All Chapters of Selfish Desire: A Secret to Unbound.: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Rosa's POV After our meal, Donald excused himself, standing up from the chair he sat with a warm smile. "Hey babe, I'll be right back soon, you can order for anything if you need more." he whispered bending down to kiss my cheek before walking away. I kept sitting quietly and taking in the restaurant's serene atmosphere. A romantic and welcoming ambiance was produced by the gentle light from the chandeliers above. The allure was further enhanced by the tranquil hum of the piano in the background. I was drinking my wine and thinking a lot about where Donald had gone. A young woman approached me a moment later. She had a kind but enigmatic smile and was well dressed. "Pardon me, ma'am," she said courteously. "Are you Rosa?" I wondered how she knew my name as I looked at her. After a brief pause, I replied, "Yes." She smiled enigmaticly at me once more. My smile made her smile even more. "A young, handsome man is waiting for you down the hall," she spoke softly after that. Bef

Rosa’s POV I sat on the edge of my bed and stared at my phone, the messages still glowing on the screen. Who could have sent me such messages? I began to wonder. My thoughts got out of control. Should I tell you the truth? Does he know this? With each passing second, the room's size decreased. My phone unexpectedly rang while I was jotting down my thoughts. I looked at Donald's caller ID for a moment. It made my heart sink. Despite my fear, I made myself take a deep breath before answering. "Hey, sweetie. How are you? His voice remained warm as he asked. "I am fine," I say in an attempt to sound normal. Ignorant of the storm brewing inside of me, he kept talking. "Is it possible for us to have lunch tomorrow? With excitement in his voice, he said, "I would like to discuss when you will meet my family and I will meet yours. After a brief pause, I answered right away. Tomorrow sounds amazing. "Okay, babe." His gentle words, "I love you, babe," helped to ease my anxiety. On the co

Rosa's POV The following day, I found myself sitting across from Grandma Hanns, deep in conversation. I needed her comfort more than I knew, and her wise, weathered face gave it to me. David was playing close by, and I let myself unwind for a little while as his little giggles filled the air like music. Despite everything that was going on in my life, his innocence reminded me that I had something innocent to keep safe. "After everything I have been through, I can not believe I have such a handsome baby," I thought as I looked at him, smiling. Just behind it a bitter thought crept in. Funny enough, I do not know who his biological father is. I am appreciative of my good health, though. If nothing else, there is no HIV. Even though I tried not to think about it, it still bothered me. What if it had been different? What if I wasn’t healthy? What would my life look like then? Grandma’s soft voice brought me back to the present. “Rosa,” she called sharply, her tone laced with concern

Rosa's POV My mouth dropped when I read the contents of the document Donald gave me to preview. It appeared so real, even though it was somewhat confusing. Considering that electric vehicles are new to the market, I believe the stated amount is reasonable for a global production company, but there is a problem. I spent two hours in Donald's room trying to figure it out. I reached over and picked up the phone, dialing the number of an old classmate who excels at business. "Hey, Cade," I cackled, "you did not bother calling me after we finished school." "Yeah! How have you been, my love? I truly miss you. I am sorry about that. You caused it by not loving me at the time. A CEO is your fiancé, correct? One of the reasons I stopped contacting you was because I learned about it. I think he is in a noisy place. "Will you please find somewhere quiet?" We need to talk. I had no idea As soon as I got out of bed, my eyes darted over the screen, taking in the information with acute fo

Donald POV"I said it was complicated." I scowled at Rosa. "At this time, I am in pain and have nothing to share with you. I must be left alone.Her expression is so solemn. There was nothing she could say. She prepared to depart after gathering her belongings. Then I realize that I will miss this lovely and wise woman for the rest of my life if I let her go.She appeared unhappy and disappointed. It is necessary for her to suppress a smile. I pulled her back as she was on the verge of leaving. Even though she was frowning, her face still looked lovely. "Hey sweetie!" I gave her a smile while extending my hands. The best thing that has ever happened to me is you, so I apologize. I cherish you, angel. Tears trickled down her smooth cheeks as she turned around. I am so excited to give my angel a hug. I gave her a tight hug, and we both held on to each other. Even when she is furious, she is stunning. I said to her, "You know what?" I am grinning, but I do not really smile. Because I app
