131. Like stepping into my own funeral

Rosa’s POV My first shareholders’ meeting was only minutes away, and I told myself I was ready to sit in that room and make meaningful contributions.One day at a time. That was what I kept repeating to myself whenever my thoughts drifted back to Charles’ call.So I pushed it down and forced my focus onto the meeting ahead.A few minutes before it began, I stood up and exhaled slowly, hoping Evelyn wouldn’t show up and turn everything into another scene. I adjusted my clothes, took another steady breath, and stepped out of my office.The conference room was on the other side of the building, which meant I had to pass the front desk area. There was no way to avoid Patra, even though I had no desire to speak to her.I walked up to her desk. Her head was bent over her work as though she hadn’t noticed me approaching.“Hi, Patra,” I said when I stopped in front of her. “It’s been a while.”She looked up, feigning surprise. “Rosa? You’re back?” Her expression shifted into a slight frown.

132. Boardroom drama

Rosa’s POV I stood there, biting the inside of my lip. If she wanted me to lose my composure in front of top executives, I wasn’t going to give her that satisfaction. I was honestly tired of the way she thought she could speak to me like I was her personal servant.Alex rose to his feet immediately. “What’s going on?” he demanded, angrily. A meeting was supposed to have started, but instead Evelyn had brought drama to the room again. Murmurs began to ripple across the room, low and restless. This was exactly the kind of attention I had hoped to avoid. I had expected that when I stood up to speak, I would be dropping ideas about moving the company, not arguing over a seat.And I didn't even understand how HR was seated in the middle tier. How did she get so much money to buy that kind of shares? Something wasn't adding up.Evelyn stood as well, her expression sharp with disdain. “You should tell your slut to know her place.”Slut.The word hit harder than I expected, sending a flash

133. Stepping into someone's life

Rosa’s POV The reaction was immediate. Even the top-tier executives, who had barely spoken since the drama began, stirred as low murmurs spread across the room.I didn’t hesitate. I signed the document as though it would disappear if I wasted one more second staring at the figure instead of signing the document.Evelyn had thought she could embarrass me, but now she was the one flushing red, and muttering under her breath like it could undo what had just happened.When I was done, I straightened. Alex’s PA stepped beside me and took the document with quiet respect, the kind reserved for someone who now held real weight in the company. Alex extended his hand, and I placed mine in his as he led me to my new seat.The PA was already setting it up. A special seat…close to the CEO.“You’ll get your accessories later… and your new office,” Alex said.The moment we sat, hands shot up across the room. Everyone wanted answers. Everyone.Especially Evelyn.“I should be the one on that seat,” s

134. A new partner

Patra’s POV I was still trying to make sense of Rosa’s sudden boldness when Alex’s PA stepped out of the executive corner.Rosa hadn’t been thrown out yet, and that alone irritated me. The only reasonable explanation was that she was inside facing a disciplinary panel.Served her right if you ask me.Maybe they were finally tired of how she carried herself like she belonged, all because she had slept her way into relevance. And this time, I doubted even Alex would be able to shield her. She had been gone for over a week. Who disappears like that and expects to keep their job?Definitely not me.Shirley stopped right in front of my desk. “The boss needs an office prepared in the executive corner,” she said.I frowned. “What’s going on?”She gave a small shrug. “I have no idea. There’ll be an internal circular later.”Of course. Shirley was a vault when it came to information. Getting anything out of her was a waste of time.“And Rosa?” I pressed, leaning forward. “Why is she there? Is

135. The confrontation

Rosa’s POV If I had taken a picture of Patra’s face the moment she saw that plaque, I would frame it and stare at it on my worst days. I would laugh out loud every single time.She had assumed I was about to become a secretary. Worse, she hadn’t kept that assumption to herself. She had said it out loud and made a complete fool of herself.And now she was still standing there, looking exactly like one.“I… congratulations, Rosa,” she said, forcing a smile.I saw right through it. There was nothing genuine about Patra. Not anymore. I didn't know when I lost my friend, but I knew she was pretending to be happy for me.But I smiled anyway, like I didn’t notice. “Thanks, babe,” I said. “I didn’t expect it either.”Alex had already retreated to his office, leaving me to settle in with my temporary secretary.“When I saw the nameplate, I was shocked,” she said quickly. “How did this even happen, Rosa?”I sat down slowly, crossing my legs, letting the moment sink in.“A lot happened, Patra.

