ROSE'S POV

"Rose, are you okay?" Monique asks, joining me on the bench and trying to lift my head up.

I press my head harder against the desk. "I'm fine. I don't want any photo of me to get taken."

"You're not fine. Don't lie. It's okay not to be fine. I mean you just lost a major case that could change your life forever." She rubs my back and talk indistinctly with the attorney. "We're gonna appeal and win the case, Rose."

"I hope it does." I finally raise my head, crying and hugging her. "Because I'd kill myself first than be Desmond wife

We step out from the courtroom with her shielding me from the paparazzi. The hungry crowd of strangers are struggling to get a shot, their next big headline. All the faces at the court are strange, I feel so alone save for Monique's unwavering support. Dad couldn't make it, he had urgent work at the establishment. Grandma couldn't make it either, she's too sick. Ryan's still at the hospital and Micah, he's just mad at me.

    ROSE'S POV "Are you okay?" Desmond leans in, the alcohol stench from his mouth nearly suffocating me."I'm fine."He stands suddenly, lifting me with him, he smiles sourly to the other guests. "Excuse us.""Hey, easy." I try to fight him off.He roughly drags me out of the hall, all the while my eyes are searching the crowd for Monique or the assistant. Down the hallway, he looks around discreetly, kicks the door to a closet open and shove us both inside, locking it afterwards. Now, I'm seriously regretting why I didn't call Micah or Ryan."Shhh. Don't try to make a scene okay?" He redraws a flat folder from the breast pocket of his suit, he holds it high above my head. "You see this, I've got million copies of it saved on my system, my flash drives, and even hard copies littering my study. And in it is the evidence of Ryan's money laundering, I can make it public—no, I'll make it public. You know why? Because you're legally mine now. And you'll do as I say, if you try anything stup

    ROSE'S POV My head hurts, and my throat is too dry. I had a terrible nightmare earlier. I carefully caress them and stir in bed, opening my eyes. I reach for my Bible study on the dresse but I feel a jug instead. I turn around and my art supplies are nowhere in sight. I notice the walls of the room is coated in pitch black paint. This isn't my room.Then, I see Desmond leaning against the door with bandaged head and plastered arms, I realize it wasn't a dream. My 'husband' actually actually abducted me."Rise and shine, beautiful." He carefully strides towards me in his awful sweatpants and bare chest."Get me out of here." I sit up. "I don't want to be here." I jump down from the bed and attempt running past him to the door, but he's too firm. He roughly grabs my waist, pushing me back on the bed. He struggles against me until he's able to pins my hands on the headboard over my bed, his other hand enclose my ankles, pinning them to the bed as well. "Relax. I'm getting you out of he

    ROSE'S POV I ignore her, heading out and straight to Mom's room. I bang heavily on the door. "Mom!" I scream, startling some of the maids downstairs. There's muffled movement in the room. After waiting awhile and still no response. I bang and scream louder this time. Still nothing.She's ignoring me. Fine. I think about calling Ryan but the grandfather clock in the hallway shows it a few minutes past two. Ryan would be resting as recommended by the hospital. I head down.By the time, I take the stairs down my anger had turned to sadness then pain. I'm sobbing when I take out the phone, my fingers trembling as I struggle to ask if she's available to talk. My phone rings immediately. "M-Mon...""Rose, are you okay?" "I'm not okay." I sniff. "I'm coming over." I wipe my face, stuff the phone back into my pocket, grab a key from the cabinet, push the door open and angrily step out.I ignore them and walk straight for the red Benz."Roseeee." Micah calls first."Ma'am." The assistant fol

    ROSE'S POV I take deep breaths and wrap the coat tightly around me. My fingers trace the outline of the case that's in my pocket as I sit with Micah in the backseat of Ryan's car whilst his assistant drives.He's assistant not only flew us from Dubai but has taken on the responsibility of driving us back to the Hilton's mansion, no one is expecting. It's mid morning. We arrived quite early. I still have time to rest before tomorrow hearing. If not for Micah, I wouldn't be heading back here. I would have just lodged at Monique's until everything is settled and then return back to Ryan, but I know Micah wouldn't feel so comfortable there, plus it may look cowardly to keep running away from my family. One day I have to face them.As the car approach the large gate, Micah inserts his card and it automatically pulls up. I rub my palms together. And it seems that day is now.He maneuver the car into the parking lot and turn off the engine. I start straightening to step out but he hurriedl

    ROSE'S POV The door is open so I don't bother knocking I just step in. I look around the room to find her sitting on the edge of her bed, with her back to me. Her shoulders are slumped and she's trembling. I tiptoe closer to the bed and recognize the sounds of sobbing. My mom is crying? I never knew she did that. She sobs quietly staring at a frame in her hands. I step closer still to see it's my picture. Why's Mom crying over my picture? "Mom?"She jerks and turn around. Her eyes wild with fright. She wipes at her eyes and slowly stands. "Rose?" She sounds unsure, maybe she never thought I would return. She steps closer, stretching her hands to my face."Yes. It's me Mom.""Oh..." She cries louder and covers me in a hug, but I don't return it. "I was so scared my darling worried something awful nay have happened...""Mom..." I cut her short. She leaked my diary online, she signed a fake marriage certificate, she bribed a judge, she... I want to count every awful thing this woman c
