Rosa’s POV

“He actually called me back.” I muttered, pacing Donald's room. “Why is he bothering me, Cade? I don’t think he’s being paid to turn on me, but why can’t he see things from different angles? He’s so good at analyzing business deals, yet something about this one feels… off. I can’t even verify it myself.”

As the phone buzzed in my hand, I sighed and reluctantly answered.

“Rosa, you didn’t let me finish when I called earlier. You hung up on me.” His voice held a quiet disappointment, but I could tell he was trying to stay calm.

“I’m sorry,” I lied smoothly. “I didn’t mean to hang up on you. The connection was bad, and I couldn’t hear you clearly.”

A pause. Then, he chuckled lightly. “No problem. Hey, girl, I was just teasing when I called earlier. You take things way too seriously sometimes.”

I rolled my eyes, despite myself. “You haven’t stopped with your antics, have you? Anyway, what’s the real reason you called?”

    Rosa's POV "Thank God, he was taken away; I can't imagine what would have happened to me and my son." I pondered, my mind still in chaos."Oh, Rose. I'm so grateful for your intervention. I mean, who could have thought that he was being impersonated by an old friend?" I said with all gratitude in my heart. "Dear, you don't have to worry; I've got your back." Rose replied with a friendly smile."I'm glad both you and your son are safe." Rose voiced it, but there was seriousness on her face all of a sudden."Rose, is everything alright?" I asked, my voice laced with concern. "Well, I'll say that your friend Lillian is really crafty." Rose replied with complete displeasure in her tone."What about her? What did she do?" I asked, wondering what Lillian had done."Lillian is behind the incident with Benson." Rose blurted out."Why am I not surprised? Someone I called my best friend was bold enough to sleep with my own husband." I voiced my eyes teary. I never thought my life would come

  • Selfish Desire: A Secret to Unbound.   Chapter Seventy one: His words were hot like a flame of fire.

    Rosa's POV "Rosa, I hope you won't feel bad with what I want to say." "Why?" I asked, my eyes wandering. His eyes looked weak and calm, but I can't comprehend that look. "Are you sure?" He insisted, staring at my eyes. He drew Dave closer to himself.My mind raced; this one is caring for my son like this. I was mute. "Rosa, I love you." He said sharply.I looked around; I hope no one heard that. My eyes widened. I am the wife of Donald, the CEO, the second man in city A. I have become a subject of mockery. I was being approached by an old schoolmate. This is crazy. My stomach ached immediately when I heard that. My vision blurred. I was trying to recover myself when I heard the last draw. "I have always loved you." My tummy rumbled, my eyes cleared a bit, and I turned to view him again. Although he looked elegant, he is not my kind of man."I have been looking for you. Thank God I saw you today, and I can't let you go without telling you the truth." His words were hot in my ears

  • Selfish Desire: A Secret to Unbound.   Chapter Seventy: The Stranger.

    Rosa's POV Someone was whispering to a neighbor close to her, “Do they have a kid?” The second person replied, “I don't know; I'm hearing it for the first time.” They couldn't hide their gossip. Many persons were wondering what could have happened. Phones were everywhere; Donald's guards tried to stop them from videoing. Gossips in every corner; some laughed, while some stared.Donald, why did you decide to embarrass me like this? I questioned myself; my once-loving partner looked stunning in his outfit. That can't move me anymore; all I saw was betrayal and a snake who pretends to love me. He stretched his hands towards me, and I rejected him. Yes, I didn't regret that rejection. He deserves more than that.“Babe, why are you doing this?” He pleaded, his eyebrows furrowed, his voice breaking like a crying baby.All I care about is my precious son; I ran away from Donald. David's eyes dart around with confusion.“Mom, can we go, please?” He asked with a soft tone. I hesitated for

    Rosa's POV“What?”I exclaimed, holding my mouth.“You too are not ashamed of yourselves, right?” “You even move everywhere and show your bullshit.” Lilian kept kissing my man in front of me. “Gwen, please, take David to the car.” “Well done, you are not ashamed. You have the gall to come into someone's matrimonial home, right?” “You think all your evil deeds will not be exposed.” “Don't worry, I am in for you.” “Useless friend, betrayal.” Donald is using Lilian's hair to cover his face. She didn't reply. They kept caressing themselves. Wrinkling his nose.“Lilian, don't you have anywhere to stay any longer?” “Okay, your house suddenly got burnt.” “You don't want to answer me.”“Don't worry, you will answer me soon.” As I said that, she pressed a fist against her mouth and puffed out her cheeks.“Evil person.” “Shameless people.”“Rubbish!” I left for the car, not minding what the both of them are doing. As I entered the car, David was already playing as usual with his two

    Rosa's POV“Mrs. Ronald.” Rick called from the car park. Walking towards me.“It is not safe out here.” He concluded by staring at me. Immediately he got to where I was sitting.I didn't respond to him; I was just tired of everything and everyone around me. Why me? I kept asking myself. He stood for a while and wanted to leave. “Rick,” I called.“Madam, I hope you are fine.” He asked.“I’m okay.” “Why are you calling me?” “Go inside and make yourself comfortable.” I replied, feeling reluctant to discuss. “Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you. About the womb evacuation, I discovered something strange.” “I need peace for now; I don't think I am interested any longer.” His face was pale and puffy.“Ma'am, you can't believe this.” “Okay.” I replied, facing somewhere else.“What did you discover?” my adrenaline rush at taking away another strength.“Ma'am, people are cruel,” he replied, his eyebrows furrowed.“I've always been a victim; this information will not surprise me.” I uttered and

    “Wow, thanks, madam. I do love it.” Bran's mouth lets out a smile, but his eyes are suspicious. Those eyes looked different, dull, and avoided direct eye contact. I observed his face wasn't bright when he came to pick David and me up from the airport earlier.My feelings fluttered. What's wrong with him? I had wanted to ask him, but I noticed if it was something that offended him, he would have said something. Is he hiding something from me? I don't think so; maybe it's his family issues.There was silence. “What about Gwen?” I inquired, my tone calm.“Gwen is doing fine, madam. She is at home.” He replied politely and sounded unconvinced. Before I could say anything, he left, holding his gift tightly. Other staff came out to pick up our luggage inside; I had bought a lot of gift items for my staff. They are expensive; I wanted them to feel happy. As I entered the sitting room, Gwendolyn ran to me and hugged me tightly. “Can you all wait, please?” I requested with a smile.“Yes, mada