136. Not what I expected

Patra’s POV I couldn’t stop biting my fingernails. I was furious, restless, and worst of all, I had no answers to the questions spinning in my mind.What company did Rosa even have?How did she become a partner?Did the shareholders really vote her into that position?And now she had the audacity to treat me like I was nothing.Me.I sat at my desk, reduced to her PA, waiting on her, and running errands like a maid. This was not how I imagined my day would go, and by evening, I was already on the edge of losing my mind.As if that wasn’t enough, she had to flaunt him too. Holding Alex like he was some prize, and walking past me like I didn’t exist.Everyone knew Alex was a fuckboy. He wasn’t faithful. He wasn’t special. And yet she had somehow found a way to monopolise him.And a partner now?I still couldn’t believe it.The internal circular made my anger worse. Kane Tech was expanding internationally, and Rosa now held a major share.I watched her walk past me, my entire body tremb

137. I wasn't the problem

Evelyn’s POV She was everywhere.In my mansion.In my company.In my office.Sitting on my shares.And now, she had taken over my phone too.Everywhere I looked, people were praising her like she was something rare, something special. They called her deserving. They called her brilliant.Deserving of what?I bit down hard on my lip, anger burning through me as security escorted me out of the company.My company.I shot the guard a cold look. “You’ll be the first to go when I become CEO.”I stepped into my car and slammed the door. “Start the car,” I snapped at the driver.I sank into the seat, gripping my phone as I scrolled through post after post about her.Each word fueled me and each praise made my chest tighten.My fingers moved fast across the screen as I typed:She doesn’t deserve to be a partner at Kane Tech. She’s a social climber. A gold digger and a fraud.I hit send.Another post followed immediately.She didn’t even handle the Valis project.I stared at the screen, my ja

138. From perfect morning to heartbreaking evening

Rosa's POV We took the private entry at the back of the hospital on our way to see Old Man Kane. What we didn’t expect was a group of reporters who had figured out our route, waiting for us.They swarmed immediately, throwing us into confusion."Is Evelyn Kane’s claim true that your father is lying in a hospital room? Is that why you’re taking a private entry?""How severe is his dementia? Has the shrewd businessman really gone insane?"Alex’s jaw tightened. The reporters stood firm, blocking our way."We deserve an answer, Alex Kane."I bit my lips. No one would want news of his father’s condition out in public, especially with how cruel people could be. They wouldn't waste time in roasting the Kanes. "Whatever Evelyn said is not true. My father is retired and doing fine," Alex said."Then why are you here?" Another asked.He had no answer. I squeezed his hand, stepping slightly forward. I didn’t let go."We wanted to keep it private for a while," I said. My hand slid to my stomach

139. Was that a chef's cap?

Rosa's POV The only thing that stopped me from giving Evelyn a piece of my mind was that she wasn’t home when I arrived. She had been spreading a crazy, and fake narrative about me to the public, tagging me as a gold digger who rose to success by sleeping with the boss.It wasn’t entirely true.I had slept with Alex… once. We were both drunk and heartbroken. But I had worked hard on the Valis project, and it had been so good that it gained international attention. It was time to tell my truth.I stepped into the room I now shared with Alex and collapsed onto the couch, mentally and emotionally drained more than physically. Old Man Kane’s attitude still burned in the back of my mind, but I was more worried about Charles’s silence regarding the news of my pregnancy with Alex Kane.I had five days left, and I was desperate to take control. I needed to make the moves. I needed something strong enough to keep Charles Baker away from my life for good. I didn't want to ever see him or hear

140. It was feminine but calmer

Rosa's POV I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.I turned to Alex. He was frowning. “Evelyn didn’t come home.”“She knows what she’s done,” he said, unbothered. “She knows I’ll reprimand her. It doesn’t matter how long she stays away. She owes the store, the staff, and the public an apology for what she did.”I nodded, though my thoughts drifted.I didn’t know Evelyn well, but I knew she was defiant. She had gone live and caused that scene knowing the consequences. She didn’t strike me as someone who would run away after doing what she did.Still, the events of the day soon pushed the thought aside. I was back in my office, arranging it to my taste. New furniture, fresh roses, and carefully selected accessories slowly turned the space into something that felt like mine. This time, I didn't feel like I had walked into a space that wasn't mine, it felt comfortable instead and when I glanced at my name on the plaque, it felt good.Later, the top executives met with the
