Rose Alexander
I stood by the doorway with a shocked expression. My brain was trying to comprehend what my eyes were seeing in front of me.My mind and heart were both arguing as I couldnāt believe that my best friend, someone who was the most precious person to me, someone I treated like family was in bed naked with my beloved fiance. The only man I loved so much in my whole entire life.But then my heart kept arguing with my brain trying to tell me it was only someone that resembled him. But seeing the look on the two faces said otherwise. They looked like they couldnāt believe I was standing before them.ā Whatās this?ā I asked, my voice barely audible.Blinking a couple times, it seems the two realized they werenāt imagining stuff and I was right in front of them. Quickly gathering the sheets as they struggled, covering themselves up.Looking up at me with a pleading expression.āRoseā my fiance called jumping out of the bed desperately trying to get his trouser that was lying on the floor. ā please I can explain my love āClosing my eyes I took a deep breath, trying my best not to cry as I realized my hope for the man not being my fiance was shattered.I was driving home from work when I felt my cramps becoming unbearable, thatās why I decided to go to Selenaās house hoping she had gotten some medicine, not expecting to find them both in bed.āWhat?ā I asked, ā what do you want to explain?" How you lied about having a business meeting while you were in bed enjoying yourself with my best friend,? Even though I told you I was in serious pain, is that it? āāRose please.āMy best friend spoke for the first time trying to join the conversation. Turning I looked at her blinking my eyes trying so hard not to cry in front of both of them.Looking at her I couldnāt help but think why. I treated her like my sister, we did literally everything together, went everywhere together. I thought as I shook my head, closing my ears to block the voice of Selena moaning Ryanās name from earlier.Looking up at them I chuckled darkly like one who had lost her mind. I still couldnāt believe this was happening to me right now, it must be a dream right, I thought looking at them I couldnāt help but think about how much they deserved each other.Ryan has always been the famous, popular and eligible bachelor of Canada, Canada most wanted bachelor, while Selena was Canada beauty queen, the woman who everyone desired to have, she was on every manās mind and heart.While I was just there, someone who always excluded myself from others, someone who people donāt know much about.I was just a Shrinking Violet.It made sense now that I thought of it as I felt stupid for believing a guy like Ryan would be interested in me, for believing in his lies. But I couldnāt blame myself, when Ryan approached me and told me he was interested in me I felt happy, I felt like I was as lucky as Cinderella and as strong as queen Elsa. But those were just my fantasies I thought as I turned to look at them again. It made sense I thought once more.ā Please let me explain Rose, ā Ryan said in a hurry.Chuckling I looked at him ā Donāt bother ā I smiled as I continued ā Just save me the stress and lies you are about to fill my head with. āRemoving the engagement ring I threw it on the floor towards him not caring if it got damaged or not.Turning to my ex best friend I smiled ā I wish you both a happy life since our engagement is off now. āTurning around I left the room with every ounce of strength I had left in me, willing myself not to shed tears until I had left the premises. I am a queen and I refuse to let my enemies see me in tears. Thatās right from this moment those two were now my enemies.Walking out of the house in a fiery state, I walked towards my car, opening the door, which was later closed shut, turning around to look at him, anger in my eyes.ā Rose please let me explain my love āRyan said panting.ā Thereās nothing to explain here Ryan, get your hands off my car before I do something we both will regret. ā I tried to open the car once more, but it was shut again.Taking a deep breath I pushed a button on my keys. Turning around I looked at Selena who was standing a little bit far behind Ryan.ā Keep my car safe, I will send someone to come take it tomorrow ā I said before making my way out of the premises which disgusted me right now.Opening my phone to try and book a cab.ā Rose ā Ryan called, running towards me grabbing my arm.Jerking my arm out of his hold as I felt disgusted by the touch that I once yearned for.ā Get away from me while I am being nice Ryan.āāDonāt worry I will make sure to announce that our engagement is off to the entire Canada first thing tomorrow morning.āI said walking off once more.ā Rose please āhe kept begging, holding my hands in a firm grip, not willing to let me go.Struggling to free myself from his grip I decided to kick him where the sun does not shine.Releasing my hands he quickly caught my leg before it could come in contact with his balls, looking at me with horror in his eyes.Seeing I was free I pushed him away as hard as I could, releasing myself from his grip completely before taking off, running towards the gate of the compound while he chased after me.Opening the gate of the compound I ran out, trying my best to get away from here as fast as I could, I could feel my strength slowly fading away as tears started pouring down my face.Taking a sharp corner I ran into the street in the middle of the night without looking.Hearing the horn of a truck I turned to my left, horror struck me as I saw the light of the vehicle which drove fast towards me hitting me before I could think of moving.Stopping the car the old man got down to check what just happened. Seeing what he did, he quickly got back into his car and drove away leaving me on the street.ā Rose ā Ryan shouted looking at me in the middle of the street, running towards me.