Is this love, Mr CEO? Kindness for interest
ROSÉ’s POVAs if it was a scene from a romantic movie, his flickering eyes locked with mine there, making my heart flutter.“He came…”I thought to myself, “just when I thought everyone had abandoned me, he showed up.”At first, a soft smile of gratitude tugged the corners of my lips but faded away when I sensed the hesitance in his steps.As he neared, his demeanor dissolved any thought that someone had come to check on me.Darcy’s demeanor lacked warmth, his usually glimmering emerald eyes now dark and mocking as he gazed at me.“Are you lost babygirl?” He asked with a smirk.Plush pink bloomed on my face instantly and I knew to put my gaze down.“How have you been?” His voice firm, yet oddly excited for the kind of expression he had on his face.He adjusted the cap on his head, further concealing his face.“Won’t you answer me? It seems you’re okay, seeing as you can still afford a luxurious hotel…”“Tell me, who is paying for this? Navy’s mother? Or his father? I’ll give you an a

NAVY’S POVWinter in Washington had dragged on a wee bit longer than usual.The piece inspired by Elodie had received recognition from all over the globe. Every time, I signed the production of a new batch, guilt tugged at the back of my mind- today wasn’t any different. As I signed each of the next hundred coats to be released this week, a familiar pang of guilt knotted in my stomach. I reassured myself that it was okay. Still, it was barely enough to hold me back from setting up a press release. Despite the fact that ‘Elodie’ was one of my most successful designs in my career, I decided to end it.“This is the last release for Elodie.” I declared firmly. Soft murmurs and protests erupted in the conference room, “what?! Why? Can he do that? Thousands of people have their order waiting.” Both the press and VARDE’s workers were saying the same thing.A wry smile graced my lips as I scanned across the room. “Not one of you is wearing the trench coat on, yet you object to my decisi

Rosé's POVSome people may call it strength when life throws lemons at you and you end up licking it with a smile. If we're being realistic, we would choose apples over lemons. Despite, my wishes for apples, lemons were all I had been offered, and I was determined to make the best of it.Well, that was my resolve when I stepped into the large cafe in front of Saint Francis Cathedral. "This cafe is owned by the Catholic Church over there, and they try to be considerate..." Mary explained, "Don't be nervous, and just be yourself.""Okay," I nodded, "thank you, Mary." "Let's celebrate when you have passed the interview." She smiled, stepping into her car. I stood at the entranceway of the cafe, watching Mary's car join the morning bustle of Washington."Goodness! Where am I?!" I blurted out suddenly, realizing that I had no clue how to get back to the hotel."Oh, Rosé!" I groaned sadly, pivoting in search of a signpost or something.My eyes unexpectedly locked with a pair already star

ROSE'S POVMy first day at Springs Cafe was the greatest first day in any work place. As the moments unfurled, it only affirmed my instincts that this would the place of positive change for me. Amir's innocent pure eyes would always remind of that.As day moved gradually to dusk, the activities of the cafe had shifted to that a diner. The door bell that chimed in the air announcing a customer's arrival during coffee hours was replaced by a light switch during dinner.For every customer that stepped into Green, a soft glow greeted him first. To me, it was a creative detail- your spotlight moment. "I hope I don't forget this feeling when my Amelia is born. One day, when I walk through that door, I want her in my arms as a trophy." I said softly, my eyes dreaming the moment."I think what you should be doing right now is getting ready to go," Amir's teasing voice broke into my thoughts, stirring my attention."I don't know how to get home..." I pouted sadly.Amir erupted in a coo, chuc

Rosé's POVAmir's suggestion caught me off guard. It was obvious in the way my features expressed the surprise. A small smile played on his lips as he glanced at me. "Don't worry about anything else and just come with me, Ariel. I live with my mother, you're safe. I promise,""You live with your mother?!" I blurted out before I could withhold myself. "What are you, 5?""33," Amir replied quirkily, his lazy smile stood in place firmly. "My mother has Alzheimer's, she used to run this place...""Oh," I exclaimed, clasping my hands over my mouth as if that was enough to show my remorse for being too quick to judge. "I'm sorry, I blabbed away. I'm too comfortable...""Me too," Amir replied, "but since you do not want to come home with me and I would feel guilty if let you go anywhere by this time of the night, would you rather stay in my secret room here at the cafe?"Personally, going back to Noah's hotel didn't seem much of a great deal if he said it was thirty miles from here, but hi

