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
CALEBI raced madly to Rosy’s apartment building with my heart in my hand.When I arrived, my heart shrank in dismay at the crowd gathered outside the building. I swallowed hard and made to walk closer, but a strong grip on my wrist stopped me.I spun around and glared at Mario in anger, parting my lips to lash out at him.“Rosy isn’t in there,” he muttered and my brows furrowed as fear gripped my heart.“Where is she?” I demanded, panting heavily.Mario’s face paled and he looked away guiltily, avoiding my wide eyes.“Where is she?” I repeated in a loud voice.“She’s in the morgue.”I batted my lashes, scared of what he had just muttered.Or did I hear wrong?I prayed that it wouldn’t be what I heard as I told him to repeat his answer.He drew back and sighed out loudly, trying to stop the tears that glistened in his eyes.“Rosy Connor is dead!”My feet suddenly felt wobbly, unable to support my body anymore.I staggered back, my hands shook, my lips quivered, and tea
EVAN “Why did you kill her?” The officer asked for the umpteenth time. “Because I couldn’t have her,” I gave him the same reply. “And Veronica? Where did you keep her?” He asked and I batted my lashes. “I don’t know where she is,” I muttered. He frowned and raised his fist to hit me but someone came in, interrupting him. “Ethan Morris is here, sir,” the man behind me muttered and my heart constricted. I knew that he would come. After learning that he was still alive, I knew he would someday regain his memory and kick me out again. But I don’t care anymore, I don’t care what happens to me after this. All I care about is meeting Rosy in the afterlife. “Let him in,” he replied, waving his hand in the air. The door shut and opened then a heavy footstep echoed in the room, approaching me. I narrowed my eyes and a smirk crept into my face when I finally saw him. “Long time, Ethan,” I smiled, expecting a punch from him. But to my surprise, he didn’t hit me like I a
ROSY“You have been found guilty of murder, attempted murder, underage kidnapping, fraud, and assault. You are sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labor!” Silence fell in the courtroom as the judge passed his judgment.Evan’s shoulder slumped down in defeat as they handcuffed him and began to lead him away.He swerved his head in my direction and gave me a long stare as they pushed him off.“It’s finally over,” Caleb muttered behind me and I sighed out in relief.After I ordered Veronica’s release, when we found Daisy, she wore a mask that had my face and headed into my house to destroy the evidence that I had against her. Perhaps, Evan mistook her to be me and stabbed her brutally to death.Caleb is right, it’s finally over. Sherry’s murderer has been found and will be punished according to the law. But why don’t I feel happy about this? Why do I feel like Evan deserves a worse punishment? Caleb’s hold jolted me out of my thoughts and I glanced up at him, smiling wryly.
