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 opened, a strong cologne hit his nose at that stance. Roman, needed no one to tell him it was his secretary, she only uses such annoying cologne everytime. "What is it, Tracy?" He asked, however, it came out as a groan which only meant he wished to be left alone and not to be interrupted. "Sir!" Tracy bowed in esteem, her right arm clutched two pile of blue files protectively. She's a pretty blonde in her twenties, she wore a raven black shirt which got to her knees. Then, a white silk long sleeve which fitted her perfectly well. However, if one should take a close look on her, they'd snatch a glint that the heavy makeup she wear on we're a defense to her beauty. "Sir William, is here to see you," she reported professionally. Her brown eyes ogling at the handsome features of her boss who's face was lightened up by the computer fluorescent glows. "Okay, send him in," Roman muttered casually but to her sole hearing. "O-oh, okay sir," Tracy nervously shutters, her legs spins as they advances towards the door as she left the office. "Hmm!" Rowan signed, his quickly shifting to his wrist as he elbowed his arm. "7: 49 pm, says the clock," he muttered again. Abruptly, he sprang out of the chair as if his butt got burnt from the seat textures. His legs changing positions towards the window and at that the same juncture, Tracy came in with his best friend -Williams. "Sir, he's here," Tracy instantaneously informed as William moves towards his friend. "Hey! Dude!" William hailed. "You may leave, Tracy. Its getting late already, you can go home now," Roman instructs, unintentionally ignoring his friend greetings. "Thank you, sir!" Tracy beamed happily, without any forth delay, she left while the both men took over the office. "You didn't tell you were coming," Roman said, veering around to confront his friend who halted on his track, and then scoffed audibly. "Like seriously? Call? When I know your not gonna pick up," William told and Roman signed. "I'm sorry," he apologised genuinely, the apologies weren't necessary but he felt like apologizing. Ever since Eva left him, his best friend had being beside him. He had solely took great care of his kids while he toil around for greener pasture. And now things are well for him; he's got little period to spend times with his childhood buddy. That's bad, it makes him feel ungrateful even when his best friend sees it as nothing. William; indeed is a good friend, a significant part in his life. "Please take a seat," he offered politely, his manly hand motioning at the seat opposite his. "Oh, please, don't make me feel like an old man," William joked, his legs cat walking to the seat and his comment stimulated Roman to chuckle as he joined him. "Hope my kids are great? Oh my, I have missed them so much! I'm sure they'd be bored right now, it's all my fault, I haven't gotten enough time to spend with them," William grouse, his left left crossed over the other as he sulk his lips. Rowan chuckle again. "You don't have to worry, I already gotten a baby sitter hireling for them," he disclosed. "Really?!" William asked, surprisingly. He knew how the kids had dismissed the previous workers. Roman nods in confirmation. " Yeah!" "Wow! That's good, I'm glad, they must love her a lot. I can't wait to see her," William said, his face smiling sheepishly but then, Roman rolled his eyes at his girly melodramas. "Whatever," he mumbled. "So, uhh... Why don't we go have a drink, huh? It's being a while and we a lot to catch up with," William told and Roman flickers his brows at him."Alright," he nods and stood to his feet likewise his William instantaneously.
