Rosa’s POV

I pulled away from Alex. He was frowning too, which told me he had heard the scream as clearly as I had. Outside, chaos erupted with people running, shouting, and all moving toward one section of the ranch. Alex took my hand, guiding me carefully as we followed the crowd.

Then I saw it.

Huge flames licked at the building like it had a personal vendetta against it, devouring wood and everything in it.

“Wh-what happened?” I asked no one in particular.

A woman beside me answered. I gue

  • In love with my boss   194. Who is Alex Kane?

    .Rosa's POV Dinner that evening felt like we were mourning. The silence sitting at the table with us was heavier than the food itself.Charles barely looked at me throughout the meal. He answered the questions I asked absentmindedly, checked his phone repeatedly, and seemed distracted by something far away from the dining room.It hurt more than I wanted to admit. Because despite all my suspicions, and despite everything that felt wrong about him lately, a part of me had grown used to his attention.He used to hover around me constantly, kiss me a lot, and show concern if I was not eating. Now it suddenly felt like he could barely tolerate sitting across from me. And that I was a burden.Halfway through dinner, Charles suddenly turned toward Anne, who was standing somewhere in the corner like she wanted to disappear.“You should join us,” he said casually.I looked up immediately, surprised. Anne looked equally startled.Charles glanced toward me before speaking again. “Anne is pract

  • In love with my boss   193. An unwelcomed guest at luncheon

    Alex's POV I was done protecting Christopher Kane.Completely done.After the conversation I had with my father the previous night, part of me actually wanted the world to know the truth. Let them know Christopher Kane was sick.Let them know the mighty chairman of Kane Tech was slowly losing his mind. Because maybe then he would finally understand what I had been trying to tell him all along.The public was ruthless and the media was ever ready to feast on us. The moment they sensed weakness, they attacked like vultures.And despite everything happening around us, despite Rosa being missing, despite the pressure crushing me from every direction, my father still cared more about appearances than anything else.That night after leaving his room, I could not even stay in the house. I drove straight to a bar. I drank far more than I should have. The last time I was in such a state was the day I returned to Manhattan and couldn't face my father so I stayed in the office and got drunk.Th

  • In love with my boss   192. A girl named Anne

    Rosa's POV Breakfast had become the most awkward part of my day. Not because of the food. Charles made sure the dining table looked like something from a luxury lifestyle magazine. Like we were in a set for the perfect family.There was always fresh juice, warm pancakes, coffee, and fruits, and enough food to feed a small village. Charles always took his time to make a sumptuous breakfast.But none of it mattered when your mind felt like a battlefield.I sat quietly at the table, forcing myself to eat while my thoughts spun endlessly around everything happening in my life.Alex Kane.That name kept ringing in my head like it was something I was not supposed to discard. Charles had said he was my ex, and the Rosa he was looking for was a different Rosa. But my mind refused to settle.I stabbed my fork into a pancake and tried convincing myself I still had control over something.Then the doorbell rang.My brows furrowed immediately. For the past two weeks, nobody visited the house exc

  • In love with my boss   191. Dementia or not

    Alex's POV My father sat upright slowly, adjusting the blanket over his legs like a man who had merely woken from a nap instead of months of dementia.I stared at him, stunned.Not because he sat up. But because he looked fine. His eyes were sharp and focused in the way I remembered it. There was no confusion swimming in them. No emptiness.Just my father in full terrifying clarity.For a moment, I thought I had finally lost my mind or I was dreaming.My throat tightened. "What the hell is going on?"He sighed heavily and leaned back against the pillows. "It started with the headaches," he said. His gaze was less intense but it still carried disappointment it always did. "Months ago. They became frequent, so I went for a medical checkup.My entire body had gone rigid. I knew that my father was about to confess to something bad."The doctors noticed some mild memory issues caused by stress and exhaustion. Age catches up eventually, Alexander.” He chuckled despite the growing tension i

  • In love with my boss   190. The chase

    Alex's POV The moment I got to Baker Tech, I saw Charles’ car parked outside the building.He was there, just as Chelsea had said. And judging from the length of time he had stayed, I already suspected he had come to finalize the sale of his ownership of the company.I quickly texted Chelsea.Is he inside?A few minutes later, her reply came in.Yes. He’s in a meeting with the shareholders. It may take a couple of hours.I leaned back against the seat and exhaled slowly.I stayed there waiting. Minutes turned into an hour. Then another.At some point, Evelyn called.NThe moment I answered, her frustrated voice came through immediately.“Why did you leave the luncheon like that? People are asking questions. Are you okay?”I rubbed my forehead tiredly while keeping my eyes fixed on the company entrance.“I’m fine,” I muttered. “I’m onto something involving Rosa.”Immediately, her tone changed. “What do you mean? Have you seen her?”“I think Charles is finally leading me to her.”Silenc

  • 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
