It was a bright new morning, the sun rays shone remarkably across the city. A few souls could be seen bustling up here and there with their normal activities for the day.
Meanwhile, Rose was just waking up from her deep slumber. It was precisely a courteous monday, which only means she's gonna be starting her new job today.
After the dinner on saturday night with David's parent, she had ran back home out of raw emotions and solely isolated herself inside the room. Even the gracious sunday was not left out; she had stayed up all the whole day inside the room. Declining to open up the door for David when he had run all the way to her room door, knocking and pleading severally to her and wishing to see her face. Truth to be told, she was sad, aggravated and disgruntled. She hadn't expected his parent to speak to her in such manner, that was -unethical. But then, David is not to be blame, he's not. He wasn't in support of his parent actions and had ran after her like a lost hare. Unhurriedly, a sign flees from Rose's lips as she sat up on the bed. Her hairs were dishevelled as they popped up while she rested her head on the silver headboard. Somehow, the thoughts of leaving the room stimulated her to feel extremely uncomfortable, she doesn't want to leave the room just yet. However, she couldn't take the slight risk of losing her new job for anything. Certainly, the kids would be lingering patiently for her presence. Without any forethought, Rose sailed out of bed and strode to the bathroom. She further discarded her clothes in a jiffy, her hands working up to her hair as she compressed them in a hairy bun and then, she moved down to the shower to have a cold bath. "Hmm..." She heaved deeply for the umpteenth time, her hands rested on the wall as the water cascaded freely down her body.She found herself strangely weakened and depleted, probably from the burdens of cries and reflections. "Sweetheart, please open the door, huh? I'm sorry, baby! I'm truly sorry," David had beseeched deeply. "Go away, David! I don't wanna see your face in here! Go away!" She had screamed back at him, hiccuping and choking on her words as she cried heavily into her pillows. It hasn't being easy for her, she was hurt mentally. A few minutes later, while in the amidst of her self thinking, Rose's belly grumbles angrily, inflicting her to feel a few stings down her abdomen. It reminded her the fact that she hasn't taken a grub for the past day. Rose appears less concern about it, it wasn't her problem but then, it was her stomach problem. Promptly, Rose was done showering as she stepped out of the bathroom. Her grey orbs drifting off to the huge wall clock on the table... 7: 51pm! "Shit!" She cussed, she's likely to get late to work on her first day and that's not a good start to being with. Quickly, Rose slapdash to the dressing mirror. Her r hand hastily snatched her deodorant which she applied to her flawless body. Instantly, her legs worked on their own as she hurried to the wardrobe and pulled out a black gown which jingled her legs all the way in and then, grabbed hold of black flat shoes and slipped into it. She went back to the dressing mirror and check out her pleasant self, the black gown hugged her body so tightly. Revealing her curves dangerously while she donned her hairy bun hair into a neat ponytail. Without any delay, she grabbed her white handbag and left the room in a hurry. "Rose, sweetheart!" David called, his eyes on his girlfriend as he saw her descending the stairs and then, she took the last tread and got to him as they both locked eyes. Rose was tight-lipped on seeing the state of which her boyfriend was in, he looked rough and his ragged. His eyes were extremely dark and swollen which indicated he has cried. "I'm sorry, baby, I'm sorry," David muttered guiltily, his head lowering to the floors in remorse. "It's fine, I'm not angry," she said, taking a step towards him and hugged him tightly. "It's fine, darling," she mumbled softly. Her lone sayings took David surprisingly, he wasn't expecting her immediate forgiveness. He was greatly touched, he felt like crying but he held it all in. He was actually scared, scared of losing his only beloved. A woman he couldn't do without with. "I have to go now, I'm running late for work," she said, disengaging from the hug. David twitched his lips verges, he was obviously sad she had to pull away too soon. But then, she was right, she had to leave for work. "Wont you wait for a little while? Remember, you haven't eaten for a day now," he reminded worriedly. "I'm not hungry baby, I will pass," she replied delicately but he wasn't convinced. "I'm worried about you baby, you might get sick, huh?" He naturally told and that earned to her to chuckle to his remark. She knew he was simply troubled about her. "I don't easily get sick, baby. And besides, I can't fall sick just because I didn't eat for a day, huh? Come on, I'm leaving already, I love you sweetie!" She confessed, pecking his cheeks lovingly. "I love you more," David mumbled back, in defeat. Sweetly, he pecks her lips instead before she left the living room. Rose felt a bit relived, she doesn't know why but that's how she felt as she got to the roadside.Fortunately enough, she saw a yellow painted cab racing speedily towards her way as it suddenly slows down and stopped right in front of her when she flapped her hands at it. "Good morning, ma'am!" The driver greeted politely, his head ducking aside to get a proper view of her. "Good morning, sir!" Rose replied to his unblemished greetings. She hauled him a soft smiles at him as she promptly pulled the cab door and went in, before the driver took off to her foreseen destination.★
It was approximately twenty minutes when Rose arrived at Rowan's mansion, she hastily paid the cab driver and hurried inside the vast yard of the mansion.
