Rosa’s POV

Tonight, Alex decided to role-play as a masseur. When I told him my body ached and I desperately needed a massage, he wasted no time stepping into character.

The moment he peeled his shirt off, I burst out laughing.

“How are we supposed to focus on massaging if you’re going to distract me with biceps and…all of that?” I teased.

Without answering, he reached for the switch, and turned off the overhead light. “Allow me,” he said calmly.

I sat on the bed, thoroughly entertained as he

  • 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

  • In love with my boss   183. Overdose

    Rosa's POV I started feeling better a few minutes later after I took the prescribed drugs. But emotionally, I was still upset.Very upset.I sat at the edge of the bed quietly, arms folded across my chest, staring at nothing in particular when Charles finally came into the room.The moment he saw my expression, he sighed softly.“I know you’re angry with me,” he said as he walked closer.I did not answer.He sat beside me carefully and reached for my hand, but I did not move.“Rosa,” he said softly, “everything I’m doing is for your own good. You heard the doctor. Your blood pressure is okay because I'm constantly trying to keep you indoors.”I finally turned toward him.“You refused to take me to the hospital despite the fact that I was in pain,” I muttered.“I was trying to protect you,” he replied immediately. “Your blood pressure is high, and the doctor specifically warned against unnecessary stress.”I looked away again. He continued talking anyway.“That’s why he doesn’t mind b

  • In love with my boss   182. Crampy morning

    Rosa's POV I woke up feeling wrong. At first, it was just a dull ache curling around my stomach, the kind of discomfort that made me think maybe I had slept badly or eaten something my body did not like. I stayed still for a moment, breathing slowly and waiting for it to pass.But it did not.Instead, it began to spread to my back and I knew I was sick. I needed Charles and I didn't think I could shout loud enough for him to hear me.The moment I tried to sit up, a sharp pain stabbed through my back and down my side so suddenly that I sucked in a breath and grabbed the edge of the bed. My entire body tensed immediately.Something was definitely wrong.Fear climbed into my chest so fast that it almost choked me.“The baby,” I whispered to myself, pressing a hand against my stomach.I forced myself out of bed anyway, even though my legs felt weak and every step hurt. The pain was not unbearable, but it was enough to make panic bloom inside my chest with every passing second because I f

  • 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

    Rosa’s POVI 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 ou

    Rosa’s POVAlex’s hand traced lazily along my arm, like he didn’t care about the magnitude of what I was about to tell him, like it didn’t matter. His thumb brushed the back of my hand and he raised his head to look at me, really look. A teasing glint appeared in his sea blue eyes shortly. “Is tha
