Damon's POV

"She was very polite when she asked for my contact and she is Rose's best friend right? I thought it wouldn't mean anything until she started pestering me."

"That's not what it looks like here Diego, you entertained her for a while and it seems she got it all in her head" I countered reading the messages on his phone.

When I got to Diego's house, he was sober and waiting with a cup of black coffee for me, and so immediately I got down to the business of the day.

I told him everything Rose told me and demanded answers from him, and then he went ahead to hand over his phone to me so I could through the messages directly.

So at the beginning, it was casual talk, Kara reaching out and just exchanging pleasantries until Kara started pushing forward.

"I gave her my attention for twenty hours and she fell in love? That's insane, look read properly at a point she was starting to pester me and I had to tell her about Evelyn, I thought she would deter but she was quite persistent."

    Rosette's POV.It's been a long time since I had so much fun, doing the little things.Little things, like getting my hair washed and trimmed at the same time, getting my nails done all with my mom.My mom was almost done with her nails when she received a call from the office, calling her back to the office and so she had to go back while I returned home alone.She begged me to come along with her but I was already spent for the day, plus I was yet to study at all, so we said our good-byes and went our separate ways.When I got back home, Damon wasn't back and so I decided to study in the kitchen while having my ice-cream.After some time, my phone rang, it was a call for Kara and with all excitement I answered it."Hey Kara" I chirped, closing my textbook as I dropped my pen as well, giving her call utmost importance."What kind of a person are you Rose?" came her harsh reply as the smile on my face dropped instantly."Excuse me?""You heard me right! I told you something and you we

    Damon's POV."What do you mean by that?" Rose questioned flatly."After I gave her all the warning, that's exactly what she told me, that she knows that there is something going on between us" I answered, taking a spoon out of Rose's ice cream."I don't understand how you can be so laid back about this..." Rose started again, her voice laced with dread, panic written all over her face."Do you believe that? She is only saying it to get to us Rose, all you have to do is ignore her and stay away from her," I replied, savoring the flavor of the ice cream.I couldn't remember the last time I had ice cream, and here I was casually eating from her tub like it was my favorite snack.Rose was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even notice this. "What exactly did you say to her?" Rose asked again."Something along the lines of her being a liar and saying rubbish, but we need to be very careful, extra careful" I added again."Will that solve anything?" She asked again."For now, yes. You

You have been taking a lot of unnecessary permission, you can go ahead to say whatever you want" Damon answered without lifting his eyes up from the note."What's your birthday date?" I blurted out."4th of July" Damon replied almost immediately."Are you serious?" I asked again in disbelief."Yes, hard to believe?" Damon added as I nodded."What's your favorite snack?" I asked again."Meat pie, what about you?"I never expected Damon to ask me in return, it felt like he was also interested in knowing me as I was in him."Cake," I muttered."Okay, let's go to the second part now shall we?" Damon started, opening up my textbook."Yess" I shrugged, keeping mute as he started the explanation again.Okay, so I lied. The only reason I asked Damon to teach me, was so we could spend more time together.Plus it

    Rosette POVBy the time I was up the next morning, my mom was already on her way to New York.Last night, Dinner ended up in the most awkward way and I couldn't even tell what the reason was exactly.But it felt like Damon wasn't cool with the impromptu trip she had to take, but in the real sense, there was no difference between her being here or away.Okay, a slight difference, because lately she's been having a lot of free time on her hands and so she was mostly home.I checked the time on my phone, it was quite early, but I had to be in college, later in the day, but first I needed to find Damon.I brushed my teeth and walked out of the room, heading towards the kitchen but to my greatest surprise, he wasn't there.A frown crept its way to my face as I turned around heading towards his room, could it be that he was still asleep?When I got to the room, I peeped through the door hole, but the room was empty as well.Plus there was no sound of water coming from the bathroom which mea

    Rosette's POV Two classes done, two more to go. So glad I came out with my headset at least it helped with drowning all the noise around me so I could focus more on my books.I didn't want to think about anything, not about Damon, Kara or even Caleb. I just wanted to be on my own without thoughts running through my mind.It was easier for me to go through my first two classes, because of Kara's absence, but the next two classes I have, I wondered just how bad it's going to be.I'm not saying it's going to be bad. I mean who knows? Kara might be over her rage now and possibly we will be able to talk things out or not.At this point I don't care.Right now, I'm simply letting whatever goes go, and whatever comes be.I had no energy left to go after things that don't want me."Hey" someone tapped me from behind and I had to remove my headset."It's time for the next class," the girl said to me before walking out.I muttered a small thank you to her even though she didn't hear me as I g

    Rosette's POV."Can you just be direct with me? I was literally worried about you and you were hanging out?" Caleb countered."It was a coincidence, I didn't plan to meet Rowland there but I just met him and Kara was the only reason why I went to the bar, and this was like two days ago" I explained, looking at him with nothing but disappointment.I had no expectations from him or our so-called relationship but for the fact we were friends even before he fell in love, he should at least have some faith in me.Scrap that. My conscience pricked me as I lowered my eyes, I was doing worse and here I'm feeling bad for his reaction.A small lump grew in my throat as I swallowed hard. "I went to the bar to meet Kara for some work, we had an argument and she left, my food had just arrived, I couldn't leave it and at the same time, Rowland came along, what was I supposed to tell him?" I continued, narrating everything that happened that night for the second time."Listen...""I don't understand

I couldn't even see her before she left for college this morning because of Susan.Nothing else mattered to her well except her work. One minute she puts in efforts towards her relationship and then she fails to be consistent with it.Last night after dinner, we all retired to our room, but then to give her some space I headed towards my study to work but then she came after me."Are you upset?"

    Rosette POV.When Damon said driving lessons, I thought he was taking us to the field we used the last time, but this one was different, and it was quite far from the college, like it was at the extreme end of the town.By the time we got here, it was already evening, thank goodness I told Caleb I would call him instead of meeting up, also because I needed some space to just get over everything Kara said and did.But right now, all I have to do is focus on the moment, to this lovely place Damon brought us too.It was an open field, so large that I couldn't see the end of it. He parked his car at the corner of the field, under the shade of the tall umbrella trees that provided a warm shade.I followed Damon out of the car, as he opened the trunk and that was my real surprise.A picnic!There was a mat, two coolers whose content I do not know, and a basket of fruits.I let out a small squeal as I hugged Damon, squeezing him as tight as I could.In that moment, I forgot about everything

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

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?

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

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

    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?"

    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 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
