Nicholas stared at her without showing his excited emotions of seeing her. He couldn't stop wanting her after she left yesterday and he wanted to stop. He tried warding it off as he felt it's because she was good enough to satisfy him.
However he didn't think he would be wanting her that badly so he wanted to see her. He only told someone to do a background check on her today before leaving home in the morning. He could not stop his longing desire to be with her.He wanted more of her, he was satisfied before but he kept wanting to see her again. He usually doesn't see a girl twice and he only does this once a month. He has been getting different girls for a long time.Now he's wanting another girl that he doesn't even know what she is about? After finishing the meeting, he decided to go home and relax. On his way, his driver almost collided into another car. They both avoided each other but the other car crashed into a wall.It was a narrow road that barely has people. It contained two passing vehicles if they're careful not to run into each other. But both drivers made a mistake this time around."I'm sorry boss! I am so sorry!" The driver, Tim apologized."Stop." He ordered the driver who wanted to drive away. "Wait for five minutes, if the person doesn't come out, you can call for an ambulance.""Boss, should I just check on the other person?" His assistant Edwin asked."You should..." Nicholas wanted to say when they saw the door open.That's not what got him surprised, the person who came out is the same girl he has been trying to contact again. He smirked on seeing her come towards his car. She was bleeding, but she looked like she has enough strength.She went over to the side where Nicholas is sitting down. He is surprised that she could guess there's someone else in the car even though you can't see the inside from outside. She must be very smart.He saw her demanding he opened the door, he smirked and whined down the glass. She is shocked to see him. He didn't act like he has seen her before."Wait... You..." She wanted to say but her head hurts.Nicholas's assistant Edwin came out of the car to attend to Rose."Miss, we are sorry for the inconvenience. You both are at fault but if you want, we can settle this. We can offer you a compensation and pay for the hospital fees since you are injured." Edwin explained.However, Rose only has her eyes on one person. Why is he not looking her way? Why is he pretending not to know who she is? She is more confused if this is the same man she knows or not.This is Nicholas King. The next client she's supposed to work on. How is she supposed to do this if he's not even looking at her. There's no way she could be wrong about his face. She is good at remembering faces especially if it's just yesterday they met.But why won't he even look at her once? Could it be that he really wants nothing to do with her?"Miss! Miss are you listening?" Edwin asked confused as she didn't say anything."Excuse me? Don't you know who I am?" She turned to Nicholas with curiousity."Edwin finish this quickly and let's leave. She seems to be in a good condition so there's no need to call an ambulance." Nicholas ignored her and talked to Edwin instead.Is he really going to pretend he does not know her? How is she supposed to get closer to him if he won't even consider her once? She thought about what she can do nd finally saw she has no choice but to force her way in. At least she needs to know what kind of situation she is getting herself into."You're really going to pretend you don't know me after all we did together?" She started with her acting.Edwin is confused as he has never seen this girl around his boss before."What are you talking about miss? Did you hurt your head that much?" He asked her.She scoffed, "After what we did? We..."Edwin and the driver anticipated what she wanted to say but she didn't say anything. As blood trickled down her face, she touched it and her eyes widened on seeing it. She suddenly fainted, Edwin caught her. Another car stopped behind them.James and some men came out of the car and rushed towards them. Nicholas sneered, he didn't seem to be affected by it."What is going on here? Why did you stop..." James stopped on seeing who it is. "This woman... What is she doing here?""You know her?" Edwin questioned in confusion."Well... I only met her yesterday after..." He stopped talking when he looked at Nicholas, "What on earth happened here?""Boss what do we do? Should I take her to the hospital?" Edwin asked Nicholas.They waited for the order from Nicholas who won't stop staring at the woman's face. There's no way you won't stare at her too. She is a very beautiful woman."Take her into the car. We'll take her with us." Nicholas ordered."Yes boss!" Edwin and James said before they realized what he said, "What?""Did you not understand what I said or should I tell you what I mean?" He replied with a blank expression.They didn't need to be told twice before they quickly carried her into the other car. They helped her lock her