“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.
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__”.
“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
"Arghh!", Kate screamed in fear. She was in an out of control car - her car.She stomped her foot on the brake paddle desperately, but still nothing happened, pressed the button of the car glass but the window didn't roll down. "This was crazy", she thought, panicking.The car drove into the woods, with no sign of stopping, they were already far away from city S.The moon was the only source of light, as the car drove deeper into the forest, speeding through the tree branches and driving on the rocky dirt road. Kate held onto the steering wheel for dear life, bending her head whenever a tree branch hit the car's windshield. "How had she gotten into this mess", she thought hopelessly, her eyes red and puffy from crying. Kate gripped the steering wheel tightly, the fear in her eyes turned to hatred, "Kyle, you son of a bitch", she cursed slamming her hand hard on the steering wheel before running it through her already messy hair, as tears streamed down her cheeks.Kate was the only
4 years afterThe night was black, the moon shone brightly as a Ferrari S430 drove into the Andino mansion stopping at the front porch.The driver door opened, a woman stepped out one foot over another. Wearing a black formal pencil dress stopping at her knee, pairing it with black pumps,her designer bag casually hung on her shoulder and her black short bob styled neatly, she screamed of money.She cat-walked her way to the double front doors, and casually threw the car keys to the chauffeur standing at the door who caught it effortlessly, then helped her to open the door."Mum, dad am home", the woman announced ,as she slumped on the nearest sofa,tired."Rose!", Tiffany said happily walking out the kitchen with an apron tied around her. Though they had a chef, Tiffany liked cooking herself sometimes."How was work?", Tiffany asked, heading back to the kitchen."Tiring," Rose confessed."Sorry dear, why don't you freshen up, dinner will be ready soon", Tiffany shouted."Sure mum", Ros
3pm, the next day, Saturday. At city S.Kate alighted the plane, the wind flew past her hair, she breathed in the air making her nostalgic. This was her birthplace, her home. The sun was high in the sky making everywhere hot, it was the dry season. Kate wore a blue sleeveless top with a keyhole neckline pairing it with a white jean leggings and blue Adidas sneakers , she packed her hair neatly into a ponytail with her shades on.Her portable hand bag casually hung on her shoulder while she dragged her suitcase. Kate looked around the airport, the airport had really changed compared to 4 years ago.Kate looked for an exit, she turned to her front when someone suddenly bumped into her - a woman, making her stumble back a little as she heard a cracking sound."Hey can't you watch where you are going!", Kate heard the woman scream in annoyance catching other people's attention."That voice, she knew that voice all too well", Kate thought as she slowly looked up to see the person she bump
At the Andino mansion "Care to explain this young lady", Nathaniel demanded in a harsh tone, frightening Rose. This was the first time he had spoken to her in such a manner."She's the one who started it", Rose defended."Really Rose, every single thing was recorded. And you still dare lie to me", Nathaniel shouted in anger. Tiffany held her fuming husband trying to pacify him."Nath you have to calm down", Tiffany coaxed."How can I calm down Tiffany, have you read the comments!","Yes I have, but shouting at her just makes it worse", Tiffany tried to reason with her husband."No it's necessary Tiffany, so she'll know what she did was wrong", Nathaniel said angrily.Rose didn't pay attention to the couple as she was in her own world. Looking at the headline again, staring at Kate a little longer"."She got humiliated today and also shouted at by Nathaniel all because of that woman. She was going to make sure she pays", Rose swore.MeanwhileKate took the taxi to her apartment at the
8:00amKate drove to a cafe, she was able to convince Felix not to follow her.She parked her car and got in, taking a table. She ordered coffee and cookies. Kate was munching on her cookies when she heard a commotion."What do you mean, you can't deliver it. I came here because you guys serve the best coffee and cookies and you’re telling me you can't make the delivery", the woman shouted, annoyed, disturbing the other customers, as the lady behind the counter shrank in fear."Who could be making so much noise in the morning?" Kate thought, annoyed as she turned to look at the counter. It was Rose, wearing a red suit, pants and jacket pairing it with pump heels."Wasn't she meant to be at the office, what was she doing at the coffee shop alone this early", Kate thought as she stared at Rose then spotted someone with her.Apparently she wasn't, judging by the way the lady beside Rose dressed, she must be her secretary. What could they both be doing here?"Sorry ma'am, there is an iss
“You did it!” Catherine cheered, as she glanced at Kate.“Yh I did”, Kate grinned.“You've successfully ruined Rose and Kyle's image.

“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.

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
