Rosa’s POV

My heart was beating so loud that everything around me silenced. It was ten years ago again when my grandfather had died from hypoglycemic shock. I was the only one at home when he passed out on the chair and I thought he was having a nap.

“Madam…madam!”

The nurse was shaking me.

“Ambulance…” I whispered. Then I screamed. “Call the ambulance.”

“Mr. Kane doesn’t want the public to know about the state of his father,” the nurse explained. “We should wait until he returns.”

  • In love with my boss   93. I found a butt...right in my face

    A FEW HOURS AGO…Alex’s POVI was still in bed when the knock came. For a second, I thought it was Rosa. Maybe she had forgotten something. Or maybe I had slept longer than I realized and she had finally returned.When I opened the door, it wasn’t Rosa.It was Emilia.She stood there with a polite smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Wouldn’t you love to have breakfast?” she asked.“Is Rose back?” I asked immediately.“Rose?” She blinked, momentarily confused“Rosa.”“Oh…” her brows lifted slightly. “No. The ride to the cemetery is long. She won’t be back anytime soon.”I nodded, irritation flickering through me. If I had known it was that far, I wouldn’t have let Rosa go alone. “I won’t have breakfast,” I said. “I usually prefer coffee after a workout.”“That’s fine,” she replied easily. She turned to leave, but something crossed my mind. “Can you direct me to Rosa’s room?” I asked. “Her childhood room.”She hesitated for a second. Then something unreadbale flashed in her eye

  • In love with my boss   92. Who the hell are you?

    Rosa’s POVThe tears poured freely as the attendant told me how my father’s body had been left in the hospital morgue for days because Emilia claimed she had no money for a proper burial.“It was the hospital that finally secured a grave site for him,” he said softly. “Together with the farmers that once worked in the ranch.”That single statement shattered something in me.It meant my father had been treated like a stranger. Like a man with no family…like his life in this town had amounted to nothing.I wanted to scream, to curse, and to tear the sky apart with my rage. But the grief clogged in my throat, and all that came out were more tears. I shoved the car door open and stumbled out.There was nothing.No headstone. No plaque…and no name carved into stone to say Johan Castillo lived here. It was just a heap of earth…like someone buried a dog.Six feet of soil and thick weeds, growing like they didn’t know whose body lay beneath them. There was no flower.A broken sound tore out

  • In love with my boss   91. Nothing sweeter than ranch sex

    Rosa’s POVEven after airing the room with sprays and changing the curtains and bedsheets, it still looked terrible. The walls were whitewashed and peeling, with thin cracks running through them like scars that might split open if we moved too roughly. “You can’t sleep here,” I told Alex. “We don’t have to stay.”He came up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist, his lips brushing my neck. “You have no idea what I can do for you, Rose.”I sat on the bed, ignoring the loud creak beneath my weight. “This isn’t what this place used to look like,” I said quietly. “I promise.”Calling it home now felt almost shameful.Alex sat beside me. “I believe you,” he said gently. “But we’re here to have a good time…and we will. And while we’re here, we’ll find out what really happened to your grandfather.”I nodded, leaning into him. He pulled my head to his shoulder. “So…was this your room?”“No,” I said after a moment. “It was my grandfather’s. I didn’t even realise it until you asked. This

  • In love with my boss   90. The seventh wonder of the world

    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 wondering if Guadalupe was still alive. Because we wanted to be alone on the journey, Alex was driving. He wore a black singlet that reminded me exactly why I was so physically drawn to him, and a straw hat that made me laugh each time I glanced his way. “It’s the best ranch look,” he said with a grin after catching me staring for the fifth time. The truth was, I missed his touch and the ride would have been far more bearable if I were curled against his chest, his arms wrapped around me.“You don’t look like a rancher,” I teased. Then I added when he frowned. “Okay…maybe a rancher who believes in sunscreen.”He laughed softly. “I bet I’ll turn the heads of every woman there.”I shook my h

  • In love with my boss   89. The perfect tea

    Rosa’s POVAlex must have heard my scream because he was in the kitchen the very next second. He had probably flown down the stairs because he had been too fast. He moved straight to me, his arms wrapping around me as his eyes swept the kitchen, trying to piece together what had happened. The mug lay shattered on the kitchen floor, tea spreading dark, still bothering to steam streaks. The nurse was pressed into a corner, pale and shaking, while old man Kane sat rigid in his chair like the villain, his gaze sharp.“She’s trying to poison me,” he snapped, pointing an accusing finger at the nurse. “Did you get hurt?” Alex asked, guiding me gently to a chair. I shook my head. “Just a little burn.”The nurse had now moved to clean up the mess. “A little burn?” Alex asked, bringing my attention back to him. He crouched in front of me. “Let me see.”“It’s nothing,” I insisted, even as my voice trembled with dread. “We can’t leave if your father won’t take tea from the nurse. That’s what

  • In love with my boss   88. Making tea

    Rosa’s POVIt felt unreal as I packed for the trip. I stood in my walk-in wardrobe, one hand resting on my stomach, the other hovering over my clothes, unsure of what to choose. For the first time, I actually felt an undeniable connection to the life growing inside me. And it didn’t feel scary admitting that I was pregnant. I was still lost in thought when I heard the door open. I didn’t need to look to know it was Alex. “I’ll do the packing," he said, gently spinning me around. He pulled me into a soft kiss before dropping to his knees and pressing his lips to my stomach. “Did you both sleep well?”I smiled widely. “I couldn’t stop thinking about the trip. I’m really excited.”He guided me toward the bed as soon as he was up on his feet, and eased me down. “Sit right here while I pack,” he said. “And don’t worry, I know exactly what you’ll need for a ranch stay.”“I believe you,” I replied, leaning back against the bed. I lay there for a while, smiling as I rubbed my stomach. The
