Finding my way to you Chapter 32 - A life lived well
William brought brunch and waited for Rosaline to open the door.After ten minutes, she opened the door in her half-asleep state.An hour later, all three of them were well fed, and William snuck Rosaline from the secret door to avoid the stalkers and brought her to his house. “This is not a house.”“Excuse me?”“This is a Villa or maybe a Mansion, not a house.” “OH”“...” “I still think this is a house. It is, in fact, a home. Just head inside, and you’ll know what I mean.”Rosaline squinted at him as he led her to the living room.The “house” was a three-story Mansion with an outhouse, huge lawn, a big garden, and a garage.It had a separate garden on the back with neatly arranged trees - primarily several kinds of fruits and medicinal plants.The gate and entire boundary looked like they had been refitted and reconstructed with better security.With just a glance, you could see it was nigh impossible to trespass inside.Moreover, Rosaline knew hidden cameras covered every inch o
Finding my way to you Chapter 33 - AR
William took Rosaline on the house tour.He explained all the security details and what he planned with the house - the renovations and the things they needed to fix. The garage housed a ‘1967 Chevrolet Camaro’ that had Rosaline wide-eyed. “Is this..?”“Yes. It came with the house.”“Wow” “I’m so jealous.”“I’ll lend it to you after I fix it.”“You know how to fix cars?”“Not really. But I’m learning. Besides, I have time.” William shrugged. “This must have cost you a fortune.”“I told you I got a steal deal.”William explained since she seemed curious.“The old man’s only granddaughter was born and raised overseas. As she settled abroad, she simply wanted to get rid of this house.”“So, she sold it cheap - and by cheap, I mean much lower than the lowest market price. I think some bad memories are attached to her parents.”“Did you notice there’s no picture of the kid and grandkid after the woman's passing?”Rosaline nodded but wasn’t convinced.“Hmm. Even with that, it must have b

William continued as Rosaline listened with rapt attention.“While registering, I said Albert and I should be co-founders and equal partners. But his parents made it a 70-30 split as it was primarily my idea, and I had done all the preliminary work.”“I still don’t think it’s fair, but they never budged. Aunty also added a rule that we can’t withdraw the funds from the company until we both reach legal age.”“In the next 6-7 years that followed, we developed three different games and five software. We had also incorporated ads for two products we genuinely liked into the game, which turned out to be quite profitable.”“Uncle Gray handled all the legal proceedings. He negotiated that we get a profit share rather than the 1-time sale of the copyright. That way, if our products become popular, we get more. Conversely, we don’t get much if they don’t work.”“Because we still have the copyright, we still keep on making some money when some related merchandise becomes popular. Keeping the c

William smiled.‘That’s what she picked up.’‘She doesn't care about money.’He replied with complete honesty.“I do! She is the most resilient woman I have ever met. She is the perfect blend of all the good attributes a person can have, in my opinion.”“She is resilient, hard-working, conscientious, and retains a positive outlook on life. I kind of feel ashamed of myself every time I meet her. I don’t know how to explain it, but I guarantee you’ll understand when you meet her.”“Huh?”“Just saying.” “Anyway, Miss Lexi, are you satisfied with my explanation?”“Hahahaha”“I’ll take that as a yes.”“You are so arrogant.”“What do you think? Tell me all your ideas, not just related to interior design but overall. We’ll collate and plan it properly.”“I think it’s excellent. We should arrange these pictures exactly as they are now. It would be a pity to put them away, though I think we should get the granddaughter’s consent first.”“My thoughts exactly. I already have the consent, as long
Finding my way to you Chapter 36 - Phased out
“Let’s get you inside.”William handed her a bottle of fresh coconut water to Rosaline as they sat in the living room.He brought over the draft he had been working on and laid it over the table as they both pondered on it.William had already marked most of the things she had highlighted. They cross-checked everything as they made notes and adjusted based on their combined ideas.“I think I’m on a lucky streak in this house.”“Huh?” “What do you mean?”“First, I got this at an insanely affordable price. Secondly, I got an extremely talented designer for free.”“Thank you for the complaint. But I don’t seem to have helped you design anything yet.”“I think I have seen enough to make an accurate judgment.”“Well, continuing your lucky streak, how about I introduce you to someone quite talented in doing carpentry work?”She further added when he looked at her quizzically.“The quality of the wood used for all this furniture is not something you will be able to buy these days, even if yo
Finding my way to you Chapter 37 - Someone with stories
Rosaline smiled.William seemed to value Aunty Aria a great deal. She sounded impressive based on his words.“She sounds like someone with stories.”“She is. Unfortunately, it’s not my place to tell, at least not until you get acquainted with her. She is the kind of person I hope I’ll grow to be. Be it in principles or character.”“It’ll be my pleasure to meet her if I’m fortunate enough.”“She will like you.”“Are you always like this?”William frowned, “Like what?”“Blunt? Talkative? Annoying?”William laughed. He had never imagined that there would be a day when someone called him talkative.However, he decided to answer her rhetorical question seriously.He wanted to know her, and he wanted her to know him.“Blunt - yes. It’s a waste of time to be long-winded.”“Talkative - most definitely not. I think I have talked to you more than I have talked to Miss Johnson Tessa in the last 3-4 years I have known her.”“And tell me, Miss Lexi, why do I think it’s a good thing you find me ann
Finding my way to you Chapter 38 - Grief
When they were leaving, Rosaline hid an envelope on the counter instead of paying.William could tell she had passed on something bulk, judging by the bulge of the big envelope.“Care to explain?” He asked when they were out of it.“When Uncle’s son was 8, he passed away due to leukemia as they could not find a match. We did not even know he was sick. Both of them had such a happy attitude.”“Uncle Kevin’s wife passed away a few months after giving birth. After his son passed away, he was inconsolable. We did not know what to do, so we kept coming here every day and talked to him and joked about being hungry and starving to keep him busy.”“He slowly pulled himself back, but part of him will always grieve for his child. We try to support him the best we can, but so far, we have not managed to help a lot.”“We just contact the hospital for his health details and pass on medication when we can.” Rosaline smiled sadly.William saw a new Rosaline today. A quick and professional Rosaline w
Finding my way to you Chapter 39 - Family
Rosaline changed the topic and told Tessa about Kevin.“I went to Uncle Kevin’s today.”“Did you get him the medicine?”“Left it by the counter.”“I want to do something for him.”“Me too.”“I have no idea.”“Maybe we could help him renovate his shop. Rename it with his son’s name and make it popular.”“I think he will like that.”“If he has an apprentice, he will not be so grief-stricken.” “Will he take one?”“Maybe.”“Alright, let’s sleep on it.”The next day, around 9 am, Rosaline received a call from William. “Hey, did I wake you?”“Umm”“Do you want to go out?”“Alright. Let me freshen up and eat something first.”‘Tess is right! Rather than regret not trying, let me face whatever comes up if I try.’Rosaline thought as she agreed to go with William. After losing their pursuers, they went to the waterfall. They rested there for a while, enjoying the view and the food they had brought. “Tell me something about yourself,” William asked.“What about me?”“Anything?”“How am I s
