The Great Seducer 39
BANG! The door barged open and an enraged human stormed in. The air that followed him seems to be in support of his anger too. Don Bernardo sighed in frustration, knowing what would come out of his mouth the moment he came in. "What's it again this time? Is she dead?" Don Bernardo asked him. Kay's eyes widened in shock, he did not think that his father would be capable of doing such a despicable thing. They have done a lot of evil things but killing people was not part of it. He thought his father was just threatening Rose back then. He fell on the chair, his legs became too weak to stand. He looked his father in the eyes, his eyes getting red. "Dad, was it really you? You sent someone to kill her?" He asked again to be sure. Don Bernardo scoffed, "Please, I have no idea what you are talking about. I am just asking if she's dead or not. That's the only reason you would barge in like this." The denial got Kay more mad than before. "Are you fucking with

Ellen walked out of the club trying to find Kay but she did not see him anywhere. She scoffed angrily. She had seen Kay watching the gate when she drove by earlier. She pretended to be going somewhere else to see who the person was. She parked the car somewhere closeby and watched Kay for as long as he stayed there. She knows no one would dare stay right in front of Nicholas's resident unless they want something. After watching the car leave, she decided to follow the person and found out it's a man. She saw the man chasing away everyone that came towards him so she tried. She is surprised to see how good looking he is and wondered what he could want. She decided to feed her curiousity by mentioning Rose. To her surprise, he reacted in a different way. She knows he is hiding something from her. She drove back to the villa and asked Nicholas to see her outside. She is ready to expose Rose though she may not have full evidence yet. If only Nicholas would investigate her, then

Nicholas went back to the room to check on Rose. After he cooked for her, she took drugs rested. She has been asleep for a few hours and he has been busy watching her before Ellen called him. He sat down beside her, admiring her with a smile. He is relieved that she is safe now but is furious because he hasn't caught the culprit yet. His mind went to what Ellen said about Rose. He did not believe it. He only thinks Ellen is doing this out of spite for Rose. He understands why Ellen sees her as a competition, it's all because of him. "I am going to catch the bastards that did this to you. I'll make them pay enough that they'll never come across me in their next lives." He promised holding her hand. She opened her eyes with a smile, "Thanks for your promise." His eyes lit up, "You are awake. How do you feel now? Do you need anything?" She shook her head, "I don't need anything. You are already here, that's all I need. You shouldn't act recklessly just to get revenge. I don't want

Nicholas left the hospital after sorting out what he needed and went straight home to Rose. He couldn't stop thinking about Ellen on the way. The fact that Ellen got into an accident just because of him made him realize how obsessive she was. He had never thought of it that way but with what he has seen now, he doesn't need to be told twice. There's definitely something wrong with Ellen if she's keeps acting that way. Things are not supposed to be like that. He got back home and went to the training building first to get some things from her apartment before going to his villa. FLASHBACK "Don't leave Nicholas. Can't you just stay with me?" She said, weakly closing her eyes and holding on to him tight. Nicholas sighed in frustration. She looked so pale and weak, why is she thinking of him at a time like this? "I don't know what you are doing right now. You got hurt and you should focus on getting better not doing this. Just rest up." He scolded her. However, she is not the ty

BEFORE NICHOLAS CAME HOME Rose could not fall asleep as she kept thinking of Nicholas going to Ellen. Even though she suggested it, she hated it with all her might. How can she let such a thing happen to her? She regretted asking him to check on Ellen. She must be crazy to have suggested such a thing. "What was I thinking? Sending my boyfriend to that manipulative witch! Now she'll do everything just to coax him into staying with her!" She complained angrily. The door suddenly opened, her eyes lit up thinking that Nicholas came back already. But she's disappointed to see it's just a woman her age, dressed in the maid's uniform. Rose stared at the maid unable to understand why she would barge in like that. "Excuse me miss, don't you think you should knock before coming into the room?" Rose asked her politely. The maid gave Rose a glare and clearly had judgment written on her face. "I was told you would be sleeping since you are injured. I didn't want to
The Great Seducer 44
"Is that what happened?" Nicholas asked the maid after Rose explained everything. The maid looked down, but she wasn't ready to confess her wrongdoings. She isn't going to let Rose win her just like that. "Sir, she is just saying this because the drugs are having a great effect on her. I have no idea what she wants. She has been sending me up and down since and she threatened to report me when you arrive." "What? You lying-" Rose tried to say but the maid cut her off. "Miss, I don't know why you are doing this to me? Please don't make me lose my job. I've done nothing wrong." She pleaded with Rose faking her tears. Rose could hardly believe how fake and manipulating the maid is. Rose believes that this maid is worse than her. How can she lie so openly with no remorse. Edwin scoffed, "Shut your mouth! She wouldn't lie against you just because she is under the use of drugs. You did this, didn't you?" "No sir! I am telling you the truth! She's just doi
The Great Seducer 45
Kay has been conducting a secret investigation over the last few days to find out if his father has something to do with Rose's shooting or someone else. Even though he hasn't spoken to Rose for days, he still feels responsible for all that is happening to her. Being the son of her captor is enough to make him hate his existence. But his father is not understanding the situation at all. He is afraid that he might never see her again if he doesn't do something. "What have you been doing for the past few days?" Harry asked out of nowhere. Kay was lost in thoughts as he kept looking at the information on his phone. He is still unable to get the pieces together. It's like the people who did this to her are ghosts. They must have a good source if they are able to hide this well. He jumped when Harry arrived from nowhere, "Are you fucking with me man! What the hell are you doing appearing like that?!" Harry shrugged, "I've been doing your job for a few days, that's what."

Ellen opened her eyes again for the umpteenth time in the day. She has been in the hospital for a few days and has only seen Nicholas once. She is sad and annoyed that she can't leave even if she wants to because Nicholas strictly instructed the hospital not to let her out. Nicholas was said to be on an emergency trip for the past few days which is why he could not come to the hospital. She thinks Nicholas is probably at home with Rose and lying about his trip. While she was still thinking about this, James walked in with some food. She scoffed and looked away. When the door opened, she has gotten to excited thinking it was Nicholas. They say when you think of someone too much, they are the next person you would see walking through the door. All that seems to be a lie. James gently put down the food bag he brought. His eyes scanned the room, hopefully waiting for her to look at him. It would be a lie at this point if he denies what he feels for Ellen. It's something he's alw

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

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

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

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.
