Chapter one

Chapter oneRosaline's POV:“Lady Rosie! Incoming!”A loud shout is all the warning I get before I notice the donut flying right for my head. I step to the side and catch it on the tip of my flats. “Saved! But I doubt it's still edible,” I say with a smile, turning to glance at the culprit. Jonas approaches me, a shy smile on his boyish face. He picks the fallen donut. He's holding a box of donuts which he offers me, pink laced across his cheeks. “I saved the strawberry jam one for you,”“Thank you so much, darling. But unfortunately, sweets aren't my favourite.”“Aww that's the eighth time this week?” Violet appears and slings an arm over his shoulder. “I love strawberry jam. Can I —”Jonas snatches the donut and stuffs it into his mouth. “Fuck off,”The rest of the office bursts out laughing. I smile too, shaking my head at their antics. “I have to go now, I'm sure Mr —”“Miss Carter!” A loud deep voice shakes the very foundation of the office. Everyone winces, and murmurs rise i

Chapter Two

Chapter two Rosaline's POV: The next morning, I'm seated in his private office. He sits across from me, the contract laid out in front of us, accompanied by light snacks and drinks. "Don't you need an heir?" I ask the one thing that's been on my mind all night. Mr Sylvester chokes on his expensive wine. I hand him a hanky and stand back as he recollects himself. "An heir?!" He echoes, his eyes red rimmed from the coughing fit. When I see his okay, I return to my seat. "Yes. You're Alaric Sylvester. Surely you want more out of this marriage than...I don't know, the title of a married man?" He straightens his back, works his tie and clears his throat. "Do not jump into rash conclusions. I have no need of heirs ..and not from you." I shrug. "I don't mind, honestly. A kid would sell this whole marriage thing faster. And we can share custody." His eyes narrow and he leans forward, "if I didn't know better, Miss Carter, I'd say you were trying to get into my bed." I blink. Th

Chapter Three

Chapter threeAlaric's POV:My mother and I stare at miss Carter right in front of my room. She blinks. "I think I got lost." Got lost or snooping around?My mother smiles and takes Carter's hands in hers. "Finding your way around here can be trouble for our guest. Come."I watch them move back to the dinning room and yesterday replays in my head. Was she shameless or just didn't care? It was difficult to tell that from Miss Carter. Boring ol her who always had her nose in her job. She did not decline. Despite all she knew about me. Despite all people said about me. All she asks is if she'd be paid overtime?! Fucking payment!My skin crawls at the thought of living in the same house with this woman. She always gets on my nerves. It was soul biting to think about having to deal with it at a closer range. I stare as her and my mother disappear into sight and I rub my temples. I always judge people by what I see but I did not see this coming.Did not think it.Outside, my mother hu

Chapter Four

Chapter fourRosaline's POV:"It's lunch already." Violet yawns and walks up to my table. "Stop being such a workaholic lady Rosie."I exhale and look up to see her and the rest of the team waiting. My typing ceases and I stare from one face to another. "Lunch." I giggle. "Yeah. Lunch." Violet hooks her hand with mine and drags me along with her. We settle in our usual lunch restaurant. I order spicy pasta with pepper soup and just water. Jonas wrinkles his face at my choice of food. "How do you digest so much spice lady Rosie?"I shrug. "Yeah." Amara says. "You only ever eat spicy food. Why?""Every other thing just tastes like... Ash.""That's weird." Violet mumbles. "Anywho... Today's bill's on me!""Why?" Jonas blurts out. "That's weirder than lady Rosie's love for spice."Her honey coloured eyes begins to twinkle and she tucks her hair behind her ear."Is that..."Jonas throws his hands over his mouth and gasps like his life force was being sucked by a supernatural entity. "Y

Chapter Five

Chapter fiveRosaline's POV:My eyes scan through the papers. "Alaric Sylvester gets married at the Fontaine hall with just friends and family to his secretary Rosaline Carter....." Mia and violet scroll through their phones. "This is the talk of the century!" They squeal with giggles. I raise my head with wide eyes and contemplate my answer. Did Mr Sylvester know this?He walks in and everyone freezes. Violet hides her phone behind her back and so does Mia. His stare moves from us to the confetti litter on the floor, then to me and back to them. "Is this an amusement park? Or a club?"Silence. Cold whooshes over the entire place and I feel goosebumps and see Jonas visibly shiver. I exhale and walk over to Mr Sylvester. He frowns and steps back. I hand him the papers. His frown deepens and he takes it from me. He chokes and Jonas rushes to open a bottle of water for him. "Here sir."He drinks the water and hiccups. We bite down our laughter, and I hand him a handkerchief. "Wh

