Lilian's POVShe did all these because of jealousy, how can Evelyn be so callous? Talking to myself after she left my office. The thought of her misbehavior surprised me.Picking my phone from the table, my fingers gripping the phone and called Rosa, she didn't pick the call. I left my phone on the table and focus on my office work. My mind actually begins to have a second thought about Evelyn working here with me. Outside friendship, I had wanted to sack her for what she did. Thinking about my safety, Evelyn is not a good person to be found around me. I kept pondering when my phone rang, “Oh, that's Rosa.” I whispered with a soft tone.“Hey, babe!” She said, sounding curious like she has been yearning for me. “Hi, how are you, and Donald?” I asked inquisitively, smiling all alone in my office. My eyes scanning all over my office. “We are very much okay. We are back to city A.” She replied, laughing profusely at the background of the phone. I guess she and Donald are having a nice t
Rosa's POVAs I stood in front of my big mansion, I took a deep breath and allowed the cool evening air to brush against my face. As the sun's golden rays reflected off the glass windows, my silk scarf fluttered in the wind, glistening like liquid gold. Well, there were many exotic cars at the driveway, all of them were expensive cars. My eyes kept on the brand-new Maybach, which was Donald's most recent gift to me after the honeymoon.I whispered to myself, I am so fortunate to have a husband like Donald, and a smile slowly appeared on my lips.As I walked down the marble stairs, I took in the beauty all around. Everything was perfect, from the manicured lawns to the faint scent of roses in the garden. My phone vibrated in my pocket just as I reached the final step. I pulled it out and frowned at the screen. Lilian? We had just spoken a short while ago.A strange feeling crept into my chest.I hesitated for a second before responding. “Lilian?” My tone was smooth and calm.But as soo
Evelyn's uncle left quietly without a word, the expression on his face looked frightening. Looking at Lilian's face, she glanced back at me. We had no choice but to calmly followed him. “Greetings, please show me the room my little niece who was shot is.” He frantically asked a nurse, immediately he stopped, we also stopped without hesitation. The nurse was so busy with what she was doing but gave attention to us. “Two people were brought here with the same case, can you tell me her name please?” She replied with soft tone.With a heavy heart, he replied anxiously, “Evelyn, yes, Evelyn Ronney.” “Keep going straight, the room opposite the fourth room by the left.” The nurse replied without hesitation and quickly left to answer a call. He still refused to talk to us, he moved immediately the nurse directed him. Finally, we arrived to the fourth room as directed by the nurse. He turned back and saw us coming, he faced front and turned to his left hand and entered her private room. I t
“Who is the devil, who is trying to kill me? Who the hell is that?” thinking while I placed my coffee cup on the table. My head was racing with questions as I leaned back and rested against Donald's thigh.Currently, I don't know how or what to do, I let out a sigh “Probably, Evelyn should have woken up, I can't wait to see and discuss with her. I must see her again. Why is Donald refusing me?” I pondered.When Donald looked up from his phone, he knew I would say something. “What did you say?” His forehead wrinkled as he examined me.My fingers were wrapped around his fingers, the warmth of his fingers made me fell comfortable. “Seriously, I have a lot to think about.” I had to confessed to him.Donald, never removed his eyes from me. “Really, okay, tell me like what?” He said with a serious look and a demanding genuine response.I'm not ready for any argument presently, Donald don't understand the relationship between Evelyn and me. I still insisted, “I am anxious about Evelyn, who
“You told me we are going to a safe house, what the hell is this place called?” I questioned, I have been asking since and no reply.Donald sat quietly beside me, staring at his phone. The driver drove very fast, his eyes focused on the road. After a quiet moment he responded, “Calm down I can't hurt you. I'm I not your husband? When we arrived, you are going to see the place when we get there.” He said, and continue with what he was doing. I folded my hands, my face squeezed, “This is not my babe, you are so different today. I don't know you anymore.”He kept staring at me, smiled a little. “I told you earlier, you are going to a safe place.” he answered, rubbing my back calmly.“Is a place I built a year ago, I go there once in a while to cool off my head. I built it for a situation like this. I can't lose you mistakenly, if I do, I won't be able to forgive myself.” He continued and felt bad for questioning him.I kept looking at him, “I know you are trying to save me from danger.
