Rosette's POV"Sweetie, I do not mean that and you know it, you just caught me by surprise that's all" Mom uttered, running her hand through her hair.I watched her carefully as her expression switched between worry and carefree, a fake smile spreading on her lips."Doesn't seem like it" I countered, leaning on the counter table as my eyes hovered around the table."Rose...""I get it, you are an adult, your life and I don't get to interfere, I was just asking and you don't have to tell me either, so..I will take this to the dining area" I said, reaching out for the first tray.Mom settled for three full course meals, with the appetizer, main meal and dessert, I think so.A fruit crunch for the appetizer, steamed buns and lasagna for the main meal and lastly, my all time favorite dessert - Vanilla cupcakes with a dash of lemon."Baby, you don't have to worry about me, I promise I'm alright, just routine check up, and my doctor was confirming with me" She answered."Sure?""Yes dear, I
Damon's POV "What was the need to do all of this?" I asked as we settled down, my eyes scanning the entire place.It was beautiful, roses scattered all over the floor and the table, the aroma of the dishes on the table filling my nostrils as my eyes rested on the bottle of champagne in the middle of the table."Well I think our relationship has been lacking, especially with the fact that I'm always absent and so I decided to do this for us, also a medium to thank you for always looking after my daughter" Susan stated, with a wide smile on her face.I was dumbfounded, I least expected any of this and I had no idea how to react, my mind wasn't even present as it kept drifting back to Rose.How did she feel about all of this happening?Susan must have told her about it and to worsen it she was right upstairs and we were having our date right here."I appreciate you doing all of this Susan,.but why not a restaurant or a hotel you know..." I asked, grabbing the bottle of champagne.I need
Damon's POV. "Are you repulsed by me? Am I making such a huge demand from you?" Before she could continue with her nonsense, I kissed her. Harshly. Pushing her back to the wall as her hands roamed over my shirt as she tried to pull it off but then I pulled back. Panting heavily, "You shower, and join me in bed, I will be waiting." I ordered. A proud smile crept its way to her face, "Are you sure about that?" She purred. "Yes" I assured her and then she kissed my cheeks quickly before dashing into the bathroom. Immediately I banged my fist on the wall. What the hell am I doing? I wanted to scream so loudly that the ceilings might fall but I suppressed it. I just gave my word to Susan now, but I made a promise to Rose. How do I maintain both of them? I made my way to the table as I opened the last drawer; the sex cabinet like Susan likes to call it. There were different types of sex toys in it, vibrators, dildos, nipple clamps, cuffs and the list goes on. But
Damon's POV "Selfish?" "You don't get to call me selfish Damon, I did what I thought was best for you and I, I only had our interest in heart" She added rising from the floor as tears ran down her face."Let me get this right Susan, so you are saying, you got pregnant, aborted the baby, because you felt like it was the best thing for us?" I asked, throwing the papers at her, my tone filled with disbelief."But isn't it? Look at me Damon, do you think I will be able to carry a child for another nine months, and to take care of an infant is something I'm not capable of doing, not now not even tomorrow!" She retorted."So you aborted it because you won't be able to look after your child? It's fine with Rose, she is an adult and fortunately she doesn't need you anymore, you keep missing the point here Susan!""But a small baby will need me Damon, I won't be able to do that, I won't be able to be there every single minute and second showing affection and...""I'm out of here" I fired bac
Rosette's POV There was something off about today, I could feel it in the air, Rowland kept dragging me out of my thoughts, again and again and I apologized countless times but yet.I couldn't fight off the urge to call Damon and with every passing second it increased drastically. We were on our way to the college garage after the exams when my phone rang.It was an unknown number.I paused on my tracks as I stared at my screen, all possible imaginations running through my head."Aren't you going to answer that?" Rowland asked for the second time."Yeah, I will..but then it's an unknown number and I'm skeptical about it" I replied."Should I take it for you?"My eyes danced between my screen and Rowland, what if it was Damon calling? And he says something inappropriate thinking it's me, how do I explain it?"No, no you just go ahead and meet Caleb, I will take this call and come along" I stated, turning around as I answered the call before Rowland could utter anything. "Hello?""Hey
Rosette's POV I tried to speak again, but it was already too late. Damon marched forward, with angry precise steps as he pulled me out of the elevator straight to the suite. Immediately the door closed behind us, he pushed me to the wall and then kissed me.Wrong.Ravaged me.He was everywhere, taking and taking, he was angry and he was taking it out on me, at first I tried to stop him at least to get him to talk but all my efforts were futile and I just gave him, I allowed him consume me in the best way possible.I moaned as he raised my legs, so I could hook it around his waist while pushing my dress up and at the same he worked his pants and in the next few seconds, I could feel his cock seeking entrance.Fuck.This was pure madness but I was so turned on. I could feel my wetness dripping down my legs as the sounds of my moans and his grunts mixed together, echoed in the room."Fuck" I cursed out loud as he slammed into me, no warning, no foreplay well apart from the aggressive ki
Damon’s POV“What the fuck is wrong with you Damon?” Nathan yelled over the phone. Twenty minutes after Rose left, I got a call from Nathan man, was pissed and angry. He must have called Rose and she must have told him about everything.Everything but not how i fucked her and asked her to leave the next second.And I regret it, I deeply do, but I had no idea how to fix it, I couldn't even gather the courage to go after her and stop her. “Say something man, at least, you got me to call her and i did and then you threw her out?” He added again.“Is that what she told you?” I threw back at him.“What she told me doesn’t matter, what you did matters! I know what Susan did to you was horrible, terrible and all that…but that doesn’t mean you get to do that to her, I’m sure she dropped everything for you” “Did you tell her the truth?” “I told her it wasn’t in my position to do so, Susan might tell her once she gets home and now you are deviating from the topic, why did you do that?” “It
Rosette's POV Instead of going back home, I decided to head to the ice cream parlor. A few minutes ago, I got a message from Caleb. They were still at the ice cream parlour if I would be able to meet up.In this state, it was the best thing for me rather than facing my mom. I knew something was off in the morning before I left for school, I just wished I paid more attention and not ignored it like I did.In less than twenty minutes, I arrived at the parlour, and through the glass walls, I could see Caleb and Rowland, on a table, scanning the menu as they said something to each other.I took a deep breath in, while trying to fix my expression. I needed to come up with something because they will definitely ask questions and I had to give them no reason to suspect.I ran my hand through my hair, while reapplying my lipgloss. Just as I took the next step, I winced in pain.I had completely forgotten how sore I was considering how rough Damon took me, and that was going to disorganize my
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
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
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
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?" Su
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
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
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
