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,
Three days later, there was an uproar in the AR Group. The new app released by AR Group a week before had a privacy issue, and there were reports of a suspected breach of user data.The designs of a Shopping complex in S city drafted by the AR group turned out to have several security issues. The experts analyzed that it would fall apart even before completion.In the hour of crisis, the CEO, co-founder - William Brown - was nowhere to be seen.The rumors said he was running after a woman after being in an ‘off’ state for more than a month. Felix - the CEO’s trusted assistant, and Albert - co-founder and Chief Legal Officer - were left to pick up the slack. Felix was sick, and the constant coughing and running nose were not encouraging.Albert’s focus was more on his cold and estranged girlfriend of a few weeks only.Asteria heard the news and came back to support them, but she was out of her depth and only really served to distract an already out-of-depth Felix. AR Group was bein
The AR group was in crisis, and CARE was under scrutiny.Yet the founders -William and Rosaline - spent their days in each other’s arms.They seemed unbothered about what was going on outside.They had spent a month and a half apart without even talking on the phone.And a month before that, they had been in a tense state, with Rosaline getting nightmares and flinching from everyone’s touch.That had been a difficult phase as Rosaline would instinctively flinch and fight as soon as she was touched when her eyes were closed.It had taken one month of William’s meticulous care before Rosaline finally broke through and got better.But before they could relish in the joy, their intricate investigation and trap had finally laid fruit.The time had come for retaliation, and they had formed a plan.Acting as they fought had not been easy, though the cold frosty atmosphere had come naturally.William and Tessa had wanted to postpone the plan as neither were happy with the idea of Rosaline cel
The press conference got quite the viewership.AR Group and CARE, albeit separately, had been in the limelight over the last two years.The recent mud-slinging had been quite the trending topic. The press conference started on a quiet note as the host began by introducing William as the CEO and co-founder of AR Group.He had always been mysterious and low-key, so this was quite the revelation.Many viewers were astonished, knowing that the rising power in business was such a young man. The aura of mystery had increased as he wore a mask and hat to hide his face. Some were quite impressed with his level of success, while others thought it was proof of allegations as he could not have legit been that successful by himself. The host listed out his degrees and achievements over the years.Moreover, he showed actual awards and certifications with a copy from the police that validated the legitimacy.The host changed tunes and called upon the people from SOS, the police, the orphanage,
On the other side, the entire AR Group watched the press conference together.Felix, who was now miraculously cured, handed in several termination letters to many employees who had been making things difficult for AR Group.The people who firmly supported the firm and helped were marked and admired.Albert gave everyone two days off, knowing William wouldn’t return before having his fill of his girlfriend. He decided to spend that time with Tessa instead.They had been going strong, though he was not very happy about Tessa constantly dragging Rosaline into their relationship.Felix went to NewT city with Asteria to help her out with work and spend more time with her and the CARE inhabitants. He liked the atmosphere in CARE. It was more like a big joint family than an orphanage or elderly care.Besides, helping with the new CARE branch construction meant a new set of responsibilities. He was gearing up for it.On the other hand, William and Rosaline strolled around the beach leisurel
William locked the gate and the doors carefully and reactivated the burglar alarm before making his way inside the house.He sat on the bed with her still in his arms as he asked, “Hungry?”“And if I said yes, would you feed me?”Rosaline teased, fiddling with the buttons on his shirt.“Yes, anything for you, my little piggy.” He said, biting the tip of her nose.“Then, I want chocolate lava cake.”Rosaline said as she slipped out of his arms and to the bed, wrapping herself in the comforter.“Be right back,” William said, shaking his head at her childishness. When William came back, the room looked different.It had only taken him a few minutes to heat choco-lava cake and plate it.But the bedroom now had all the lights closed. Silk drapes were twirling in the four-poster bed.All lights were off, and there were scented candles on the table. Rosaline was lying on the bed with her face buried in the pillow, no longer wrapped in a comforter but wearing sexy lingerie with a transparen
