Rosaline who just opened the door was surprised to see Ashton stand right outside her door."How can I help you?" She asked."I have something to tell you", he said, causing Rosaline to blink in surprise. What could he possibly want to discuss with me?"Alright go ahead.""Can we talk inside your room? I do not think we should discuss this at your doorstep".Rosaline stared at him for a few minutes, then she opened the door widely, giving him access to enter the room. Once both got into the room, Rosaline sat on the bed while he made himself comfortable on the desk."What do you want to talk about?" Rosaline asked. She could not help but notice that he was slightly flushed and seemed uncomfortable. He raised his head and looked directly into her eye.I'minlovewithyou," he said in one breath."What?"Ashton took a deep breath. It was now or never, he has always been attracted to his brother's wife, right from the day he had set his eyes on her. The fact that his brother was not attract
NEXT MORNINGRosaline sat inside Frederick's car, waiting for him. She had decided to start working for him today. A few minutes later, Frederick came out of the mansion and entered the car. He was surprised to see Rosaline sitting in his car."I thought you lost your company, what are you doing here, all dressed up? Where are you going?""To your company.""I'm not in the mood for jokes, I have a lot to do today.""Aren't you aware that I'm beginning to work as your PA today?" Rosaline asked, then it clicked on him. He hadn't expected his dad to inform her so early. Not saying another word, he entered the car. Thankfully, the chauffeur was back, he didn't have to deal with Isaac again.He immediately drove off the mansion and headed to the company.On getting to the company, both got down from the car and entered, while the chauffeur went to park the car. Immediately they walked into the company, everyone turned in their direction, but on sighting Frederick, they all scrambled to their
After sending Rosaline off to get the files, Frederick continued with his work. When minutes passed, and there was no sign of Rosaline, he went over to Amira's office to get her, while wondering why she took a lot of time. He had just gotten to the door, when he heard the sound of someone being slapped. Then he heard Rosaline's angry voice, he pushed the door open."What is going on here?" He asked. "Sir, your wife slapped me," Amira complained and began crying. Rosaline did not say a word, but just stood there, glaring at Amira."I believe you did something that made her slap you. You can not tell me that you were quietly doing your work, then she came over and slapped you."While he was saying this, Rosaline brushed past him to leave the office."Whatever happened just now is just a preview of what I will do to you the next time you disrespect me," Rosaline said and marched out of the office in anger."You disrespected my wife?" Frederick asked. As long as Rosaline was still legall
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
