Damon's POV"Why did you leave me like that?" Rose questioned me immediately. I entered the car with the bags of burgers in my hand.I was busy inputting my access pin and so I didn't notice when Rose left the cafe, when I turned to call her attention, the booth was empty, and a random waiter notified me that she just left.Seeing Susan's name on Rose's caller display pulled me down from cloud nine to one, it was a subtle reminder, one that hit me so hard.My mood took a different turn and I just needed out.The only reason why I sent Rose a message to meet me here was because I needed her.And space to talk, but we didn't end up talking. Rather, I fingered her until she grew weak in my arms.I had no idea how to show Rose how much she means to me, and how very mine she was.And whatever discussion she has with Kara, I didn't want her to lose her friendship all because of me.After All this wasn't permanent, it was only for one hundred days.While I was getting the burgers from the co
Damon's POV"Y'all left me alone, I was so lonely and bored without you" Susan continued as I led her all the way to our bedroom.It was with great difficulty, I was able to convince her to let go of the burgers and then I put them in the fridge, saving it for tomorrow. I let out a string of curses while Susan kept muttering incoherent sentences until we got to the room, and then I led her straight to the bathroom.I knew she had an important presentation tomorrow, and if she slept this way, it was going to affect her with a terrible hangover and we wouldn't want that.The best way to get rid of alcohol was with cold water and hence I plan to dip Susan in a tub filled with cold water and within hours, I'm sure she will be herself."What are we doing here Damon?" Susan asked, pouting her lips as she stood in front of me."I'm trying to run you a bath," I answered, turning on the tap so it could fill the tub quickly.I had no strength to hold her, if not, I would have just turned the s
Rosette POV Once again, Kara has betrayed me. The pain of her betrayal, mixed with the lies of Damon hit me so hard that I became disgusted with myself. When I found Damon's phone in the backseat, he asked me to help him plug it in, and I did so. Immediately the phone started charging, a notification popped in from Kara. It was a sexy picture of her wearing red lace lingerie which were see-through plus a sexy caption. "I wouldn't mind if it is only for one night." What was the meaning of that caption? and to what extent was their relationship? Throughout the ride back home, I felt like exploding, but I held it all in. I wanted to confront Damon and ask him why he was doing this to us but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. His words replayed in my head, I was only his for one hundred days and after that, he might move on to Kara. That is exactly what will happen after one hundred days, I meant nothing to Damon. The intensity of emotions I felt was doubled and directe
Damon's POV."Damn!" I cursed out loud throwing a punch at the wall, yet I didn't feel an ounce of pain.Just what the hell is going on? Rose has been giving me attitude since last night. I thought it would be better if we all sleep over it, but it seems the matter has gotten even worse than I thought.Where did I go wrong?This was the second time she was walking out on me, and the first time she was extremely rude to me.I was still lost in my thoughts when my phone started ringing, it was my secretary calling.This morning, I woke up with a call from her notifying me of an important meeting with some foreign clients, and I came downstairs to quickly grab some coffee before moving to the study when I saw Rose.And all the events from last night flooded my head.I had planned to check on Rose after my call with Diego but I got trapped listening to Susan and she let out rants about her work. I wanted to tell Susan about the news Diego gave me but I was a bit skeptical about her react
Damon's POV"The fuck Susan, don't you know how to knock?" I fired at her hitting the keyboard to remove the video."The fuck? Is that all you have to say to me Damon?" Susan yelled in response, closing the door behind her.I let out a small sigh, while tucking in my semi hard dick back into my trousers. If Susan had caught me masturbating to a video of her daughter, I was surely done for.Us.Rose and I. "Why are you doing this Damon? You know I'm not comfortable when you do this..." Susan pointed out.Susan hates it whenever I masturbate, and I only do it to relieve myself of tension, especially when I'm flooded with negative pent up emotions.It was the only way I knew to get rid of it. When I raised my head to look at her for the second time, disgust was clearly written all over her face."What exactly?" I threw at her, zipping up my pants while looking away."You know what I'm talking about Damon, don't twist this around, why do you keep doing this?" Susan questioned.I remaine
Rosette's POV.Okay!.Fuck Courage!Why am I literally shivering in front of Caleb's house? It was definitely not as a result of cold because I had a huge winter coat wrapped around me.The reality of what I was about to do and the fact that there was a thin possibility of Damon seeing me, and the whole scenario made me feel agitated and nervous.What if Damon sees me? What is he going to say?I was still lost in my thoughts when the door opened, revealing Caleb with a smile on his face that reached his eyes."You made it!" He announced, his tone laced with excitement that couldn't be hidden."Yes I did" I replied, fidgeting with my dress."Thank you for coming!" Caleb added again and before I could move, he hugged me, taking me by surprise.I had no idea how badly I needed a hug, until Caleb hugged me, his scent overpowering my senses and I accepted it. Until the thought of Damon resurfaced. Immediately, I pulled back awkwardly, it felt so wrong, like I was doing something sinful a
