Rosa’s POV

I 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.

  • In love with my boss   71. Staged performance of an ex

    Alex’s POVA few hours earlier…The moment I saw Sandra, I knew she was trouble. She was the woman who had harassed Rossa and I had warned her never to set foot in my company again. Seeing her standing there made my blood boil. For a split second, only one thought ran through my head. Had she touched Rosa?If she had, I didn’t care what the media called me: Bully, tyrant, or monster; all hell was going to break loose. No one had the right to lay a hand on Rosa. The moment she spotted me, her face twisted into a staged frown. She marched towards me, determined, and before I could even process what was happening, her palm cracked against my face. Gasp erupted and cameras appeared like they had been waiting for it. That was when I knew that it was staged. She had been paid to do this, to get me angry, to prove a point to all of them shouting outside. I clenched my fists at my sides, biting down on my jaw, forcing every muscles in my body to stay still. I would not give them what t

  • In love with my boss   69. Go tame your rabid dog

    Rosa’s POVI stepped out of the company feeling empty. My hands were trembling and my heart was close to breaking. Patra’s reaction kept playing in my head, over and over again. She was the only friend I had and I hadn’t expected what she did. She had dismissed my panic like it was nothing. It was unlike her. I stared at her phone for a while before unlocking it. At least, my fingerprint was still saved in her phone. I dialed my number and what I saw on the screen shocked me. B-I-T-C-HBitch. That was what she saved my number as. I stared at the scene, confusion finally twisting into hurt. When had she changed my name? It had always been BFF. The ringing pulled me out of my thoughts and I held my breath, praying that someone would answer and I would have the documents again. But there was no answer. I tried again, unrelenting. And again. And again.But there was no response. No one was picking the call. Panic rose again.Then a notification appeared: Coding almost done. For a f

  • In love with my boss   69. Missing

    Rosa’s POVI rushed out of the hospital ignoring the nurse calling after me to stay. I flagged down a cab with shaking hands and told him to take me to Sunshine Cafe…that was where I had been hit by a bicycle.As the cab moved through traffic, I clasped my hands together and prayed silently. I couldn’t lose that document. Not after I had taken them without telling Alex. The news of the pregnancy was the least of my problems right now. If those documents were missing, I didn’t know how I would face Alex. When the cab stopped, my heart was pounding so loudly that I could barely hear the street noise. I stepped out and looked around wildly. The spot where I had been hit was empty. No bag. No spilled coffee. No smashed cake on the pavement. Nothing. Just pedestrians walking past, completely oblivious to the fact that my world was collapsing right there on the sidewalk.At first, I didn’t move an inch. I stared at the ground for several seconds, as though my bag would somehow materialise

  • In love with my boss   68. Game on

    Patra’s POVWe raised our glasses, the crystals clinking softly as laughter followed from my mouth. “I still can’t believe it,” I said. “Kane Tech is falling.”Charles dropped his glass cup on the table. “This is only the beginning," he said. “By the time I’m done with Alex Kane, no one in this city will remember the Kanes ever existed.”Saying that made Charles look so irresistible. I stood up and crossed to the side slowly as he trained his eyes on me. This was the perfect time to win Charly’s heart. I had failed in college but this time, I couldn’t afford to. Back then, it was easier to let him off because he was just Charly. But now, he was becoming a sensation and I was a main part of his success. It only meant that I had to have his heart. I sat on his lap, silently marking him as mine. But I wasn’t done. My lips claimed him. In the past, we were always intimate when he wanted to, when he wanted a distraction from Rosa. But I didn’t want to be the side piece he’d come running t

  • 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
