Rosa’s POV

I knew it was up to me to revive Alex. I couldn’t afford the public finding something to use against him again.

A CEO who got drunk in office?

That was a disaster.

Whatever it took, I had to do it. My head was spinning with panic. I had no medical knowledge and no phone. There was only one thing that screamed in my head. I grabbed a bottle of water and splashed it on his face, hoping it would wake him up.

I crouched over him, pressing my ear to his chest, listening for a heartbeat

  • In love with my boss   151. A turning point

    Rosa's POV I heard clapping.“You know why I was drawn to you, Rosa,” Charles said. “Because you’re smart. Very smart. Now tell me, what do you want?”I steadied my voice, even though my heart was racing. This was the moment I took control back. Once I was done with him, I could finally breathe. I could finally feel like I deserved the life I had now.“You always wanted me to be a secret,” I said. “It didn’t matter how much I did for you. The designs, the effort to look perfect —everything. But I was never good enough for you. You kept me in the background.” I paused. “That’s exactly where I want to stay now.”I stopped to catch my breath.“I want nothing to do with you, Charles,” I continued, my voice tighter. “No one should ever know we had a past. We were never even married. And this baby is not yours. Stay away from me, and I’ll do the same.”I tightened my grip on the phone.“As for Taylor, she’s gone. I’ve fired her. And I’ll find every other person you planted in my company. I

  • In love with my boss   150. No more lies, Charles

    Rosa's POV The next two days passed in a blur. I was not myself. Because the betrayal still lingered, sharp and unbearable in my chest.I woke up the morning after discovering who Patra truly was, feeling sick and unable to get out of bed. At some point, I drifted back to sleep. When I woke up again, it was midday, and my phone was ringing. I peeked at my phone on the nightstand and saw it was a call from Alex.He was calling to remind me to eat.If only he knew I had not even had breakfast.I forced myself to eat something small, but the disgust I felt toward myself made everything difficult to swallow. I could not even bring myself to shower until evening, when I could no longer stand the way I felt in my own skin.The rest of the day passed with me lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, the pristine walls, and the chandelier. I kept asking myself the same question.Was I even worthy of any of this?Sleep eventually claimed me again until a knock on my door woke me sometime in the e

  • In love with my boss   149. A princess in a bubble

    Taylor's POV I didn’t even realize she had called me by my real name until I saw the smirk on her face.“Wh—?”“You can stop the act, Taylor,” she said. “I know who you are.”Oh, blessed perfect.So I could finally drop the act? I had been waiting for this moment for years.I let out a scoff. “You must be really slow, Rosa. What did it take? Fucking six years? Seven? Before you figured it out?”“You snake!”I raised a hand. “On please. Save the insults.”I didn’t even care how she found out. “It was you all along…”I spread my arms with a smile. “Surprise... I’m Taylor Casatelli.”She looked like she had seen a ghost. She stepped back and sank into the chair, her face pale. Good, let it sink in.“Rosa,” I continued, “you are the biggest fool I’ve ever met. Do you really think knowing my name makes you smart? You have no effing idea.”She shook her head. “No… Taylor. I know more than your name. I know you’re working for Charles Baker, spying for him.”I laughed.“You’re not any bette

  • In love with my boss   148. Fool of the year

    Rosa's POV I couldn’t breathe.Everything crashed into place at once. The shock was sharp and electrifying, and the betrayal cut deep into my heart. Patra was Taylor Casatelli all along. All this time.Memory followed memory as I sat down there, staring at the blurred photo. I remembered the day she told me Charles was cheating, the quiet way she had said it, like she had been so certain. All along, it had been her.It had been fucking her.My hands trembled as I held the phone. It took everything in me not to drop it. I had suspected she was hiding something, but never this. Never something this terrible.My vision blurred with tears. I lifted my head and stared at the street leading to her house and my chest ached.I had trusted her.All this time, she had been working for Charles. Sleeping with him long before he ever came near me. Our meeting had probably been arranged. Nancy, Charles, and her…they had all fooled me.For a moment, I almost told the driver to turn back. I wanted

  • In love with my boss   147. The face behind the name

    Rosa's POVSomething told me to make a detour to Patra’s place.Alex was away, and Evelyn and I were still not on speaking terms. She said hello when she saw me, and that was all. She stayed in her room most of the time, and I had no intention of forcing a conversation or looking like I needed company.So that evening, as I headed home, I changed my mind.Maybe I would find her with Charles Baker. Maybe I could finally get something to keep him quiet. That would be scandalous enough to keep him quiet. Investors were around the city and right now, I didn't think he could afford a scandal.“I’m not heading home yet,” I told my driver.I sent him her location and leaned back, trying to understand what I was doing.Was I trying to fix things between us?Was that what I really wanted?I let out a slow breath. The truth was, I missed Patra. And maybe I had punished her enough.That did not mean I had forgiven her. Not yet. I still needed to confront her about Charles. The same Charles she h

  • In love with my boss   146. Digging dirt on Charles Baker

    Rosa's POV Alex’s flight was scheduled for early that morning, and once he was gone, the mansion felt too quiet. And too empty.If Old Man Kane had been around, at least there would have been some form of entertainment, chatting with him, and making him tea. I was too restless to stay home, so I decided to go to work even though I had planned to take the day off.My mornings looked very different now.I had five personal assistants. By seven, they confirmed whether I would be coming in. And by eight, my official vehicle was waiting. My team, as I liked to call them, always stood at the entrance of the company, ready for me.It was quite a sight, watching them flank me in their sharp black and white suits, carrying themselves with polished confidence.It was fun. And it was something I had never imagined for myself.That morning, as I stepped into reception, my eyes met Patra’s. I wanted to talk to her, to give her one final chance to come clean. Maybe she knew something damaging abou

  • In love with my boss   Three million dollars for a lie

    Rosa’s POVI grabbed my robe and pulled it tightly around me as I slid off the bed. “I need to answer this,” I said. Alex hesitated, his hands lingering in the air before he finally stepped back. I couldn’t take the call with him there—not when I had no idea what the caller was about to say. I clu

    Rosa’s POVI tried to signal to Charles to back down, to stop the drama. But he wasn’t even looking at me. His attention was solely fixed on Alex, like I wasn’t standing right there between them. My palms grew slick with sweat, my heartbeat thundering so loudly I was sure the microphones around it
