CHAPTER 1

Rosalind Chris★Today marks our one-year anniversary with my boyfriend Mark, and despite always being there for each other and understanding each other, he hasn't been picking up my calls.Did he forget about today?I drove to his house, knocked on the door, and received no response. With a sinking feeling, I bit my lip and pondered his whereabouts. Turning the doorknob, I found it unlocked. As I cautiously entered and searched downstairs, I eventually made my way upstairs to his room, where I was met with the sound of moans.With slow, hesitant steps, I pushed open the door, feeling my heart shatter as tears welled up in my eyes. "Mark," I called out, my voice trembling with emotion."Oh, look who's here," he said flatly, devoid of emotion, as he nonchalantly got off the bed. Walking towards me in his naked state, he flashed a smile that sent a chill down my spine."I forgot to mention, we're over. I've been preoccupied with this lovely lady," he stated, gesturing towards the woman

CHAPTER 2

Rosalind Chris★ I snuggled up to the person beside me and inhaled the amazing scent. I felt myself being pushed away gently and heard someone sigh beside me. I sluggishly stood up from the bed and gazed at the figure standing in front of me. I rubbed my bleary eyes and focused my attention back on the figure. I lifted the bedsheet and gasped in surprise. I slowly remembered what had happened the night before and realized I had mistaken the man for Mark, my boyfriend."What are you doing in my room"I asked,shocked."If I am correct, this is room 201." He raised the card in the middle of his two fingers. I slowly remembered the receptionist giving me a card for room 210."Shit, what have I done?" In a swift motion, I rose from the bed and hurriedly came down. "What have I done?" I kept repeating the question while running my hands through my hair. In haste, I threw my clothes on and arranged my hair. A card was tossed in my direction, prompting me to gaze at the man in confusion before

CHAPTER 4

Jeremy Lightwood★ Lightwood Enterprise is celebrating its 40th anniversary this evening. Last night did not go as planned when she stared at me as if I hadn't said anything before retiring to bed."How did your it go with Miss Rosa last night?" Gran Mels inquired as she served me breakfast and settled in to sit. Before I could respond, the sound of heels echoed through the room as Rosalind entered, dressed in a powerful suit and sharp trousers. Gran's face lit up upon seeing her and she stood up in excitement."I was just inquiring about you from..." Gran Mels trailed off, searching for the right word. Rosa simply smiled at her and Gran graciously gestured for her to sit, pulling out a chair for her to take a seat.Why does Grandmother look so elated after seeing her? Gran went to the kitchen, leaving an awkward silence in her wake. Rosa dropped the document on the table and poured herself a glass of water."I couldn't help but notice that you seemed hesitant about signing the propos

CHAPTER 5

Rosalind Lightwood★ The room was filled with camera flashes from the reporters and handshakes from the guests, but all I could muster were fake smiles. Jeremy walked with me as we greeted the guests together. Mr Lightwood walked up to me and hugged me. "I knew I had chosen the perfect woman for my son, thank you for your cooperation," he whispered to me. "Oh, I heard you are inviting your parents for dinner tomorrow night, will be there," he added. I smiled and bowed in respect.Who told him I was in cooperation with the marriage?I sighed as I remembered my parents were coming over for tomorrow's dinner."You look gorgeous tonight"Jeremy suddenly exclaimed."This is the response I receive after sharing with the world that I am your wife," I retorted. "I remember now, my opinion doesn't seem to matter to anyone."I added.If only I had known this was the true motive behind his invitation. I believed this marriage should have been a private affair between our families."What are you im