Navy’s POVAs planned on that one day, when everything around me crumbled, I hopped on the next plane back home. I was in need of some scolding and Mother’s constant nagging would be perfect.Beginning from the fact that I was going uninvited, and would probably arrive in the middle of the night when the old couple was sleeping.Still, there was no better time. As I walked through the terminal, I texted Cecilia, “Let’s end our little play, my wife’s coming home.”After that, the next time I checked my phone was when a cab driver dropped me in front of Papà’s gate. It was 1 in the morning.I exhaled deeply as I pressed the doorbell. I heard it ringing from the receiver, the sound of it piercing as though it were just beside me.The guilt of waking them with such startling gnawed at me. I instantly paused and prayed Enzo was awake, or Nonna would be just fine.Somebody, please open the gate! I groaned, softly banging my forehead on the wall.Unexpectedly, a groggy, tired voice chimed

NAVY’S POVThe house held its breath, the buddha bowl before slowly lost its taste as I glanced at Papà and realized he was serious.“I don’t want to see you Navidad. Leave,” Papá repeated.Nothing prepared me for this kind of punishment.“Papà,…” “Quiet, Lumbar!” Papà bellowed, cutting him in.I glanced at Mother for help but she looked away. The silence stretched on as I sat brazen to my spot, I would rather he gave me an earful than this. “Navidad,…”“Enough, Alessandro!” Mother’s voice boomed in the air, cutting through the thick silence and interrupting Papà. “Go to bed, Navy. We will continue tomorrow,” Mother muttered, The room echoed with the screeching sound of my chair against the floor as I pushed back, rising from my seat.“Goodnight Papà,” I muttered reluctantly.“Wait up,” Lumbar said, rising from the table too.Together, we made our way up to our suite, a side of the house distinct from Papà’s side. As I trudged up the stairs, my mind racing with thoughts, Maya’s v

The question of ‘how?’ flew right out the window when Lumbar unexpectedly announced his knowledge of Rosé’s whereabouts. I exhaled a breath I didn’t realize I was holding, feeling a rush of surprise and relief wash over me. “Goodnight brother,” Lumbar’s voice echoed in the room accompanied by a squishing sound of the couch as he stood up.He placed a comforting hand over my shoulder, patting me gently.“I am sorry I couldn’t do much, I should have found another way even if Papà agreed to it.”My heart leaped in my chest, as I glanced at his sunken eyes, “You need rest, come on now, let’s go to bed.” I quipped, feigning indifference to his unexpected display of affection. A soft smile played on his lips, a subtle hint that he saw through my facade of indifference. “You too, we have a long day tomorrow.”A silent exchange of goodnight and sleep well echoed in the air as we went in the opposite direction of each other. Lumbar’s apartment was at the left, while mine was at the right. A

Paula instantly exclaimed, “I’m getting married tonight, please let’s focus on the road.”A soft chuckle escaped my lips as I glanced at Finn, “she’s burning you,” I teased, Finn nodded agreeably, “I am searching for a good comeback…”Paula broke into a soft laughter, flailing her arms in the air. “What are we buying first?” “A wedding dress first, before the bridesmaids dresses. We haven’t even decided on the color. We’re wasting time!” Grace exclaimed, strangely motivating us in the right way.“Pink,” Paula replied, her voice cracking with emotions, suddenly she broke down in

"Maybe having you as my legal guardian won't be so bad," Grace's voice boomed into my thoughts, her excitement evident in her bubbly tone."I was worried about us, about the kind of relationship I would have with you." She continued in a tone calmer than the first.I glanced at her with an eyebrow raised. "She told you about me?"Grace nodded, her gaze softening as she glanced at me. "There are only two people mamañ talks about you, and her mother.""She was always complaining about you." Her voice shivered faintly as she
Is this love, Mr CEO? See you in Paris
Navy’s POVLove only took a moment, and I was witnessing that moment right before me.Finn had no notice of the heart that was not beating for him, fascinated by his mere presence.My gaze flickered from Rosé to Finn, before returning to Grace.

