ROSE'S POV

I force a smile as I knock on my mentor’s office door. I’ve been feeling restless all day—ever since I woke up craving my step-uncle. It’s wrong. So wrong. I felt sick with guilt just standing in front of my students this morning, trying to lecture as if everything was normal.

I knock again, then turn the doorknob and step in. "Hi, Professor."

"Miss Rose," Professor Sharma beams. "How nice to see you."

I spot Mr. Dawson still in the room. He offers a polite nod. "Was just leaving." Then he slips out, leaving us alone.

Her office is just the sanctuary I needed—walls painted a calming sea blue, incense rising to the heavens, and books stacked on every surface. Philosophy texts, mostly. It smells like clarity and quiet thought. I exhale slowly and take a seat across from her.

"What's wrong?" Sharma's eyes softens. She knows me too well.

"I'm fine." I manage to say.

She doesn’t push, just watches with that still patience of hers. I notice a few more gray strands in her hair. S

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle     084- AFTER THE HEADLINE.

    ROSE'S POV"Where did Monique go?""She must have left while you were still asleep."I rub my eyes. The house is oddly quiet. "What about Elias?"Micah sighs and resumes typing on his system. He answers tightly. "He's returned to New York. It's better that way for us all. He won't be causing any trouble from there."I take a bottle from the refrigerator and join him on the couch. Elias, the name hunts me now. The flashback of the night he led Desmond to my room resurfaces... I want to scream, but there's no point; almost everyone meant to protect me has betrayed me in some way. "I didn't really want him to leave?""It has nothing to do with you. Guess it's the guilt eating him up, but guilt doesn't make anything right." Micha yawns before continuing. "Elias... can be a handful at times.""So, you'll be flying back to London soon?" I ask, peeking into the laptop on his thighs."I'm not going anywhere. Something bad could happen to you." He sounds scared. "You don't get it, do you?" H

    83. MONIQUE'S POVI sit by the dresser watching over Rose until she falls asleep. All the while, my head is spinning with a 1001 ways I could kill Desmond and make it look like a fucking accident. Desmond is highly connected, and Ryan tried it once but it got really messy. Thankfully he's also highly connected and was left off the hook on assault charges.But I have to do something. I need to. I tap Rose gently, she stirs and continues snoring. I pick up my purse and head out. I stop by the door and smile, before stepping out, I hurry down the stairs and out of the mansion. I don't want to bump into anyone, beside Micah and Rose's Dad, I hate every other member of her family. Or, dislike. Hate is a strong. I drive out quickly with one destination in mind.As I pulled at the high end cafe Desmond partially owns, everything in me tells me this is a bad idea. I came here to confront one asshole.Desmond. I've known him for years. He was my boss or pretended to be whilst he was just a

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle    082- LET'S PAY DESMOND A VISIT.

    ROSE'S POV I sink deeper into my bed, but I keep staring at the door, scared that Desmond may burst in anytime and abduct me again. I can still feel the cold kerchief against my nose. Even now, safe in my bedroom, my mind remembers how Desmond's cruel hands grabbed me and yanked my dress up. I feel so alone and abandoned. My fingers itch to unblock Ryan and send a desperate plea, but I tighten my resolve and throw the phone on the bed. I won't be the one to apologize. A sudden knock on my door startles me. I jerk and jump down from the bed, looking for where to hide. The door is pushed open, and Monique walks in. "Oh my goodness! You scared me." I sigh, leaning against the dresser. "I'm sorry." Monique walks over in her miniskirt and crop top. She hugs me, and takes one look at me before shaking her head. "What's wrong, girl?" I groan and sit on the bed, my leg crossed and phone in hand. Monique sits on a stool in front of the dresser; she brings out a wine bottle from her purs

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle    081- MY BREAK-UP EMAIL.

    ROSE'S POV 'Dear Rose, I appreciate the time we've spent together, no matter how little, because I believe once you give a person your time, you give them a part of you. You've redefined what love is. I never thought I could feel this way after so many years, coupled with my health conditions. But you loved me. I still remember the way you held my hands while we toured the beautiful city of Dubai like it was just yesterday.My first surgery was successful, but I doubt the second would be as successful. I'm getting weaker and more tired daily, and I realize I've been holding you back. You have a whole world ahead of you. It's selfish of me to tie you to my dying bed. Don't wait for me, Rose. Go on and live life. You have a husband, a family, and a community that looks up to you.This perverted relationship between us can't work. You're my sin and not my salvation. I'm sorry for leading you on. Don't wait for me because I'm never coming back to you.'I stare at the screen blankly. It d

    ROSE'S POVShe grabs dad hands as he tries to walk out. "I had no idea he was going to drug her. You have to believe me, I would never let my own daughter get hurt.""But thats all desmond would ever do. Hurt me." My voice cracks, I wipe off the sweat from my face. "You heard I was being attacked. Julius came to my aid but you did nothing." I bit my lips. "Is that all I am to you, mom just... some commodity? You can't wait to get rid of in exchange of currency"Dad flings her hands out and start walking toward the door."Corey don't walk out of me." Her voice cracks, she breathe heavily. "I'm not the villain, I'm trying to help our daughter, to save our family." She covers her mouth and sobs, still watching Dad walk out on her. She goes after him then stops and return to my bed, clutching the bunk. She squats, pulling at her neatly styled hair, crying and smudging mascara around her eyes. She freezes. Mom is about to have a breakdown, she's crying in our presence, yet none of these p

    79. ROSE'S POV Micah smiles, a kind of sadistic smile I've never seen on his face before. "And where were you when this happened, does Ryan know how incompetent you are." Dad turns to Julius for another round of interrogation.I smack my forehead in despair. "It seriously wasn't his fault.""Sir, your second son made me drive your wife and mother in law to the elderly home. I was still with them when I got a distress call from Miss Monique.""Elias! Fuc..." Micah kicks the nearest chair to him, emphasizing the swear word he just swallowed."Where's that boy?" Dad mutters, picking up his phone to maybe call his son.The door to the ward is pushed open, as a nurse leads Mom in and exits afterwards. Mom rushes in her expensive two-piece outfit and new birkin. "Oh my! What happened to you, darling. I rushed down her the moment I heard the awful news."You rushed down here? But the man you were with crashed the event to save me and you're just arriving the hospital? Your husband and son
