Nicholas did not understand why she kept silent. He moved closer to her but she kept moving back. Then he saw the reason why. Her eyes are widened, staring at the gun in his hands. He immediately put the gun away. "Why aren't you telling me? I want to know how you are feeling." He demanded. Rose's heart dropped, in relief. "How... How am I doing?" He nodded, "You were passed out since yesterday and we've barely had time to talk. Are you okay now? Tell me how you are feeling." Rose sighed in relief one more time, he didn't catch her yet. He was talking about her health. She decided to play it as she would. "I am better, thanks for asking." She replied him and wanted to walk away. However, he pulled her by the arm and stopped her from leaving. He looked her straight in the eyes like he was searching for something. She didn't understand what was going on with him but his eyes seems to be softer than before. "What do you want? I thought I already told you I
Rose moved away from him a little. She doesn't understand why he made her heart beat like that. It's scary for her. "Why are you doing this? Aren't you done with joking with me? Just stop it already, you are taking things too serious." She shyly said looking away. Nicholas sighed, "It's my first time after a very long time confessing to a girl. I know it's not easy for you to accept my yet, just don't leave." He pulled her to the bed and made her sit down. It's all confusing for Rose as she saw the sincerity in his eyes. Did he really fall for her? So soon? "You are actually... Serious?" Nicholas held her hand, "I am telling you the truth. I know I didn't want to talk about love. But the moment you wanted to leave, I realized how much you mean to me." Rose shook her head thinking, “Is he the idiot or am I the foolish one for letting this happen? This is to my advantage, why am I so sad?” Rose removed her hand from his, "I... I don't know. You might be doing this out of gui
Some days later, things between Rose and Nicholas are going well. She's been going to training and the one training her is Nicholas. Since he is not willing to let another man touch her, he decided to do it himself. He found himself liking her more every passing day. "That's all for today. You should get changed and come home with me." Nicholas suggested after the end of a training session. She scoffed, "You just love showing off to everyone, don't you? Thanks to you, the girls here think I am getting special treatment because I share your bed." His eyes widened, "What? Who said that? Tell me their names right now!" She laughed, "Look at you getting worked up when I am the one getting insulted. It's okay, I've heard worse things than this before. It's not the first time." This made Nicholas feel somehow bad for her. Maybe his love for her is getting stronger every day. She was able to break the walls he built for years with so much ease. "I know what to do
"What's going on?" Nicholas who is confused by her sudden fear asked her. He tried to get the phone from her and she didn't give him. She quickly deleted it and put it back on the table. "What was that? What scared you like that?" He asked her. "It's nothing important. I just had a jumpscare because of a spam message. I deleted it." She stated. However, that was not enough to convince Nicholas as he is a very smart man. He didn't take his eyes off her and saw how she was still trembling. "Are you sure you don't want to tell me about it? Is someone threatening you?" He asked her again. She realized that she needs to do more than shaking like that to stop him from investigating further. "I am fine. Stop worrying already. It was just a moment of fear, I am fine now." She assured him. He nodded, "If you say so then. You should eat up so you can rest. You already look pale in just a few minutes." Rose smiled, "You exaggerating. You shouldn't
Rose did not stop getting threats from the organization day after day while she stayed with Nicholas. She was very worried that she finally decided to see Don Bernardo herself. Nicholas has travelled for a few days so Rose decided to go out alone without having the bodyguards follow her. Nicholas didn't want her to get into trouble again so he asked some people to follow her wherever she goes and protect her. She managed to convince them to stay away and sneaked to the organisation undercover. On getting there, she happened to bump into Harry. "Look who we have here." Harry smiled evilly which is totally annoying for Rose, "You finally decided to say hi. I thought you wouldn't want to come back thanks to your new lover." Rose scoffed, "As you can see, I didn't come here to talk to underdogs. Move out of my way, I have important things to do." This angered Harry, Rose is disrespecting him again. He wanted to say something but Kay came into the scene at that time
