121. The heiress

Evelyn’s POVResilience was one word people could use to describe me. When I wanted something done, I pursued it until there was nothing left to resist me.I didn’t stop trying to get Mr. Kane to take my specially prepared tea. The first few days were terrible, but I had expected that. The nurse stayed close the entire time, a sedative ready in her hand in case he turned violent.And he did.By the third day, he frowned the moment he saw me, but he didn’t say anything. I decided it would be easier if he took his tea in the kitchen, somewhere familiar, somewhere he couldn’t easily reject.“I’m making you tea,” I said that morning, already moving before he could protest.His eyes flicked to the injection in the nurse’s hand, and just like that, he chose calm over resistance.I mixed every kind of tea I could find and added enough sugar to make it sweet. Maybe that was the problem. Maybe Rosa’s tea had been too bland for him. Poor old man, being forced to take something so tasteless.Whe

122. A hidden report

Rosa's POV We drove straight to the cemetery. My hands trembled the entire way, and for a moment, I wished the car could move faster, as if speed alone could undo everything I had missed all this time.How could I have forgotten?Emiliano.The man I had met the first day I visited my father’s grave. He had mentioned it so casually back then, but now it meant everything. He had told me they handled the bodies before burial.If there was anywhere I could find the truth about my grandfather… and maybe even my father, it was there, at the cemetery.The moment we arrived, I asked for him. Emiliano recognized me immediately, his expression softening as he walked up to me.“It’s a great thing you did for your father,” he said. “And also kicking Emilia and Milo out.”I gave a small nod. Alex stayed in the car, watching from inside while I spoke.“You told me you handled the bodies before they were buried,” I started.“Yes,” he said. “We clean them.”“My grandfather…” I hesitated, steadying m

123. All the things that could go wrong

Rosa's POV Alex took the phone from me and read through the news. The sudden rush of excitement had already taken away my appetite, leaving the food abandoned in front of me.For weeks, we had searched for Evelyn. And now, she was at the Kane estate. It should have felt like good news—it was good news.But when I looked at Alex, his brows were drawn together, and his expression was far from relieved.“Aren’t you happy she’s there?” I asked, watching him carefully.He turned to me, his voice low. “I am. But my father is alone with her…”My heart skipped at the mention of that, unease settling in almost instantly in the air between us. I could only hope Old man Kane hadn’t seen her yet. We were supposed to be there for that moment, to control how we revealed her identity to him.“I think if there had been a problem, the nurse would have called,” I said, trying to steady his thoughts, even though mine were beginning to spiral with all the things that could go wrong.Alex didn’t look con

124. Sugar rush

Rosa's POV Alex stopped mid-sentence and moved toward me immediately. My heart was racing so fast it felt like the room was spinning around me. The coldness of his father’s skin pulled me back to a memory I had tried so hard to bury.This was exactly how it had been with my grandfather. I had been in the room when his body turned cold.And it was happening again.For a second, fear threatened to take over, to drag me under completely. And I felt the room spinning. But I forced myself to stay grounded. I knew how much Alex needed me now. Whatever was happening to me could wait. couldn’t fall apart. So I gripped the bedsheets tightly, steadying myself, forcing my eyes to focus on the room, and on the present.“What’s happening?” I asked, my voice faint.I didn’t realize how weak I sounded until Alex’s head snapped toward me, his face filled with concern.“Are you okay?” he asked, stepping closer.I nodded, even though my head felt heavy. “I just need to sit down,” I said, lowering my

125. Graces

Alex's POV I was still trying to sort out the mess Evelyn had created by feeding my father sugar and keeping him sedated for days when my PA called about her live video.The Kanes were trending again.And this time, for all the wrong reasons.Evelyn had exposed the truth about my father’s condition. I watched part of the video, my jaw tightening with every second. I ended the video, unable to make it to the end. I already knew the damage it would cause.First, the public would turn on me for hiding my father’s illness. Then the trolls would take over, dragging the Kane name through every corner of the media.And it had already started…because the media didn't give the Kanes enough grace before they turned rabid on us.Rosa had fallen asleep beside me, her phone slipping loosely in her hand. I didn’t want to wake her, knowing how exhausted she was. But as I gently took the phone from her, I realized she had seen the video too.She had been watching it when sleep caught up with her.Th

