2024-10-29 19:42:56The rest of the week zoomed off with great speed and soon, it was weekend. As usual, Rosie visited home.
She was seated comfortably on the sofa, laughing loudly on the phone with Gregory, when her mother, who was getting ready for an event, stepped in. "I'll call you back Greg." She told him and hung up. "Who do you always talk to on the phone? You spend most of your weekends on that phone. And once you see me walk in, you end the call. Are you dating a secret service agent?" "Secret what.." She laughed. "Come on Mrs. Bainer, there's nothing like that. I was speaking to a friend Ma." "Owen?" She asked. "Hell no! Owen and I are over. We're done." She replied. "Hmmm. Keep hiding this new man that you call your friend, I'll meet him someday." "I'm not hiding anybody, Mommy." She stated. "If you say so. I'm off to Aunt Bella's party. Ensure you get ready early and dress appropriately too for yourRelated chapters

"You are amazing. Your confidence is second to none. I'm impressed Miss Bainer. funny as it may seem, I once had a friend that bears Bainer. I'd always thought the name was strange but seeing someone else with the name, I guess it's safe to say that it's a common name now." He said. "Miss Bainer, I heard everything you said. You and your Boss should get to work. Let's see how much time it will take to achieve this, and Bernard, I'll speak to Mr. Dennis tomorrow. I'll need to see both of you by Monday. After that, we'll call for a board meeting to deliberate on this. Remember to notify Brass once the board meeting is concluded on a positive note. Let's get it moving. We need fast and very neat work." He said, casting his gaze from Rosie to Bernard and finally settling on Rosie. "Are we all together on this?" "Sure," Bernard replied. "Yes sir," Rosie added. "Let's order food then!" He said signaling to the waiter who took all their or

The following morning came with renewed strength for Rosie. She awoke to a beautiful text from Gregory, who was worried sick about her since she hadn't picked up his calls the previous night. She immediately placed a call to him, and they talked at length. A knock came on the door just as she dropped the call. "Come in." She called. Annie peeped into her room before shoving the rest of her body in. "I was checking to be sure it is safe to come in." She grinned "Can I sit?" "Please sit down!" Rosie snarled. "I thought Gregory sent a car over to pick you up yesterday." She started. "He wanted to, but I told him not to worry. How was your day yesterday? Was Raymond able to make it down to see you when I left?" Annie nodded. "He did, but briefly. He got a call from his father. Something about an investment in an app or so. I'm not so good at listening nor understanding his business jargon." "Well, my siste

"Hmmm, she's so smart. Serious with her job even though she knows she can just sit at home all day and you take care of her bills. And she works hard for her money. Gregory, how on earth did you score this girl? Teach me, I want to learn, before loneliness deals mercilessly with me." "I thought you said you weren't lonely?" "You know my solution to loneliness is only temporary," Max said. Gregory laughed. "Max, stop, please. You're killing me." "Well, hopefully, you'll give me tips one day. But while we're waiting for that, I think I should make my proposition first. I'd like to hear her reply. How soon can we start working on these features?" Max enquired. "I'm ready when you are. You have to let me know when you're all set, financially." Gregory said. "Alright, let me just put some things together. I'll let you know." Max stared at Gregory for a while before he decided to say what was o

"I'd love to visit again, with you," Rosie said boldly. Gregory's smile widened, and his dimples deepened. "I'll take you there." He told her. "Let me know when you're ready to visit so that I can book a reservation for us." "Oh Greg, today is so beautiful. I can't remember the last time I was pampered like this." she walked over to his seat and hugged him from behind his seat. He lifted her hand close to his lips and kissed her fingers. "Why... you're a beautiful woman Angel. You deserve to be pampered, always." he stroked her arm. They remained like that for a while before Rosie released her hold and moved over to face him. She whispered the words he hadn't been expecting. "Can I kiss you, Greg?" Gregory pulled her to his lap and captured her lips in a sensual kiss like his life depended on it. The band stopped playing and filed out, followed by the security who locked the entrance door behind him. "Thank you for being my biggest cheerleader. I feel like I'm in bloo
Loved By A Real Man Speak No Evil Of The Dead
Owen was seated comfortably on one of their sitting room sofas. Rosie's mood automatically changed. She looked around and saw her mother seated in the dining section while Annie sat beside the short stairs that led to the kitchen. The air in the room was completely tense, and she didn't need to be told that Owen was not welcome. "Hi, Rose." Owen greeted, standing up immediately when he saw her. "What are you doing in my house?" She asked, ignoring his greeting. "Good evening Mom, Annie." She greeted her family and they responded. Evelyn Bainer pretended she was focused on her phone while Annie had her eyes on her sister and uninvited visitor. "I... I came to see you." He stuttered. "You must be raving mad to think that you can walk into my home whenever you care to and say rubbish after insulting me and my family. Are you that stupid?" She asked in annoyance. Owen stared at Rosie, alarmed at her choice of words and her sophisticated appearance. He'd never seen her look n