Rosette's POVCaleb stretched out his hand, with my phone, it was still ringing."Take it, don't worry about the wine I will take it to Rowland," Caleb added."No, it's fine, I got it" I said, taking the phone from his hand as I ended the call immediately."Why would you do that?" Caleb questioned, looking at me in a very odd way."Do what?""End the call?""Ohh, well I don't want to talk to Damon right now, he's just going to ruin my mood," I answered, closing the cabinets."What do you mean by that?" Caleb asked again."It's nothing, don't worry about it" I answered, faking a smile for him and then my phone started ringing again."I think you should take it Rose, what if it's something important?" Caleb suggested but I did the opposite, I ended the call and switched it off."Damon is giving me a hard time, that's why I'm here, I just need the space and time to put myself together" I replied trying to walk out, but Caleb stopped me."I don't believe that Rose, please at least you sho
Damon's POV.The last person I expected to walk right into the house, just did.Rosette.My eyes scanned her entire body from head to toe as she wrapped her coat around her even tighter. Her eyes were hovering around."Why are you here?" The words slipped out of my mouth.Which was the wrong thing to say, but I couldn't care less."Definitely not for you" Rose spat out, walking out on me again, but I grabbed her wrist stopping her."Why are you doing this to us Rose? Why are you ignoring me? What have I done to deserve this attitude and your taunts?" I asked her, staring right into her eyes, but Rose couldn't look at me for more than a second."I have more important things to do, let go of me please" she replied instead, with a cold tone.Rose has never spoken to me in that tone.I mean, so cold and detached like she wasn't my Rose.What went so wrong, that now feels impossible to fix?I was still lost in my thoughts when Rose removed her hands from my grip and walked away.I watched
Damon's POVOnce the meeting was over, I rushed back to the last office where Rose was waiting for me, and to my greatest surprise, she was asleep.The last few weeks have been hell for me. Not just me but us. A lot of mental and emotional stress coupled with that emptiness creeping in my heart.My eyes raked all over her body, taking her sleeping figure in as I memorized the image of her, storing it in the deepest part of my heart, so I can never forget.Just because, a part of me knows that she would always remain there.Last night, when we danced, I could see her eyes pleading with me not to end things, but what would be of me if I didn't?A cheat?A mother fucking backstabbing liar?Everything we have done so far was... forbidden and wrong.But then putting an end to it, felt so right.Too right.And so I made up my mind that no matter what happens, once the 100 day mark comes, I will go very far away from her. Before we destroy ourselves.I wanted to make these last moments in o
Rosette POV "I need to tell you something" I said barging into Damon's office."Sir, I tried stopping her but she wouldn't listen and..." His secretary followed behind me.Instead of heading home, I changed my destination and came over to Damon's office.I remembered he told me that he was going to be here today for an important meeting and unfortunately that meeting was going on at the moment.My mouth fell open as my eyes danced around the men, or rather investors sitting around the table in their fancy daper suits."It's okay Jane, I will handle it" Damon said rising from his chair as he adjusted his suit without taking his eyes off me."I'm sorry I had no idea...I thought she was just trying to..." Before I could complete my statement, Damon grabbed my arm, placing a finger on his lips as I went silent."Excuse me gentlemen, I will be right back" He said, pulling me out of the office.Once we were out, I found the courage to speak again, "Damon please, I didn't mean to ruin your
Rosette's POV.Ronan.It has to be him.My hands trembled as I took a step back in fear, my eyes darting around in search of him, but there was no one around other than regular students just like Rowland and I."Rose..Rose are you okay?" Rowland asked placing his hand on my shoulder."Yes" I managed to utter, but I was far from okay, I was suddenly so self aware as I continued looking around."So, what's the answer?" Rowland asked again."Can we leave here?" I countered, putting my phone back into the bag."Emm...is that like a yes?""No...that's like a we should leave now, we need to hurry" I answered grabbing his hands as I started walking fast."Rose..calm down" Rowland called after me but I didn't stop, I kept pulling him and just as we got to the gate he suddenly stopped."Come on Rowland, this is important please..." I said, turning to face him."You know I would go anywhere with you right? But I have a class and I cannot miss it" Rowland stated, taking me by surprise."You have
