ROSYMy eyes widened, my heart sank and my body froze when those words echoed in my ear.He was the one responsible! He was the monster in my life.I clenched my fist in anger as tears stung my eyes.“What? Aren’t you going to kill me?” He muttered, letting out a mocking sinister laugh.I sprang up from the chair and slapped him hard across his face.He staggered back and chuckled, wiping off the blood smeared at the corner of his lips.He is joking, isn’t he? He is just playing with my feelings, right?Tears stung my eyes as I stared at him in disbelief.“Where is Daisy?” I asked instead of inquiring about his actions.“Don’t worry, she’s safe.”His reply crushed me into pieces. My lips parted and slammed shut and my throat clenched as I struggled to breathe.“You… you… devil!” I spat, staggering back. My head spun and my eyes rolled up. I held the table for support and gasped out loudly for breath.“I'm only trying to keep her safe, you don’t worry. She’ll be fine if you
CALEBI stepped out of the restaurant and glanced back at the doors, clenching my fist in fury.A part of me pushed me to get back into that restaurant and drag Rosy away with me while the other part urged me to go like she wanted.It could probably be for the best.“How did it go?” Mario asked behind me.I sighed and drew my eyes away from the doors.“Let’s go,” I muttered, caressing the spot Rosy hit me.Mario creased his brows at me before driving out of the environment.Everything kept replaying one after the other, strongly leaving a trail of mockery behind. Her words left a hole in my heart every time they echoed in my mind.Did she mean those words? Does she truly love him?She said she loved him, but her eyes said the opposite. It felt like she was begging me to stay, to take her away.Rosy was good at pretending, but I’m the only one who understands her pretentious behavior. She has been with me to the point that I know when she’s lying and when she’s being truthful
ROSYMy body stiffened when he wrapped his hands around me. My lashes batted and my heartbeat increased as his cold body shielded mine.I wanted to stay in his arms for as long as the pain would last, but I couldn’t. I slowly pulled away from him, avoiding his prying eyes.We stood in the room with the thick air floating around us, making the atmosphere uncomfortable.“Tell me what’s going on, Rosy?” He muttered after a long stretch of silence, searching for answers on my face.“Nothing is going on with me. You should leave,” I muttered as coldly as I could.His brows furrowed together as he stared at me, thinning his lips in suspicion.“Did that jerk hit you again? Tell me the truth, I will kill him myself.”I flared up and glared into his eyes.“Get out!” He was taken aback by my sharp reaction, but he nodded his head slowly and stepped back but didn’t leave.“Don’t hate me, Rosy, please don’t,” he muttered, his eyes still fixed on me.My heart sank at his words as I fum
CALEBI threw a glass on the wall, ruffling my hair in indignation as the piercing sound of the shattering glasses echoed in the office.“How the hell did this happen?” I raved.Mario dumped the broken glasses into the trashcan before spinning around to face me.“I can’t tell, perhaps—”“Perhaps? You said that he had no funds, you assured me!” I snapped.“What if he got the funds from Rosy?” Mario muttered and I glanced at him.“Why in the world will he get that amount of money from her? Rosy just took up her position as the chairperson of Connor Group a few days ago, and they’re not even in a relationship,” I snapped, and he raised his brows.“There is something you’re not aware of yet,” Mario muttered and I looked at him.“What?”Mario took a deep breath and leaned closer.“Rosy just announced her engagement with Evan.”My throat knotted and my skin paled as dismay shrank my heart.I chuckled, rolling my tongue around my clenched teeth.“Is she?” I muttered, my eyes fix
ROSYCaleb's hand slipped around my waist as he pulled me closer, deepening the kiss.My pulse raced and my body burned from the ferocious kiss. I moaned out softly and wrapped my hands around his neck, sitting on his lap.He held my waist so tight that he was afraid I would slip into thin air if he ever let go. I straddled his lap, gasping out in pleasure as a pool formed in between my thighs.We finally broke the kiss and panted heavily for breath."I have a plan," he muttered, staring into my eyes.A smile of relief spread across my face and I nodded.I got up from his lap and slumped down into the sand, sighing loudly.We talked for a while about the steps and after that, I was off to my house.I muttered a short prayer, hoping that everything we'd discussed would go as planned.I creaked the door open and stepped into the dark room. My pulse raced as the lights flickered on, revealing Evan’s face.I swallowed hard and stared at his scowling face, filled with fear.“Where did yo
CALEB I hummed softly as the ticking sound of the clock filled the room. The chair I was sitting on rocked back and forth, giving off a peaceful sensation. The short yet worthwhile moment that I spent with Rosy lingered in my mind, causing a smile to form on my face. I wondered what Evan could be doing to her at the moment. I couldn’t wait for everything to end so that I could get my Rosy back to me. I will do everything to get her back, everything. I nodded my head at the thought, swearing to do just as I had thought. The cause of Madam Helen’s death sneaked into my head and I began to wonder if Evan had a hand in it. If Evan has a hand in it then it will certainly lead me to my greatest fear. I hope I am not right and I also hope that I am. If my suspicions turn out to be true, then I will have another enemy to contend with. The door creaked open and Mario trudged in, staring down at the phone in his hand. “Evan isn’t home yet, thankfully,” Mario muttered and slum
ROSYI played the video over and over again, releasing a chuckle at the end of it.I was shocked when I watched it at first but after watching it countlessly, the pain I felt migrated to anger.To think that Veronica, of all people, would betray me too, the thought of it was astonishing.The more I thought about it, the angrier I got.I realized that the person who leaked that video that I filmed was Veronica. Caleb was right all along.Even the designs on that board and card all belonged to Veronica.She has been working with Evan, stabbing me cruelly behind my back, she has been one of the eyes watching me.She has been nothing but a traitor, a betrayer.I heard the front door open and slammed shut, and soon, the sound of Veronica’s irritating footsteps filled the room.I paused the video and shifted my phone away before pouring out the red fruity wine into the two glasses on the table.Veronica walked into the living room, wearing a wide smile on her face.I stared at he
ROSY I swiftly spun around and sighed in relief when Caleb sneaked in. He looked around before walking up to me. “The maids?” He asked. “I sent them out for a break; they won’t be back until tomorrow,” I responded. His brows raised as he stared at Veronica’s cold body. “Is she still alive?” He asked and I shrugged my shoulders. “I don’t know.” He plodded towards her and knelt beside her as he searched for a pulse. He breathed out after a while and looked at me “She is still breathing,” he muttered and my stomach churned. I wished that she had died. I didn’t want her alive, I wanted her dead. Everything that she said to me and all the secrets that I have shared confidently with her came bouncing into my eyes, making me break down into tears. I felt Caleb’s large hands wrap around me from behind. “It is okay, it’s just a matter of time,” he graced my neck with his hot breath. How can it be okay when the people you trusted the most turn around and hurt you ev
