Finding my way to you Chapter 162 - Three years later
It was a typical morning in the headquarters of the AR group.10-11 am in the mornings were for meetings for Felix and his boss.The first fifteen minutes every day were for the IT and security team.Felix thought his boss was paranoid about data security. Not that he dared to say it outright, but he still thought about that every morning.While Felix admired his boss's reasons for wanting to protect his company’s reputation and not wanting his employee’s efforts to go in vain, he still thought he was a little paranoid.Felix, the boss’s chief assistant, was forced to learn all the technical jargon.Even though there was now one more assistant supposedly assisting his boss, that rich brat was only making trouble for Felix and not being any help at all.In the entire year since Asteria Scott joined, Felix could not remember a single time when he felt his burden decrease.If anything, he felt he had to serve one more person without pay or position. Even more surprising was that his bos
Finding my way to you Chapter 163 - The beeps
At 10 am, William and Felix held a meeting with the IT and security team.It went on well - no concerns or problems.Asteria jotted down the notes while coloring the hearts she drew on the notebook.After that came a long depressing meeting where the team that was - sacrifice of the day - it was different each day and repeated every two weeks - was in utter chaos, looking at the CEO’s unimpressed face.The market research team was supposed to bring quantifiable data to support one of the two proposed software they needed to develop.But they came back with crap with a small unrelated sample set.Felix could see that William was about to lose his temper and admonish the entire team for producing poor-quality work.Just as he was getting ready to hear William’s cold voice, he heard a familiar beep.Felix and a few people who had heard it before sucked in a deep sigh of relief. Asteria was confused and jealous but could do nothing about it.For an entire year, she had been hearing these
Finding my way to you Chapter 164 - Cold war
Felix recalled that the beeps were infrequent at first.After about 5-6 months, Felix had overheard the conversation, well, fight between Albert and Tessa.“Albert, why can’t you just tell me?”“She had told us not to find her.”“She was not thinking straight at that time. What if she wants us to find her? What if she’s waiting?”“She knows where we are. You keep getting presents from her. Never once has she asked about Will. I am starting to doubt her.”“How dare you say that about her?”“What do you want me to say then?”“Just tell me her location, next time you get it, tell me straight away. I will go find her.”“What if she does not want us to find her?”“She does. She would never leave me behind.”“If that were the case, she would have directly or indirectly sent you the location.”“Maybe she has not figured out how.”“Really? I don’t even know her, yet I know it’s not true.”“Let me find her. She won’t mind if it’s me.”“It’s not my place to tell.”“You just don’t want to.”“Tes
Finding my way to you Chapter 165 - Charity party
Tessa had been counting the days since she had received Rosaline’s note.On the other hand, William was just as tense.He had a feeling that his Rosaline was now coming back.He got excited yet scared.One day he received an invitation to a charity event.Asteria kept looking at it and did not seem to plan to hand it over.“Miss Scott?” William said questioningly.“Yes, Boss, this came just now. But it’s addressed only as William. I did not know what to do.” She replied meekly.“Give it to me.” William took it from her and coldly added, “you may leave.”“Boss, can you take me with you if you go to the charity party?”“No.”“Boss, I..”“Miss Scott, close the door on your way out.” William interrupted her mercilessly. Asteria gave up and left his office crying.Felix saw her and could only shake his head at her.She had been there for a year, but William had not spoken one kind word to her.William kept staring at the neat handwriting on the envelope.He caressed it lovingly and sighed
Finding my way to you Chapter 166 - Meeting Timothy
Rosaline had been working without a break for the last few days.It was going to be the biggest charity event for CARE in its two-year run.When she had started it, it was just to lend a helping hand to a child who was suffering on the road, forced to beg and run from the syndicate of mercenaries who captured children to make them beg in the streets for their benefit.Despite being only seven at the time, Timothy was mature beyond his age.Even then, he understood that those mercenaries who promised to provide good food and shelter to the kids were evil. He lived one day at a time - minute to minute - working if he could, going hungry if he could not.No one would employ a dirty-looking seven-year-old lest they get caught by authorities for child abuse.The most he had managed over the years was helping out in restaurants late at night.Rosaline had found out about his policy.‘I will do all the dishes for you; you give me dinner and a blanket.’Over the years, he had managed to scra
Finding my way to you Chapter 167 - CARE
“Miss Rosy, since you care, you will find a way. It will be difficult and might take a long time, but you will find it nonetheless.”Timothy’s words ignited hope in Rosaline.It was his words that had planted the seeds of the CARE foundation in her heart.It had taken them nearly two months since she brought Timothy home to resolve the issue with the syndicate. But it was merely the end of a beginning.The real problem was providing for those kids.Ill treated as they were, they slept under a non-leaking roof and ate every night when they worked for mercenaries.After getting rescued, even that became rare.It took her a few more months to generate enough funding, gather support, and register her non-profit organization - CARE.On one of the days when she was busy working for CARE registration, she realized she no longer had insomnia or panic attacks.Perhaps because she was too busy to think - between her work in Scott designs, which she had managed to negotiate to be allowed to work
Finding my way to you Chapter 168 - Meet again
Rosaline had not fully immersed herself in her work.She also traveled, took a few days off to relax in a hotel spa or shop, or just got wasted. She took therapy sessions and gradually weaned off them.She would send things to Tessa, Jack, Leena, her parents, Maddox and Ria, and Jeremy and Miranda.As much as she wanted to meet William, ask about him, and send things to him, she did not.She only sent him GPS locations. More and more frequently each time.Finally, she was ready to go back, to face him without guilt and shame.She had been feeling butterflies in her stomach. She was nervous and clumsy.Two days before the charity night, she was helping the staff decorate the CARE home in M city.This time the venue was CARE home. They would also do the official opening ceremony at the charity event.The inhabitants, only a handful, for now, were residing in a temporary home for the time being.Other CARE inhabitants were en route for their performance in the event and auction of the i
Finding my way to you Chapter 169 - I missed you so much
William shook his head a few times to gather his bearings.As he recalled what had happened, he looked around to see Rosaline getting up from the floor.He was about to ask what she was doing on the floor when he realized she was the one he had pushed off just a few seconds ago.He instantly jumped off the bed and was on her side.He did not get to say anything as she jumped and looped her arms around him, holding him tightly in her arms.He hugged her back even tighter. She patted his shoulders when she could not breathe, and he relaxed his grip a bit.“I missed you, dearest Rosaline,” William whispered, “My heartless little Lexi, three years. You let yourself suffer alone for three years.”“I was not alone. Did you not accompany me from afar, and Tess and the others too.”“I would have rather accompanied you in person.”“I missed you, William. I missed you so much. It was hard to breathe.”“Don’t!”“I won’t. Don’t ever let me leave your side from now on.”“That’s a promise.”Rosalin

