Chapter 141

ROSEI force my eyes open since the phone won't stop ringing."Who could be calling me this early?" I grumble, dragging the duvet aside.I get up and grab the phone from the table beside the bed, and just like I expect, it is my mom.Why is she calling me this early? Probably here to nag as usual.I put the phone back on the bed and pull the covers up, but then it rings again.After the third and fourth ring, I can no longer ignore it, so I pick up and answer the call."So you've been intentionally ignoring my calls!" she yells into the phone."Why did you call?" I ask flatly."Don't talk to me like that, Rose. I call you three times; why don't you pick up?" she asks authoritatively."Please, it's too early for this. If you have nothing meaningful to say to me, I'll have to end the call. I should have known taking your call would only ruin my day," I blurt, letting out a short laugh."That's not how to talk to your mom, Rose! Have some manners!" she fires."Why did you call?" I ask ag

Chapter 142

NARRATORAt the HospitalMrs. Webster walks around restlessly after Rose ends the call.The doctor says they have five hours to do whatever they have to do. He even offers help by finding them a donor, but they don't want any of that. They've made up their minds that the only donor they want is Rose, and the Rose in question isn't even ready to help."Mom, what did she say?" Marie asks immediately as Mrs. Webster enters."By now, you should know how mean your sister can be. Even after I explained to her that the donor in question is suffering from a fatal illness, and that his kidney might later affect your dad, even though the doctor guaranteed it wouldn't, she still refused. In fact, she ended the call before I could finish what I had to say," Mrs. Webster tells Marie."The reason she's acting this way is that you're taking it too lightly with her. He's our dad, so it's our duty to do this for him. Since we can't use mine, then she's next in line. Why can't she just let go of the pa

NARRATORMrs. Webster hesitates for a while before she nods."I think there's sense in what you just said. But how do we make it happen? Because Rose will never agree to that," Mrs. Webster tells Marie, who chuckles."What makes you think we're going to tell her first?" Marie asks."What do you mean?" Mrs. Webster questions instead of giving an answer."You know Rose will never agree to do such a thing, so it's best if we do it without her consent," Marie explains."That's fine then... just think of a way to lure her here," Mrs. Webster says, bringing out her phone, but then the door opens, revealing the doctor."There is no need to do that. I've been outside for a while now, and I heard everything you said. I'm sorry if you feel like I'm eavesdropping, but the discussion caught my attention. I just had to stand outside and let you both finish," the doctor says, walking in fully."It's okay. Just make sure you mind your business. Whatever you heard here isn't your concern. The only th

NARRATORSeeing that the doctor isn't ready to agree with them, he rejects the idea again. The doctor threatens to report their plan to the police; he grows tired of trying to convince them to abandon what they have in mind.An hour later, they realize the only way forward is to allow the doctor to use the donor he originally suggested.Mrs. Webster and Marie can be seen standing at the entrance of the operating room, waiting for the doctor to come out."Don't you think he's taking too long already? Are you sure everything is alright?" Marie asks, as though the older woman has any way of knowing what is going on inside."How will I know if everything is okay when I'm outside with you? Let's just wait till he's done; then he'll come out and discuss it with us," Mrs. Webster tells Marie, reassuring her that everything is still under control."Rose — is she still coming?"After they find a donor, Mrs. Webster calls Rose and tells her about it.At first, Rose pays no attention and shows n

Chapter 145

NARRATORRose smirks mischievously, adjusting her glass."You came here to mock us, seriously? You could have stayed home if you know you are not here to help the situation," Mrs. Webster says.Rose scoffs, turns, and begins walking away."You're seriously going to leave?" Marie interrupts."Didn't Mom just say I should leave? I'm leaving; why are you making a fuss about it?" Rose asks, letting out a silly chuckle."You're doing this because you know we need your help. Must you always act this way every time?" Mrs. Webster yells."You need my help? Why would you be needing my help? I don't think there's anything I'd be able to help you with at this moment. I only came so it wouldn't look like I'm being disrespectful. I have other things to do too, so anything you have to say, be brief with it," Rose rolls her eyes."Mom asked you to come over for the kidney transplant, but you refused. We had to hire someone else to do it. You know we need to pay the person, and currently, we don't ha

