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
After one year....Livi gave birth to two healthy baby boys. The doctors regretfully informed her that she might not be able to conceive again, which was fine. She already has three kids. Her elder son Samuel turned out to be like Kairo. Protective and smart. It is evident that he will become the successor of Kairo Bianchi. "Mrs. Bianchi, shall I take master Samuel out to play?" Amber asked Rose who is feeding one of her months old babies.Rose gave a knowing smile."Of course, why not?" she replied.Samuel who was playing in the room face palmed himself with exacerbation."Really? again? Amber, if you like uncle Atlas, go and talk to him directly just like how aunt Lola speaks with uncle Naim. Please don't take me with you. You keep staring at him and he keeps staring at you. When will you both talk to each other?" Samuel asked with a cute huff. His antics made Rose laugh out loud. Amber blushed beet red.Atlas developed a liking to Amber. It's obvious to everyone around them. He i
Livi, Lola and Rose had a blast in their spa session. Their Spa was relaxed and filled with fun and banter. After the Spa, a stylist came to do their hair and makeup. Rose was so relaxed that she fell asleep when her make up and hair styling were being done. "Rose, wake up" Livi gently shook Rose awake. Rose woke up feeling fresh and relaxed. Her eyes fluttered open. A gasp left her lips when her landed on her reflection in the mirror. Her hair was twisted into an elegant updo. There were some hair accessories adoring her hair, making it sparkle. Her makeup is done to perfection."Wow" she whispered. The woman in the mirror looked breathtakingly beautiful. Livi and Lola smile from behind."Now that it's done, get up. It's time to get dressed. Kairo is waiting for us" Livi ushered Rose into the changing room. Rose looked at the wedding gown hanging there with awe. She loved this dress when she first saw it, and she is excited to finally wear it. Quickly she stripped and dressed h
After their close call in Alesso's room, both Rose and Alesso sighed with relief that they were not caught."Thank God Livi didn't suspect anything. If your scary husband finds out that you already know about their plan, he is going to think of a scary punishment for me for sure" Alesso shuddered just the thought of Kairo's punishments.Rose hid her smile at his reaction. But she likes Alesso whose original intention was to look out for her. So she decided to help him."Brother, don't worry. Let's pretend that we don't know anything about the surprise. I will pretend to be stunned when the time comes. That way, our secret will be safe" she suggested.Alesso looked at her with cute puppy dog eyes."Sister, you are the best and very sweet. I don't want to get punished by your husband" he said while blinking his eyes pretending to be pitiful.Rose giggled at his antiques."It's a pinky promise from my side. I will not tell anyone about this" she promised.As if Kairo and Livi were notifi
By the time Kairo , Livi and Alesso returned back to the Bianchi mansion, Rose was relaxing in the backyard while the kids were playing with each other."Hey baby" Kairo kissed his wife's cheek lovingly. Alesso was watching this from afar. "How was your day? Did you find what you were looking for?" Rose asked Kairo.He grinned and kissed her cheek again."Ofcourse. I will go change and come back. We can have dinner together" he said changing the subject.Rose didn't suspect that there must be something is wrong. "Alright" she replied softly.Kairo left after that. Alesso took that opportunity to share about the wedding dress with Rose. He approached her and sat on the chair beside her."Hello brother in law" Rose greeted him.Despite the gossip which Alesso came to share with her, he still smiled at her fondly. "You can chop that in-law part. Call me brother. I love to have a sister as sister as you" he said with a soft smile. Alesso warmed up to Rose who is genuinely sweet and c
