The next day Rosaline woke up in William’s arms and saw him reading something while wrapping one arm around her. He was a voracious reader. After living together for a while, she had become used to waking up like this.It was either this or waking up with kisses and teases.Very rarely did she have to wake up alone.She watched him unblinkingly until he noticed her staring at him.“Like what you see?” William teased.“Hmm. I think I wouldn’t have any regrets even if I die right now.”“What nonsense is that?”“Why? I am happy and content. What’s wrong with that?”“We have not lived together enough.”“Well, that’s true. Though, I think it will never be enough.”“All the more reason to live a long time.”“Fine. Let’s celebrate 100 years together. We have to live till I am 120, and you are 123 to do that.““You should subtract the three years you ran off from your calculation.”“123 for me and 126 for you then.”“How about you round off?”“125 for me and 128 for you.”“Still does not fee
The second intruder, however, was cleverer than the first. He took a spray can and sprayed it through the slit. He then affixed a small pipe on top of it and sprayed it on all sides.Rosaline couldn’t dodge in time and got a good blast of it.She fell to the ground and coughed violently.However, this momentary window was enough for the intruders to open the door and get in before locking it from inside.Rosaline pressed her ring and enabled all three functions to ensure she had both help and proof.“Who are you? What do you want from me? What did you spray on my face? Why did you break inside my room?”“So many questions. Too bad we won’t be answering you.”“But don’t worry, it won’t matter anymore when you let us fuck you voluntarily.”“Get away from me. I have called the police. You won’t get away with this.”“How naive! Do you think it will matter when the police find you enjoying both of us together and on drugs inside a room booked by your boyfriend?”“Or do you think your boyf
It was a long night for everyone involved.William had fractured both intruders’ hands and kicked them hard on the balls.He was stunned to hear that. He had never lost control like that. It was adrenaline.But he was not sorry for what had happened to those bastards.The sight that had greeted him that time would forever haunt his memory.He vowed to avenge his women and get back at everyone who had even the most minor involvement.The doctors identified that Rosaline had inhaled some sort of illegal drug which combined anesthesia, aphrodisiac, and hallucinogen.As she had orally inhaled it, the effects were marginal. If it had gone to the bloodstream, it would have even adverse effects and could have even a long-term impact.The police officer left after learning from the doctor and took a vile of blood for cross-testing.It was nearly 11 pm when Rosaline regained consciousness.Not that she was any restful before. She had been trashing in her sleep and mumbling incoherently.When s
Under the persuasion of the “guard” sent by William, Rosaline drank a lot of water.The doctors had refrained her from eating anything.She calmed down a lot after an hour. Finally, she agreed to take one arm out and get the infusion set up.William called the doctor and watched him closely as he did so.She drifted to sleep at around 2 am. She was still restless, and William tried to speak with her gently and soothe her without touching her.He called her little animal names.It seemed to work as she did not violently react when called these, unlike how she responded when called ‘baby’ or Rosaline.Throughout the night, he acted as a guard and persuaded her to calm down.It was better than being himself and confusing her.Maddox and Ria also stayed in the hospital.William urged them to go back to no avail. He had more important things to focus on, so he let them be.When Rosaline stirred up in the morning, she saw William looking at her intently.For a second, she thought she was i
William followed Rosaline to her room.He only politely greeted Miranda and Jeremy but was otherwise indifferent.When they reached her room, he locked the door from inside, strode into the bathroom, and drew her a bath.He adjusted the temperature and left the water running as he came out to find Rosaline standing outside the bathroom door.“How do you feel?” He asked softly.“I feel dirty.”“I am sorry.” William sighed.“Why?” “I failed to protect you.”“Don’t be. You saved me. I knew you would.”“Don’t shut me out.”“I won’t. I just feel so dirty. I need a shower.”“I will help you.”“No. Please, William! They pretended to be you. I was so scared. I can feel their hands on me. I feel sick.”“Shh…don’t. I reached you first. I heard everything. Let me be there for you.”“I am not pushing you away. I just want to wash away the filth.”“There is no filth on you. You could never catch it.”“Please!”“No,” William said as he decisively picked her up and got into the bathtub carrying her
William and Rosaline came downstairs to find everyone waiting up for them.They had their breakfast, and everyone sat in the living room before they finally broached the subject.William held Rosaline tightly in his arms as she explained everything. William and Maddox filled in the rest. Miranda was horrified and hugged Lina in her arms.William was displeased but contained himself.Jeremy thanked him, but William shook his head, saying it was his responsibility to protect his women.He apologized for a job poorly done.Ria was astounded looking at her brother.She had known that William and Rosaline were in love and rather lovey-dovey, but seeing with her own eyes was a whole different thing. Rosaline had to console Miranda and help her settle down before she sat beside William.He immediately wrapped his arms around her and tugged her closer. The police had not come up with anything until then about who was behind it.William knew Albert and Tessa must have been looking into it a
One month had passed since the attempted assault on Rosaline in Bellum city.The only thing the police had uncovered was that whoever the mastermind was, they were trying to frame both William and Rosaline for dealing with drugs and illegal prostitution.If Rosaline had not been vigilant and called William, who recorded the entire conversation and rescued her in time, the perpetrators would have successfully framed them.Unfortunately, the police had failed to uncover anything, much to Maddox’s fury.He had put a lot of pressure on the authorities, but it all had come to nothing.On the other hand, Rosaline had had nightmares for a month and was just starting to get better.William had been with her every step of the way. Rosaline did not hide her panic, fear, or insecurities from William and accepted his help in everything.William also shared his guilt and restlessness with her.They were partners and would go through everything together as one unit.The transparency helped strengt
Things stood at a standstill for around a month.Everyone in the AR Group suspected that Rosaline had left S city. Asteria confirmed everyone’s doubt when she messaged Felix asking why Rosaline was in NewT city and had been staying there for a while, looking somber during the day, and drunk during the evenings. Unfortunately for the parties involved, an entire team saw the message.Felix had connected his phone to the projector. He was explaining the doubts he had about the game.AR Group was abuzz again.The President had lashed out for gossiping during work hours. But otherwise, he had remained indifferent.But a few discerning people had seen his knuckles turning white with the sheer force he was using to clench his fists involuntarily.William had abruptly canceled everything in his schedule for the next three days and was as unbearable as ever the other times.Albert went to William’s office, closed the door, pulled the shutters, and had a long chat with William.The day after,
