The next few months went in relative peace. The ones responsible for framing AR Group and CARE got punished.AR Group and CARE had both risen in popularity. There was speculation on the internet about what Rosaline - founder of CARE - looked like and her relationship with William. Many conspiracy theories were out there, but none came near to the truth.Neither the Brown nor the Dayne family had questioned the pair on them being the founders of the two organizations.Their relationship with the families was cordial, and Rosaline’s relationship with her family kept improving.William had hired a bodyguard. He excelled in reconnaissance and was good with shadowing and surveillance. He also planned to train a few people in advance for better security. Timothy was doing great. He had made a few friends and was doing quite well.Though Rosaline had not been happy with the number of subjects he was taking, she was, nonetheless, proud of the effort he was putting into it. Albert and Te
They went to Aunty Aria’s home after laying out the overall plan for AR Group for the next five to ten years. Sure, there would be a good number of changes, but having a good overall vision helped gear things accordingly.Rosaline helped Aria in the kitchen while Tessa chatted with John.John was a lawyer, and she learned quite a few things from him.Rosaline called Tessa over when they were making filets.The three got along quite well.William would frequently glance at the kitchen and smile, looking at Aria and Rosaline getting along well. They had such a good rapport.He thought that was what a home should be like, with people getting along well.Thankfully, the equation between their own families was improving as well. John had noticed William’s occasional glances at the kitchen, so he could not help but tease him.“Al, is he always that clingy with his girlfriend?” John asked seriously.Albert had noticed the mischievous glint in his father’s eyes.“Yes, Dad. She had him whip
William and Rosaline dropped Tessa off at her apartment, while Felix stayed behind at Albert’s house.They then made their way to the penthouse. Rosaline had noticed that William was quiet during dinner and on their way back.He was usually quiet anyway, and he had been attentive to her during dinner. But Rosaline sensed something was off about him.“William?”“Huh?”“What’s on your mind?” She probed directly.“Why do you think there is something on my mind?” William smiled at her.“I can sense it.” She huffed proudly.“My woman is so smart and intuitive.” William teased her, confirming her doubts. “What is it?” She asked. “Let’s not talk while on the way.” He said, holding her hands in his.“You are making me nervous!” She stated, “Are you going to break up with me?” William brought the car to an abrupt halt at her question.“What do you mean break-up? Aren’t we doing great now? Why would you even think about breaking up?”He asked with equal nervousness and anger. She was stunn
“We could have put some clothes on,” Rosaline complained.“It takes time. Now, what were you saying in the car.” William asked.“It does not take that much time. Besides, you were not time conscious when you sucked me dry in the bathroom.” She fumed.“I did not hear you complaining when I did that. You were moving in sync, and you were the one who set the rhythm.” He retorted with a smirk.“You are so shameless.” She had nothing to add as her face went scarlet. “Can you talk, please?” William rubbed her inflamed cheeks. “When we were in the kitchen, I went out to pick up a call and overheard Uncle talking about how he felt for Aunty from the beginning.”“Then you seemed a bit off during dinner. You were distracted when you guys were doing the cleaning and the dishes.”“In the car, you suddenly said you needed to talk but did not want to say anything in the car.”Rosaline explained.William did not understand what she was trying to say, “Why did you suddenly say break up?”Rosaline l
Rosaline pushed William away and rolled the blanket up, wrapping herself up and raising her eyes at him in the provocation. William bit her lips and pleaded, “Baby, it’s cold out here.”Rosaline looked at him up and down, trailing her eyes slowly over his body.From his deep bottomless eyes reflecting her face to his straight nose to his kissable lips glistening from their kisses earlier to his chiseled chin to his Adam's apple - she gulped.She trailed further down - From his collar bones to his chest with light hair to the abdominal muscles to the hardened object between his legs protruding further as she eyed him slowly, gulping audibly and licking her lips.“I don’t think you are cold. If anything, love, I think you must be feeling hot.” She finally slurred.“You little minx.”William flicked her forehead as he unwrapped her and held her tightly underneath him while pulling the blanket over them.“Tell me something, William. You keep calling me little this and little that. You mu
Rosaline fell asleep on top of him just like that. She woke up after some time feeling something wet between her legs.William coaxed her back to sleep. The next time she woke up, it was slightly over 5 am, and she had woken up to drink some water only to realize William wasn’t in bed. She hurriedly put on some clothes, stretched for a bit, and looked around, only to realize he was not in the apartment.Then it hit her - he must have gone out for a run.She decided to surprise him and prepared simple rolls with a bit of meat and lots of veggies as filling and a smoothie.When she finished cooking, William was not back yet, so she decided to tease him.She removed all traces of having done anything in the kitchen, took off her clothes, and went back to bed.A few minutes later, William came back. He was planting slowly, and she could smell sweat even before he got close to her.As soon as William changed his shoes, he came to check on her, kissed her on the forehead, tucked her in,
The next time Rosaline woke up, it was around 8 am.She was still in William's embrace. She instinctively called his name. Upon hearing his reply, she snuggled close in his embrace and closed her eyes. Then she suddenly recalled what had happened in the morning.She had prepared a surprise, but he had ruined it.She bolted upright and pulled the blanket to cover herself, realizing she was still naked.William was surprised and looked at her questioningly as she glared at him.“Baby, what’s wrong?” He asked as he slowly reached out to her, afraid of startling her.“I prepared breakfast for you and planned to surprise you. You have ruined it.” She grumbled. William laughed, which made her punch him in the chest.‘How could she be so adorable?’“Baby, I had the most delicious breakfast that exists. I would not call it a ruined surprise.”William consoled her, which only made her choke.“How can you be so shameless so early in the morning?” Rosaline glared at him.“You did not think I w
Albert spent the next few days traveling to and from S city and Apex city.He had wanted to talk to Tessa about their relationship but did not get the time as they were busy.He did not want to say his piece and leave. She was special. Albert could not bear to treat her otherwise.He had thought about their relationship long and hard. Although the dynamic between him and Tessa was not the same as his parents or William and Rosaline, he could not bear to just break up with her just like that.At that time, they were more friends than lovers, and the vibe they had was comfortable - like snuggling inside a warm blanket.It might not be burning hot and bright, but whatever they had was too precious to lose.He visited Johnson Group of hotels and did an impromptu check on their accounts, taxes, and royalties they had paid over the years, making sure there were no gaps or misconduct.He knew Tessa was busy and wanted to ensure no one was taking advantage of that. He had not planned it no
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
