One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Moving To San Francisco
Rosette's POV."She is asleep upstairs in your room Rose, she doesn't want to stay alone" my mom said handing a bottle of water to me."Of course" I mumbled, taking a long sip out of the bottle of water."Young lady I will appreciate it if you keep it together, for the meantime" She snapped at me."I'm trying to, if that isn't obvious enough, I don't know how else to act" I retorted.We just got back from Kara's house and immediately Damon went upstairs to shower, while I stayed in the kitchen to munch on some snacks.Just a way to distract my thoughts but my mom had to fill in that void."Listen I know you and Kara aren't on good terms but you don't have to be a bitch right now, it makes no sense, she is mourning, she is sad and...""I'm a bitch mom, deal with it" I stated, walking out of the kitchen."Be kind to her!" She yelled after me and I could do nothing else other than roll my eyes, that was the most absurd thing I heard in a week.Should I be kind to her?When she was never

Rosette POV “What could possibly be wrong with him? You are deviating Rose, Damon is just working, you should focus on this issue right now” My mom interrupted even before Damon uttered a word.“What the hell mom?” I shot at her. I just couldn't understand why she's been on my neck since last night, was this to paint me in a bad light or what?“Rose..Susan, that's enough please” Damon stated.I threw a look at him, “I didn't even do anything”“I know…and everything is fine with me, it's just work, help out with the funeral arrangements would you?”“Of course, I already agreed to help. I have no idea why…” I paused, my eyes landing on Kara. Her head was bowed, as she wiped the corner of her eyes.She was crying.“Kara…” I started, placing my bowl of cereal on the counter as I moved closer to her.“Hey…you don't have to cry okay? We are here for you” I heard myself saying the same thing Damon did earlier.“I don't want y’all fighting because of me” Kara stammered, in between tears.“Ar

Rosette's POV "Phewww, what a day!" My mom let out as we strolled into the house. The ceremony was over and concluded but by the time we got home, it was already past nine."Well, I'm glad it went well" Kara added as she plopped down on the couch.I smiled, walking into the kitchen to get a glass of water when I heard Damon's voice."So I will put the house up for sale in two days and when I get a buyer, the proceeds will be sent to you" "Oh, thank you so much, I got the confirmation of my ticket in my mail, I really appreciate it," Kara replied."Tickets? Are you leaving tomorrow?" My mom interrupted."Yes, my flight is tomorrow, by noon actually" Kara answered.I grabbed the bottle of water and walked out of the kitchen, "Why so fast?" I threw at her."Yes, I agree with Rose for the first in forever, why so fast? You know you can stay here until you get yourself together" My mom supported."Ohhhh" I drawled out, rolling my eyes as I handed the water to Damon, while glaring at my m

Rosette's POV "I know this isn't the time Rose, but please we have to talk" Caleb said instead l, closing the distance between us."There will never be a right time Caleb cause I don't give you the opportunity to lie to me ever since that's all you can do!" I retorted, as calmly as possible.Kara already said her piece and if I wanted my sanity, the best option was sending Caleb away before my mom realizes he was here and then comes down to create a scene for me."It's my mom Rose, I had no choice, I'm sorry I lied but we are at fault for what happened, it's annoying that you wouldn't let it go" Caleb added."Really? Are we at fault? Agreed. But I need you to wake up, we can be er be together because what your mom wants from me, I will never do that, and it's going to be better if she doesn't continue this mind games with my mom, it's not her forte" I warned, I was starting to loose my cool the more I talked about it."Don't talk about my mom like that Rose!""Then leave, don't push

Rosette's POV "Hey... what's going on, talk to me please" Damon pleaded, cupping my face as he leaned forward, our foreheads almost touching."Caleb came over last night, I might have overreacted and now everything is over, but then it didn't end well so...I just..." I stammered, trying so hard not to break into tears."Hey...it's okay, I understand how you feel, and it's normal for you to feel that way okay, but whatever happened was inevitable, and things like this we cannot control them but everything will be fine okay?" Damon reassured me."Are you sure? I feel terrible for the way things turned out, I don't know, I'm just exhausted..." I added again."But it's all done right? And over, you won't have to face him or deal with him again, at least for now" "What about Rowland? I can't avoid him forever and you know my mom, she would never drop it, it's Caleb this or Diana that, I know she is waiting for us and when we get home, she is going to start it again, I just can't deal wit

Rosette's POV "I can explain everything Damon, help me talk to her please" my mom pleaded. Damon walked up to me and extended a hand, lifting me up so I could lean on him as I tried to gather my thoughts together."It's really not what you think baby, I only want the best for you" she added again, stuttering."Why! Why are the things you always do so hurtful and then you go ahead to say that you do it for me? How so? You go ahead and make some stupid unreasonable decisions and then say it's for me? I never asked for any of this Mom!""Easy easy Rose...calm down, I seriously have no idea what's going on here and can someone fill me in?" Damon said, wrapping his hand over my shoulders."Ask your wife why she is talking to that man, and promising him things that she will never be able to keep up too" I answered, before Susan could."What man? Is this about Caleb or am I missing something here?""I wish it was about Caleb and I cannot believe that you drove me to the point of saying tha

Susan's POV"I didn't have a choice, he reached out to me, begging and I have been putting him off for years and I just believe after staying in jail for so long that there is a possibility that he might have changed, I don't know..." I tried for months to hide this from Damon while contemplating if I was making the right decision or not.Only for Rose to walk in on me.And now they were both looking at me, like I was some sort of criminal and I hated how it made me feel."That makes no sense Susan, for what reason do you think he wants to be back in Rose's life? What if he wants you back?" Damon questioned."That's ridiculous, I don't have any feelings for Ronan, it's you I love, I love you Damon" I confessed, placing my hands on his chest, while pleading with my eyes."Susan....""I'm a mother Damon, everything I did, I did it as a mother, I only wanted stability in Rose's life, I just...""And what makes you feel like there is no stability in my life mom?

I was starting to have everything well except for her.She was never present.I remember waiting up every night for her to return but ended up sleeping on my nanny's lap.Time passed and by the time I was fifteen, I finally understood everything, the changes, her absence, the price she had to pay to get us comfortable.I watched my mother work her way to the top of her career with Mr Smith beside her. I honestly thought that he was going to end up being my step father, but turns out he was my father's best friend and everything he did for my mom and us? Was for our good."

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
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
