Rosette's POVOf course I would join Damon in the kitchen, this was our one time opportunity to probably fix whatever is left to be fixed and I wasn't going to trade it for anything, but before that, I needed to stop by my mom's room.When Damon brought up the issue of Diego coming over, with his friend I noticed, mom didn't object nor accept, and so I felt that I should talk to her about it one more time to know if she was still wary about Diego."Hi mom," I said, stepping into her study, her eyes fixed on her computer as her fingers danced endlessly on the keyboard."Rose, you are here?" My mother asked, without taking her eyes off the screen.Typical Susan.Sometimes, I wonder what drives my mom to work so hard, because we aren't poor and if she decides not to work for the next ten years, we will still be able to live comfortably.I guess she was just obsessed with her work, or the idea that she was a workaholic?Does it add to her identity or was it just passion?I might never kn
Damon's POV“What is that supposed to mean?” I threw back at her.“You know, I'm not surprised that you have been talking to Kara and so I just wanted to know how the relationship is going, it's simple as that” Rose answered.My brows furrowed on their own and I contemplated on saying something but decided not to, it was of no use.I walked up to the fridge with the list of all ingredients I will be needing for the meal prep and I started sorting it out, pretending like there was no other person in here.Rose stood at the entrance of the door for a few minutes, probably waiting for my response or coming back but I ignored her.Mentally I was tired and I barely had enough strength, but I have to host Diego and the client he was bringing over.Although we are all mutual friends, he is going to invest into Diego's music brand and they wanted me to do the calculations and everything important as the “Maths guy” before they proceed with their lawyers.“If you aren't going to talk to me, wh
Rosette's POV.“Well I hate to ruin this moment, but the table is set and Diego is here with some other guy,” I said, clearing my throat as my mother and Damon separated.It took everything inside of me to sound so neutral and luckily my voice didn't disappoint.Damon tried to meet my eyes but I quickly looked away.“Is everything ready?” I asked, referring to the meal and all.“Yes, everything is set, thank you for receiving them” Damon answered, walking back to the other side of the kitchen to do only what God knows.“Oh my! I need to change my clothes, I won't be able to join y'all for dinner with this” My mother chirped.“You can go change or something, I will handle Diego and others until you return, but please do not waste time” Damon warned.“Yes captain, I will be very quick, please excuse me now” She said one more time before spinning off, leaving just Damon and I.I have no idea how to feel about everything that has been going on, so I decided to let this play out, and face
Damon's POV.“I'm so fortunate to have a meal made by Susan once again, thank you for having me,” Diego commented as soon as he finished his meal.“Just that this time around, it wasn't made by me, Damon did” Susan answered with a smile on her face.“Are you serious? Do you mean that or are you just joking?” Diego asked again, feigning ignorance to the fact that I'm a good cook.He knows this better than anyone else, but he just decided to be a jerk, a good one as a matter of fact.“It doesn't matter if it was made by Susan or Damon, they hosted us and we should show gratitude for that Diego,” Nathan Chided.He was far more sensible and responsible than Diego, and also was an Introvert.When Diego told me that Nathan was coming over, I almost couldn't believe it. Man wouldn't leave the comfort of his city for anything in the whole world.Susan gave a small nod towards Nathan and I just knew that was her sign of accepting him.Tough luck with making her accept Diego then. Because it mi
Rosette POV.I can't believe the Audacity of Kara and Damon!The way they both kept exchanging glances throughout dinner, Kara just kept looking at Damon like some love stricken bird.Jealousy coursed through my veins the more I thought about it, the angrier I became.The entire situation was infuriating because Damon kept entertaining Kara's advances over and over again.When Damon left, Kara tried to talk to me, but ignored her and focused on clearing up the dining table and after I was done, I returned back to my room.I just couldn't stand it with them, and the only reason why I endured throughout the dinner was because of my mom.No matter how bad the situation was, I could never disrespect her at all or do anything that might embarrass her in front of others..I was still up in my head when my phone started ringing, it was Caleb calling.I took a deep breath in before swiping up to answer the call.“Hey,” I greeted, trying to sound as cheerful as possible.“I'm so sorry that I c
Rosette POV "Yes! I know I have lost my mind and I need you now more than ever," Kara broke into tears."You are not in love with him, it's all in your head Kara, and the sooner you get rid of it, the better for you, I don't know how to explain this to you, for you to understand" I stated, a bit more calmly."You think so?" Kara asked, looking at me with her teary eyes."I know Kara,.." I know so because I'm in the same situation you are in, but I couldn't say this to her.I envisioned myself in her state, crying my eyes out the moment I accepted the fact that Damon doesn't love me, and he never will."I realize what I have been doing is wrong and I feel ashamed about it. Aunt spoke to me about the pictures and...it just made me feel even worse," Kara continued."Of course, you will, Damon has covered up for you if not the whole matter would be different now, so different." I added."I'm glad he did, I just came here to tell you that, Damon isn't at fault for everything that happene
Rosette's POV."I want to hear your screams, Rose, don't Keep it all you, let it out for me, come on now, be a good girl and scream for me!" Damon ordered tracing my spine with his fingers.I was bent over his study table with my eyes blindfolded and completely naked.My legs quivered as I kept rubbing the table seeking for contact to ease my relief and the spank came.So hard on my ass cheeks that my legs almost gave in. I was breathless but my core was throbbing in anticipation of the next hit.Something was sick and twisted like this shouldn't get me so turned on, but I was so wet that I could feel my wetness dripping down my legs, while Damon was taking his sweet time in and admiring his hand prints on my ass."I'm gonna fuck you so hard like a slut Rose, do you want that?" Damon growled against my ears."Yes!" "You are going to come so hard until you pass out, think about it again" Damon added."Just fuck me already Damon!" I screamed.A small chuckle escaped his lips as he
Damon's POV"I hope you really don't mind, because if you ask me to stay behind, I will" I said to Susan, while tying the lace of my shoes."Are you serious? You are going to cancel your trip with the boys, because of me? You want Diego to think that I'm a wicked wife that doesn't let her husband socialize" Susan countered with a smile on her face."Hell no, Diego cannot think that way of you, come on now" I threw back at her."It's been a long time since you hung out with the boys, you should go and spend some time with them," Susan added."Okay, since you are chasing me, how can I refuse you?""Chasing you? That's unfair Damon, I'm only asking you to leave, I also have work in another town, I won't be back on time and I do not want Rose to be alone at night, will you be back on time?" Susan asked."Yeah sure, I will be back in like four hours or so, the boys will definitely want to meet up with work and other things" I replied, grabbing my cap from the table."Alright, See you later
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
