A WEEK LATER Things seemed to have been moving perfectly for everyone. Hailey was in Australia working alongside Victor while trying to capture his heart. Frederick was still trying to make Rosaline open her heart to him. This time he had made some breakthroughs. Living together made them rely on each other for almost everything. He had refused to hire a cook so that he and Rosaline could prepare their meals together and strengthen their growing bond."Hand me the salt," Rosaline said to Frederick who was lost in thought. When he didn't make an attempt to get the salt, Rosaline placed the hot spoon she was using to stir the soup on his arm."Awwww," Frederick yelped and pulled his arm away."What was that for?" He asked."Hand me the salt," she repeated.Frederick grumbled and handed the salt to her.********************* Once they were done cooking, both sat at the dining table and ate their meal. This last week, Frederick had developed a habit of bringing up a topic during their

"You can stay with us until you get somewhere to stay," Rosaline said.For the first time since Zara entered the house, she smiled genuinely. This bitch was making things very easy for her, she thought."Thank you so much, this means a lot to me. I'll surely repay you," Zara said, crocodile tears dropping from her eyes."It's nothing," Rosaline said with a friendly smile. She wasn't going to let her insecurity cloud her sense of reasoning. This lady right here has gone through a lot and needed help. Frederick coughed to bring back their attention to him."Zara," he called. When Zara looked at him, he said."You said you were kidnapped and threatened to leave me. Do you happen to know who was behind the incident?" He asked.Zara just stared blankly at him, without saying anything. The question had thrown her off guard, as she didn't prepare for such a question. Instead of answering, she began to sniffle and fresh tears ran down her face."I…I can't tell you. He will come after me," sh

Frederick opened the bedroom and entered, the first thing he saw was a naked Rosaline on the bed. He blinked to be sure that his eyes were not deceiving him. But they truly weren't. His member jumped in excitement at the sight before him. He gently closed the door. He turned around, in such a way that his back was facing her."Rosa, get dressed, I'm exhausted, I want to sleep," he said. Instead of doing what he just said, Rosaline giggled, got off the bed, and walked towards him. When she got close to him, she took his hands and placed them on her boobs."They are aching to be touched by you," she said slurrily.Frederick slowly turned to look at her. His member was now erected in excitement. He gently pressed her boobs and moaned out loud."Down here too, Fred. My whole body is aching for your touch," she said. Frederick noticed that her speech was slurred. He withdrew his hands from her."Are you drunk?" he asked. Fuck, what was he even doing? How could helosee control like this? To

"Let's go to your room, mine is messy right now," Zara told Rosaline as they climbed the stairs."Alright," Rosaline replied. She was wondering what Zara wanted to talk about. She really hoped that Zara had given up on Frederick. However, if she hasn't, this might be her chance to make Zara know that Frederick was in love with her(Rosaline ) so she won't keep waiting for him.When they got into the room, Zara shut the door and pulled Rosaline to the bed. Before Zara could say a word, Rosaline said:"Zara, I know you are in love with Fred, I'm aware of how you put your life in danger to make him safe. You've really sacrificed a lot for him. Not anyone can do what you did for him."Zara faked a sad voice and said:"Don't…I know what you're going to say to me, but please don't…""Zara, listen to me first," Rosaline said in a pleading voice."No, hear me out first_" Zara pleaded, making Rosaline shut her mouth and listen."I dated Frederick for over two years, we should have been married

Yvonne arrived at the hospital and met Zara who was waiting for her in the lobby."Mum, you are here," Zara exclaimed on seeing her. She went over to her and hugged her."How have you been, dear? I heard about what happened to you. Are you okay now? Are you hurting anywhere?" Yvonne asked her. Ever since Rosaline was admitted to the hospital, Yvonne has not bothered to visit, as she did not see any reason why she should visit someone whom she hates. Her coming to the hospital was because of Zara. "I'm fine now, Mum. Do not worry yourself," Zara told her."You have to make Frederick leave the room. He has to go home and wash up," Zara said."I'm aware of that dear. However, you have to go with him_" she winked at Zara. "This might be your chance to get him back. You know what I mean.""Stop mum, Frederick is now married to someone else. I can not do that," Zara said, pretending like what Yvonne just said had not crossed her mind."You went through a lot of torture because of my son.
