Chapter 161 - Gone

The word rang in her ears, but Tessa could not register it.Even Leena was surprised, though she had somewhat expected it.“Gone!”Tessa widened her eyes. Trembling, she asked, “Come again?”“When I woke up, there was a letter.” “She told me not to find her, take care of you, and that she would come back,” William said indifferently, masking his emotions.He was back to being the person Tessa knew him as before he met Rosy.“Why?” She asked, barely suppressing her cries.“What’s wrong with you?” He asked directly.“What do you mean?” She was confused with the question.“Why do you need therapy?” William asked specifically.It took a moment for Tessa to realize what he was asking.Rosy’s pretend happy face and acting as if nothing had happened popped into her head. It all made sense now.“Hahahaha." She laughed self-deprecatingly."I knew it! I knew she wouldn't be able to handle it. That’s why I wanted to hide it from her.”She abruptly stopped. She looked at William and asked, “Is th

Chapter 162 - Three years later

It was a typical morning in the headquarters of the AR group.10-11 am in the mornings were for meetings for Felix and his boss.The first fifteen minutes every day were for the IT and security team.Felix thought his boss was paranoid about data security. Not that he dared to say it outright, but he still thought about that every morning.While Felix admired his boss's reasons for wanting to protect his company’s reputation and not wanting his employee’s efforts to go in vain, he still thought he was a little paranoid.Felix, the boss’s chief assistant, was forced to learn all the technical jargon.Even though there was now one more assistant supposedly assisting his boss, that rich brat was only making trouble for Felix and not being any help at all.In the entire year since Asteria Scott joined, Felix could not remember a single time when he felt his burden decrease.If anything, he felt he had to serve one more person without pay or position. Even more surprising was that his bos

Chapter 163 - The beeps

At 10 am, William and Felix held a meeting with the IT and security team.It went on well - no concerns or problems.Asteria jotted down the notes while coloring the hearts she drew on the notebook.After that came a long depressing meeting where the team that was - sacrifice of the day - it was different each day and repeated every two weeks - was in utter chaos, looking at the CEO’s unimpressed face.The market research team was supposed to bring quantifiable data to support one of the two proposed software they needed to develop.But they came back with crap with a small unrelated sample set.Felix could see that William was about to lose his temper and admonish the entire team for producing poor-quality work.Just as he was getting ready to hear William’s cold voice, he heard a familiar beep.Felix and a few people who had heard it before sucked in a deep sigh of relief. Asteria was confused and jealous but could do nothing about it.For an entire year, she had been hearing these

Chapter 164 - Cold war

Felix recalled that the beeps were infrequent at first.After about 5-6 months, Felix had overheard the conversation, well, fight between Albert and Tessa.“Albert, why can’t you just tell me?”“She had told us not to find her.”“She was not thinking straight at that time. What if she wants us to find her? What if she’s waiting?”“She knows where we are. You keep getting presents from her. Never once has she asked about Will. I am starting to doubt her.”“How dare you say that about her?”“What do you want me to say then?”“Just tell me her location, next time you get it, tell me straight away. I will go find her.”“What if she does not want us to find her?”“She does. She would never leave me behind.”“If that were the case, she would have directly or indirectly sent you the location.”“Maybe she has not figured out how.”“Really? I don’t even know her, yet I know it’s not true.”“Let me find her. She won’t mind if it’s me.”“It’s not my place to tell.”“You just don’t want to.”“Tes

Chapter 165 - Charity party

Tessa had been counting the days since she had received Rosaline’s note.On the other hand, William was just as tense.He had a feeling that his Rosaline was now coming back.He got excited yet scared.One day he received an invitation to a charity event.Asteria kept looking at it and did not seem to plan to hand it over.“Miss Scott?” William said questioningly.“Yes, Boss, this came just now. But it’s addressed only as William. I did not know what to do.” She replied meekly.“Give it to me.” William took it from her and coldly added, “you may leave.”“Boss, can you take me with you if you go to the charity party?”“No.”“Boss, I..”“Miss Scott, close the door on your way out.” William interrupted her mercilessly. Asteria gave up and left his office crying.Felix saw her and could only shake his head at her.She had been there for a year, but William had not spoken one kind word to her.William kept staring at the neat handwriting on the envelope.He caressed it lovingly and sighed

