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.
Our eyes locked and his brows narrowed in guilt.“What are you doing here?” I snapped as I glared hatefully at him After what he did to Carolina, he dares to show his face again.Carolina looked up and turned up her lips when she saw Harold.“He saved my life,” she replied and sighed, narrowing her eyes.“Huh?” I scoffed in disbelief.Carolina got up and sighed loudly, rubbing Daisy’s arm.“He saved me from Evan’s thugs and brought me back to Sicily,” she explained.I turned up my lips and snickered at Harold, hissing loudly in disdain.“Is that my little princess?” Harold suddenly asked, his eyes glued on Daisy.My throat knotted at Harold’s words and I frowned.Daisy raised her head and waved her little hands at her father.“Hello, mister,” she chipped in her peppy voice.With dismay scribbled on Carolina’s face, she looked at me, her eyes bulging out.“What’s your name, beauty?” Harold asked as he squatted down to her level.I bit my lips and clenched my fist, warni
ROSY Caleb ran his fingers gently along my bare back then gave my hardened nipple a squeeze that sent shivers down my spine. I gasped out and took a deep breath as his hot breath teased my neck. He stepped away from me and began to pull off his clothes, his eyes fixed on me. I covered the distance between us and began to unbutton his shirt. He gripped my waist and slammed his lips on mine, earning a soft moan from me. My eyes went shut and my heart thumped loudly as he deepened the kiss, dipping his hands into my skirt. His hands rubbed my ass, he groaned loudly at the underwear standing as an obstacle to his exploration. The shirt slipped off his body and I proceeded to the buckle of his belt. I shuddered slightly when I felt my skirt fall off to the ground. As I watched his cock dangle freely between his thighs, a pool formed in my underwear, and my throat ran dry as I panted for his rod in me. “Kneel and tease me,” his voice came out husky. I quickly scrambled to my
EVAN Cold water splashed on my face, choking out my breath. I gasped out and forced my eyes open, panting heavily. I tilted my head and found an owlish set of eyes glaring hatefully at me. “Do you think this is your luxurious bedroom, huh? Get your ass up from there!” He snapped and I sighed out before staggering out of the small hard bed I was allocated to. Don, as he was called, wasn’t a police officer; he was a condemned criminal, too. I wondered why everyone in the prison yard respected a criminal more than they respected the police officers. I couldn’t believe that I was also afraid of the criminal bully. Just like me, he was a life prisoner too. No, he’s not like me. I can’t accept this fate, never. I have to find a way out. I creased my brows in anger when I saw a pile of briefs in the bathroom. “You were the last prisoner to get up, so that’s your punishment,” the large man spat, waving his hand at the briefs. I sighed and bent down, then began the
CALEB When I saw her face, I couldn’t help but admire what a beauty she was. Her blue velvet gown flowed behind her as she stepped down from the spiral staircase accompanied by Juliet.From her lustrous curly hair cascading to her spotless shoulders to her angelic face, down to her flawless thigh which the split on the gown revealed. The dress she wore hugged closely to her body, proudly showing off her curves. I chuckled lightly and smiled at her which she returned immediately. I couldn’t wait to hold her in his arms once more, and this time, I had planned never to let her slip out my fingers again. “Happy birthday!!” We all cheered, raising our glasses in the air. She laughed and raised her glass too, her eyes pinned on me and mine on her.It was like we were sending a silent message across to each other. Everyone was present, including her rebellious family members. I was surprised that they didn’t try to kick her out when they found out about the stolen funds. That was a pe
MARIO "Welcome sir!" the pygmy secretary grinned widely as she led me to my father's office. "Mr Morris has been waiting for you," she muttered, cunningly trying to start up a conversation. "The party lasted longer than I expected," I threw a flat reply. But the girl refused to give up, she tugged on my arm and forced me to look down at her. "Is it true that Miss Rosy and Caleb Thompson are engaged? I saw it on a social page." "Hmmm, it's true," I responded and quickened my pace. I got to the closed door, sucked in a deep breath before pushing it open. My dad raised his head and forced a smile into his face when he saw me enter the room. "I am sorry that I kept you waiting," I muttered and walked to the couch then slumped into it, waiting for him to tell me the reason for his sudden invitation. "I heard that they are engaged," he muttered, and I nodded, narrowing my eyes in suspicion. Does whatever he has to say have anything to do with Caleb and Rosy? "I just couldn't hol
ROSY It's been three months since Evan’s escape from prison, three months of peace and curiosity. My curiosity was only satisfied when his body was found floating on water a week ago. Though his face was badly injured and unrecognizable, his body and the mark proved that it was him. Now, I'm full of peace and happiness, not only concerning Evan's death but also my upcoming wedding day. “There you are!” Juliet shrieked as she barged into my office, pulling me out of my reverie. I stretched my lips into a smile and blinked tiredly. “Don't tell me you're already tired from the shopping; the wedding is in a few days, so you better be ready,” she snapped, and I nodded my head. “Yes, ma'am.” She chuckled and dropped a large bag on my desk. “I'm sorry that I couldn't make it to the pre-wedding party, my schedule is so tight that I can hardly eat,” she muttered, breathing out loudly. “Well… that's the price you have to pay for being one of the most famous models in the country,” I