car without searching it and took the key with them. They drove off all the way to his residence which is a very large area of land.The place is called the king's Villa. He has a very large mansion with large areas of lands, a river and many other buildings. He is considered one of the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world. Rose just doesn't know this yet.The car stopped at the garage and Nicholas came down. James and Edwin rushed to him for the next order."What should we do with her boss?" James asked him.Nicholas nodded, "Take her to the room first, then I'll think of what to do later."James and Edwin looked at each other. It's like they are hearing the wrong things from their boss because he would never do something like this."Your room? Boss are you serious with this?" James asked confused."Are you an imposter? This is definitely not our boss!" Edwin fired at Nicholas.Nicholas arched a brow, then checked the time."You have one minute to get to my room. I must not get there before you or you'll be making your last call today." Nicholas threatened them and walked away."It is really him. One minute? We're doomed!" They both rushed to get Rose out of the car and James carried her in his arms.On getting inside the main house, they took the employee elevator since there's a different one for the boss. It's a transparent elevator so they can see from the inside.They saw him going up and they wished the elevator would just move faster. They elevator finally stopped and they rushed outside and made their way towards his room. They saw Nicholas going in another direction and they quickly rushed her into the room.They laid her on the bed while she is still unconscious. They looked at each other and sighed in relief."I can't believe I almost lost my head because of her. This is the first time this is happening. Boss is bringing a woman home?" Edwin asked looking at Rose."I can't believe he met her again. I always knew there's something about her that just gives off the wrong vibes." James replied, suspiciously looking at Rose.Edwin looked at Rose, "What do you mean he met her again? Have they met before today?""She's the girl boss had yesterday... You understand."Edwin gasped, "Wait, he brought a girl like that home when he's never done that before? What do you think is going on?""Is he bewitched?" They asked each other."I wonder too." They heard a familiar voice behind them and froze.They completely forgot Nicholas would be coming into the room. They didn't realize he had been standing behind them for a while now. They both slowly turned to see the deadly expression of their boss."Boss! We..."He used the book he was holding to hit their head. "you both are stupid and can't think at all. You brought a wounded person here, shouldn't you be treating her instead of gossiping about her."They both looked at each other, "Sorry boss."They both rushed to get the first aid kit while Nicholas took a seat on the couch looking at the book he is holding. He shook his head seeing the chaotic duo and their clumsiness.They finally treated her wound and stood up waiting for the next order from their boss."Boss, what should we do next?" They asked.Nicholas gave them a glare, they looked away."You can get out of the room." He told them after a while of leaving them hanging.Edwin gasped for the umpteenth time, wondering what would happen if they left the room."Boss, you mean we should go? We should leave you alone with her in the room." James asked like an idiot.Nicholas sighed in frustration, "Then should I show you a live porn? Since you have a lot of things going on in your head.""No boss! We will leave now. Let's go James!" Edwin dragged James out of the room. They shut the door behind them.Nicholas dropped the book as soon as they left. He focused on Rose, his eyes not leaving her. He ended up smirking, amused at how she could hold it in like that."You are one amusing girl. I've never seen someone being so bold in the hands of a stranger." He said loudly for her to hear.She didn't move or blink. She seemed to be really unconscious."I know you are awake. Your eyes are twitching and so is your nose. You should do a better job at pretending. You can stop now. Open your eyes, they are gone." He said to her.Her eyes fluttered open a few seconds later. She sat up on the bed."Wow. You are incredible. Most people don't know this but you are sure smart." Rose said smiling at him.She was busted. She has been listening to everything that was happening since and tried her best not to show that she was awake. How did he know that?Don Bernardo finally arrived in Vernice City. On getting to the house, she didn't find Nicholas in the living room. It's her first time at his house in Vernice City. She decided to check him in the office. She knocked his office, then she opened the door when she heard his voice. Ellen walked into Nicholas's office, trying to put on a friendly smile despite the turmoil inside her. "Nicholas, it's been a while," she greeted, her voice sounding a little too cheerful.Nicholas looked up from his desk, surprise flickering in his eyes. "Ellen," he replied, nodding politely. "What are you doing here? You never told me you were coming.""I just wanted to surprise you. I tried calling but," Ellen replied casually. "You've been quite busy lately."Nicholas nodded, appreciating the small talk. "Yes, there's been a lot going on. But I'm managing."Ellen took a deep breath, trying to muster the courage to bring up the topic she had been avoiding for so long. "Nicholas, you told me that Rose is