Rosette POV "Rosee" my name left his lips, he was completely surprised on seeing me there."Hi Rowland" I replied, trying to be as polite as possible, without stopping, the last thing I needed right now was a heated conversation of any sort.Especially not with Rowland.Just as I walked past him, he caught my arm, we were still in the professor's office and so I couldn't react."Please Rose, can we talk?" He asked with a small smile on his face, so that the professor doesn't suspect anything."We have nothing to talk about please" I replied, placing my hand over his as I stylishly removed his hand."You don't have to do this Rose, you know...""Is everything okay Rose? Rowland you can come in, I have been waited for you" the professor interrupted saving me unknowingly."Everything is fine, I will take your leave now" I answered before he could speak up and then I walked out of the office.I sighed, feeling relieved as I walked out of the building, I know avoiding an issue is never th
Rosette's POV After our little romantic dance in the sitting room, Damon and I found ourselves in the kitchen.While I refilled my water bottle, Damon munched on some snacks, there were lots of papers over the counter top, his glasses and his laptop."Can I ask you something?" "Sure""Is everything okay with you? I mean with work and all, you have been way too busy and engaged with it recently so..."Damon sighed, taking a deep breath as he dropped the bowl of chips in his hands, "Actually work is crazy but there's nothing you should be worried about" "Well, it's just that I have never seen you work so hard and you look worried mostly" I pointed out.Damon forced a smile as he walked closer to me, "I will handle everything, and that's enough about me, what are your plans for tomorrow?" He asked, tracing my cheeks with his thumb."Well...I was going to drop by at school, start my registration for the next semester and after that, mom and I are going to the dentist" I answered."Hmm
Rosette POV.I kept tossing on the bed, endlessly, despite everything that has happened, for some reason I still couldn't sleep.I was thoroughly tired, but yet wide awake, the scene with my mom replaying over and over again in my head. Coupled with many others.The holiday was almost over, so was our pact with Damon. We had only two weeks and two days left.And with school resuming that means I will have to face Caleb and Rowland again. I already promised my mom that we are cool as friends, but it was far from it.Throughout the last semester, I spent half of it avoiding Kara. At some point, I avoided Caleb and now I was going to repeat it again?Exhausting.I wondered if he was also thinking about it the way the thought weighed in my mind.A small sigh escaped my lips as I sat up, turning the room lights on as I reached for my water bottle, only to discover that it was empty.A reason to go downstairs.I yawned, throwing my legs off the bed as I slipped my feet into my slippers, bef
Rosette's POV "Hey baby, can I come in?" I heard my mother's voice, after about half an hour since I returned to my room."Yeahhh" I answered, sitting up while adjusting the bed covers.I spent the last thirty minutes trying not to think of whatever transpired downstairs as I busied my hands and mind by cleaning up the entire room.The door opened slightly as my mom walked in, her face dried and her eyes a bit red, a solid evidence of how much she had cried."What are you doing?" She asked, closing the door gently behind her."Nothing, just here" I answered, looking around."Are you hungry, should I heat up something for you?" She asked, sitting at the edge of the bed while smoothing her dress.An awkward tension crept its way into the room as an odd silence hung over us."Why is it always weird between us, I'm your mother I shouldn't be scared of you," My mother started again.A slight chuckle escaped my lips as I tossed a pillow towards her, "Why should you be scared of me? Anyways
Rosette's POV Susan went ahead and told Damon about everything, how she juggled jobs until she came across an offer in a company.On getting there, the CEO developed an interest towards her and then things changed for us.I started getting new toys, gifts and so many new things and the sadness in my mom's eyes was also starting to fade.Soon, she moved me into another proper school and a new house, with attendants. I was starting to have everything well except for her.She was never present.I remember waiting up every night for her to return but ended up sleeping on my nanny's lap.Time passed and by the time I was fifteen, I finally understood everything, the changes, her absence, the price she had to pay to get us comfortable.I watched my mother work her way to the top of her career with Mr Smith beside her. I honestly thought that he was going to end up being my step father, but turns out he was my father's best friend and everything he did for my mom and us? Was for our good."
Susan's POV"I didn't have a choice, he reached out to me, begging and I have been putting him off for years and I just believe after staying in jail for so long that there is a possibility that he might have changed, I don't know..." I tried for months to hide this from Damon while contemplating if I was making the right decision or not.Only for Rose to walk in on me.And now they were both looking at me, like I was some sort of criminal and I hated how it made me feel."That makes no sense Susan, for what reason do you think he wants to be back in Rose's life? What if he wants you back?" Damon questioned."That's ridiculous, I don't have any feelings for Ronan, it's you I love, I love you Damon" I confessed, placing my hands on his chest, while pleading with my eyes."Susan....""I'm a mother Damon, everything I did, I did it as a mother, I only wanted stability in Rose's life, I just...""And what makes you feel like there is no stability in my life mom? I'm very stable, here in