Thankfully, the securities freely let her in without questioning her presence or something. Her gray eyes landed on the kids when she had took the bridle side of the compound. They were standing close to the white sparkling car which a few guards stood beside them, they were both dressed in their sky blue uniforms and in their hands, they held their lunchbox. "Aunty Rose!" Christen cried out happily on catching a glimpse of her entering striding closer to them. "Yepieeee!!" Christopher exclaimed on seeing her too, both of the kids excitedly race down to her and engulfed her into a warm hug. "Oh, my babies!! I missed you both," Rose pouted childishly, her knees crouching on the grounds as she peck both of their cheeks which elicited a playful giggle from them. "How are you both doing?" She further asked. "We are fine!" They both chorus in immense euphoria. "Huh, kids? Where's your dad?" She asked then, her eyes scanning around curiously in search of her boss. Her heart was whacking vigorously at that moment as she felt intensely nervous. "He's gone to the office, he asked us to wait for you, so you could take us to school," Christine replied and Rose nodded in relaxation as she bite her lips into her mouth. "Speak for yourself," Christopher snapped annoyingly at his kid sister.Rose frowned at his remark, she was baffled as she thought, why his sudden mood swing? "What's wrong kid?" She asked in concern, kicking off the thoughts of her boss as she rested her narrowing thick lashes at him. Nonetheless, Christen and Christopher kept coldly mute to her query and that made her a kind of uncomfortable likewise curious as to what's wrong with them.Something is definitely wrong somewhere. "Aunty Rose, let's go already or we gonna be unpunctual for school," Christine gruffly muttered.*********************** Somewhere across the city, Eva could be seen crouching on a love shape sofa in her apartment. Presently, she clenched a stick of brown painted cigarette between her thumbs before penetrating it into her lips and then, pulled quiet an amount of fog into her mouth. Through her current mood, you could tell she wasn't in a good state. Originally, she was extremely angry, frustrated and discontented. She needs to get back her ex husband - Rowan. Nonetheless, she want her kids back too, yes she wants them and there's a slight chance she'd be getting back into the marriage track with Rowan. The kids are involved in this, they are her only kids into earning him. To be honest, Rowan is extraordinarily handsome now and extremely vibrant. He's got the fame and everything a woman would want in a man. Not like she he wasn't like when they had gotten married, in fact a lot of women were envious and jealous of her. But then, something occurred and she had to leave him, for good. However, she still finds it to believe he'd be richly plentiful after everything that has happened to him. Oh God! She shouldn't have left but then; it wasn't her fault."You don't expect me to ditch a notable, popular rock-star for my underprivileged, impoverished and necesstious husband!" She growls, her expression hardened as she recalled her past life, the past years. To be truthful, Rowan had truly loved her. He gave her everything she have ever wished for! Everything her heart desires, he stood besides her to the core and lived never to see her get hurt. But yet, she speculate that; any other women out there would have done the unruly action she had took when she left him to his fate. To be candid; she solely took interest in Rowan in the initial spot because he's was the first son of the Hendricks and by rights; he's deemed to be the successor of his wealth. However, out of blues he was kind cut off for an intention she doesn't seem to know of. Likely to be a family catastrophe... So then, she had to make a run off with her horse, she couldn't keep up in loitering for him to bounce back. "Rowan..." Eva mumbled, her eyes shutting down as she pictured his heavenly face in her head but someone else got into the picture. - Xavier Liam, her ex boyfriend and the man she ditched her husband for. "Xavier has neglected me, he's has solitary failed me, that pretentious bastard," she thundered, standing swiftly to her feet as her eyes grew evilly gloomy. "After abandoning my husband just to be with him, he cheated on me and fetched in another woman," she grumbles, her left hand fisting tightly as she made to punch the nearest war but abruptly halted. As is if that wasn't enough, he elope with his new fish after ordering his shields to thrash her out recklessly like a debris out of his mansion. She, Eva Marshall -she was big dummy. Xavier has succeed in making her a laughing-stock and she promise him one thing, he will live to regret this betrayal. He will breathe to wish undone ever coming across her.
