Donald POV"I said it was complicated." I scowled at Rosa. "At this time, I am in pain and have nothing to share with you. I must be left alone.Her expression is so solemn. There was nothing she could say. She prepared to depart after gathering her belongings. Then I realize that I will miss this lovely and wise woman for the rest of my life if I let her go.She appeared unhappy and disappointed. It is necessary for her to suppress a smile. I pulled her back as she was on the verge of leaving. Even though she was frowning, her face still looked lovely. "Hey sweetie!" I gave her a smile while extending my hands. The best thing that has ever happened to me is you, so I apologize. I cherish you, angel. Tears trickled down her smooth cheeks as she turned around. I am so excited to give my angel a hug. I gave her a tight hug, and we both held on to each other. Even when she is furious, she is stunning. I said to her, "You know what?" I am grinning, but I do not really smile. Because I app
Donald's POV I remembered Mom's message after having a great time with my friends. I reached for my car keys and phone, picked them up gently, and hurried into my limousine. A few hours later, I am standing in front of my father's house. I was promptly received by my dad's butler. "Greetings, Mr. Donald." The butler welcomed me. The glittering floor, chandelier, and gorgeous sighting flowers reminded me of the past. I recalled the times we spent playing in the garden. The chief cook, the janitors, and a large number of my dad's employees greeted me as I entered the grand building. Looking at the beautiful portrait of my dad, mom, myself, and other family members, my gorgeous mom stepped in through a lobby. "Donald, I know you will honor my invitation." She said politely with a smile on her face. My dad gave me a handshake and hugged me tightly when he came in. A few minutes later, the table was set for the lunch because it was already afternoon. My mum, dad, my sister Ver
Rosa's POV Whoa! Mr. Donald, the CEO of Hilly's business, which is ranked as the second-best city A, and I are getting married. It is unbelievable that this is finally happening. I have been waiting my entire life for this dream to come true. I went shopping today with Lilian and Evelyn, my closest friends. As we went through the shelves and racks, selecting everything we would need for the event, the excitement was intense. We purchased a lot of items, including wedding shoes and accessories. My wedding gown was the day's high point—it was amazing! is more than just a wedding dress. It was no ordinary gown. The top designer in City A created it. Crafted from the finest silk, the gown is embellished with genuine pearls and crystals that gleam with each step. When I tried it on, my figure was flawlessly displayed by the lovely lace appliances and sweetheart neckline. The back view, which was framed with glistening beadwork that added an element of allure, looked captivating as
Chapter Thirteen: Wedding day ClutterI screamed in panic as I froze, fear gripping me. "Stop! Stop right now! Please do not continue!"The tires screeched against the pavement as the driver rapidly applied the brakes and quickly reversed back. I leaned forward, trying to take in what had just happened, my breath shallow, my heart racing.I did not recognize the car in front of us, the one shining with ribbons and flowers, as the real wedding car until we were safely a few feet back. It is exquisitely decorated and embodies joy and celebration.Conversely, our car was plain and unassuming ___, just what Donald had wanted. When I saw the car in front of us, I became envious and began to question everything about our hasty wedding today. The car was not decorated, but my outfit was worth millions of dollars.With a serene and nearly different expression than usual, I looked at Lilian, who was seated next to me. She appeared unfazed by anything.The other car was so meticulously decorate
The fourteenth chapter: My day. Rosa's POV When we got to the wedding venue—a private estate nestled in the middle of the countryside—my heart began to race. Upon exiting the vehicle, I felt as if my legs were weak from the morning's chaos. The estate was exquisitely furnished and the ideal balance of elegance and intimacy. Amidst the delicate glow of fairy lights, rows of thoughtfully placed chairs, adorned with delicate ribbons and flowers, were seated. But there were not many seats available. Only close friends and family were present, as his father was the only member of his family who had largely chosen to be present. It was more painful than I would like to admit about the absence. The muted sounds of music and conversation that poured out from inside the hall confirmed my worst fears. I was not on time. The ceremony was about to begin. My chest tightened as I muttered, mainly to myself, "It has already begun." How should I proceed now? The morning's events replayed in my m
Despite the intimate atmosphere created by the soft glow of the cabin lights and the rhythmic hum of the engines, my mind would not stop racing. I forced a smile as Donald poured us glasses of champagne, his movements elegant and fluid, trying to get rid of the knot in my stomach. While enjoying the thrill of our honeymoon destination, I should be engrossed in the bliss of our wedding night. But that man—the stranger who was lurking near the door during the wedding ceremony—kept coming back to me. He had been watching me. I knew for sure. Donald whispered, "To us," and lifted his glass. His eyes were warm and promise-filled. I sipped, allowing the bubbles to tickle my throat as I clinked my glass against his. I repeated, "To us," but my thoughts were still elsewhere. Donald sat back and looked at me. "You are too quiet, babe!." His words drew back my attention, and in my mind, I pondered, "Do you want to destroy everything you've built? Today is a reality because I worked towards i
