After the day's work, Astrid called it a day. She was satisfied with the outcome of her work schedule being completed, especially the part where she instructed Nelson to blacklist Mr. Harper's company.

No one dares mess with her and goes free. The man and his company were thrown into a complete hysteria. Reporters flooded him for an explanation while stockholders who invested in his company rained insults and demanded for their money.

The man was a total fraud. Fortunately, Astrid was able to unmask his facade on time.

She took her coat and purse and walked out of her office, ready to hit the road back home.

"Nelson, I will be leaving now. Take care, and please don't pull an all-nighter. Go home and have a good rest. Oh, tomorrow, don't bother coming to work. I will be spending time with Rose for the day. So take a day off," she informed him before going out of the office.

She went down to the underground garage and retrieved her car.

But he isn't running a temperature. He gets up from his bed, goes down to the kitchen and warms up a bowl of milk which he later transfers to a glass.On his way back to his room, he finds Victoria sitting at the front of his door with her knees bucked to her chin and her arms wrapping around them."What are you doing here?" He growls at her, angry at the sight of her."So now, I can't see my own child anymore? Do you think it is easy for me...." She tries to say but Rowan cuts her off instantly not giving her a chance to complete her words."Noah does not need you to be with me. I should be the one bonding with him and not you. The only reason why I brought you here is for him not to feel lonely and lose his motherly love," Rowan reminds her and she presses her lips into a thin line, frustr

    Happy weekend, dear readers❤️"Please, let us off this once. I didn't mean to cause trouble. My girlfriend was only trying to act foolishly and I apologize for that," the young man begs exempting himself from the situation.His girlfriend stares at him in astonishment. She had no idea that he would dump her off just to save his ass.All of this was his doing just so he could show off to his friends. However, the young girl exaggerated her role and landed both of them in trouble."So now you know how to beg? What happened to that insolent tone of yours? Both of you are going in for the damages you caused to the employees," Astrid says firmly."We are sorry for the nuisance we caused. We did not intend to create such...""I don't need your excuses. You not only humiliated the employees but also assaulted them verbally and physically. If I hit you and call you the names you used on them, do you think your mental health will remain the same? These employees are trying their best to please

Astrid finally found her voice but Rowan slammed his hand on her mouth, muffling her scream.She struggled to break free from him but he was too strong for her. But she refused to give up so easily because of his strength over her.Biting down his palm, she dug her pointy heel on his shoe. Rowan frowned in pain but that only made him tighten his grip on her.He used his other hand to pin her waist against the wall, digging his nails into her skin until she was unable to bear the pain and stopped her harm on him."Are you done being stubborn?" He asked in a dark hushed voice that sent chills down her Spine.Astrid knew that Rowan was scary and had a dark side that he only kept to himself. But never did she think that he was dangerous.The aura he was emitting while holding her

    DON'T FORGET TO VOTE, COMMENT AND LIKE... THANK YOU!!!After encountering Rowan at the mall, Astrid's mood turned gloomy. She was completely distracted by her thoughts and barely paid attention to Rose's conversation.Noticing her dazed friend, she snapped her fingers at her face and brought her back to reality. "Down to earth baby girl. You are very much distracted today. Is there anything bothering you?" She asked with concern written on her forehead."I am okay. It's just that... Rose, how possible is it to get rid of a man completely without anyone noticing his disappearance?" She asked with a serious face that got Rose curious."You have to be specific about the kind of elimination.""The kind where he disappears from the surface of the earth," she said with an irritated tone.Rowan's uncultured behavior has been getting to her lately. He doesn't know when to stop and has been pestering her every single day.Aside from meeting her physically, he has been sending her text message

    It took five minutes for Astrid to process what Grandma Wade had revealed to her. She couldn't believe that something like that was possible especially to someone raised with a golden spoon.In other words Rowan's life was in danger. It was only a matter of time for things to escalate and get worse, thereby putting her husband in a difficult position.“Who else knows about this Grandma?" she asked, holding her hand as anxiety took over her mind.“Only, Chef Gladline and you know about this. But I have made preparations to put his name in secret. Which means, people will find out sooner or later about his hereditary. You have to promise me that you won't let anyone know about you or your child when the time comes. I don't want anything bad to happen to any of you. So please promise me that you will protect yourself at all costs," She demanded.“I will never allow anyone to harm my child, husband or me. That person would have to cross the largest sea in order to do that," Astrid said, m

    A nice warm coffee was all Astrid needed to start her day. After helping Noah prepare for school and making sure that he left early, she relaxed at home. Her main goal was to select wedding themes for her and Rowan to look over once he returned from work. Unknown to her, he was in a bit of a crisis. She hummed over a biscuit in her mouth as she glanced through wedding magazines for a style to pick.“You look beautiful today, child," Grandma Wade gently strode into the leisure room. Astrid dropped the magazine she was looking at and went to assist her, until she found a comfortable spot to sit down.“Thank you Grandma." Her cheeks heated up from the old lady's compliment. She shyly brushed her hair behind her ear and smiled like a cute puppy.“My beautiful granddaughter. I am so glad that Rowan brought you back to the family. I missed you a lot to the extent that I refused to talk to my block head grandson if he did not bring you back. Thank you for accepting his proposal," Grandma mu

