Rosa’s POV

The 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

  • In love with my boss   189. Where is Mr. Kane?

    Alex's POV The luncheon was supposed to be a celebration. Instead, it felt like another reminder of Rosa and all my fears.Kane Tech had organized the event to celebrate the new international partnerships we had secured after presenting the software design. The board was excited. The shareholders were excited. Even the media had been talking nonstop about how Kane Tech had survived the storm that nearly destroyed the company.But none of it mattered to me.Not when Rosa was still missing.That morning before leaving the house, I stopped by my father’s room.The curtains were half drawn, allowing faint sunlight to spill across the floor because he hated the lights and he didn't like complete darkness. He sat on the bed quietly with a cup of tea beside him, staring blankly at the ceiling like he had been doing for days now.The sight broke my heart. My father had once been the loudest man in any room. Now silence surrounded him constantly.I stayed by the doorway for a moment before

  • In love with my boss   188. Another Rosa

    Rosa's POV Ever since I saw Alex Kane on the television, I had not been able to stop thinking about him. His face stayed in my mind constantly like I was supposed to remember him and his name echoed inside my head like something my body recognized even when my memory refused to cooperate. Sometimes I caught myself repeating his name silently without even realizing it. Alex Kane. There was something about him, and it was driving me insane, because no matter how hard I tried, I still could not remember why. I wanted to turn on the TV and see if there would be something else about him. But Charles’ presence had started feeling suffocating. He was always around. He was always watching me. Always somewhere close enough to make me feel trapped, like he was trying to read my thoughts. The only time he truly gave me space was whenever he took his secret phone calls, and when he did, he always spoke in hushed tones or stepped far enough away that I could never hear what he was saying

  • In love with my boss   187. Tell me your dreams

    Rosa's POV A week after I started avoiding the coffee, I finally had a dream. Not an ordinary dream. It felt so real that when I woke up, I expected to wake up in the mansion I had been in my dream.In the dream, I had been standing inside a huge house that looked like a mansion. There were people around me. Faces I recognised and voices I knew.It had not felt like imagination. It had felt like a part of my memory.I sat upright immediately, trying to hold onto the details before they disappeared. My head throbbed lightly as I struggled to remember the faces I had seen.Someone had been smiling at me. Someone had called my name…And then the bedroom door opened. Charles walked in carrying the usual cup of coffee.The moment I saw it, my thoughts scattered because my mind started spinning with how to avoid the drink. Before I could even continue trying to remember the dream, Charles had already crossed the room and sat beside me, smiling softly while handing me the cup.By the time I

  • In love with my boss   186. A bold step

    Evelyn's POV My body had still been trembling even several minutes after I spoke. Not because I had been scared of the boardroom.But every single time I had stood in that room before, I had stood against Rosa. I had humiliated her publicly…in this room.I had treated her like an outsider even after everything she had done for this family. And now, for the first time, I had stood up to defend her.The weight of that realization sat heavily inside my chest as I remained seated, trying to ignore the looks that had quietly started moving around the room. I already knew what everybody was thinking.Evelyn Kane defending Rosa Castillo?It probably sounded impossible to them.Alex’s voice eventually broke through the silence.“Since the software was created by both Rosa Castillo and Evelyn Kane, then there is no reason it cannot be presented to the partners.”I nodded slightly, trying to steady myself. Nobody argued after that. They could not.The moment my name became attached to the soft

  • In love with my boss   185. Beyond brilliance

    Alex's POV The last thing I wanted was to sit in that house and drown in Rosa’s absence.Every corner of the mansion reminded me of her. My father kept asking about her, and each time he did, I found myself lying just to keep him calm. The nurses had continued making the coffee Rosa used to prepare for him every morning, and somehow, it was helping his recovery. He remembered her constantly. It was a good sign…but it was an ugly reminder.I could not stay there any longer and wait for a miracle to happen, for the door of the bedroom to open and Rosa would stand there, with a traveling bag, announcing that she had gone on a vacation.So I went to work.Before leaving the house that morning, I picked up Rosa’s laptop carefully. My fingers lingered against it for a moment because it still felt like holding a piece of her. The software design inside that laptop had become more important than ever.Kane Tech was crumbling. Rumors had spread across the media about the international partne

  • In love with my boss   184. Something in the coffee

    Rosa's POV It was the coffee.The realization came to me slowly that night, piece by piece, until it settled certainly in my chest.I lay on the bed beside Charles with my eyes open long after the lights went out, and my heart racing too hard for sleep to come. My mind kept replaying the text message I had seen on his phone earlier that evening.I kept trying to remember when exactly Charles had given me medicine, but the more I thought about it, the more confused I became. I replayed every part of my day from beginning to end, searching for anything I might have forgotten.I remembered every conversations we had clearly. I remembered all the meals we ate for the whole week.But I could not remember taking any medication from Charles.Not once.That was what terrified me the most. Because if Dr. Anthony was warning him about overdosing me, then it meant one thing.Charles had been giving me something without my knowledge.I turned slowly on the bed and stared into the darkness. That
