Rosette's POV "But you know it's quite common for the Police to raid a college party" Damon started after I gave them a run down of what happened.My mother held me until I couldn't cry anymore and with the help of Damon, they moved me to the couch and then I had some water..An unsettling silence hung over the room but no one pressured me to say anything, they didn't even ask me questions I just told them everything on my own accord.I didn't tell them about the things Rowland said, I only told them the issue with the men and how the police carried us without any explanation."The last thing I want is for you to support her on this Damon, she knew she shouldn't be there in the first place" my mom countered, raising her voice.I knew it was going to come down to this, one way to the other, I wiped the corner of my eyes as I looked away."Susan, it's a party, no one expects the bad things to happen when going for a party and when you don't let her attend such events, how can she soci
Rosette's POV.The weekend passed so quickly washing away the ugly memories of Friday night along with it..Despite the ugly incident on Friday, this weekend happened to be one of the best I have ever had in a while, I had all my meals in bed, mom didn't let me lift a finger as she kept checking on me every twenty minutes and at some point, she moved her laptop to my room and some snacks to my room and insisted we watch some movies together.When I asked for Damon, she told me that he was busy with a conference, which was going to last for hours so she stuck with me.When I woke up this morning, I thought he would reply to my message, but the last message I sent was still there."How many times do we have to watch Perfect Find?" My mom asked as I clicked the play button on my laptop, setting it in a way we could both see."Because it's a perfect movie, exactly what I need, something funny and light-hearted as well." I answered."Your taste in movies is very weird I must, why are you a
Rosette POV There was something different in the air in college today, it was like everyone was still in shock or recovering from whatever happened during the weekend, but as for me I was already over it and ready to face my exams..I made my way to the class and on getting there, there was an unwanted visitor on my desk.So here is the thing, when Kara and I resumed college, we picked the two middle seats in the hall, as the best spot to listen to lectures and be faraway from professors eyes.And so we sat together for every lesson not until Kara started misbehaving. She migrated from that seat to the back row and to be honest I couldn't care less.Sometimes my bag occupied the seat and other times, Rowland did."Why are you here?" I asked, dropping my bag onto the desk, pushing my hair out of my face."We need to talk to Rose, and I know this isn't the right time but...""But what Kara? What do you want to say that I haven't heard?" I threw back at her, I tried so hard not to sound
Damon's POV.“I hope things remain this way, Rose is more free with me and you know there is just this calmness in the house and I want it to last forever" Susan stated, we just finished having lunch and she was ready to step out."And now I feel abandoned, y'all bonding and doing your thing is nice, all I want is for the both of you to be happy" I added, without taking my eyes off my laptop."You have helped me a lot, I don't know how much I can thank you, but then, thank you so so much for everything" Susan said."Why are you thanking me?""Well that's because I trusted you with my daughter and you didn't break my trust, in fact in my absence you have given her enough support and I can see the changes in her now, I'm grateful for that" I paused for a second as I raised my head looking at Susan, excitement written all over her face as she packed up her bag.These days, she has grown extremely close to Rose. Sometimes in my office I could hear the sound of their laughter coming from
Rosette's POV "You think so? I'm just so scared Damon I really don't know" "You don't have to be scared, if you show her that you are scared, she will find more reasons to poke you and trouble you, we don't want that you know right?" Damon countered."She is already doing that, I think I will have to show this video to Caleb, probably let him handle things from here, the same way she instigated him, I will do the same, I will present the video in such a way that will make it look she was trying to make me leave him, would that work?" I asked, pondering over it again..I already checked through the timetable for tomorrow and hence I knew that Caleb would be in college undoubtedly, and then I will have to corner him first and Rowland afterwards."That could work, but what if Caleb is also involved in this?" Damon asked."Not at all, we are all taking advantage of Caleb, he has a soft heart, and quite easy to manipulate but he wouldn't do this to anyone and by the way he likes me so mu
Rosette POV. I squealed, jumping in excitement as my eyes scanned the entire room, large artwork, beautiful pieces covered every part of the wall and they all had a certain vibe. Greenery. It felt like I had just stepped into a lush green forest, surrounded by mountains and rivers. On the other side of the wall, paintings of the oceans covered the entire wall, then the mountains and the forests. There were different canvases littered all over the room, each with an easel and a stool in front of it. There was a small podium in front, different paints, covered the entire space, I could bet on my car that there was no shade of colour that one would need and not be able to find there. Damon was a perfectionist after all. He would certainly get everything down to the least important tool required. Breathing in this studio, made me forget about all my worries as I moved from one artwork to the other, check-in them out. "I can't believe I had this in the house and you kept it
