One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Sleeping Pills.
Rosette's POV."I will tell you everything you need to know, next time, you are worried sick about your mom and we shouldn't delay any further right?""Yes," I answered."Hop on then"We mounted the bike and Rowland took off, after he was sure that I was comfortable, I took a last glance at his home, before dragging my eyes away to concentrate on the road.We couldn't talk much due to the cold breeze. Also, Rowland had this serious expression while driving and I didn't want to distract him.In less than twenty minutes, my house came in view and my heart beat increased tremendously. I tried not to overthink the situation and hoped that my mom was still asleep.The lights were still off, which could mean two things, either good news or not.I hopped off the bike while removing the helmet and then handed it over to Rowland."You don't need to walk me to the house," I said."You didn't even let me offer, can't wait to get rid of me?" He threw back at me."Are you serious right now? I woul

Rosette POV."Whatever I did was wrong, I'm so repentant about it, but I won't put my life on hold like this, do you like seeing me that way and why are you standing at the door like a statue?" My mom's loud voice rang out as she descended the stairs.It was obvious that she was greatly pissed because of what I said to her earlier but repeating it in front of Damon?I raised my eyes to look at him as his brows deepened, looking across my shoulders. "Umm, you should come in," I said softly."I shouldn't have come here," he replied instead."But you are here already, right?""Who is it Rose? Why are you taking so much time?" Mom yelled again.I closed my eyes, shaking my head as I opened the door wider so she could see and keep her mouth shut."Da..mon?" She stuttered as she froze in her steps."Yes Damon" I added, stepping away from the door, as I ran my hand through my hair."Baby you are back, you are here" My mom said, her tone filled with disbelief."I'm here but you are about to

Damon's POV.Fucked up!Everything is fucked up and insane.Why am I here in the first place? One thing was definitely sure and I shouldn't have come back.I took a quick sweep across the entire room, it was surprisingly clean, everything put together and nothing amiss.I sat on the edge of the bed, burying my head in my hands, as a soft sigh escaped my lips.Everything has been out of control ever since, I found out about Susan's recent deeds.I felt lost.Out of place and just disorganized. But she? She was even ready to go to work.Decked up like everything was normal.I let myself get carried away with all of Rose's emotional talks and I returned, which was a great mistake on my part."Can I come in?" I heard a voice, followed by a small knock on the door pulling me out of my thoughts.Before I could reply, the door opened even wider and Rose stepped in, carrying a tray of coffee and muffins, the aroma of the hot freshly brewed coffee hit my nostrils."Why are you here?" I asked,

Rosette's POV."You don't get to tell me to leave when you are here for me! You don't get to push and pull me away at your convenience" I yelled at him.I tried. I tried so much to hold it in and not break in front of him but I was tired, drained and exhausted.I was trying so much to put us together, and all he did was rip us apart, again and again."I'm done! So fucking done with you and this whole thing, I'm trying to stand by you, to help you get over this whole thing but you aren't letting me, I can't force you okay? So yeah I'm done!" I lashed out, turning to leave before I burst out in tears.I had fucking exams by twelve and I was right here, playing what card now?Just as I opened the door to walk out, I heard a small thud from behind followed by a soft voice that could pass on as a whisper."I'm sorry Rose, please stay..."When I turned again, Damon was on his knees, with his head bowed, utterly broken.Unfortunately, I couldn't keep the tears from falling and so I just let

Rosette's POV "I don't know what has gotten into him, I mean I thought you told him what you knew about the incident only for him to repeat the same thing over and over again" I said, pushing the keys into the door.After Caleb burst out, I left the college angrily, drove as fast as I could while trying to call Rowland, it wasn't until I got him, before the call finally connected, and to add to my frustration, the door was locked.I had no idea if it was from inside or outside and honestly? I couldn't care less.My saving grace was that my mom attached the house spare keys to my car keys, the most thoughtful thing she has done this month amongst many other untoward things.Rowland was on the receiving end of my anger concerning the whole thing with Caleb, and I don't know if he found it amusing, because in his words I could sense how bad he suppressed his laughter and it just made me feel foolish in a way.Are they both playing with me? Is this a way to get back at me for something I

Rosette's POV A shirtless Caleb was the surprise."I'm sorry" I blurted out, turning around to back him."You?""I'm sorry, I had no idea that you would be...""What are you even doing here?" Caleb asked"Can you put on a shirt at least, I can wait outside" I stated."No need for that, you can turn around now" he said."Okay" the word slipped out of my mouth as I turned slowly facing him this time around."I'm sorry, I should have..." "But you didn't, you still haven't answered me" he said, cutting me short."Okay...can you give me a break at least? I know you are pissed, and angry with me and I'm only here to solve that, so please don't be a dick!" I countered, walking further into his room."Me...? A dick?""A metaphor Caleb, but that's not the point, look I'm really sorry about what happened at college, I lost my cool and said somethings, which weren't nice but on getting home, I did a lot of reflection and I have a question to ask." I started again.Caleb looked at me from head

Rosette's POV."We became best friends after that," Caleb replied."What? I don't understand any of this. Can you please explain?" I asked."Rowland was new in town, we knew each other but we weren't so close, actually Rowland used to work at my uncle's workshop and some times I was there, you know learning a few, we used to hàng out but Rowland wasn't constant, he was in and out of town but we kept in touch, the Friday before that party I got a message from him saying he was coming back and all... just for me to see that" He explained."Wow that's odd...but then how did you react to that?" I probed further."Here comes the revelation, i created a big scene, got into a fist fight with Rowland, he didn't even defend himself once, he just let me attack, some guys separated us and I confronted Isabel, then she confessed, she told me that, she was just stringing me all along, all she wanted was Rowland, she was obsessed with him and I was a gateway for that, innocent Rowland, he had no id

Damon's POV.I came downstairs to grab a bottle of water when I noticed Rose's bag on the couch and so I figured out she was back.I stayed in the study throughout the day trying to put one and two together before night.Once I was done taking the water and the snacks I needed, I waited for a short while for her to return but there was no sight of her coming back which was quite strange.I tried calling her but her phone was laying on the couch as well and so I thought she probably forgot something and hurried back to get it, with that thought in mind, I headed upstairs again.Not until I heard a loud thud coming from downstairs and when I rushed down, I met a crying Rose by the door.It took about twenty minutes to get Rose to calm down and when she did, I just held her in my arms, waiting for her to put herself together."Last night...after I left your place, it started raining and I was under the rain, aimless and all but then Rowland found me, he took me to his place, I had dinner

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

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