ā Donāt! letās go ā Selena said, dragging him away" " Look Ryan this is an opportunity for both of us, we can finally get rid of her. ā She said cupping his cheeks.ā But Rose. āHe said, bending down to carry me.ā No! Ryan you just need her for money after all right? And now sheās gone you can have all the Alexander shares. āLooking at them with tears in my eyes and blood rushing out of my mouth, I was slowly losing my strength, my eyes were slowly closing.Mustering all the strength I had left in me, I raised my hands putting them on Ryanās shoes, hoping he would see how desperate I was and not listen to my ex best friend.ā Letās go Ryan by tomorrow everything will be over and we will get everything ā Selena said tugging his arms.Turning around he held Selenaās hands and left.Looking at them I couldnāt believe that someone I considered my best friend and the man I loved would do this to me.Tears came down my eyes as I couldnāt believe I was going to die like this while they were going to enjoy their lives.No, I screamed inside my head, it is not over yet, I must avenge myself, I refuse to be played like a fool and die like this, I will definitely be back to get back at them.Itās not over until I say it is, I thought before slowly letting darkness take over me.Alfonso TommasoLooking down at the woman I saved last week from death, I couldnāt help but wonder what exactly happened.The doctor had come to check her and ensure she was going to be okay. But it was almost a week already and he was getting worried.What could have happened to her was that she was lying in the middle of the road dressed up.It could be that she was hit, but the dress she was putting on and her jewelry clearly showed that she was a loaded lady, so why was she out by that time of the night? I couldnāt help but wonder.Sitting beside her bed lost in thought, I heard a small sound coming from beside him.I was stunned when I looked at the lady who was now awake and looking around, her gaze stopping at me looking at me with her emerald green eyes which held pain in them.Whatever must have happened to her earlier was definitely still affecting her.Looking closely at her examining her features, she clearly was beautiful with her natural face, more beautiful than when she
Rose AlexanderStaring at the impossible and stubborn man in front of me with anger in my eyes.He was the most arrogant man I had ever come across in my whole entire life, but then again aināt all handsome guys like that, so sure of themselves like they could rule the world or have the world under their feet just because they had a bit of a special face.I definitely was not going to lie about the fact that he was handsome, that man looked like a freaking walking Greek god, a sculptured art that needed to be preserved in a museum.Walking towards the table, I took my seat staring angrily at him to show my displeasure in this situation.ā Care for some tea? ā he asked, smiling politely at me not caring about the glares I threw his way.I wanted nothing more than to leave here quickly. I had matters to tend to and revenge to serve and my enemies were roaming about freely on the street enjoying themselves and these thoughts alone made me bitter, but I refuse to let the arrogant man in fr
Rose AlexanderI kept a poker expression throughout my meal not minding the occasional stares Alfonso kept throwing my way.I couldnāt believe anyone could fall for what Selena said, what were they worried about? If anything does two were popping champagne happy to have gotten rid of me, but itās okay I have another surprising news that will break the headline soon,I will be back to take my revenge, you know what they say ā revenge is best served cold ā and I will make sure to serve it to both of them even if I have to dedicate my life for this revenge.Alfonso TommasoSitting down by the lake in my Villa I couldnāt help but think about Rose, the anger I saw in her eyes earlier was huge, I mean I donāt blame her I also canāt believe her ex best friend and fiance can do something as devious as that to her while she as been nothing but good towards the both of them.Looking at the beautiful view in front of me, I couldnāt help but feel a bit worried about Rose, she definitely has been t
Ryan AngeloStaring at the television in front of me, I couldnāt help but think about what had happened a week ago, it was now all over the news thanks to Selena but what made my mind feel a little bit unsettled was the fact that I donāt really feel that bad about what happened.I kept wondering if my conscience was finally dead, that I felt no remorse about what happened to Rose.I mean I did not hit her right? And I definitely was chasing after her to ensure that she was safe and did not do anything stupid to harm herself.I couldnāt help but remember her eyes that evening, they looked dead as if she was finally done with whatever life was throwing her way.I know she felt betrayed and hurt that was why I followed her to explain to her.Honestly I was more worried right now than anything, we left her lying on the road expecting to hear news of her body found dead the next morning but she was missing and nobody had come forward to claim that they took her to the hospital and no hospit
Rose PovThe day went by with me spending most of it in the library reading some books. It was quite interesting to say, I was so engrossed in reading that I did not know when the sun set.Hearing a knock on the door brought me out of my world, unconsciously I sat straight smoothing the dress I had on which was given to me earlier on by Sofia, before saying a " come in "" Rose "I heard his voice before he pushed the door open making his way into the room. My heart kept beating fast with each step he took. Deciding to count it as nothing, I assured myself it was only because I was preparing myself to confront him." Wow! Would you look at who's home already, if it isn't our Noble Marquis "I spat at him. " It must have been fun fooling me right? " I continued raising an eyebrow before glaring at him. " What's wrong? " he asked, giving me a surprised look. Walking towards me he stopped a little bit far from me." Ohh nothing at all, just mentally tapping myself to wake up and not get f