Chapter Twenty Four: Donald's POV“You are outstanding, darling, this night was great. It seems we are forced to have another honeymoon.” Rosa chuckled after I said that. Her laughter brings joy to my heart.I cuddled her roundly body after serving her a hot coffee. “You are hilarious, Donald.” She replied, smiling at me, her smile can make someone taste for another round. She quickly lifted her laptop like someone who remembered an important document, she started checking mails. Looking at her precious face, intelligent and beautiful in and out. Who the hell would be after my darling's life? Could the person be after me indirectly? I thought deeply. Rosa's voice brought back attention. “Babe, see what I saw.” I didn't reply. I was lost in my thoughts. She spanked me on My back. “What's the problem?” She asked, giving me a serious look. With a smirk, I answered. “Nothing at all, babe.” I quickly ran to check out what she saw, it was news about the president. I'm not even desirin
Donald's POV“I will call you back, Rod.” I said dropping my phone on the couch. Without wasting time, I ran towards her direction. She was on the floor at the balcony. Some bodyguards were already there, “What happened?” I quickly carried her to the sitting room. Asking for first aid kit.“I fell down and hit my leg.” She continued, “I didn't notice there is a flower vase in front of me.” She said with tears in her eyes.One of the maids in the safe house cleaned her wound and she was taken inside my private room. I joined them immediately.In the room, I still refused to talk to her. I kept myself busy. There were so many business transactions haven't attended to. I started working on them. While on that, I remembered Rodriguez and I were having a serious conversation. I decided to call him back when I'm done because I don't want what will arouse me to make a mistake with any of these documents.As I was busy working, I'm almost done with last document. My phone rang, it was an unk
Donald's POV“Believe it or not is your mom, Mrs. Ronald.” This echoed in my head like a death sentence.I stood up from the chair, my head ached. My heart frozen, my fingers shivering. The cool breeze outside couldn't quench the hotness inside of me. “I can't believe this, it can't be my mom. My precious mother, who birth me, raised me, who built this establishment with my father is now against my wife and indirectly after me.” I pondered all day, trying not accept this.The detective should be able to find the right person involved. Rodriguez should be wrong this time.Facing reality, my mom doesn't like Rosa but not to the extent of plotting her death. My mom is incapable of hurting a fly. Rosa came outside, limping gently towards my direction. I can't tell her this news. How will she feel? Her mother-in-law wanted her to die. No, I can't. I won't inform her. I was about calling my father, Rosa presence changed my mind. “Babe, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hide anything from you
Donald's POVRosa continued, “To top it all, the link to the attempt is from his device. The IP was concealed, but Caleb was able to locate it and opened it. He can't hide it.”Oh my God, how can my uncle be this wicked? He has been the nicest of all in this company. Was he manipulated? I thought. My finger tapping my table.“No!” I shouted, stabbing with my finger. “Uncle……!”Caleb letting out a considerable breath, his eyes shrugging. “Rosa, he is not alone.” He interrupted.“I knew it” Clasping my hands behind my body, our eyes met each other.Caleb and Rosa muted, I kept staring at them. He opened another file. My eyes glazed at the screen. A video clip played immediately. Showing CCTV footage of four days ago. It showed my uncle entering the server room after the working hour.A lady was right behind him.My eyebrows lowered as cold ran through my spine.Rosa zoomed the footage, the image of the lady behind him was visible enough.“Who is the person?” I inquired. My head tilted.
Donald's POVMy chest tightened, my head aches. Who could have invaded my company's IP. This is ridiculous. Rosa was busy tapping on the keyboard without looking at me. The seriousness in her showed it was terrible. The silent atmosphere in my office aroused more panic.“Rosa, how is it?” I inquired curiously. My throat is stiff like something blocked it. She could barely hear me clearly. She muted and didn't respond. I couldn't pretend any longer I went closer to her. She felt my presence and shook her body, she looked me straight in my eyes, but her expressions were not understanding.“Babe, you can't imagine. This is serious.” She muttered. Her eyes widened.The look on her face got me scared. “You mean!” I echoed sharply, tapping my table.“Is an insider!” She yelled.“What? An insider?” My head wrinkled, my jaw opened wide.“Who?” My voice tensed, leaning forward and my arms wrapped around me.Rosa's expression looked dull, her lips opened a little. She raised her brows. “I can't
Donald's POV“Hello boss!” She yelled, her voice shaking. What's going on? Why is your voice shaking? What happened? I thought deeply while responding to her.“The account manager just called me.” She replied, panting heavily.“So, what did he say?” I wondered what the situation might be.“He said that someone hacked into the company's account.” She replied, her breathing was still rapid as I could hear it from the phone.“What! How! What do you mean by someone hacking into the company's account, I hope this is some sort of joke.” I yelled, my fist shaking as my face turned red.“No, this isn't a joke, sir. The account manager said sums of money are rushing out of the account, and he can't stop it.” She said quickly.“How would such a thing happen? What do I pay you guys for? To lose a massive sum of money?” I roared furiously, this was really frustrating.“What happened dear?” I hear Rosa say.“Donald, you're not saying anything.” She said, frowning, I'm sure she could see the anger
