One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Bloody Mary!
Rosette's POV."I can't believe I agreed to all of this, the worst part is you are using his credit card, it's more like poking an angry bear, I don't get what you are really driving out Mom" I whined, rolling my eyes as we dumped the shopping bags in the car trunk.Susan successfully kidnapped me out of the house, for the agreed time of five hours. Even if I didn't want to, I had no choice, also I felt pity for her.Mom was disorganized and yet, her brave font didn't falter for a second, so I made a mental note to talk to her about therapy, the one thing she has always wanted me to do, also because I have been considering it as well. Do I have a specific reason in mind? No.But I was sure that's what therapy is all about, it helps figure out things, put one and two together, and makes it easier to understand life.Our first stop was at the salon, and she couldn't stop nagging about the fact that I didn't let her stay and watch me get ready.Very awkward.But I couldn't take a chance,

Rosette's POV "What the fuck is wrong with you mom?!" I whispered-yelled into her ears."Nothing my darling, put on a smile and face your boyfriend's mother" she answered, releasing my arm as she walked up to Diana."Oh, I'm so glad you could make it," She added as they both hugged.I should have known.I should have fucking known, immediately I turned around to leave when another voice called out."Rose!"Fuck me.Caleb is here?I turned around for the second time as my Mother and Diana separated, giving me the view of Caleb, dressed in a fancy suit and a wide grin on his face.Immediately a slight chuckle escaped my lips as I covered my mouth."Rose..." My mom called out and then I realized that all eyes were on me, because I was very odd.Probably the only woman in that fancy three star restaurant, putting on a crop top and jeans.No wonder my mother insisted on a dress so badly, but I refused to cave in and then she said I was going to regret it..And it was happening now.I regr

Rosette's POV."Mom, that's none of your business" I said, a bit loud."Well Rose dear, I'm afraid it, I mean my boy is clearly affected with this fight your guys had and we want to be here for you both, so you guys can talk things out, we will be here, listening and definitely not judging." Diana interrupted, placing her hand over my mom's hand."Yes, she is right, so...talk it out, we are here" my mom added, raising her glass of wine to her lips.I turned to look at Caleb, rubbing my forehead, wishing I had some superpowers to disappear or something.The crazy thing is, there was no fight with Caleb and I lied to my mom about that but did Caleb do the same with his mom?And if he did, that means we both lied and yet we don't have a common ground for the fight in question."Mom..I told you, Rose and I will settle it's something really minor honestly" Caleb said, touching his mom's arm."But baby, you know small things build up, leading to major stuff and suddenly there is this rift a

Rosette POV "Why did you take so much time? Your food is getting cold now" my mother's first words immediately I returned."Well I met a friend, and she was in need, I had to help" I replied, my eyes following Clara as she made her way to her table."Ohhh, that's very sweet of you, you know femininity and..." Diana started."Wow, this smells delicious" I said, cutting her short as I picked up my cutlery to dig in."I told you, you will love it here, but no, always trying to prove stubborn, and then you forget I'm your mother, you got the stubbornness from me" My mom chipped in."Hmmmm" I drawled out, paying all attention to my meal.We all enjoyed our meal, my mom and Diana, conversing about their own stuff while I kept pondering over what Clara told me.My eyes occasionally landed on her. Her date was an older man, dressed in black suit and was quite handsy, I mean I could see everything from where I sat.He was the affectionate type, his hands on her laps as he leaned into her whi

Rosette's POV "You shouldn't have spoken to her like that, she just said what everyone was probably thinking as well" Mom whined, pushing the door open as i followed behind her."It's not about what she said, it's how she said it mom, this kind of people do the worst things and yet they are so eager to point out the bad in others, it's just not nice at all" I explained."You are in lecture mode today Rose and I don't understand that, all I know is that you were being rude to Diana and her son, this shouldn't have caused a fight between you and Caleb" she added again, turning on the lights."Please don't give me a list of things I shouldn't do, I know everything you did today was all her idea, which was crazy and uncalled for" I retorted."I had fun, that was the main point of it all" she defended."But that's not who you are mom, you are not a typical suburban housewife, okay? And I don't want you to be, I don't want Diana reflecting that on you, cause I can see the signs already and

Rosette's POV.It's been three days since the terrible lunch group date and of me successfully avoiding Rowland, after Caleb told me the truth I had sent a message to Rowland, telling him that I wished he told me about everything himself.For two solid reasons, one because I didn't know how to face him, also because I had no idea if I could trust him anymore.Plus I was torn. I knew I had to break things off with Caleb but how to do so was another thing and I was scared.Rowland got rid of Isabel just for Caleb's sake, when he finds out about everything I have done, I doubt I would be able to face his hatred.I could handle the disappointment from my mom, the pain she would go through, the betrayal, hell yes, I could handle anything and I was sure of that but one thing I feared that might shatter me for good was Rowland.How he would feel about this was unpredictable as he is, and for that reason alone I was stalling and my mom kept talking about meeting Caleb again and again, plus sh

Damon's POV "So...how did you spend your day?"I asked, leaning on the kitchen counter as I devoured my order, night burgers. "Well, with Rowland and mom," she answered, taking a huge bite out of it."Rowland? He came over?" I questioned again."Yes he did, we had to sort out some things about Caleb and you know..." She explained."Was Susan home?" Damon asked."Yes, she's been home since, what's happening?" I threw back at him."Well, I don't know, but I have been thinking of talking to her concerning therapy, it would speed up the process I guess" Damon stated."You have been thinking? On your own?""Yes...""Well I thought you guys came to a common ground concerning that issue but I'm extremely glad that I'm unaware of it and I would like to remain so" she pointed out."Oh...are you serious?" I asked, closing my laptop."Yes, very seriously, I just wish there was something I could do with my time, now that I don't have college anymore, I would probably lose it like my mom.." I an

Rosette's POV.The next day I woke up extremely happy, feeling lighter than previous days. Maybe because I was with Damon till late night, we moved from the kitchen to the living room and decided to watch a documentary while he gave brief details on the going project, proper details to be precise. But I was excited, I don't know which was more thrilling, the fact that I was going to be working with and for Damon or all the crazy things we got to do with that time.But regardless, I looked forward to it, I mean, I couldn't wait for Monday to come, but in the heat of all this, my mom doesn't know anything about it yet, and the chances she would agree were slim.So I needed to get my fact together while presenting this to her, before seeking for Damon's help, I mean I couldn't afford to spend the whole summer, wasting with her, stuck with a particular routine and I at this point, I hated the fact that she had less work to do at the office, cause she did nothing other than talk my ears o

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

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
