ROSY

She backed away, her eyes wide as saucers. Her body was as cold as ice when I touched it.

“You…you dug into my private life?” She stuttered, trying so hard to retain her breath.

I chortled and slumped back into the couch then picked up the teacup. I spilled the cold espresso, wrinkling my face in disgust.

“Darn it, the espresso your staff served is already cold. Tell her to make another one,” I ordered, smirking evilly.

She stared at me in disbelief as her lips shook in anger and fear.

“Get out,” she breathed out.

I raised my brows in surprise.

“Get out?” I chuckled, “Fine, I will just have to upload these pictures onto the internet. It will be tagged ‘CEO of one of the famous apparel companies in Sicily caught cheating on her husband.’ No, no, I think I’ll pick another headline, ‘Mother of two and wife of a renowned artist, Melinda Alejandro was caught cheating with a minister.’ No, let’s make it more captivating…”

“Shut up!” Melinda screamed and tore the pictur

    A long stretch of silence followed my request. “You still owe me for saving your life the other day,” he quipped making me crinkle my nose in annoyance. “Are you helping me or not?” I snapped. I wonder what I’m doing with him again. Shouldn’t I be avoiding him? But instead of pushing him away, I’m giving him a reason to pull closer to me. It is not my fault; I blame scumbags like Melinda, who keeps getting into my path. “Let’s meet at the midnight Café,” he replied and I scoffed. “Is this some date or something?” I spat venomously. “You said you need my help right? I’m trying to offer that,” he replied. “Can we meet before 9 pm?” I asked. I heard a humming sound before his response broke out. “Yes, seven will be convenient for the both of us, right?” “Yes,” I replied bluntly and ended the call. I tapped my message box and scrolled through it for a random pop-up message but found none. “Why hasn’t he sent the address yet?” I muttered as I walked into the car.

    ROSY“What’s with all these decorations?” I asked as I approached him.He stopped twirling the glass and looked in my direction.“You’re late,” he teased, smiling sweetly.I glanced around the place and noticed that it was silent as a graveyard. There was no one there aside from the both of us.“Why’s everywhere so silent?” I muttered, my eyes roaming around the place.“I rented the whole place, I wanted us to have as much privacy as possible. Something tells me that whatever you want to say must be a piece of confidential information,” the smile never left his face as he chattered.I rolled my eyes and sat down.Caleb chuckled and took a seat, his brows curved up as he ran his eyes over my body.“Hmmm…you look beautiful in that dress,” he muttered and leaned closer, “Did you dress up like this just for a casual meeting, or do you have something else in mind?” his breath fanned my face as he whispered.“Stop the flirting, you know how much it disgusts me,” I sneered with d

    CALEB Rosy was visibly shaken by the news. She gasped loudly and clenched her dress as her hands slipped away from the edge of the table she held for support. She kept gasping for breath as she slipped to the floor. I was in a state of shock, too; my entire body was numb and stiff. I couldn’t move from where I sat, all I could do was helplessly watch Rosy suffer and let the words of the reporter drift into my ear. “Mr. Martino Silas was murdered in the early hours of the day in a public restroom…” “Darn it!” I screamed out and jerked up from the seat that I was confined to by shock. My hand gripped the bottle of wine and sent it flying to the television. It crashed into it, and the screen shattered, causing the irritating words of the reporter to stop flowing. Rosy calmed down after that and bit her lips to stop more tears from spewing out. It seemed the continuous flow of those words affected her too. Rosy chuckled and lifted her teary face. “Who could be doing t

    ROSYI held my phone against my chest as I paced around the room, anticipating Caleb’s call. The call finally came through and I sighed in relief before accepting it.“You need to prepare your answers because you might be summoned to the station for questioning,” his voice quavered as he spoke.“Shit! What has his death got to do with me?” I cursed.“You were the last person Martino Silas called, you’ll possibly be tagged a suspect .”I ruffled my hair and leaned on the crème wall.“What do I do? What do want me to say? I can’t tell them why Martino called,” I groaned loudly.“Brace yourself, just search for any reasonable answer you can give. Don’t fidget or act suspiciously or else your name will remain on the list for suspects for a long time.”Caleb’s voice sounded hoarse and throaty, did he get a sore throat?“Do you have a sore throat?” I blurted out before I knew it.There was a long pause from him before a chuckle was heard.“Are you suddenly caring about my healt

    ROSY I ran madly into the building, it took a lot of effort to stop myself from fidgeting like a chicken. The staff around turned and stared at me like I had gone crazy Melinda was about to walk out of the apparel store when I stepped in. Her eyes widened and she staggered back in fear when I stood in her path. I took a step forward, and she took a step backward, her eyes bulging out in horror. I could tell that her heart was shrinking away after a second. “What do you want?” She asked in a throaty voice. “Don’t you think we should talk in your office instead?” I muttered and she huffed “If you’re here to demand that I…” “I came for something different,” I cut her off and she narrowed her eyes before spinning around and leading the way to the office. She couldn’t even wait for me to settle down before she began to throw questions at me. “It seems he left you to carry the burden alone,” I muttered amidst her chattering. She went mute and pursed her lips. After s

