Weeks passed and they were busy, loud, and full of activities.Alexander’s days were packed again with meetings that filled his schedule from morning till night, with deals that had been delayed, now reopened. New investors showed interest, some out of curiosity, others because confidence in Wade Holdings had returned. The icon, Alexander Wade, had risen again.The company’s numbers began to rise, and the board members couldn't be more pleased.Alexander noticed it, but he did not let it get to his head. He stayed focused, calm and firm. His presence in the office was steady now, no longer heavy with anger or silence. Employees were more relaxed, and people were now freer around him.Outside the building, reporters waited every day. Alexander at some point wondered if they had nothing to do, then he remembered that they were actually doing their job. He and Rosa had already answered questions upon questions but they kept repeating them to his face. As if waiting for a slip up.At firs

Days later, they had returned to the mansion and normal life continued.That morning, Rosa sat on the couch in the living room, her legs tucked beneath her as she held a cup of tea warming her hands, reading a magazine. She chuckled, as she read a funny quote from an actress who was accused of money laundering. The entertainment industry was surely filled with unique people.Alexander came down the stairs dressed in a dark suit, exuding his undeniable masculine charm. He looked sharp and composed, every inch the businessman the world knew. But Rosa could still see the softness beneath it, the part of him that only belonged to her. She smiled. Only to her.“You’re leaving early for work today,” she said gently.He walked over and leaned down, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “I’ll try not to stay too long.”She smiled. “Words I'm so used to hearing but never happens."“And sometimes,” he said with a small grin, “I almost mean it.”She laughed softly. “Be careful, okay? I wanted to pa

If anxiety and happiness was a person, it had Rosa's face. The next morning she was so hyperactive that Alexander kept on laughing.She hadn’t slept much the previous nights. Her thoughts had kept circling, returning again and again to the same place. Her father, New Jersey, everything.She turned on her side as she laid on the bed and reached for her phone.There was only one person she wanted to call right now.nHer aunt.Rosa hesitated for a second, then pressed the call button. The phone rang twice before it was answered.“Rosa?” Nardine’s familiar voice came through, warm and concerned. “Is everything alright?”Rosa swallowed. “Auntie… good morning. How are you?”“I'm good, my dear. And you?”“Okay too,” she took a deep breath.“Hm? Are you sure everything is okay?”“Yeah,” Rosa nodded, “well I have news.”There was a pause. “You’re worrying me, Rosa. What happened?”Rosa closed her eyes. “Alexander found my father.” “What?!”“Yeah. Exactly my reaction. He’s alive,” Rosa said so

The city of New York was restless. Well, did it ever rest? It moved faster than usual, as though it knew something big was coming. And sure it was.Headlines whispered it, billboards hinted at it and social media screamed it. Alexander Wade was getting married to Rosa Hamon, on September fifth. Not just married. Married again, for real this time.The news traveled like fire. From office buildings to cafés, from taxis to apartments. People talked, speculated and waited. It was being called the wedding of the century.And weeks before the ceremony, the city began to receive guests.Rosa stood by the large window of the living room, watching cars line up at the front of the mansion. Her heart beat faster with every passing second.“They’re here,” she whispered.Alexander walked up behind her, resting his hands on her shoulders. “Are you nervous?”She chuckled. “No. I just can't wait to meet them again."He smiled. “They are just seconds away."Outside, the first car door opened.Nardine

The most fun part of the wedding? The wedding night, of course.But tonight, a surprise awaited them, one that would have to halt the icing of the cake. The wedding night.Rosa and Alexander had retired to their suite, laughing over the silly jokes they kept making.Rosa came out of the bathroom and moved toward the window, wearing her robe. She chuckled softly. It was a night robe Nicole had personally chosen for her.Her wedding dress had been carefully stored away. Her hair was loose now, falling freely over her shoulders. She held a glass of water in her hands but hadn’t taken a sip.Alexander stood a few steps away, watching her quietly. When she turned and met his gaze, he winked at her, making her cheeks flush red.But there was more on Alexander’s mind than what Rosa imagined. He had known this moment would come. He had planned it, yet knowing didn’t make it any easier.A soft knock sounded at the door.Rosa frowned. “Who could that be?” she asked lightly. Who would disturb t
