Rosa’s POV

I spent the entire afternoon preparing. Every detail was important. And when Alex walked in, I could see the way his eyes darkened and the satisfied smug playing at the corner of his lips as he took in the setting. And me. My heart was racing, not from fear, but anticipation.

“You’ve outdone yourself, Rose,” he said, his gaze never leaving me.

I leaned back slightly in my lingerie and spread a teasing smile across my face. “Desssert comes last,” I said, subtly hinting at myself. “Bu

  • In love with my boss   178. Good liar

    Charles' POV If I had kept my eyes on the road instead of drowning in my anger, I would have noticed Alex trailing behind me.But I did not even realize until it was too late. By the time I realized anything was wrong, I had already driven into the compound and handed him exactly what he wanted.My location.That alone was dangerous. But it was not the worst part. The worst part was standing in front of Rosa now, watching her look at me with expectations to answer the questions she had asked, knowing she had heard everything.But I was not prepared to answer them. For a brief moment, my mind went completely blank. Then it began to spin, scrambling for a believable answer. Because that was the problem with Rosa. Even without her memories, she still thought too clearly.She did not just accept everything I told her the last one week we stayed together. She questioned it until it was believable enough.“I didn’t want to tell you,” I began, forcing my voice to stay steady and convincing.

  • In love with my boss   177. Calling bestie

    Rosa's POV I stared at the phone for what felt like forever, my reflection staring back at me from the dark screen as though it was waiting for me to remember something I simply could not reach.The image on the wallpaper had already settled one truth in my mind.This phone belonged to me. And there was no doubt about it.But knowing that did not make unlocking it any easier.My fingers hovered uncertainly as I studied the screen, my brows pulled together in frustration. I knew what a phone was. I knew what it was supposed to do. Yet the steps to make it work felt just out of reach, like a word sitting at the tip of my tongue that refused to be spoken.Then I noticed a small sensor by the side. Something about it pulled at my curiosity. I did not know how I knew, but I felt it was important to unlock the phone.I lifted my hand and pressed my finger against it. The phone unlocked instantly.A small gasp escaped from my throat.Relief and excitement rushed through me so fast that it a

  • In love with my boss   176. Partners in crime

    Rosa's POV I needed answers, and I needed them without raising suspicion. As the woman stepped into the other room to plug in my phone, I sat still on the couch, my fingers wrapped around the empty glass of water, my mind working faster on how best to approach the conversation I wanted to have with her.I could not afford to sound strange or make her uncomfortable. If she sensed anything was off, she would call me crazy and kick me out, and I would lose the only hope I had.When she returned, I had already placed the glass aside and arranged my look into something calm.“How are you holding up?” she asked as she settled on a couch across from me.“I’m fine,” I replied with a small smile.She exhaled, leaning back like she was tired and wanted to rest. “Motherhood is not as glamorous as people make it seem,” she said, shaking her head lightly, and chuckling all the same. “We did not even plan for the second baby. Managing a toddler and a newborn at the same time has been a lot. I bar

  • In love with my boss   175. Lost memories

    Alex's POV “Where is she?!”My voice tore through the room before I even realized how loud it was. My fists were still clenched, and my blood was boiling with a rage I had stopped trying to control. I did not care who was watching. I did not care if we were in public and a fight could ruin the reputation I was fighting so hard to maintain. All I saw was him.Charles.That fucking bastard.He stayed on the ground for a few seconds after my punch landed, then pushed himself up slowly, wiping the side of his mouth as if nothing had happened. Around us, the room had gone still. The waitresses stood, eyes darted away, even though I knew they had witnessed what happened clearly.I had come early for this. I had no intention of waiting for negotiations or buying a part of his company.Chelsea had done her part, and the moment she told me Charles was selling his controlling stake, I knew I had my opening. He had vanished from his apartment and had gone off the grid. The only way to get to h

  • In love with my boss   174. Imprisoned with kisses and hugs

    Rosa's POV The moment I heard the sound of Charles’s car leaving the compound, I snapped into motion.I did not wait a second. I had been planning this all night and even as I moved, I could feel my heart racing with excitement.It had started the night before, over dinner, the moment he announced to me that he would be going to Manhattan alone.That was when the thought first took root. I knew he would leave behind even before he said it.While he slept, I had slipped out of bed and moved downstairs in silence. The front door had three keys hanging together on a ring, and I had pulled one free, and hidden it where I knew I could find it again.I had already decided what I was going to do while he was away in Manhattan. I wasn't going to sit at home and play forgetful wife.I dressed quickly, pulling a pair of trousers and a shirt.The past week with Charles had been perfect. Too perfect that it felt fake. He had been attentive in a way that bordered on careful. There was always bre

  • In love with my boss   173. A twist

    Charles' POV Everything was finally falling into place. I had Rosa back and it felt like life was giving me a second chance with her again.New York had nothing left for me. The only thing that mattered now was that I had Rosa back, and we were no longer in that suffocating city where everything was breaking news. Jersey City was quiet, removed, untouched by the chaos I was leaving behind in Manhattan. It was the perfect place to start again.That decision alone had driven the idea of selling the company. I had built Baker Tech from nothing, and turned it into something powerful enough to attract the attention of men who would pay anything to own it. Now I was going to use that same power to buy the peace I wanted with Rosa.I didn't want the public knowing about it, most especially because of Alex. So it was a quiet move. I had reached only the important shareholders in my company that I could trust to keep the secret. It had been a closed meeting of major shareholders, the kind w

    Rosa’s POV“I’m Cat,” the lady was saying, a smirk dancing on her lips, when Alex rushed to my side. He didn’t say a word. He simply pulled me away, his grip firm, and led me back to our room. Once the door closed, he squeezed my hand tightly, like he was scared I might slip through his fingers.
