Rosa's Pov

Richard Gosling sat in a chair positioned like a throne, thin and pale but still radiating the particular menace of a man used to being obeyed.

"So." His eyes moved over me slowly. "This is what my son married."

"Rosa Park." I extended my hand.

He didn't take it.

"I know your name." His voice came out thin, rasping, deliberate. "I'm more interested in what you are."

"Father." Daniel started.

"Let her answer." Richard's eyes stayed on me. "What are you, exactly? Beyond a translator wi

  • ACCIDENTALLY YOURS FOREVER   Robbie’s Secret 

    Rosa's PovThe first page was a summary, dated three weeks earlier, prepared by a private security firm whose letterhead I didn't recognize.Subject: Robbie Madison. Financial and communication analysis per client request.I kept reading.Financial records showed Robbie deeply in debt, credit cards maxed across four different accounts, a car repossessed two months ago that she'd apparently kept hidden from everyone in the family. Beneath the financial summary sat a series of timestamped communications, phone records showing calls between Robbie's number and a number the report identified as belonging to Johansson Theron.The calls started the week after my wedding to Marcus collapsed.My hands started shaking as I turned the pages.Text message transcripts followed, subpoenaed or hacked or however this firm had

  • ACCIDENTALLY YOURS FOREVER   The Fallout 

    Rosa's PovI watched him fire her through the glass conference room wall.No raised voice. No visible anger. Just a flat tone that carried more menace than shouting ever could, his words clipped and precise while Patricia sat across from him, her hands shaking in her lap."Security will escort you to collect personal items," he said. "Your access has already been revoked. HR will process final compensation according to standard severance, though given the nature of your breach, legal counsel may pursue additional action.""Mr Gosling, please.""That's all, Patricia."I stood at the glass a moment longer after she left, shattered, escorted out by security like she'd never spent five years bringing him coffee and organizing his entire professional life.This was the version of him Johansson had described. T

  • ACCIDENTALLY YOURS FOREVER   The Price of Loyalty 

    Daniel's PovI woke to find Rosa already at the desk in the corner of my bedroom, documents spread out, her focus absolute despite the early hour."You're up early," I said, sitting up."Couldn't sleep." She didn't look up from the page. "Figured I'd get ahead on the Tanaka counterproposal."Something about her tone felt slightly off, a careful flatness I hadn't heard from her since our fight on the couch."Rosa.""Hmm.""Everything okay?""Fine." She reached for her phone on the desk, and I caught the motion, quick and deliberate, sliding it face-down before I could see the screen.I noticed. I chose not to press, though something about the gesture sat uncomfortably in my chest for the rest of the morning."What time did you start?" I asked.

  • ACCIDENTALLY YOURS FOREVER   The Contract Between Us 

    Rosa's PovWe sat across from each other at his desk the next morning, an actual contract between us instead of vague promises."Consultant fee," Daniel said, sliding the paper toward me. "Market rate for someone with your credentials. Which, based on Tanaka's reaction alone, is considerably higher than what I initially offered.""I don't want charity terms.""This isn't charity. This is what any outside consultant with your background would command." He tapped the number at the bottom. "James pulled comparable rates from three similar negotiations. This is the actual market value of your work."I looked at the number. It was significant. Independent. Mine, earned through actual skill instead of anything resembling obligation."Fine." I picked up the pen. "But I want it in writing that I can walk away from this specific project at any poin

  • ACCIDENTALLY YOURS FOREVER   The Consultant 

    Daniel's PovChapter 44: The Consultant (Daniel's POV)I sat with the corrected pages spread across my desk that evening, reading through her work line by line, my fury building with every clause she'd caught that our legal team had missed for years.This wasn't casual talent. This was genius, systematically hidden away because a man too small to handle it had made her feel like something needing hiding.James found me still at it past nine. "You look like you're about to put your fist through something," he said."I might.""What happened?"I turned the laptop toward him, pulled up her corrected translations alongside the original documents."Rosa did this. In her spare time. Correcting errors our legal team has apparently been living with for years." My jaw tightened. "She was certified for UN Security Council interpretation, James. The youngest person ever given that certification. She consulted on international trade negotiations at a level most professionals spend their entire c

  • ACCIDENTALLY YOURS FOREVER   In Case I Need to Leave 

    Rosa's PovI didn't leave the couch that night. Daniel did, retreating to his office the way he always did when a conversation went somewhere he couldn't follow.I stayed there in the dark, my knees pulled to my chest, the wreckage of my own accusation still sitting heavy in the room.I think I'm just your physical release.I'd said it. I'd meant it in the moment, though some quieter part of me suspected the truth was messier than that, tangled up in fear and exhaustion and thirty days ticking down toward an ending I couldn't control.I started researching two days later.Not because I'd decided anything. Because I needed to know my own options existed independent of whatever Daniel chose to do with his board, his father's legacy, his careful strategic silences.Single motherhood resources. Custody arrangements when one parent has significant wealth. Financial planning for unmarried mothers.I opened a private browser window each time, closed it the moment I heard footsteps, told myse
