"Rose, did it ever cross your mind that Sylvia must be lying?" Serra asked when Rose did not respond to her suggestion.Yes, it did cross her mind just now."Lying? Why do you think that she would be lying to me?" Rose inquired, asking for Serra's suggestion.Serra reached her apartment building and gently wheeled her baby inside the lobby before replying."Based on everything you told me about Sylvia, I gathered that she is arrogant and short-tempered. She manhandled you when you guys first met. No matter what her justification might be, it was wrong on all accounts. The baby might be Kairo's. But, what if it was a mistake and he doesn't love her like he loves you?" Serra expressed her doubt.Rose turned pale. If that's the case, then that means Sylvia was playing with her all this time. Everything started to get clear in her head. Every doubt and suspicion started to dissolve as her situation became clear. "You are right. I told you that she is living with him now. Maybe he is taki
Rose ran downstairs in search of Kairo, only to find his figure disappearing out of the main door. She saw him rushing out as if he had to be somewhere immediately. "Kairo" she called for him and even ran after him to catch up to him. But his car zoomed past the driveway while the tires made a loud sound because of how fast Kairo was pressing the acceleration.Rose stood outside the door alone while looking at the car which left the gates.'Where is he going? He wanted me to have dinner with him, then what came up so suddenly that he was in such a rush' she wondered."Mrs.Bianchi, can I serve you dinner now?" someone asked Rose from behind her.Rose was so lost in her thoughts that she jumped a little when she heard a foreign voice. She whirled around to find a lovely Italian woman in her late twenties standing there with a pleasant smile. The woman is wearing a black maid uniform with a black and white bow tie."I apologize, I didn't mean to startle you just now" the woman apologize
Kairo is surveying the damage done to his men and the bullets that are laid on the ground looking harmless. But he knows better. A bullet is never harmless.This is one of his many warehouses in Italy where he stores weapons and other things that are not legal to export and import. But he does them anyway."What happened?" he inquired one of his men who was there on the scene when it happened. "It happened suddenly, boss. We were not expecting anyone to storm in here and attack us. They were wearing black clothes and were hiding their faces. They drove here in a black van without a number plate. They started firing as soon as they entered the compound. It took us a couple of seconds to understand what was happening. But before we could counterattack, they left" he said. Kairo frowned. This does not make any sense."What was their purpose behind this attack? Attacking one of my warehouses needs a lot of courage. They came, shot my men, and left? This is not adding up. Did they try to
The next day, Rose woke up on the huge bed feeling relaxed and well-rested. She turned to see the other side of the bed empty and untouched. 'Looks like he didn't come back last night. What happened? Is there a problem back in Italy?' she thought with a worried frown.Her mobile started ringing, which startled her. She turned to look at the caller ID and was puzzled to see Miller's number flashing on the screen.'Why is he calling me so early?' she wondered.She contemplated if she should answer the call or not, but in the end, she decided to take it. She decided that it must be something important if he was calling so early."Hello Miller" she answered in a professional tone. She no longer could think about him as her friend. The way he proposed and his behavior the next day made her feel like, this was the real Miller and the man he tried to pretend to be was all a lie.Miller on the other hand is irritated. After Rose left abruptly the previous day, he found out about their new bo
Rose is stunned to hear that Kairo is hurt. Silent tears blurred her vision and her heart rate picked up with worry for Kairo. Tears of distress trickled down her cheeks and dripped down her chin and onto her lap. But she willed herself not to let Miller know that his confession affected her at all. The other fact that made her stomach churn was that Sylvia and Miller were working together. She should have guessed it long ago. After all, Sylvia is the one who introduced Miller to Rose. "So you are digging your own grave, Miller? You don't know that man like I do. And you are working with Sylvia? That snake. I should have realized that she doesn't love Kairo at all. It's really good that you both started messing with my husband. I might be weak and foolish that I fell for your tricks. But my Kairo is not. Mark my words, Miller. Your countdown just started from the last night. He is very stubborn. He will collect the clues and find his way to you both. And once he reaches you, no one c
After her mind-numbing conversation with Miller, Rose feels lost and lonely. She left the room still holding her mobile in her hand. It's the same room where Kairo left her the night before and slowly descended the stairs like a lost bird. She made her way to the kitchen area where she was sure she would find Lola. She is anxious about Kairo and she wants to know how he is doing."Rose, good morning " Lola greeted Rose when she noticed the other woman standing near the kitchen entrance with a dull look.Rose gave Lola a half smile, which she was sure might not look like a smile at all. "Morning Lola. You look busy" Rose mumbled.Lola frowned. Rose looks unnaturally pale and her body looks stiff. She made her way towards Rose, who stepped out of the kitchen and was standing with her back facing Lola."Hey, are you ok? You didn't sleep well last night? You look pale and stressed" Lola inquired with concern.Rose doesn't know whom to tell about Miller and Sylvia. She wants to tell Kairo
"Lola told me" That lie tore from her lips before she could stop herself. Rose panicked. 'I shouldn't have known about his injury in the first place. Why did I ask him?' she cursed herself. She knows why she wanted to know how he is. Because she felt like she was dying inside with worry for him if she didn't find out. She couldn't stay silent without finding out about his health. He sounded normal, so she was relieved, to say the least. She knows that she shouldn't dig herself deeper and make him suspect that something is amiss. So she decided to disconnect the call before that happened. "I have some work in the office. I got to go" she excused herself and immediately disconnected the call before giving him a chance to speak again.She looked at the now blank screen with guilt. Her heart felt heavy and she felt lonely.'I am so sorry Kairo. You married a coward. You would have been happy if you married someone else.' she thought as sorrow started to eat at her conscience. 'I have
'Get ready to become mine, Rose' Miller's lecherous words made Rose work hard to get herself and the company out of this mess. Miller and her colleagues taunted her and were eager to watch her fail. "Look at her. How she is pretending to really work hard. Why does she have to mess this up in the first place?""All she needs is attention. She would do anything for attention""You are right. Look at her new clothes. Till yesterday she used to wear old and ill-fitting clothes. Now she came wearing that expensive dress. Must have caught the attention of a rich man. That must be the reason why she rejected Mr. Miller's proposal""No matter what she wears, she is still looking like a freak. Look at those glasses""But that body, it's like a wet dream. She would look cute without those glasses""She must be using that body to her advantage"Taunts, insults, and comments are thrown at Rose from all directions. As the evening was fast approaching, even the clients started taunting her and gi
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
