Rosaline and Frederick drove home barely saying a word to each other, both were preoccupied with different thoughts. Rosaline was thinking of the way her heartbeat accelerates, just by merely looking at Frederick. Frederick on the other hand was lost, thinking of how to quench the wildfire within him. Earlier today, he had pinched Rosaline, because he didn't want to delve into his desires. But right now, with her ordinarily sitting beside him, he was finding it hard to keep his hands to himself, as they ached to roam her body.The chauffeur parked the car in the garage, and both got down, without saying a word and entered the mansion.After dinner that night, everyone went to bed. That night, Rosaline lay on her bed, lost in thought. She was finding it hard to sleep. Different thoughts occupied her mind. More like different thoughts about Frederick occupied her mind. She shuts off all her thoughts and closes her eyes, to force herself to sleep. Minutes later, she slept off. As Rosaline
Hailey can be seen at a corner of the mansion, with her phone, placed on her ear. She was speaking to Victor."You mean someone entered the mansion and attacked Frederick's wife?" Victor asked in disbelief. After finding clues about Rosaline's car chasing incident together, both teamed up to bring the couple closer to each other."I'm also shocked. The worst part of it is that there is no sign that someone broke into the mansion. Which means that whoever is responsible for this, is right inside this mansion with us.""You all have to be really careful," Victor advised"I'm well aware of that. You know the incident made Fred and his wife sleep together in his room, for the very first time," Hailey updated Victor."I guess the saying that everything happens for a cause is true. You have to utilize this opportunity to make them begin to share his bedroom," Victor said thoughtfully."That sounds great," Hailey said, sounding enthusiastic. Her enthusiasm suddenly dropped. With a low voice,
"I'm sorry, what?" Ashton asked."How did you get the injury on your left eye?" the investigator repeated."I do not know what you're talking about. I do not have any injury whatsoever in my eye.""Then what do you have to say about this?" the investigator asked, then pulled out a mirror from the bag he was carrying and placed it in front of Ashton, so he could see for himself. While this was happening, the rest of the Mills were completely speechless. Ashton gazed into the mirror, and when he saw an injury just a little above his left eye, he recalled something.FEW HOURS BEFORE THE QUESTIONING BEGAN.Ashton was ascending the stairs, when one of the soldiers who was descending the stairs, suddenly tumbled and fell on him. "I'm so sorry, let me help you up," the soldier said and helped him rise to his feet. Once he got up to his feet, the soldier bowed his head and walked off. Ashton had barely walked off when he felt his left eye sting. He had wanted to go check his eyes in the mir
"We are here already." They heard Frederick say. They all turned in the direction of the door. There stood Frederick and Rosaline who had been listening to their argument."No need for the argument," Frederick said."Henceforth, I will be sharing my bedroom with my wife," he declared.Hailey squealed happily, surprising everyone, herselincludedve. Everyone turned to her direction, surprise and shock written on their faces.She cleared her throat, then her over face came back."You made the right decision." Bradley praised him, smiling happily. Yvonne scoffed, Ashton gave out a smile that did not reach his eyes. He had been hoping that this occurrence would cause them a divorce, but that didn't happen.Rosaline on the other hand did not utter a word. She was meaning to inform them that she was not ever going back to her room again. And that she can't stay in a room alone. So when Frederick made that declaration, she was surprised at first, but the thought of having a companion with her
"I won't be going to the company today, I'll be taking my wife out to get her mind off the unpleasant incident," Frederick informed his dad.Bradley stared at him for a while, wondering what was going on in his (Frederick) mind. He had been addressing Rosaline as his wife, ever since he came back that day, and he even decided to share his bedroom with her. All these were something he would never do, except he was pressured to do them."What changed? I've been trying to point out why you suddenly changed your attitude toward your wife. What really happened?" Bradley questioned.Frederick smiled on hearing the question, then replied:"Love happened." At that moment, he looked like a child who finally found his long-lost toy."Love happened, Dad. I'm in love with my wife."Bradley's lips curved into a smile."I'm happy for you son. This means that Zara has been forgotten. I do not need to continue searching for her, right?""Yes, no need to continue looking for her. I thought about her f
"You are fired. I will be heading to Australia myself tomorrow morning," Frederick said.He had barely finished talking when the office door clicked open and Victor entered. "I heard what happened. No need to travel over to Australia. I will travel. I think it is better if I use this opportunity to take over that branch." He turned to the young man."Go back there, pack whatever property you have in that office, and leave, you are no longer needed."The young man fell to the floor and began to cry while pleading with them not to fire him. Frederick made a telephone call. Minutes later security guards entered the office and pulled the man away.Rosaline just sat on her seat, speechlessly watching everything unfold. Victor looked in her direction, smiled at her, and waved at her, which she returned with a polite smile."When are you leaving?" Frederick asked."I will be taking the night flight, I'm leaving today."Frederick nodded in understanding. ********************That day, Rosal
"Miss Amira Ronald, you're fired," Frederick said, without having an eyelash."Fi..fired? But I did not do anything wrong. I clearly told your wife not to sign the documents…""Leave!" Frederick thundered, cutting her off. Rosaline giggled, she was definitely enjoying this. Amelia glared at her. "With all due respect, sir. Your wife was the one who signed the documents, not me," Amira said. She was not going to back out easily. "You still have the nerve to lie in my presence?" Frederick asked, eying her displeasure."Get out!" He thundered again. This time, he rose from his seat and walked towards the door, pulled it open, and gestured to her to see herself out.Amira slowly walked to the door. But instead of leaving like she was told, he turned to Frederick."I love you…. I really do," she confessed. At that moment, Rosaline felt a surge of anger within her. She stood up and stormed towards Amira and Frederick at the door."Do not test my patience, young lady. Get the hell out of
As Frederick drove Rosaline to the unknown, she couldn't help but wonder what he was up to. She occasionally glanced at him, while wondering where they were headed."I know I'm too handsome, you can now stop staring," Frederick said. Rosaline scoffed and looked out the window.About thirty minutes later, the car pulled up in front of a grand restaurant. Rosaline marveled at the sight before her. This was the most beautiful restaurant she has ever come across."What are we doing here?" she asked."We are here to play," Frederick replied and began to laugh. Rosaline wondered if he had banged his head on a wall. Everything he was doing right from the moment they left the office, didn't seem like something he would do.Rosaline and Frederick took an elevator to the rooftop of the restaurant. Frederick had made a reservation earlier. The rooftop was lit with red candles, whose flames glowed in the dark night, making it enchanting. The table was covered with red material. In fact, the whole