The morning sun was yet to show his face, yet the sniffles from her mother and aunty must have woken my daughter, her presence now contributing to the chorus of tears in the room.I fell into a state of chaos, torn between racing to my daughter or my wife, not knowing who to console first.Amelia got louder, hurling me towards her direction.“I’m sorry,” Grace’s soft voice echoed in the room, “please, let me rely on you… as a sister. I have no one else.”Cradling my daughter on chest, I turned to face them. Rosé was quivering slightly, her face flushed with a mix of tears and relief. “Hmmm,” I exhaled softly, looking between mother and daughter.“Such crybabies.” I remarked, stirring a blush on Rosé’s face.“I think she is hungry…” Grace croaked, her voice barely above a whisper.I nodded, “I think so too… and I f

Chapter 143Navy’s POVI blinked my eyes open, perturbed by the noise in the house. It was barely a minute since I closed my eyes, my eyes were heavy from the the lack of sleep.The first image that came into my view, was an image of Rosé packing a luggage, and instantly, my heart plummeted at the sight of it, thudding against my chest.“Baby, what’s going on?” I asked, the drowsiness in my eyes was completely gone as I jolted to my feet, making my way to Rosé.“Please, tell me, what’s wrong? Please…” Rosé turned to me, her eyes blaring with something I had never seen before.“Let’s go to Paris… let’s go today, now, let’s just go!”“Why?” I asked, “I’ll do whatever you want me to do but I need to understand why first.” “Mamañ, she’s gone…” Rosé replied, her voice quivering as she spoke, “She left Grace here and disappeared, just like me… she’s abandoned her. You think she’s still going to change? You think we still have a chance to her support? That woman deserves to burn in hell!”
Is this love, Mr CEO? For your sins
Chapter 142ROSE POV Navy sat on the armchair in my spacious room, observing me as I paced agitatedly around, seething with anger at mamañ.“I can’t believe her!” I breathed, “The message Andre sent to us is a clear threat, yet she perceives it as him seeking her. What’d I tell you? She would choose Andre over anyone at any time.”“Elodie,” Navy’s soothing voice interjected, imbued with longing. As our eyes met, I could not help but notice the desire in his gaze. His gaze steadied on me, the intensity of it sending shivers down my spine. Despite my anger at mamañ, in that moment, all I could focus on was the sudden pull between us. His presence filled the room, wafting around me like a curl of smoke.“Rosé,” Navy murmured, his voice barely above a whisper, but it echoed loudly in the silence between us.“Uh,” he cleared his throat, “She is just in love… could you look at it from that perspective?“A wave of disappointment struck me as the desire in his eyes faded while he spoke.I

ROSÉ’s POVA soft exhaled escaped me, as my eyes crinkled with tears, a lump formed in my throat as I struggled to speak.“What… what do you mean, Maa?” Grace spoke out finally, breaking the silence.The answer to that question I already knew. Mamañ had acted as expected.“Henry Benoit,” she sighed sadly, “I’ve wronged him in so many ways. Andre tried to kill him once, or twice…” Our eyes met briefly moment, and I could tell from her expression that it was more than that. “Only the truth mamañ.”Mamañ bowed her head in regret, memories flooding back.“Rosé, Andre tried to harm him so many times that Benoit got a restraining order against him.”“But he didn’t stop, did he?”Mamañ shook her head sadly, her tears welling up.“He didn’t, he tried every means possible.”“Why didn’t he just arrest him?” Navy’s voice boomed into the air, shifting our attention to his tall figure emerging from the hallway.“I put her back to bed,” he explained, planting a peck on my cheek as he joined the

As I stayed in his arms, breathing in his faint fragrance and warmth until a soft coo of a baby interrupted the silence.“It’s Amelia!” Navy gasped, excitement bubbling in his voice.“Wait, you called her Amelia?” I exclaimed, surprised. “Well, I figured she could have two names.”A soft chuckle escaped my lips as I stepped out of his arms. “I’d love that…”Navy nodded, cupping my face in his hands. “I’ll take care of her, you go to the dining.”Taking a deep breath, I made my way back to the dining room, where mamañ and Grace were still seated, their conversation paused as I stepped in. Grace’s appearance was nothing like mamañ’s, and the more I studied her features, I was more convinced that she wasn’t Andre’s daughter.“Mamañ, Grace,” I began, my voice steady, despite the turmoil within, “let’s talk,”Mamañ raised her gaze to me, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.“Where have you been?” I asked, my voice demanding nothing but the truth.“Here and there…” Mamañ replied, dartin
