Rosa’s POV

I knew his touch even when I was asleep. It was gentle, and sometimes, it was rough.

But I could always feel his touch and smell him.

And that morning, his famailiar hand was sliding over my arm and brushing down to my waist like it was trailing down a familiar path. I didn’t open my eyes immediately. Now when I wanted to revel in the warmth of his touch.

My lips curled into a satisfied smile before I opened my eyes.

“Good morning,” he murmured softly, his voice low that it felt like it was speaking inside if me.

I hummed, stretched slightly, and pressed my cheeks deeper into the pillow, wanting to remain just like that. His fingers tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. I finally opened my eyes.

Alex sat on the edge of the bed, the morning sunlight bathing his skin in a way that made his skin glow. He was already dressed. And in his hand was a small box. My smile widened, already knowing the box was for me.

“For me?” I asked still.

“For you,” he said simply.

I pushed my

  • In love with my boss   67. Breaking news

    Rosa’s POVAlex stirred from sleep instantly and for a second, he thought I had woken up from a nightmare. I saw the confusion in his eyes as he sat up, reaching for me, then his gaze followed mine to the phone lying on the bed.“What’s wrong?” he asked sharply. I couldn’t speak. My fingers trembled as I pointed at the phone. He picked up the phone and my gaze shifted to his face. Colour drained from his face as he read the headlines. It was the breaking news.Kane’s stock was plummeting in real time. Headlines were screaming with accusations and online blogs exploded with outrage. Overnight, a movement had formed consisting of women who claimed Alex Kane was sexist, manipulative, and abusive with power. They were demanding his removal as CEO with Evelyn replacing him, or they would boycott Kane Tech products and services. They have effing twisted everything. Even the kiss he gave me yesterday was labelled as reckless and misogynistic. They labelled it public dominance and proof

  • In love with my boss   66. Far from the mad crowd

    Rosa’s POVI was still mad from Patra’s call that felt more like an interrogation than genuine excitement for me when my phone buzzed. At first, I thought it was probably a text from Patra. Maybe she was finally back to her senses and was apologizing for not sharing in my joy and ruining it with questions. But as I reached for the phone, I saw a different name on the screen. A name that made my blood curl.Charly Baker. I was pissed. Why was he bothering me so much? He had five years to make me his woman and he took me for granted. Now, he wants me back just because he found out that I’m valuable. My finger touched the screen and I opened the message:Return the ring, Rose. You belong to me.I bit my lips angrily. Charles was a manipulative idiot, and I was going to give him a piece of my mind soon. If he wasn’t constantly stepping in my way, I would have forgotten that he existed. I swiped the message off, and immediately, my eyes caught my name in a headline. I was trending. The

  • In love with my boss   65. An unexpected proposal

    Rosa’s POVI stood frozen in the middle of the crowd, heart pounding as my eyes searched desperately for Evelyn. But she was gone. One moment, she had been on that podium, spilling lies and owning the attention of the entire city, and now, she had vanished. And all that was left was a hungry crowd, reaching for us to answer their endless questions. Reporters were shouting questions and cameras flashed rudely, unaware of the state of helplessness that I was in. Then a firm hand held mine. I tried to snatch my hand away, thinking it was a stranger. But I felt the scent of his aftershave, and suddenly, I felt grounded. But there was everything wrong about him holding me that way. “Alex,” I whispered, lips barely moving. “We’re in public.”His grip tightened instead. “I’m not letting go,” he said in that tone that told me it was nonnegotiable.Before I could try to argue, he pulled me with him, straight through the crowd. Cameras followed us like flies to a pot of soup. All I heard wa

  • In love with my boss   64. The interview

    Rosa’s POVAt first, Old man Kane was muttering incoherently, his lips trembling as if the name was stuck somewhere deep in his throat. Then suddenly, as we were trying to understand what was going on, he lurched forward, his hands shaking more. “Eveyn,” he muttered, confirming my guess. “Eve..I’m sorry.”Alex moved to his side instantly. “Dad,” he said, holding his trembling hand. “Dad, it’s okay.”Alex’s voice was as broken as his father’s. Old man Kane's breathing became uneven. It was becoming a crisis we had not witnessed in a long time. His words started dissolving into incoherent mumbles again and the only word that made sense was when he called Evelyn. His eyes were beginning to dart around, like he was expecting her to materialise.We had no choice. The nurse was called and the sedative was given to him. By the time the nurse led him to his room, he was already heavily sedated. My chest tightened and tears threatened to spill from my eyes. I stood there long after the nurse

  • In love with my boss   63. A new heir to the Kanes

    Rosa’s POVI woke up to Alex lying beside me. I didn’t move at first. I just stared, unable to believe if I was in a long dream after I had discovered that Charles had lied to me, or if this was truly real. But the man beside me was breathing…like it was reality. I, Rosa, was in Alex’s bed. I sat up, watching him for a while, smiling. When I couldn’t hold myself anymore, I traced a finger along his jawline. It felt good waking up next to him. Alex Kane was devastatingly handsome in his sleep. And he was mine. It made my heart flutter. Last night, after returning late from our failed trip, Alex had been so devastated. I was worried for him, and when he asked me to spend the night with him, I wasted no time. We spent most of the night cuddled, saying barely anything. He didn’t need to. I knew he was worried. But this morning, I woke up with a crazy hope that we were going to find Evelyn. Evelyn Cole. I wondered why she didn’t use Kane and what her story was. Leaning forward, I pres

  • In love with my boss   62. Finding Evelyn

    Rosa’s POVThe ride to North Carolina had been awkward. Bush sat in the front, eyes peeled on the road, while Alex and I were in the backseat, the silence stretching between us like a taut wire. I could feel Alex's stiffness even without looking at him. I was resting on his shoulder and it felt stiff and his hand over my thighs was clenched. It was so awkward that I knew I had to break the tension. Maybe if I started talking, everyone would feel at ease. “So…what do you think Evelyn would be like?” I asked, keeping my light. “Do you think she’s into tech…or maybe she’s just living a totally different life?”Alex gave a small, noncommittal shrug. Bush suggested that she was probably spoiled, rich, and pampered like she had the world at her feet. Hours passed and the car finally rolled to a stop in a quiet neighborhood, the kind where houses were modest…not flashy or too small. I could imagine almost immediately that she wasn’t a pampered girl like Bush claimed. The money Old man Kan
