AT DONOVAN CAR ENTERPRISE,Charles paced around in his office. Taylor wasn't back, and an hour had gone."What the heck was she still doing there, could Rose have done something to her", Charles thought worriedly."Shit", he cursed at the thought of Rose doing something bad to Taylor. Grabbing his car keys, Charles headed for the door but stopped when the door opened and Taylor walked in with an exhausted look on her face."Taylor", Charles rushed over to her, scanning her body.Kate was taken back at Charles' action, "what was he doing?", She thought confused.Charles let out a sign in relief, "She was fine no harm done", he thought. He looked up at Kate who gave him a quizzical look."You were gone for long, I thought Rose had hurt you", Charles explained.Kate let out an "ohh". "I'm m fine as you can see, she didn't do anything to me", she said, slumping on the nearest sofa, her eyes closed, massaging her temples."Then what took you so long?", Charles asked."I ran into grandpa",
"Then make me yours", Charles said hoarsely, wrapping his arms around Kate's waist pulling her closer to him.Kate suddenly forgot how to breathe, their closeness was driving her crazy. The lust in his eyes turned her on. "No Kate get yourself together", she chided, she looked away, letting out an awkward cough.Realizing what he was doing, Charles removed his hands from her waist, not able to look at her. "I'm sorry", he apologized, his desire had gotten the better part of him.Kate nodded, standing up not trusting herself to speak, why did her heart suddenly feel heavy because she stopped Charles. The air in the room became awkward, neither of them looking at each other.Kate cleared her throat, looking at Charles. "I found it", she blurted out.Charles stared at her confused, his eyebrows raised questioning."The blueprints"."Really?"Charles asked surprised, Kate nodded in response."Let's go meet Gracie to tell her, so we'll think of how to get it", Kate suggested.Charles nodded
THE NEXT DAY. Rose kept her suitcase in her car, got in and drove out of the city. She didn't bother telling her adoptive parents she won't be in the city for the weekend. It was a 2 hour drive to her cottage, as it was in the suburbs of the city, where she grew up. Rose finally got there, taking out her suitcase then stared at the supposed cottage, which was actually a 2-storey building, not the kind of house you see in the suburbs. She walked to the door, turning the knob but it was locked. "Wasn't he home? She had informed him, She was coming today", Rose thought confused. Taking out the spare key with her, she opened the door and walked in. The house was quiet like no one was in. Rose closed the door, there was one place she knew he would be in. Leaving her suitcase in the living room, she made her way to the basement and sure enough she saw him there, engrossed in whatever he was doing on his laptop. "Steve", she called out, but the man didn't notice her presence. Rose w
"Are you trying to defend her?", Gabriel eyed his son-in-law. "No, I am just saying we shouldn't jump into any conclusion, she might have a valid reason for doing so", Nathaniel explained. "Give me an example of a valid reason", Gabriel demanded but Nathaniel couldn't come up with any, making the old man hiss. "Even if they are her shares, I'm going to find out who she gave them to, cause I don't trust that girl one bit", Gabriel said, standing up. Nathaniel held the paper with a puzzled expression on his face. "I won't hesitate to kick her out of the business, if she's planning something bad", Gabriel said in a serious tone before walking out. Nathaniel signed, his mind thinking of different possibilities why Rose would have given her shares to someone else. And he couldn't ask her because she wasn't in the city. The door to the study opened and Tiffany walked in. Seeing how her father left the study with a frown she could sense something was wrong. "What's wrong?" She asked
AT DONOVAN'S CAR ENTERPRISE.“Where are they?”Alexander groaned, as he paced around in Charles' office.He was meant to be sleeping now but because Charles and Kate needed his help to sneak into Rose's office he was there but the two people in question hadn't arrived.“Be patient, they'll be here soon”, Gracie hissed.“Easy for you to say, I am missing my sleep”, Alexander whined, making Gracie roll her eyes.“How did she get stuck with Alex, and was going to be with him for the whole night, till Charles and Taylor had successfully completed their mission”, she thought, rubbing her forehead”.The door to the office opened and two people stepped in.“Finally you guys are here”, Alexander signed in relief.“Woah! you guys really do look like secret agents going to infiltrate a company”, Alexander exclaimed, staring between the two of them. “If I didn't know better, I would have thought you guys were spies or assassins in your past life”.Charles and Kate looked at each other, both dress