"Well," Eva pulls away from the wall and slumped back to the sofa. "I don't actually don't have his time now; I'm more concerned about earning my sinfully handsome, affluent, knockout ex-husband,"
She chuckled on recalling her plans, it's a secret which she had undertook and no one will ever have an idea about it. "Rowan, watch your back," she smirked. "I just have to be spunky about this aim of mine," she added forthwith, strutting from the coach. "I have made the first step, and now the second step is about roll in... I'm not someone to be mess with, Rowan should know that by now," she chuckled, her legs walking around the mini crystal table. Slowly, she seized one final haul from the cigarette before plunging the remnant to the floor. Instantly, she render usage of her foots to mashed it as she explode the huge smoke into the air. "Watch your back, my Romeo... You don't know what's coming your way, my dear," she giggled wickedly, a dark sinister laughter erupted boisterously as she held her chest. "It's more like; using two stones to kill one bird. Let the game begin..."The tiring day kicked out to be a hell of a hectic one for Roman. Right after he had left home for his office, he had wanted to hand over his kids into the safe hands of Rose. But then, he didn't get to meet her. He had wanted to wait for her arrival in the morning. However, works calls for his urgent presence so he had to leave as soon as possible. Presently, Roman could be seen seating on his black coated swiveling chair. Clicking sounds of keyboards could be heard as the workaholic man was busily thumping his bare fingers on the keyboard as his dark eyes stuck on the face of the computer. He was struggling to round up his labors for the day so he had to make certain everything was set before he leaves for his home. Suddenly, a soft knock came twice on the door. He paused, his eyes flickering to the door as a a cold silence engulf the scenery. "Come in!" He finally let out, his eyes moving back to the computer in front of him as he resumed his typing. The door of his office o
Rose had no choice than to snap her eyes open but slowly, her grey orbs pulls down to glance at Roman who kept peering at her lips as if he was just seeing them for the first time. Before she could say a word to him, he fell down horribly to the floors dead drunken. He gave a low growl as he laid flat on the frigid marble tiles.However, at that stance, Rose knew he wasn't in his right sense. He's intoxicated and the drink were taking possession of his essence, rendering him into doing something oblivious. "Oh, shit!" Rose cussed, ruffling her hair as she threw her purse away to wherever they fell off to as she knelt down beside him to help him up to his feet. However, Roman dozed off already. "Okay, I think this is part I call on the securities to help," she muttered, scratching her hair vigorously as she looked down to him - to his face. His eyes were closed as his thick black lashes hugged concurrently, his perfect facial appeared so heavenly and godly. However,, she could disc
Along the highway, Rose could be seen inside the car alongside the kids as Jason drives them to school. The sensation was reserved, Christine clogged into Rose's arms while Christopher rested his head on her shoulder. Anyone who takes a note of their sight would think she's their mother. Meanwhile, Rose was mentally alone with her thoughts. Her eyes watched the numerous cars but her mind wasn't interested in them as she was more focused on her boss -Roman. She doesn't know why but anytime he looks at her, she felt nervous and uneasy even when she struggles not to show it. To be sincere for once in her lifetime, she hasn't felt this way towards a man. Not even David, her boyfriend. Something wasn't right, she just couldn't wrap her fingers around it. However, whatever it was, she'd figure out it soon. Momentarily, they arrived at the school and Jason drove directly into the school yard. Other kids could be seen as they dressed in the same school uniforms as the kids; sky blue clo