Lying comfortably on the bed in my bedroom in Alfonso Villa, I was so into the book I was reading, it was quite interesting and the plot was so twisted making me want to do nothing but read more.Hearing a knock coming from the door I grimaced, who could it be? I just got to the most interesting part of the book and it needed any full attention I thought before lazily dragging myself up, going towards the door to answer it.Opening the door I saw Sofia, raising an eyebrow at her. I don't mean to be rude but all I wanted right now was to get back to my book. Smiling a little at me " I was asked to ask if you would like to take anything. " Giving her forced smile I shake my head before replying " no am good. " Closing the door I quickly race back to the bed jumping on it and picking the book up ready to finish it.After some few chapters I heard a knock on the door again, groaning loudly. I got up to open the door.Looking at the old lady in front of me who had a black and white unifor
Rose AlexanderI stood by the side of the bed with my mouth open as I looked towards the pile of dresses and shoes that were in the middle of the room. Raising my head back up I saw some ladies bringing in more clothes and bags with them.Groaning quietly as I knew it was the work of that devil I never took it seriously when he said he was going to rebrand me, but that heel devil was actually going through with his plan. "Madam please come and pick whatever you will like please" the woman who I got to know was a designer asked me gesturing for me to come forward. Picking each piece and stretching it to see the designer I frowned as most of the dresses here were not my style really, they were either too revealing or too bold and I was more of a girl who likes and believes in covering myself up from head to toe.It's been over an hour and we still could not get into any agreement as I refused to pick any of the clothes that were brought for me. Blowing an air of frustration the designe
Rose Alexander PovI had to wake up early today in order for me to execute my plan. I had everything covered of course except for the guard that am now finding out are guarding the front of the gigantic gate of this mansion. I marked down every single place that has a camera, and every angle I can take to escape, I know it will not be easy but either way I have to leave here today and I know I can't just walk out and say I want to go. That arrogant beast won't let me so it up to me.Fixing the cap on my head I looked around one more time to see if am missing anything before bolting to my room as I saw the sun was already rising and Sofia would soon come get me for breakfast.Reaching my room I quickly undressed myself and threw my hat somewhere in the room, putting back on my night wear before jumping on the bed. Picking up the remote control I decided to check how far the topic of my disappearance have gone.Half way through a programing I was watching I heard a knock on my door know

Chapter Eighty-SixAuthor's PovIn the small, cold jail cell, Mr. Matteo sat alone on his narrow cot, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts and memories. The sound of silence enveloped him, giving him the space to reflect on how he had ended up in this place.As he stared at the bare walls, Matteo's eyesight transcended the physical, and he found himself gazing deep into his own past. He recalled a time when he was a young, ambitious man, driven by dreams of success, fame, and fortune. He had believed that wealth and power would bring him happiness, but little did he know that his pursuit would consume him and eventually lead him here, to this prison cell.Matteoās path to this point had been filled with misguided decisions, unethical actions, and a gradual detachment from his values.

And he knew exactly who could make that happen.He knocked on the door, and his mother greeted him with a warm smile. "Alfonso, dear, what brings you here today?"With a gleam in his eyes, Alfonso replied, "Ma, I need your help. I want to organize a day for Rose where she can forget about all her worries and just enjoy herself. Will you and Rico join me?"Mrs. Tommaso's eyes lit up with excitement.

The city was buzzing with news of her recent conflict with Ryan, and rumors of her defeat had spread like wildfire. Worried and uncertain, he couldn't bear the thought of Rose in distress.Finally, unable to resist his concern any longer, Rico picked up his phone and dialed Rose's number. After a few rings, she answered, her voice surprisingly calm and composed."Hello, Rico. What's on your mind?" Rose greeted him, her voice holding a hint of weariness."Rose," Rico began, his voice filled with genuine worry. "I heard what happenedāthe rumors spreading about the fight with Ryan. Are you alright? I need to see you."There was a small pause on the other end of the line, and then Rose let out a soft sigh. "Thank you for your concern, Rico. I appreciate it. But there is no need to worry. I am fine."Rico, however, was not easily convinced. "Rose, you know how
Chapter Eighty-OneAuthor's PovAs news of the evidence against Ryan began to spread, panic and anger consumed both Ryan and his conniving associate, Mr. Matteo.

But now, faced with the crumbling of their scheme, they knew they had to act swiftly.Ryan's face contorted with fury as he learned that his elaborate web of lies was being exposed. He slammed his hands down on his desk, sending papers flying in a fit of rage. "How could this happen?" he seethed, his voice quaking with anger. "We were so close to eliminating Rose once and for all."Mr. Matteo, typically composed and calculating, found himself similarly overwhelmed by a mixture of anger and fear.
