The Great Seducer 60
The whole day, Rose felt weak and sick. Maybe it's because she is stressed out. She always feels so tired and dizzy. She also vomited everything she ate today. Nicholas already went out on some meetings. She didn't want him to leave his work for her so she did not call him. She wanted to call Kay and tell him what is going on. But then she changed her mind against it yet. If only she could get Ellen to shut her mouth, things would be fine. She can calm down and explain everything to Nicholas. Her phone began to ring the moment she thought of going to the hospital. She didn't want to call Nicholas's doctors. That way, Nicholas would not have to worry about her. The less he worries, the less suspicious he would be. She checked the caller ID and it is Kay. She did not pick the first call, but he kept calling so she changed her mind. She picked the call without saying anything. She waited for him to talk, she could hear him breathing. Kay on the other hand doesn't under

"Kay, I need you." She said on the phone, after pondering for a while and finally arriving at a conclusion. She is sitting at the café where they usually meet and waiting for him to come. She could not think of going back as her head is full of different thoughts. "What's wrong Rose? You sound different." Kay asked her. "Why does everyone think I sound different? I always sound like this!" She snapped at him, completely forgetting for a moment that she called him for help. "Alright... Calm down. I didn't mean any harm asking you that. I'm not mad at you either. What's the matter?" She felt guilty that she yelled at him. But she can't even control her mood because of this same pregnancy. She now understands why she's always been angry and having mood swings. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you." She apologized to him. He sighed, "There's no need to apologize. I told you, I am not mad at you. Just tell me what's wrong? Why do you need me?" "It

"What?" Rose exclaimed after thinking about what Kay just said to her. The thought of running away for the rest of her life scared of people who want to kill her. This is not how she planned her life. She already has enough enemies and now her life is completely ruined. "I'm not asking you to run away forever. You just have to lay low for a while until everyone calms down." Kay assured her. Rose shook her head in disagreement, "If they won't calm down now, there's no way they would forever. They will eventually find me and kill me. And this innocent child will have to die for it. I can't... I can't live like that." Kay took her hand into his, "Listen, I'm more unhappy to know you got pregnant for that guy but you can't risk your life." "Then what do I do?" She cried. He nodded, "You just have to lay low for now. Do this for your baby and family. We need to get them out of where they are." At the mention of her family, she felt very uncomfortable. Sh

The next day as promised, Rose went out on a date with Nicholas. She tried her best to be happy and smile a lot. She put the problems behind her and had lots of fun. They went to the theme park, the movies and a very fancy restaurant in the evening. She could not stop thinking about him. He has no clue whatsoever of what is going on. She thought about telling him the truth. Would things be different if she told him the truth? They sat down at another large field area close to the river and a large bridge. They're watching the stars like every other couple there. She decided to listen to her impulsive thoughts and ask him what's on her mind. "The stars look so pretty tonight. It's been a very long time since I did stuff like this." He said happily. "I am glad to have met you. My life changed after I met you." "Can I ask you a question?" She asked him instead of replying him. He nodded with a smile, still not getting the seriousness of the situation. "Go ahead my

"Rose? Rose!!" Nicholas called in panic. He just woke up from a nightmare and he was restless. Opening his eyes and not seeing her beside him made it worse. "What's going on? Rose! Where is she?" He asked no one. He jumped from the bed and searched the room. She was nowhere in the room or the changing room. This made his anxiety level high. He wore some clothes and went out to the bathroom to check for her. He checked his private living room and the hidden room. He did not find her there strangely enough. He was more restless as he called her phone but it wasn't going through. He decided to call James out of anger. James wasn't picking up on time. He was very pissed the moment James picked the call. "James! Where are you?" He yelled once James picked up. "Boss... It's very early in the morning. I am trying to get..." "I can't find Rose! I need you to find her right now!" He ordered, cutting James off. "Yes boss!" James accepted and the call ende

A video message from Rose was what Nicholas received. All efforts to call her number after proved abortive. After seeing the video, he decided to call with every other person's phone but it wasn't going. When he finally tracked the phone for the few minutes someone switched it on, he found it with a homeless man. The phone was thrown into the trashcan. Nicholas asked his men to stop looking for her and left on his own. He went to the field where they went last night. He sat on the grass, ignoring the people around him. He could not stop thinking about what just happened. FLASHBACK After getting the message, he tried calling her number immediately but it was switched off. That broke his heart to a million pieces. So he checked what was on the message. He had a hunch that something bad was happening. It was a video message. "What's this? Why are you sending me a video instead of talking to me directly? What did you do?" He asked frustratingly. Then he played

Disappointed that he didn't see Rose in the room, he switched on the lights after moving away from Ellen. He gave her a questioning and threatening look. She was wearing a revealing short night gown that has too many holes in it. Was she trying to seduce him at a time like this? "I asked you a question Ellen." He stated while sitting down, totally looking away from her. "What are you doing here in my room?" She shrugged, then proceeded to sit beside him with a happy smile. "I was waiting for you to come home. I guess you must have seen her since you didn't come or call all day. I was only worried." She told him. However, he found it hard to believe that she would actually worry about him looking for Rose. He would have suspected her if Rose didn't send that video. He still doesn't want to talk to anyone. "You can go out now that you have seen me. Just avoid me for now. I don't want to talk to anyone." He said, making his way to the bed. "What's wrong?

Don Bernardo is moving around the room restlessly. He is unable to reach Rose or find her. He got a video message for Rose confessing that she got caught and she is running away. There's no way she would leave the city without anyone seeing her. Yet his men have not seen her here or any other city. It's like she completely disappeared. He is more worried with the fact that he might get attacked by Nicholas thanks to what Rose might have confessed. More of his men arrived and they all had the disappointment on their faces. This made him more anxious and frustrated. Rose helped him build up his wealth more and easily for the past five years. Now she is taking that away from him? One of the team leaders looking for Rose arrives with more sad news. "I am sorry boss. We couldn't find her anywhere. No one has seen her at all even in the next two cities around. We also checked the countryside and there's nothing. No trace of her at all." This riled up more anger in Don Bernardo. He ended

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

"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
