081- MY BREAK-UP EMAIL.

ROSE'S POV 'Dear Rose, I appreciate the time we've spent together, no matter how little, because I believe once you give a person your time, you give them a part of you. You've redefined what love is. I never thought I could feel this way after so many years, coupled with my health conditions. But you loved me. I still remember the way you held my hands while we toured the beautiful city of Dubai like it was just yesterday.My first surgery was successful, but I doubt the second would be as successful. I'm getting weaker and more tired daily, and I realize I've been holding you back. You have a whole world ahead of you. It's selfish of me to tie you to my dying bed. Don't wait for me, Rose. Go on and live life. You have a husband, a family, and a community that looks up to you.This perverted relationship between us can't work. You're my sin and not my salvation. I'm sorry for leading you on. Don't wait for me because I'm never coming back to you.'I stare at the screen blankly. It d

082- LET'S PAY DESMOND A VISIT.

ROSE'S POV I sink deeper into my bed, but I keep staring at the door, scared that Desmond may burst in anytime and abduct me again. I can still feel the cold kerchief against my nose. Even now, safe in my bedroom, my mind remembers how Desmond's cruel hands grabbed me and yanked my dress up. I feel so alone and abandoned. My fingers itch to unblock Ryan and send a desperate plea, but I tighten my resolve and throw the phone on the bed. I won't be the one to apologize. A sudden knock on my door startles me. I jerk and jump down from the bed, looking for where to hide. The door is pushed open, and Monique walks in. "Oh my goodness! You scared me." I sigh, leaning against the dresser. "I'm sorry." Monique walks over in her miniskirt and crop top. She hugs me, and takes one look at me before shaking her head. "What's wrong, girl?" I groan and sit on the bed, my leg crossed and phone in hand. Monique sits on a stool in front of the dresser; she brings out a wine bottle from her purs

83. MONIQUE'S POVI sit by the dresser watching over Rose until she falls asleep. All the while, my head is spinning with a 1001 ways I could kill Desmond and make it look like a fucking accident. Desmond is highly connected, and Ryan tried it once but it got really messy. Thankfully he's also highly connected and was left off the hook on assault charges.But I have to do something. I need to. I tap Rose gently, she stirs and continues snoring. I pick up my purse and head out. I stop by the door and smile, before stepping out, I hurry down the stairs and out of the mansion. I don't want to bump into anyone, beside Micah and Rose's Dad, I hate every other member of her family. Or, dislike. Hate is a strong. I drive out quickly with one destination in mind.As I pulled at the high end cafe Desmond partially owns, everything in me tells me this is a bad idea. I came here to confront one asshole.Desmond. I've known him for years. He was my boss or pretended to be whilst he was just a

084- AFTER THE HEADLINE.

ROSE'S POV"Where did Monique go?""She must have left while you were still asleep."I rub my eyes. The house is oddly quiet. "What about Elias?"Micah sighs and resumes typing on his system. He answers tightly. "He's returned to New York. It's better that way for us all. He won't be causing any trouble from there."I take a bottle from the refrigerator and join him on the couch. Elias, the name hunts me now. The flashback of the night he led Desmond to my room resurfaces... I want to scream, but there's no point; almost everyone meant to protect me has betrayed me in some way. "I didn't really want him to leave?""It has nothing to do with you. Guess it's the guilt eating him up, but guilt doesn't make anything right." Micha yawns before continuing. "Elias... can be a handful at times.""So, you'll be flying back to London soon?" I ask, peeking into the laptop on his thighs."I'm not going anywhere. Something bad could happen to you." He sounds scared. "You don't get it, do you?" H

085- LIE TO ME.

ROSE'S POVSharma presses her lips in, then smiles calmly. "Uh, Ms. Dawson, welcome. I wasn't expecting you.""I tend to arrive unannounced when I sense something is off." She says smoothly."How may the department be of help to you?"She twists her wedding ring. "I learned that people reveal themselves when they feel safe. So I'm going to make everyone here feel very, very safe." She says, directing a warm smile at Sharma.It's the way she smiles in that sweet, creepy way that makes her really unpredictable. Is she referring to Dawson...or Sharma...?She turns to me, still smiling. Or me? She turns back to Sharma. "My husband is cheating on me, ma'am." She placed her hands on the desk, leaning into Sharma. "And I know it's someone working in your department."I shoot an accusing glance at Sharma, hoping she gets the message and come clean. It makes no to lie at this point. It will only worsen the fallout.Naomi looks like an incredibly smart and tough woman to me; she would certainl
