Alex sat in the back seat beside Rose, his presence as steady and unyielding as ever, while Derek occupied the front passenger seat next to the driver. Inside the car, the atmosphere was tense and heavy. Alex’s attention remained fixed, his sharp ga
A few minutes later, Rose sat on the edge of the hospital bed, flexing her wrists gently. Her bruises were sore, and her hand throbbed slightly, but nothing that she couldn’t manage. She shot Alex a pointed look. “Seriously, I’m fine,” she said firmly. “I can go home now. There’s really no reason t

Nancy finally agreed but not without leaving a friendly threat for Rose who
"Nice. But I intend to buy two cars here.” She told him. "Ha, that's impossible, young lady. Do you even know the amount each car here costs? Of course, you don't.” He scoffed mockingly at Rose who just stared at him gently. “That's where my deal comes in. It's simple. If I can afford to buy the