“Taylor, Charles are you in?, I can't see anything”, Alexander asked.“Yes Alex, we're in. Don't worry there are no CCTV cameras in Rose's office, we'll take it from here”, Kate answered.“What a weird lady, who doesn't put CCTV cameras in their office”, Alexander commented.Charles handed Kate a torchlight.“Thanks' “, Kate whispered, taking it from him. Then walked to the bookshelf where she found the blueprints while Charles looked around the office.“Have got them”, Kate said with a triumphant smile, Charles walked over to her.“Great, time for you guys to get out of there…”, Alexander said.“Not yet”, Kate interrupted.“What do you mean not yet!”, Alexander exclaimed.“Why don't we check around, we might find more clues about the accident”, Kate suggested.“But…the longer you guys stay there, the higher the risk of getting got”, Alexander said exasperatedly.“He's got a point”, Gracie said.Kate gave Charles a pleading look, they might not have this opportunity to sneak into Rose
IN CHARLES' OFFICE Charles sat on the sofa while Kate burst out laughing. “What a dumb guard”, she thought. “That was really close”, Gracie stated. “Yeah but thanks to Taylor quick thinking”, Alexander said laughing. “Ghost, who believes in that. Am I right Charles?”, He turned to Charles as the latter gave him a deadly glare making him gulp. “We almost got caught because of you”, Charles said, causing Alexander to shrink in fear. Charles pulled Kate towards him causing her to sit on his lap, his arm around her waist. “Thanks to you we weren't caught”, he added smiling, as Kate smiled back. Alexander stared at the both of them shocked, his eyes literally popping out of their sockets. “How did you know the guard will fall for it?”Charles asked curiously. “Well, he was very scared, so I figured he would believe whatever I say”, Kate answered. “And he did”, Charles said. “Yeah, he did”, Kate nodded, chuckling. She hadn't had this much fun in a very long time. Alexander still
“What happened?”.“Please let's just stay like this for some time”, Charles answered in a low tone.Kate slowly wrapped her arm around Charles, they stayed like that for some time.Charles raised his head cupping Kate's face, while his other hand wrapped around her waist tightly.Kate stared at Charles confused. “Is something wrong?”, she asked in a whisper.Charles stared at her lips, letting out a low groan trying to fight his desire but couldn't. “Can I?”, He whispered, rubbing her lower lip.Kate breathing hitched, she nodded her head slowly.Charles bent down, capturing her lips, kissing her slowly. His arm wrapped around her waist, Kate wrapped her arm around his neck.He kissed her slowly and passionately, like lovers, gently sucking and nibbling on her lips. They parted from the kiss to catch their breath. Charles cupped her chin gazing at her lovingly.“She was beautiful”, he thought to himself, as her sapphire eyes twinkled under the moonlight. He captured her lips once more
“You did it!” Catherine cheered, as she glanced at Kate.“Yh I did”, Kate grinned.“You've successfully ruined Rose and Kyle's image. You need to see the comments, the netizens are going wild”, Catherine added. “How did you do it anyway?”.“I've got some tricks up my sleeves”, she smirked. “And she might have had some help from Alex”, she didn't say the other part out loud.“Had she probably gone overboard by getting their s*tape”, she thought, sceptic. "Maybe".“I wonder what your family and the Donovan’s will say once they see the post and video”, Catherine said, bringing Kate out of her thoughts.Catherine was right, what would they say? Her mind had completely skipped that part.Now that she thought about it, would her grandpa kick Rose out of the house which meant she won't be part of the family anymore - she hoped not. She still hadn't gotten her revenge on Rose. And the Donovan’s, will they call off the engagement? Charles won't be engaged to Rose anymore.“And then you can hav
Bryan and Stephanie made their way to the garden, not finding Old Man Donovan in his room. A maid informed them she had seen Old Man Donovan in the garden, and there he was sitting on the rocking chair, drinking his favorite green tea.Taking cautious steps towards him, when the old man spoke, stopping them in their tracks.“I know why you're here”. He had been expecting them after all.Both husband and wife glanced at each other, before taking hurried steps towards him. “Father you need to call off the engagement”, Stephanie was the first to speak.“And why's that?” Ryn asked nonchalantly, not bothering to look at them. His gaze focused on the flower field in front of him.“Dad you won't be pleased if I tell you this but…”, Bryan spoke this time.“I've seen the post son”. Ryn confessed, interrupting his son, rather calmly much to their surprise.“And?” Stephanie asked nervously, feeling uneasy about her father-in-law's composure. “Or was it just the calm before the storm”.“Yes__”.
“Kyle”, Rose frowned, sitting up. The duvet wrapped loosely around her chest, showing off her cleavage.Kyle turned to face his bed at the mention of his name, spotting Rose, very much naked under the duvet, her hair messy, and hickeys on her collarbone – he bet there were all over her body – a sign of what happened last night.He let out another curse, running his hand through his hair before turning to a displeased Rose. “He was really done for now”, he thought.“There's a problem”, he said, his eyes not leaving Rose as he buttoned his shirt.“Problem?” Rose asked, not understanding. Was that why he was leaving so early without having his bath first!. “If it was his problem why was he telling her?”“Yes”, Kyle answered, grabbing his car keys, not waiting to explain the problem to Rose.“Check your phone”, was the last thing he said before leaving the room, making a confused Rose more pissed.“What was it with him this morning”, she hissed, running her hands through her messy hair.
