One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Chapter Sixty One: Cookies and Clean Up.
Damon's POVI should do something useful with my life, sulking around and questioning myself over and over again on why Rose chose to ignore me, wasn't going to solve anything for me.I need to start fixing my mess, one after the other, starting with my room which was a complete mess.Normally, Susan would have done it, but she was mad at me, and so to make things better between us, I decided to clean up, it was my way of apologizing to her for everything that happened earlier.I let my issues with Rose affect my relationship, which was so very wrong.I started by putting Susan's things aside, her make-up, jewelleries, files and every important item I came across during my cleaning.After I was done cleaning the room, I moved on to my laundry. It was quite a lot, but thankfully we have a machine and it does the work faster and even better.After I was done with my laundry, I had to go back to my study to go through the minutes of the meeting I had earlier with my foreign letter, befor

Damon's POV."Caleb please let's go" Rose said, turning around, and before I could say anything, Kara stopped her."Rose, where are you going?""What do you mean by where am I going? It's obvious that you are here to see someone else and not me, shouldn't I give you both the privacy that you need?" Rose threw back at her.Wait a minute.He eRose misunderstood the entire situation, why would she think Rose was here to see me and not her?There was nothing between Kara and I but..I threw a look at Rose, who was glaring at all now, and my eyes darted back at Kara, who acted oblivious to our stares."Rose..."I wanted to stop her, and clear out the whole misunderstanding but before that, I needed to clarify something with Kara.The tension between Kara and Rose was so thick and I knew that there was something more than what Kara was saying to me.Something much more."I will wait for you outside Caleb," she spat out and then stormed out of the house again."I'm really sorry about Rose, s

Damon's POV."But she is crying, what happened to her?" Susan quipped, glaring at me.I took a deep breath in, taking a step further towards her and before she could say anything, I wrapped my hands around her waist and then kissed her.I kissed her hard, with every anger and frustration I was feeling within me, but Susan kept resisting me and that I pulled her even closer, as our tongues fought for dominance until Susan shoved me off."What the hell has gotten into you Damon?" She threw at me, panting heavily."What.. I miss you Susan, I hate it whenever we fight, and I'm so sorry" I apologized, cupping her face and Susan threw her face away."Look at me please Susan, I will die if you keep fighting with me, I can't bear it anymore and I want you..." I added, again tracing her jawline with my fingertips."What pictures did you send to Kara?" Susan asked and instantly my hands dropped."I'm talking about us right now Susan, just let everything that has to do with Kara slide" I counter

Rosette POV"I'm going to punish you for being a bad girl, be ready for it."I turned red instantly on reading Damon's message, and when I raised my head to look at him, we exchanged a look, and I knew exactly what he meant by 'Punishment.' I couldn't help but read the message over and over again, as my entire body tenses up, in anticipation of the punishment.That was sick.So sick.I turned off my phone, grabbing a chocolate bar from the basket, and I walked out of the kitchen.Once I got to my room, I decided to shower. It's been a long day, with Caleb and the whole cinema thing, and ok getting home, just to see Kara with Damon.And all the anger and hurt from earlier, returned in full force.I couldn't even stand the sight of them standing so close to each other, and I nearly lost my mind when Damon didn't even try to stop me.Okay, he did. But I didn't listen.As usual.However, Caleb did his thing and made me feel a little bit better before I returned back home, only to see tha

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

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
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

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