Rosa's POV. “Wow! I love the gift. It is so beautiful. I know you are wealthy, getting me a diamond? It is what I never expected from you. You are one in a million. I love you, baby.” I said, touching his soft skin and feeling so overjoyed. He dragged me once more, caressed my body, I knew it. The s·x issue has started again. I would rather not feel pain. I quickly stood and excuse him to the bathroom. He refused this time, he brought ropes out, I was wondering what is he going to do with these ropes? He asked me to lay on the bed, I did. Likewise, he tied me with the rope on the bed and s·x the living daylight out of me. I kept crying like a baby. He kept sexing for almost an hour. “What have I gotten myself into?” I yelled, the tears on my body wet him and the bed. He never cared. Few hours after, he took me to the bathroom and washed me thoroughly. He is caring, the enigmatic part of his life is his s·x life. He never showed this when we were dating, I wouldn't have married him
Chapter Seventeen : Evelyn's POV "Hello our newest bride, is being a while. How are you enjoying your honeymoon? I asked as if I care. "Wow! Evelyn babe, we are very fine dear" She replied like she is good. "I know very soon, we are going to celebrate your wedding day soon." She said. That sounded like a mock. So, she is mocking me. "Very soon dear" I just have to lie to her, yes I lied. I don't have any serious Bush*t boyfriend anywhere. I was supposed to be with her on her wedding eve, and we were going to have a small party as friends, but I would rather not be there. Likewise, I simply do not understand why the wedding had to be impromptu. My plans were all ruined. How I wished she was the one kidnapped on that very day. I owned the apartment, I accommodated her when she had nothing. I introduced her to Lilian. She took everything away from me. Yes, she did. I used to be Lilian's best friend, the closest, not until she came and ruined us. She took my place. I made her got th
Donald's POV“Look who we have here.” I exclaimed. My jaw opened.This face looked familiar, I couldn't recall where I had seen that face before. The familiarity is just too much. “Have we met before?” I asked curiously.“No……. No, sir.” She replied, her voice shaking and she faced down.“Okay, that face looked so familiar.” I. Continued.“Are you sure we've not met before?” I insisted. My brows narrowed.“No sir.” She replied again, this time she nodded her head.“Lilian, how have you been?” I inquired while trying to sit down on a chair.“I'm doing fine Donald.” Lilian answered and smiled softly at me.“Rosa, I need to leave. Thanks to God Almighty, you are getting better.” The stranger said and was about to leave.Rosa's mouth opened wide. “What the heck? Paula. You can't just leave like that. It's not too long since you came here.” Rosa continued.“I hope you are not leaving because of my husband.” she proclaimed jokingly.“No, I need to get something important.” She insisted and
Donald's POVRelaxing on my bed, but the thought of Rosa's condition is in my heart. The joy of hearing from the doctor, “She is pregnant” a few seconds later, another bad news which chartered my dream of becoming a father. The same doctor said, “If we don't do the operation, we might lose the baby and mother.” Am I dreaming? What is going on? After five years of marriage and the first time hearing the good news of becoming a father, suddenly the same news turned into bad news.A few minutes later, my phone rang. “Who called me?” I looked at the screen and I couldn't recognize the number. I don't have such a number in my contact.“Hello, Mr. Donald.” The strange person said, and I wondered whose voice is this.“Who is on the line please?” I asked, droopy my body.“Good day, Mr. Donald.” She said and her voice this time sounded a bit familiar.“I'm Mrs. Thompson Ronald.” She continued.“I'm calling you to plead on behalf of my husband.”“Please forgive him, he won't try it again.” She
Donald's POV“What?” I kept staring like I've seen a ghost.“Who is this?” I kept pondering, my eyes still on the road. I had to stop the car to avoid an accident. Looking in her direction.“Is that not Evelyn?” I asked myself. I didn't know when she disappeared. Likewise, I couldn't see where she went. Is it just a resemblance or her twin? I was lost in thought as I stepped out of my car. I kept looking to see if I could see her again, but I couldn't. Not only that, but I got tired and entered my car and drove home to meet my love.At my residence, the butler came out of the house, “Welcome sir!”I kept quiet and refused to respond. “Is Rosa around?” I asked.“Yes sir!” He replied, his head bowed.Getting to her room, she watched me from the corner where she sat. She looked different, no welcome and no hug. “Are you okay?” I asked, my jaw slacked.“I'm feeling somehow.” She replied, touching her stomach, and her face squeezed.“Let's go to the hospital right away.” I carried her like
