Rosa’s POV

I watched as another piece of my past was erased. The store room had held more than records, it held memories of my father and me. It was where I learned about currency exchange, and about balancing sheets and keeping accounts. My father used to sit me down there, his voice calm and patient, as he explained why numbers mattered.

“Because the ranch will expand beyond this town someday,” he’d said, “and it’ll be under your care.”

Now that promise burned with the building.

  • In love with my boss   145. Truth for dessert

    Rosa's POV My heart raced because I had no idea how to begin. How was I supposed to look Alex in the eyes and tell him about my past? How was I supposed to say, “Hey, I was hired by my fake husband to sabotage your company. But I didn't really hurt you because it was your father who was CEO then”?The evening was ready. I had prepared dinner myself, and tonight we were having a private meal that I was about to ruin with the truth. I only hoped Alex would not be too angry to hear me out, to understand that I had been planted in his company long before he arrived, sent there to sabotage its effort to bring Baker Tech down or steal its clients.“This looks beautiful,” Alex said from behind me.His hands settled on my shoulders before I could turn. Then I felt his lips brush against my hair. “But you look more beautiful, Rose.”I smiled at the compliment.He moved around the table and took his seat. I swallowed the lump in my throat and forced a smile.After dinner, I told myself.I did

  • In love with my boss   A truce and a curveball

    Rosa's POV The smug on her face vanished. I was the one smiling now. She had thought she was somebody important.“It's not true,” she said, this time her voice quiet, no longer carrying that air of arrogance. “The gate…” she pointed. “It identified me as a Kane.”“I registered your name and ID there because I knew someday you'd come to your senses and look for me.”She shook her head again.“This could be a fabricated letter,” she said. “My mum never wrote it.”“And a DNA test? Will that be okay for you? Will a testimony from William Bush, your uncle, be enough?”She shook her head. “An uncle?”“Yes,” Alex replied. “I'll take you to him after you make that apology. But first…you owe Rosa a big apology, don't you think?”If she was wise, she would choose peace, swallow her huge pride, and do exactly what Alex asked her. “I'm sorry,” she muttered incoherently.“As loud as you were when you called her unprintable names.”Call me petty but I was dying to hear her apologize to not only m

  • In love with my boss   143. My mother's son is my step brother

    Evelyn's POV I stayed quiet throughout the journey back home. Not because I was remorseful. I was lost in my thoughts.I had thought Joey had only contacted Patra, or that Patra had contacted him. Whichever way it was. But it turned out he was everywhere, commenting on every post dragging me online. He was telling people about my past, about where I came from, about how I was nothing before I suddenly appeared. And he was even daring to lie that he had been responsible for me before I ran away.I bit my lip, tossed my phone aside, and faced the road.Rosa sat beside me, stealing glances at me like she thought I would give her the chance to speak to me.I wouldn’t…ever.All I wanted was to get home and lock myself in my room. That wasn’t too much to ask, was it?When we arrived at the estate, I pushed the door open before the steward could get to it.“Get out of my way!” I snapped, brushing past him.I marched upstairs, eager to shut myself away from everyone and think about how to de

  • In love with my boss   142. A video from the past

    Evelyn's POV I could only trust them as far as I could throw them with my left hand, and that was not far at all. I had just survived an accident, and I did not need anyone to tell me it was her.Rosa.That desperate social climber.HR had already told me she had a secret. Something big. Something she was waiting to use at the perfect time.Of course she saw me as a threat. I was gladly one.She probably tried to kill me, then called hours later pretending to care. And Alex? He had already been completely blinded by her.How could he not care that I was gone the entire day, only to show up and start demanding apologies from me?No.If this was what having a brother felt like, I would rather be alone.The moment they stepped out, I followed them. I was not going to sit in that hospital room while they planned to kill me. They had not gone far when I reached the door. They stood close, speaking in low tones, like they were sharing something important. Rather, like they were plotting so

  • In love with my boss   141. It was like telling a wall to move

    Rosa's POV By the time we got to the hospital, Evelyn had already come out of a minor surgery. She was sitting up in bed with that same smug look, like she was waiting to be scolded and ready to argue back.“What happened?” Alex asked the moment we got in.I stayed back, choosing a quiet corner and letting him handle it.“I was in an accident,” she said after staring at him for a few seconds, like she was deciding whether to respond and how to respond.The doctor had mentioned a few scratches and a deep cut on her leg. Aside from that, she was lucky.Her attitude, however, was untouched.“Why is she here?” she asked, tilting her chin toward me. “She’s not family. She shouldn’t be here.”“Rosa is family,” Alex said firmly. “The sooner you accept that, the better. And don’t think this excuses what you did. You still owe the public and that lady at the store an apology. First, you owe Rosa one.”I said nothing. I had no intention of brushing it aside.No. She needed to apologize.Evelyn

  • In love with my boss   140. It was feminine but calmer

    Rosa's POV I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.I turned to Alex. He was frowning. “Evelyn didn’t come home.”“She knows what she’s done,” he said, unbothered. “She knows I’ll reprimand her. It doesn’t matter how long she stays away. She owes the store, the staff, and the public an apology for what she did.”I nodded, though my thoughts drifted.I didn’t know Evelyn well, but I knew she was defiant. She had gone live and caused that scene knowing the consequences. She didn’t strike me as someone who would run away after doing what she did.Still, the events of the day soon pushed the thought aside. I was back in my office, arranging it to my taste. New furniture, fresh roses, and carefully selected accessories slowly turned the space into something that felt like mine. This time, I didn't feel like I had walked into a space that wasn't mine, it felt comfortable instead and when I glanced at my name on the plaque, it felt good.Later, the top executives met with the
