CHAPTER 13

ROSE'S POV

I descended the staircase slowly, smoothing my dress nervously as I approached the dining room. My mind was still reeling from earlier, my encounter with Evelyn Sterling a blur of sharp words and icy stares.

As I reached the bottom step, hushed whispers floated toward me from the partially open door.

“You have to trust me on this, Mother,” Damien said, his voice low and firm. “I love her.”

My heart skipped a beat.

What?

For a split second, something warm and unfamiliar rushed through me. Then reality crashed in like a tidal wave.

No, no, no. He’s lying, Rose. It’s just for the deal. Stop being ridiculous.

I shook my head, pushing away the ridiculous thought as I adjusted my dress one last time and stepped into the dining room.

Damien and Evelyn immediately turned to look at me. Evelyn’s sharp eyes scanned me critically, while Damien gave me a small, reassuring smile.

“There you are,” Evelyn said, her tone neutral but her gaze anything but.

“Good morning,” I said

    CHAPTER 90ROSE’S POV After a few days of Lily being back home, things finally started to feel somewhat normal. I mean, as normal as it gets with a lot of secrets and unsaid words.I had been gathering some information and from the look of things, a road trip was on the agenda. I called the two people I knew wouldn't say no and stepped out of the house.****I picked up Karen and Danny from the little café they were hanging out at. Right when I got in the car, the tension got so thick, you could cut into it with a knife.“Listen up, you two,” I said, trying to keep my stress from showing in my voice, “I’ve got a mystery to solve, and we’re going back to my roots to do it.”“Roots?” Danny asked as he tapped away on his phone. “What do you mean?”I pulled out my phone while driving and looked over the info I had sent them. “I already sent all the info you need on your phones. Just check the texts.”They both fumbled with their phones as I drove through the streets. I could practically

Feeling a headache come along, I dropped the but just as I was about to drift off into thoughts of a vacation, I felt a gentle tug at my sleeve.It was Mara, my housekeeper, with her usual no-nonsense expression. “Mr. Donovan, there’s a young lady at the door.”“Just send her away, Mara. I’m not in the mood for visitors,” I muttered, half-heartedly waving her off. But she didn’t budge.“Sir, I think you should see her. She is looking for young Damien.”Right. It had been a while since I’d seen my nephew. Perhaps this girl was just another one of those interests, the kind that came in and out of his life. My head was filled with thoughts of how he changed women like clothes. Tch, I could never understand the younger generation.“Fine, fine. I’ll see who it is.”I made my way to the door and, to my surprise, it was Seraphina. I

    CHAPTER 88 ROSE'S POV “Wait here, I won't stay long. I don't like it if someone follows me around. This is an order,“ I added because I know she might want to protest. “But madam, who knows if there's paparazzi in there? I don't want anyone to bother you as I shop and I need to protect you.” I took out a face mask and wore it instantly. Emily got the message and did not ask any questions. “Wow! I can't believe I will finally get the chance to enter this place. Your fiancé is generous.” Karen said and I rolled my eyes at her. We stepped in. Lily and I seemed to be the same size. So, I'm very sure the clothes that would fit me perfectly would fit her as well. But I don't want to spend Damien's money too much. So, I went for less expensive clothes, shoes and bags. I suddenly spotted a red bag on the counter. I was attracted to it immediately. “Hey, look at that,” I said to Karen and pointed at the bag. She gasped in shock and soon smiled in excitement. “This bag would look great

    CHAPTER 87 ROSE'S POV “How did you and Damien meet?” Huh? Why did she want to know? Should I tell her or… My heart skipped a beat as she stared at me with a smile. Should I tell her the truth? How would she react to it? I had no idea. Maybe I should just change the topic. I forced out a nervous smile and moved my gaze to her. She was staring at me, all ears, obviously wanting to hear my answer. I sighed in helplessness as I knew there was no hiding it from her. “He is my fiancé,” I said casually, dropping the bombshell. “What!” Lily exclaimed in shock. Her expression changed immediately, but before I could process what she was thinking, her expression returned to normal. She forced out a smile and seemed to be uneasy. “Your fiancée?” she asked and I nodded. “How did that happen? How did you meet?” She bombarded me with questions. I found her questions weird, especially how she was hasty about it, but I didn't give it much thought and brushed it off. I smiled and whispered, as

    CHAPTER 86 VICTOR’S POV The smell of stale beer, barbecue and sweat hit me hard as soon as I stepped into the bar. The place was dimly lit, with ceiling fans that were making noise as if it had been ages since they were fixed into the room. Loud music was being played and some ladies were dancing on the place that served as a stage. It was greasy and stinky, but unfortunately, I had business here today. As lovely as they were, they were not the reason why I came here, though. My eyes landed on Fat Joe, who rested his big figure against the counter, counting some cash with a big smile on his ugly face. He raised his head and immediately he noticed me and somehow, the smile on his face grew bigger and he looked fucking uglier. “It is such a great pleasure to have you here, Mr. Kane. Have your seat, please,” he mumbled as he walked around the counter to welcome me. I forced out a smile as I found a quiet place to sit with two of my men standing behind me. He grabbed a bottle of

    CHAPTER 85 ROSE’S POV I opened my eyes slowly and was taken aback by the darkness. Where was I? Had I left Lily? This place seemed so unfamiliar. I couldn’t tell where I was. Everywhere was pitch black and scary. I felt lightheaded, it was as if my body did not belong to me or I wasn't even in it. I tried to move, but I couldn't. Panic gripped me as I tried to move again, but it didn't work. All of a sudden, the lights came on, my vision was blurry, and I couldn’t see properly. Almost immediately, a piercing scream followed. It was filled with so much pain and agony. “Arghhhhhhh! Pleaseeee!” My heart skipped a beat. I couldn’t recognize the voice. I did not know who the voice belonged to, but it made my heart ache so much, and I wanted to do anything to help the person, but I couldn't move. It was as if the person who screamed just now was being tortured. “Rose, please save me,” the person’s voice echoed through the place again. I widened my eyes as the shock hit me like a li
