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
ROSYI clenched my fist behind me as I glared contemptuously at him.“You locked Daisy in here, didn’t you?” I rasped, heaving in anger.My blood boiled as a smirk danced at the corner of his lips.“I knew you would try to look for Daisy here, but sorry to disappoint you, your little princess isn’t here anymore,” he grinned, taking a step towards me.“Where is Daisy?” I asked, shifting back.“All I have to say is that she is safe,” he muttered, tilting his head sideways.“How can you be so heartless, how can you lock a little girl in here?” I snapped in a quivering voice.Evan stared around the room like he was there for the first time and chuckled unremorsefully.“She deserved it anyways; what are you going to do about it?” his snickering made me want to smash his head on the wall, but when Caleb’s warning filtered into my ear, I refrained.I have to endure it all if I want to find Daisy alive.I took in a deep breath and stomped out of the room. I walked into my room and s
ROSYI poured coffee into the cup and slowly dropped the mug, watching him from the corner of my eyes.He dialed Veronica’s number for the eighth time since he got to the dining table. The phone rang without an answer at every end, he growled and threw the phone off, smashing it on the wall.“Is that Veronica’s name I see?” I muttered, making sure to avoid his angry eyes.“It’s none of your business!” He snapped before snatching the cup of coffee from the table.“Would you like some sugar?” I muttered, and the cup, which was already halfway to his lips, stopped.“Have I ever had coffee without sugar?” he muttered.“Forgive me but I’m just getting to know this other side of you.” My response made his brows snap in surprise.I scooped some sugar into the coffee and handed the cup over to him.He took it from me, his eyes still fixed on me.“Have you heard from Veronica lately?” he asked and my heart skipped.“No,” I replied, wearing a straight face.To his surprise, I didn’
CALEB Veronica struggled to get the metal cuffs off her wrists and ankles but couldn’t succeed. “Doing that won’t help you; just tell us where he hid Daisy, and I’ll let you go,” Mario muttered, sighing loudly. It's been some days since I captured Veronica but she has refused to spew out Daisy’s whereabouts. I sighed and got up from the chair that I was sitting on then sauntered to the bed Veronica was tied to. “Give it up already. Evan is under lockup for domestic violence, and he won’t be getting out anytime soon,” I muttered, and she stopped struggling, her eyes bulging out in shock. “What?” she gasped out, shaking her head as fear filled her eyes. “It’s so sad that your lover is gone even before you could get your plans done,” I said and Mario chuckled mockingly. “I don’t love him!” she rasped out and my brows furrowed in surprise. “Of course, you don’t,” the door opened, and Rosy walked in, her cold eyes piercing Veronica contemptuously. “He was just a pawn,” s
