George’s POV

I found myself working late in the office once again.

The company had a busy day filled with business meetings, and I had been invited to a business dinner. I didn't want to go alone, so I would have to try to convince Susan to accompany me, even though I knew she wasn't a fan of business parties.

My phone rang, and I saw 'Julius' on the caller ID. It was unusual for Julius to call me; usually, I was the one reaching out to him when I needed something. His call implied that he had something important to discuss or report.

I asked, "What's going on, Julius? Do you have any updates on what we discussed?"

He replied, "Not yet, boss, but there's something else I need to report."

"What is it?"

"It's about Rose. My sources informed me that she returned to the city quietly a few months ago, but we couldn't pinpoint her exact location. Recently, we spotted her working as a waitress in a bar."

    Sebastian’s POVAnger and pain! That was exactly the two emotions I was feeling right now.“Who did this to you?” I asked Mason."Who's responsible for this, Mason?" I questioned again, my voice filled with concern.Mason hesitated and tried to hide and cover up his sleeves. My frustration boiled over, and I shouted, "Tell me, Mason! Who hurt you?"Driven by anger, I lifted him and ripped his pajama shirt to reveal his bruised body. Tears welled up in his eyes as I saw the painful beating marks on Mason's body. Some were recent, while others seemed older and partially healed."Mason, please, tell me who did this," I pleaded, my voice trembling as tears threatened to spill.The poor boy also started crying and explained, "This is why I ran away from home. I didn't want to tell you, to avoid causing a rift between you and her."I couldn't believe it. "Wait a second, are you saying Louisa did this to you?" I asked in disbelief."Not her, but the guys she brought home," Mason explained.

Something didn't feel right, so I drove to the factory.When I arrived, I scanned the area, looking for Rose."Surprise to see you here. I didn't expect that," Rose said from the upper floor of the factory."I could say the same about you, Rose. What brings you to this city?" I asked as I started climbing the stairs to reach her."Funny you are asking now. I never thought you cared about me. I remember calling you for money when you left me stranded, but what did you do?

I see you have come to pick Isabella up?" "Yes, I am sorry I came a bit late, I got carried away with some chores in the house." It wasn't really an excuse as to why I came late to pick my daughter up from school, but I couldn't tell Juliana that I had taken an afternoon nap and overslept. "That's not a problem, Isabella is actually playing with some of her friends over there," she pointed at the playground. "Guess you are not the only one running late today." We both laughed, and then she proceeded to say, "Susan, if you don't mind, I won't really spend much of your time though, but there is something I would love to discuss with you." "Okay, I actually do not mind. I hope everything is fine?" "Oh, sure. You don't need to worry about anything." She replied.Juliana found a secluded spot somewhere we coul

I teased."Can someone explain what's happening here, and why do you have my child?" Susan demanded, her voice rising."Shut up! Don't talk to my Mistress like that!" George snapped, defending me.

But for your safety and Isabella's, it's best if you stay away from him.”I agreed and quickly called the school.“I have to go pick up my daughter from school.

Mr. Stephen was almost assassinated last night?"Mr. Stephen, we have no idea what you're talking about. What happened to you?" Mr. Smith asked, feigning ignorance."You want to play dumb, right? Because you and your friends knew I had evidence of your embezzlement in the company, you tried to assassinate me.