126. She strikes back

Charles' POV This morning, I woke up to devastating news. One of our biggest shareholders was pulling out of the company. Baker Tech had already been struggling since Rosa left, but this… this could be the final blow.And I couldn’t let that happen.Baker Tech had once been at the top. We had done so well, and even won Tech Company of the Year. Now everything was slipping, and I knew exactly where I had gone wrong.Rosa.And that was why I needed her back.I got out of bed around three in the morning, sleep refusing to come. Instead, I sat with my laptop, scrolling endlessly through Kane Tech’s platforms. They were thriving even after everything I had done to bring them down, they were still standing strong.Stronger, even.Their stocks had risen again, and I knew what would happen next. The moment our shareholder officially pulled out, ours would crash terribly.When I could no longer stand staring at their success, I drafted a message to the shareholder, requesting a meeting. If I

127. Like a little mean girl

Rosa's POV I couldn’t quite place what I felt when I heard Evelyn’s voice coming from my room. At first, it was disbelief. Then it shifted into something I never thought I would feel for her. Annoyance.I stood there for a moment, trying to process it, while Alex knocked on the door, his patience already wearing thin.“Open this door at once!” He barked at the closed door.My mind kept racing, trying to make sense of it, until the door finally opened.Evelyn stood there, a mask covering part of her face, and her lips curled in clear disgust. She didn’t even spare me a glance. That was when the anger started to rise.“Why are you in that room?” Alex asked, his voice tight with restraint.Evelyn didn’t flinch. She rolled her eyes, completely unbothered. “It’s the second best room in the mansion. Shouldn’t it be mine?”I pressed my lips together, holding back my reaction.“You met it occupied, didn’t you?” Alex said. “There are other rooms in this house that you can use.”“Didn’t you he

128. Roses and promises

Charles' POV The moment I ended the call, I went straight to check why the Kanes were trending and what I found caught me off guard.My chest tightened as I watched.As bad as it looked for them, there was something else that stood out. Evelyn was no longer with Patra. She was at the Kane estate, and Patra hadn’t said a word about it. Patra would explain that later. I leaned back in my chair, eyes fixed on the screen as I tried to piece everything together. If I played this right, I could turn it to my advantage, pull myself back up, and finally deal with Nancy on my own terms.The first video showed Evelyn sitting in front of the camera, looking completely different from the last time I saw her. She was crying ,and talking about how Mr. Kane, her father, had been rushed to the hospital and how he had dementia.I stared at the screen, letting it sink in. This was valuable. Mr. Kane was critically ill, and Alex had been hiding it from the public.I was still processing that when ano

129. Troubles at work

Rosa's POV It was finally the morning of my first day back at work after the vacation, and for the first time in a while, I felt eager to return. I had been away for too long, and I missed the routine, and the feeling of getting dressed doing something that mattered.Today was different too.It would be my first meeting as a shareholder. And that thought alone made me nervous.I had spent most of the night going through documents, trying to understand everything I needed to know about being a shareholder and the inner workings of Kane Tech. There was still so much I hadn’t known before.Alex had helped as much as he could before sleep took him. I had smiled at him when he finally gave in, then quietly returned to my research.Now, as I stepped into my car, I realized I had left earlier than usual.I needed it.I wasn’t ready for Evelyn’s drama this morning, and I wanted a moment to myself before the building filled up. More than that, I needed to think clearly about how to deal with

130. The ultimatum

Rosa's POV “Don’t you dare!”My body trembled as the words left my lips, but my voice held steady enough to make the security men pause.I was done being humiliated.“I was given this position by the CEO,” I continued, my tone firm. “No one gets to take it from me.” My gaze moved from the hesitant guards to Evelyn, then to HR.“By sleeping with him?” Evelyn scoffed. “No one promotes a PA to a tech specialist…unless they've been in your panties.”Evelyn didn't mind insulting her brother just to insult me. But what held me back was because she was Alex's sister. I didn't want to hurt her as much as she had been doing exactly that.“Have you read about the Valis project?” I asked, meeting her eyes. “Have you?”HR let out a dismissive laugh. “Please. We all know you got lucky with that project. You weren't supposed to handle it in the first place. You probably just copied what the Head Tech Specialist had already done.”“She probably slept her way through that too,” Evelyn added, a smug
