Leaving Kendrick behind, Rosy walked in and stood in front of everyone. They had entered the living room already with Mr. Wright, out of sight."I will plead with every one of you to kindly leave else, I will be forced to call the police," Rosy announced."We came because of you, but you weren't the one we followed into the house, so you have no right to tell us to leave." Mr. Sam said."She has every right, Mr. Sam, it's her house." Mr. Martin said."Whatever you say. We are here now and we can't leave. Let's just check what we came here for and leave." Mr. Clinton said."No one of you is seeing my bar, not when I am here." Rosy thundered."Should we then go back after clearing our busy schedule just to be here?" Mr. Sam asked."I don't care what you do from here, but I stand on my words. No one is seeing my bar." Rosy said with finality in her speech.While Rosy was addressing everyone, her eyes were moving around, looking for Mr. Wright. He disappeared as soon as they entered."Let
While they left her in the living room and rushed to the bar corner, where Mr. Wright's voice came from, Rosy could feel her palm becoming sweaty, and her head began to bang. She couldn't imagine the look of disappointment everyone would have on their faces when they opened the doors to the wine cabinet to find it empty.She wished she could disappear into tiny air or return the hand of time to before the meeting. She would have righted all her wrongs. She didn't have a good reason for not having wines at home.Kendrick barely takes wine also her. She prefers coffee or tea to wine, and she tastes wines only when she is functioning as the Chairman of ATU. That is why Mahon always does the wine tasting on her behalf."Huh...""Wow.""This is shocking.""Amazing.""I wasn't expecting this."These were the exclamation and words Rosy heard from where she stood, which got her confused about what they saw. She forced herself to move her legs, heading to the bar corner.She wondered why there
The reporters refused to leave after Mr. Wright told them to go get the answer themselves. For every ATU member that walked out of the house, they surrounded him, asking him questions.Rosy came outside, and it didn't take seconds before they surrounded her."Chairman, why are the other members leaving quietly? Do you not have wines at home.""Chairman, how do you feel having the members of the body in your house?""Chairman Rosy, do you mind telling us what happened in there?""Yes, please. The expression of the members can't be read, and Mr. Wright, who brought it up to the media, left quietly."A lot of questions were flying in the air as the reporters wanted answers to their questions. Rosy looked at the reporter who had addressed her as Chairman Rosy and signaled to her to come forward."First, the allegation against me by Mr. Wright isn't true because inside my house is a collection of expensive wines, and most of them are made on request for only VVIP customers by the companies
"It's too late to plead, Mr. Madavaski, my mind is made up," Rosy said with a smirk."Please, Rosy." Kendrick pleaded."You should know what to do after making a mistake. You brought them in, if you didn't know Mr. Wright's plan, why didn't you ask them to leave after you realized Mr. Wright tricked you?" Rosy asked."I was confused and all I could think of was your forgiveness, believe me." Kendrick defended."It's late now anyways. Since you don't want to give me the divorce papers and with what happened today which shows how unsafe I am, I will kindly leave. You can stay alone with your mistress." Rosy informed him of her decision.Rosy walked to the wardrobe and packed a few of her things, but Kendrick stopped her while she was about to leave."What will happen to me when you leave?" Kendrick asked."That's your business, since you didn't care about me, then why should I care about you?""I care about you, I am sorry.""Kendrick, every time you keep saying sorry. You cheated on me
A message entered Rosy's phone as her phone vibrated inside her bag. She brought the phone out of the bag and clicked the message open."How do you find my surprise, big sister." The message reads.Rosy's mouth parted ways immediately, and for more than three minutes, she was like that, staring at the message she just read through the phone in her hand.When she finally got over the shock to find out that the surprise wine on the wine cabinet in her bar was from Ronald, she called him while dragging her things out of the room.Kendrick, who stood behind her all this while, had thought she would remain after what she saw on her phone, but when she began to move her things outside again, he lost all hope of Rosy coming back.Rosy got to the bar corner and opened the cabinet to check the wines out. She remembered Mr. Clinton said the wine was not from Oxagon wine firms. True to what Mr. Clinton had said earlier none was made in Oxagon.Ronald answered the call, and Rosy quietly returned
