Lilian's POV

She 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

    Prologue Rosa woke up looking excited. The comfort of the lounge king-size bed makes her feel like sleeping more, but it is her day; she can't joke with it. The room was a first-class asylum, the floor and ceiling looking like a horizon, the windows offering breathtaking views of the city outline. Cream-colored floor was made of dark hardwood glowing like a star. The elegant furniture created a sophisticated ambiance. She quickly rushed into the marbled-clad bathroom, a spa-like retreat; she entered the deep soaking jacuzzi with a separate rain shower and designer toiletries. Her face looked beautiful with a soft, relaxed smile as she sank deeper into the warm, scented water. Her eyes closed in bliss. She stood up from the Jacuzzi and felt like a queen. She felt the soft fabric of her gown gleam under the chandelier light. She expressed in a soft tone to herself, her voice fluttering with excitement, "Finally, I will be addressed as Mrs. Donald. Lilian, her chief bride

"Hey babe, I'll be right back soon, you can order for anything if you need more." he whispered bending down to kiss my cheek before walking away. I kept sitting quietly and taking in the restaurant's serene atmosphere. A romantic and welcoming ambiance was produced by the gentle light from the chandeliers above. The allure was further enhanced by the tranquil hum of the piano in the background. I was drinking my wine and thinking a lot about where Donald had gone. A young woman approached me a moment later. She had a kind but enigmatic smile and was well dressed. "Pardon me, ma'am," she said courteously. "Are you Rosa?" I wondered how she knew my name as I looked at her. After a brief pause, I replied, "Yes." She smiled enigmaticly at me once more. My smile made her smile even more. "A young, handsome man is waiting for you down the hall," she spoke softly after that. Bef

My finger's ring glistened like a tiny star, serving as a continual reminder of the joy that now permeated my existence. My friends surrounded me as soon as I entered the office, their excitement brimming like kids at a birthday celebration. The first to speak was Evelyn, who was always the life of the party. Her eyes gleamed like diamonds as she exclaimed, "Soon-to-be Mrs. Donald!" Her long, smooth blond hair brushed my face as she threw her arms around me. I was showered with congratulations as the others joined in with cheers and laughter. As I thanked them, I could not help but blush because I felt like the happiest woman alive. Eager to have a private moment, I sneaked off to my office while still smiling. I closed the door after entering and sank into my chair, grinning broadly as ever. I was unable to take my eyes off the ring on my finger, and I kept turnin

    Rosa’s POV I sat on the edge of my bed and stared at my phone, the messages still glowing on the screen. Who could have sent me such messages? I began to wonder. My thoughts got out of control. Should I tell you the truth? Does he know this? With each passing second, the room's size decreased. My phone unexpectedly rang while I was jotting down my thoughts. I looked at Donald's caller ID for a moment. It made my heart sink. Despite my fear, I made myself take a deep breath before answering. "Hey, sweetie. How are you? His voice remained warm as he asked. "I am fine," I say in an attempt to sound normal. Ignorant of the storm brewing inside of me, he kept talking. "Is it possible for us to have lunch tomorrow? With excitement in his voice, he said, "I would like to discuss when you will meet my family and I will meet yours. After a brief pause, I answered right away. Tomorrow sounds amazing. "Okay, babe." His gentle words, "I love you, babe," helped to ease my anxiety. On the co

    Chapter Five Rosa's POV At the office today, I was promoted to the position of a Manager. I felt happy hearing those words. Manager of Nulec Company. My heart raced with excitement, and I couldn't help but whisper to myself, “Wow, I’m the new Manager of Nulec Company.” But even this achievement couldn’t silence the storm in my mind. I decided I needed a vacation—not just to celebrate, but to escape the constant threats I’d been receiving from an unknown caller. A part of me hoped the break would help clear my head and give me the courage to see my son, David, after two long years. As much as I loved Donald, the man I was about to marry, I couldn’t shake the fear of losing him if he ever found out about David. My heart ached at the thought of jeopardizing our wedding ceremony, yet I kept telling myself it was for the best—for now. I called Donald to inform him about the promotion despite I'm still furthering my education. Donald was happy for me and called me a lucky champ. "You de

    Rosa's POV The following day, I found myself sitting across from Grandma Hanns, deep in conversation. I needed her comfort more than I knew, and her wise, weathered face gave it to me. David was playing close by, and I let myself unwind for a little while as his little giggles filled the air like music. Despite everything that was going on in my life, his innocence reminded me that I had something innocent to keep safe. "After everything I have been through, I can not believe I have such a handsome baby," I thought as I looked at him, smiling. Just behind it a bitter thought crept in. Funny enough, I do not know who his biological father is. I am appreciative of my good health, though. If nothing else, there is no HIV. Even though I tried not to think about it, it still bothered me. What if it had been different? What if I wasn’t healthy? What would my life look like then? Grandma’s soft voice brought me back to the present. “Rosa,” she called sharply, her tone laced with concern

My thumb moved quickly to the answer button after seeing who the caller was, Mr. Brian, my new business partner. “Hello, Mr. Donald, what about the business deal?” I looked at myself and thought about my family's reputation for a while. “Business deal? Well, I'm not in the right frame of mind now”. I was lost in a thought; if I reject the offer, my family's company will lose the deal. What should I do? “Hello! Hello! Are you still with me? I heard Mr.Brian call out to me at the other end of the line. His voice woke me from my thought. “Sorry for taking time to reply. I was trying to put things in order over here. I replied, trying to buy time in order to have a rethink about the deal. Mr. Brian replied, “Are you still interested? Many companies have sent their proposals for this same deal”. My eyes quickly opened wide, my chest pounding. I was confused.

    Despite the intimate atmosphere created by the soft glow of the cabin lights and the rhythmic hum of the engines, my mind would not stop racing. I forced a smile as Donald poured us glasses of champagne, his movements elegant and fluid, trying to get rid of the knot in my stomach. While enjoying the thrill of our honeymoon destination, I should be engrossed in the bliss of our wedding night. But that man—the stranger who was lurking near the door during the wedding ceremony—kept coming back to me. He had been watching me. I knew for sure. Donald whispered, "To us," and lifted his glass. His eyes were warm and promise-filled. I sipped, allowing the bubbles to tickle my throat as I clinked my glass against his. I repeated, "To us," but my thoughts were still elsewhere. Donald sat back and looked at me. "You are too quiet, babe!." His words drew back my attention, and in my mind, I pondered, "Do you want to destroy everything you've built? Today is a reality because I worked towards it."

Upon exiting the vehicle, I felt as if my legs were weak from the morning's chaos. The estate was exquisitely furnished and the ideal balance of elegance and intimacy. Amidst the delicate glow of fairy lights, rows of thoughtfully placed chairs, adorned with delicate ribbons and flowers, were seated. But there were not many seats available. Only close friends and family were present, as his father was the only member of his family who had largely chosen to be present. It was more painful than I would like to admit about the absence.The muted sounds of music and conversation that poured out from inside the hall confirmed my worst fears. I was not on time. The ceremony was about to begin. My chest tightened as I muttered, mainly to myself, "It has already begun." How should I proceed now? The morning's events replayed in my mind l