In the living room, Nicholas and Kay faced each other, the tension between them palpable. Nicholas was determined to reclaim his place in Rose's life, but Kay wasn't backing down either. He needs to be sure Nicholas is not coming to hurt Rose. "Who are you to Rose?" Nicholas asked, his voice laced with a hint of aggression. "And what do you want with her?"Kay took a deep breath, his eyes meeting Nicholas's with unwavering resolve. "I've been there for her for years," he replied calmly. "I helped her when she needed support, and I stood by her side when she had to run away from everything she knew."Nicholas frowned, not liking the thought of someone else being there for Rose during their time apart. "And that message... the one about why I should forgive her, was that you?" he questioned.Kay nodded. "Yes, that was me," he admitted. "I wanted you to understand her perspective, to give her a chance to explain herself."Nicholas's jaw tightened, feeling like Kay was trying to medd
Rose's heart skipped a beat as she walked into Nicholas's house. The sight of him waiting for her in the living room brought back a flood of memories from their past. Despite the tension between them, being near Nicholas still stirred something deep within her."Hey," Nicholas greeted with a smile, trying to ease the awkwardness between them. "I'm glad you came."Rose returned the smile, trying to appear unaffected by the emotions swirling inside her. "Of course, I wanted to talk," she replied, taking a seat on the sofa.Nicholas sat beside her, taking a deep breath before he began to explain the situation with Ellen. "I need to tell you about Ellen," he started, his voice tinged with frustration. "She's not happy about us being together."Rose furrowed her brow, surprised by the revelation. "Why? What did she say?" she asked, genuinely curious about Ellen's objections.Nicholas hesitated for a moment before continuing, "She said you hurt me in the past and that I shouldn't forgive yo
On getting to the house, she didn't find Nicholas in the living room. It's her first time at his house in Vernice City. She decided to check him in the office. She knocked his office, then she opened the door when she heard his voice. Ellen walked into Nicholas's office, trying to put on a friendly smile despite the turmoil inside her.

But I'm managing."Ellen took a deep breath, trying to muster the courage to bring up the topic she had been avoiding for so long. "Nicholas, you told me that Rose is right here in Vernice City," she said caref
Ellen arrived in Vernice City with a heart full of restlessness and a mind consumed by curiosity. She couldn't shake off the feeling that Nicholas had seen Rose, and she needed to find out more about their connection. Ignoring her own feelings of jealousy, she focused on her plan to gather information about Rose before confronting Nicholas.Determined to keep her intentions hidden, Ellen decided to visit the cafe owned by Rose, using the guise of a regular customer. She followed all the information she got from her spies before coming to this city. Ellen walked into the cafe with a practiced smile, trying to appear like any other customer. She approached the counter where Bryan was busy preparing a cup of coffee."Hi there," Ellen greeted warmly. "I heard you have some amazing coffee here. Mind if I try your special blend?"Bryan flashed a friendly smile. "Of course! Our special blend is one of our bestsellers. I'll get that for you right away."As Bryan prepared her coffee, Elle
Restlessness consumed Kay after he received the call from his father, Don Bernardo, about finding Rose. He couldn't shake off the mix of emotions swirling inside him. He knew he had to talk to someone about this, but he wasn't ready to burden Rose with his worries. Rose sat beside him with smile, but she could sense that something was bothering him. "Is everything alright, Kay?" she asked with concern.He hesitated for a moment, trying to hide his inner turmoil. "I'm fine, Rose," he replied, offering her a weak smile. "Just a little tired, that's all."In truth, Kay couldn't bear the thought of his father getting involved with Rose again. He remembered all too well the pain and suffering she had endured in the past, and he couldn't bear to see her hurt again. He knew that Don Bernardo's intentions were not even pure, and he had to find a way to protect Rose from his father's manipulative grasp.Leaving Rose's house momentarily, Kay felt a sense of urgency to find Nicholas and