Quickly, he snatched his cellphone and left his office while his best friend trails behind him. Within a few minutes, both men got to the parking a lot. William did the driving after Roman had signaled his driver to go home with his car. Along the highway, William drove, the scenery in the car was reserved and tranquil as the outcries of the cars in the highway could be heard. "Eva, came back," Roman broke the silence. "What?!" William exclaimed shockingly. "Speak of a witch, she is. How come I didn't know of this, huh? She's nut," he cussed angrily, his fist spanking the steering. "I don't know what she wants, although she said she wants the kids back. But then, you don't expect me to hand over my kids to her, never. Not after what she did to me, to us. And right now, I can vividly sense it that she's up to no good," Roman told and William scoffed, his head held forward as he struggled to concentrate on his driving. "Like seriously?" William frowned, his head tilts at Roman before quickly looked ahead again. "Really. To be sincere, I don't know what to do. I simply don't want troubles with her or anyone, I already have enough. I'm barely picking up the pieces of my life and right now, she wants to crack the little I could master up," Roman expressed, his head rested on the headboard as he shuts his eyes. "She's a vicious woman, you've got to be careful, okay?" William told and Roman nods, his eyes still closed and then, they got to a bar. William got down and Roman did likewise as they both strides to the door. However, William halted when his phone abruptly rang up. Shoving his phone out, he glance at the screen and saw a notification instead. "Oh, no," he mumbled, sadly. "Huh? What's wrong?" Roman asked curiously, yet concerned? "I'm sorry Roman, do you think you can pass here alone? I have to pick up my girlfriend at the airport, she just arrived," William told remorsefully. Roman chuckled grimly. "It's fine," he replied and William nods, he shook Romans arm before departing while Roman heads into the bar. Thankfully, the weren't any a glint soul in the picture, only the bartenders and the flashing lights were in exhibition. Shortly, Roman was already seated as he was being served a bottle of vodka which he had ordered. The male bartender left the spot while he wallow in deep emotions with his drink. Momentarily, a young pretty blonde walked into the bar. She wore a skimpy pink gown which barely conceal her desirable thighs. Her hand clutched her purse as she advances towards Roman.Meanwhile, Roman's scrutinising eyes were on the young lady coming his way. He knew her, definitely. She looks familiar, but where?
Wait a second! Now he recollects her, she was the lady he had accidentally knocked down that night.
No way.
"Hey!" She quickly waved her hand while situating her butt on the seat opposite his."It would be nice if you ask for permission first," he replied instead and she giggled girlishly. "I thought that wasn't important," she replied. "It... It's is," he tells and she nods. "Well," she signed afterwards. "My name is Carmen Martinez," she introduced, her hand timely putting forward for an handshake. However, Roman didn't reciprocate just immediately. "I won't accept that kind gesture," he told. "Why? I don't bite, do I?" She shrugged, her hand nevertheless, putting forward. "I didn't say you do, I just won't accept it until you tell me why you ran away that day without a word," Roman said, his hand lowers the crystal glass on the table. "You have quite a good memory, I thought you wouldn't recognise me," she smiled, retrieving her hand back to herself. "If I didn't recognise you, I won't let you seat with me," he revealed, his ocean blue eyes narrowed at her and he could swore she was marveled. "I see, well I'm sorry about that," she told, and then, standing up on her feet."Your welcome, and I apologise about the accident, I'm truly pleased your good and didn't sustain much injuries," he told, his eyes scanning every inch of her body for any red bruises. Carmel smirked mischievously. "It's fine, anyway." She told, she insert her finger into her bra seductive as she plucks out a red card and placed it in front him. "That's my card," she told, watching him keenly as he takes it and prowls his eyes on it's veneers and writings. "You're a model, interesting," he stifled a smile, he looks up to her again. "Let's call it a night," she said rather. Nodding scantily and then, she veered around as she walks away, her butt swaying sideways while Roman glued his eyes on them. "What a night," he murmured, gazing back at her card.****************************
It was pure night already, and Rowan wasn't back yet. Rose was worried and she had to leave for her home early before it gets late, the kids had just finished their meals and they seated in the living room with her. "You look troubled, Aunty Rose," Christine piped, her voice carries an evidence of concern. "I'm fine, sweetheart, don't worried about me," Rose smiled. However, the kids could tell it wasn't genuine. "You sure?" Christopher asked this time, he cute green eyes piercing at her. "I am," she nods. "So, tell me, how was school today?" She asked. Christine sullen her lips and Christopher scoffed aloud. "It was good but Christopher made it a hell for me, he pulled my hair!" Christine cried out, moving away a bit from the couch as she crumpled her small arms to her chest. "What?!" Rose shrieked. "Why Christopher?!" She asked further, she was shocked as well because she knew how much he cherish his twin sister. "Aunty, she started it. She's being childish this days and she needs to learn," he replied to her. "Apologize" was all Rose could say. "What?! Aunty she should be apologizing and not me," he told, he threw Christine a dead glare of which she snapped her head to the TV away from his sight. "Now, Christopher," Rose demanded and Christopher heaved in defeat. "I'm sorry... Christine," he grumbled, his eyes grew dark as bitterness ate him up heavily. He hated been blamed anytime he considered himself right. Rose noticed his appearance, she swiveled her eyeballs at his reactions and then, she ruffled his hair fondly and that works; it soothed him as his hoisted shoulders slumped down. "Christine is your sister, you twin sister. You don't have to get mad at her no matter what she does, she loves you a lot and I'm certain you do too. Never let your emotions overtakes your soul, your more than that. Do you wanna see her hurting? Do you wanna make her feel unloved?" She asked and slowly, he slowly wavered his head sideways."Good, I'm sure you wouldn't want that no matter how you try to hide the fact that you weren't affected. And besides, how would you want your daddy to feel, huh? He'd be totally disappointed. So please, next time, don't fight with her, okay? If she does anything wrong, you come talk to me or you talk to daddy, okay? We are both here to listen to you," she told and Christopher nods.