Don Bernardo stared at Rose and saw her determination to not be moved by what he says. He simply scoffed and poured himself a drink. "Are you threatening me dear?" He questioned, gulping the drink. "I don't care what you think. I've had it up to here." She pointed to her neck, "I can't take it anymore! So you better stay away from me you jerk!." "Are you sure you want to do this? You're sure you won't regret this? Think about your precious sister, the whole reason you got into this in the first place." Don Bernardo is trying to guilt trip her and she can see it. She suddenly started laughing hysterically like a mad woman. Don Bernardo is flustered by her actions and did not know how to stop her. She laughed hard that tears even came out of her eyes. Then she stopped laughing like that. "You're finally coming out of your shell." Don Bernardo complimented. "Why? Do I look crazy?" She asked sarcastically. He nodded, "You seem like the real you now. Y
Tension built in her as she stood in front of him. She did not know the right words to say as she is too stunned to speak. She never expected he would come back so soon especially today that she visited the organisation. What if he has been watching her all along? How much does he know? "Why aren't you saying anything? I asked where you have been." He asked her again. She scoffed, "What's this? You didn't tell me being with you mean I have to be under your control." "What?" "I can't go anywhere I want like a child, I must get your permission and I can't do whatever I want. You think I like this relationship if that's what I'll keep going through?" She snarled at him. The way she turned the tables too fast was unseen. Nicholas did not expect her to think that way as he only meant something else. "I only asked because I was worried about you. You went out without the boys so I was worried you could get into that kind of situation again. Why are you getting
"Yes! Harder daddy!! Rock me!..." She moaned crazily while he rode her hard. She wrapped her hands on his neck and legs around his torso as he placed her on the dining table and fucked her there. She became a moaning mess in a matter of minutes. They are both people who cannot control themselves when they see each other. She pushed her head back in pleasure, he moaned along with her as she was too hot for him. Things weren't like this a few minutes ago. FEW MINUTES AGO Nicholas snatched the phone from Rose and her heart sank. She calculated that he'll see everything on her phone that she hasn't hidden and he will find out everything. Besides, the message she just saw was in front of her phone screen. She doesn't even know what the message says yet and he already took the phone from her. His eyes are already dark which scared Rose a lot. "What do you want?" She asked while he raised her phone up. "What do you think? I'm taking the phone away from
Don Bernardo finally arrived in Vernice City. On getting to the house, she didn't find Nicholas in the living room. It's her first time at his house in Vernice City. She decided to check him in the office. She knocked his office, then she opened the door when she heard his voice. Ellen walked into Nicholas's office, trying to put on a friendly smile despite the turmoil inside her. "Nicholas, it's been a while," she greeted, her voice sounding a little too cheerful.Nicholas looked up from his desk, surprise flickering in his eyes. "Ellen," he replied, nodding politely. "What are you doing here? You never told me you were coming.""I just wanted to surprise you. I tried calling but," Ellen replied casually. "You've been quite busy lately."Nicholas nodded, appreciating the small talk. "Yes, there's been a lot going on. But I'm managing."Ellen took a deep breath, trying to muster the courage to bring up the topic she had been avoiding for so long. "Nicholas, you told me that Rose is
In the living room, Nicholas and Kay faced each other, the tension between them palpable. Nicholas was determined to reclaim his place in Rose's life, but Kay wasn't backing down either. He needs to be sure Nicholas is not coming to hurt Rose. "Who are you to Rose?" Nicholas asked, his voice laced with a hint of aggression. "And what do you want with her?"Kay took a deep breath, his eyes meeting Nicholas's with unwavering resolve. "I've been there for her for years," he replied calmly. "I helped her when she needed support, and I stood by her side when she had to run away from everything she knew."Nicholas frowned, not liking the thought of someone else being there for Rose during their time apart. "And that message... the one about why I should forgive her, was that you?" he questioned.Kay nodded. "Yes, that was me," he admitted. "I wanted you to understand her perspective, to give her a chance to explain herself."Nicholas's jaw tightened, feeling like Kay was trying to medd
