Finding my way to you Chapter 275 - Sibling bond
Albert froze.William closed his eyes and hugged Rosaline tight, his body trembling with emotions.Tessa hugged Albert and patted his back for some time before he found his voice.“How can that be? Why would you even run the tests?”“I know it’s a lot to take in, and I can see now that we probably should not have done the info dump on you like that. But it will be okay. I am here.” Tessa held him and tried to comfort him.Albert hugged her back and took deep breaths to calm himself.He looked at William. Judging by his reaction, there was something he did not know.It took a long time for both the brothers to calm down.Rosaline looked at William. She asked, in a quiet voice, “Do you want to tell him yourself, or should I?”William only held her tighter and hid his face on her chest.“Al. I think you should hear it from your mother directly. It’s not my story to tell. So, let me tell you what I told Tess.”Rosaline took a deep breath as she continued. “William is Danial Scott’s son,

William stood at the door for a long time, unable to sort his emotions and get inside.Albert and Tessa had already gone in and called his parents.Rosaline held his hands and leaned against him, letting him know she was there for him.William took a deep breath and went inside to find everyone seated in the living room.Aunty Aria and Uncle John were looking at everyone curiously.William sat down with Rosaline almost sitting in his lap, much to her embarrassment. “You kids are being too dramatic these days. What’s with the weird expression on everyone’s faces?” Aria joked.“Aunty, Al must have told you I had gotten swapped at birth. Right?” William asked.His grip on Rosaline tightened as he tried to be calm.“Yes. Loosen your grip, Will. You are hurting her.” Aria frowned.“I am sorry.” William loosened his grip immediately.“It does not hurt. Focus.” Rosaline consoled him.“My mother’s name is Isabella Grant.”As soon as William uttered her maiden name, Aria’s whole body trembled
Finding my way to you Chapter 277 - The other side of the story
Aria calmed down after a long time.William fed her some warm water and juice to maintain her blood sugar.They called everyone in, and she slowly told them her side of the story._My father’s family was traditional and valued boys over girls.My grandfather kicked our family away when I was five years old. My mother had health issues and could not have another child.In those years, when we were away, my father worked hard to support us, but his parents and uncles would come now and then, threaten him, and take away all the money he had at that time.I could not go to school. I did not understand it back then, but years later, I found out that it was because a rich girl liked my father and wanted to marry him.Her family promised to give a large sum of money as a dowry to my father’s family. And a house along with maids for my father and the girl.The condition was he had to divorce my mother and cut off all ties with me as well.He refused and got kicked out.They would frequently
Finding my way to you Chapter 278 - Sell
I instinctively hid the fact that my periods had started. I didn’t know why, but I knew I should hide it.Since I was malnourished, it was irregular. I would get periods every 3-5 months. That made it easier to cover up.I also wrapped a piece of cloth on my chest.They only gave us rags, so clothing shabbily was our only option. I deliberately cut my hair haphazardly, making it look thinner and brittle than it was and changing my looks for the worse. I did all of those instinctively. I did not have a coherent thought for doing that.But I realized why when I overheard them talking amongst themselves when I was 20.They had wanted to sell me off to someone for a price, but since I was very bad looking, flat-chested, and had not even had my periods yet, I was not going to fetch a price.Nor could I be used as a birthing cow for the rich. Besides, selling me off meant they would lose their servant.By then, they had already gotten accustomed to having me do chores for them. Selling m
Finding my way to you Chapter 279 - Help
One day, she came to the library as usual but asked for help.I was running out of time.I only thought for a few minutes before I agreed to her condition. The next day, I sneaked Venus out, but instead of going to the library, I went to Isabella, who was waiting for us.There were no surveillance cameras in that area.They stuffed me into the trunk and made Venus lie down under the seat. Isabella was driving a convertible.They kept the hood open, her butler was driving, and a bodyguard was in the front seat.Isabella was sitting with her arms sprawled as if she was enjoying the night breeze.After a 20 minutes drive, we stopped in a remote area that did not have cameras. We moved to an SUV which already had a doctor, a nurse, and a maid.Isabella drove in the same position back to her parent's house. She would often go out for drives like that at night.She sent Venus and me to S city. A Villa was already ready for us.The doctor gave us full body checkups and prepared a diet plan
Finding my way to you Chapter 280 - Pregnant
After Venus left, Isabella brought her husband’s semen sample, and we did the artificial insemination.I had been following the doctor’s advice. After half a year, I was healthy and fit for conceiving.Fortunately, it worked on the first try itself.Isabella had traveled back and forth between S city and her husband’s place over the past half-year.When the doctor confirmed I was pregnant, she went back again.She seemed to have announced her pregnancy after six weeks. I had done two prenatal checks, and everything was good.She came back when I was already two and a half months pregnant. She did not leave after that.I don’t know the whole story, but her husband’s family was complicated. There was a lot of in-fighting, and people played dirty. She was hiding while her husband was working hard to sort things out to make their home a safe place for them.Isabella had always been a strong, opinionated, and very kind person.She, unfortunately, had complications and couldn’t have a baby
Finding my way to you Chapter 281 - New beginning
I met John in the library a few weeks after I began to work there. He was always the first person to come in. He was in college and studying diligently.He asked if I could sneak him inside before the opening time as he was trying to get more credits soon and had to study hard.I agreed because he looked like a decent person.He never misplaced the books and always returned them in the same condition, if not better. He was soft-spoken, merry, and funny but not frivolous. Little by little, we started to talk.He would help me arrange the books and clean the library before opening. He said it was to return the favor for sneaking him inside.He was very respectful, which was very new to me. Isabella was more like a friend - I don’t know, our relationship was complicated.But John was different.He never intruded in my private space. He respected the boundary I had in place. I think he only asked my name after we had gotten acquainted for a few weeks.Since he helped me with the work in
Finding my way to you Chapter 282 - Love Myself
John came to the library half an hour before the opening time, later than usual but still early.He had the admission forms with him. We never mentioned the incident again.He helped me fill out the forms, and things went as usual.Three months later, I got admitted to college. John guided me but told me to do everything by myself.Slowly, I got the hang of all the standard procedures of how things go in a college.By then, I had saved up some money for admission fees.I ate and slept in the restaurant. I walked everywhere. I had only spent a little money on clothes and saved everything I had earned in the six months I had been working.I did well in the entrance exam, so I received a scholarship. After everything, I still had some money left.I was thinking of renting a place but wasn’t sure, so I asked John. He said that since the restaurant was paying me well, I was getting free food and accommodation, and the security was good, I shouldn’t leave it and spend my hard-earned money

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