A few Days passed in a happy harmony. Miller passed away in his own misery and begged to kill him the last few days before he passed away. The pain on his shoulder and face were too much to bear. But he couldn't move a muscle to do anything but bear the pain. At the same time, Terry passed away a day after Miller. Terry died with a stroke because he was scared to live with Miller's dead body. Everything was finally happy.Lola and Naim's marriage date was finalized. Livi, Lola and Rose were busy with shopping and spa days. The ladies were happy to say the least. Their husbands were happy to see their wife's happiness. But Russell was worried about Rose. His medicine still has two weeks to finish the fermentation process, but he is worried if Rose could keep the twins for that long. He is happy to see Rose happy, but he couldn't help but feel anxious. Just like he feared, one day Rose complained of some discomfort in her stomach. Russell became anxious. He didn't tell her that his me
Kairo broke Terry's ankle bones as well, effectively making him incapable of moving on his limbs. Terry's cries of pain were muffled by a gag which was binded around his mouth. This side of Kairo made even Miller scared. He didn't dare to utter a single word. "Now that's much better. Let's see who would save you both from here. I am gifting you a very painful and a slow death. You both might not shed a single drop of blood, but your wounds and broken bones would kill you from within. Your wounds will rot from inside and make you suffer each second that you are alive until you die. Without food and water, you won't survive for more than a week or ten days. In your current condition, you won't be able to move either. Roll in your own piss and shit and bear the brunt of Kairo Bianchi's anger untill the second you die" Kairo said angrily.Miller is also gagged, so that he won't be able to call for help. "That's much better. You bought this upon yourself Miller. You shouldn't have thoug
"Who called me just now?" Miller inquired when the doctor didn't share anything. Instead, the doctor placed his mobile beside him and adjusted the liquid in the needle he was holding in his other hand.The doctor didn't say anything, instead he approached Miller and stabbed the needle into his arm roughly. "It was Terry. He said that Kairo found your location and he is outside right now. Terry wanted you to run away from here" the doctor drawled lazily after he injected the liquid into Miller's veins.The doctor moved away from Miller and stood in front of him. Miller is stunned to hear this. "You fool, why didn't you tell this earlier?" he fumed and tried to stand up on his feet to run. But the moment he stood up, Kairo walked inside and the doctor removed his hat and mask revealing that it was Alessandro the whole time.Miller is stunned. He tried to run away, but stumbled and fell down with a loud thud. He hissed with pain."Did you give him the medicine?" Kairo inquired.Alessa
In the Bianchi Mansion, Rose is feeling anxious for some reason. Kids are playing happily while Livi and Russell are engaged in a funny banter which would have made her laught out loud. But today, she couldn't be herself and relax for even a little while. Her anxiety is building as the the seconds ticked by. 'Is this unsettling feeling because of my dream from last night? Why do I feel like my Kairo will get into some trouble?' she wondered feeling stressed.Russell and Livi noticed how distracted Rose is. She is not usually like this. But today she seems to be in distress. They both exchanged worried glances."Rose? What happened? You look troubled?" Livi asked softly.Rose turned her head to look at Livi with a forced smile."It's nothing " she lied. What can she tell them? That she is worried about a dream? It would look absurd. But who would tell that to her gut.Livi looked at Russell and nodded at him."Rose, clearly it's not nothing. You look lost and preoccupied since morning
'Kairo stepped out of his car and was walking up inside the mansion, when a loud gun shot was heard and he grunted with shock and pain. His crisp and neat suit is now drenched with blood. He fell down on the floor.'That's when Rose woke up from her dream gasping for breath. She had a nightmare where Kairo was shot. She is breathing heavily and looked at her side to see Kairo sleeping beside her. She is sweating and the fragments of her dream refused to leave her. 'That was a dream. A very bad dream. Is it just a dream or something else? ' she thought worriedly.Kairo woke up when he felt the bed dip when Rose leaned down to pick up the water glass and took a two mouthfuls."Rose? What happened? Why do you look so pale?" he inquired. Even under the dimly lit bedroom light, he can see how pale she looks. As if she has seen a ghost.Rose turned to look at him with worry. "I..had a dream" she shared with him.He sat up beside her and cupped her cheeks affectionately."A dream? You wor
