Chapter 141 Conflict Maker

~Rosemary~The phone fell off my hand to the countertop. My heart was beating fast as I looked at the screen and read the message again.There was only one person who called me princess. And that was…Angel.How did he get my number? So he was still alive and he knew where we lived? Did this mean he also knew about Henny?Oh, my God! No!My hands trembled as I picked up the phone. After much hesitation, I typed a reply: Please leave me alone!A few seconds after I hit send, my phone rang. I stared at the phone screen while biting my nails.He was the one calling, right? I shouldn't pick up, right?Against my better judgment, I swiped the screen and hit the speaker icon. I pulled back, holding my breath.“Hello, princess.”A shiver ran down my spine at the sound of his voice. I held the countertop for support.“You know, your husband really outdid himself the other day.”“Stop stalking me! Why don’t you just leave us alone?”Angel chuckled on the phone. “I am afraid that’s not possible.

Chapter 142 A Little Too Late 

~Gerald~Angel, again? Why couldn't that bastard just stay dead?Although I knew there was a high possibility that Angel had survived the gunshot wound, I thought that was enough to keep him away from us for a while. I guess I was wrong.“Rose…” I began, looking at her softly. “Have I ever done anything to make you feel like you can't trust me?”She closed her eyes. When she opened them, I saw that they were filled with skepticism.“You told me that there were only two choppers around at the time of the rescue. But there were twelve, weren't they?”I sat up abruptly. “Did Angel tell you that?”“Does it matter?” she asked, the annoyance in her voice apparent. “It's not going to change the fact that you lied to me.”“I hate liars, Gerald.”I stood up and walked over to where she was sitting. Squatting, I took both of her hands in mine.“I am sorry, my love. I didn't tell you the truth about the number of choppers because I didn't want you to feel guilty that I had to go all out. Alrea

Chapter 143 Snooping Around

~Rosemary~Three hours ago.After dropping Henny off at his grandma’s, I stopped by the hotel to sign some important documents. I had been away for quite some time and my deputy had been holding the reins for me.“Keep up the good work. I am not sure when I will be able to resume fully, but for now, keep me updated on what’s happening, okay?”She nodded.“By the way, go to HR to sort out your new pay.”Her face instantly lit up. “Oh, my God! Thank you so much, ma’am.”“You earned it.”I held up my hand when my phone suddenly rang. “I have to take this. You may leave now.”“Hello?”“Hey, princess!”“You!” I screamed, pulling the phone away from my ear.The number on the screen wasn’t the same one Angel used to call me the other day. Had I known it was him, I wouldn't have answered it.“What do you want!”He laughed. “You really should fire your security guard. All he does is sleep.”“You are here?” I shot to my feet. “Not quite. But if I were a bad person, I would have bypassed that s

Chapter 144 All A Lie

~Gerald~The bouquet dropped to my feet. My tongue suddenly went bitter. Nooo! This isn't how it should go. I was just about to—“All these years, you have been lying to me!” She trembled, breathing exasperatedly. “Who the fuck did I marry!”“Rose, I am still me. I am still Gerald, the man you fell in love with!”“No, you are not!” She threw the binder to my feet. “It says here that you are Gerald Clay, CEO of G-Tech and other businesses. You allowed me to make a fool of myself when I recommended the software engineering job to you a year ago!”“Baby, I—”“Don’t call me that!”She stamped her feet. “Everything was a lie! Right from the moment you agreed to marry me. You didn't even need my money. And Armando. You didn't get him out of trouble in Mexico, did you?”I shook my head.She threw her hands in the air. “Is his name even Armando?”I shook my head again. “His real name is Elvis. He's my assistant.”“Hahaha!” She sat on the edge of the desk and laughed out loud. “You guys must

Chapter 145 The Don’s Offer

~Rosemary~“How did you find me!” I yelled, the phone in my hand dropping to the floor.The man at the door slowly smiled, then mewed. “I have my sources, princess.”“Wait… did you really think I wasn't going to find you?” he added, slapping his hand on the door.I held on to the door and tried to shut it. “What do you want!”“You!”I cringed when he gave me that sick smile again. “I really can't deal with your disturbance right now. Please, leave!”“Aww! Princess, I actually came here to console you.”“I don't need your consolation. Leave!”Despite my shout, Angel did the exact opposite. He pushed the door farther open, walked in, and reached out his hand.“Don’t touch me!” I yelled, stepping away from him. “I know you must be happy now since everything you said about Gerald was true!”Since I left home, I have been going over what I saw in that binder. Everything that just seemed like luck or the fruit of my hard work was now very questionable.From my ability to buy so many shares

