One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Six: Rosetail.
Rosette's POV So that is exactly how I bought my way to this party. I stood in front of the door adjusting my dress, while summoning the courage I needed.One way or the other, I knew in my heart that Kara will be here, and Caleb too, and there is no way I will be able to avoid them, scratch that. I can avoid Kara, but I definitely have to speak to Caleb tonight.The party was in full swing by the time I arrived, music booming, and people dancing, the neon lights of the hall swayed all over, giving the hall a disco vibe.It was so hard to locate anyone with the lights and I didn't want to risk bringing out my phone. My eyes danced around the hall until they landed on a spot at the other end of the hall.It was kind of a mini bar, but from my observation, I figured out that it was for non alcoholic drinks, hence the less crowd and so I made my way there.I had less than two hours to return back home and in this crowd, if I'm not able to find Rowland I might just end up going home in

Rosette's POV."You should have insisted on that water, would have been a lot better" a voice filled with mockery rang out.My darling Rowland."I was promised a refreshing mocktail" I said in Caleb's voice.I didn't even need to turn to know it was him as a bottled water appeared in front of me.I dropped the cup of Rosetail and grabbed the water instead."Water is indeed life" I muttered opening the cap as I drank out of it.I have never been more grateful for the gift of water, not until that very moment.I closed my eyes taking a deep breath and when I opened my eyes again, Rowland was standing behind the bar, talking to the snobbish girls."May I know how long you have been stalking me?" I started, feigning a serious expression."I'm not a stalker, I was just giving your boyfriend the opportunity to approach you first""How does it matter?""It does because Caleb has asked me to stay the fuck away from you""What?""Yeah" Rowland asked, grabbing a cup from the stack and without a

Rosette POV."You are the reason this happened. Why must you claim to be a hero every single time?" Kara yelled at Rowland as they threw her in the same cell we were.I knew what she was trying to do, she was going to find a way to shift this on me now.Everyone turned to look at her but ignored her, no one gave into her silly talks because every other person was more interested in leaving this cage than trying to pin the blame."Hey!" The female constable yelled at Kara and immediately her mouth closed."We told you this before, right? The reason why the police raised the party was because we got some information that there was some use of illegal drugs and we only wanted to conduct a search party, but everyone ran away" The female constable shouted, making sure her words sink into each and every one of us.Rowland stood at the darkest corner of the cell, his arms crossed over his chest, I couldn't make a head or tail out of his facial expression and even though I knew I should than

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

One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Leaving You.
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
One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Pregnant and Mentally ill.
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
One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. The Exchange -1
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