"I'm sorry, Aunty," he apologizes again. "Its fine my love, and that goes the same for you, Christine," she tells, snapping her head at the kid who withheld her hardened expressionWhat a feisty girl she's gonna be. "Yes, Aunty Rose," Christine mumbled. And Roses to peck hair while she does the same to Christopher. "That's touching," They heard a knowledgeable voice and they all snapped their head at the door. "Daddy!" Both of the kids screamed happily, sailing out of the couch to run up to him while Rose exhaled deeply in relief as she stood to pick up her bag from the table. "I missed you both," Roman said as he leaned down to kiss up their cheeks and they reciprocated to his. "Why don't you both run up to your room, I will be with you shortly," he told them and they nodded. Running up to their room after they bade Rose welfare. Roman straightened up as he took his eyes to Rose who was advancing his way nervously and halted in front of him. "Thank you for staying with the kids," he said gratefully. "It's fine, it's my duty anyway," she said, picking on her fingers as she crack her eyes away from his captivating orbs. Unexpectedly, her heart began palpitating as her hand become sweaty. A cold sensation engulfs the scenery as both souls stood opposite each other. "Why isn't he saying anything?" She thought mentally, gulping down dryly as she felt his hot gazed on her. Meanwhile, Roman was mesmerised by her looks again, his eyes slowly moves down to her small pinkish lips as she bites it softly. That intensely stimulated his immune as he took a step forward to her. He couldn't tell if it was the effect on the alcohol on him or its just his self doings. Nonetheless, Rose took a step and a step back till her back collided with the wall and Roman stood near to her. She closes her eyes, her body visibly shuddering as she felt as if his body is emitting a fiery flames to her. She felt as if she'd go insane any moment. What was her boss doing? Unexpectedly, Roman cup her jawline with his right fingers, brushing them softly as if checking out their refined surface while his head was leaning down to hers. "Don't fucking tell me, he's gonna kiss me!!" Rose screams mentally, her body vibrated helplessly as she felt him leaning closer in one second after second. Her heart beating rapidly more than usual.Oh no.
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
"Rose! Why did you scream that way?!" David asked, confusingly and worriedly as he stood in front of her and his hands gripping her shoulders to shake her off her trepidation. "D-david?!" Rose cried shockingly on seeing, hurriedly she hugged him as if he would disappear any moment from her sight. David was disturbed about everything, he hugged her back softly before pulling away from her. Slowly, he lifted her chin with his finger. "Why are you looking this way? Did anyone hurt you?" He asked, curiously and Rose wavered her head aside. "No, I didn't.. It's just that, I saw a text," she was explaining, quickly she bent down to the floor to pick up her phone as she scroll through her message but couldn't find any thing. "H-how is this possible?!" She muttered, gawking speechlessly while David signed deeply in what seems to be a relief. "Can you tell me what the hell happened?!" He asked again, still worried on seeing the her raw tears again. "N-nothing, don't worry," Rose shutter
