One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Chapter Fifty Eight: Using Caleb.
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

Rosette POV"Are you okay?" Caleb asked, strapping his seat belt on, and I simply nodded because I was far from being okay.I felt suffocated in Caleb's car, and as he started driving, I just wanted to open the car and run away, run back to Damon and sort everything out.The desperation in his voice, as he begged me to listen to him, echoed in my head, stabbing my heart mercilessly.Did I push the whole thing so far? Should I have just listened to whatever he had to say? Probably give him a chance to explain himself?"Yes, I'm alright" I answered softly."You can't believe how happy I am, seeing you here with me, it feels so unreal, I hope you are comfortable" Caleb stated."Yes I am,""I hope you like the movie, I booked for us, do you know when you told me you were coming, I had to send all my friends away, well except Rowland, I just knew you would be okay with him" Caleb added again."Yes, he's actually really nice," I answered again.I hoped Caleb would notice that I wasn't reall

Damon's POVI should do something useful with my life, sulking around and questioning myself over and over again on why Rose chose to ignore me, wasn't going to solve anything for me.I need to start fixing my mess, one after the other, starting with my room which was a complete mess.Normally, Susan would have done it, but she was mad at me, and so to make things better between us, I decided to clean up, it was my way of apologizing to her for everything that happened earlier.I let my issues with Rose affect my relationship, which was so very wrong.I started by putting Susan's things aside, her make-up, jewelleries, files and every important item I came across during my cleaning.After I was done cleaning the room, I moved on to my laundry. It was quite a lot, but thankfully we have a machine and it does the work faster and even better.After I was done with my laundry, I had to go back to my study to go through the minutes of the meeting I had earlier with my foreign letter, befor

Damon's POV."Caleb please let's go" Rose said, turning around, and before I could say anything, Kara stopped her."Rose, where are you going?""What do you mean by where am I going? It's obvious that you are here to see someone else and not me, shouldn't I give you both the privacy that you need?" Rose threw back at her.Wait a minute.He eRose misunderstood the entire situation, why would she think Rose was here to see me and not her?There was nothing between Kara and I but..I threw a look at Rose, who was glaring at all now, and my eyes darted back at Kara, who acted oblivious to our stares."Rose..."I wanted to stop her, and clear out the whole misunderstanding but before that, I needed to clarify something with Kara.The tension between Kara and Rose was so thick and I knew that there was something more than what Kara was saying to me.Something much more."I will wait for you outside Caleb," she spat out and then stormed out of the house again."I'm really sorry about Rose, s

Damon's POV."But she is crying, what happened to her?" Susan quipped, glaring at me.I took a deep breath in, taking a step further towards her and before she could say anything, I wrapped my hands around her waist and then kissed her.I kissed her hard, with every anger and frustration I was feeling within me, but Susan kept resisting me and that I pulled her even closer, as our tongues fought for dominance until Susan shoved me off."What the hell has gotten into you Damon?" She threw at me, panting heavily."What.. I miss you Susan, I hate it whenever we fight, and I'm so sorry" I apologized, cupping her face and Susan threw her face away."Look at me please Susan, I will die if you keep fighting with me, I can't bear it anymore and I want you..." I added, again tracing her jawline with my fingertips."What pictures did you send to Kara?" Susan asked and instantly my hands dropped."I'm talking about us right now Susan, just let everything that has to do with Kara slide" I counter

Rosette POV"I'm going to punish you for being a bad girl, be ready for it."I turned red instantly on reading Damon's message, and when I raised my head to look at him, we exchanged a look, and I knew exactly what he meant by 'Punishment.' I couldn't help but read the message over and over again, as my entire body tenses up, in anticipation of the punishment.That was sick.So sick.I turned off my phone, grabbing a chocolate bar from the basket, and I walked out of the kitchen.Once I got to my room, I decided to shower. It's been a long day, with Caleb and the whole cinema thing, and ok getting home, just to see Kara with Damon.And all the anger and hurt from earlier, returned in full force.I couldn't even stand the sight of them standing so close to each other, and I nearly lost my mind when Damon didn't even try to stop me.Okay, he did. But I didn't listen.As usual.However, Caleb did his thing and made me feel a little bit better before I returned back home, only to see tha
Last Updated : 2024-09-30One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Chapter Sixty Five: Damon's Praises and Frustrations
Rosette's POVOf course I would join Damon in the kitchen, this was our one time opportunity to probably fix whatever is left to be fixed and I wasn't going to trade it for anything, but before that, I needed to stop by my mom's room.When Damon brought up the issue of Diego coming over, with his friend I noticed, mom didn't object nor accept, and so I felt that I should talk to her about it one more time to know if she was still wary about Diego."Hi mom," I said, stepping into her study, her eyes fixed on her computer as her fingers danced endlessly on the keyboard."Rose, you are here?" My mother asked, without taking her eyes off the screen.Typical Susan.Sometimes, I wonder what drives my mom to work so hard, because we aren't poor and if she decides not to work for the next ten years, we will still be able to live comfortably.I guess she was just obsessed with her work, or the idea that she was a workaholic?Does it add to her identity or was it just passion?I might never kn

One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Celebratory Text
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
One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. I'm Yours.
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
One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. It Has To Be Him
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
One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Coming For You
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
One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Fear of the Unknown
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
One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Dancing in the Dark.
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
One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Perfect Daughter.
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
One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Love Confessions; The Final Truth
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."
One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. The Truth-2
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
