On the other side of the world, a man slept on a hard bed, frowning and muttering unintelligible words.

His fair triangular face was full of sweat.

He woke up with a start and panted heavily.

Tossing his blanket aside, he slowly walked, feeling the surroundings with his hands.

After slow pacing, he reached the bed on the other side of the room.

He caressed the round face of a woman who closed her big eyes just as he touched her.

He caressed her sharp nose and plump lips.

“I am so sorry. I could not protect you. When I close my eyes, I see you asking me where our baby is.” The man whispered.

The woman was listening intently and could barely hear him.

“Sometimes I feel lucky that I lost my eyes, for I do not have to see the questions and the accusations in your eyes. I love you.”

He held her hand and placed his head on the side of the bed. He sat on the floor and fell asleep.

The woman blinked her eyes and showed a satisfied smile.

She had taken him to several doctors, and they had all

    Four months ago!Everyone had gone to the lake house to scatter Rosaline and William’s ashes in the lake.Jack and Albert had broken the somber atmosphere and ushered everyone to the basement. They had made everyone leave their gadgets and all their jewelry and made them wear clothes they had prepared in advance.Tessa felt uneasy, seeing Albert and Jack acting weird and secretive.Anthony urged everyone to sit comfortably and maybe take support.“Uncle, what’s going on?” Tristen asked.He had his suspicions, but he did not dwell on them to stop himself from being disappointed.Anthony merely hushed him and told everyone to be quiet.Jack went to the gym room and escorted a very alive and pregnant Rosaline.The room fell silent.They could even hear a pin drop.Rosaline looked at Tessa, who had frozen in place, and uttered, “Tess!”Tessa ran towards her, but Jack stopped her, saying, “Careful, she is pregnant.”Tessa shook her head, “How is this possible?”Rosaline embraced her, clut

    Anthony filled in the rest._Liam spotted a few people in the Scott Group who seemed shady.Moreover, he saw Supriya Lanz close to Scott Group with people with whom she shouldn’t be acquainted.To those who don’t know, Supriya Lanz is our neighbor, her mother is Bella’s friend, and thus she had been a close acquaintance until six years ago.She is obsessed with Liam. Six years ago, she drugged him, stalked him, hired people to assault Lina, and ended up with a restraining order.She was monitored for three years after those events to ensure she maintained a distance from Lina and Liam. And she had abided by the rules.Liam got suspicious and asked me to help him cover Supriya.She had been in touch with a few people from the Scott Group who were planning a coup.It included someone thrown out of CARE for attempted rape and arrested. And a few people from the syndicate that Lina had helped disband.All these people held a grudge against Lina.They had not done anything yet. Although t

    Isabella asked, “The body found in the car?”Anthony answered, “It was a dummy made in Lina’s image. The DNA test is correct. The dummy had Lina’s blood smeared on it, the raw material also had Lina’s blood and other fluids mixed on it, and had Lina’s hair, fingernails, etc.”Aria asked, “It was still quite dangerous for both of them.”Anthony shrugged, “Liam grew up in the military. He is well trained and qualified to be a soldier. He can jump out of a speeding vehicle without a scratch on him.”He added when everyone seemed unconvinced.“Besides, it was a calculated risk. People are after his life - intelligent people with enormous patience and willpower to run such a long con. People who understand him and the people around him inside out.”“The choice was between taking the risk and neutralizing the threat at the root. Or living with a target on the back.”“They could not live their entire life worrying when and where he, his wife, his child, and the people around him will be harm

    Aria asked, “What about us?”Anthony looked at her for a while but did not quite have an exact answer for her.Rosaline answered for people who Anothony did not know well._Go back to the AR mansion. You should be the beneficiary after William and my death. Take care of Anna and her son for me, please. And Leena and Jenna too.And go to CARE from time to time. My bodyguard should follow you around.Anna, you two also go back to the AR mansion. Make sure to act quieter than usual but don’t be too grief-stricken. No amount of grief will ever overshadow your happiness of having a child.Don’t go out too much. And if someone asks, talk about us in the past tense. Act sad and choke a little. It usually stops people from asking too many questions.If they persist, act as if you are afraid of being suspected of having a hand in our accident. Give the mastermind food for thought.Anna, you and the baby stay put in an AR mansion, and do not go out under any circumstances. The doctors and nurs

    Anthony finally looked at Elisa, George, Danial, and Isabella, who had been quiet.Elisa was holding her daughter’s hand and had tears in her eyes.Anthony solemnly said, “You four are the trickiest.”George answered with a grievance in his voice, “Don’t worry about us. We know there is nothing we can do apart from urging the authorities.”Rosaline proposed, “Mom, act depressed after you go home. Eat just enough to get proper nutrition and lose weight.”“After a few weeks, Tess will convince you to go to T city in my Villa. Go there, just you and Dad. Don’t take anyone else.”“Dad, you guys will have to take the semester off. I know Mom was planning anyway to take care of the baby.”Elisa nodded at her, “Okay.”Isabella said, “We will continue with the investigation. There will be a board meeting in a few days. We will probably get some clue if the mastermind is after Scott Group.”Danial added, “Yeah. I have already notarized my will, transferring all my shares to Liam and Ash. With

    Asteria reluctantly nodded.Tessa asked, “What about their spies?”Albert replied, “We let them be. We don’t let out anything. We will have to wait until we know the mastermind before we attack them.”“On the flip side, this is our chance to identify people who would turn. Better to have no help at all than unreliable ones.”Anthony approved, “They are watching you closely. We are monitoring your watchers closely.”“We will warn and protect you if there is any danger. But make sure no one sees through your disguise.”“Do not even breathe the word that you know they are alive. You never know who is eavesdropping. You don’t know if someone has tapped your phones or bugged your room.”Aria queried, “Is it not risky to tell us? As happy as I am, I feel you should not have told us.”Anthony frowned, “Lina was adamant about telling you guys after the funeral.”Rosaline smiled sadly, “I did not want you guys to get sick or something in grief. We are putting our lives in your hands.”Tess sat

    Anthony nodded in approval. Tristen had good senses despite the frivolous attitude.Tristen exclaimed, “Uncle, I did great, right?”Anthony frowned without saying anything.Rosaline mocked him right away.“He was just about thinking you did great when you opened your mouth and ruined it.”Tristen asked through gritted teeth, “How did you even know?”Rosaline shot him down. “Did you forget William has facial paralysis?”Tristen mumbled, “He does not have facial paralysis when he is with you.”Rosaline clicked her tongue, “No use being jealous.”Everyone finally laughed at that.They were all relieved that the kids were alright. They would manage despite the bleak road ahead, as long as they were okay.Rosaline knew why Tristen had cracked everyone up and smiled at him gratefully.He winked at her, and she shook her head.Isabella noticed this small interaction and smiled. She recalled Tessa mentioning their weird equation.After scattering the ashes, they all left.Some took weeks, som

    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