Chapter 166 - Meeting Timothy

Rosaline had been working without a break for the last few days.It was going to be the biggest charity event for CARE in its two-year run.When she had started it, it was just to lend a helping hand to a child who was suffering on the road, forced to beg and run from the syndicate of mercenaries who captured children to make them beg in the streets for their benefit.Despite being only seven at the time, Timothy was mature beyond his age.Even then, he understood that those mercenaries who promised to provide good food and shelter to the kids were evil. He lived one day at a time - minute to minute - working if he could, going hungry if he could not.No one would employ a dirty-looking seven-year-old lest they get caught by authorities for child abuse.The most he had managed over the years was helping out in restaurants late at night.Rosaline had found out about his policy.‘I will do all the dishes for you; you give me dinner and a blanket.’Over the years, he had managed to scra

Chapter 167 - CARE

“Miss Rosy, since you care, you will find a way. It will be difficult and might take a long time, but you will find it nonetheless.”Timothy’s words ignited hope in Rosaline.It was his words that had planted the seeds of the CARE foundation in her heart.It had taken them nearly two months since she brought Timothy home to resolve the issue with the syndicate. But it was merely the end of a beginning.The real problem was providing for those kids.Ill treated as they were, they slept under a non-leaking roof and ate every night when they worked for mercenaries.After getting rescued, even that became rare.It took her a few more months to generate enough funding, gather support, and register her non-profit organization - CARE.On one of the days when she was busy working for CARE registration, she realized she no longer had insomnia or panic attacks.Perhaps because she was too busy to think - between her work in Scott designs, which she had managed to negotiate to be allowed to work

Chapter 168 - Meet again

Rosaline had not fully immersed herself in her work.She also traveled, took a few days off to relax in a hotel spa or shop, or just got wasted. She took therapy sessions and gradually weaned off them.She would send things to Tessa, Jack, Leena, her parents, Maddox and Ria, and Jeremy and Miranda.As much as she wanted to meet William, ask about him, and send things to him, she did not.She only sent him GPS locations. More and more frequently each time.Finally, she was ready to go back, to face him without guilt and shame.She had been feeling butterflies in her stomach. She was nervous and clumsy.Two days before the charity night, she was helping the staff decorate the CARE home in M city.This time the venue was CARE home. They would also do the official opening ceremony at the charity event.The inhabitants, only a handful, for now, were residing in a temporary home for the time being.Other CARE inhabitants were en route for their performance in the event and auction of the i

Chapter 169 - I missed you so much

William shook his head a few times to gather his bearings.As he recalled what had happened, he looked around to see Rosaline getting up from the floor.He was about to ask what she was doing on the floor when he realized she was the one he had pushed off just a few seconds ago.He instantly jumped off the bed and was on her side.He did not get to say anything as she jumped and looped her arms around him, holding him tightly in her arms.He hugged her back even tighter. She patted his shoulders when she could not breathe, and he relaxed his grip a bit.“I missed you, dearest Rosaline,” William whispered, “My heartless little Lexi, three years. You let yourself suffer alone for three years.”“I was not alone. Did you not accompany me from afar, and Tess and the others too.”“I would have rather accompanied you in person.”“I missed you, William. I missed you so much. It was hard to breathe.”“Don’t!”“I won’t. Don’t ever let me leave your side from now on.”“That’s a promise.”Rosalin

Chapter 170 - Do you hate me?

Rosaline leaned against the door of her studio apartment as William looked around.Her studio apartment, as its name suggested, was small. It had a bed on the alleviated platform that used glass panes to separate it from other spaces, one couch that could get doubled as a bed, a sofa, two small tables, two chairs, a small kitchen with a small island, and a small bathroom. She had fitted wall cupboards in every available space. She had turned the wall beside her bed into a bookshelf. Rosaline leaned against the wall and kept looking at him. William suppressed his emotions and asked.“Are you going to keep standing there?”“Do you hate me?”Rosaline asked the question that had been bothering her all these years.William was stunned.‘Hate her? I can’t even love her enough.’He laughed self-deprecatingly and asked rhetorically.“What if I do? What if I don’t?”“If you don’t, then let me thank you. If you do, then let me make it up to you. Give me a chance.”“Why should I?”“I probably