Donald's POVI scrunched up my face immediately, and I heard her voice. Who invited her over? My stepmom interrupted the silent room. My dad faked a smile, I know him too well. He doesn't like someone interrupting him when having an important discussion.“Who is the person you want to arrest?” She muttered again, her eyes glinted and her arms on her waist.“You are supposed to be in the kitchen preparing my meal and not here, please.” My dad replied calmly.Her face twisted, and she still insisted, “Don't we have a cook?”“The cook is preparing your meal.” She answered harshly.My dad stood up and turned to her, “Since you want to be everywhere, is Thompson.”He replied, sat down, and he sniffed.“Which Thompson?” She inquired, her nose flared.“Your brother-in-law. Thompson Ronald of course.” He said loudly.She scowled and sat down, still staring at my dad. She is not even having that surprise look. Not even a flinch. I was furious, what kind of woman is this?“What? Why him? What h
Donald's POVRosa continued, “To top it all, the link to the attempt is from his device. The IP was concealed, but Caleb was able to locate it and opened it. He can't hide it.”Oh my God, how can my uncle be this wicked? He has been the nicest of all in this company. Was he manipulated? I thought. My finger tapping my table.“No!” I shouted, stabbing with my finger. “Uncle……!”Caleb letting out a considerable breath, his eyes shrugging. “Rosa, he is not alone.” He interrupted.“I knew it” Clasping my hands behind my body, our eyes met each other.Caleb and Rosa muted, I kept staring at them. He opened another file. My eyes glazed at the screen. A video clip played immediately. Showing CCTV footage of four days ago. It showed my uncle entering the server room after the working hour.A lady was right behind him.My eyebrows lowered as cold ran through my spine.Rosa zoomed the footage, the image of the lady behind him was visible enough.“Who is the person?” I inquired. My head tilted.
Donald's POVMy chest tightened, my head aches. Who could have invaded my company's IP. This is ridiculous. Rosa was busy tapping on the keyboard without looking at me. The seriousness in her showed it was terrible. The silent atmosphere in my office aroused more panic.“Rosa, how is it?” I inquired curiously. My throat is stiff like something blocked it. She could barely hear me clearly. She muted and didn't respond. I couldn't pretend any longer I went closer to her. She felt my presence and shook her body, she looked me straight in my eyes, but her expressions were not understanding.“Babe, you can't imagine. This is serious.” She muttered. Her eyes widened.The look on her face got me scared. “You mean!” I echoed sharply, tapping my table.“Is an insider!” She yelled.“What? An insider?” My head wrinkled, my jaw opened wide.“Who?” My voice tensed, leaning forward and my arms wrapped around me.Rosa's expression looked dull, her lips opened a little. She raised her brows. “I can't
Donald's POV“Hello boss!” She yelled, her voice shaking. What's going on? Why is your voice shaking? What happened? I thought deeply while responding to her.“The account manager just called me.” She replied, panting heavily.“So, what did he say?” I wondered what the situation might be.“He said that someone hacked into the company's account.” She replied, her breathing was still rapid as I could hear it from the phone.“What! How! What do you mean by someone hacking into the company's account, I hope this is some sort of joke.” I yelled, my fist shaking as my face turned red.“No, this isn't a joke, sir. The account manager said sums of money are rushing out of the account, and he can't stop it.” She said quickly.“How would such a thing happen? What do I pay you guys for? To lose a massive sum of money?” I roared furiously, this was really frustrating.“What happened dear?” I hear Rosa say.“Donald, you're not saying anything.” She said, frowning, I'm sure she could see the anger
Donald's POVWork was really hectic today, so much papers to sign, meetings to attend and decision-making to do, I'm so stressed up and really need to shower immediately.I felt disgusting and reeked off sweat too, the cool bath was nice. I laid in the bathtub letting the chill water sip into my bones as it eased the earlier stress I had.The scent of the soap and hair conditioner I applied was really spectacular, I felt really freshen. These products Rosa ordered newly are better than the ones the housekeeper has been ordering lately.I finished taking my bath, I decided to put on a shirt and shorts, waiting for Rosa as I thought by now she should be done with whatever conservation she and Lillian had.A minute later, she walked in majestically with an infectious smile making me look at her as she made her way to the bed.“Hey babe.” She said leaning on my body making warmth all over my body, peace came to my mind the moment our body touched.She was always needed at all times, her p
Rosa’s POVOn the plane back home, I watched the sky bright with the sun radiating, casting a gentle glow on my face as thought of the question Dad asked: Who could be the person who knows about your origin?Why would the person inform me by sending someone to strangle me? How can I find this person, there's more to this?The most shocking fact is that the mugger was right, so I was adopted, dad and mom are not my real parents it's really difficult to believe.So who are my real parents? I pondered.As the plane soar through the sky, I closed tightly and then exhaled to calm myself down.“Get me a glass of cold water.” I commanded the servant nearby.“Yes, ma'am, I'll go right away.” She said with a curtsy and left.Currently, I think what I need is something cold to cool me down.She came back with a tray in her hands.“Ma'am, here is your water. The pilot asked me to inform you that we'll be landing soon.”“Okay then, you can leave.” I responded and starting drinking the water.Abou
