One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Chapter One Hundred: Downtown Bar.
Rosette's POV "I'm literally so amazing, and I did well. Why won't you let me drive back?" I whined while popping some m&m in my mouth.I never knew driving could be fun and scary at the same time. For the last two hours Damon and I repeated one thing only, I was to move from one point to the other in a straight line, not taking turns or curves.Also, I had to learn how to step on the accelerator and control speed. It was an exhilarating experience and I really enjoyed it, only that it was starting to get dark and Damon had this meeting online with some clients and so we had to return home."You literally handled the steering wheel for a day and now you feel like some pro?" Damon threw back at me."Of course! I learnt from the pro which makes me one, you don't trust me enough" I countered."Are you serious right now? Okay, I will let you drive but I won't come with you, I would rather trek. I mean I love my life and I don't want to die now" Damon replied.My head tilted backwards as

Rosette's POV.Kara was wise enough to pick a more quiet bar, the place wasn't noisy or even crowded, like other bars used to be, as a matter of fact, the setting was quite decent.A few people seated in groups scattered all over the place but the air was mixed with a vibe of unseriousness and a bit of seriousness, causing one to subconsciously relax while being very aware.It's been five minutes since I arrived and yet there was no sign of Kara anywhere, I couldn't reserve a table so I took a seat at the counter side.I brought out my phone to call Kara, when one of the waiters approached me."Good evening Ms, what would you like to drink?"Nothing, just a glass of cold water is enough" I replied, typing away on the phone."Okay."The waiter left only to return two minutes afterwards, with a glass of mimosa and lime."Here you go Ms, I'm sure this will help with your throat" the waiter stated."But I didn't order this" I started as the waiter placed the cold drink in front of me.Ri

Rosette's POV"Diego" Kara muttered."Diego? What happened to Diego? Is he here?" I asked, swiveling in my seat, searching around for Diego."Silly girl, I mean the person I have been texting, the one you want to know is Diego""Diego?""Yes, Diego, Damon's friend, I met him at your house that day," Kara added as she lowered her eyes while looking away.It felt like my brain stilled for a minute, I just couldn't understand what she was saying."Why do you look that way?" Kara asked again."Cause I'm trying to process what you just said and I'm sorry I'm having quite a hard time understanding it" I replied, with a cold tone as my eyes narrowed looking at her."Don't give me that look Rose, he came on me and I only responded to him""What do you even mean by he came on you? I don't understand any of that, tell me clearly what's happening?" I questioned with a frown on my face."Okay, so listen, remember the other day when you came around, I told you I met him in a mall and we exchange

Rosette POV "Something like that" I answered, scratching the back of my neck."Friends are a bit difficult sometimes, right?""Very difficult but we can't do without them right?" I threw back at him."Well I think it's very possible to do without them" Rowland answered, picking you the pair of chopsticks that were supposed to be for Kara as then he picked up a sushi.I actually ordered a small quantity because we had no plans on staying for long and I just wanted us to have something to munch on while talking about whatever."Don't tell me you are worse than me?" I questioned, doing the same."I suppose, the thing is, it is easier to live life without depending on anyone, or what people can do or not do for you," Rowland stated."My mother is going to hate you for real, she doesn't believe it that because I don't socialize much even though I'm a bit crazy, she thinks I'm depressed, but I just think dealing with people can be stressful, look at Kara now, she called me out and now she
Last Updated : 2024-10-29One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Chapter One Hundred and Four: Pasta and Salmon.
Damon's POV It's been three bloody hours and yet there was no sign of Rose anywhere, I kept checking my phone to see if she would text me or even call at least, but I got nothing.I was tense. Susan could return anytime from now and Rose wasn't back. What was I supposed to say to her as she entrusted her daughter's safety into my hands?I only let Rose out, because she was meeting with Kara and she promised to be back in an hour.Fortunately she gave me the location of the bar and so I decided to go there to see what was going on.I was a bit worried because Rose knows she doesn't have the permission to stay out so late and so what could be keeping her?In twenty minutes I got to the bar and immediately I entered the bar, I saw Rose in the arms of another man.For a second, all rational thoughts flew out of my head and the first thing I wanted to do was pounce on the guy.But I held myself back as my eyes locked with that of Rose, and with the way she leaned on him, I figured that sh

Damon's POV."Okay I won't have anything else to drink tonight, but you need it right?" Rose muttered slowly."The only thing I need right now is some valid explanation for what happened over there" I stated, placing a piece of salmon on her pasta."Okay, but I need you not to react to whatever I'm about to tell you? Please" Rose begged, tucking a few strands of her hair behind her ears.My brows deepened as I stared at her, what could she possibly want to say and not want my reaction to it?"Go on" I urged."Thank you for bringing me back home," she said. A frown crept its way to my face as I glared at her."Go straight to the point would you?" I threw at her. Rose's face fell as she lowered her eyes, I know I sounded harsh and cold but at this moment I couldn't control my tone at all."I didn't mean to get drunk, I was just annoyed at what Kara did and Rowland came over to make me feel better and we got carried away, I just...""That bitch" I cursed underneath my breath banging my

