Good morning, Wifey, still in bed?” Kendrick asked while on an early morning call with Rosy.Rosy had woken up earlier but had returned to sleep because she didn’t feel like getting up. The previous day was very stressful for her and it seems her body was yet to get the amount of rest it needed.She had slept a little longer after she woke up when Kendrick’s call came in. Rosy groaned when the shrill sound from her phone speaker woke her up. She checked the time because she thought and felt she had not slept for long when Kendrick’s call came in.Immediately she saw the time, she was shocked because after she woke up, she had slept for another three hours before Kendrick called but to her, it felt like she had barely slept. Still feeling sleepy, Rosy answered the call and from the lazy and sleepy sound she was making, Kendrick could tell she was still sleeping.“I woke up earlier but was still too tired to get up, so I slept back,” Rosy explained to Kendrick as she answered his questi
“Chairman, please can I have a word with you? Please.” Mr. Piper requested, almost going down on his knees to plead with Rosy.Rosy rolled her eyes and turned to Mr. Piper who was still pleading. She stared at him for a few minutes and ushered him in without using words and Mr. Piper understood as he followed her into the company.They got to Rosy’s office but Kendrick was there already waiting for Rosy with a table set with different dishes. Rosy offered him a seat in the small space in her office before the main office and went in to meet and speak with Kendrick.“Hey Honey,” Rosy said.“Hello Wifey,” Kendrick responded.Kendrick didn’t realize immediately that Rosy had called him a pet name for the first time in a long time, but after he responded, he realized it, and with a smile on his face and a finger pointed at himself, he asked Rosy.“Wifey, did you just call me honey?”“Yes, I did. Should I take it back?” Rosy asked.“Hell no!” Kendrick almost yelled and continued, “I am jus
“But Mine, that’s unfair. Don’t I deserve special treatment also? My sister had favored you more all through our stay here; did you both plan it?” Ronald asked with a frown on his face.He was angry and jealous of the fact that everything Rosy planned, while they stayed in the resort was for Clara’s happiness and not his. Yes, he was happy because Clara was happy and didn’t take it to heart, but hearing of the special dressing treatment, he was pained.Ronald was still finding it difficult to believe what Rosy had planned. If the planning of their stay was done by someone else, he wouldn’t be angry or sad, although he might be jealous, but Rosy knew all his likes and dislikes but didn’t consider any of them.“Firstly, I didn’t know she had all these in mind, and secondly, I am the newest member of the Brown family. I will be her only sister-in-law, and I also consider her needs too, so she is just treating me right.” Clara said.“I see. Now that you are a member of the Brown family, I
When Rosy had fully rested, she woke up, and to her surprise, she had been sleeping for hours, and it was almost closing time.Kendrick was still there with her, gently stroking her hair and also playing a song that helped her sleep more. After a few minutes of being up and trying to process how she slept for that long, it dawned on her that she hadn't met with any clients.With her sleepy eyes, Rosy turned to Kendrick, who was looking at her while trying to massage his thigh with his hand, and said, "Why did I sleep for this long?""I also don't have any idea why, but all I can say is that you over-stressed yourself yesterday, and the night rest was not enough for your body, and that brings me to telling you again, you should rest more," Kendrick explained and advised."Okay, I will. What about the clients I was supposed to meet?" Rosy asked."About the client," Kendrick said with a small smile on his face and then continued, "They didn't come. Each of them sent a text with one excus
"Hmmm... Finally, back to Oxagon." Clara and Ronald said together after they stepped out of the plane.When they left the resort and were heading to Diavolo airport, they were already missing their experience there, especially the memories they created. Last night after dinner was packed with fun for them.They both ate themselves out till they were tired. The staff and the management of the resort bid them goodbye and also presented a gift to them. They were also taken to the airport by the resort driver and security."I wish we didn't have to leave so soon," Clara said.Ronald walked to her and wrapped his arm around her waist, "We are going back there again, and I promise, we will be spending more days there.""I know you will do that, but I miss Diavolo," Clara said, teary-eyed."Should we go back and then you will forget about being a model?" Ronald threatened although he was only joking.Clara jumped back, her lips slightly apart and her eyeballs almost popping out. "That's a cr
"Aunt Rosy, are you going to work today?” Lyon had entered Rosy’s room to ask her about her activity for the day.“No Champ, you have somewhere in mind you want me to accompany you to?” Rosy asked casually because she wasn’t expecting Lyon to have anywhere to go.“No, I just want to stay with you the whole day and tell you everything that happened while I was with Grandpa, Grandma, and Aunt Grace,” Lyon said looking around to be sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversation.“Lyon, are you serious when you said the whole day?” Rosy asked, her eyes almost popping out, to which Lyon nodded.Rosy had no idea that her little nephew could be a gist partner, but since she knows, then she was going to make good use of it.“You don’t want me to stay with you the whole day? Then I can stay for half a day.” Lyon said, advertising his skills.“Of course, I have missed you so much, and I would really love to enjoy your company for the whole day, but I will be going out later in the day, I h
“I still need an explanation of how you pulled all these with Emma,” Rosy whispered before the waiter got to them.Kendrick laughed when he looked at Rosy, and her brow was arched. They made their orders, and when the waiter left to get it, Kendrick looked at Rosy, and again, she had arched her brow.Kendrick bent his head and chuckled lightly, but when Rosy cleared her throat, which showed she was serious, Kendrick then decided to open up.“I apologize again for not asking you out on this date directly, which is the appropriate way, but then, I wanted it to be a surprise. We have been close for a while now as working partners and as a couple, but I did mess up before, and I don’t want to act as if that never happened because I do not know if you have forgiven me. So please, allow me to ask, have you forgiven me?” Kendrick asked.Kendrick has a lot to unveil, and before he can freely do that, he needs to be very sure that Rosy has forgiven him, else he is wasting his time because what
“Welcome, Aunt Rosy; I miss you.” Lyon, who was the first to see Rosy, welcomed her with a hug.When Rosy left, Lyon had been alone all day as no one played with him. He was tired of speaking with his parrot and had left it inside his room while he stayed in the living room waiting for no one.Ronald and Clara were both resting in their room, and Javier and Oswald were both working on something that was taking a lot of their time because they didn’t come out for breakfast.“Oh my little Champ, how are you?” Rosy hugged him and kissed him on his head.“I am fine but have been alone since you left. Everyone is busy, and no one has time for me.” Lyon complained, looking pitiful.Rosy felt a sharp pain in her heart when Lyon made his complaint. Lyon was just a child but was forced to live the life only an adult could live. No friends, he doesn’t go to school and he doesn’t go out freely to maybe see what the world looks like.“Very soon, Little Champ, you will have a lot of friends that y

“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
