Rosaline and Frederick drove home barely saying a word to each other, both were preoccupied with different thoughts. Rosaline was thinking of the way her heartbeat accelerates, just by merely looking at Frederick. Frederick on the other hand was lost, thinking of how to quench the wildfire within him. Earlier today, he had pinched Rosaline, because he didn't want to delve into his desires. But right now, with her ordinarily sitting beside him, he was finding it hard to keep his hands to himself, as they ached to roam her body.The chauffeur parked the car in the garage, and both got down, without saying a word and entered the mansion.After dinner that night, everyone went to bed. That night, Rosaline lay on her bed, lost in thought. She was finding it hard to sleep. Different thoughts occupied her mind. More like different thoughts about Frederick occupied her mind. She shuts off all her thoughts and closes her eyes, to force herself to sleep. Minutes later, she slept off. As Rosaline

"I'm sorry, what?" Ashton asked."How did you get the injury on your left eye?" the investigator repeated."I do not know what you're talking about. I do not have any injury whatsoever in my eye.""Then what do you have to say about this?" the investigator asked, then pulled out a mirror from the bag he was carrying and placed it in front of Ashton, so he could see for himself. While this was happening, the rest of the Mills were completely speechless. Ashton gazed into the mirror, and when he saw an injury just a little above his left eye, he recalled something.FEW HOURS BEFORE THE QUESTIONING BEGAN.Ashton was ascending the stairs, when one of the soldiers who was descending the stairs, suddenly tumbled and fell on him. "I'm so sorry, let me help you up," the soldier said and helped him rise to his feet. Once he got up to his feet, the soldier bowed his head and walked off. Ashton had barely walked off when he felt his left eye sting. He had wanted to go check his eyes in the mir

"I won't be going to the company today, I'll be taking my wife out to get her mind off the unpleasant incident," Frederick informed his dad.Bradley stared at him for a while, wondering what was going on in his (Frederick) mind. He had been addressing Rosaline as his wife, ever since he came back that day, and he even decided to share his bedroom with her. All these were something he would never do, except he was pressured to do them."What changed? I've been trying to point out why you suddenly changed your attitude toward your wife. What really happened?" Bradley questioned.Frederick smiled on hearing the question, then replied:"Love happened." At that moment, he looked like a child who finally found his long-lost toy."Love happened, Dad. I'm in love with my wife."Bradley's lips curved into a smile."I'm happy for you son. This means that Zara has been forgotten. I do not need to continue searching for her, right?""Yes, no need to continue looking for her. I thought about her f

"Miss Amira Ronald, you're fired," Frederick said, without having an eyelash."Fi..fired? But I did not do anything wrong. I clearly told your wife not to sign the documents…""Leave!" Frederick thundered, cutting her off. Rosaline giggled, she was definitely enjoying this. Amelia glared at her. "With all due respect, sir. Your wife was the one who signed the documents, not me," Amira said. She was not going to back out easily. "You still have the nerve to lie in my presence?" Frederick asked, eying her displeasure."Get out!" He thundered again. This time, he rose from his seat and walked towards the door, pulled it open, and gestured to her to see herself out.Amira slowly walked to the door. But instead of leaving like she was told, he turned to Frederick."I love you…. I really do," she confessed. At that moment, Rosaline felt a surge of anger within her. She stood up and stormed towards Amira and Frederick at the door."Do not test my patience, young lady. Get the hell out of

"Time's up, say your wish."Rosaline looked at Frederick for a while, then said."Allow me to leave the Mills mansion.""What?" Frederick asked wide-eyed. This was by no means what he expected to hear." I said let me leave the Mills mansion," Rosaline repeated."Why..why do you want to leave," Frederick asked in a low voice. Looking at him, one could tell that he was hurt by Rosaline's wish."We never said we will tell each other the reason behind our wish," Rosaline reminded him.Frederick sighed, Rosaline's wish was really hard to grant. But he had to do it, so that she could at least develop an iota of feeling for him."Alright, you can leave the mansion.."Frederick had not finished talking when Rosaline cut him off."Really," she asked. She never expected him to grant her wish that easily."Yes….But I will leave the mansion with you.""Huh?""We will leave the Mills mansion together," Frederick said, then took her hands, which were resting on the table. He gazed into her eyes."
