CALEB I glanced at the door that led to the restroom and then at the wristwatch wrapped around my wrist. When I saw that crazy lady go through the door some minutes ago, I couldn’t help but grow restless. Why do I feel like everything is not alright in there? Why do I feel like Rosy is in trouble again? I sighed and faced Carolina, who had been chattering nonstop beside me. A lot of the members of the Connor family must be wondering how I was able to do what none of them can ever attempt to do. Persuading Madam Helen to take an action she detests is like wasting away time. Rosy must be dumbfounded to discover that I have power over her almighty grandmother. She won’t understand how much more I can control with a snap of my finger. This was what Sherry’s death made me do. A smile arched on my face as I stared at Madam Helen’s smiling face. When was the last time the old lady was so happy? Just like Rosy, no one in her family wanted her existence. Everyone threw her aroun
CALEBA gasp escaped her lips as she stared confusedly at me.“What?” She rasped out.I wrapped my fingers around her chin, leaning closer to her.“No one touches my possession and goes Scott-free,” I muttered, and her eyes widened.“Are you… are you going to kill me?” She whispered, her voice was full of fear as she spoke.“Do you think I will let you live after threatening my woman and making her cry? Anyone who hurts Rosy will lose their lives,” I said and she gasped in disbelief.The door opened and Mario snuck into the restroom. He pulled off the hat he was wearing and stared intimidatingly at Jennifer.“Is she the fox that tried to harm Miss Trouble?” he rasped out, and I swerved my head in his direction, glaring daggers at him.He gave me a one-sided shoulder shrug and raised his hands in defense.“This man…” I waved at Mario as I stared excitedly at the shivering body of Jennifer.“He will take care of your dead body in such a way that no one will ever find any clue
ROSYI jerked up and stared around the room, when I recognized it as mine, I sighed in relief and fell back into the bed.I tried to doze off again, but the warning bell that rang in my head made me snap my eyes open, fully awake.There was only one word that rang in my head. Caleb!!I gasped and touched my lips as all the memories of yesterday came rushing into my head.“What the hell have I done?” I muttered, filled with regret.The door burst open and Caleb trudged leisurely into the bedroom with a tray in his hand.He paused when he saw me sitting up on the bed. A smirk sneaked into his face as he proceeded to approach me.“Good morning, little red rose,” he sang and my belly churned.What right does he think he has to keep on calling me that?“You took advantage of my weakness last night!” I burst out.His brows snapped up as he placed the tray down and sank into the bed.“Did you have a good sleep?” he muttered, avoiding the topic that I raised.“You scumbag! You sle
CALEBRosy gasped and pulled back to her seat, breathing heavily. The fresh streaks of tears were still on her face. “Are you okay?” I asked and reached out my hand to touch her face but she slapped my hands away and wiped her face with the back of her palm.Daisy’s eyes were fixed on us as she glanced from Rosy to me.“Are you two okay?” She chipped and Rosy nodded.“Yes, we are,” Rosy said and looked out of the window.I cursed the car under my breath, gripping the steering wheels in anger. If it hadn’t been the stupid lurch, I would have maintained that nice relationship with Rosy.I glanced at her again, shaking my head at her behaviorOne minute, she’s happy, and the other minute, she’s upset.Her mood swings drive me crazy.I pulled into Madam Helen’s garage, and we got out of the car.Rosy took Daisy’s hand and began to lead her into the mansion.I trailed after them, sighing repeatedly at her cold behavior.“Hey, Rosy, slow down,” I called out. She snapped her hea
CALEBI batted my lashes, glaring at Kim who in turn smirked back at me “Who told you that?” I snapped and he chuckled.“I saw her in the clubhouse that night. Rosy is quite a good dancer,” he rambled and I clenched my fist.“Watch your mouth, Kim, stop talking nonsense!” I snapped angrily and made to get into the car but Kim held me back.“Don’t you think I’ll get a good reward if I tell Madam Helen about her granddaughter’s lies and the fake kidnap? She’ll be disappointed, won’t she?” He chuckled and I spun around, slamming my fist into his jaw.He dropped to the ground, groaning and holding his cracked jaw.“You little bastard!” I sneered at him, grabbing him by the collar.He groaned and spit out blood, slapping my hand.“If you say a word about Rosy to anyone, I will have to tell everyone about your health condition,” I whispered and Kim froze, his eyes bulging out in shock.“Say a word, and your reputation will crumble, too. I and Rosy can’t go down alone without havin
ROSY “Have you seen the news, Rosy?” Melanie gasped, staring at her phone. I dropped the fork I was holding and watched as everyone brought out their phones and began to scroll through for the latest news concerning me. Madam Helen was also so curious that she took out her phone and began to look through it. What’s going on? What could be on the news about me now? My heart thumped loudly in my chest as I remembered Jennifer. Could it be she carried out her threats? No, it can’t be! My fears broadened when everyone began to glance intimidatingly at me. “Woah, look who we have here. A fake!” Francis laughed and they began to chuckle and join in his laughter. My hands began to tremble, and I couldn’t even touch or hold anything. My lips shook, till I had to sink my teeth into my lips as I slammed my eyes shut. What am I going to tell Madam Helen? How will I explain to her? “Rosy!” her voice boomed, almost shattering me into pieces. I gasped out loud and slowly open
CALEB I slammed the laptop on the wall and growled loudly before slumping down into a chair. I balled my fist, trying to calm down the anger roaring in me. But how can I calm down after getting betrayed by someone I trusted? My phone kept ringing, and the media agents were hiding around the corners, waiting for me to slip out of the house. Some people were waiting outside the house to shower me with eggs and rain curses on me. I was left deep in thought that I didn’t hear my door open. A cold hand touched my shoulder, and I jumped, crooning my head backward. I sighed and relaxed when I saw Katherine smirking down at me. “I saw the news,” she stated and I narrowed my eyes. Everyone has seen and is beginning to take action against me. “You seem to be in a big mess right now. If I had known that she was making a recording that day at the ward, I would have smashed her phone to pieces. But even if I do that, you won’t be grateful to me; instead, you will back her up and t
ROSY I panicked when Veronica mentioned the press. My heart thumped loudly in my chest as beads of perspiration covered my forehead. My palm grew wet as I wondered what I was supposed to do to get out of here without being caught by the press. “Come with me,” Veronica said and gripped my hand, pulling me towards a door that I had never taken notice of since my stay at Veronica’s place. “There is a backdoor that leads into the woods behind the house. I have a pick-up truck packed there for emergency purposes,” Veronica explained and I nodded without even giving her words a second thought. She opened the door and we stepped into the woods. Veronica seemed to know the woods like the back of her palm. She navigated her way out and led me to an old pick-up truck packed at the end of the woods, just like she explained. The paints were almost washed off, and the license plate was dangling weakly, threatening to fall off at any time. “Why do you carry this kind of thing
