When Rosy saw Lyon it was as if she was seeing Ronald again when he was a child. Lyon took every tiny feature of Ronald which got her interested in hearing whatever Clara had to say. She was crying because Ronald's son was suffering the same thing they went through as kids, being looked after by a single parent all because of Mr. Wright. She was happy because Ronald actually had a son and she has a nephew after all. She pulled Lyon to herself and gave me a tight hug. When she finally disengaged from the hug, she asked Clara, “Why didn't you try to reach out somehow? You have a phone, you could at least reach out.” She questioned Clara sadly. “Mr. Wright threatened to kill anyone I contacted and…” pointing at Lyon, “him too. I can't bear to see that happen. He has men watching me but I don't know them.” She continued, “He knows my every move and.. and.. right now, I am scared he will come for you and me too when he finds out,” she cried out. Javier turned to Rosy to confirm
“Poor kids, they have no mother to look after them.” a woman said, referring to young Rosy and Ronald. “Rosy, they are mocking me. My friends kept asking when my mom would come back. I am the only one without a mom among my friends,” Ronald complained to Rosy. “Rosy, my friends at school said mom never loved dad, that was why she gave birth to me and left,” Ronald complained. “Rosy, do you think I can love truly when I grow up?” Ronald asked. “Why did you say that?” Rosy inquired. “Because I never got to experience a mother's love, I am scared,” Ronald reported frightened. “Ronald has just been involved in an accident. You need to be here immediately,” the caller said to Rosy. Rosy was dreaming about the things that happened in the past, what she went through with Ronald as a child, and even when they grew up, and how she was informed about Ronald's accident. How she got to the accident scene and met the unconscious body of Ronald before the hospital came in to take him. Tears
After Dr. Fred ended the call, she continued with the cleaning of Ronald's body. “Ronald, I wish you could wake up right now. A lot has happened and I am the only one going through it without any support.” She wiped the tears that fell from her eyes. “Mr. Wright is doing more harm than before. Is not easy fighting him and everyone alone. I am involved in so many things at the same time that I feel I will pass out soon. Ronald, I am tired.” Rosy complained to Ronald who was lying calmly on the bed. “I am scared. I am scared that I will lose you, lose Dad's hard work, and lose everything Dad ever worked for. Ronald, please get up, you have stayed too long, please, Ronald, please.” Rosy cried pleading with Ronald to wake up. She spent a few more minutes crying, giving Ronald reasons why he needed to wake up. The nurse in charge of cleaning Ronald up soon came in to ask if she needed anything. Rosy quickly wiped her eyes with her hand, collected her handkerchief, and dried her eyes ver
It's been a few days since she gave Dr. Fred the hair to do the DNA test and also requested Kendrick to get her a house. She had no intentions of moving out, but the house was to be given to Clara and Lyon if the result proves that Clara was telling the truth. Javier had been giving her feedback about Clara and Mahon about Mr. Wright. Oswald, who was assigned to watch Cassandra, said she hadn't made any funny move, not even seeing Mr. Wright. For a few days, she had taken time to rest and get back to work. Since her request, Kendrick hasn't bothered her because she told him clearly that she won't speak with him unless he presents the house to her. She was at her office making a wristwatch design. Thinking about her unborn child, she wanted to make a family wristwatch collection, she had a sketch for the father and the mother, but she was having difficulties with that of the child. She told Jane to get her a cup of coffee while she stayed away for some time. Jane came back with two
Mahon sat behind the wheel, and he drove quickly. Rosy kept checking Lyons pulse while Clara was in a praying mood, her hands were joined together. When she finally looked at Lyon, who was on Rosy's lap, Rosy used the opportunity to ask her some questions about Lyon's health. “Has this ever happened?” Rosy asked. “No. This is the first time he is experiencing this,” she sniffed. “Did he ever make any complaints to you about his health?” Rosy asked further. “I am aware of the persistent cough and diarrhea, most times, he complains about having difficulty breathing and abdominal pain,” Clara explained, her face full of tears. “What did you do about it?” Rosy inquired. “I managed the visible symptoms in the best way I could, and I have been saving up so he can see a doctor. I didn't expect it to get to this extent.” Clara wailed. “He will be fine.” Rosy encouraged her while she continued praying. Rosy had called Dr. Fred about the emergency, and the nurses had prepared a gurney w
