ROSY I batted my lashes repeatedly as I stared at him. What is he trying to do? Threaten me? I scoffed at the thoughts wondering why I should be scared of his foolish words. Caleb chuckled and moved away from me, returning to the wheelchair. I let out a breath I never realized I was holding when he was a few inches away from me. “You understand what I mean, Miss Rosy?” He grinned. I narrowed my eyes, sending a glare across to him. “Are you playing games with me?” I scoffed. He crooned his neck, twitching his lips. I clenched my stomach as it fluttered when he did that innocent act. “Is that what you want to call it?” his eyes twinkled happily. “You have no repentance, Caleb,” I snapped and he giggled. “You seem to be a bit dumb, dear ex-wife.” His brusque statement made me flare up in anger. Is he calling me dumb? That stupid bastard. “Can’t you see that you’re my partner in this game, you’re not an opponent but a partner.” “I am tryin
ROSYI felt like my heart was about to burst out of my chest as I stared at my living room which was turned upside down.Incomprehensible words were written all over the wall, the pillows were torn and broken vases were scattered around the living room. My plush cushions weren’t excluded from this destruction.“Who could have done this?” I heard Veronica gasp.Who was able to get into my house without my permission or a key?There are only three keys to this place.I have the first one, Veronica has the second one. The third one?Who has the third one?“Who else has a key to this place?” I asked, refraining myself from blowing up into flames.“Evan?” Veronica rasped out.“Evan returned it the day he left,” I snapped angrily.“Then who has it?” Veronica muttered.“You didn’t come here last night, did you?” I asked and she shook her head.I ascended the stairs and sprinted into my room.I threw my drawers open without taking a glance at my room. The two keys lay in there
ROSY He twisted his head in my direction and that disgusting smirk pulled out on his face. “Come in,” he said, nodding me towards a chair. I scoffed and slammed the door shut before flouncing towards the chair. He rolled the wheelchair close to it and grinned when he saw the irritated look on my face. “What?” “Stop the pretense and get out of that wheelchair!” I snapped angrily. Why should he continue to be in a wheelchair when his legs are perfectly fine? The thought made me roll my eyes at him and scoff loudly. He tilted his neck, eyeing the flask dangling in my hand. Not so fast, hungry bear, you won’t be having this food until I get some information and assurance from you. I can’t believe I’m making a deal with the devil. Someone I should kill. Well… it’s only for the meantime, I will kill him after using him to find my daughter’s murderer. Besides, we’re in the same boat in this. “Is my face so cute that you can’t look away?” he teased and I narrowed my e
ROSY Katherine stared down at me, her intimidating eyes piercing accusingly at me. “What are you doing here?” She sneered, twitching up her lips in disgust “Your fiancé should be in the best position to answer that question,” I muttered a reply. “I asked you, not my fiancé,” she snapped sassily. I sighed; I was not ready to get into a headless argument with a crazy woman like her. I made to leave the room but she blocked my path and slammed the door shut. “I always let you go because I didn’t want people to know how you’ve been sniffing your way around my fiancé, but I won’t keep quiet anymore,” she blabbered out words that I couldn’t understand. I glanced over at Caleb, hoping he’d get this lady out of my sight, but he did nothing of such. Instead, he reached for the flask and pulled the lid open. I watched in guilt as he struggled to get the spoon to his mouth. “Honey!” Katherine winced annoyingly and shoved me aside as she dashed towards Caleb. “What are you eating? Who
ROSYVeronica released a smirk and handed the phone back to me. I sighed, staring at the blank screen.I couldn’t tell what I should do with the video; I felt like I was doing the right thing at the wrong time and the wrong thing at the right time.“What should I do, Veronica?” I asked and she shrugged.“Don’t do it,” she muttered and I looked up at her.“What?” “Don’t do it yet, let it be for now.”I scoffed, shaking my head.“After betraying me, he ruined the happiness I created for myself. I’m going to ruin him too.” Veronica nodded and clasped her hands in mine.“I know. You will just wait for the right time.”Does that mean that I’m about to do the right thing at the wrong time?“Caleb is cunning, he will try to trap you with it,” Veronica muttered and continued with her drawing.I drew closer to her and stared at the art. “Hmmm… that design is beautiful,” I muttered, admiring the designs she was unfolding on the drawing board.Veronica dropped her brush and pe
ROSY Daisy skidded into my room, flouncing the blue ball gown she was wearing with a large grin on her beautiful face. “Is it beautiful, mommy?” She chipped, squirming as she chortled from one end of my room to another end. I chuckled as I remained quiet so as not to ruin the effort of the make-up artist beside me. The discovery I made four days ago about Madam Helen was still fresh in my mind. Every time I remember it I can’t help but burst into laughter. Madam Helen is in love? How is that possible? I’m sure that she will make that person a special guest at the party. I can’t wait to meet that man at the party. My lips stretched into a smile as the blush kept appearing and reappearing before my eyes. “Are you okay, ma’am?” The make-up artist asked when my face broke into smiles. “Yes, I love the make-up; you’re doing an amazing job,” I lied, and she smiled in pride. A few minutes passed and my make-up was completely done. I stood up and the lady gasped. “My, my,
ROSY “Caleb Thompson?” Veronica gasped out and slapped her hand against her mouth as she stared at me with horror bulging out in her eyes. I was dumbfounded beyond words as I watched him saunter into the hall with pride and confidence, his aura dominating the entire angle of the hall. The usual mischievous smirk was laced across his face as he walked in my direction. The boyfriend I have long awaited to meet is none other person but this crazy jerk? How can this be true? What did he do to Madam Helen to make her like him so much to the extent of making him her special guest of honor? I don’t believe this! I don’t want to believe this! I would have concluded that I was hallucinating if I was the only one seeing him. Everyone is seeing him, everyone is staring at him in shock. Caleb paused in front of me and smiled in mischief while I glared contemptuously at him. He brushed past me, nudging Robert out of his way as he walked towards the stage Madam Helen was standing
ROSY Celeb held unto me, swaying around with confidence. Karen, who never gives up, kept on trying to make me succumb to her ‘let's talk’ tricks. I got tired of having her follow us around so I paused and forcefully pushed Caleb away, snapping a glare at him. “Your life span won’t reduce if you say thank you,” he muttered, smiling as always. “Well, I won’t say thank you!” I snapped at him, getting irritated with that constant false smile he always used to deceive people. I spun around and walked off, fully aware that Karen would follow me. I was once afraid when she touched me, but the feeling wore off and my true self came back again. “What do you want to talk about?” I muttered when I felt her presence hovering behind me. “You seem to be having fun with your ex-husband.” I knew it; she didn’t want to talk, she wanted to want to make fun of me as usual. Does she think I’m still the timid and dumb girl who can’t defend herself against evil vultures like her? You’r
