Finding my way to you Chapter 79 - Showtime
It took another fifteen minutes to get everything sorted before they exited the showroom. “Where to next?” William asked her.Rosaline asked, “What do boys like?”“Are you buying a gift?” William’s face lit up.“Sure, what would you like?” Rosaline was stunned at his reaction but quickly covered it up. William had already noticed that, “Who are you buying a gift for?”“This got awkward very quickly.” Rosaline stammered.“Yeah, I can’t believe you want my option to buy gifts for others.”“Don’t be mad! Remember the friend I ran into yesterday, Tristen? I missed his 18th birthday party. Exams and all. So, I owe him a gift.”“...” William snorted, but he remembered she was absent at his brother’s 18th party.“Hey, it’s not like you have brought me a gift.”“I tried to. You rejected it.”“When did I reject it?”“...” William just glared at her.It took a few seconds before Rosaline realized when he had tried to give her a piece of exorbitantly priced land as a gift.“Can you not be so e
Finding my way to you Chapter 80 - Get rid of an engagement
William and Rosaline took their bags from the baggage counter and hailed a taxi to Tessa’s house. They did not speak en route as they were unsure who was listening.The only time they ditched and distracted their stalkers was when they had gone to AR Mansion. “What was that about?” William asked Rosaline as they settled in Tessa's living room.Tessa was still outside. She was working with Albert and Chandler handling Uncle Kevin’s matters, so they were the only ones in the house. “I saw my cousin,” Rosaline started, but she did not know where to begin.Tina had been something of an archenemy since before she could remember. She still did not know why Tina hated her so much. “I take it you are not close,” William surmised.“Not close would be an understatement of what we are. Honestly, I’m not sure what we are or why my cousin hates me so damn much.”William could feel her emotions and helplessness, so he pulled her in his lap, straddling him.He only said, “I have all the time in
Finding my way to you Chapter 81 - Cherish little pleasures in life
Rosaline took a deep breath as she needed the courage to relive the experience.“Anyway, I woke up to a slap in my face. My parents were under the impression that I had slept with Jack.”William felt her tremble as she paused and took deep breaths before she continued.“My cousin had helpfully shown them the pictures, and with a timestamp to boot, of me dragging Jack upstairs, me leaning towards him, and Jack leaving my room with a satisfied look on his face after about half an hour.”“While the first two pictures could have been a coincidence, the third had deliberately excluded Leena, who was with Jack. Not to mention, I was at the party, and being the birthday girl was in the limelight the entire time.”“She had done similar things before as well.”“My parents did not so much as listen to my explanations, much less believe me. They have been ready to believe every bad, every promiscuous thing about me at the drop of a hat since then.”Rosaline sighed at that. Before he could say an
Finding my way to you Chapter 82 - Compensation
William’s face had brightened up.He could barely suppress his glee as he whispered, “Phones.”Rosaline quickly pulled her phone out, but Tessa called her before she could put it on silent mode.She hurriedly answered it before it could ring.“Tess?” Rosaline replied indifferently.William switched his phone to silent and tossed it back into the pocket.He decided to tease Rosaline as she was on the phone.He sat on her bed, holding her on his lap, as he kissed her neck and earlobe while kneading her ass.Rosaline had to cover her mouth to keep herself from making awkward noises.Tessa was surprised that Rosaline picked up before it could even ring. “How did you pick up so quickly? It usually takes you forever to pick up the phone.” She rambled.“I was on the phone.” Rosaline tried her best to sound calm.“Oh! Why were you playing on the phone and not making out or something?” Tessa teased.Rosaline was embarrassed because William heard it and grinned like an idiot.She pinched him o
Finding my way to you Chapter 83 - Consent
Rosaline widened her eyes at William’s explanation.They had practically spent the entire day making out. She was on his lap, straddling him, and he was kneading her ass while leaving hickeys all over her neck.And he asked for permission.“Are you seriously asking me that?”“Of course. Consent is most important.” William replied in all seriousness. “I did not see you asking for consent when we dragged me to the staircase, or when you pulled me into your lap in your house, or when you started kneading my ass.” She huffed. “I could not help it. And you seemed to be enjoying that too.”He said matter-of-factly, which only annoyed her.“And how would you know that?”“Don’t ask questions like that when you get embarrassed easily.”He was having fun seeing the jumble of emotions on her face.“I don’t get embarrassed easily. What’s there to be embarrassed about?”She was not the one to back out either.“In that case, Miss Lexi, let me answer your question. You got mad when I pulled back f
Finding my way to you Chapter 84 - Stolen her life
Daynes and Browns met in a restaurant when Rosaline and William were fooling around.They were discussing the engagement between Liam and Lina. When Tina returned to Daynes, she got wind of it right away.Tina had known about Liam and Lina’s engagement since the very beginning. Tina had met Liam a few times, but they were just passing acquaintances. She had never cared about him since she did not get along with Ria or even her brother, Maddox.But hearing Tom gush about what an incredible person Lina was and made a perfect match for Liam, a fit of unnamed jealousy and hatred surged inside her.Tina was Maddox’s real sister, yet he had a better relationship with Lina. He merely participated in her life events, but he was actively planning and celebrating everything that had to do with Lina.Tina had grown up bearing this injustice. To add insult to injury, his fiance was just as close with Lina, while she was just polite and friendly with her.And when it came to making a match for
Finding my way to you Chapter 85 - It must be photoshopped
Tom and Rita, who understood the temperaments of all present, did not know how to react.They knew their sister-in-law, Anabella, liked to be flattered and was vain, but Lina was not fake. On the other hand, Tina was pretentious, hiding her scheming self under her kind and gentle facade.They also knew Tina had suddenly become very attentive to Anabella in the past few months, but they could never figure out why. But now they had an idea.Moreover, Ria had told them in the morning that both Lina and Liam were seeing other people outside, so they had called everyone here today to dissolve the engagement.Tina’s appearance had diverted the topic elsewhere before they could even start.George was stunned for a while before replying with a chuckle, “Of course not! How could that be? Lina and Tina both grew up as siblings. It’s just Lina had been staying away in a hostel and then went away for college, so they both now have a lot of uncommon friends.”Anabella thought George’s words made
Finding my way to you Chapter 86 - Face-value
Elisa could only close her eyes in disappointment.On the one hand, Lina always created trouble for her. On the other hand, Tina was better than her daughter in everything but got implicated all the time.Despite Lina framing Tina on multiple occasions, Tina still stayed loyal to her and covered up for her.She had had enough.Lina needed to be taught a lesson and shouldn’t get shielded like that.Elisa roared at that.“You don’t have to cover for her. It’s my fault I could not educate my daughter. I’m sorry to have embarrassed everyone here. I guess we better call off the engagement.”Rita could not believe Elisa would accept Tina's accusations against her daughter without saying anything.Even they knew Lina had already rejected the engagement and was seeing someone.Since she was dating, it was only typical that she was with someone else.The picture clearly showed they were in a secluded place, and some took it stealthily. Yet, Daynes did not even defend her.Unable to take it, sh

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

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