Donald's POVWork was really hectic today, so much papers to sign, meetings to attend and decision-making to do, I'm so stressed up and really need to shower immediately.I felt disgusting and reeked off sweat too, the cool bath was nice. I laid in the bathtub letting the chill water sip into my bones as it eased the earlier stress I had.The scent of the soap and hair conditioner I applied was really spectacular, I felt really freshen. These products Rosa ordered newly are better than the ones the housekeeper has been ordering lately.I finished taking my bath, I decided to put on a shirt and shorts, waiting for Rosa as I thought by now she should be done with whatever conservation she and Lillian had.A minute later, she walked in majestically with an infectious smile making me look at her as she made her way to the bed.“Hey babe.” She said leaning on my body making warmth all over my body, peace came to my mind the moment our body touched.She was always needed at all times, her p
Rosa’s POVOn the plane back home, I watched the sky bright with the sun radiating, casting a gentle glow on my face as thought of the question Dad asked: Who could be the person who knows about your origin?Why would the person inform me by sending someone to strangle me? How can I find this person, there's more to this?The most shocking fact is that the mugger was right, so I was adopted, dad and mom are not my real parents it's really difficult to believe.So who are my real parents? I pondered.As the plane soar through the sky, I closed tightly and then exhaled to calm myself down.“Get me a glass of cold water.” I commanded the servant nearby.“Yes, ma'am, I'll go right away.” She said with a curtsy and left.Currently, I think what I need is something cold to cool me down.She came back with a tray in her hands.“Ma'am, here is your water. The pilot asked me to inform you that we'll be landing soon.”“Okay then, you can leave.” I responded and starting drinking the water.Abou
Unknown POV“Gideon, the plan didn't go as expected.” I reported bowing to him as I entered his room.“What do you mean by that?” Gideon asked, his jaw clenched as he looked up facing me.“I couldn't take her, Donald's estate is highly secured, security is tight.” I explained the situation at hand.“So you mean you don't have her?” He asked, breathing rapidly.“Yes, I was unable to kidnap her.” I declared letting him the truth.“Bang!” He slammed his fist on the table with fury. The table broke into two halves as his fist was strong.“You were given a specific task to do, and you were unable to do it, uh.” He yelled, slapping me across the face hardly.“If you knew you couldn't do it, why didn't you say it, you wasted so much time, I thought it was successful, what were you doing?”“Tell me what were you doing?” He shouted, pointing fingers at me.“Please give me a chance to speak.” I wailed in anguish, holding my cheeks as the slap was extremely hot.“Speak! Speak then.” He ordered w
Rosa's POVI think I need to visit dad, there are numerous questions in my head that want to pop out right now. I took my shower in my Jacuzzi bathroom, enjoying the warmth of the water and the sweet scent of the soap filled the atmosphere.When I was done, I went through my drawer and chose a navy-blue dress with back stilettos and headed for the dinning to eat.“Prepare the car for the airport, I'll be leaving in thirty minutes.” I ordered sternly as I sat on the dinning chair to eat.The dishes before me were served in grand style, I would rather not eat too much, so I only ate bacon and eggs.A few minutes later, I was done. I took my black Louis Vuitton bag and headed for the porch.The car door was opened for me, and we zoomed off to the airport, getting to city X isn't far because I'll be using Donald's private jet which will take me a few minutes to get there.Immediately we got to the airport, we entered the plane, and it took off, I closed my eyes as my heart pounded in chao
Rosa's POVThe room was dark, and I can feel the heaviness of it. My throat choked asmy chest tightened. The strong man's hand clenched my mouth. Struggling against the stranger's grip, someone could barely hear me scream. My heart is panting, my nostrils blocked with a hazardous smell.“Who are you?” I asked with a little chance I had mumbling.With the little strength in me, I stretched my hands sharply, slamming my knees on the person's chest. “How did you get in here?” My tone sounded like a whisper.The person gripped me harder on my waist. My eyebrows raised and pulled together as my breath grew ragged. My fingers grabbed a metal beside my bed, without wasting time, I hit it on his head. He staggered and stumbled on the floor.My breathing deepened, I moved backward as I got my freedom from him.“Do you know who your biological father is? Late Mr. Winsor. Find your root, you're the daughter of a billionaire” The stranger sneered his voice hoarse.Just then my bedroom door opene
Chapter Thirty Seven: Rosa's POVThe mansion was wow! After speaking with Rose, I decided to go see my love. As I was approaching the outer part of her apartment, I felt a sharp pain in my back. My bodyguard opened the door for me to enter, as I sat on the chair, my body ached badly and I couldn't endure it. I quickly called my doctor. “Hi Doctor Reign, you need to come to my house. I need a medical attention.” Immediately I entered my car after making the call, we were about to move when I sighted a black car. The glasses were tinted I was unable to view very well. My face tensed as I looked forward to the direction of the car. “Who could that be?” I soliloquized.“Kindly drive the car, you all should be vigilant.” I commanded. My eyes gazed at the car. They all chorused their response at the same time, “Yes, madam.” As we moved, the reflection of the car flickered through my side mirror.“Why is that car looking suspicious to me?” I kept wondering.A few hours later, I arrived