If Old Man Andino had really thrown her out of the house, she won't still be going to the office, and it would have made the headline - ADOPTED DAUGHTER AND FUTURE HEIRESS OF THE ANDINO FAMILY KICKED OUT OF THE ANDINO'S MANSION - but there was no such headline so it had to be the latter.“Rose had left the house to live with Kyle, interesting - now that will make a headline”.The video Catherine took would be really useful but she needed more - a video of them in the act. They had been having sex under everyone's noses, time for the whole world to find out.“Then the Donovan's will have to call off the engagement. Charles won't be engaged to Rose anymore and he'll be yours”, a voice sang in her head.Kate swore her heart fluttered at the thought, and even did a happy dance in her head. She shook her head to brush off the thought.“It will also be a good present for her ex best friend and ex boyfriend”.“What do you plan on doing?” Catherine asked, bringing Kate out of her thoughts.“E
Gripping the steering wheel, imagining she was strangling Curl’s neck, no, his d*ck, castrating him. Let's see if he'll still be cocky, when he's stripped off his manhood.She was heading straight home to soak herself in a long honey and milk bath, the thought made her ease her grip on the steering wheel. And that was exactly what she did.Catherine got into her room, kicking off her shoes, her clothes soon followed after, forming a pile beneath her feet. She walked out of her clothes, careful not to step on them. Getting the bathtub ready, not bothering to go about her ritual like she normally would, soaking herself in. The face of a devastating handsome man popped in her head. Curly dirty blonde hair, hazel eyes, pointed nose, defined jawline, clean shaven. Yeah, she noticed and so what.And yeah it was because of his curly hair she nicknamed him Curl. Yes! She was bad at coming up with nicknames, not her fault.He wasn't as handsome as Kate's Handsome Devil – Charles. Still he was
Kate closed her eyes and then opened them again in an attempt to shut the voice in her head.“If anyone is going to know how Rose got the virus and who sold it to her, it's her”, she reasoned. “If we can find out who bought the virus, and gave it to Rose. Then we'll be able to prove that Rose was behind the accident, and not some brake failure”.The others nodded in agreement at Kate's reasoning, but Charles still had a contemplating look on his face.Kate turned her front to Charles, taking both his hands in hers. “You want justice for Kate don't you? Then do it for her and my sake”, she coaxed softly.“And maybe this might be your chance to have Rose out of your life permanently”, she added, only to their hearing.“Taylor was right. This might be the solution he was looking for to end his engagement with Rose. If he could get solid evidence that she was behind Kate's accident as they suspected, the engagement will be called off. Deal or no deal”.“Fine I'll go”, Charles cupped the s
Andrew?” Charles asked, as they rode the elevator to the cave unlike the first time Charles had driven them there with his car. “Yes”, she answered with a nod “Work?”. Kate nodded again, their conversation ending, neither of them spoke again as silence took over. The elevator stopped with a ding, they both walked out, going deeper into the cave to find Alexander and Gracie already waiting for them. “There they are”. Alexander was the first to notice their presence. Gracie turned to look at them suspiciously, not saying a word. Kate avoided Gracie suspicious look, she didn't need the latter to speak to know what was going on in her mind “So Alex, why did you call us here?”. “Good question Taylor”. “Get to the point”, Charles hissed. “Buzzkill”, Alexander muttered. “Last time we were able to conclude that a virus is the cause of Kate's accident”. “Which we confirmed with the real test report”, he added, turning to wink at Kate. “So?” Gracie probbed, a bored expression on he
“Kyle and Rose together”, the thought didn't sit well with her. Heck! Whatever Rose did she found it suspicious.“They were Kate's ex boyfriend and best friend, not anymore anyways”.Kate herself hadn't told her Kyle was her ex or if she had a boyfriend before her accident. She had come across a picture of them on social media. They both looked intimate in it, ‘Happy anniversary to my fav couple’, was the caption beneath it, and that was how she found out.“Too bad he turned out to be a jerk too”.Catherine was about walking away, when she heard the faint unmistakable sound of a moan. It wasn't loud but loud enough for her to guess the sound.She walked closer to the door, placing her ear to it.“She knew ease-dropping was bad, but this was about Rose!”.She heard the sound again, this time more clearly, followed by the groan of a man.“They were having sex”, the thought registered in her head, shock written all over her face, turning to a mortified expression.“Rose was having an af
At FastTech Limited.Catherine knocked on Rose's office door, not waiting for a response before walking into the empty office, a file in her hand.Rose's secretary, Stacy, had already told her beforehand Rose wasn't in her office. "Perfect!”.She glanced at the CCTV camera with the corner of her eye. She just had to find a way to switch the earrings without making it look suspicious.Kate's words replayed in her head. “There are CCTV cameras in Rose's office, switching the earring will be difficult but possible you just have to make it look like an accident”.“She just had to find where Rose kept the earring”, she said to herself. “She had a strong feeling it was in one of her drawers”.Catherine walked to the side of Rose's desk, placing the file on it, knocking over a stapler with her elbow in the process, causing it to fall.“Shit!” She exclaimed, squatting to pick it, hiding her grin. She quickly opened the drawers, trying not to make a sound.“Found you”, taking out the jewelry
