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.

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 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.
