Semua Bab His Father's Obsession, I fell in love with his son. : Bab 121 - Bab 130

I was too scared to open the message that had just popped up on the tablet no matter how drawn I was to do so. I contemplated in my heart what the worst could be as I bit my lip like one would do when something of great value had been forgotten.“Ce…sa..re…Ro…set…ti,” I managed to read out from the letters that were self-revealing without touching the main message.“Cesare Rosetti,” I pronounced the words fully, contorting my brows a bit as though it would help me to know the bearer of the name that sounded exactly like my surname. I gave little thought to it and continued.After all, my husband was the leader of a notorious organization and to be able to pull that successfully, he must really know a lot of big fishes. I looked at the messages and still didn’t click on it till another one popped up but this time it was an address.Since the tablet was in my hands when it entered, I had the privilege of seeing the whole message before it folded up into a clickable notification box at

“Were you eavesdropping on us or something?” Carol asked, looking at her like she had just developed two ugly-looking heads.“No!” Veronica yelled immediately, tilting her head and crossing her arms in disbelief. “It was a simple mistake and nothing more,” She muttered.“Well, then have your eyes fixed in the right place next time you move,” Carol mumbled and made to leave but Veronica called her back.Carol paused her movement, rolling her eyes in her socket like they would jump out and fall off any moment yet she didn’t turn to look in Veronica’s direction.“I said I was sorry, Carol. It was not intentional,” She pleaded with a soft voice but the mere sound of her voice appalled her Carol in no small way.“I heard you and I am sorry too for putting you in that situation,” Carol barely muttered the apology to Veronica before slipping away.“Clara, come clean this up immediately,” She ordered, dropping the glass cup in her hand on the minibar counter, her footsteps echoing softly up t

“Forgive you?” I asked, not clearly understanding what Veronica meant by that, I mean, it was just a minor bump and there were no injuries sustained, so, why would she even think that I would take that to heart.I was still very shocked at her presence at my door and even more shocked that she was holding a glass of pineapple juice like it was the most natural thing in the world. My mind scrambled to catch up with what was happening because it was strange to me.“Carol, I see the shocked look in your face, it’s obvious you weren’t expecting this” She continued quickly, her eyes lighting up as if talking would make me pick some interest in her presence. “Can we talk?” She asked with a bit of doubt in her voice.Her tone was soft and a little pleading. She looked straight at me, tilting her head the way people do when they’re trying to appear harmless but something about it didn’t sit right with me.I became instantly aware that Luca was in the room behind me. The thought of Veronica

“Where else if not here? Or is this about your husband sending spies to watch your whereabouts?” She retorted.“Come off it at once. In a mixed crowd like this, there are bound to be spies, I thought we talked about this and you gave me your word,” Carol said between gritted teeth.“I did give you my word but…”“Is anything the problem?” The woman asked with furrowed brows, looking between the faces of Elena and that of Carol.“Ermmm…nothing is….” Elena began but Carol cut in immediately.“The dressing room is a good place to have this conversation, ma’am,” Carol replied, expecting Elena to address the woman immediately and stamp in the details of the change but she didn’t.“What do I call you?” The woman asked, looking at Carol in some type of way which wasn’t bad at all but as soon as she was about to reply, Elena excused herself politely, leaving the two of them to get along.Carol turned back to the woman, unsure how to shift her tone now that she knew who she was but the woman ju

"Carol" Elena called out immediately as she stepped into the dressing room. A couple of ladies who were prepping for their stripping shift at the extreme walked out at the same time.Elena moved straight to Carol’s side, her face was tight with worry, her eyes scanning Carol’s expression like she was trying to read every hidden thought.“What was that about?” Elena asked quickly. “What happened? Tell me,” She urged, stroking her hair softly."You know I'm not your daughter, right?" Carol asked, looking straight into her eyes. Elena got the gist and stopped what she was doing with her hand on her hair."You worry me out already and you leave me guessing if all went well in your discussion with Anna," Elena muttered."She left me this card," Carol stretched her hand and shook her head, still rattled by the conversation she had just had.
