"Fred," Rosaline called softly."Yes, baby," Frederick answered."I forgive you," she whispered.Frederick was speechless for a moment. He never expected her to forgive him so quickly. But then, it doesn't matter, her forgiving him this fast was better. He thought and smiled. He hugged her more tightly."Thank you, baby. Thank you. I promise I will be the best husband to you and the best father to our baby when we finally welcome him to the world," Frederick said joyfully."That's exactly why I forgave you, so you can be the best dad to my child," Rosaline said."And the best husband to you as well," Frederick added.Rosaline pulled herself away from his hold."Listen, Fred. I have already gotten over you. And I don't need a husband. I'm only forgiving you because of my unborn. I do not want my child to grow up without a father…""What are you trying to say?" Frederick asked in panic, cutting her off."I believe you understand what I mean. I do not need you in my life, Frederick Mills
"Where did you go with your grandfather," Yvette asked when Rosaline came back to the room.Rosaline hesitated for a while, then exhaled."We just went to his office," She informed her."Your face doesn't say that. Something transpired inside the office, right?" Yvette asked.Rosaline nodded in affirmation and Yvette sighed."Why won't that guy let you be, huh?" Yvette asked dramatically.Rosaline was surprised for a moment. "How did you know that I met a guy?" Rosaline asked."I just know. It's the father of your baby, right?" Yvette asked and Rosaline nodded."Hope you kicked him out of the office?" Yvette asked seriously."Mum," Stanley called warningly."Leave, Stanley. I want to have a discussion with Rosaline," Yvette said.Stanley sent her warning glares before leaving the office."Forgive me, Rosaline. But after I found out that you were pregnant, I did some diggings and got some facts about your baby daddy," Yvette said.Rosaline didn't say a word, but just sat beside her, s
NEXT DAY Frederick dejectedly exited his mansion. He had gotten back so late last night, after receiving the shocking news about Ashton and Veronica's escape. He didn't bother calling the police to confirm it, as he knew that whether he confirms it or not, Rosaline and his unborn were still in danger. His eyes had dark circles, his hair was disheveled and his dressing was nothing to write home about. At that moment, his reputation didn't matter to him. He was just about to divorce the love of his life and the mere thought of that broke him. "Sir," Isaac, who stood by a corner watching him, called. Frederick turned in his direction. And Isaac said. "Do not worry sir, everything will come back to normal. Just have faith," Isaac advised. Frederick didn't bother replying to him, he simply got into his car and drove off. Isaac stood there watching his car's retreating figure. "Everything will be okay," he muttered. Frederick drove to Winnemucca with a heavy heart that day, he didn't
TWO YEARS LATER "So what later happened to Uncle Marcus?" Little Tina asked, her cute little eyes staring curiously at Rosaline. Rosaline smiled fondly and picked her up. "He accepted his wrongdoings and his jail term was reduced," Rosaline said. Even though Tina didn't really understand what she said, she still bobbed her head. "What of Uncle Ashton and Aunt Veronica?" He asked. "Well, those two are stuck in prison forever. They won't be leaving jail ever again." "Wow, I bet they'll really enjoy it there. What's jail like, mum? I want to go too, imagine the kind of fun I could have there," Tina said enthusiastically. Rosaline laughed out loud. "Jail is not for sweethearts like you. It's for bad people who did terrible things," Rosaline explained. "You mean like Grandpa?" Tina asked. "No! Your grandfather is not a bad person," Rosaline exclaimed. "But you said he found it hard to forgive Grandma. He made you and Daddy beg him to forgive Grandma. People who find it hard to f
MILLS COMPANY Sydney, AUSTRALIA "Here are the files you requested," Hailey said and stretched some files to Victor who was engrossed in whatever work he was doing on his laptop. "Just drop it on the table," Victor said nonchalantly, without even sparing her a glance. Hailey sighed and dropped the files on the table. "Is there any other thing you want me to do for you?" She asked and gazed at him, hoping he would at least tell her to do something that involves being next to him. "None for now. You can leave," Victor said curtly, his eyes still focused on his laptop. Instead of leaving, Hailey stood there watching him. If only he knew what a mere sight of him does to her, she thought. "Is there anything you need from me?" Victor asked, finally raising his head to look at her. "Yes," Hailey muttered, but Victor heard her. "What's that?" he asked curiously. "Your heart," Hailey blurted out before she could stop herself. "Pardon?" Victor said. "It's nothing," Hailey rambled a
"Alkira," Hailey called in shock."Vic… Victor," she muttered. Tears filled her eyes instantly.Alkira cursed Hailey inwardly for interrupting her, right at a crucial moment. But then, she coated her anger with a frightened expression. She hastily stood up and pulled her skirt downwards."I'm so sorry, sir. I'm really sorry," She mumbled with a bowed head and ran out of the office.Hailey just stood there watching her leave without uttering a word. Tears trickled down her face. So Victor had been interested in Alkira all these while, she thought. "I must have been a joke to them," Hailey mumbled."Why are you crying?" Victor asked on seeing the tears trickling down her cheeks. He got off his seat and approached her."It's none of your business you lying bastard," Hailey cursed and stormed out of the office."Hailey," Victor called and attempted to go after her, but the door was banged in his face."Awww," he cried out in pain as the door smacked his nose. But Hailey paid no heed to h
Victor sat in his office, with some buttons of his shirt undone. His sleeves were rolled up, and his entire attention was on the work he was doing. The previous events of the day were already forgotten, as the work he was doing was far more important than Alkira's drama. He had to finish the work that day as more files will be brought in before the end of the day, and he needed to finish reviewing the ones he already had to avoid having heaps of files in his office. BANG!His office was door suddenly pushed open with such a loud bang that made his heart leap out of his throat. He jumped up from his seat, startled. His eyes immediately went in the direction of the door, to know the crazy person that pushed the door open in that manner."Hailey, what is wrong with you? You scared me," Victor complained, then went back to relaxing in his seat. His eyes were firmly fixed on Hailey as she stormed towards him like an angry tornado."How dare you?" Hailey yelled on getting close to him."How
"Hailey," Victor tried to call. But Hailey pressed her lips firmly on his and poked her tongue on his lips to make him grant her access to him. Victor pushed her off immediately."Just how much did you have to drink, Hailey?" Victor asked."I'm feeling hot, Victor. Make it go away," Hailey cried and tried to get rid of her clothes.Victor panicked on seeing her."Stop that, Hailey," Victor scolded her and pulled down her dress which she raised up."But I'm feeling hot," Hailey whined like a kid."Then go home," Victor scolded her, now irritated."Get into the car. Let me drive you home," Victor said. But Hailey stood there, whining like a little kid, much to Victor's irritation.Victor groaned in annoyance, unlocked his car and bundled her into it, without bothering to say another word to her. Hailey kept fighting as he carried her.Victor got into the driver's seat and sped out of the company."Victor," Hailey called halfway to her home.Victor ignored her and concentrated on drivin