    CALEB I sighed when I didn’t get any positive response from the police officer before me. “There are security cameras in the corridor, I’m sure of it,” I repeated. The officer nodded, staring down at a file on the piled-up desk. “The cameras were broken down that night, and when we repaired it today, we discovered that the CCTV footage of last night had been deleted,” he finally answered my question and looked at me. “Why are you so interested in this case, Caleb?” He asked. “I am a friend of the man, and that man had vital information to pass to me, but he was murdered a few hours before our meeting,” I said, telling a half-assed lie. He raised his brows in surprise. “But what business do you have with the financial secretary of Connor Group?” I sighed and leaned closer. “You won’t tell anyone will you?” I asked. He cranked his head in a thinking posture. “No, I won’t.” I glanced around surreptitiously before talking. “He wanted to tell me how to make Rosy

    ROSY I knew Evan was suffering silently with my head on his shoulder yet he didn’t utter a word of complain. They wanted me dead too? They wanted to kill me after shooting Melinda. who could be behind all this drama displayed right now? I hope Malinda gets out of this soon, I hope she wins against death. If anything happens to her then I will forever remain guilty. I can’t believe that people around me are getting hurt one after the other. First was Sherry, then my driver, Martino, and now Melinda. “I want you to search every nook and cranny of this city, I want that scumbag found!” Madam Helen growled over the phone and huffed loudly, clutching her chest. “Grandma, you need to calm down, your health is important,” Melanie muttered and led Madam Helen to a chair. “How did you know where I was?” I asked Evan. “I followed you; I knew something was wrong with the way you reacted, so I decided to follow you,” he explained, and I hummed. “Thank you,” I whispe

    ROSY My belly fluttered when he pressed his lips against mine. I felt shivers run down my spine as he fought his tongue into my mouth. His hands snaked around my waist, and he pulled closer to me, pressing his body against mine. Shouldn’t I be pushing him away? Why the hell am I letting him do this? It felt like my senses returned to me as I ended the semi-intense kiss and pushed him away from me, panting heavily for breath. He smiled mischievously as he locked my eyes with his. “Did you enjoy it?” He muttered and a deep frown creased my face. I lurched forward and slammed my fist into his chest then pushed him roughly. He staggered back but didn’t fall to the ground. “You rascal!” I spat, glaring venomously at him. “My mom kidnapped me when I was coming to you,” he sighed and I blinked, repeating the words he said so that it sinks into my head. “Your mom did what?” I asked. He stopped staring at his hand and looked at me. “My mom kidnapped me to stop me from gett

    With a smile on my radiant face, I watched the kids run around the field aimlessly. I shuddered slightly when I felt wet lips touch my bare neck. I didn't need to turn around to find out who the person was, the scent of his cologne gave him away. “You came here to clear your mind during the holiday, not babysit seven-year-old kids.” He muttered and I chuckled lightly. “I just need to make sure that they're okay,” I replied and he scoffed, wrapping his hands around my shoulders. “Come on, nothing bad is going to happen to them, let's go in,” he nudged. I glanced at our three kids and then back at Caleb's face. “Are you sure?” I muttered and he threw his head back, groaning loudly. “I will be blamed if anything happens,” he said confidently. I turned up my lips and finally relented. Caleb smiled and took my hand, pulling my body against his as he brushed his lips against mine. “Don't try to act weak; what you did years ago still amazes me,” he muttered, and I giggled.

    ROSY I took the elevator back to the penthouse, my heartbeat increasing with each step I took from the elevator to the door. I pushed the door open and stepped into the living room. The smell of liquor hit my nose immediately when I stepped in. I turned up my lips in disgust and glanced around the room for him. “Evan?” I called out. My stomach churned when I saw him spin a swivel chair around, his hand holding onto a bottle of liquor. “There you are! I thought you wouldn't show up,” he laughed and got up from the chair. “What do you want?” I snapped, sending a murderous glare at him. He raised his brows in surprise and laughed like a lunatic, waving the bottle of liquor at me. He became quiet and tilted his head in my direction. “All my life, there's only one thing that I have ever wanted.” He gulped a reasonable amount of liquor then shook his finger at me. “You.” My heart shrank and my blood boiled. “Sorry to disappoint you,” I muttered and raised my hand

    ROSY "Hello, little red rose, miss me?" The phone dropped from my hand and my heart constricted as I staggered back and panted for air. The excitement in the hall vanished and everyone stared at me in shock. Caleb flinched back at my behavior and stared questioningly at me, but when he realized that I wouldn't give him an answer, he bent down and picked up the phone. It isn't true, is it? That isn't who I thought it was, right? Could it be that Katherine was right? No, no, it can't be. My belly knotted when I saw Caleb's face turn grave. His lips trembled as he forced a name out of his mouth. “Evan?” I felt my heart stop beating and my eyes rolled up. Caleb looked at me, his hand tightening around the phone. He's back! He fucking came back! “Evan?” Mom gasped and murmurs filled the hall. Everyone who knew Evan had a grave look of dismay on their faces. The once joyful atmosphere turned sober and tense at the mention of that terrible and monstrous name. My b

