Rosa stayed home all through the day. Somewhere in her heart, she hoped for his calls even though she wouldn't pick it up and other times, she wondered if to block him.

A sigh escaped her delicate lips. She felt so worn out literally from just lying down.

Hugo had returned, checking up on her severally and once, she faked her sleep, so he wouldn't hover for too long. She bit her cheek. She literally didn't know where she would be if not for her aunt and cousin.

Sitting up, with forced strength, she glanced at her phone screen to check the time. 4. P.M. She wondered what Martha would be thinking, seeing her not present for a day. She softly chuckled. She would probably be panicking.

Rubbing her eyes gently, she let out a yawn. Maybe she should just get down and stroll around the house.

She went to the sitting room to see her aunt watching TV.

“Auntie,” she softly said. Nardine's eyes went to her.

“How're you dear? Are you well rested?”

Rosa plopped into the chair beside her with a nod.

  • The Temporary Mrs. Wade   CHAPTER 73: Revelation in the Archives

    The mansion had places Rosa had never seen. Places she didn't bother wandering too, but today, that would change.That thought struck her the moment Mrs. Dill led her away from the study, and familiar corridors leading her into a narrower passage.With every step, the sounds of the house fell away. No servants could be seen, no murmured conversations. Just the echo of their footsteps against polished floorings.Rosa followed, her heart and mind still reeling from what Mrs. Dill had revealed in the study. She had asked where she was taking her, but she kept mute. Whatever it was, had to be important.Her mother had loved, and trusted, but that trust had destroyed her.“Where are we going?” Rosa asked again.Mrs. Dill didn’t turn. “Somewhere the family avoids,” she replied quietly. “But somewhere the truth never left.”She then turned slightly and met Rosa's gaze. “Even Alexander does not know about the existence of what you are about to see, for I brought them here secretly.”Rosa's e

  • The Temporary Mrs. Wade   CHAPTER 72: The Woes of Love

    Rosa sat in Alexander's study staring at nothing.Old photos of her mother were edited into grotesque collages online, demeaning her dignity. Anonymous accounts dissected her smiles, her posture, the way she leaned into Alexander in public. Everything became evidence. Everything became ugly. Even a little raise of a brow on why the clouds were about to rain, seemed to be some suspicious movement.“Maybe she's thinking of how to twist him further.”Only a few, though, sympathized with her.“Her mother was a mistress. Yeah, and so what? Isn't she human?”“Most of us judging her, have done worse.”“If she's a gold digger, I don't blame her. I would do the same if I were in her shoes.”“Honey, life can be hard, okay? Leave Rosa the hell alone!”“How are we sure this news is even true?”And just these few words, were able to give Rosa hope.She sat in the study, the curtains drawn, the room dim despite the day outside. The study smelled faintly of leather and old books. She had chosen it

  • The Temporary Mrs. Wade   CHAPTER 71: Across The Media

    Susan Wade did not sleep that night.She sat in her room long after the house had gone quiet, everyone had retired to their bed. Her reflection stared back at her from her vintage mirror.Pain had knocked her harshly earlier. But now the pain had hardened.She reached for her phone.There were many ways to destroy a person, she knew that. She had built a reputation, understanding exactly where pressure fractured bone and reputation alike. Money could silence, accidents could happen. But public opinion… public opinion was a wildfire.And Rosa Hamon had a name that burned beautifully. She would never refer to her as Rosa Wade, over her dead body.She dialed a number she rarely used.“Good evening, Mrs. Wade,” the voice answered smoothly.“I want a story out by morning,” Susan said without beating around the bush. “Not rumors. These are verified facts, clean enough to look accidental.”There was a pause. “About?”“Emilia Cole,” Susan replied, her voice clipped. “Former worker of the Wade

  • The Temporary Mrs. Wade   CHAPTER 70: History Won't Repeat Itself

    Susan Wade had always believed pain announced itself. That it arrived with screams, with breaking glass, with bodies collapsing under the revelation. She had not expected it to come quietly, wrapped in a name typed neatly on a private investigator’s report.Emilia Cole.The name sat inside her like a stabbed blade.Susan stood alone in her bedroom, the door locked and the curtains drawn despite the late morning sun. The house buzzed faintly outside, with whispers and footsteps and the aftershocks of chaos, but in here, everything was still. She clenched her fists.Emilia Cole. That bitch! She gritted her teeth.She had read the name a hundred times since dawn, hoping it would blur into meaninglessness, hoping exhaustion would turn it into ink without memory. But it only grew heavier and more realistic. A wound that refused to close.Susan inhaled deeply, her chest tightening as something old and ugly clawed its way back to life.Not her, anyone but her.She squeezed her eyes shut, as

  • The Temporary Mrs. Wade   CHAPTER 69: A Losing Game

    Rosa lay on her bed, crying until her eyes burned. Why did these things keep happening to her? Just when she thought she had finally found peace, trouble struck again.What hurt the most was Alexander’s reaction. She understood his internal battle, she truly did, but she had hoped it wouldn’t touch them. She loved him too much. She couldn’t bear to lose this.Coughing, she pushed herself up and grabbed the glass of water from her nightstand, gulping it down. The ache in her chest refused to ease.Then his mother’s words echoed mercilessly in her head.“Her mother was your father’s mistress!”Rosa’s grip tightened around the glass.That wasn’t possible. Her mother would never have done that.And yet, somewhere in the back of her mind, a small, traitorous voice whispered… ‘What if?’Because the truth was, Rosa never really knew what her mother did for a living. She remembered the later years, the poverty, the way her mother would stare into nothingness, sometimes crying, warning Rosa ab

  • The Temporary Mrs. Wade   CHAPTER 68: Slap in the Face

    Rosa stared dumbstruck at his mother's spiteful words. What?!“Ma’am please. I know you don't like me, but bringing my late mom into this is too far.”She could at least honor the dead.Mrs. Wade's eyes went to her sharply and then she broke into a cold humorless laugh. Rosa and Alexander exchanged looks before facing her again.“Look at this fool. You think I would stoop so low as to try and use your slut mother just to prove a point?”Rosa's jaw clenched and her gaze on the woman hardened.Susan chuckled, walking closer to Rosa, who stood her ground. Their eyes met in an unwavering bicker.“Or are you going to deny..” Susan continued, “that Emilia Cole was your mother?”Rosa's eyes widened. She knew her mother?! Her lips parted to speak but then it closed reluctantly.Alexander immediately pulled Rosa to him, protecting her from his mother.“Mom, please. It's too early for your shenanigans.”His mother smirked and looked over to Mrs. Dill whose face instantly paled.“You think I'm m
