A Real-Life-B!tch

Rosie’s breath caught in her throat as the reality of his words hit her. “Oh my God... your ex-wife was a real-life bitch. Not just a murderer,” she whispered, tears welling up in her own eyes. Gregory nodded, “she was put in jail, awaiting trial. But she poisoned herself to death. I guess she didn't want to face the shame and societal scrutiny." "And you hid all of this from me? For crying out, we were going to get married, and this is crucial information. How could you keep it away from me?" "I... I couldn't. I wanted to, believe me, I did. I just didn't want you to view me in another light and I didn’t want Angelina to keep reliving that period in her life. I thought I was doing the right thing by keeping it hidden. But now… now I see how wrong I was, how much it has hurt you, and how much pain it has caused everyone.” He broke down. Tears streamed down his face and he buried his face in his hands. “I swear to you, Angel, I had no idea she

Trying to forgive

As they entered the living room, Rosie looked up and immediately froze. Her eyes widened in surprise at the sight of Angie standing there. She stood up, her gaze darting from Angie to Annie, trying to make sense of the situation."I'm sorry," Annie began, sensing her sister’s unease. “But she... really wanted to speak to you. She said it was important. I couldn't turn her away.” She explained.Before Rosie could respond, Angie stepped forward and without hesitation, she knelt in before her and began to speak in a trembling voice.“Roseline..." She whispered. "I’m so sorry, I know what my mother did to your family was unforgivable. You have the right to be angry, to be mad at my family. We caused you so much pain." She sobbed. "I wish I could change the past, take it all back, I honestly do. But Rose... I can't." She wailed. "And that hurts me so much. Please, I'm here... I'm kneeling before you, I'm begging for forgiveness. Please...” Her voice broke as the tears overtook her. She sho

Terror

Her words were welcomed with silence. There was absolute quietness and heavy tension between Evelyn and Gregory. Evelyn’s disapproval was clear in her expression, and Annie noticed that her mother was about to say something she might regret.Sensing the potential for a heated argument, she quickly continued. “I understand how difficult this might be...""Do you?" Evelyn snapped.She nodded, "I do ma." She replied. "I understand that there are a lot of emotions involved. But I would really appreciate it if we could all try to tolerate each other for a couple of minutes tonight. Let's try sitting down, having a peaceful lunch and attempt to talk things through while at it.”Evelyn looked at her, subtly showing her how upset she was with her facial expression. After a moment of tense silence, she nodded stiffly. “Fine,” she said, “But don’t expect too much from me.”Annie breathed a small sigh of relief, grateful that her mother had agreed to at least try. She turned to Gregory, giving h

Panic

Rosie’s eyes widened in shock as the words sank in. This was about her relationship with Gregory. But the problem was they were no longer together. So whoever her abductor was, it was obvious he didn't know that yet. “You are mistaken, I'm no longer with Gregory, we are no longer together." She said, but the scar-faced man shrugged, his expression showing that he didn't give a damn about her claim."What do you want?” she asked, her voice cracked and dry, as she struggled to keep it steady.Then the scar-faced fellow smiled, showing off his tobacco-stained teeth. “Well, for starters, you’re going to make me rich.” He grinned and leaned in closer to her. “How does 250,000 dollars sound? I’m sure your boyfriend, or should I say, your sugar daddy, won’t mind paying up. After all, he’s in desperate need of some young blood to spice up his boring life, isn’t he?”Rosie’s stomach turned with disgust and her skin crawled at the way he spoke about her relationship with Greg

Kidnap And Ransom

"If the location shows the wristwatch is here, or at the apartment she shares with her flatmate, then we'll be sure that she didn’t go out with it. But if it points to somewhere else… then we might have to check the location out." Gregory replied. The room fell into absolute silence. They were all on edge, silently praying and hoping that the wristwatch’s location would give them a clue to Rosie's current location. Evelyn, who had been quiet for most of the time, spoke again. “She has to be okay...” her voice trembled. Gregory nodded, forcing a positive smile, but the fear in his eyes betrayed his attempt to push a positive message. They were all thinking the same thing, even if they didn’t say it out loud. Everybody knew without being told that something was terribly wrong. As they waited for the tracking information, Annie and Gregory continued trying Rosie's number, while Evelyn, who was terrified to her bones, sat down and started whisper

