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
MARIO “Do you have an appointment with Mr Hansen?” “No,” I responded sharply. She glanced at me in disgust and straightened up. “Sorry, I can’t let you in.” I ran my angry eyes over her lean body, which could easily be broken into two. With a pack of artificial hair on her head, a large smear of purple-colored lipstick, and excessive rogues, which didn’t seem to improve her looks, she looked typically like a doll. A castaway doll. “You have to let me in,” I muttered and she furrowed her brows. “Which of the ‘I can’t let you in’ do you not understand?” she snapped, narrowing her eyes sassily. I leaned forward to her desk, making sure that my abs were on display before her. “All of them,” I replied in a sultry voice that got her batting her lashes. Her face heated up and perspiration formed on her forehead as the tight, skimpy dress she wore made her condition worse. “I… I… I’m sorry… but…” I sighed when I realized that this wouldn’t make the secretary agree to my
EVAN I lit a cigarette in the car and grinned sinisterly as I watched the building fade away. It all started when Rosy turned down my proposal bluntly. I was overwhelmed and furious with her and myself but I had hopes that she would come back to me. But she didn’t. Instead, she got married to that damn playboy who didn’t want her. I had to put an end to it all, I had to put an end to her happiness and get her back. Killing her daughter was never my intention, but I had no other choice and besides the little snitch of a daughter never liked me one bit. I needed to shut her chattering mouth and shatter Rosy completely. It was Caleb’s fault that she left and it was all to my benefit anyway. Now, my secret has been exposed and I’m going down soon. But I won’t go down alone, I’ll bring everyone down with me. Most especially, Rosy. If I can’t have her, then no one will. I threw the remaining cigarettes out of the window and breathed out smoke. “Where is Rosy