William lay on the bed with Rosaline in his arms and little Parth in his crib on the side. “Lexi?” William whispered. “Hmm?” Rosaline hummed in his neck. “Falling in love with you is the greatest achievement of my life. Thank you, darling. I never knew I could be so happy that my heart feels like it’ll overflow.” William said emotionally. “Don’t steal my line. That’s how I feel. With you by my side, I feel invincible.” Rosaline murmured. “I love you so much.” He said hoarsely. “I know. I would argue I love you more, but we both know that’s not true.” Rosaline giggled, peppering kisses on his neck. “Don’t do that!” William sighed. She teased, “Do what?” “Our son is here. We can’t do anything, so don’t provoke me. Besides, you have not healed yet.” William answered. “Teasing you is no fun. You have better control than me.” Rosaline complained. “You should be happy about that. I want you more than you want me.” William teased. “I have noticed our desire for sex and food follow
Finding my way to you Chapter 332 - Father and Son
Everyone had gathered at the AR mansion early as Asteria was to bring Rosaline and William’s baby.Tessa jumped first and ran to the door.She could not snatch the baby from Asteria’s arm, and Asteria would not give him away.They argued as they reached Rosaline’s side.The silent baby finally made a cooing noise as he leaped at Rosaline.“You heartless brat, I have been looking after you for two days, and you did not even speak to me once,” Asteria exclaimed, making everyone laugh.She had become much more cheerful in Apex city. She was unrestrained and happy.Everyone was waiting to hold the baby.Leena whistled and said, “Don’t crowd around him. Give him some breathing space. Rosy will introduce everyone to him.”They all grumbled and sat down.Jack had to grab Tessa and Albert by the collar and make them sit.Meanwhile, the baby rested his head on Rosaline’s shoulders but kept facing outside.“Don’t be mad at Mamma. Mamma was busy. Look, Mamma brought Dada home.” Rosaline convince
Finding my way to you Chapter 331 - In your arms
Danial, Isabella, Rosaline, and William went to the Scott family mansion.They had identified and reported the spies to the authorities.Someone had screened the entire mansion for hidden bugs.They enjoyed a lively dinner. It was the most peaceful meal in over five months. They shared what was going on and celebrated the reunion.They had planned to fly to Apex city the next day.They had given a week off to everyone in both companies except the support staff. It was to gear everyone up for the drastic changes that were to happen in Scott Group and to set the pace they would pick up at AR Group. Finally, William and Rosaline were alone in their bedroom.He hugged her close as soon as they locked the door.“You worked so hard,” William sounded sad.“It was the only time I had gotten physically involved. I only worked from the sidelines and helped the rescued people. It was emotionally draining to see so much suffering.”“But I tried my best to channel it into helping others, spreadin