Meanwhile, Roman and Carmen were still inside talking in the restaurant. "I have to leave now," Roman said while adjusting his suit."Why? You just got here." She sounded disappointed."I am so sorry, but as a father and a businessman my schedule is quite tight." He said to Carmen trying to sound nice."Don't you have someone taking care of your kids?" "Of course I do." Roman nods in assertion. Carmen heaved in defeat, she realized Roman wasn't going to change his mind about leaving."When can we meet again?" She asks him."I'll have to check my schedule first." He said to her while standing up from his seat."So....." She looked at him waiting for his reply."Don't worry I'll call you." He said to her with a smile."It's nice to finally speak to you, but I hope next time we'll have enough time to talk." She stretches her hand out.He places him on her hand as well. "I hope so too." They both shook hands for a while staring at each other before they finally released their hands.C
Roman instantly hang up the call, he was not ready to listen further as he prepared to leave the room. "Sir what is going on? What happened to the kids?" Rose asked frantically, her eyes held so much worried and fears. Roman couldn't reply to her questions as his head was in disarray. "Follow me!" These were the only words he was able to say to her and without hestitating, they both rushed out of the room and hurried downstairs.When they got outside, Jason was preparing to leave the mansion. However, Roman stopped him instantly."Jason, the keys!" He growls at him as he strides to the car, Rose paces behind him. Meanwhile, Jason stopped walking and turned back upon hearing his boss orders. "Let me drive sir, you hate driving, I can take you to wherever you want to go," he said but Roman looked extremely impatient as rushed inside the car and this made Jason gape confusingly if everything is okay."Jason, give me the keys!" Roman growls this time, and Immediately Jason handed the
have told you to always talk to me more nicely." Eva said, walking comfortably into the sitting room and she sat down on the expensive silk sofa like gentle lady. "You bitch!" Roman growls, moving towards her angrily but Williams hurriedly stopped him.Meanwhile, Rose still stood startled at the scenery as she held the door, she eventually shut the door and walked closer to them. And when Eva noticed her again, the only thing she felt towards her was raw hatred."Who is she?" Eva asks Roman, still staring at Rose irritatingly."That does not an answer to my question, why are you here?" Roman asks instead, he angrily ruffled his hair. "At least offer me a glass of water." Eva muttered with an eye roll, she crossed her leg over the other as she watched the folks gawk at her spitefully. And when she noticed the atmosphere was a bit too tense, she decided to spill the tale. "I want us to make a deal." She said this time with an obvious frown."A deal? To who?" Williams asks her before
the kids and their father sat at the dining, Rose quickly went into the kitchen to prepare the kids favorite."Dude, I have to leave now," Williams said and Roman sprang to his feet. "You leaving so suddenly?" Roman asked, he got to Williams and they both walked to the living room. "Yes, dude. I have a lot to do, that's why," Williams explained and Roman nods. "Bye uncle!!" Christopher and Christine said in unison, waving their hands at him and William smiled as he blew an invisible kiss to them instead. Roman chuckled as he watched them, then he turned to his best friend. "I will walk you to the car," he offered. "Alright!" William replied and they both walked out of the mansion. They both got to Williams car and he stepped inside, while Roman simply stood as he watched his best friend zoomed out of his yard. The cold breezes whack across his face, and he breathes in appreciatingly as he strode back to the house to join his kids at the dining. "Why did you two agree to go wit
“I'll be leaving now sir!" Rose was saying as she got to the living room, her face. However, she sounded like she was in rush of which was. She's nervous about David, surely her boyfriend would be deeply worried about her and its getting late already. "You'll be here tomorrow?" Roman finally asks when he noticed he has been gawking at her for to long. "Yes sir!" Rose replied, she seemed surprised to hear the question because definitely she'll be working tomorrow."Tomorrow is Saturday, I want to take the kids out and I want you to join us?" Roman said instantly when he noticed how weird his question."O-okay sir, they'll be so happy when they hear that," Rose said and Roman nods. "I'll be on my way now, sir," She mutters, feeling nervous again as she quickly whirled to leave the house.Meanwhile, Roman stood from his spot. Silently watching her leave the house, he suddenly wished she could dwell with them, she was really a source of joy to his kids. Abruptly, Roman smacked his he