"Oh, that?" Ronald chuckled. "Regarding that, it wasn't easy.""I would love to hear it," Rosy said."You know, you never allowed me to go to your house before the accident, and your husband doesn't know you have a brother, so if I go to your house claiming I am your brother, your staff will call you to confirm."FLASHBACK"Aiden, how should we deliver this to Rosy without alerting her?" Ronald asked after thinking for a long time with no idea in mind."I didn't think of that earlier. Can't you? You are her brother."They were in Ronald's hospital room that same day. After Aiden made the calls, his PA guaranteed him the wines would be coming the next day as he would use the influence of the Wood family to get them.It was getting late already, so the ATU members would not visit Rosy that day and the next day would be Ronald's discharge day from the hospital."Aiden, her husband doesn't know Rosy has a family, not even a brother. Rosy never allowed me to go to her house because she was
Rosy left Ronald and Aiden in the living room while she went to see Lyon in his room. Unfortunately, Lyon was asleep, so she decided to see Clara instead of returning to the living room.Besides, she hasn't informed Clara of her stay. Even if Clara wasn't married to Ronald yet, she still sees it necessary to inform her. While walking around looking for Clara's room, she heard someone crying.Rosy walked closer to the door and pinned her ears on it. After listening for some time, she could tell it was Clara, and without knocking, she badged into the room.Clara was sitting on the floor, her legs raised, and her head buried in between, so when Rosy entered, she didn't raise her head. Rather, she stopped crying. Rosy looked to the left and saw her things.She shut the door behind her and quietly walked to Clara. Rosy sat beside her on the floor and then wrapped her hands around her, and Clara gave a loud outburst again."Clara, it's okay. Calm down, I am here." Rosy said, patting her gen
After Ronald had answered the call telling Kendrick not to call Rosy again, Rosy got angry. She hated the fact that Ronald spoke rudely to Kendrick, and that pissed her off.In anger, she rushed to him and punched him in the face. She was totally out of control. Rosy had never laid her hands on Ronald, but this time, he had passed his limit, and she wouldn't take it lightly with him.To Rosy, he could have just said she was fine, not warning him not to call her again. She grabbed the phone from his hand, and when she looked at the screen, Ronald had ended the call already.She had already clenched her fist into a ball and was about to give Ronald another punch when Aiden stopped her quickly, holding her hands in the air."Please calm down, Rosy," Aiden said while Clara ran to Ronald and dragged him to sit down."What exactly is wrong with you?" Rosy yelled, referring to Ronald. "Why did you tell him not to call me again? That's my husband you are speaking with rudely." Rosy added."I

“Wifey, we need to talk when I get back tonight, please stay awake.” Rosy had read the text Kendrick sent to her.Her heart clenched as those exact words brought back memories of the past. She began to panic unlike in the past when she was relaxed.It was the same words Kendrick had texted her back then and when he returned, he informed her about Cassandra carrying his child.“Could history be repeating itself?” Rosy asked herself.The babies began to cry and she quickly attended to them. They soon stopped crying and slept off quietly. She stood beside their bed watching them as they slept.For her, she has achieved a lot but the babies sleeping in front of her were her greatest achievement and she doesn't regret keeping them.The babies were already five months, and it hadn't been easy for her but she had told herself she was going to enjoy every bit of the process and be so involved in their growth.“Maam, do you need anything?” The house help specifically assigned to assist her tak
It was Lyon’s birthday, everyone had been preparing for it because the last few weeks had been very peaceful just like the Browns had always wanted and dreamt of.Every board member has begun to act right. Those who supported Mr. Wright then and were involved in some illegal dealings have gone to Ronald to apologize.Everything was more than normal and Rosy and Ronald loved it. After giving the company to Kendrick, Rosy has spent more time at home and she was always being visited by Clara and Emma.Emma has been out of Oxagon City but when Rosy informed her about her delivery date, she rushed down. She had told Kendrick and Ronald that she was going to be the godmother and no one dared to argue with her.A specific date was not given to Rosy so she was just expecting it to be any day while she prepared her body. Lyon on the other hand has always asked her why she was always looking tired but she continuously told him she was preparing a surprise for him.“Aunt Rosy, Why are you always
Rosy opened her eyes gently and saw Kendrick staring at her. He had been up but was enjoying the view. Rosy hadn’t rested well since everything began and finally, she had slept well and Kendrick couldn’t stop watching her.“Why are you staring at me?” Rosy asked.“You are my wife so I can stare at you as long as I want. You look very beautiful when you sleep by the way.” Kendrick said.“Thank you. Why are you up this early?” Rosy asked.“You have forgotten so soon? Dr. Fred asked us to come see the baby today.” Kendrick reminded her happily.“What baby” Rosy joined her brows together, confused.“Wifey, you are pregnant, have you forgotten?” Kendrick said.Rosy sat up and then touched her stomach, “I thought I had given birth. Argh, it was just a dream.” She groaned tiredly.“You then forget because you do not have a protruding tummy and I love that. Can’t wait to see the surprises on the faces of everyone when they find out you have given birth.” Kendrick said.“They sure will be surp
