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
"I don't want to leave you. But I would if you want me to" Rose opened her heart out in front of the old man.Russell on the other hand couldn't see Rose in so much distress. She is, after all, a victim of her circumstances. Nothing was intentional and it just happened. Russel gathered that she was trying not to hurt him with the truth."Please don't hate me, Grandpa. I cannot bear it" she whispered sadly.That did it. The old man approached the crying young girl and pulled her up from the ground. She already suffered so much and there is also the fact about her unable to have children. He knows how much she is going to be in distress. He doesn't want to add to her pain and instead becomes a part of her solace."Don't cry dear. I cannot see you like this. You know how much I hate to see you like this, right? I was hurt that you hid it from me. How can I hate my Rose? Grandpa loves you more than Kairo. I am not so shallow minded my dear. I would never blame you for the crimes your pare
In the Bianchi mansion, Lola noticed that Naim looked distracted. He looked stressed and was barking orders to the men around. She was casually taking a walk on the lawn beside the man while watching him. She is not making it look obvious that she is checking him out. She was pretending that she was minding her own business. As Russell instructed her not to cook or do anything that would strain her eyes, she was left with doing nothing. She cannot watch TV or look at her phone. She cannot clean as the risk of the dust falling in her eyes is high. So she is bored and decides to take a walk. That's when she noticed Naim. By the looks of it, she understood that something was wrong.'What happened? All the men here look as if something is wrong. Is it about Sylvia? But Sylvia will die soon if not dead already. Then what is happening here' she wondered to herself. She was so distracted by her thoughts, that she didn't notice a small stone ahead of her. Her feet slipped on the stone and she
"Take it"Lola is stunned to see the gun which Naim wanted her to take. Women usually never interfere with whatever men in their world do. They will not hear anything, see anything, or ask anything. Even if they accidentally see or hear things that they shouldn't have, then they will conveniently forget everything the next second. So now Lola is shocked to see the gun."A gun?" she whispered with shock.She turned around to see if someone was watching them. But Naim pinched her chin with the hand with which he was holding the gun and turned her head to look at him.Lola was feeling uneasy when the cold metal of the gun touched her cheek."Ignore everyone, Lola. Listen to me, and only me. You will become my wife in the future" he was interrupted when she opened her mouth to protest."No..." she protested, but he pinched her chin a little bit harder to make her protest die down."Don't try to stop or resist the inevitable. But instead, listen to me very carefully" he said with seriousne
