Three days had passed since that pivotal moment on the rooftop. Roxanne had retreated to the solace of her home, hoping to find clarity amidst the chaos of her swirling emotions. She sat in her living room, surrounded by paperwork and her laptop, attempting to focus on her work. But her mind would constantly wander back to Lance's confession. The weight of his words continued to linger, tugging at her heartstrings.

Did Lance really mean those words he had spoken? Could she believe his every word despite knowing that he had a fiancee he was meant to marry in less than two months?

Questions of such lingered heavily in the back of her mind, but Roxanne tried her very best to push them away, lock them away and focus solely on seeing to it that the business left by her father withstood whatever storm was brewing.

    Roxanne woke up to the sun light shining down on her face through the gaps of Lance curtain. She stretched and yawned before laying back on the bed. She opened her eyes and glanced at the clock to see what time it was. She noticed it was 2:14 pm, meaning she had slept for nearly 14 hours.She had already gotten more than enough sleep. Too much if you asked her.Deciding that it was time for her to step out of bed, Roxanne kicked off the duvet and tried getting up, but the moment she attempted the action, her body was pulled back down to the bed.

    The day Christopher had been admitted into the hospital under pretext of being mugged, Lance asked Laurence who's name had been used as his guardian."Ah, that? Don't worry, I made sure to put a name that wouldn't cause suspicion or worry."That was his answer.At that time, Lance thought if it was someone like Laurence, the only real friend he had since college, then sure he could trust his words and avoid the excess stress of further questioning and digging.But who would have thought that doing so was actually a bad decision.Who would have thought that the name which Laurence placed down as Christopher's guardian was actually his!Lance's expression became twisted and dark after hearing the hospital person's words. He felt like finding Laurence and snapping his neck right this instance, but opted to not do so after taking several calming breaths."Mr. Laurent? Are you still on the line with me?"

Unlike how she had been looking three weeks ago, Roxanne was looking much more lovely and vibrant.The bruises that had been inflicted the time he kidnapped her had faded away.

She took in Christopher's battered condition.His wounded and black eyes, bursted lips and bandaged forehead.

She smiled and waved back."Alright, I'm coming out." She said and got up, throwing her cup into the bin before grabbing her bag and walking out of the cafe.The winter was getting harsher and harsher with each passing day but she had

    "You are absolutely pathetic, Penelope Cube." She said and glanced over to the crowd before returning her gaze to Penelope. "You're absolutely pathetic." She repeated in a much louder voice, making sure everyone in the room could hear. "All this while I had my eyes on you, waiting to see how far you'd sink before you drown." Roxanne smirked. "But you're the one that ended up drowning yourself, it's you that lost the game and now, you're going to have to pay for it."Immediately after Roxanne's words, Claude emerged from the crowd ready to defend his daughter. But Lance was faster.He rushed forward and blocked Claude before he could get closer to Roxanne. "Don't you dare?" He sneered.Claude stopped short in his spot and looked around from Roxanne who was standing her ground and looking unfazed to Penelope, his daughter who was drenched from head to toe in wine and then to Lance who was shooting daggers at him through his eyes.

    The rest of the party went by peacefully, that is until Henry clinged his glass, drawing the attention of everyone in the room as he announced that he had something to say. In that moment, Lance and Roxanne glanced at each other, remembering how Henry said he was going to announce Lance as the new CEO tomorrow and step down from the Company."Can I please have your attention?" Henry said with a smile on his face as he stepped forward from his place where he had been standing with Frank and took to stand at the center, while everyone watched in anticipation."I know this might be quite sudden but I want to thank everyone here today for being a part of welcoming back my father from the hospital, it means more to me than any one could ever imagine." Henry said and glanced at Frank who nodded his head in agreement and looked back towards the crowd with a smile on his face."It's been an honor and a pleasure to meet all of you, whether you be the regular guests or some of the close family

    After looking at herself one last time in the mirror, She decided that her outfit was okay as well as every other thing on her."You ready?" Roxanne asked when she finished dressing up and found Lance standing in the living room in his black suit."Yep." He answered and extended his hand for her to take, which she did, giving him a smile of confidence."Let's go." She said, and the couple exited the penthouse, locking the door and taking the elevator to the ground floor and stepping out into the bright sun of the morning.The city had woken up early that day, and the streets were already packed with people going on with their daily business, having no idea about what was to happen later that day.The couple strolled towards the parking lot, hand in hand. Roxanne took a deep breath before entering the car. She buckled up and strapped the seatbelt while Lance slipped into the driver's seat and started the engine."How nervous are you?" He asked once he pulled out of the parking lot and

