heard me admiring another guy? She's Kate's brother and it's nothing serious." She said in an unbelievably tone. He sneered. "Now, you're justifying your actions?! You're married for damn sake! I'm your husband! Tell me, how would you feel if you heard me admiring another woman. I doubt, if you love me right now because, it's obvious you want to discard me since I have nothing!" "Believe whatever you want, I don't care.""Of course, you won't. I mean nothing to you." He said. "I'm leaving for Toronto tonight. I thought, to let you know at least. I will be back in the next few days." "Toronto? To do what? I mean, your so called company is no longer yours anymore so, why do you have to go? Plus, this is the sixth day you got the news and you never get worked up about it so, why now?." "Am I truly your husband? Do you feel anything for me at all?." He asked in a bitter tone.
"Doctor, how much will the surgery cost?." He asked. "Around, seven hundred thousand to seven fifty thousand dollars." The doctor said. "What?!! More than half a million dollars for surgery? She's just a kid and you're charging that much?" Rose complained like her daughter's life mean nothing to her. The only worry she has at that moment is the huge amount of money announced by the doctor. Without saying a word to them, the doctor walks away."Must you always display your selfish personality wherever you go to? This is our daughter for goodness sake. You heard him, she might die if we do not act fast." Max hissed. Before his wife could construct a complete sentence, he said again. "Rose, where's the money in our joint account?.""And why are you asking me about the money I already transferred? Aren't you supposed to go pay for our daughter's operation before she dies as the doctor had said?"He stared at her unbelievably. He can't imagine she could utter such words. "Roseline, I'm n
Flashback "What?!!!" The doctor clamored in an unbelievable tone. He can't believe she just said this to him. "Mrs. Censatio, I'm sorry but, I can't do this. I mean, the operation has been successfully done and in a few days, your daughter can be discharged. So, why would you bring in such an idea?" "Do this for me and I will pay you a huge ransom of money. It's important for me." "But still, I can't just-" "1 million dollars." "What?!!" "I'm going to give you five hundred thousand dollars now if you agree to do this for me and, would balance the rest of the payment after the job is done. So, deal?" She smirked as she saw the look on the man's face, there was no doubt, he won't turn her down. "O.. okay. But, this is against the hospital rules. It might not turn ou-" "Don't worry, I will take care of it. I'm Rose Hastington." She arrogantly speaks with a small creep at the side of her lip. "Doctor, what are you saying? I need to pay for another three hundred and fifty th
"Mrs. Censatio, thank you so much for accepting my invitation once again. Subsequently to what we had both discussed on phone, I never thought that you would assent to it so easily. I was anxious that you will be upset at me for laying forth such a deal to you." Sophia said in an incredibly soft and calm tone to the woman sitting across her in her living room.Gosh! I just adore everything about this lady. I can't believe that she would be bestowing all of her fortunes on me in exchange for my husband- Rose thought. Sophia confided in her about her situation and what she was going through at the moment, she was a person who has never been happy in her life. All men that have been approaching her were merely after her wealth and body. They never expressed their love wholeheartedly to her and, she is desperately in need of that. She had fortune but extremely impossible for her to earn love in return."Not at all. Why would I be mad at you? We both are two different individuals yearnin