Chapter 146

ROSEMy eyes widen immediately when my mom pulls a gun from her handbag, pointing it straight at my forehead."You really think there are no other ways to make you comply? I wanted to go easy on you, but your stubbornness wouldn't let you do as you're told. I knew you wouldn't agree to it even before I called, so I had a plan B. I had to bring this with me. Are you doing the transfer, or do you want it the other way?" Mom asks, placing her fingers on the trigger."You really want to do this? You brought a gun along with you to force me into doing what I don't want?" I ask."Don't try to act stubborn, Rose. Mom is trying her best to stay calm with you. It's just for you to pay for the transplant, nothing else. You have more than enough to do it, so why the tantrum?" Marie giggles."What makes you think I have the money? I don't have it. Haven't I made myself clear enough? Or do you want me to go and steal so I can pay for the transplant? None of you cared to ask if I had what it takes

Chapter 147

ROSE The gun slips from her grip and lands on the floor.She looks at me, speechless, as my shoulder drips blood. The fact that I was struggling with her but had the shot take me in my shoulder instead of my forehead is shocking."Mom, what the hell have you done!?" Marie yells, her eyes wide open."I didn't mean to; I was just threatening her with the gun, I swear," Mom denies, her hands shaking. She didn't mean to, but she just pulled the trigger. What if the bullet had hit my forehead? Would she stand here and say this to my face?"You didn't mean to? There's literally no reason for you to lie about it. I know you want me dead. So if I hadn't struggled to get the gun from you, I'd be dead by now, right?" I ask, but she doesn't say a word. Instead, she bows her head to the floor."I know what I was doing, Rose; there was no way I was going to kill my own child. I was only doing it to make you do what I wanted. I'm sorry; I didn't know it would turn out this way." Yeah, how would yo

Chapter 148

ROSE Doctor's OfficeI follow the doctor into his office to get my shoulder treated.He insists on calling the cops on my mom for possessing illegal property. The gun in question isn't registered. I have to plead with him to let it slide. Even the hospital security nearly has it rough with them, but I still plead. They are already going through a lot, having to tackle my dad's downfall and his sudden sickness.Marie, at the dead end, denies Mom. When she sees that the doctor is serious about calling the cops, she denies planning anything with Mom. She even says she warned Mom not to bring a gun along, but Mom bluntly refused.Even before she denies it, I know that is how it is going to turn out. There is no way she is going to take the blame — not after what happened the other time.Mom is shocked and has to start cursing at her. Mom says it is Marie who made her bring a gun, that she had no reason to bring a gun if Marie hadn't suggested it.She faces Marie and calls her names; she

Chapter 149

ROSEAfter I hear enough of what they have to say, I go back to the doctor's office.He is just coming in when I knock; the nurse, who has been saying something to him, goes out immediately after I enter.I murmur a greeting to him, then take the seat he gestures to me.He then asks how I am faring before he proceeds to what he has to tell me.He begins by asking who my mom and sister are to me; he even asks if I have ever suspected anything like being an adopted child, to which I say no.Then he asks if I can explain the issues I have with them for them to treat me the way they have been doing. He even happens to know what has been going on in our family: how my parents mistreat me, how Marie goes as far as sleeping with my ex-husband, and how I lock them up.I am expecting him to say something like being disappointed in me for going that far, but then he tells me he likes my courage. He says he admires how I have been handling every single situation. Hearing someone say they trust h

Chapter 150

DANTEI watch her expression change the moment Jordan tells her I have chased Lavender out."When? Didn't she say she's not going to leave? How did you manage to get her to leave?" she asks, finally saying a word to me. She has been acting like I am invisible the whole time."She didn't want to leave at first, but Dad had the guards throw her out," Jordan says. Yeah, I have to tell the guards to do it. There is no way I would be living under the same roof with someone who leaves my house to go sleep with different men. One of my men records her going into a hotel room with the old DPO. It isn't the first time, nor is it the second. They have seen them literally everywhere, and they take pictures and videos of it all.I have told her the night before to pack her things and leave as early as possible, but she thinks I am joking. She wakes up and enters the kitchen to prepare breakfast. She sends out all the maids, claiming I am the one who asks her to.FlashbackI walk into the kitchen
