Rosaline leaned against the door of her studio apartment as William looked around.

Her studio apartment, as its name suggested, was small. It had a bed on the alleviated platform that used glass panes to separate it from other spaces, one couch that could get doubled as a bed, a sofa, two small tables, two chairs, a small kitchen with a small island, and a small bathroom.

She had fitted wall cupboards in every available space. She had turned the wall beside her bed into a bookshelf.

Rosaline leaned against the wall and kept looking at him.

William suppressed his emotions and asked.

“Are you going to keep standing there?”

“Do you hate me?”

Rosaline asked the question that had been bothering her all these years.

William was stunned.

‘Hate her? I can’t even love her enough.’

He laughed self-deprecatingly and asked rhetorically.

“What if I do? What if I don’t?”

“If you don’t, then let me thank you. If you do, then let me make it up to you. Give me a chance.”

“Why should I?”

“I probably

    Rosaline sat on William’s lap, straddling him, both covered with bubbles.She traced his face with her fingers. “When was the last time you slept well?” Rosaline asked, guilt evident in her voice.“I was just busy.”“Too busy to sleep.”“Don’t worry about it.”“I can’t help it. I don’t like it. I hate seeing you stressed or worried.”“Then don’t leave me again.”“I don’t plan to. If I have to go, I will kidnap you and bring you with me, keep you locked up in the basement for myself.”“When did you become so humorous?”’“Picked it up in the streets of Egypt.”“How did you manage to travel around the world?”“I worked remotely.”“Were you tired?”“It was hard at first, but then I got the hang of it. It was fun and fulfilling.”Rosaline kept talking about how she managed to go from one place to another, met Timothy, and how CARE started. She massaged his shoulders and neck. He was stiff as she continued talking.He listened to her in rapt attention, asking some details here and there.

    William stilled inside Rosaline and kissed her tenderly on her swollen lips as they both lay motionless, trying to calm down.He did not come out of her. But instead flipped her over and pressed her on his body while wrapping her tightly in his arms.After a long while, when she calmed down, Rosaline realized he was still inside of her.The realization made her shiver. She looked up at William and found him staring at her.She did not dare to move, so she just pressed her palm over his eyes and kissed him on his chest.“Close your eyes and rest.” She said slowly, “your eyes will get dry like this.”“I don’t want to sleep.” He replied.“Talk to me then.” She said, drawing circles on his chest.He felt as if she was teasing him. She lay her head back on his chest and kept caressing him. “What are you thinking?”“Nothing.” Rosaline smiled at him, “I am just happy and satisfied.”“...”William was not sure if she was telling the truth.Ever since he met her, everything felt surreal.He w

    William widened his eyes in realization.He could not believe himself.Over the past three years, he had had nightmares where Rosaline had gotten pregnant. She and their child had struggled, and they both hated him for not being there for them.But the moment they met, they did it again, twice and without protection.Rosaline looked at his ashen face and could not help but giggle.“Why so scared? I won’t get pregnant just like that.”She stretched and muttered.“Let’s eat out. I’ll take the emergency contraceptive.”She looked away and said under her breath.“And let’s buy some condoms along the way. Contraceptives are bad for health. One or two is fine. But we should avoid it.”William was embarrassed when he heard that. He was also equally ashamed of himself.How could he let her take responsibility for that as well?“I am sorry. I will be more careful in the future.”“Don’t make that face. It’s not like either of us planned to do it as soon as we met. It just happened. Don’t worry

    William was satisfied.He carried her to the bathroom and rinsed her and himself. He placed her on the couch and changed the sheets before picking her back and holding her to sleep.It was the best sleep in three years, but he still woke up with a start when he had a nightmare.He dreamed that three years ago, after leaving him, Rosaline had miscarried and had become suicidal.He could not help but shake her, and when she stirred a little, he asked her if she had ever been pregnant.She mumbled, “Not pregnant,” before dozing off again, but after a few seconds, she mumbled - “not ready yet” - in her sleep.William heaved a sigh and went out to cool himself off.After five minutes, he felt like he had calmed down a little. But he suddenly heard Rosaline scream.William rushed inside with his heart in his throat. Rosaline looked like she had seen a ghost.He slowly walked up to the bed without alarming her and sat beside her. He raised his hand slowly and caressed her head.She jumped hi

    In the morning, Rosaline groaned as she heard her alarm ring.She stretched out her hand to turn it off, but William beat her to it and pulled her closer.She was not sure if that was a dream or real.“Sleep a bit more. I will help you with work later.” William whispered.He wasn’t sure if she heard it, but she asked, “William?”“It’s me, baby. Get back to sleep.”She then fell asleep smiling.‘Still a sleepyhead and a piggy.’William thought, amused by her. He looked at her and caressed her for another hour. Most of his restlessness and worry were gone in a day. Every time she asked “William?”, his heart would be full of happiness.And each time he saw her body relax as he responded to her, he knew his worries and insecurities were in vain.She did care for him. He had a place in her heart, and she let her guard down with him. She trusted and relied on him.These realizations washed away most of the fear and doubts he had lived with for the last three years.He got up after a while

    William woke Rosaline up after he had helped her into her clothes.She looked at him, smiled, and kissed him on the cheek, “Good morning.”He kissed her forehead as he said, “Good morning.”She fumbled around and found her phone, after which she abruptly stood up from the bed.“Oh my God, I am so late.”Before William could say anything, she tumbled back into bed.Rosaline looked at him curiously before sitting up and looking at her clothes.“Did you help me put these on?”William scratched his head in embarrassment as he nodded.“First time?”He nodded again. “You should practice more,” Rosaline said as she stood up carefully.She passed him her phone as she said, “Order some breakfast. I’ll just freshen up and come.”“Alright.”Rosaline realized William had helped her shower and applied ointment on her as she freshened up.She pecked him as she said, “Thank you!”.He was tidying himself up and had changed into a business suit already.He deepened the kiss but only for a few seconds

    While education was important, it was expensive to provide education for everyone.As long as you have good sense and there is one skill you excel at, you can manage.CARE had few people like that - like a skinny girl who seemed timid of her own shadow, but her drawings were vivacious. A sturdy boy was naturally talented in Mechanics.Timothy had informed William with pride how he was a troublemaker and would pick fights for no reason before Miss Rosy had helped him see reason and driven him to a better path.An eight-year-old autistic boy was a gifted photographer.Timothy had found an old second-hand camera, and the boy seemed more relaxed when seeing things via a lens.That autistic boy had taken several pictures of the sturdy boy fixing an old scooter and turning it into an electric rickshaw.They had made a short video with before and after photos and pictures of him using scraps to fix it. It was inspiring.A seventy-year-old Granny had a hunched back, weak legs, and could bare

    Timothy thought for a long while but could not come up with anything. So, he asked William instead.“What should I do now?”“The first step would be to go to a school. Several good schools offer you options to study multiple subjects and keep advancing based on your improvement regardless of age.”“But then, I won’t be able to help her now.”“You can choose what is more helpful. Helping Rosy a little now and continuing to do so in the future. Or developing yourself first to help her a lot later; maybe even doing a better job than her.”“Let me think about it. Will you help me select a school like that? I will repay you when I grow up.”“Of course.” “You can call me when you have made up your mind.”As they were wrapping up their conversation, Rosaline showed up.“What are you guys talking about?”William reached out to her and held her close, wrapping his hand around her waist.“I was advising Timothy that running a foundation requires skills. If he wants to follow in your footsteps,

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