ROSYThe revolver being pointed at me didn't faze me, the face of the woman standing before me was what kept me stunned. “You seem shocked,” she chuckled and advanced towards me. I gasped out and staggered back, holding onto the railings behind me. “Katherine? What the hell are you doing here?” I snapped, glaring confusedly at her. My eyes darted down to her flat belly and my eyes dimmed. Isn't she supposed to be supposed to be pregnant? “What happened to your baby?” She scoffed at my question in disbelief, narrowing her blazing eyes at me. “Well… I killed it,” she muttered and my eyes widened in dismay. “You did what?” I snapped, pursing my lips in anger. She smirked and lowered the gun then tilted her head to the side. “Why? Is it because you're unable to get pregnant again?” Her snide words pricked my heart, making my blood boil. “Does it hurt to watch a child that should have been yours die? Hmmm… I can tell how you feel at the moment. If only God had given me the
With a smile on my radiant face, I watched the kids run around the field aimlessly. I shuddered slightly when I felt wet lips touch my bare neck. I didn't need to turn around to find out who the person was, the scent of his cologne gave him away. “You came here to clear your mind during the holiday, not babysit seven-year-old kids.” He muttered and I chuckled lightly. “I just need to make sure that they're okay,” I replied and he scoffed, wrapping his hands around my shoulders. “Come on, nothing bad is going to happen to them, let's go in,” he nudged. I glanced at our three kids and then back at Caleb's face. “Are you sure?” I muttered and he threw his head back, groaning loudly. “I will be blamed if anything happens,” he said confidently. I turned up my lips and finally relented. Caleb smiled and took my hand, pulling my body against his as he brushed his lips against mine. “Don't try to act weak; what you did years ago still amazes me,” he muttered, and I giggled.
ROSY I took the elevator back to the penthouse, my heartbeat increasing with each step I took from the elevator to the door. I pushed the door open and stepped into the living room. The smell of liquor hit my nose immediately when I stepped in. I turned up my lips in disgust and glanced around the room for him. “Evan?” I called out. My stomach churned when I saw him spin a swivel chair around, his hand holding onto a bottle of liquor. “There you are! I thought you wouldn't show up,” he laughed and got up from the chair. “What do you want?” I snapped, sending a murderous glare at him. He raised his brows in surprise and laughed like a lunatic, waving the bottle of liquor at me. He became quiet and tilted his head in my direction. “All my life, there's only one thing that I have ever wanted.” He gulped a reasonable amount of liquor then shook his finger at me. “You.” My heart shrank and my blood boiled. “Sorry to disappoint you,” I muttered and raised my hand
ROSY "Hello, little red rose, miss me?" The phone dropped from my hand and my heart constricted as I staggered back and panted for air. The excitement in the hall vanished and everyone stared at me in shock. Caleb flinched back at my behavior and stared questioningly at me, but when he realized that I wouldn't give him an answer, he bent down and picked up the phone. It isn't true, is it? That isn't who I thought it was, right? Could it be that Katherine was right? No, no, it can't be. My belly knotted when I saw Caleb's face turn grave. His lips trembled as he forced a name out of his mouth. “Evan?” I felt my heart stop beating and my eyes rolled up. Caleb looked at me, his hand tightening around the phone. He's back! He fucking came back! “Evan?” Mom gasped and murmurs filled the hall. Everyone who knew Evan had a grave look of dismay on their faces. The once joyful atmosphere turned sober and tense at the mention of that terrible and monstrous name. My b
CALEB The large doors pulled open and the sharp rays of sunlight pierced into my eyes. I squinted my eyes, adjusted to the stream of light oozing into the filled-up church, and then looked at the glorious sight some distance before me. She looked angelic; she looked perfect, like a heavenly being. The spotless white dress she wore flowed lazily on the white marble floor as she walked slowly toward me. Her veiled face looked ahead, causing a turbulent feeling in the pit of my belly. The flower she held was Sherry's favorite flower, the blue flower. "Miracle", like Sherry always called it. The rays from the sun surrounded her, making her look like an angel gloriously descending to the earth. Each she took towards me made my heart leap. It felt like I would have a heart attack before she got to me. Everyone's head was turned as hundreds of eyes trailed after her to the altar. I batted my lashes in disbelief when I saw her standing before me, a heart-warming smile on her
CALEB I ran my hands through my disheveled hair as I paced around the waiting room, filled with anxiety. “Calm down, Caleb, calm down,” mom complained, sighing loudly. The door burst open and I spun around, glaring at Mario's pale face. “She has been arrested," Mario said and I grunted in dissatisfaction. “I will sneak into that prison and kill her myself if anything happens to Rosy.” My mom jerked her head in my direction, glaring at me. “You won't do anything like that! And nothing is going to happen to Rosy!” She snapped and I narrowed my eyes, slumping dejectedly into the chair beside me. It was all my fault. If I had gotten there a bit earlier, if I had run up to the balcony instead, she wouldn't have fallen off. She wouldn't be in this critical condition. I'm so sorry that I couldn't save you, I'm such a disappointment,” I muttered, sighing in regret. Perhaps, if I had handled Katherine properly, she wouldn't have shown her face here again. My heart skipped