Damon's POV."Thank you for the meal" Rose said as soon as she was done eating, breaking the silence ever since Susan came in."Yeah" I answered.She dropped her plates in the sink and then turned on the tap, "So, what are you going to do about what I just told you?" "You want me to do something?" I threw back at her."I don't know, maybe Kara will think about everything I say and then she will realize everything I just need to give her space and time" Rose answered."You indulge Kara a little bit too much, you have had a long day, you need to rest, Goodnight" I said to her."I.." Rose paused as she turned off the water, "Okay" she finally replied and then walked away.I sat in silence for thirty minutes, putting everything together in my head, with my wine as company, but I was more in my thoughts than drinking out of the bottle.I felt stuck. I couldn't go upstairs, Susan was there and I just needed some space.It was already too late, and I couldn't go to Diego's penthouse at this

Rosette's POV."Arghhh" I groaned, staring at my reflection in the vanity. I woke up this morning with a slight headache and red puffy eyes.The headache was as a result of my multiple shots last night but it would have been worse if Damon didn't use the cold water treatment on me. I let out a small breath throwing my head over my shoulders as the events from last night replayed all over again in my head.One way or the other, I know that Damon was upset with me and because of my mother's sudden arrival, I couldn't explain everything to Damon, most importantly Rowland's involvement in the whole thing.I picked up my phone and dialed Kara's number but it was switched off. I hope that by now, she will probably be calm and see reasons with me.Diego will never leave Evelyn and her child for her, but why would he flirt with Kara and lead her on?I groaned for the second time, running my hand through my hair as I rolled my eyes. I brought out my planner for the day, but there was nothing

Rosette's POV Beep.Beep.The smell of the antiseptic filled my senses as my eyes stirred open slowly.White ceilings, with the classic regular lightning.I knew without a doubt that I had landed in the hospital.But how?Before I could process anything else, I heard a voice."Like I said before, her stats are stable and by the end of today you should be able to take her home""Oh... thank you so much doc, I really do appreciate your help" Another voice chipped in.A familiar voice.One, my whole body could tell and respond to.Damon.And then it hit me, the last thing I could remember before I passed out, was seeing my mom, with shock written all over her face staring at me."Mom" I stuttered, tears forming at the rim of my eyes.Immediately, Damon rushed to my side, taking my hands in his, "Rose...Rose, can you hear me?" He asked softly."Yes," I muttered weakly."How do you feel? Are you in pain? Do you want something?" He asked again."No..no." I managed to say, as I struggled to

Rosette's POV "How dare you!" Hughes growled, glaring at Damon."Please..." I started but I didn't get to complete that statement as Damon stepped forward, covering me completely.."How dare I? You kidnapped her, kept her locked in this ridiculous place all for a contract? A contract where you didn't even indicate the slightest interest for" Damon countered.Hughes paused for a second, as he focused his attention on the woman in his arms."Jake, take her out of here" he ordered, signaling one of his men that stood at the door."No.. please I want to stay here with you" Louisa begged, holding his shirt tightly."No, you cannot stay with me Louisa, this is...work and I have to handle it alone" he dragged, staring at us.Us as in Damon and I."Work? Since when did your work require you to kidnap people? You had her locked up for days and he threatened me with a gun" Louisa continued, shaking her head.She was quite shaken. "Louisa listen to me" Hughes said, grabbing her shoulders so sh
One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Monster With A Heart.
Rosette POV I waited.Counting every second with bated breath, with my eyes fixed on the door, while on the other hand, Hughes just remained relaxed, going through some papers on his desk.He had this full assurance and confidence that Damon was on his way and my heart just wouldn't cooperate with me and slow down.I was anxious, and overall I was scared.The last three days have been hell for me but I couldn't imagine what it must have felt like for Damon. Especially because of the way our last conversation ended.And my mom? Rowland? Everyone must be losing their mind searching for me.My trail of thoughts were interrupted as Hughes' phone rang and immediately I turned to look at him.He picked up the phone with a sly smile on his face before raising his head to meet my angry face.."Your prince charming is here" He said, raising the phone to his ears. "Let him into the hall" he ordered over the phone.I stood up from the couch instantly, marching towards the door."You have to sl

