Frederick stared at the figure that just entered the office. His jaws tightened as he stared at her. It was the same person he had spent the past two months hating. The same person that wrecked his heart. The same cheat that had the nerve to get pregnant for another man, while married to him. The same person he will never forgive.Rosaline approached him with a smile plastered on her face. Her smile annoyed him. Her smile broke him. How could she still be smiling even when standing in front of him? She was supposed to feel guilty for what she did. But here she was smiling as if nothing ever went wrong between them.When Rosaline got to where he was, she smiled broadly and stretched out her hands for a handshake."Nice meeting you Mr Mills. I'm Rosaline Mark," Rosaline introduced herself, she acted nonchalantly as if Frederick's presence didn't affect her.Frederick didn't make any attempt to shake hands with her. The mere sight of her repulsed him, so how was he supposed to shake hand
Once Frederick left the office and slammed the door shut, Stanley left his seat and rushed over to Rosaline."You know him right?" he asked."No, that is not what I should be asking," he muttered."Did you really have an affair while you were married?" Stanley asked.Rosaline did not bother to answer his question. Asking if she had an affair while married was an insult to her dignity. This was all Frederick's fault, she thought. One day, Frederick was going to realize that he made the wrong decision by denying her pregnancy, and it would be too late by then because she was never going back to him again.Stanley, seeing that his question annoyed her, scratched his neck and coughed awkwardly. When he still got no reaction from Rosaline who seemed lost in thought, he changed the subject."How dare you call me your little cousin?" he asked, pretending to be annoyed.His question finally pulled Rosaline's attention to him. "Are you not my little cousin?" Rosaline asked.Stanley playfully
Amira walked back to the corner where Alex Wright was waiting for her.Alex Wright on seeing her approach him, got ready to knock Rosaline out. When he didn't see her beside Amira, he left his hiding place and approached Amira. "Where is she?" He asked."I could not make her come with me. The plan fai…." She trailed off when he stared daggers at her."Don't even complete that statement," he barked."I tried, but she was with someone," Amira tried to explain.Before she could even complete her statement, Alex Wright grabbed her throat and pushed her till her back landed painfully on the car.She yelped in pain and tried to pull his hand off her neck, but who was she kidding, he was too strong for her."You are strangling me," she stuttered."Shut up and listen to me," Alex Wright hissed.By now, Amira was slowly running out of air, she kept struggling relentlessly to free herself from him.Alex Wright's free hand landed on her cheek. "Struggle one more time and I will make sure to end
Yvette heartlessly lashed the men who were tied up in front of her. One look at her face, one would know what the men did had angered her to the core. Her eyes blazed dangerously, her hold on the whup tightened and she mercilessly dealt with the men. Their screams of pain echoed in the dungeon. Meanwhile, Clement sat at the corner watching her deal with them. His eyebrows were furrowed and his lips thinned. Who sent you to Rosaline?" Yvette asked as she continued to deal with them. Her whip landed on different parts of their body. Each part it landed on peeled off and began to bleed. One of the men fell into a state of unconsciousness frightening the other."Will you tell me or do you also want to join him?" Yvette asked. The man kept shut, determined not to say a word to her."You leave me with no choice…" she beckoned on two guys who were standing at a corner. They were the guards who were in charge of the dungeon."Throw him into the well," She ordered coldly, even though there was
It has been just one day since Rosaline got the revelation about her mother's accident, one day since Clement discovered that Alex Wright had killed his daughter, one day since Stanley claimed he had had enough of his mum's attitude towards him and true to his words, he came home that day.Rosaline stood on her patio looking at the sky. Her eyes were puffy and misty. Her face was reddened due to too much crying. Stanley stood by her side offering her all the mental support she needed. "I can't seem to figure out why a thug will randomly kill my mum. It doesn't make any sense to me. And your mum won't let me go back in there to find out why he killed my mum. I mean my mum was just simple, she always minded her busy, and she never offended anyone," Rosaline ranted, tears endlessly streaming down her face."Let out your thoughts and frustration. Don't keep it bottled up. Trust me I've been there and it wasn't pleasant," Stanley coaxed her.Rosaline abruptly turned to him. She held his h
Ashton alighted from his car with just one thought in mind. 'Get Rosaline pregnant' He had just arrived at Winnemucca and was heading to the hotel where Rosaline worked previously, thinking that she still worked there. His mind was made up. His eyes blazed with determination. He was going to make Rosaline his, without anyone's help. He was done with making allies. Since Marcus could dump him so easily, he didn't want to risk it again.Ashton entered the hotel determined not to leave until he accomplishes his purpose of coming to Winnemucca. He took a seat at the bar and ordered a drink while looking around for Rosaline. When an hour passed and Rosaline was nowhere in sight, Ashton knew he had to ask around.He waved at a waitress he had also seen at the Marks party that day. "Do you need anything, sir?" The waitress asked."Where is Rosaline?" he asked."Rosaline? I do not know anyone that goes by that name sir," the waitress answered honestly.Ashton pulled out his phone and showed
Ashton found his way to the Marks mansion. Since everyone said that Rosaline was the granddaughter of Clement Mark. That means she will be in the Marks mansion. He concluded."I'm here to see Rosaline," He told the guards who blocked him from entering the mansion."Who are you to her?" The guards queried."Go in there and tell her that Ashton is here to see her," he said bossily.The guards sent a maid to inform Rosaline of Ashton's visit. However, they failed to mention his name to her.Ashton stood outside the mansion waiting for Rosaline. "Where is the visitor?" he heard someone with a deep voice ask.He watched as the guards pointed in his direction, and a bulky guy approached him with a stern expression. "Where is Rosaline?" Ashton asked when he failed to see Rosaline."Seize him," the bulky man ordered.Ashton's eyes grew wide."Seize who?" He asked and looked around to make sure they weren't talking about him.The guards forcefully seized him."What do you think you are doing
"We found this," a guard said and handed two bottles containing pills to Clement.Clement examined the bottles closely, then turned to Ashton."What is a sex stimulant and sleeping pill doing in your pocket?"Ashton stayed silent as he was short of words at that moment. He never expected them to search him. "Will you answer the question or should I force you to answer?" Clement asked."Fuck it. Don't you get it, I'm a guy with sexual needs, and what those items are doing in my pocket is my business, not yours," Ashton answered."Once my family finds out that you are holding me captive. The business collaboration will be canceled. So you better let me go if you still want the collaboration," Ashton added.Hearing him talk about collaboration, Clement now knew that he was indeed a Mills. However, for Rosaline's safety, he still surfed the internet for the Mills family picture. When he saw Ashton's photo there, he ordered for Ashton to be untied and led him out of the dungeon.Clement s
