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
In love with my boss 172. A life I didn't remember
Rosa’s POVI had already returned to the bed by the time Charles walked in. I sat upright, composed, a soft smile on my face like I hadn't moved an inch.He stepped in with a tray in his hand and a smile that looked almost too perfect. A bowl of ramen sat on the tray, steam rising from it.My stomach reacted immediately.I had not eaten properly in hours, maybe longer, and even though ramen was not something I would have chosen, hunger made the decision for me.“Thank you,” I said, taking it from him as soon as he wwas a few feet from me.“It’s the only thing I could find,” he replied, setting the tray down with an uneasy chuckle. “I even had to check the expiry date.”That made me pause for a second, mind racing again.If this was our home, if we had lived here recently, why was he checking expiry dates on something as basic as instant noodles? Why was that even the only thing available in the kitchen?The question rose in my mind, but I pushed it down and told myself that I was over
In love with my boss 171. A design that stopped mouths
Alex’s POVThe first place I went when I got back to Manhattan was Charles’s house. I did not think about it. I just drove there, like someone possessed. A part of me still held on to something stubborn that refused to accept what was obvious. I needed to see it for myself. I needed to stand in front of that house and prove that he had not vanished.But the moment I pulled up, I knew that the house was dead.Every window was shut tight and the curtains were drawn in a way that blocked out any chance of seeing inside.Charles Baker was gone.I stepped out of the car slowly, my eyes scanning the property as if I would find something I had missed.But there was nothing that hinted me. Not even a trace.My jaw tightened with regret. If I had stopped that night…If I had followed him when I saw him on the road instead of driving past, maybe I would have been able to find out the truth.I exhaled sharply and dragged a hand down my face. Charles had run away. That was the only explanation th
In love with my boss 94. I wasn't ready for another heartbreak
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.

Rosa’s POVI couldn’t stop thinking about what Alex had told me. My mind was racing so wildly that sitting still felt impossible. Earlier, while I was asleep, he had gone to the hospital where my grandfather had been rushed when he was discovered dead. He had requested his file.“Your grandfathe

Rosa’s POVThe ride to the ranch felt hauntingly familiar, even though it had been years and the roads were no longer the same. I remember clearly how I had boarded a bus back then, clutching my small bag, and never looking back. Now, I was heading back home, my heart oddly hopeful.I found myself

Rosa’s POVIt was Saturday, and like a ritual, I was on my way to Patra’s house. We had done this for as long as I could remember. But as I headed toward her apartment today, the familiar excitement of having a good time with Patra was gone. In its place was a restless knot in my chest. Too many
