William and Rosaline took a heavy breakfast and left for Tessa’s house.William dropped her off and drove to the Brown family mansion. The wedding went without any issues.However, just as they were playing the video story of the couple, the screen went blank.They tried it several times, but it went blurry and went black.Tina and Supriya exchanged a glance. They had planned a special surprise for Lina.William quickly realized something was wrong. He took Tristen to see what was wrong.Just as he had expected, there was a video story of Rosaline instead of the bride and groom.He copied it and took note of people working on it. Tristen called the resort manager and had the staff arrested. They quickly found the correct video and played it. Everything went without a hitch.But Supriya and Tina had come prepared.Tina knew Tessa was to follow them to Bellum city, so they had got someone to puncher her car.The rest of the party left as they waited for people to come and fix it.Anab
Tina was scared, and a very uneasy feeling crept into her heart.She and Supriya had a perfect plan. Even though William had intercepted Rosaline’s video and their hired ‘mechanics’ were apprehended, Elisa and George believed that the police had caught Lina and Tessa doing shameful things in public.Tina was beyond elated seeing George slap Lina. Even when Lina talked back in defiance, she knew she had succeeded.Tina only saw anger and indifference in Lina. Their bond was now completely broken. William showed up and ruined her mood, but she was still complacent. But when she saw ‘the waiter’ that they had passed 15% of the shares to come to aid Tessa, she sensed danger. The feelings of danger and horror intensified as William and ‘the waiter’ exchanged knowing glances. Rosaline looked at William and said, “Let’s end this.”George and Elisa were stupefied.They did not know what to think or what to do.George and Elisa had been uneasy since the previous day as they realized how s
Chandler approached Anthony with respect.“Commander Brown, I’m the Inspector who called you earlier. My apologies for disturbing you at such an ungodly hour. Please take a seat as this will take a long time.”“At ease, Inspector,” Anthony said, “I can see you did not call me on a whim. Get to the point.”Chandler did not need further instructions as he grabbed a folder from his subordinate and began.“Miss Rosaline Dayne and Mr. William Brown filed a joint complaint a month ago.” He said, showing a copy of the complaint.“Someone had taken pictures of them and distorted them using it for slander.”He showed the newspaper clipping that referred to Lina as a groupie.“After a few days, Mr. Brown thought he was getting stalked.”He showed the part of the complaint as they had registered. All parties present were stunned while Supriya’s face turned ghastly.“He suspected Miss Lantz but did not have any solid proof. He did point out the exact times and places where he felt he was getting
William took deep breaths to calm himself.Rosaline grabbed his arm and slung it across her. He made a face at her.His parents looked at him with mixed feelings. They had never seen him this affected before.George and Elisa were horrified. They could not even bear to look at Lina.Moreover, seeing her so unconcerned and only bothered about William and Tessa revealed something they dared not acknowledge. Chandler continued, ignoring everyone’s emotions. He needed to close this case.Even he knew they wouldn't be suing anyone, so it was a waste of time and effort on their part to resolve their family drama.“Two days ago, Miss Lantz and Tina Dayne hired an ex-con to assault Miss Johnson and Miss Rosaline when they were out. Some of my people were tailing them, so we were able to capture the assaulters and the photographer.”He showed them pictures of the convicts, their statements, and transactions.Rosaline was shocked as she had no idea they were targets of an assault.She and Tess
Chandler saw that none of them seemed to come out of the trance even after a few minutes.He hated doing this as this was an absolute waste of time.But Will was his junior in school, and they became friends as they were in the same behavioral psychology class.They had gotten along rather well despite knowing that Will would never work in the same field.He had helped Will in the psychology classes as Will had very low EQ.Conversely, Will had helped him with strategy and tactics, taught him some of the unspoken rules he had picked up while living with his father, and a few martial arts moves.They were not best friends but the kind who could be relied upon when needed. During this time, he realized all Will’s friends were like that. Anthony was the first to calm himself down, but he was in an awkward position as he was always the one to give orders.But now, he was placed in a passive situation because of his foolish wife, who drugged her child and threatened others using his name
Anthony shot his wife a look. Anabella was frightened.She solemnly said, “I am sorry. I should not have trusted these two blindly. I know I am at fault here.”Rosaline chimed in, “We will drop the charges against her. Al, you got your shares, and William does not want to pursue this matter.”Chandler told his subordinate to make the appropriate changes, “Commander, I will leave this to you.”Anthony understood what he meant and nodded gratefully.His wife had abused his power, but they had agreed to sweep it under the rug.It would impact his reputation and credibility if repeated. Tina had never been this humiliated, “She is just a bitch. Since she was the one who lied about dating someone else, why is it wrong for me to expose her?”Rosaline piped in.“Dear sister, when were we so close that I have to tell you who I am dating? Besides, what is it to you if I hide my relationship or cancel my engagement?”“You were the one in the wrong first.”“And that gives you the right to find
Supriya had been clenching her hands so hard it was dripping blood. Supriya glared at William and bellowed.“Will, I promise you, sooner or later, you will beg me to take you back. I have loved you for fifteen years in vain. Since you did not accept my love, I’ll give you my hatred. The two of you will never be happy as long as I am alive.”William only scoffed at her.He played with Rosaline’s fingers and drew on her palm, wrote things in it, pinched it, and kissed it as if everything that was going on had nothing to do with him.Inwardly he was observing everyone and keeping tabs on those who wanted to hurt his women.Supriya got further aggravated seeing this.But she was smart enough to fall back when she needed to.She would be able to gather her strength and deliver a harsher blow when they least expect it.She could only swallow the humiliation and accept the punishment. After a lengthy discussion, Chandler, the officer from IT security, Anthony, and Albert settled.Tina and
Anna could tell she must have gone through an ordeal looking at her state.She did not pry. It was not her job to get involved in their matters.They were kind to her, and she would repay them with kindness.She made them some herbal tea, gave him an ice pack for her swollen face and red eyes, helped draw her a warm bath, and added some herbs to soothe her nerves and help her relax. After she helped her in the warm bath, she brought over frozen aloe vera and placed it on her eyes and face.While it was not very comfortable, especially in contrast to her warm bath, Rosaline kept it on. It was calming.Anna left her in the bath. Rosaline looked vulnerable, not bad enough to need babysitting. Besides, the young lass was uncomfortable being naked in front of her.Anna quickly made a sweet dish. Neither Rosaline nor William had seen or heard of it before.But it tasted good, and Rosaline ate a lot of it, visibly happier after she ate. William shot Anna a grateful look.William had booked
