“Stephano De Luan wins tender worth thirty million dollars despite the stakes being so high up.” Rose smiled as she read the news headlines to herself in her office. A proud smile glistened on her face as she saw a picture of him under the bold news headlines. He was adorning a black crisp suit that hugged his body so perfectly. He looked beyond dashing and everyday he got more and more handsome in her blue doe eyes.Rose and Stephano had been friends since that very day. To be precise, Stephano was her only friend years ago. No one wanted to associate with the deaf girl but Stephano didn't look at her disability but instead saw past that and found the gentle and innocent little girl who only wanted to be loved and accepted by her own peers. He was the only one who spoke to her and even learnt sign language back then just to communicate with her. Now things were different because now, she had earing aids to make communication much better.“You've been staring at that newspaper for qui

“Miss Rose!” Karen rushed towards Rose but was careful in her steps as she eyed the greasy content on the floor with cautioned eyes. Azazel with both his hands tucked in both sides of his jeans' pockets continued his laughter from the sides leaning against a pillar. “It never gets old with you Rosy. Always so oblivious to what's happening around you.” His words only ticked off Rose all the more.Karen helped Rose get to her feet. “You said no one was around Karen?” Rose asked not wanting to even give Azazel a tiny bit of glance. “Yes Miss. I promise no one was at home not even Azazel. Am just as shocked as you are that he's been home for a while now. As far as I recall he didn't come through the front door. He must have snuck his way in.” Karen tried to explain while being apologetic at the same time.Now Rose felt bad for accusing Karen. “It's fine Karen don't worry. It's not your fault, I was just being silly.” “I'll get you some change of clothes right away miss.” Karen immediatel

“We're here Miss Foyer,” Gordon announced from the drivers' seat. Rose was immediately brought back from her deep thoughts. She looked at her left through the car window to find out they were already at the De Luan home. “Thank you Gordon.” She smiled before she opened the car door and stepped out. The night was sort of chilly and it made her tighten her long coat over her body.“Are you alright miss Foyer?” Gordon asked still in the drivers' seat. “Am fine Gordon.” Rose replied and even widened her smile for emphasis. She spotted many cars driving into the driveway and elegant guests coming out from those cars. She only knew few faces but it seems many of the ladies among the guests knew her well to be the C.E.O of Navia.Tightening her coat, she made her way into the house and behold, the foyer alone was filled and enveloped with so many guests. One of the servants by the entrance offered to take off her coat but she humbly refused. The guests were mostly rich businessmen with their

Throughout the party, Rose felt like she was on cloud nine. Her eyes kept on dashing towards Stephano every ten seconds. How much she was eager to confess to him. It felt so easy for Stephano to openly confess his love to her. Her heart would always ponder nervously at just the thought of it. Now she didn't feel scared at all.“If you continue to stare at him like that, not just him but everybody else would think you're a creep.” Rose got startled when Bronya peeked from behind her. Rose giggled softly. “So you haven't told him yet have you?” Bronya took a glass of grape juice and sat beside Rose. Rose shooked her head with a small smile. Now she knew she couldn't waste any more time on this.Just then the crowd beams loudly by the entrance gathering their attention. The guests made way and Angelique walked in all dressed up like the model that she is. A sleeveless bubble pink gown adorned her perfece body. Her loose brown curls shined brightly and that smile of hers was sure to captu

It had been an hour since Rose left the hospital without anyone knowing her presence was even felt. Not even Gordon knew that she had left the hospital. Gordon stood outside and leaned against the car with a little cigarette between his fingers. He blew out the puff of smoke through his mouth as he stared into space. He looked at the time on his watch before he finally found his car pulling over in front of the hospital.He watched the car zoom into the parking lot but didn't bother to park well as Stephano rushed out of his car with a worried look on his face. His eyes met Gordon before he made heavy hushed steps towards him. “Where is she?” He asked almost immediately. Gordon took another drag before he crushed the cigarette bud under his shoe. “Ms Foyer is inside and isn't doing well. She needs you Mr De Luan. That's why I've called you here.” He said turning to look at Stephano. Gordon knew the only person who could comfort his mistress was none other than Stephano. It wasn't a se