Head-Way

He immediately turned and hurried out of the room with his mind still making several calculations on the next few steps to take. He had to save Rosie, no matter what it took. And in this case, all they want is money, which he has and is willing to offer. However, he wasn't certain about her life. If he were to provide the needed money, would she live, or would she still end up dead? That was a question he had no answer to.As the call to Gregory ended, the scar-faced guy left the room, murmuring inaudibly. Then, the masked one, among her abductors, entered the room.His mask concealed his face completely, leaving only little holes for his eyes, nose, mouth and ears. And when he asked her a question, "Are you hungry?" There was something about his voice that sent chills down her spine. It was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite place it. She swallowed hard, trying to convince herself that it was just her mind playing tricks on her. But the more she thought ab

Whatever It Takes

As soon as he ended the call, Gregory put his Bank account officer on speed dial. Without waiting for confirmation, he just knew that the location would lead him to Rosie's kidnappers.So there was no time for sentiments. He needs to start getting things ready, and that would start from his bank. Once his account officer picked up, Gregory barked into the phone. “Damon." He called, "I need $350,000 arranged immediately,” he barked, his voice leaving no room for negotiation. He had already decided it's either try the option of giving the abductors their request and hoping that Rosie would be released to him, safe or involve some of his trusted friends in the force and have them ensure Rosie's safety while he went ahead to give in to the abductors request.Damon agreed, “That can be arranged, sir." He said. "But, I’ll need you to come to the Bank in person. There are certain procedures involved that would require your signature.” He insisted.Gregory’s frustratio

Rescue

Disguised as farmers, local traders and fishermen, the police infiltrated the community close to the location where Rosie had been held hostage the night before. Kick-starting an undercover mission.The next morning, their rescue mission commenced. Dressed in rags, a couple of police officers scaled the poorly built fence surrounding the isolated building and quietly entered the compound with cautious and well-calculated movements.As they combed through the house, they found no one else inside. Exposing their trousers, two out of the officers present pulled out their guns with silencers already in place. They followed the signal from Rosie's wristwatch, and it led them to a room with two packed boxes and a mask. A purse was emptied on the bed, and its contents exposed some cash, two debit cards and Rosie's wristwatch. But, there was no sign of Rosie. Their eyes quickly fell on a door at the end of the corridor. Weapons pointed at the door; they approached it

Acceptance

A few days after being rescued from her kidnappers, Gregory and his daughter, Angelina brought Rosie home from the hospital, where she spent several days in recovery. Annie let them into the living room and went to inform her mother of their arrival. Evelyn, who was busy in the kitchen, making dinner, hurried out to the living room to welcome her daughter home.Pulling Rosie in a hug, all smiles, she held her a little longer. Annie offered Gregory and his daughter a seat and they settled into two of the empty sofas in the room."Thank you so much," Evelyn said to Gregory when she finally released Rosie. "Thank you for everything." She added."You know I'll do even more," he replied with a smile. Then he turned to Rosie, who was now settling in her seat. "I thought about taking her home to care for her myself, but I figured it was best to bring you home to family first."Annie smiled warmly. "Thanks for being so thoughtful," she said sarcastically. Everyone laug

Unremorseful

As soon as Gregory and Angie left, Rosie turned to her mother, "Well?" she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity.Evelyn took a seat, looking at her warmly. "I always want your happiness, Baby," she began. "Gregory is a good man, he's proven that. And he loves you. It's also very clear that he makes you happy as well. You two would make a good couple. I've gotten past the bad blood between us, and you should do the same."Annie chimed in, "I think someone is going to get back her engagement ring pretty soon because you don't even have a choice. Not with how smitten you look.""You think?" Rosie blushed."I know," Annie replied.Rosie took a deep breath, then confessed, "You are right. I love Gregory Johnson so much that I don't think I could survive perfectly without him. I love the way he loves me."Everyone in the room smiled, feeling the warmth and love shared between them. They all came together for a family hug, embracing the second chance at happiness