Rosette POV."Rose" a voice called out my name so softly that it could pass for a whisper.My eyes stirred open as my brain registered where I was."Rose" Damon called out again. This time around my eyes widened as I say up right, covering myself with the lacy robe.Damon smiled as he held out his hand for me, "We should leave now, Susan will be back anytime from now" he said."Wait, are you done with the painting?" I asked, a small yawn escaping my lips."Not yet, it will be ready in a week" Damon answered, handing my clothes back to me as I let the robe fall while putting on my shirt."You say it like I placed an order for my painting" I retorted, putting on my shorts as well."Well, let me remind you that it's mine now it's up to me to let you see it or not, you might have to beg for it" Damon answered patting my head."That's unfair!""Is it?""Tell me how did I fall asleep?" I asked, as Damon opened the door."After your second orgasm" Damon replied shamelessly as I covered my he
Rosette POV. "How..how did you get this video?" Caleb stuttered, my phone almost dropped from his hands but I quickly caught it. "Kara sent it to me, I don't really understand whatever agreement you guys have going on or not but then in summary Kara doesn't want us to work, she doesn't want this relationship to progress so..." "Wait a minute, Kara sent this to you?" Caleb asked again, his tone filled with disbelief."Yes, I was searching for you in school and then I came across her..." I summarized my encounter with Kara at college."That bloody bitch, and all along I thought Rowland was lying to me about her, I swear on my life I don't even know what is going on here, I don't..""Caleb, I... I'm not showing you this so you can justify yourself, No. I just want to prove to you the kind person Kara is truly and why you shouldn't listen to anything she says" I said, cutting him short."So are you saying you are fine with this?" Caleb asked."That's not what I'm saying,
Rosette POV"Are you busy?" I asked softly, closing the door behind me. "No, you have my attention" my mom answered, throwing her legs out of the bed.After grabbing my snacks from downstairs, instead of heading to my room I decided to drop by and check on my mom.Luckily for me, I didn't have to knock because the door was slightly open and when I peeped in, she caught me and asked me to come in."I just wanted to apologize for everything" I started, fixing my eyes on the floor."Will you ever get tired of hating me?" She threw back at me instead.Immediately my eyes widened, "I don't hate you" the words slipped out of my mouth."You don't?""Mom...""Will I ever be that to you and truly be it? Every second our relationship takes a step forward, something comes up and we take three steps backwards, it's exhausting" she added again.This time around, she was so right. I was teary, but didn't want to show it so I wiped the corner of my eyes stylishly."I don't want us to keep going ba
Rosette POV After an hour passed of thorough questioning and penning down statements, the officers promised to remain in touch with Damon, once the order was processed and for the meantime we were asked to restrict our movements.Damon walked the officers out of the house, while my mom picked up herself and headed upstairs, without saying a word to me. She didn't even spare me a glance and now I was starting to feel bad for everything I said earlier, even though a part of me knew that I couldn't blame her entirely for it, it just felt easier putting it all on her.I took a deep breath in, turning around when I met Damon, he was angry at me, as he crossed his arms over his chest."You need to stop Rose," he started."I....""You are hurting but you aren't the only one suffering, your mom isn't happy about this either and so you cannot continue with this attitude," he added again."I can't help but feel that way..." I countered."And I'm not saying your feelings aren't valid, all I'm
Rosette POV "I'm not making this an issue, it's not my fault that you are always on defense mode, you need to cut me some slack Rose, you went out this morning, without informing either of us and then you return with Damon, with takeouts, can't I ask questions?" Mom countered, her hands resting on her hips."Of course you can mom, but then when you... just forget it, can we go inside, there is something I need to discuss with you" I added instead.Arguing with Susan was pointless.We could never agree on something together.Our views were just so different and poles apart."Alright then, go in, I will join you" she said, looking away."Mom, can you please not do that right now? Okay I'm sorry, but this is important," I insisted."How important?""Ronan"At the mention of his name, my mom's hand dropped as she turned around, like she was in search of him."Ronan? Did you see him around here? Did he talk to you?""What are you talking about mom?" I asked, covering the distance between
Rosette POV "What are you doing?" The words slipped out of my mouth as I gripped the car seat tightly."Distracting you""Distracting me? From what exactly?" I asked, shivers running down my spine as Damon's hands moved up my thighs. And my legs? They fell open on their own.I was squirming hard on the car seat but then trying hard not to show it."You will get yourself distracted Damon, we are on the road for Christ sake!" I protested, hiding the smile that threatened to break out of my lips."Let me worry about that, right now my only focus is you, so spread those legs wider for me my sweet Rose, I want to feel you..." He said without taking his eyes off the road but for some reason I felt like he was watching me."Damon..." I whimpered as he pushed my panties aside, his thumb coming in contact with my clit."Hmmmm" he hummed in approval, stroking me, and then he plunged two fingers inside of me.My eyes flew open instantly, a loud moan escaped my lips, from the corner of my eyes I
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
