Chapter 51

Dante's POV "How do you know I'm wearing blue? And why the fuck are you calling me?" I half yell. "Don't throw tantrums, Dante. Though it looks good on you... I mean, you look sexy handsome when you're pissed," she blurts, getting me more and more pissed. The way she sounds makes it seem like she's seeing my face, and at a point, I can't help but look around, probably to see if she instructed the little devil to place a camera in his room. "Don't bother looking around, hubby. You won't find the camera even if you search from now until tomorrow; it's not where you'd expect it to be," she chuckles victoriously. "So you think? You should know it's my house, and mind you, we did it together... the camera, I mean. I was the one who placed it; you just happened to get the log to it. But not to worry, I'll be removing it this moment. Let's see if you can still brag about seeing me," I hiss loudly.&n

Chapter 52

ROSENext day.I take the final bite of the pancake before dumping the rest back on the plate.Arabella is at the other end of the table munching hers like she isn't going anywhere. She's already dressed for school and running late, but doesn't look bothered.Yesterday was one hell of a hectic night. Convincing Arabella that she isn't ugly wasn't easy. She stood in front of the mirror and found fault with literally everything she had, from her tiny blue eyeballs to her V-shaped mouth, her collarbone, and no matter how hard I tried, she still insisted that one of her ears was bigger than the other. She then turned her back to the mirror and complained about how flat it was. She even told me her classmates have bigger boobs and that hers is the smallest of all. It was stressful but worth it. After everything, she agreed with me and finally went to bed.I thought it was over until exactly twelve when she woke me up to ask about the plan I have against Logan. I don't even bother answering

Chapter 53

ROSEAfter my dad leaves, I can no longer focus. No matter how much I hate my sister, I still don't wish her death. I only want her to suffer for her actions and learn from them. If there's anybody that should die, then it should be Killian; he's done way too much to remain alive.I call my PA to reschedule the meeting I have with the client. At first, the client isn't happy because he claims he won't be available tomorrow, but after I explain the situation to him, he agrees.I hurriedly flip through the files my PA brings to my desk, and one of the cases I see really catches my attention; it's a case nearly similar to mine.The dead lady found out about her husband's infidelity—not just with anyone, but with her best friend. Thankfully, she told her parents how she caught her husband and best friend in bed, and two days later, she was found dead in her home. Her husband and best friend were said to be out of town when it happened, which made it more suspicious, but there was no evide

Chapter 54

ROSE For a straight five minutes, I can't comprehend what's going on. Dante just said he wasn't the one who called. If it wasn't Dante, then who did?After a while, I finally pause. Then I turn to the woman who has the camera."And what's going on here? What's the meaning of this nonsense? Is this how you all go about harassing people?" I ask, hoping to get a response, but instead, what I get is silence. None of them say a word to me. They just stare at me like I'm doing something I shouldn't be doing.Seeing that the lady with the camera isn't even ready to stop, I take a step closer to her, and the next thing I do is take the camera and smash it.They all gasp; the one who had the camera nearly attacks, but the other behind her holds her back, telling her that picking a fight with me isn't the best thing to do. Thankfully, they already know I've got no chill, meaning they know I can beat them up without giving it a second thought."She's rude. Look how she smashed our camera; she d

Chapter 55

ROSENeither Dante nor I say a word after we leave the company.He manages to dismiss them without involving security. He simply asks why they are still at their husbands' house, implying that they could have cheated on their husbands to see if they'd be accepted after years of being unfaithful. In the end, he manages to clarify what really happened, and it turns out that Lavender only told them her husband divorced her because of me.The leader promises to call Lavender and warn her about lying to them next time. They all apologize before they finally leave.After they leave, Dante insists I follow him to his office, to which I decline. I tell him I'm not ready to receive more insults.Then he suggests we grab lunch and that's it; we're on our way."Have you heard what happened to your sister? Tell me, what do you plan to do about it?" he asks, finally breaking the awkward silence."I don't think there's anything I can do. I'll just pay her a visit," I reply briefly."Don't you feel

