Finding my way to you Chapter 250 - Wedding
A few weeks later, Jack and Leena shared the good news. They had fixed their wedding date.It wasn’t a surprise to anyone as they had been dating for years, and everyone knew they would eventually get married. Leena wanted a destination wedding, and Rosaline promptly recommended her Villa.It would save them a lot of money and make things quite convenient as if it was their own, so they could adjust as required and make some slight renovations to accommodate all the guests.Leena’s family wanted to pay some compensation to Rosaline, who merely scowled at them.“Aunty, please don’t say things like that. It makes me feel like a stranger. Jack and Leena are my best friends. They would do the same for me.”Jack’s father chuckled to ease the atmosphere.“Ah, finally, raising and spoiling this silly girl has paid off.”Rosaline teased in return.“Uncle, you are ruining my credibility. Acting coquettish works for everyone. You are the only exception.”Before Jack’s father could reply, Will
Finding my way to you Chapter 251 - Cooperation
William was holding her in his arms while reading a contract when Rosaline woke up in the morning.It looked like the same contract he had been reading the night before.“What is this? You seem to be reading this repeatedly.” Rosaline asked with her eyes still closed as she snuggled closer to him.“This came from Scott Group, a co-operation of sorts with, I believe, the intent to merge later on. Very beneficial to AR Group. Read it after breakfast.” William surmised.“And you are conflicted,” Rosaline asked. Even with her eyes closed and sleep lingering on her head, she could tell his emotions.“Hmm. I would not be if I didn’t know Daniel was my biological father. All the points are in our favor. But.” William confided in her. “Then call him. Ask him if he is available on the weekend. Visit them. They are your biological parents, after all. And explain in person that you are not ready yet.”“You will think about cooperation and merger after AR Group goes public.”“Trust me! He won’t
Finding my way to you Chapter 252 - Visiting the biological family
The weekend was cramped for all the parties. Tessa and Rosaline flew to T city to show her Villa to Leena’s family.They had to start the wedding preparations and renovations or book a new venue if it did not work out. Albert had to run over to Apex city with Felix as a piece of land they were vying for was said to be in the market as per their reliable sources. William flew to Z city to meet his biological parents.Asteria, on the other hand, flew to Apex city. Anthony was back from his mission.He was beyond shocked by the revelations.He immediately took a day off to meet Asteria and to clarify things in person. Asteria was in the Brown family mansion and was waiting with bated breath to see her biological father for the first time. Anthony was stunned as soon as he laid eyes on the young woman who looked very much like his wife, although she had his eyes.Anabella did not know how to introduce them, so she only awkwardly said, “Anthony, this is Asteria. Ash, this is your fa
Finding my way to you Chapter 253 - Backstory
Anthony was surprised to hear Asteria’s words.Liam had only told them he got a post-grad degree. He had also never mentioned his freelancing work.But he was not surprised for long.Liam had always had a high IQ and was laser-focused.He had been disappointed to see Liam had no interest in the Army. Otherwise, he would have made a valuable asset. Asteria continued - I had a crush on him, but he treated me like air, even though I was Danial Scott’s daughter. Then, mom told me he might pay attention to me if I became successful in his related field.She said a decent person would like me for me and not for my family’s money or connections. I went to study Interior Design to match careers.It was difficult, but I completed grad school and post-grad in 5 years.By then, he was working in his own company.I asked Dad to help me get in, but he refused. Later I got an offer to be his assistant.At that time, I had no idea that Dad had made a deal with him in exchange for information on R

William arrived in Z city, drove to the outskirts, and stopped in front of a gorgeous 18th-century Villa. He showed his ID card at the gate, and they saluted him respectfully before allowing him in.He guessed his biological parents had briefed the guards. After a five minutes drive, he stopped by the main Mansion.A butler and a valet were waiting for him.He nodded at them politely despite being uncomfortable at being called - Young Master.Others had called him so before. But in the Brown family Mansion, Anthony had dispersed the name calling like that.He was led inside by the butler to the living room, where Danial and Isabella were waiting for him.He greeted them politely as he wasn’t sure how to address them.Danial seemed just as uncomfortable.Isabella was the one who broke the ice. “Come, William, sit here,” Isabella said, pointing at the seat opposite them.“Thank you.” William said, “please call me Will or Liam.”“I heard your family calls you Liam. Do you mind if we c
Finding my way to you Chapter 255 - Take over
They had a lively dinner while sharing tidbits about both families.Danial and Isabella both wanted to meet Anthony.William arranged a video call between them where they both planned to meet soon and swapped contacts. In the study, William finally broached the subject of his visit.“I am sorry, father. It’s not the right time for me to cooperate with you. I would have jumped the gun at the generous offer without loopholes. But now, even with a fair contract, I would rather not. At least not now.”Danial had expected it, but he still felt a little sad.“What do you have in mind?” He finally asked.“AR group has a lot of projects in the pipeline. After our major project in Apex city, we will most likely go public. After that, we can collaborate.” William reasoned.Danial pondered for a while and thought it was indeed a good idea. “How long do you think it will take?” “Five years at most if nothing goes wrong,” William said.Danial was not very happy with the timeline, “You will need

Finally, it was the day of Jack and Leena’s wedding. Being a destination wedding, it was immediate family and closest friends only.The wedding happened on the beach during sunset with the gorgeous view of the sun setting on the beach.Everything had been colored in golden and white, matching the sunset colors.It looked breathtaking.They had created an elevated platform in the garden and laid out a buffet.Leena looked otherworldly beautiful in her custom-designed gown.She looked ethereal with natural makeup to accentuate her features in an updo bun with loose fringes on the sides and a tiara on her head to keep the veil in place.Jack was in a navy blue tuxedo which matched in color with the flowers hand-embroidered on the lining of Leena’s veil.The photographer was the only outsider present.The decorators had completed the task and left.They were to swing by the buffet later and take away the decorations. All the youngsters worked together to hold a long drape covering Leena
Finding my way to you Chapter 257 - Stalemate
The next few months passed uneventfully. Eliyana canceled all her plans and stayed rooted in Apex city to ensure Rosaline and William would not get married. The couple continued to live together, and nothing changed in the status quo.But the stalemate with her grandmother was beginning to get to Rosaline.William noticed that Rosaline would often get lost in thought. When interrupted, she would always talk about food.One day he pulled her in his lap and asked directly.“Baby, you have been absent-minded the entire week. You completely messed up two of your meetings. You would have gotten kicked off your foundation if not for Tessa. What’s wrong?”Rosaline sighed as she leaned into him.“Grandma went for a check-up last week. Her blood pressure is still high. Mom told me she is being irritable and paranoid.”“I can’t help feeling I am the cause of all that.”“I promised I wouldn’t marry you until she agrees. I think she took it as I would marry you after she died. Like I am waiting

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

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