    Henry went stiff and his gaze momentarily flew to where Roxanne was seated beside Lance, finding her eyes glued on him before he looked away."I..." He hesitated. "I did so because I wanted to protect Roxanne."His answer left both Roxanne and Lance stunned and confused."Protect Roxanne?" Lance asked."Protect me?" Roxanne asked."Yes." Henry nodded. "At the time which your parents had died and their case was being handled, Claude had been proven guilty In many ways and as a result asked to pay compensation worth thirty five billion to the victims daughter, Roxanne, or spend the rest of his life in jail. So Claude taught that if Roxanne wasn't around then he could pass under the charges. He was planning on harming her in other to walk Scott free and I couldn't allow that, so I bribed the judge to drop the case to make sure that Roxanne remained safe."Lance's eyes narrowed in on his father and he frowned deeply. "You mean, that monster that killed Roxanne' parents had actually attemp

    Lance and Roxanne spent a few more hours in Rosalie's place, talking things over and planning for the party the next day. By the time they had finished, the sky was already darkening and Lance and Roxanne feeling tired. They bade Rosalie goodbye and began the journey back to Lance's penthouse which was now virtually like Roxanne's place too."So, you and me, huh?" Lance asked playfully once they were in the car on the drives back home.Roxanne who had her head leaned against the window chuckled. "Don't even push your Luck, Laurent." She teased, earning a hum of disapproval from him."Why not, you're already my girlfriend, I don't see any harm in making you my finacee.""True, but it'll be awkward to explain this to everyone since we only just found out that you and I are apparently engaged since childbirth, but without a doubt, it'd be funny seeing Penelope's face when she learns of this." Roxanne pointed out with a chuckle which faded almost instantly as she said. "Funny and pitiful.

    Rosalie was rather surprised when both Lance and Roxanne showed up at her house, so suddenly."Lance? Roxanne? Why are you both here? Isn't the party until tomorrow?" The elderly woman asked, looking confusingly between the young couple."Hi, grandmother." Roxanne greeted, followed by Lance who gave a curt and respectful nod in her direction. "Yes, the party isn't until tomorrow but that isn't why we're here, we need to talk." She said seriously."Oh," Rosalie uttered, surprised by her granddaughter's sudden serious demeanor. But she recovered from that quickly and smiled. "Well, how about we have a chat in the living room." She suggested politely, gesturing for both Roxanne and Lance to step in.They both did as told and sank down together in the same chair, waiting till Rosalie had served them glasses of water and sank down in her won chair before begining to discuss the reason why they had come here for."Grandmother, can we ask you a few questions?"Rosalie viewed her granddaughte

    Roxanne quickly looked over the document, reading the information and then quickly turning to look at Lance, her eyes wide and her heart racing with excitement. "You've got to be fucking kidding me!""What is it?" Lance asked as he walked over to her and looked over the documents in her hand, his brows creasing with equal confusion. "I wasn't aware that Grant Enterprise had a medical center." He commented."That's because it doesn't." Roxanne informed, flipping through the documents all the more to get headings and after a while, she scoffs. "This is ridiculous. What are we meant to do with fake documents."She tossed the paper back into the podium and ran her hand through her hair, pushing them back and out of her face. In the process of doing so, she had missed as Lance bent down and picked off the floor the piece of paper that had slithered out from in between the pages of the document as she had tossed it away."Perhaps it isn't fake," He began, looking over the small piece of pap

    "Penelope Cube, the daughter of the Cube family is the customer claiming to have already wanted those dresses.""Oh my freak fucking God." Roxanne cursed as she rolled her eyes and later on groaned in annoyance while Lance on the other hand sighed out loudly in frustration, both leaving Catherine confused."So you mean to tell me the person playing owner over the dresses I picked is Penelope Cube?" She asked once more out of confirmation sakes.Catherine hesitantly nodded her head. "I'm afraid so.""Oh fuck my life. That girl has been making it her mission to be the worst person ever. Why she had to come here to spoil our time together is beyond me." Roxanne ranted with a roll of her eyes. "I can't fucking believe this.""I know this might sound like a difficult task, Catherine, but I need you to get me those dresses. Not a single one of what we picked should go missing. Am I making myself clear?" Lance instructed with a serious look on his face and Catherine nodded her head immediate