    CALEB The large doors pulled open and the sharp rays of sunlight pierced into my eyes. I squinted my eyes, adjusted to the stream of light oozing into the filled-up church, and then looked at the glorious sight some distance before me. She looked angelic; she looked perfect, like a heavenly being. The spotless white dress she wore flowed lazily on the white marble floor as she walked slowly toward me. Her veiled face looked ahead, causing a turbulent feeling in the pit of my belly. The flower she held was Sherry's favorite flower, the blue flower. "Miracle", like Sherry always called it. The rays from the sun surrounded her, making her look like an angel gloriously descending to the earth. Each she took towards me made my heart leap. It felt like I would have a heart attack before she got to me. Everyone's head was turned as hundreds of eyes trailed after her to the altar. I batted my lashes in disbelief when I saw her standing before me, a heart-warming smile on her

    CALEB I ran my hands through my disheveled hair as I paced around the waiting room, filled with anxiety. “Calm down, Caleb, calm down,” mom complained, sighing loudly. The door burst open and I spun around, glaring at Mario's pale face. “She has been arrested," Mario said and I grunted in dissatisfaction. “I will sneak into that prison and kill her myself if anything happens to Rosy.” My mom jerked her head in my direction, glaring at me. “You won't do anything like that! And nothing is going to happen to Rosy!” She snapped and I narrowed my eyes, slumping dejectedly into the chair beside me. It was all my fault. If I had gotten there a bit earlier, if I had run up to the balcony instead, she wouldn't have fallen off. She wouldn't be in this critical condition. I'm so sorry that I couldn't save you, I'm such a disappointment,” I muttered, sighing in regret. Perhaps, if I had handled Katherine properly, she wouldn't have shown her face here again. My heart skipped

    ROSYThe revolver being pointed at me didn't faze me, the face of the woman standing before me was what kept me stunned. “You seem shocked,” she chuckled and advanced towards me. I gasped out and staggered back, holding onto the railings behind me. “Katherine? What the hell are you doing here?” I snapped, glaring confusedly at her. My eyes darted down to her flat belly and my eyes dimmed. Isn't she supposed to be supposed to be pregnant? “What happened to your baby?” She scoffed at my question in disbelief, narrowing her blazing eyes at me. “Well… I killed it,” she muttered and my eyes widened in dismay. “You did what?” I snapped, pursing my lips in anger. She smirked and lowered the gun then tilted her head to the side. “Why? Is it because you're unable to get pregnant again?” Her snide words pricked my heart, making my blood boil. “Does it hurt to watch a child that should have been yours die? Hmmm… I can tell how you feel at the moment. If only God had given me the

    ROSY It's been three months since Evan’s escape from prison, three months of peace and curiosity. My curiosity was only satisfied when his body was found floating on water a week ago. Though his face was badly injured and unrecognizable, his body and the mark proved that it was him. Now, I'm full of peace and happiness, not only concerning Evan's death but also my upcoming wedding day. “There you are!” Juliet shrieked as she barged into my office, pulling me out of my reverie. I stretched my lips into a smile and blinked tiredly. “Don't tell me you're already tired from the shopping; the wedding is in a few days, so you better be ready,” she snapped, and I nodded my head. “Yes, ma'am.” She chuckled and dropped a large bag on my desk. “I'm sorry that I couldn't make it to the pre-wedding party, my schedule is so tight that I can hardly eat,” she muttered, breathing out loudly. “Well… that's the price you have to pay for being one of the most famous models in the country,” I

    MARIO "Welcome sir!" the pygmy secretary grinned widely as she led me to my father's office. "Mr Morris has been waiting for you," she muttered, cunningly trying to start up a conversation. "The party lasted longer than I expected," I threw a flat reply. But the girl refused to give up, she tugged on my arm and forced me to look down at her. "Is it true that Miss Rosy and Caleb Thompson are engaged? I saw it on a social page." "Hmmm, it's true," I responded and quickened my pace. I got to the closed door, sucked in a deep breath before pushing it open. My dad raised his head and forced a smile into his face when he saw me enter the room. "I am sorry that I kept you waiting," I muttered and walked to the couch then slumped into it, waiting for him to tell me the reason for his sudden invitation. "I heard that they are engaged," he muttered, and I nodded, narrowing my eyes in suspicion. Does whatever he has to say have anything to do with Caleb and Rosy? "I just couldn't hol

    CALEB When I saw her face, I couldn’t help but admire what a beauty she was. Her blue velvet gown flowed behind her as she stepped down from the spiral staircase accompanied by Juliet.From her lustrous curly hair cascading to her spotless shoulders to her angelic face, down to her flawless thigh which the split on the gown revealed. The dress she wore hugged closely to her body, proudly showing off her curves. I chuckled lightly and smiled at her which she returned immediately. I couldn’t wait to hold her in his arms once more, and this time, I had planned never to let her slip out my fingers again. “Happy birthday!!” We all cheered, raising our glasses in the air. She laughed and raised her glass too, her eyes pinned on me and mine on her.It was like we were sending a silent message across to each other. Everyone was present, including her rebellious family members. I was surprised that they didn’t try to kick her out when they found out about the stolen funds. That was a pe
