“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 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
Chapter Twenty Eight: Donald's POVOn my way home, I was so worried and confused. What's going on? Who is trying to play with my intelligence? Could this be The Miller's family or an unknown enemy. The Miller's are always jealous of my family. Is Rodriguez and the detective trying to lie against my mom? I pondered.As I was thinking, my phone rang. I'm driving, I can't pick call at the moment. Few minutes later, Rosa sent a voicemail, “Babe, how are doing? I have been so worried about you. Call me when you receive this message. I love you.” Rosa said. I smiled and continue driving. At the office,When I got to the office, after listening to Rosa's voicemail, I called her back. “I'm fine babe, I'm at the office. I love you too.” I replied, we both laughed profusely.“Come back home please, I am missing you.” She said after laughing and I dropped the call. I called my secretary quickly when I remembered a business deal we are pursuing.“Come to my office now.” I told my secretary. A
Chapter Twenty Nine Donald's POVI was about opening the kitchen door when I heard her voice from another direction.“See who we have here! Wow! This is lovely. Son, you came without been coerced.”When I turned around, my mother was walking towards me with her arms spread wide in a welcome display.Trying to impress her, I smiled and replied, “Mom, see how beautiful you are looking.”Before I could say anything, she pulled me into a tight hug. 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. Before now, we have to plead for you to visit us.” She continued. “I hope we are celebrating sometime bigger.” She looked at me with curiosity while holding me. I paused, “How will I approach her about this whole issues? What the f*ck!” I soliloquized“Can she do something like this? Is she this evil?” I continued. This is tough, bu
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
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
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
