Finding my way to you Chapter 31 - Stroll
Talking about their likes and hobbies, college, and work, they did not even realize how late it had been.Skipping the movies and the pub, William brought Rosaline to a nearby trailer park.They chatted as they took a long walk.“Are you still mad?” William enquired Rosaline, who had been silent since they came out.“Why would I be mad?” she snapped.“I thought we had already agreed that I’d pay for food, drinks, and transport.”“I know. I just don’t like people paying my bills. I’m an adult already.” Rosaline sighed. “I did not think it like that.” William clarified.“I’m working, while you just graduated. I’m the reason for this mess. I just thought I should foot the bill. No treating you like a kid.”“hmm”“If that bugs you so much, let’s split the bill next time.”“Okay”“Besides, you already know how much the probability of you being underage has bugged me. I would never treat you as a kid.”“...” Rosaline was speechless.“...”William changed the topic. “Forget it. Do you want
Finding my way to you Chapter 32 - A life lived well
William brought brunch and waited for Rosaline to open the door.After ten minutes, she opened the door in her half-asleep state.An hour later, all three of them were well fed, and William snuck Rosaline from the secret door to avoid the stalkers and brought her to his house. “This is not a house.”“Excuse me?”“This is a Villa or maybe a Mansion, not a house.” “OH”“...” “I still think this is a house. It is, in fact, a home. Just head inside, and you’ll know what I mean.”Rosaline squinted at him as he led her to the living room.The “house” was a three-story Mansion with an outhouse, huge lawn, a big garden, and a garage.It had a separate garden on the back with neatly arranged trees - primarily several kinds of fruits and medicinal plants.The gate and entire boundary looked like they had been refitted and reconstructed with better security.With just a glance, you could see it was nigh impossible to trespass inside.Moreover, Rosaline knew hidden cameras covered every inch o

William took Rosaline on the house tour.He explained all the security details and what he planned with the house - the renovations and the things they needed to fix. The garage housed a ‘1967 Chevrolet Camaro’ that had Rosaline wide-eyed. “Is this..?”“Yes. It came with the house.”“Wow” “I’m so jealous.”“I’ll lend it to you after I fix it.”“You know how to fix cars?”“Not really. But I’m learning. Besides, I have time.” William shrugged. “This must have cost you a fortune.”“I told you I got a steal deal.”William explained since she seemed curious.“The old man’s only granddaughter was born and raised overseas. As she settled abroad, she simply wanted to get rid of this house.”“So, she sold it cheap - and by cheap, I mean much lower than the lowest market price. I think some bad memories are attached to her parents.”“Did you notice there’s no picture of the kid and grandkid after the woman's passing?”Rosaline nodded but wasn’t convinced.“Hmm. Even with that, it must have b
Finding my way to you Chapter 34 - Lucked out
William continued as Rosaline listened with rapt attention.“While registering, I said Albert and I should be co-founders and equal partners. But his parents made it a 70-30 split as it was primarily my idea, and I had done all the preliminary work.”“I still don’t think it’s fair, but they never budged. Aunty also added a rule that we can’t withdraw the funds from the company until we both reach legal age.”“In the next 6-7 years that followed, we developed three different games and five software. We had also incorporated ads for two products we genuinely liked into the game, which turned out to be quite profitable.”“Uncle Gray handled all the legal proceedings. He negotiated that we get a profit share rather than the 1-time sale of the copyright. That way, if our products become popular, we get more. Conversely, we don’t get much if they don’t work.”“Because we still have the copyright, we still keep on making some money when some related merchandise becomes popular. Keeping the c

William smiled.‘That’s what she picked up.’‘She doesn't care about money.’He replied with complete honesty.“I do! She is the most resilient woman I have ever met. She is the perfect blend of all the good attributes a person can have, in my opinion.”“She is resilient, hard-working, conscientious, and retains a positive outlook on life. I kind of feel ashamed of myself every time I meet her. I don’t know how to explain it, but I guarantee you’ll understand when you meet her.”“Huh?”“Just saying.” “Anyway, Miss Lexi, are you satisfied with my explanation?”“Hahahaha”“I’ll take that as a yes.”“You are so arrogant.”“What do you think? Tell me all your ideas, not just related to interior design but overall. We’ll collate and plan it properly.”“I think it’s excellent. We should arrange these pictures exactly as they are now. It would be a pity to put them away, though I think we should get the granddaughter’s consent first.”“My thoughts exactly. I already have the consent, as long
Finding my way to you Chapter 36 - Phased out
“Let’s get you inside.”William handed her a bottle of fresh coconut water to Rosaline as they sat in the living room.He brought over the draft he had been working on and laid it over the table as they both pondered on it.William had already marked most of the things she had highlighted. They cross-checked everything as they made notes and adjusted based on their combined ideas.“I think I’m on a lucky streak in this house.”“Huh?” “What do you mean?”“First, I got this at an insanely affordable price. Secondly, I got an extremely talented designer for free.”“Thank you for the complaint. But I don’t seem to have helped you design anything yet.”“I think I have seen enough to make an accurate judgment.”“Well, continuing your lucky streak, how about I introduce you to someone quite talented in doing carpentry work?”She further added when he looked at her quizzically.“The quality of the wood used for all this furniture is not something you will be able to buy these days, even if yo
Finding my way to you Chapter 37 - Someone with stories
Rosaline smiled.William seemed to value Aunty Aria a great deal. She sounded impressive based on his words.“She sounds like someone with stories.”“She is. Unfortunately, it’s not my place to tell, at least not until you get acquainted with her. She is the kind of person I hope I’ll grow to be. Be it in principles or character.”“It’ll be my pleasure to meet her if I’m fortunate enough.”“She will like you.”“Are you always like this?”William frowned, “Like what?”“Blunt? Talkative? Annoying?”William laughed. He had never imagined that there would be a day when someone called him talkative.However, he decided to answer her rhetorical question seriously.He wanted to know her, and he wanted her to know him.“Blunt - yes. It’s a waste of time to be long-winded.”“Talkative - most definitely not. I think I have talked to you more than I have talked to Miss Johnson Tessa in the last 3-4 years I have known her.”“And tell me, Miss Lexi, why do I think it’s a good thing you find me ann
Finding my way to you Chapter 38 - Grief
When they were leaving, Rosaline hid an envelope on the counter instead of paying.William could tell she had passed on something bulk, judging by the bulge of the big envelope.“Care to explain?” He asked when they were out of it.“When Uncle’s son was 8, he passed away due to leukemia as they could not find a match. We did not even know he was sick. Both of them had such a happy attitude.”“Uncle Kevin’s wife passed away a few months after giving birth. After his son passed away, he was inconsolable. We did not know what to do, so we kept coming here every day and talked to him and joked about being hungry and starving to keep him busy.”“He slowly pulled himself back, but part of him will always grieve for his child. We try to support him the best we can, but so far, we have not managed to help a lot.”“We just contact the hospital for his health details and pass on medication when we can.” Rosaline smiled sadly.William saw a new Rosaline today. A quick and professional Rosaline w

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
Finding my way to you Chapter 331 - In your arms
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
Finding my way to you Chapter 329 - Innocent
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
Finding my way to you Chapter 325 - CARE and cases
“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