Rosette POV."," I thought I was coming out to see my meal, but instead, it was the regular two men and... nothing.No food.No tray and the familiar sight of jug I have gotten used to."The boss wants to meet you" One of the men spoke, reading the confusion on my face I presume."The boss?" I repeated."Come with us" the second one added, throwing the door open as I shot me a warning look.Which clearly means 'Don't try anything funny'So I wiped my mouth carefully, adjusted my dress and followed them out."Wow" was the first word I uttered the minute I stepped into the hallway.For the kind of room they locked me in, I thought I was in a shabby, less modest remote area, probably surrounded with warehouses and lots of that.But that was far from it.I was in a freaking mansion.Literally a mansion, with huge walls and High ceilings, everything about this place screamed wealth and top notch luxury, including the interior design.We walked for a while, until we got to a door, and then
One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Burning Betrayal
Susan's POV.I never saw this day coming.The day where everything I have ever known, believed in, loved and trusted was taken away from me.For the past five months, life has been hard, adjusting to the new married life and trying to let go of the things I loved like my work to do better in my home was just a big puzzle that I couldn't fix.I tried but at some point, I gave up.I really did.And now sitting down with a new truth facing me, a bitter truth that I couldn't process, I couldn't help but reflect on everything.Way back.My choices and my decisions.And the worst part, realizing that I was right all along, but I was so stuck in my delusion and denial and then it got this far.Some part of me questioned myself when I said 'yes' to Damon.Did I make the right decision?Was it going to affect my daughter?You know, the typical nerves and endless questions that comes with being married but above all, the fear haunted me the most.The fear that one day, I would wake up and reali
One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. The Handover Contract
Damon's POV Hughes.Hughes did this."Fuck!" I cursed underneath my breath, running my hand through my hair.How did I miss out on such an important detail?The PI asked me over and over again, if I had any rivals but I said no all the time.Why? I never expected Hughes to do something as sinister as this, all because of a contract.A multi billion dollar contract though.But still..Nathan warned me about Hughes but I waved it off like it didn't matter just for this to happen.That fucking bastard.I heard of his ruthlessness and all his scheming methods he used at securing deals but this time around, the situation was different.My pitch was perfect and the investors bought it. It was after the first proposal that Nathan informed me of the other clients involved and unfortunately, Mr Hughes was one of them.The message was sound and clear and I knew what he wanted.The contract.Immediately I stood up from the couch, grabbing my keys and coat on the couch."Where are you going?"

One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. The Mail Box
Damon's POV "Everything that is happening right now is your fault!" Susan shouted, throwing a vase at me.But the police officer quickly caught it, taking it away from her.It's been three days of searching for Rosette, but every lead we had came to a dead end.With the influence of Ronan, I hired private investigators to join forces with the officers to find her but it was futile.After Rowland and I found her phone on the street, I drove to the police station to report the case and since I had tangible evidence, the report was filed.At first, Susan was still reeling in the anger of her new discovery and so she remained I bothered regarding the fact that Rose was nowhere to be found.But on the second day, it began to dawn on her and it became hectic on me.Constant yelling and throwing things at me.Sometimes I just let her vent on me until she passes out and when she is up again, she continues.But today, it was different.Before the Investigators showed up, she threatened me, sa
One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. A Victim Of Circumstances
Rosette POV.When I opened my eyes again, darkness greeted me, I had to close my eyes and open it again to adjust to my surroundings.Thousands of questions ran through my mind as I opened my mouth to speak.Or rather test my ability to speak, because it felt like I have been numb for months.The memories of the last events flooded my head as I wrapped my stomach instantly.I'm pregnant.Damon wasn't welcoming about the news and so I left the house.I went over to meet Rowland and on my way back home, waiting for a ride, I ended up....here.In a dark room.Before I could think of anything else, the door burst open followed by light and three tall men, their faces covered with masks but they didn't look threatening.Due to the light that came from outside I could finally see where I was in.A room.A decent room with a small bed, a table and chair on the other side and a waste bin at the door side."Inform the boss, she is awake" I heard one of them say."What?" I gasped, shocking myse
One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Failed Tracking
Damon's POV Silence.For the next one minute I couldn't speak.My grip on the steering wheel tightened as I swallowed hard.For a second it felt like I couldn't breathe.Rowland knows!She told him.And then it registered, even though she told him, she didn't say my name, and that is the reason he's so comfortable sitting in my car and not hating me."Shit! I shouldn't have said that but if she isn't home then there is no other place she would have gone to" he continued....."Damon...are you listening to me?" Rowland called out, pulling me out of my thoughts."Yeah..em...what are you talking about Rowland?" I asked, clearing my throat as I adjusted uncomfortably on the seat.My heart beating fast against my chest, like it was going to jump out right and all my secrets would be exposed."You shouldn't be hearing this from me, but Rose is pregnant" He said, shaking his head, looking out of the window."And how did you know about this?" I threw back at him."She came over like I said a