“When Rosy left Dr. Fred's office with Clara, she didn't know what to do. Her Dad had told her he went through the surgery thrice. When he was a kid, as a teenager and when he was an adult which she Rosy was aware of because she was beside him all through the process. They got to Lyon's room and he was still asleep, she felt sorry that he would be going through surgery at a young age. She wondered how many more times he will go through it if this one is done. Clara walked closer to his bed. She carried his hand and held it softly as she let the tears in her eyes fall. Rosy felt pity for Clara. It must be really difficult for her to hear that her son was suffering from that. What if she wasn't with them when Lyon collapsed, how would she have been able to deal with the situation alone, especially when it had never happened before. Maybe it wouldn't have gotten to this extent if Lyon was close by. She would have been aware of it maybe at his birth because they have qualified doctors
“Thank you to every member of this body for granting me the privilege to stand in your midst today and make a complaint about your Chairman.” Mr. Wright started. “Cut off the pleasantries, we don't need it. Now go straight to the point.” The ever-inpatient and straight-faced Mr. Kyle spoke making Mr. Wright mute for a minute. Every member of the body gives Mr. Kyle his respect because he commands it with his actions and words. Rosy saw Mr. Piper giving Mr. Wright a signal to make it snappy. Of course, Mr. Kyle had spoken, it was a sign that he didn't have all day to spend with them. One of the members coughed and Mr. Kyle gave him a cold stare. Mr. Wright gulped when he saw Mr. Kyle's reaction and went straight to the point. “I met the chairman some time ago and she agreed to give her signature approval to a new wine company that belongs to Ruserick but up till now, I haven't gotten any response from her.” Mr. Wright reported. “Any other complaints?” Mr. Piper asked. “Uhm… No. Ah
The sight of Lyon pleading to see his father, a father he has every right to know, hurt Rosy. She thought she had gone through it with Ronald so their kids won't. She still wishes her mom would come back one day. Even if she knew she wouldn't forgive her at least she could see her face and see what she looked like at present. Her heart ached as Lyon continued to beg her, and when she couldn't take it anymore, she told him it was fine. Lyon exclaimed happily, his both hands raised and suspended in the air by him. “Thank you, Aunt Rosy,” Lyon shouted. The gurney was still in his nose, so it was difficult for him to express his happiness through actions. “You don't have to thank me, Lyon. I am your aunt, I am expected to always help you when you need help as your second mom, and believe me, Lyon, I will do anything just to see you happy.” Rosy said. Lyon stretched his hand to Rosy, and he gestured for her to come closer. Rosy understood what he meant and sat on the bed, and Lyon car
“You don’t have to stay with me. You also need to rest before you begin work again now that Ronald is back. I can speak to him on your behalf.” Aiden told Jane as they got ready to leave the hospital.Jane and Aiden had spent the last few days at the hospital just as Dr. Fred had said, and Jane was so very happy spending time with Aiden. Her love for him increased, but she couldn’t dare to tell him because she was shy.Despite all the green flags Jane showed Aiden while they played games and did other stuff together, Aiden didn’t take it to heart because he felt she was just behaving normally around him.He couldn't notice because he barely had female friends besides Rosy, and he had no idea when a girl was showing the green light, but he had heard of it many times. To him, their stay was just a friend trying to help a friend.Dr. Fred had come into his room to give him the good news about him being well enough to leave the hospital. Ronald had called him and promised to come pick him
"Auny Rosy, please don't go, don't leave me, please." Lyon held Rosy's left leg, stopping her from walking.After Rosy announced her return to her home, Lyon had been moody and even cried at some point. Rosy didn't allow him to leave her sight, and he wasn't ready to leave her alone either.Rosy couldn't do anything because Lyon wanted her to marry him, which she had no choice but to do. Lyon slept in her arms, but when she tried to drop him on the bed, he would wake up and begin to cry.Rosy will calm him down, and he will sleep off again. They continued that way till Lyon finally slept deep, and Rosy could then arrange her things before she slept beside him.When it was morning, Rosy quickly got dressed, ready to leave because Lyon waking up would be a disaster. She got to the living room where Clara and Ronald were sadly waiting for her."But you can stay for a few more days, right?" Clara asked tears gathered in her eyes."I would have loved to, but I have been away from home for
“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
“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
"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
"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
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
“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
“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