Rose's heart skipped a beat as she walked into Nicholas's house. The sight of him waiting for her in the living room brought back a flood of memories from their past. Despite the tension between them, being near Nicholas still stirred something deep within her."Hey," Nicholas greeted with a smile, trying to ease the awkwardness between them. "I'm glad you came."Rose returned the smile, trying to appear unaffected by the emotions swirling inside her. "Of course, I wanted to talk," she replied, taking a seat on the sofa.Nicholas sat beside her, taking a deep breath before he began to explain the situation with Ellen. "I need to tell you about Ellen," he started, his voice tinged with frustration. "She's not happy about us being together."Rose furrowed her brow, surprised by the revelation. "Why? What did she say?" she asked, genuinely curious about Ellen's objections.Nicholas hesitated for a moment before continuing, "She said you hurt me in the past and that I shouldn't forgive yo

Ellen arrived in Vernice City with a heart full of restlessness and a mind consumed by curiosity. She couldn't shake off the feeling that Nicholas had seen Rose, and she needed to find out more about their connection. Ignoring her own feelings of jealousy, she focused on her plan to gather information about Rose before confronting Nicholas.Determined to keep her intentions hidden, Ellen decided to visit the cafe owned by Rose, using the guise of a regular customer. She followed all the information she got from her spies before coming to this city. Ellen walked into the cafe with a practiced smile, trying to appear like any other customer. She approached the counter where Bryan was busy preparing a cup of coffee."Hi there," Ellen greeted warmly. "I heard you have some amazing coffee here. Mind if I try your special blend?"Bryan flashed a friendly smile. "Of course! Our special blend is one of our bestsellers. I'll get that for you right away."As Bryan prepared her coffee, Elle
Restlessness consumed Kay after he received the call from his father, Don Bernardo, about finding Rose. He couldn't shake off the mix of emotions swirling inside him. He knew he had to talk to someone about this, but he wasn't ready to burden Rose with his worries. Rose sat beside him with smile, but she could sense that something was bothering him. "Is everything alright, Kay?" she asked with concern.He hesitated for a moment, trying to hide his inner turmoil. "I'm fine, Rose," he replied, offering her a weak smile. "Just a little tired, that's all."In truth, Kay couldn't bear the thought of his father getting involved with Rose again. He remembered all too well the pain and suffering she had endured in the past, and he couldn't bear to see her hurt again. He knew that Don Bernardo's intentions were not even pure, and he had to find a way to protect Rose from his father's manipulative grasp.Leaving Rose's house momentarily, Kay felt a sense of urgency to find Nicholas and
Ever since Ellen discovered that Nicholas had seen Rose in Vernice City, her mind had been restless with a mix of emotions. Jealousy, anger, and fear clouded her thoughts, pushing her to take action. She wanted to rush to Vernice City immediately, but she knew she had to be strategic about her next move.For a few months now, Ellen had been secretly gathering information about Don Bernardo, the man who had been searching for Rose as well. She has been investigating the organization Rose came from, and she found out that man is the leader Rose screwed over. She had learned about him through her contacts, and she had been waiting for the right opportunity to approach him.She saw an opportunity in this, realizing that she could use this knowledge to her advantage. She believed that collaborating with Don Bernardo could give her the upper hand in getting rid of Rose. It was a calculated move to secure her position in Nicholas's life. Despite her restless emotions, Ellen is a very cu

As Rose entered her home, her mind was still spinning with the weight of the conversation she had with Nicholas. She was torn between the past pain and the glimmer of hope that they could find happiness again. As she turned around, she saw Kay waiting for her, concern evident in his eyes."Hey, Rose. How did it go?" Kay asked gently.Rose took a deep breath and sank into a chair, feeling the weight of the decision ahead of her. "It was... overwhelming," she replied honestly. "Nicholas wants us to give it another chance, to be a family again."Kay nodded, understanding the complexity of the situation. "And how do you feel about it?" he asked, trying to gauge her emotions.Rose hesitated, her heart conflicted. "I still love him, Kay," she admitted, her voice soft. "But I'm scared. Scared of getting hurt again, and scared of hurting Tristan."Kay sat beside her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "I understand," he said gently. "You have to do what feels right for you and Tri