Chapter Six

Chapter SixAlaric's POV:She hit me."I am so sorry Mr Sylvester.""No." I reply with a whisper. "We aren't that close to care. I understand."I stand up and leave the room, shutting the door behind me. My hand moves to my nose and it's bleeding. Resting an ice pouch on my nose, I head to sit on one of the couches.I stare at the blank screen and back at her still closed door. The door clicks open and I turn my focus back to the turned off television.Then on second thought, I turn to her."How often do you get stomach pains?""This is a first.""Then you should see a doctor.""For a mere stomach pain?""You hit me because of that mere stomach pain."She exhales. "I apologize Mr Sylvester...""And why do you call me that even when it's just the both of us?"She could keep it up in public or wherever. Couldn't she be a little less formal here?"Would you ever consider calling me Rosaline?"No. Never. "Fine."I pick up my phone and head to my room. She didn't even notice that my nose

Chapter Seven

Chapter SevenRosaline's POV:"No."I snap my head to Mr Sylvester. "See?!" Mr Fontaine says in triumph.I would not lose this challenge so easily. Ethan had to go to Harvard and mom's bills had to be paid."He can't even kiss her!" Mr Fontaine rises to his feet and turns to Mr Sylvester's father. " This shows..."I exhale and pull Mr Sylvester in by his tie. I place my mouth on his and nibble on his lower lip. I stand from my seat with my lips still on his, and sit on his lap.His hands remain by his side and I can feel his muscles tense. Backing the entire council, I pull away. "Place your hand on my waist." I whisper. "Now."He places his hands on my waist and I place my thumb on his lips, lean in and kiss it. "That's enough." Mr Sylvester's father says and I pull away and stand from Mr Sylvester's laps.I give the entire council a sweet smile. "I apologize. I lost control for a moment."Mr Sylvester's father groans and stands. "The meeting ends here."We all stand while he lea

Chapter Eight

Chapter EightAlaric's POV:"Fine." Nora pouts. "I told him about our son."The slow song in the background fades and is replaced with ringing. I blink over and over again."You..." I can't even get the words out. I get up from my seat and drag her. "How dare you?!""Come on Ric. ""Come on?!" I say through clenched teeth. "Do you know how much I tried to keep that from my father?"She shrugs. "I thought that would make him... You know..." "Stay away from me and my marriage Nora. I'm warning you.""Your marriage?" She giggles. "She's not your type Ric. You hate women like her. Your secretary?" She moves closer to me and places her hands on my chest. "She wouldn't threaten you... " She whispers and trails her hands down. "What's in it for you?"I grab her arm just as it's about to get to my belt. "Go away Nora. While I'm being nice. "I drop her hands and love back to the party. Miss Carter still sits on her seat except she had changed her gown to the colour of the rest of the part

Chapter Nine

Chapter NineRosaline's POV:I open the pot of steaming noodles and a smile crawls to my face. From where I stand, I can perceive the pepper.Perfect.Thunder rumbles outside and more spears fall on the roof making the night ever so surreal. I walk out of the kitchen to find a drenched Mr Sylvester walking in. Didn't he go out with his car?I give a little bow and walk to the couch where my laptop sits. The spice and the hot food is a little bit too much but that's how I like it. The spicier the better. Seconds later, a weird feeling develops behind me. I turn to find Mr Sylvester still standing in his drenched clothes. Taking off my glasses, I widen my eyes. Did he want to eat? But he hated spicy food. Perhaps the rain?"Do you want some?"His brows furrow and he stares at me openly. "Oh... Sorry."I pause. He hadn't given me anything on Jennifer. "What of what I asked for?"Silence. "Jennifer Ford. Did you find her."His eyes that look glazed clear up and a scoff rips free f

Chapter Ten

Chapter TenAlaric's POV:"Miss Carter?" I whisper but she's not responding. "Miss Carter?" A hiss leaves my lips but still no reply. "You come to us two days after we decline your merge offer to do what Mr Sylvester? "I stare at the black haired man who had no regard for punctuality."To request of you that you withdraw your reply."Where was this woman? Had she fallen asleep while waiting for the meeting to start? "We will not. You don't just crash a meeting without prior notice. Is that how you do at Royalty?"I exhale and smile at him. "If you have issues about why you don't want to work with us, you can lay them on the table. ""It's our choice to decide who to work with for our benefit.""And you think working with Royalty is not to your benefit?""Your father is full of greed."And you are full of malice. It has blinded you that you cannot see the long-run. "You are working with me and not my father.""You are his son. That means greed runs in your blood."This freaking pips
