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
William checked in and decided to take a nap.He was not used to sleeping at odd hours, but they had not slept the entire night, and with everything that happened, he was exhausted.He quickly fell asleep but woke up only one hour later. He then traveled around Bellum city, scouring delicacies that his girlfriend and younger sister would enjoy.He took note of the restaurants and buffets - everything from high-end restaurants to fast food joints to cafes to small stalls.He noted them and the dish he thought they would like. He also drank tea in several places and kept notes.By evening he was exhausted and went back to the hotel to rest. He did not know when Rosaline would be free, so he caught up on some sleep.Rosaline entered the Dayne family house and directly went to greet her aunt.Miranda heaved a sigh of relief as soon as she saw her niece.“Where have you been? Do you have any idea how worried I was? I thought something bad happened to you.”She did not even give Lina a chan
The welcoming ceremony scheduled at 9:30 in the morning only started after 11 am. When the bride entered the foyer, she got blocked by Lina, Tina, and a few of their other cousins.They joked and laughed and made merry. Ria gave them each a red packet so they would give way to her.Lina sighed dramatically about her red packet being too thin. Ria glared at her, saying she would have her revenge soon enough.Lina stuck her tongue out to her, making them all chuckle.Maddox was famous in their family for doting Lina. He pulled an envelope and asked Ria to pass it on to her. Ria made a face at him while Lina smiled complacently, hugging Maddox while raising her eyebrow at Ria in the provocation.When they went inside, the ladies of the family, Miranda, Elisa, and other women of their seniority, welcomed them. They made some symbolic gestures of passing the household to Ria, which she accepted gracefully with the promise to do her best.They had some fun games for the couple and hinder
It was around 4 pm when Rosaline realized her predicament.She had no idea where her clothes for the evening went. She had placed them in her room and locked the room.When she came to rest in the room, it was still there. She went to the bathroom to freshen up, and it was gone.Someone had taken it away.She looked at other things in the room, and they seemed undisturbed. She looked into the closet, and her handbag was still there. She frantically went through her handbag, and thankfully everything was still there. Most importantly, her gift for the bride was still there. That was a small solace.She did not want to create trouble with many people in the house. So, she could only let it be.Frustrated, she rummaged through the closet but did not find anything good enough for the occasion.She then ransacked her jewelry and shoe collection to find something appropriate. She had never been particularly fond of clothes or jewelry, so she did not have many of them.Miranda always bough
When Rosaline entered the banquet hall, the bride and groom were yet to arrive. She made her way to the Daynes and joined them in welcoming guests who had started to trickle in.Miranda praised her for looking so pretty and sighed about her having grown up.They barely talked as they welcomed guests.Rosaline and Tina simultaneously brought older relatives over and helped them settle in their respective seats.The stars of the party arrived around half an hour after Rosaline did.Tonight, El had draped a red silk cheongsam with a mermaid train, embroidered collar, and three-quarter sleeves.The bodice had intricate golden embroidery sparkling in the light, making her look sensational. It looked simple and classy, yet hot and dazzling. Lina hooted as they entered and brought everyone out of the trance as they all applauded to welcome the couple.Everything went well as they commenced the gift-giving. After that, everyone played games, introduced everyone to the bride, and had food an