Rosaline tried to soothe her.“Forget those vile creatures. That phase in your life is over. It’ll never go away, but it’s only a past now.”“The baby is innocent. It’s 29 weeks old now. Already fully formed.”“That gives you three options - you can keep the baby.”“You can abort it.”“Or you can wait a few more weeks. After the 34th week, we can do a c-section. The baby will be kept in a NICU until it is ready to be taken away.”“It’ll have a very high chance of survival after 34 weeks. You need at least six weeks for your physical injuries to heal anyway. You will be in the hospital regardless.”“And even if you want to abort, you’ll have to wait two weeks before your other injuries are healed enough for the procedure to be safe for your body.”“You can sleep on it and make a choice.”The girl looked at her and asked, “If I give birth, what will happen to the child?”Rosaline answered, “Depends on what you want. You can leave it in CARE if you don’t want to raise it. I promise the c

Rosaline broke the silence before the reporters could ask anything.“This little girl needed 30 stitches to heal the wound caused by rape. I had qualms about signing the consent form to terminate the pregnancy, which she called a monster. It would have undoubtedly torn her already vulnerable body apart.”The host silenced the reporters and played another clip.It showed a hospital bed and a young woman with a big pregnant belly. Her face was blurred, but she looked young.A police officer took her statement while a nurse and Rosaline stayed in the room.“Miss , let me confirm the details as you have mentioned previously. You met Peter a year ago in a cafe. He asked you out, you refused, he started to harass you, and then you filed a complaint against him.”“We found the complaint in the FIR box in the police station of south branch-9, which is close to your house. You and your parents met with an accident five days after you had filed an FIR.”The girl trembled, and Rosaline hel

Rosaline asked.“Whose permission do we need to terminate any possible pregnancy? They are too young to consent to anything, and god knows when we will find their families.”She slumped down and leaned on the wall as she sighed.“On top of everything, I don’t want them to have to carry a pregnancy to term. Under a proper environment, there is a chance they might heal and have a life, a family, and a future ahead. Let’s protect that.”“Thank you, Chief!”“Can we also get permission for the girls to choose if they want to return to their homes or stay in CARE?”“I suspect one of the girls got sold by her family. The others were in unwanted, improvised conditions. Only the 13-year-old seems to come from a loving family. If they don’t have a healing environment at home, let them stay in CARE. When they are better, they can move out anytime they want.”“Thank you, Chief. I will get the documents from you and prepare them after I get checked at the hospital.”“Don’t worry! I won’t mess with
Finding my way to you Chapter 327 - Abortion
A reporter asked a question that was not related to the case.“Miss Dayne, there are rumors that all the rescued rape victims get forced to have an abortion before being admitted to CARE. Could you shed some light on the matter?”The host replied, “Please keep the questions limited to the case.”Rosaline smiled at the host and answered, “That is not true. But I think I should be able to answer more clearly if your question was specific.”The reporter was stunned but soon asked, “Is it true that you have signed the consent form for abortion for the rape victims who were underage?”“Yes, that is true.”The reporter sneered, “In that case, it is true.”Rosaline countered, “I think you should get your facts straight and understand the nuances while discussing a sensitive topic.”“I have signed a consent form to terminate the pregnancy caused by six months of continuous rape of an 8-year-old who was in no way capable of sustaining a pregnancy on her physically undeveloped body that needed
Finding my way to you Chapter 326 - Suspects
Chief Green continued after the reporters quieted down.“After an in-depth investigation, we uncovered some evidence which indicated Mr. Jackson Senior’s involvement in the accident of Mr. Andrew Scott’s pregnant wife.”“Mr. Jackson Junior’s involvement in missing funds and misappropriation of money and resources within Scott Group subsidiaries came to light. We also found evidence of him bribing many staff members of Scott Group.”“Ultimately, there was evidence of their involvement in child trafficking. It linked both cases together.”“Furthermore, Mr. Jackson Senior was the leading investigator of the case of Mrs. Andrew. He was also the senior leader overseeing the capture of the suspect - Peter.”“However, there was no motive linking them, and their accounts were clean. And the evidence was not enough.”“So, we had to dig deeper, and we uncovered Mr. Jackson’s sister, who had wanted to marry into the Scott family, had gone missing and was presumed dead two years before Mrs. Andre

“You bitch, you called the cops,” Michael said venomously, spittle spraying from his mouth.“Someone is indeed helping you from the inside. No wonder we failed three times.” Rosaline said calmly.“Hahaha, you are smart. No wonder you found all my hideouts. Too bad you can’t catch me, though.” He sneered.“For what you did to those little girls, I will make sure you get caught, even if it’s the last thing I do,” Rosaline vowed.“Those little cunts were so tight. I am getting hard just thinking of them. The youngest one, how old was that bitch again? Ah! 8, 7 when I bought her. She was one feisty bitch, so much like you. When I shoved myself inside her, she begged until she passed out. One day, I will make sure you do the same. I won’t kill you today. I am going to fuck you bloody first. And, you won’t be able to do anything because you can’t touch me.”Michael punched her on the stomach, spat on her face, and left.Rosaline took a minute before she managed to stand.She took off her ea