“How do you feel about yourself now?” Psychologist Hope asked Cassandra.“Better than when I was brought into the hospital,” Cassandra replied.“Your urges for sex?” She asked.“I can control it now. I didn’t fall for Mr. Wright when he came that last time, I even had the mind to tell him to walk out. I was surprised I could do that.” Cassandra explained happily.“What about what he did to you?”“I have forgiven him. He did that because of his selfish reasons and I just hope he gets to meet a psychologist like you to help him too.” Cassandra answered.Psychologist Hope signed and said, “I am very glad you have healed from everything he has done to you and everything you have gone through. Today is your last session and I will continue to be in touch with you.”“Don’t forget Cassandra, I will always be here to help you when you need help.” Psychologist Hope said.“I won’t, thank you,” Cassandra said as they hugged.Max had carried the baby and they were both waiting for her out. It was
“It’s the biggest fashion show in Oxagon City and there are a lot of models here, including popular and up-and-coming. How do you feel meeting a lot of models today?” The lady hosting the red carpet asked Clara who was still hiding her identity.“I am so happy right now. This is my first time attending this fashion show because the last time I was supposed to come, something happened and I couldn’t but I am so happy to be here today.” She said.“That's so great to hear. You know, you came into the limelight a few months ago and you have gotten a lot of fans now and like we all know, there would be awards to be given today, if I may ask, what category do you think you would be nominated in?” The host asked.“Well, I don’t know as that is left for the judges and my fans to decide,” Clara answered.“Oh, that's an answer I didn’t expect. So the last one, who introduced you to modelling?” The host asked.“If I can clearly remember, no one did. I have loved models and always watched them si
It has been weeks after Mr. Wright was arrested and the investigation is still going on the issue has been taken to court as more things in which Mr. Wright was involved and was exposed including those Rosy and Ronald didn’t know about. Everything started when the police had put it on the news and Mr. Wright was recorded. Javier’s mom and a few other people he had forcefully collected their lands came. “We want our properties first before he would go to prison.” They had continuously echoed outside the police station. When the police couldn’t take it anymore and the President was so angry about them just finding out, he ordered that Mr. Wright give them their properties. He had refused at first but then his lawyer informed him of the effect of what he was doing and the situation he was in already. The properties were returned peacefully and after that day, Mr. Wright was tagged the country's bad man because the crimes he was being sued for were much. Day in and day out, he goes to
“Everything I planned failed, why?”Mr. Wright was at his house inside his room. He has gotten to the height of everything and has been wondering why all of his plans failed. After he left the Brown Mansion, he got information that Madam Kate was at Oxagon Hospital.Still angry at what she did to him by not giving him the box Reggie gave to her, he matched there under pretence. The nurses who only knew him to be a staff of R.B. and Madam Kate who once worked for the Brown family allowed him in.They had thought he must have come to see her just like Rosy and Ronald. Madam Kate was the only one in the ward and she had just finished eating when he got there. As soon as Madam Kate saw him, she began to scream.“What do you want from me? Why are you here? How did you find me.” Madam Kate yelled.“I didn’t come for anything, I only came to see how you were doing since it’s been a long time since we saw each other.” Mr. Wright said.“Get out of this hospital, we were never friends from the
“I am sorry Ronald, but Mr. Wright has been after me all these while and I had to go into hiding.” Elias dropped to the floor crying. “I don’t know how he got to find out about you getting to me but I am not surprised he did.” He wiped his tears and looked at Ronald.Elias touched Ronald all over his body and asked, “How have you been and how did you survive? I saw on the news that you were involved in an accident and were in a coma. I could tell it has something to do with Mr. Wright.” Elias said.“I am fine. I survived it even when Mr. Wright tried to end my life, I still survived and since then, it has been from one battle to another with him.” Ronald informed him.“Mr. Wright had been after me since your accident and for a while, I didn’t see his men around till recently when I began to notice I was being followed. Are they working with you?” Elias pointed to the door referring to Oswald and Javier.Ronald nodded, “Yes. I instructed them to find you and bring you here because I ne
