Rosa's pov:
I sat back on my chair looking out the window watching the busy street.After giving Kayla her day off I decided to go through the pile of files that Jeremy dropped at my office before leaving.So far he had fired over twenty five employees over pety issues.He made me do double work because currently I was just relaxing after calling all ex-employees and compesate for Jeremy's rudeness,while I offered back their jobs to those who still had not got employed.
It was currently two in the afternoon,I skipped lunch just to get done with all the work I had at the office.I also made few phone calls one of them being a moving company.It was time for me to go back to my home,yes I was moving in with Ella.
We agreed to move out tonight from Eight at night.I didn't want to create a fuss considering anyone in that neighborhood would recognise my pale face and grey eyes.Everyone believed that am dead,so me showing up would ruin my plans.
Thinking of where to eat my stomach grumbled.I decided to order in and just eat in my office as I get done going through the interns file.I wanted to hire the interns so I have to go through the files and know where to place each one.I had different departments,some for sewing and draping,others at the marketing departments while others deal with financial statements for the company.
After informing Ella I would be moving in tonght,all she said was.."It is about time,been lonely in that big house."her words but her face gave no emotion.Well if it was someone else you would think she was grumpy,but like I said am good at reading peoples emotions and she was enthusiastic about it.Behind the innocent looks,was one lethal human who had gone through so much.
I met Ella as I was on my run after the fire,I had no where to go and my family lived few hours from here.She took me in just for a few days but the moment our eyes met its like I was seeing myself in her.A broken girl who needed to find a little bit of solace.A girl who wanted to be listened to and voice out her opinion,and right there I knew I would trust her.She gave me comfort while I was battling with grieve and betrayal.
She asked me why I never called my relatives to let them know that I was alive,but I knew the moment I call them the arsonist who happened to be my ex-fiance would get a wind of it.The fire was all over the magazines and tabloids.I kept the magazines about the Arson.Lawyer Giovanni and his family dies in a fire. That was the heading of all the magazines attached a photo of our burned house,more like the remains that was not ashes.Below they attached our family potrait and thats how the world knew I was dead.
I watched from a distance as my family lowered three empty caskets in the ground from a distance as Ella tried comforting me.Its not easy losing a parent and Ella knew this since her father died in a car crash as her mother overdosed herself due to grieving six months later.Thats when Ella dropped off college to mend and feed for herself.When we met she was just working at a coffee shop earning less for the both of us.
A soft knock startled me,I didn't notice I was playing with the locket my mother had given me.It was a habit of me to play with it as am in deep thoughts.
"Come in,"I said
Ella walked in with my bags of chips,while picking few out munching on them.
"So what is the plan?"Ella asked.
This made me raise one of my brows confused about what she is asking about.
"I walk in and you are playing with your locket,the only time you play with your locket is when you in deep thought or when you miss your parents,but am gonna take first because you rarely show emotions especially based on personal affairs in public,"she said proudly taking a sit infront of me.
Ladies and gentlemen let me introduce to you the only human that can read me past my emotionless face.I knew how to hide my emotions off my eyes.If someone would try to read me they would just meet cold grey eyes or dead eyes.The rage I was carrying plus my cold eyes is equal to a lethal combination.Ella knew what I was capable at the same time she was that one person I can't lie to because she would detect the lie from afar.
"I think its time I invite my family over and let them know have been alive,we know how happy they would be to see me especially Nonna,"I said with an exhausted sigh at the end.
"Why dont we talk about this tomorrow in the morning after you move in,"she said.
Her off all people know how my nonna means to me,but I agreed to do that.
"Do I have to come to your house we pack after work?"she asked while stealing one of my fries.
"No,all I need are my clothes which we both know its not much since it was my disguised look the moving company are just going to carry few necessities considering the apartment is still mine,there are times I would need to go back,"she just nodded absentmindedly as I eat mt last fry.
It was currently four in the evening so I grabbed my water bottle taking a sip,with my Estelle Couture designer bag with me I left the office with Ella walking towards her office.Taking the private elevator I knew rumors had already spread all over the company about me being the CEO.I know it was unexpected but for once I felt complete and myself.I didn't hide or have to act in cowardness towards the people who once looked down upon me.
