On the ranch, Kairo and Rose are riding on one of the horses. Rose doesn't know how to ride a horse. But Kairo does. She is sitting in the front while he is sitting behind her on the horse. The horse is throttling slowly. The pace is leisurely and relaxed. Kairo is not in a hurry to end the ride soon. This is his wife's first horse ride, and he doesn't want to scare her. It took some persuasion on his part to make her agree to ride a horse in the first place. So he doesn't want to scare her with speed. "This is good" Rose murmured softly, while her palm is absent-mindedly caressing the soft fur of the animal. He smiled at her words. Initially, when she sat on the horse, her body was so stiff and she was ready to jump down at any second. But now, she is relaxed and is leaning into him while taking in the wilderness around them. This place is not the wilderness that we find in a forest. This is controlled and is suitable for the horses and the ranch environment. This land is green an
"Kairo? Is there anything wrong? Is it the call from earlier? Why are you speaking of forgiveness all of a sudden?" she asked with a worried frown.He kissed her on her forehead and on her cheek before replying."Why shouldn't I ask you for your forgiveness? You are my wife, my other half. In fact, every husband should ask his wife for forgiveness if they do something to hurt her. I won't become small by asking you to forgive me, will I? You are more important than my damn pride and ego" he spoke softly, diverting her attention from her call.She smiled at his antiques."Fine, you can ask. But what did you do wrong?" she inquired curiously. As far as she remembered, he always treated her right. He never hid his personality from her. He was always transparent and never deceived her with false promises. She couldn't come up with anything for which he needed to be forgiven. He kissed her lips again. He is guilty."I married you like a caveman. Showed my misplaced anger to you. And even
"Ahhh...""Please stop""No""It's hurting so much""No, stop"Sylvia's cries of pain echoed around the operating room. But no one paid her any mind. They all pretended as if they heard nothing. This is new to everyone involved in the operation. They all are tensed and scared. But none of them dared to open their mouths and protest. Quietly they did what they do best.After crying with pain for a while, Sylvia started to slip in and out of consciousness. Russell made sure that she was alive and still the work was done as required. They successfully extracted the required bone marrow tissue before stitching her up."Shift her into another room. We have to transfer this to the little boy soon" Russell instructed before leaving the room.The supporting doctors and nurses they left the operation theater to clean their hands."Who is this woman? What did she do to deserve this kind of fate?" one of the nurses whispered to her colleague.The other one is shaken by what happened. Everyone kn
In the hospital, Amber and the nurses were taking care of little Samuel after his operation. He is still unconscious, but his vitals are promising. The doctors are positive that his disease will be cured completely.Lola and Naim are standing outside Samuel's room. They are watching the boy with mixed emotions. "I wonder how Rose would react once she finds out that he is her biological son" Lola murmured thoughtfully. She is still feeling slight discomfort in her eyes, but apart from that, her eyesight improved a lot. So many things are going on in the mansion that she can't stay in her room as if nothing happened. Lola only met Rose recently. But she has known about the existence of the woman for a long time. She used to have mixed feelings about Rose before she met her. She used to feel a bit angry that Rose left their boss and became the cause of his misery. But after meeting Rose and getting to know her better, she now understands her very well and loves and respects the other w
"Is it? Then what about Samuel?" she inquired with concern. She cannot imagine how miserable that little boy would be if he were with Sylvia.Kairo fisted his palm tightly. Sylvia is just a surrogate and a cheat. She is not Samuel's mother. She is just pretending to be one. If not for Samuel's sickness, he would have never been able to find out that Samuel is actually their biological son. But he never imagined that Sylvia would destroy the chances for Rose to conceive and have kids. "She did not take him along with her. Samuel is in the hospital. He is not well" he shared the half-truth. Rose became anxious when she heard that Samuel was sick."what? What happened to him? Why didn't you tell me before?" she asked feeling worried.Kairo placed his arm around her shoulder to assure her."There was a small health issue with him since birth. He was supposed to undergo a small surgery. We delayed it because of his young age. Now Grandpa felt that we could go ahead with his surgery. Doct
Kairo walked inside the basement followed by Naim, Atlas, and two other men. One of the two is the bodyguard assigned to the safety of Rose alongside Atlas.One of the men pulled a chair to the middle of the room, just underneath the dim light which is hanging from the ceiling.Kairo did not sit. Instead, he glared at Sylvia with anger and resentment. His hands are buried in his pant pockets. "Is this it? Does our 5-year-old companionship mean nothing to you? We were engaged for two years as well. It means nothing to you? I am the mother of your child, does that mean nothing? You decided to kill me just because I offended her?" Sylvia asked Kairo. She struggled to sit up while holding the wall for support. No one made a move to help her. At this point, they all hate Sylvia. Kairo chuckled loudly at her words. His voice is hollow and cold. "Companionship? Sylvia, you are delusional. You are as much of a stranger to me as you were on the first day I met you, and you are a stranger to
After his confrontation with Sylvia, Kairo is restless. He couldn't forget the smug satisfaction shining in Sylvia's eyes. She was more happy and sure that Miller would take Rose away from her rather than worrying about the fact that she was going to die soon. 'Where is this confidence coming from? Why was she so sure that he would succeed this time? What changed? What does she know that we don't know about Miller? ' Kairo raked his brain to think about something that would help them to piece this puzzle together.Based on his last encounter with Miller, Kairo knows that the man is spineless and would not dare to attack directly. So he has to come at them indirectly. That's where Kairo is stuck. He is wondering how Miller is going to get to Rose crossing his security. The weakest one of his men is enough to kill Miller.'What is he planning?' he thought with a hint of anxiety.A knock sounded on his office room door, where he is currently sitting now.A second later, Naim walked insi
"Hello Grandpa" Rose greeted Russell.Instead of reacting to her greeting, he simply turned away from her. No smile, nothing. He dismissed her. His intent is clear. He doesn't want to talk to her. She is not welcome in his room.'Is he angry with me for some reason? Is that why he is not talking to me?' she wondered.She should have him alone because he doesn't want to talk to her. But she couldn't bring herself to do that. She wanted to know why he was upset with her and what she could do to make it right. "Grandpa, are you angry with me?" she asked softly.She is still standing just a step inside his room and did not dare to go inside. Russell scoffed bitterly at her question."Angry? Who am I to be angry with you? I am just a nobody. An inconvenience for all of you" he muttered feeling betrayed.Rose gasped with shock at his words."Grandpa? Why are talking like that? Tell me what I did to upset you this way. Please" she pleaded with him and took a few steps inside his room. Rus