"Angelina!!" He exclaimed. "Do not speak of your mother in such a manner ever again. Do you understand?" He warned sternly. When she didn't offer a reply, he asked again. "I need to know that you understand what I just said, Angie.""I understand." She grumbled. A few seconds of tense silence passed. Then she broke the silence by asking about Rosie in a much better tone, changing the topic. "How's Roseline?" Gregory sighed. "She's fine." He drew her to an embrace. "Your mother was human and no matter what she did, she deserves our forgiveness.""You love her? I'm not talking about the dead. I'm asking about Roseline. Do you love her?" She asked, shifting the topic back to Rosie. "I see the way you look at her, the way your mood lightens up when her name is mentioned, and the way you smile when you see her. Does she feel the same way about you?" "Hopefully, she'll get there soon. I'm working hard to make sure of that." He replied, creating a smile on Angelina's
Loved By A Real Man Bernard's Disturbing Disclosure
"Clean this mess up," Kathrine told one of the armed men in the building. "Trace the name and numbers she gave us. I would love to meet them all." She said.Angie quickly rushed back to the car. She met Rufus already coming to find her. They went back to the car and were fast enough to get comfortably seated before Kathrine joined them."You took a while before coming back, Mommy," Angie told her mother immediately after she got into the car."Drive now." She told Rufus then turned over to Angelina. "I had a little issue that needed my attention. But I'm here now, what do you want? Would you like candy sticks?" She asked, touching Angie gently on the cheeks. Angie shook her head. "No, I just want to go home.""Me too Baby. Look," she posted at one of Angelina's favorite signs. "That's proof, we're almost home."Angie nodded. "When will Daddy return?" She asked, wishing her father was around, as she wanted to share what she saw with him."Soon baby." Her

They arrived at the Eatery after a few minutes' drive. Rosie was helped out of the car by Bernard. She saw the name of the place and chuckled. They were welcomed at the entrance and directed to an empty table. The Eatery was neat, well-furnished, and upscale. A clear statement from Bernard that he knew just how to flaunt his wealth.It was rumored that he was paid as much as his immediate Boss because of his high intellectual capabilities and the fact that he brings a lot to the company. And it is clear as air that Global Link cannot afford to lose a staff such as him. They ordered for food with Bernard settling for Spaghetti and Rosie for wheat swallow and seafood okra."Mushroom," Rosie said adjusting in her seat. "Who gives their restaurant such a funny name." She laughed heartily."I had the same reaction the first day I visited. I couldn't hold back my surprise." Bernard responded. "But, do not let the name deceive you. They are very good. I must say that

Loved By A Real Man Will You Marry Me Again
Rosie hesitated for a moment before slipping her finger under the flap and pulling out the contents. Her eyes widened with curiosity as she saw a stack of neatly typed pages. As she began to read through them, her breath caught, shock, surprise registered on her face immediately. The papers were house ownership documents for the lake house Gregory rented for her birthday celebration. The same lake house they were in, when he had asked her to marry him. But what shocked her the most was that her name was listed as the new owner of the property. With trembling hands, she looked up at Gregory, unable to believe what the document was implying. “Greg, what… What is this? You bought the house?” Gregory shrugged casually, as if it were no big deal. “You said you liked the house, so I decided to buy it for you,” he explained. “I realized I hadn’t actually gotten you a proper birthday present yet, so… this is my birthday present,

Mrs. Dee quickly disappeared down the hallway, leaving Rosie to soak in the comforting familiarity of the space.Moments later, Gregory appeared at the hallway entrance, surprise and delightful joy spread across his face. He looked at Rosie, and for a moment, they just stared at each other, relishing in the joy of her visit. Then, with a few quick strides, he crossed the room and pulled her into a tight bear hug, lifting her off the ground slightly. Rosie giggled cutely as she spun her slightly.“I can’t believe you’re here,” he murmured into her hair before pulling back just enough to capture her lips in a deep kiss.Mrs. Dee, who had been watching from the hallway, glowed with joy and she did a little happy dance. Sensing that it was time to give them some privacy, she quietly slipped away, leaving the couple to themselves.The kiss between them started slow, as they locked their lips, but then, it gently escalated into something more passionate, demandin
Loved By A Real Man Back To Each Other
Owen laughed, letting out a harsh, unremorseful sound. “Always acting like the useless clueless saint, always." He spat out. "You had it coming, though. Do you think you can just toss me aside, mess up my career, join a rival firm, cart away most of my clients, and everything will be fine? You deserve everything that happened to you, do you fuckin hear me?” He banged his hands on the table between them and became immediately calm when the policemen in the room rushed at him.Hearing his painful, venomous words, Rosie lost every hope she had of hearing or seeing him sound or act remorseful. It dawned on her that he didn't regret any of the things he did. Unshed tears burned her eyes, but she refused to let him see her cry. “You’re a bitter, selfish, and wicked man,” she spat at him, her voice very steady and clear. “I hope you rot in hell for what you did.” Owen started laughing mockingly, still seated, held down by the police. Without waiting for a response, Rosie turn

