Selfish Desire: A Secret to Unbound. Chapter Twenty: At the hospital
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

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.

“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.

“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.

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 POVMy dad refused to accept such information. My woman is incapable of involving herself in such an abominable act. “Ask your wife very well, I believe she should be able to tell you people who are after her life. It is not my precious wife”. He tightened his lower mandible, he shook his head when saying that. His tone was low but firm. “She is not your biological mother, but she had played a mother role since your mom died. Is this how you want to pay her back?” His voice lowered but he felt disappointed.Dad's words made me felt bad.I was confused, dad has never spoken to me in this manner. He was hurt, his voice was tensed a bit. Frustration, guilt started ringing in my mind. I shouldn't have informed him. Probably, I would have confronted her not my dad.Everything seems so fast, I'm confused right now. I don't know whom to believe anymore. My head was so heavy with the weight of everything. “Dad, please forgive me, I'm truly sorry.” I replied, touching my hair.Curren

Selfish Desire: A Secret to Unbound. Chapter Forty-seven: The shock of my life
Donald's POV“What?” I kept staring like I've seen a ghost.“Who is this?” I kept pondering, my eyes still on the road. I had to stop the car to avoid an accident. Looking in her direction.“Is that not Evelyn?” I asked myself. I didn't know when she disappeared. Likewise, I couldn't see where she went. Is it just a resemblance or her twin? I was lost in thought as I stepped out of my car. I kept looking to see if I could see her again, but I couldn't. Not only that, but I got tired and entered my car and drove home to meet my love.At my residence, the butler came out of the house, “Welcome sir!”I kept quiet and refused to respond. “Is Rosa around?” I asked.“Yes sir!” He replied, his head bowed.Getting to her room, she watched me from the corner where she sat. She looked different, no welcome and no hug. “Are you okay?” I asked, my jaw slacked.“I'm feeling somehow.” She replied, touching her stomach, and her face squeezed.“Let's go to the hospital right away.” I carried her like

Donald's POVI scrunched up my face immediately, and I heard her voice. Who invited her over? My stepmom interrupted the silent room. My dad faked a smile, I know him too well. He doesn't like someone interrupting him when having an important discussion.“Who is the person you want to arrest?” She muttered again, her eyes glinted and her arms on her waist.“You are supposed to be in the kitchen preparing my meal and not here, please.” My dad replied calmly.Her face twisted, and she still insisted, “Don't we have a cook?”“The cook is preparing your meal.” She answered harshly.My dad stood up and turned to her, “Since you want to be everywhere, is Thompson.”He replied, sat down, and he sniffed.“Which Thompson?” She inquired, her nose flared.“Your brother-in-law. Thompson Ronald of course.” He said loudly.She scowled and sat down, still staring at my dad. She is not even having that surprise look. Not even a flinch. I was furious, what kind of woman is this?“What? Why him? What h

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

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

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
