Finding my way to you Chapter 52 - Ambition
William smiled at how quickly Rosaline caught him.He jokingly said.“It’s hard to fool you.”“Why doesn’t it sound like a compliment?”“It’s not. I’d love to fool you once in a while.”“Boring!” She rolled her eyes.“I have a rough plan for what I’d like to develop in the next 3-7 years. For that, I need an interior designer.”“So?”“I like your work. From a company perspective, I have never thought about having an in-house designer so far. When we start the development work, we’ll need to partner with an interior design firm, preferably someone with notable works and some experience. I was hoping you could be that person.”“Huh! Do you think I fit the criteria?”“Yes!”“Aren’t you a little too confident? I mean, you have not seen any of my work. And I just graduated.”“That’s not true. I have seen a lot of your designs.”“I don’t think the designs for your house count.”“I beg to differ. Besides, that’s not the only thing I have seen.”“What do you mean?” she asked with a frown.“Yo
Finding my way to you Chapter 53 - Hobby
William cleared his throat and asked.“Shall we leave?”Rosaline came back to her senses and nodded.“Oh! Yeah. Sure. Let me wrap this up real quick.”After chatting pleasantly during the 40 minutes drive, William brought her to a cafe outside the city.Rosaline was confused as this was different from the places they usually visited.“This is?” She inquired. “It’s a surprise. After you,” William gestured for her to enter. The shabby-looking place was even worse from the inside.But William led her to a door in the remote corner.Unexpectedly, it opened up to a staircase that led to a very comfy buffet. “Wow!”“I see you like it,” William smirked.Rosaline ignored him and asked, “How do you know this place? I have never heard of it.”“That’s because you did not go to military school.”“Excuse me?”“This was opened by an alumnus of the AJ military school. He is a coach there and opened this as a hobby.”“Strange hobby.”“He and his wife both like cooking, and so does his son. He had

William teased her further as he saw Rosaline blush.“Senior, it took me such a long time to coax her to go out with me. Don’t embarrass her, or she might leave me.”Rosaline glared at him, wondering if he was trying to help or embarrass her.“Alright. Alright. I’ll leave you two be.”Senior Jacobsen laughed.“Little girl, you should keep him on his toes. My missus says if a woman does not make her man fidget, she is not worth his effort. I think it’s her excuse for giving me a headache, but it works well enough.”He chuckled at himself.“I’ll keep that in mind.” Rosaline smiled at him.“Will, I like her. Make sure to keep her.” He said, patting William’s shoulders. “I’ll do my best.”“You guys go ahead. I’ll whip something delicious for you guys.”“Senior, on our way here, we were getting followed.”“What? Who has the nerve to follow my student?” Rosaline was surprised at the cold aura that suddenly surrounded the easy-going man.“Remember the girl with the love letter who framed me
Finding my way to you Chapter 55 - Our home
Rosaline curiously asked.“What are you thinking about?”William shook his head.“I’ll tell you later.”“You are being weird today.”“Really?”“Uh”“How so?” “I’ll tell you later,” Rosaline replied with a smirk.That had William laughing out loud, a sight that made Rosaline’s heart itch.“Anyway, what exactly did you have in mind regarding your proposal earlier?” Rosaline felt something was missing as William sounded like he had wanted to give her something in the name of compensation.She could not figure out how it tied to collaboration with his company.“If interested, you can register a company in your name. You can use the AR mansion as your office premises while registering.”“I wanted to give you a piece of land close to that area to build your office in the future when you are ready.”Rosaline was speechless.“Are you kidding me?”“Why would you think that?”“Any piece of land around 5 miles from that area is exorbitantly priced. How could that be compensation?”“The way I s
Finding my way to you Chapter 56 - Kiss
After a delicious brunch, William and Rosaline evaded their stalkers and went to the AR mansion.They both needed to work as they were on a short vacation and would leave Apex city after that.As soon as Rosaline entered the house, she felt different.Perhaps because they were now officially dating, she felt rather shy being alone with him in his big house. Noticing the flush on her ears and her uneasy expression, William wanted to tease her. He hugged her from behind, almost brushing his lips to her ears, and said ambiguously.“There’s no one here, you know.”“So?” Rosaline feigned ignorance, though her racing heartbeat betrayed her. “Why are you so nervous?” William asked, blowing on her ears. “I was just thinking about the designs,” Rosaline said, pretending to be calm.“Oh! And here I thought it was because I was holding you so close.” William teased, feigning mock disappointment.Finally realizing that he was teasing her after noticing her uneasiness, she turned around and pu

William smiled at her reaction and closed in to kiss her. Rosaline closed her eyes when she felt his lips slowly brushing hers. He kissed her gently, pecking her all over her lips without breaking contact. When he did not feel any rejection, he slowly licked her lips, which made her tremble in his arms. He paused as she reached out to grab her shoulders.When she did not push him, he continued to trace her lips slowly with his tongue.Rosaline felt weak on her knees and tightened her hold on his shoulders.Satisfied with her reaction, he smiled at her lips and began to suck them gently.Alternating between her upper and lower lips, he continued to suck them tenderly. As if he was caressing the most precious treasure in the world. Rosaline’s hands went from his shoulders to his neck as she leaned further into him.Her legs felt like jelly, and she would not be standing without William holding her up. Relishing the kiss, she tried to respond by slowly sucking his lips back.William
Finding my way to you Chapter 58 - Epiphany
William held Rosaline tighter as he asked.“Lexi?”“um”“Can I ask you for a favor?”“What is it?”“If you ever suspect I might break your heart, don’t leave me. Just talk to me. If you get confused or insecure or think I’m not trustworthy, just ask me.”“What are you talking about?” Rosaline thought something was wrong with him and tried to move to see his face.But he hugged her tighter instead.“Just promise me.”“What’s wrong?”“It suddenly dawned on me that you meant what you said in the restaurant that day. And I had this epiphany that you hugged me and left without saying anything.”“I’m sorry.” Rosaline could feel his panic.She felt horrible that she made him uncomfortable when all he had ever done was made her feel good and happy.No matter how she saw it, this relationship was unfair to him.‘Do I deserve to be with him? He is excellent. I feel like I’m more trouble than I’m worth.’But William thought otherwise.“Don’t be. If a day like that comes, I’m sure there must be s
Finding my way to you Chapter 59 - Investment
The next day, while Rosaline and William were working in his house, Tessa called asking to get something for uncle Burber Kevin.So William sneaked Rosaline back to Tessa’s hotel before driving to a mall while being followed. Rosaline and Tessa had decided to help Uncle Kevin with his joint, but after discussing it for days, they came up with nothing. “Hey, Tess and I were renovating Uncle’s burger joint. Do you perhaps remember the layout of their place?”“I think so. What do you have in mind?”“We were thinking of renovating his place and renaming it with his wife and son’s name or something meaningful. We have been discussing it for ages and coming up with possible plans. But we are out of ideas as we both know he won’t agree to let us work for him or take so much as a dime from us.”“Hmm. Let me think.” “How about you do it without telling him?”“And how are we supposed to do that?”“Well, for starters, you could send him away and trick him into it.”“I guess we could tell him t

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
Finding my way to you Chapter 330 - You must live to win
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

“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