As soon as Gregory and Angie left, Rosie turned to her mother, "Well?" she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity.Evelyn took a seat, looking at her warmly. "I always want your happiness, Baby," she began. "Gregory is a good man, he's proven that. And he loves you. It's also very clear that he makes you happy as well. You two would make a good couple. I've gotten past the bad blood between us, and you should do the same."Annie chimed in, "I think someone is going to get back her engagement ring pretty soon because you don't even have a choice. Not with how smitten you look.""You think?" Rosie blushed."I know," Annie replied.Rosie took a deep breath, then confessed, "You are right. I love Gregory Johnson so much that I don't think I could survive perfectly without him. I love the way he loves me."Everyone in the room smiled, feeling the warmth and love shared between them. They all came together for a family hug, embracing the second chance at happiness
Loved By A Real Man Acceptance
A few days after being rescued from her kidnappers, Gregory and his daughter, Angelina brought Rosie home from the hospital, where she spent several days in recovery. Annie let them into the living room and went to inform her mother of their arrival. Evelyn, who was busy in the kitchen, making dinner, hurried out to the living room to welcome her daughter home.Pulling Rosie in a hug, all smiles, she held her a little longer. Annie offered Gregory and his daughter a seat and they settled into two of the empty sofas in the room."Thank you so much," Evelyn said to Gregory when she finally released Rosie. "Thank you for everything." She added."You know I'll do even more," he replied with a smile. Then he turned to Rosie, who was now settling in her seat. "I thought about taking her home to care for her myself, but I figured it was best to bring you home to family first."Annie smiled warmly. "Thanks for being so thoughtful," she said sarcastically. Everyone laug
Loved By A Real Man Rescue
Disguised as farmers, local traders and fishermen, the police infiltrated the community close to the location where Rosie had been held hostage the night before. Kick-starting an undercover mission.The next morning, their rescue mission commenced. Dressed in rags, a couple of police officers scaled the poorly built fence surrounding the isolated building and quietly entered the compound with cautious and well-calculated movements.As they combed through the house, they found no one else inside. Exposing their trousers, two out of the officers present pulled out their guns with silencers already in place. They followed the signal from Rosie's wristwatch, and it led them to a room with two packed boxes and a mask. A purse was emptied on the bed, and its contents exposed some cash, two debit cards and Rosie's wristwatch. But, there was no sign of Rosie. Their eyes quickly fell on a door at the end of the corridor. Weapons pointed at the door; they approached it
Loved By A Real Man Whatever It Takes
As soon as he ended the call, Gregory put his Bank account officer on speed dial. Without waiting for confirmation, he just knew that the location would lead him to Rosie's kidnappers.So there was no time for sentiments. He needs to start getting things ready, and that would start from his bank. Once his account officer picked up, Gregory barked into the phone. “Damon." He called, "I need $350,000 arranged immediately,” he barked, his voice leaving no room for negotiation. He had already decided it's either try the option of giving the abductors their request and hoping that Rosie would be released to him, safe or involve some of his trusted friends in the force and have them ensure Rosie's safety while he went ahead to give in to the abductors request.Damon agreed, “That can be arranged, sir." He said. "But, I’ll need you to come to the Bank in person. There are certain procedures involved that would require your signature.” He insisted.Gregory’s frustratio
Loved By A Real Man Head-Way
He immediately turned and hurried out of the room with his mind still making several calculations on the next few steps to take. He had to save Rosie, no matter what it took. And in this case, all they want is money, which he has and is willing to offer. However, he wasn't certain about her life. If he were to provide the needed money, would she live, or would she still end up dead? That was a question he had no answer to.As the call to Gregory ended, the scar-faced guy left the room, murmuring inaudibly. Then, the masked one, among her abductors, entered the room.His mask concealed his face completely, leaving only little holes for his eyes, nose, mouth and ears. And when he asked her a question, "Are you hungry?" There was something about his voice that sent chills down her spine. It was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite place it. She swallowed hard, trying to convince herself that it was just her mind playing tricks on her. But the more she thought ab

"If the location shows the wristwatch is here, or at the apartment she shares with her flatmate, then we'll be sure that she didn’t go out with it. But if it points to somewhere else… then we might have to check the location out." Gregory replied. The room fell into absolute silence. They were all on edge, silently praying and hoping that the wristwatch’s location would give them a clue to Rosie's current location. Evelyn, who had been quiet for most of the time, spoke again. “She has to be okay...” her voice trembled. Gregory nodded, forcing a positive smile, but the fear in his eyes betrayed his attempt to push a positive message. They were all thinking the same thing, even if they didn’t say it out loud. Everybody knew without being told that something was terribly wrong. As they waited for the tracking information, Annie and Gregory continued trying Rosie's number, while Evelyn, who was terrified to her bones, sat down and started whisper