Chapter 146 Supposed Choice

~Rosemary~“I told you to stay away from my wife!” Gerald shouted, punching Angel who had just fallen to the floor with a thud.“Your wife?” Angel chuckled softly. “She’s not going to remain that for long.”“Fuck you!”As soon as Gerald sucker-punched Angel in the face, I heard a cracking sound. It jeered me out of the frozen state I had been in for many seconds.“Stop! Stop fighting!” I shouted.That fell on deaf ears. The two rolled over, knocking off the vase on the table nearby. They wrestled like fighters in an underground wrestling ring.Strangely, Gerald was throwing more of the punches. Before I knew it, Angel’s nose was bloodied.“Guys, stop!” I shouted as they rolled over again, Angel now lying on the broken pieces of the vase.I rushed over and grabbed Gerald’s arm. Pulling him with all my might, I said, “That’s enough! You are going to kill him!”“Then let me!”When Gerald forcefully pulled his arm away, my hands slipped from his arm and I fell backward.“Ow!” I winced, ho

Chapter 147 A Single Man

~Gerald~I held on to Rosemary’s face, sucking her soft lips hard. It had barely been twenty hours since our last kiss, but it felt like ages. I didn't want to let go. Not now, not ever.Rosemary kissed me back. And you could guess how that made me feel. She still loved me. She still loved me, but there were some reservations.“Don’t go…please,” I said, staring into her eyes and breathing hard after a long minute.Rosemary closed her eyes. “Why? You seem to be very busy…”“She allowed herself in. I didn't.”“But you didn't send her out.”She opened her eyes. “You allowed her to touch you knowing fully well that she fancies you.”“I guess that makes two of us.”Her eyes instantly slanted. Then she rolled them. “You know what, you are right. I shouldn't have come.”When she turned to get into the car again, I gripped her arm and pulled her. Her bosom crashed into my chest.She writhed. “Let me go. I hate you!”“No, you don't.”She slapped my chest. “You are so full of yourself!”“I’m

 Chapter 148 Failed CEO

~Rosemary~“Look at what I got you, Henny.”Henny jumped excitedly as he took the shopping bag from my hand and tore it open.“Yaay! It’s a Spiderman costume!” he screamed excitedly, holding up the outfit that I had carefully picked out on the way here.I smiled for the first time in the last two days. “Do you love it?”Henny nodded. “I am gonna wear it every day. And when I get the action figure, I will play with it every day too!”“What action figure? Tell me, so I can buy it for you.”He shook his head. “Don’t worry, Mommy. Mr. Gerald already promised to buy it.”At the mention of Gerald’s name, my face fell. It had been forty-eight hours since I returned Gerald’s ring. I had turned off my phone and cried my eyes out. This morning, I woke up looking like a character straight out of a zombie movie. I had to put on a lot of eye makeup before coming to see Henny.Henny held my hand. “When is he coming to play with me? I miss him!”“Forget about that guy. I can play with you.”All of

Chapter 149 Karma Is A Bitch

~Rosemary~“Doctor, is he going to be okay?” I asked, more than two hours later. I had driven Max to the hospital and waited while the medical team attended to him. Now, he was sound asleep, but his face was quite pale.“He’s going to be fine. But I advise that you take his phone from him to avoid a recurrence.”I glanced at him. “Oh…I see.”“Not many people would have been able to drive a cardiac arrest patient without freaking out. You did good, Mrs. Smith.”“Uhm! I am sorry,” I laughed awkwardly. “I’m not his wife.”“Oh, my bad. I thought—”“Rosemary…”Hearing my name, I turned my head and saw Max awake. His eyes were squinted as if he couldn't see properly.“Sir, you need to stay in bed. Get some rest.”After saying that, the doctor turned to me. “Apologies once again, ma’am. I’ll leave you to it.”“What happened to me?” Max asked as soon as the doctor left.“You had a heart attack.”Max paused. Soon, his eyebrows raised with realization. “Please, don't get yourself worked up ov

Chapter 150 Real Me

~Gerald~“Is now a good time?” When I heard that question, I snapped out of the deep reflection I was in. “What’s the matter?”Elvis walked into the study and shut the door. “The third letter just came in.”My heart ached slightly as I looked at the unopened envelope in his hand. “She returned it unopened again?”Elvis nodded.Ever since that day I met Rosemary at the hospital and she mentioned sending me divorce papers, I had sent her three letters. I revealed the rest of my secrets in those letters, hoping that she would read them and finally come around.But each one was sent back unopened.I didn't know what to do anymore.“By the way, Max was discharged early this morning. One of the directors has proposed the notion for his immediate removal as CEO.”I leaned back in my chair. “And when is this meeting going to be?”“Tomorrow?”Hearing the questioning undertone in his voice, I looked up at him. “It isn't certain yet?”“Oh, it is. The meeting is going to be held by 10 tomorrow m