CHAPTER 6

JEREMY LIGHTWOOD ★Headache!As I stood up to take my bath, the stench of alcohol clung to me. I glanced at my reflection and recalled the heated confrontation with Jason after Rosalind's departure. In a fit of anger, I landed a punch on his face, sparking a tumultuous brawl between us. I indulged in excessive drinking before stumbling home that night.After a refreshing bath, I slipped into a comfy cloth and made my way downstairs for breakfast."Good morning, Gran," I greeted as I settled into my seat, I returned my gaze, only to find Rosalind's eyes nervously meeting mine in the kitchen. She quickly turned her attention back to the food she was preparing, dressed in a turtleneck and shorts, a stark contrast to the stunning backless black gown she had worn the night before. As she timidly entered the hall, clutching her purse, I couldn't help but admire her elegant presence.Gran approached me with a sigh, concern evident in her eyes as she asked, ",Take a look at your face, was thi

CHAPTER 7

JEREMY LIGHTWOOD ★The company was abuzz with reporters the following week, the securities struggled to make way for me to pass as I stunned everyone with the news of my marriage."Mike, please verify the situation of my wife's office," I instructed my personal assistant."I've already done so this morning, and it remains unchanged - reporters have taken over the place," he replied."Mr. Lightwood, are you truly married to the woman you never mentioned to me?" Mike's unexpected question made me pause on my tracks and face him."Do I need to disclose every detail to you? And that 'woman' is my wife, Rosalind Lightwood," I replied before heading to the meeting room.As I entered, the executive team fell silent, whispering amongst themselves. Taking my seat, the meeting began. The leader of the team announced a new proposal from a cutting-edge marketing agency, and I enthusiastically approved, prompting a woman to rise from the group." "Good morning, Mr. Lightwood," she began, "I am a

CHAPTER 8

JEREMY LIGHTWOOD★"The people's actions of invading my wife's property and attempting to ruin our reputation will not be tolerated. Anyone caught will be arrested and taken to court," I declared before passing the microphone to someone else. As I left, reporters called out my name and snapped pictures.I received a call from my father, urgently requesting my presence at his house. I commanded Mike to call the driver and park the car at the entrance, checking the time as it was already getting dark. "Why are you so concerned about people invading Rosa's office?" Dad yelled as I entered."If I don't address it, they won't believe we are married. I had to take action to protect the company's reputation, as being married to her means she's now a business I must care of" I explained."I don't want you forget the real reason you are married" He stated.Jason is back, am sure he didn't expect me to be married that's why I would never lose the company to him.★★★After dropping my suit on th

CHAPTER 9

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★I never thought I could say such a word , but as Jeremy held my hands tightly, I gazed at our interlocked fingers. Reluctantly, I pulled away and coughed to break the tension. "Feeling shy all of a sudden?" Jeremy teased, not even looking at me as we waited in line for the ride tickets."I apologize for my words earlier; I simply didn't want him to perceive me as a woman still pining over him," I explained, letting out a sigh.Encountering Mark today displeases me.I regret investing over a year of my time in a relationship with him that ultimately proved to be a waste."I am your husband, so you don't have to be sorry"He proclaimed. Yeah,my husband for a year like he promised,then part ways. I observed his anxious expression as he gazed at the roller coaster."Are you actually afraid of the ride?" I inquired teasingly."Why would I be...this is nothing," he stuttered. We settled into the cart and anticipated the start of the ride."We can stop if you want to," I

CHAPTER 10

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★As the days went by, Jeremy and I grew more distant, barely exchanging a word. I was someone who is typically unfazed by others' opinions of me, but Jeremy's aloofness towards me left a lingering sense of melancholy."Boss, are you listening?" Lauren's question jolted me back to reality as I stared at the box containing Jason's suit. "Are you okay? You weren't listening to me," she inquired, concern evident in her voice. Returning the suit to him could potentially lead to further miscommunication between us."You've been fixated on Mr. Jason's suit..." She gasped, turning towards me."...what did he do to you?" She exclaimed."Do you want to risk getting fired?" I asked, causing her to quickly regain her composure."Tell the workers to remove the outdated dresses and fix the ones I inspected this morning," I instructed before returning to my tasks. I let out a sigh as I heard her voice once more."I heard Mr. Jason is now one of the managing directors at Lightwoo
