The Great Seducer 69
Rose got to the new apartment she's going to live in at Vernice City. This city is the last place anyone would suspect her to go to. It is very far from her city and is one of the busiest cities in the countries. Even if anyone looked for her, it would take them a lifetime to find her. The apartment is nice and reminded her of her old apartment. She dropped her bag, looking around the place. There's nothing much for her to clean. Everything has already been prepared by Kay. It took her two days to get here. It wasn't easy escaping. She had gone to the subway to confuse anyone that looks for her just like Kay suggested. Then she left the subway secretly amidst the crowd, and changed her clothes. She got into a food truck that moved her out of the city. It wasn't easy as she almost got caught. But Kay already prepared everything with the driver. It was only after they had gone two cities away before she could join the driver in the driver's seat. The driver dropped he

Rose's parents, Collins and Esther Arthur together with their second child Aileen were cleaning the house together in expectation of their long lost family, Rose. The same person who helped them escape long ago gave them the great news. They had resented Rose for years without knowing what she was going through. They thought she left the family and abandoned her sick sister because she got tired of being poor. So every time Rose sent them money, they didn't use it. They've kept all the money Rose sent them all these years in a safe place, just to prove their anger. But everything changed when they met their saviour. They have always felt watched for some reason for years, but didn't take it serious since no one hurt them or their daughter. They only got concerned when they met Kay. He told them everything they needed to know about what happened to their daughter, and he also confessed being the owner's son. They felt so bad and worried about her. Thankfully, Kay explaine

It was a moment of joy and sadness for the family. Rose stared at her family waving at her at the distance but she didn't move. They stopped waving, seeing how she wasn't reacting at all. "Are you sure that our daughter? She keeps looking at us like we are crazy." Collins asked, still staring at Rose. "That's my sister! I can recognize her even if it's five years!" Aileen argued. Esther nodded, "It is her. Maybe she just wants to watch us. She probably wants nothing to do with us anymore. I can understand that. It's all my fault." This made Aileen feel bad. ‘Should I go over and call her?’ While contemplating on what to do, Rose started coming towards them. They all froze on their spots because they did not expect her to come towards them. She finally made a stop at the small gate and opened it. She walked in, stopping in front of them. It took her a long moment of hesitation before she came to them. She considered running away but she knows it's hard for her to run away fo

After reconciling with her parents, Rose felt more at ease to deal with the challenges ahead. She has enough money to live an extravagant lifestyle but she doesn't want to. It's better for her to keep her head down than try to gain attention. She started thinking of what to do to keep her mind off things. It is already winter now, which means everywhere will be covered in snow. Even though she is trying to move on, there is a part of her that will always be missing. It's going to take a long time to heal especially since she is crazy about him. "I wonder how he is doing now. He must have become worse than before because of me. He must be so heartbroken. I wish I could comfort him and ask for forgiveness directly." She thought sadly. The door bell rang. She stopped cleaning and rushed to open the door. She had ordered a fried chicken delivery and she was looking forward to it. Once she opened the door, she was surprised instead. There's Kay standing at the door with a huge smile o

The next day, Rose was going to the hospital for her prenatal care. Kay tagged along. Rose saw every pregnant woman at the hospital being accompanied by their partners. She looked at Kay and felt relieved. It would have been a shame if he wasn't there with her. Kay could sense what she felt. He held her hand to comfort her. He did not mind the doctor making a mistake by calling him the baby's father. He just smiled and joked along with the doctor. However, this made Rose feel bad. She felt bad that she was using him. Even though he told her not to worry about it, she still can't help but feel sorry. She wondered what it would be like to have Nicholas follow her like this. They could have been so happy. She is going to regret what she did to him for the rest of her life. It's only logical that she pays for what she did to him. "Stop thinking about it. Now is not the time for you to regret or feel sorry. It's not your fault. You are the victim in all of this. You did

FIVE YEARS LATER "Mommy! Look what I got in maths science today! I am a genius!" A young child flopped down the her, waking his mother from sleep. "Tristan!" Another voice shouted, coming inside the room. "I told you not to run around the house. It's dangerous for you!" His mother smiled, "Darling, you should listen to your aunt. Don't be stubborn." He sulked a bit, "I'm sorry aunt Aileen." Aileen laughed, "Look at you acting like they gave you a death sentence. Don't worry sweetie, I am not mad at you. Just let your mom rest. She was busy all through the night." He looked at his mother, "Miss Rose, did you really work overnight? Is that why you are not going to the pastry shop today?" Miss Rose is a playful way her son calls her sometimes when he wants to joke around. Even though he is still a little boy, he is very smart. He always reminds her of his father due to how smart and fast he is. Rose laughed, "Darling, let me rest a bit. I promise you that I'll be going to t

"Do you have something to say to me?" She asked him while they were having dinner together. He keeps glancing at her occasionally which makes her wonder if he has something to say to her. He smiled, "Am I not allowed to look at your beautiful face? Don't you think you are being too cruel?" She rolled her eyes, "How about you look at your food instead of looking at me?" He shook his head in disagreement, "I want to look at your face. I'm finally able to see dark circles around your eyes after a few months." She glared at him, but then immediately laughed. He knows how to make her laugh even if she is having a tough time. The only person who has been there through thick and thin for her all these years. The one who gave her enough strength to keep doing. She hardly had any moment of sadness with him around. But her feelings? "Now what are you thinking about staring at me like that?" He asked her instead. She scratched her head. Then she quickly looked a

Rose rushed to carry her son. Kay also helped her bring Tristan to the couch. The little confused boy stared at the both of them in confusion. "Mommy, why are you not saying anything?" Tristan asked her again. She shook her head quickly with a smile, "No darling. How can you say such a thing? We are not talking about your father." "Yes. Why would your dad be a killer? We were not talking about him. Why are you even awake?" Kay asked him trying to change the subject. "I wanted to drink some water but I heard you talking so I came because I missed you uncle." Rose held his little hand, "Darling, you know it's wrong to eavesdrop on people right? Besides there's no one trying to kill me. It is just a phrase." He looked down sadly, "I am sorry mommy and uncle. I didn't mean to. I'll never do that again." She smiled and hugged him, "It's okay darling. You need to go to school tomorrow so let me put you to bed." Kay stopped her, "Let me take my god
