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

She hugged me so tight, like she hadn't seen me in ages. Then she said, “This must be a flatter.” “What, why would I flatter you? I'm only telling you the truth.” We chuckled.“Well, I love this frequent visit.

    Rosa's POV“Hi babe!” I waited for response but he didn't answer. He didn't pick his call either. I just have to say “Hi” like he has picked already. Standing at the center of my decorated room, my silk robe wrapped round my shoulder and I clutched my phone tighter. The furniture, the chandelier and the velvet curtains swaying slightly from the cool breeze. Everything looks perfect but I still feel something is wrong.My eyes gazed round the room, flickering round my bed, I called his name, Donald but silence greeted me instead. A silent voice pressed against my skin like an unfamiliar presence in my room.My pulse fastened, where could he be? Why didn't he answer my calls?Suddenly I felt a touch on my back, turning back to know who that is, he gave me a sweet kiss. It wasn't funny, “who has this gurt?” I exclaimed.I quickly drew myself back, “Oh, babe, you scared me.” “Don't do that again please!” I said With a smirk and pointed at him jokingly.“As it pleases the madam herself” We

    Chapter Thirty Two:Rosa's POVAs I stepped into my dad's apartment, everywhere looked odd. Alexis stood, crossed her arms and crisscrossed her legs while resting on the wall. “Okay, I know why you came here. You actually came to show off.” She muted after saying that and sighed after a while.Refusing to give her satisfaction, I wasn't really concerned about the trash she said, I bent my head as if I'm lost in thought. “If you say so, Alexis.” I glanced at her, removing my spectacles.Nothing looked new in that house, they were all old items I saw before I left. It seems something is wrong. My stepmom looked terrible, and she kept staring at me like she was surprised. “Aren't you going to tell my father I’m back.” I said with a smiling face.“My dad can't come and say hello to me after a long time. Why does he hate me so much.” My eyes brow knitted together as I looked blankly forward when I was deep in thought.My stepmom stared at Alexis and said to me, “Don't be sarcastic”.“Don'

Suspicious men in white stepped down from the car. They are professional, dangerous, and trained.“Ma'am, please don't come out.” The car is a bulletproof car, my driver locked all the doors immediately.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

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