    Astrid woke up the next day wrapped in her husband's arms. They were clued to each other, skin to skin, under the sheets. She moves her upper body against him and uses her elbow as support on his chest. While he was asleep, observed his prince-like features and trailed her fingers on his face until she got to his lips.Memories of how his lips work on her body last night pulled in. She reddened immediately from the thought and decided to move away from him for her safety.But it was already too late, her little movements had woken him up. His hands moved around her waist keeping her in place on top of him.“Good morning, baby," he mumbled with a deep raspy voice. Her face flushed up and he chuckled loving the effect he had on her.“Um... good morning." Her hands rushed up to her face, embarrassed by how audacious she had been last night.Rowan made an attempt to remove her hands but she held onto tight and continued to hide her face.“Why wouldn't you let me see your face, baby?" He

    “Let me get this straight. Rowan asked you to remarry him and you said no but then had sex with him," Rose summarized Astrid's story. They were at a spa house receiving a full body massage and facial treatment. Astrid hummed in response, enjoying the relaxing touch of her masseuse's hands.“Why? You should have just said yes. How long are you going to keep playing tag with him? That's frustrating you know," Rose said, gasping in relief after her masseuse hit a stress point on her body.Astrid had regained most of her memories about her best friend. It was hard to forget someone as cheerful and sunshine-like like Rose. She talked along, clung to Astrid like a Velcro strap whenever she wasn't indulged by Rowan or entertained by her fiance, Nelson. So it was easy to remember her faster than everyone else.“I just want him to suffer a little. He said he hurt me in the past. So he should get a taste of his own medicine," Astrid expressed her intention which Rose disapproved.“That was a

    As days passed, Astrid began to adapt to her surroundings. She enjoyed spending time with those around her most especially, her dear husband.He made her happy. These triggered some of her memories to return. Although they were still hazy, she could remember names. However, his name didn't seem to bring good memories to her. Most of what she could remember was her crying and feeling desperate for his attention. During those times she had those flashbacks, she distanced herself from him.She didn't understand why she would feel horrible towards someone who she loved. The thought of being betrayed again frightened her. She wanted to be with Rowan as long as possible. So instead of prying and questioning her taunting memories, she decided to bury it deep in her heart.After all he loves her and that's what matters. She thought that if she pushed the bitter memories of her past behind she would be able to live happily with him.But then, memories like that were hard to forget. “My love.

    Astrid cracked up when she noticed Delilah had turned pale from her threat. She couldn't believe that she would react to it thoughtfully.“I am sorry Doc," she said, laughing in between. “What's funny?" Delilah asked still shaken from her threat.“It was a joke. I am not a horrible person to do such a thing to my doctor. You see I received treatment from a doctor who toyed with my brain, switched my medication, and made me think I was someone. I am only being cautious that the same thing won't repeat itself. Please forgive me if I startled you," Astrid muttered with an apologetic smile. She didn't mean to scare the young doctor.But then she didn't want to be fooled by anyone again. She wants to get better, heal from her wounds, learn about her husband again, and remember her memories.Doctor Delilah let out a relieved laugh feeling embarrassed that she had fallen for her patient's prank. She brushed her hair behind her ear and placed the clipboard she was holding on the mini tea tab

    "Welcome, Mrs. ...um." Astrid's therapist stared at her patient's chart. She was confused about how to address Astrid since she had two last names. Rowan and Astrid had not renewed their vows after they annulled their divorce prior to the accident. Rowan had plans of rectifying that later. But for now, he wanted Astrid to feel comfortable with him and others. Seeing her struggle with the names, Astrid placed her hand on the clipboard and gently pulled it down."Call me Astrid instead," She said, easing the doctor's burden.The doctor smiled at her and offered her a seat on her fluffy white sofa. Astrid noticed the white interior design in her office especially the russian poreclain dolls that sat on a stair-like shelf."I hope you don't mind the plain colour of my office. I like the colour white," the Doctor muttered when she noticed Astrid's roaming eyes."Not at all. It's simple and lovely." She smiled."Okay, would you like a cup of tea or coffee?" The doctor asked, walking over

    Traveling back to the city was one thing and relating with the people you had forgotten was a whole lot for Astrid. She got to meet her parents who couldn't thank Rowan enough for bringing her home. They shared memories with her, took her to their favorite family spots and called her best friends over. Rose and Nelson hovered around her everyday they came to visit, they never left her and made sure she was comfortable. Chef Gladine was overwhelmed to have her back and prepared all kinds of dishes to welcome her. Everything seemed new to her but they made her feel at ease especially Rowan and Noah who were at her beck and call. “No, Mommy. That's not how to make my sandwich. You put the tomatoes first before the Vegetables, I like it that way," Noah instructed, showing her how he liked his sandwich to be made. “Don't put pressure on your Mommy, Noah," Rowan cautioned as he fried some eggs and bacon for breakfast. He had an apron tied around his waist, giving him a sexy daddy appear
