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
Damon's POV."Why are you looking at me like that?" I threw at Susan as I returned with the food box."Because I have a feeling you put Rose into this, it's your idea right?" Susan answered, rolling her eyes as she stood up as well, walking towards the cabinet."Mom! Damon only offered and it was a great idea, what would you rather have me do for the summer? Bartend at a club or what?" Rose interrupted."As if, you? In a club please...you cannot stand a place like that and that aside, I don't know, I thought you were going to tune into your artistic skills this summer...I had no idea that you would want to work, considering how much you hate my job" Susan defended."Hate your job? Mom get over your head I don't hate your job, I just hate that you put it above everything else, and you know that" Rose countered, opening the refrigerator as she brought out three bottles of water and at the same time Susan returned to the table with the plates and cutleries."Well, there is a term called
Rosette POVWith everyone out for their own work, I grabbed my laptop and notepad and began my task for the day. I started with the CV and I thought it would be quite easy, but it wasn't.I made several drafts with different fonts and yet I couldn't settle for the best one, so I emailed both of them to Damon so he could pick the best.I waited for five minutes but there was no response from him and so I figured out he must be quite busy and so I moved onto the next task.YouTube videos.Which I found very boring and along the line I fell asleep.A loud blaring sound broke out jolting me from my sleep as I flew out of the couch, dropping my notepad on the floor."Fuck fuck" I cursed out loud, tapping random keys on my laptop to stop the sound until it stopped."Arghh" I groaned, looking around, a video was still playing on the screen, my phone beside it and the snacks tray was on the floor.My eyes landed on the clock and my mouth fell open, it was almost three!Fuck.I jumped up, gath
Rosette POV"You both made me race here for nothing" I said, settling on the floor."For nothing? We have been planning this for days..." Rowland countered, handing a cup of iced lemonade to me, exactly what I needed."Huh really? Then instead of agreeing to meet me at the cafe you should have just changed location or something" I replied."Where is the fun in that? Well with the way you came rushing, it's evident you care about Caleb, so.. actions over words right?" Rowland said.At this point I had no idea if I should be grateful that Rowland was here, also because he was been to cheesy, which was off for him.I liked the surprise, the effort and all just that I wasn't ready for it mentally, I thought I would just meet Caleb at the cafe and we would talk things out and get over everything, have a burger or two which wouldn't take so much time.But from the looks of it, it seems like I would be spending the rest of my day here, it best I update Damon about this recent development.I
Damon's POV"So she put some sense into you?" Nathan asked, looking at me with a serious expression on his face."I just did what I felt was right at that moment" I answered,. flipping through the pages of my file."Why do I feel like there is more to this than you are trying to water it down? I literally told you the same thing but you refused" Nathan Insisted.Ever since he found out that I returned home, he's been pestering me with calls and messages which I refused to respond to because I knew that Diego must have influenced his thoughts and I had no strength to deal with them.But after the important meeting today, Nathan caught up with me and I had no opportunity to escape other than entertain him.But then he wouldn't stop tapping about it, over and over again."It's only because you tend to over analyze everything, nothing else, wait a minute don't you have a life or something to do?" I threw back at him."Hmmm, I'm here, helping you through your sad times and yet you don't ev
Damon's POV "Fuck" I cursed out loud, my groin stirring as I closed the door gently and at the same time, our gaze met and then she froze.Halting all her movements at once."Why are you stopping?" I asked, removing my coat while walking towards the bed."It's not my imagination right? You are here" she said, almost breathless as her eyes widened looking at me."Yes, I'm here and I want you to continue" I urged her, unbuttoning my shirt."I have been waiting, why don't you finish me off, I want to cum screaming your name" She answered.I dragged my eyes all over her body slowly, drinking her in, as she writhed on the bed, spreading her legs even wider.Whatever it is she has consumed, it completely changed her, and I couldn't wait to ravage her completely.Rosette's POV.I felt high.So high like no one could reach me, like I was floating in the air but I was so horny that even the slightest friction of my body and the bed, sent shivers to my clit.Everything felt so strange that I h
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
