Rosa's POV

As I stood in front of my big mansion, I took a deep breath and allowed the cool evening air to brush against my face. As the sun's golden rays reflected off the glass windows, my silk scarf fluttered in the wind, glistening like liquid gold. Well, there were many exotic cars at the driveway, all of them were expensive cars. My eyes kept on the brand-new Maybach, which was Donald's most recent gift to me after the honeymoon.

I whispered to myself, I am so fortunate to have a husband like Donald, and a smile slowly appeared on my lips.

As I walked down the marble stairs, I took in the beauty all around. Everything was perfect, from the manicured lawns to the faint scent of roses in the garden. My phone vibrated in my pocket just as I reached the final step. I pulled it out and frowned at the screen. Lilian? We had just spoken a short while ago.

    Rosa's POV“Who is calling my name?” I tilted my body toward the direction I heard my name. The voice sent a shiver down my bone marrow. That person knows me. I turned around, viewing people's faces, but couldn't recognize anyone nor see anyone calling my name. “I am late; properly is a coincidence.” I said to myself, forcing a fake smile as the hostess directed me towards the path to my flight.As I entered the plane, I sat comfortably beside the window. Trying to settle down, I breathe in and out and relax my back. The pilot hadn't arrived yet; my phone was still on. It wasn't yet in the plane mood; I heard a buzz. A message beeped. “You got the package, right?” I gazed at my phone like I just saw a ghost.I was wondering who could have sent this message. Could it be the package Donald received on behalf of me? Which kind of package is this again? My head ached, and my stomach hurt. ‘Rosa, just have to be strong.” I said to myself. Cleaning the tears streaming down my face.One of t

    Rosa's POV“Donald locked his room.” I whispered to myself. Without hesitation, I turned back to meet him. I sighed heavily.“Babe, can you give me your key, please?” He heard me but pretended as if I was speaking a strange language. He gave me a smile that wavered, gazed ping-pongingly, and avoided direct eye contact.“Babe!” I called out louder this time and felt tightness in my chest.“I'm coming.” He replied and continued with his sister. “That was rude.” I echoed. They both stared at me, their brows widened.That same naughty girl Donald has been complaining about. What could they be discussing? When did these two become so close to each other like this? I stood there watching them talking and laughing at each other.“Bullshit!” I yelled again, and he heard me louder. Do I really care?As I was going inside the study, he ran after me. “What's the matter with you?” He glared, “What?” I replied sarcastically.“You are my problem, Donald.”“What?” He answered.“What is the meaning o

    Chapter Sixty Three:Rosa's POV “What happened?” I asked Gwen; her face clinched. “Ma'am, I mistakenly stumbled on the hot water.” Tears fell down her cheeks as she was saying it.“Ahhh!” I yelled, running towards her. Trying to pinpoint what could have led to this. Then I said, “Sorry!” “Please, get me a first aid kit.” I told the other housemaid.“Yes ma'am.” She responded and ran to get the first aid kit.“I hope it didn't touch delicate parts of your body.”“No, ma'am”. She continued.“I was trying to get this bowl, then suddenly hot water poured on me.” A few moments later, the other janitor arrived with a kit. “This is it, ma'am.” “Alright, drop it immediately before blisters start pumping out of those parts the hot water touches.”“Ma'am, should I take care of it?” The other janitor asked. “No, don't worry.

After all he had done.Picking up his calls will only bring back unhealed wounds. I don't think I should allow him to get me like the other time. I can't betray my husband and his family. What does he want from me? If Donald finds out about his frequent calls, he won't believe me. I need to be careful. Rubbing my neck as my body tensed.“Beep!” My phone vibrated; who sent a voicemail? Without hesitation, my head lowered to check since I was still holding the phone. “Mr. Thompson again?” I yelled, but not too loud. I don't want that nurse to come and disturb me. My head ached badly, my hands on my head. The voicemail said: “Rosa, it is unclear to me why you are not picking calls but your father is not your father. We need to talk. Thompson.” “What?” Widening my eyes, a sudden coldness hit at my core.“What the

Looking at my time, it's getting late.