My mother was right,I am Queen and all I had to do was fix my crown and show everyone who I am.Walking out of the lobby I would see people watching me in awe as others talked in hushed tones.I could see a grinning Ella outside the big windows I don't even know how she got out that fast.
It didn't take much I was getting in my car waving goodbye at Robby as I exited the company to go back and move out.I had a tiresome day yet its not close to being over.
Getting home I went straight to shower as I changed to something comfortable,grey sweatpants and a big t-shirt.I didn't have much to pack and soon I heard the bell ring.
"Hi,you must be Marie,we are here to help you with moving out,"he said
"Yes James,come in please,"I said while reading his name tag.They got in and carried most of the stuffs,and in no time we were on our way to my new home.
It didn't take long considering I didn't live that far.After dropping the luggages at their respectful places I paid giving them a tip and waved goodbye.Ella squeled jumping on me hugging as if I was gonna vanish the next minute.
The saying there is no place like home is right.Now its when I noticed how homey this place was,I missed this house,well I turned it into a mansion but still it gave me solace just being here.
Rosa's pov:It was friday,which meant both Ella and I won't go to work tomorrow.It was around 9:00pm,an hour later after unpacking.Ella decided that we should just chill and watch netflix and thats what we are currently doing.The ping from the microwave had Ella run to the kitchen,I just laughed at how childish she is.Old habits die youngShe always had some type of fetish towards popcorns or I can say obsession.She came back with a bowl of popcorns grinning while looking at them,how cute."Ella,I was thinking of hosting a family dinner tomorrow at six in the evening,"I said turning to her."Its fine by me,but what technically do you want me to do because we all know you can't contact them out of the blues,Belle you are supposed to be dead,"She other than my parents was the only person who called me Belle,and I loved it because I always considered her my sister."I want to let them know am alive,you just have to contact them tonigh
William's pov:I have had my fair share with clubbing,I told myself I won't step a foot at any club nor a bar,may it be in this town or else where.But hey,here I am again at the most luxurious club and talk of the town.No am not drinking,well my bestfriend decided to pay a visit and drunk to the point he can't drive himself.So here I am dragging his drunk ass out of the club to my car.Something big might have happened for him to drink past his limit."Dude,I feel like puking,"he slurred as he tried to get ahold of himself."Don't puke in my car,let me stop and do your business in the trash can outside,"I said in a rush as I let him out.It took me alot to bring him in my car and that is when he responds.Not long he got back in the car and passed out.It was one long ride to my pent house."Hey,wake up!we are home,"I tried shaking him but he didn't buldge.Talk about being a heavy sleeper."I can't believe I have to car
Rosa pov: I watched as the glass shattered on the floor loving the effect I gave off.Whispers could be heard all around the room. My eyes fixed on the shattered glass on the floor.Reminded of who I was,broken but what kept me going was knowing a broken glass is always the sharpest.It made me move from my darkest days to my brightest but this is just a tip of an iceberg.I smiled raising my head meeting William's pale face. Next to him was Jeremy,I knew well they were friends but not close friends. "You are supposed to be dead,"I tried not to cringe over Laura's voice.Her and I have been arch-nemesis since we were little.I knew my presence made her insecure. Taking a glass of wine,I descend the stairs smiling.My nonna rushed to me,thinking I would just vanish. "come fai a vivere?"nonna asked.[how are you alive?] "Almeno sono vevo,"I answered back embracing the warm feeling.[atleast I am alive] Shock
William's POV:I couldn't think straight.She was pregnant claiming that the baby is mine.The last time I saw her was three years ago so how can she be pregnant with my child.Resentment is all I felt right now.I was so enraged with the fact that she would stop so low and lie just to get me back.I could feel the burning gaze Laura was giving me and I knew she wanted answers from me thinking I cheated on her but right now I could care less about her judgemental thoughts.I didn't realize I was blinded by anger until I saw that my knuckles were white with veins noticable.I stormed off searching for Isabella or Isabelle considering people call her both names.The room was filled with hushed whispers as people gave me questioning looks.I was more confused because how can she lie when all I knew was dead.Today was the first time I saw her after thinking she was dead.I will say I'll applause for her coz she is a good actor.It was then I saw two silhouette standi
Rosa's POV:I couldn't help the smirk growing on my face as I remember William's facial expression.He expected me to be naive.I know you all wondering why am so chill even after everything he has done but to be honest I mask my emotions too well.I despise the man he turned out to be but that doesn't mean I don't love the baby inside of me.He or she is just a result of his mistakes but he or she is a blessing to me.I didn't expect more coz I knew he would reject the pregnancy but shock on him,I don't want my kid near him knowing what he has done.People had left only few remained and I could see Nonna at the kitchen wrapping the left overs with Elle as they kept them in the fridge.Elle had puffy eyes,after I enlightened her on how I got pregnant she was so pissed off at me for not telling her and the last thing I needed is her giving me silent treatment.Am glad she understood when I told her not to tell Nonna but I knew with time I'd have to talk to her.
