Rosa’s POVHe stood by the entrance, holding a paper bag and a bouquet that looked expensive enough to pay rent. And when his eyes found mine, they were so warm that it melted my body to the bed. Patra froze. “Oh,” she whispered, close enough for only me to hear. “Lover boy is here.”I bit my lips. She grabbed her bag and added. “I’ll leave you two. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do - actually, do everything I would do.”Then she fled the room.The door closed behind her with a click that excited me. Alex exhaled, like he had been holding his breath since the moment he left to take his father home. Then he walked towards me with that purposeful stride that made my heart misbehave and my thighs burn. “I brought you something to eat,” he said softly. “And this…” he held out the flowers. “So you can get well soon.”’He made it look like I had been run over by a car. He set everything down and sat on the edge of the bed. His hand lifted mine gently. “Let me see,” he said. He studied t

Rosa’s POVMy stomach dropped. “Trending…?” I repeated. “How?”She shook her head. “You need to calm the fuck down first, Rose,” she said. “This will come later.”Later? Not when my heart was already racing. “Just show me, damn it!”She sighed and turned the screen towards me. The headline, in bold, hit first:UNQUALIFIED STAFF AWARDED MAJOR PROJECT. NEPOTISM IN KANE TECH?My eyes flew to the comments as I grabbed the phone from Patra. It wasn’t even up to an hour and someone was already writing nonsense about meThe comments were as worse as the headlines. She used to be a PAA. Everyone knows that.Told you Alex Knae was a trust fund boy running the company like his personal dating app.I can’t believe sex-for-postion still exixsts…especcially at Kane TechThis is why the company is going down. Who hands an important project to aa secretary?Lol. she couldn’t even meet the deadline. My heart shattered. Not because they called me unqualified —it didn’t hurt me becuse I knew I was q

Rosa’s POVThe room fell into silence that should have made me sleep off. I had served Old man Kane his usual dose of morning tea and I had taken my bath. But as I lay in the bed, I couldn’t sleep. My thoughts kept wandering to the tampered documents and wondering who could have done it. It was frightening to imagine that someone had handled the document twice. No other culprit settled in my thoughts except Charles Baker. And it made my skin crawl. I had been with a psycho for five years, and now that I had broken loose from him, he was stalking me. I pushed myself from bed, realizing it was a waste of time. Instead, I wandered around the room, checking the windows for any faulty one. When I was done, I moved to the in-built wardrobe, hoping the mere sight of the luxurious things Alex had bought for me would make me forget about the chilling thought of someone handling a document I had kept well hidden. My fingers brushed along the shelves and drawers at the end of the room, hopin

Rosa’s POVThe blindfold stayed on. I didn’t know how long it had been —minutes, hours, a lifetime? The only thing I knew was, every second of his lips against my body, stretched into something endless. My world was darkness and Alex.I was on my back, my wrists gently pinned above my head with one of his hands, while the other traced lazy, maddening circles on the insides of my thigh. It was never high enough. Never where I wanted him to touch, where the ache was making me squirm. “Rosa,” he spoke against my throat. “Listen to me.”I couldn’t ignore him if I tried. Not when my entire body was tuned to the frequency of his voice. “You’re going to stay perfectly still,” he said, lips brushing my ear. “And you’re going to ask for every single thing you want. Out loud, darling. No hiding. Can you do that?”I nodded. Then I remembered he wanted me speaking. “Yes.”I felt the bed shift as he moved lower, his breath now against the lace between my thighs. I arched without control. He pr

Alex’s POVThe sunlight pierced through the blinds heralding the breaking of dawn. But I didn’t move. Not yet. I was still wrapped in the remnants of last night with Rosa pressed against my skin, the softness of her skin keeping me still in bed. And now, I knew I wanted more than three years. I wanted more than the contract and in ways that paper hadn’t captured. Forever.I wanted forever with Rosa.I rolled over and stared at her glowing form under the morning light while she slept on. I traced my fingers along her hair and thought about how she deserved the world and I was going to give it to her in all the ways I could.An idea popped into my head as my eyes fell on her lips. A grand gesture. Something she would never forget, and would show her that, without a doubt, I was not joking about what I said last night. I sat up and set the plans in motion in my head. I was going to create a new contract, one that was carved from the beating of my heart, the stroke of every word, a p