Chapter 56

ROSE "Advising me is a waste of time because I'm not ready to take any of your advice. So I'll just suggest you keep it for my sister. Maybe she'll think twice before betraying me next time." I pause before going in fully.Marie is seated, her back resting against the wall with her eyes closed. I just hope she's not plotting an escape because the police are literally everywhere. So escaping won't be easy."Long time no see, dear sister." She quickly opens her eyes to look at me.Immediately our eyes meet, she freezes. Yeah, she should. That's how it should be."Good morning... Sorry, evening... I mean afternoon," she stutters. Seeing me alone is enough of a shock to her; she never expects I'll come to see her. But I do anyway."I hear what happens to you..." I pause; so does she."Yeah... And you're here to mock me?" She asks, giggling."Yeah... I'm here to mock you; I'm not hiding that fact. Now you know what it feels like to lose a child? You know how it feels to feel empty? You kn

Chapter 57

ROSE The doctor walks in with Dante behind him. "What's going on here, Rose? Why's your sister crying?" the doctor asks as he adjusts his eyeglasses. "Ask her, Doc. You have eyes, so I believe you can see her here. Go ahead and ask why she's crying. I can't remember touching her or doing a thing to her," I reply. The old man slowly turns to Marie, whose head is still bent toward the bed. "Why are you crying? You're fine a few minutes ago. So tell me, why are you crying all of a sudden?" If the old guy isn't dumb, he knows that something happens. "I'm fine. I'm not crying," she replies, quickly wiping her face with her gown. "That's a lie, Marie. I see tears in your eyes. Tell me, does Rose say anything bad to you?" You might be wondering why the doctor seems interested in our case; it's because he's Dad's friend. He is among the people wh

Chapter 58

ROSE "What do you mean by that? She's telling you her story, so what do you want me to do?" I ask, throwing daggers at my dad. I pray he doesn't get on my nerves because... "Your sister is suffering in jail, so do something about it. She already loses the baby; why are you still mad at her? Isn't the baby the problem? Now that the baby is gone, you can just let everything go so we can live as a happy family like we used to," my mom says, trying to pat my shoulder, but I quickly move back. It seems the old lady is missing her part or she takes something she's not supposed to. "You mean I should go to court and tell them she's innocent? Then sign and spend three months in prison for her freedom? Can you even hear yourself?" I snap at my mom, trying really hard to keep my cool. "It's just three months, Rose. It's nothing compared to the pain your sister endures and the pain she's yet to endure. She's your twin sister, for crying out loud! She's your blood, and besides, family does lit

Chapter 59

DANTE I watch as the police lead Marie out. I'm waiting for the past twenty minutes; I hear every single thing they're saying, and I must confess it isn't easy for Rose. The way her parents make it seem like it's her duty to keep her sister safe angers me. They literally want her to go to court to plead on behalf of her sister and then be locked up for three months afterward. Her mom keeps repeating that it's nothing. At first, I think she's going too far when she tells me she wants to lock her sister up, but now I see she deserves it and even more. The part where her dad says he'll make sure she goes to court nearly has me pushing the door. I feel like going in to curse at the man. What kind of a father does that to his own child? Soon, his wife steps out in tears. She walks past me, and an idea crosses my mind: tell her a piece of my mind. "You still dare to cry after everything you do?" I ask, and she immediately pauses to look at me. She should. "What is that supposed to

Chapter 60

Chapter 60DANTE"That's enough, Jordan. You're only supposed to say what you're asked when you're asked." I cut him off, not giving him the chance to finish what he has to say. He literally has nothing good in his mouth to say at the moment."What do I do wrong? I'm only telling Arabella so she can be aware. Aunt Rose already knows about it, so what's wrong with me telling Arabella? I even tell my classmates that my dad gets me a new mom who will follow me to my graduation party. I tell them she's beautiful, but they just won't believe me. I wish it's possible for Aunt Rose to follow me tomorrow to see them." He rushes his words. Now it's so obvious this child wants to make me look dumb, or should I say stupid."You're stressing her out, Jordan. Let's just go home already. We'll talk about these things later. For now, let's go get you something to eat," I say, hoping he buys the idea."How about we go to your house, Aunt Rose?" He calls Rose's attention."What? My house?" Rose asks w