Laura's POV:I looked at William needing answers.After getting the information that Isabella was dead I was relieved.Call me cold hearted but I hated her guts.I hated the fact that she had attention from everyone.Ever since we were kids we never liked each other so does my mother.I never understood why my mother hated her sister but I couldn't bother ask her.She passed down the resentment to me.I tried everything I could do to push Isabella to the limit but she never reacted,I knew I was hurting her but when she kept her distance from me I was glad yet I wasn't satisfied until I heard she died in the fire.After her death William and I became this power couple in a few months."Not now Laura,"William said with a no more word tone.I gaped at him because this is the first time he ever shut me down.Jeremy was standing beside me in deep thoughts.I had alot of questions but the fact that Isabella is back and now pregnant with William's child I couldn'
Rosa's POV:I couldn't sleep well last night,I kept turning and tossing in bed.I was a nervous wreck and today was my first clinic day.Checking the time it's still five in the morning and I knew I couldn't go back to sleep.I didn't notice a small figure beside me,that's when I remembered Elle slept over in my room.I decided to internet surf for a while since I could not fall back asleep.I went through my Instagram only to see a photo of Laura but with the caption wife to be.I did not have time to react but all I knew is it did me a huge favor.I think she became territorial but I pity her for thinking I was gonna chase a man like a William.Rubbing my tummy as I went through the comments,I could see alot of congratulations and bad comments of how I was just stealing his man only for him to stick to Laura.I chuckled as I kept scrolling down.I had not realized Elle was up and was analyzing me in her sleepy state."Goodmorning,"I smiled at he
Marie's pov:"All packed ma'am,"I smiled at the middle aged lady infront of me as my dimples popped passing the package to her."Thank you,Marie,"she answered back as she read my name tag.She's one of our clients.I've been working at Estelle Couture for two years now.It was a small fashion brand back when I got hired.I was hired six months after the launching of this brand and three years later it is the most famous fashion brand in the country.In these years that have been working here I've never seen the owner of Estelle Couture.Not only I but also the employees including the manager himself.I waved back at the sweet lady as she takes her exit.It was closing time and there was no other client which had me grinning as the day ends.I was eager to head home after a tiresome day of fake smiles and giggles.I don't have alot of friends of which most will think am a loner but no. I do love my own company.All employees includi

Marie's/Rosa's pov:Pressing the elevator buttons I can't help but evocate the good times with my parents.We were just an ordinary family,my father was lawyer while my mother was just an ordinary florist.We did own a big piece of land not as big as the luxurious side of the town did but enough for my mom to plant flowers,dad to raise his horses and enough to have a medium sized house not too boujee and not for a middle class rank.Lets say in between.After the fire,I started doing my own digging.It took a while but i came to know who was behind the arson.Later on I realised they were selling the land for few pennies,so I got one of my workers,Ella to be sure,to buy the land and sell it later to me.Ella was the only person who knew of my identity and also the bestfriend I had after the arson.At work we never acted as friends but we still kept in touch.After selling the land back to me,I started building back a mansion at the same time growing la
