Alexander had left early for work the next day. Rosa, who had woken up early, could hear the click of his door as he walked out and distant murmur of him speaking to someone on the phone, and also him talking to Mrs. Dill. Then silence. She sat up, fiddling with the edge of her pillow as she stared at the clock. It read 9:30. Mrs. Dill had asked if she would come down for breakfast moments earlier, but she refused, wanting to eat in her room.Her mind kept wandering off to Alexander. A blush crept to her cheeks. She didn't understand though.Was she…was she missing him?Her hands flew to her mouth.Oh Rosa!Maybe… maybe she should go to him. The idea struck in her mind. Her brows raised. It was both uncertain and thrilling. But, what harm was there in visiting her husband at work? Couples did that. Real ones, anyway. And Mrs. Dill also persuaded her to go.She felt giddy at the thought.Yes, she would do it. Standing up, she decided to prepare. She took her bath, dressed carefull

Daphne stepped out of the elevator with the same flawless confidence she had weaponized years ago. With her long curly brown hair, and expensive coat draped over her arm like she was in the middle of a photoshoot, she drew attention to herself effortlessly. Her blue eyes scanned the area like a hawk. She chuckled slightly. How lovely.Daphne Cooper. The face of the fashion brand, ‘Sattire.’ The elegant supermodel.No one could dispute her beauty. She had stolen the hearts of many across the state. Daphne had joined the modelling career at fifteen and during a local modeling show in her high school party, officials in Sattire took notice of her and they immediately took her in. Now, fifteen years later, she had become a household name.Her heels clicked on the floors with the arrogance of someone who believed the world revolved around her. Alexander’s jaw ticked as his gaze landed on her. She hadn't changed. One bit.For a moment, she didn’t see him. She scanned the area, her lips cur

Mrs. Dill couldn't believe her eyes. She couldn't believe Alexander! She never expected this. At all.Never in a million years would she ever believe that Alexander would fall for Rosa. Alexander was a man that knew his aim and worked towards it. That's why she was more concerned about Rosa falling for the handsome CEO, than him actually falling for her.She pursed her lips and walked out quietly.Her eyes narrowed. If his mother had been scared of losing her son, she definitely should be praying now. Because her son had already been drawn to the wield of Rosa.Her lips twitched. She didn't know why she always had this unsettling feeling whenever she was with the girl. Her face, her voice, her behavior, everything about her seemed familiar, as if experiencing Deja Vu.She was good with memory. So, why was it hard for her to place exactly where and when she had met the Hamon girl?Was her good girl act all pretense? Did she actually have ulterior motives? Alexander said his car had hit

Alexander sat alone in his office, his elbows propped on the desk. He massaged his temples gently. It had been a long day. But Alexander liked it. It kept his mind off things, or did it?His thoughts refused to stay still. They kept swirling and circling and snapping and pulling like stubborn threads he couldn’t cut. All because of one person. Who didn't even deserve it.He exhaled sharply and tried, once again, to focus on his work. Reports, logistics memos, new partnership proposals, contracts to sign. Sometimes, his work could be so overwhelming, other days, he would wonder what he came to the office to do.His eyes went back to the documents. He read the same sentence three times and absorbed none of it. The third time he read it, he even jumbled the words together.God.His pen tapped against the desk, each click echoing in the silence.Why was she in his head?Why now?What for?He leaned back in his chair, jaw tight, his fingers curling around his pen. He had gotten over her.

Rosa laid on her bed, allowing her tears to streak down, wetting her pillows. It didn't help that she was on her monthly flow.Why was this happening? Why?Alexander had an ex. It seemed logical. But, she was never aware, well, they weren't that close for him to discuss such private topics with her. But still, she felt betrayed…in a way she couldn't fathom.Was she feeling insecure?Daphne was so pretty. In fact, no man could reject her. She was…. perfect.And then there was her, little plain Rosa. She softly laughed. Unfortunate, wasn't it?She must be so delusional to think Alexander would choose her over Daphne.What if the reason Alexander…. became intimate with her, was because he just…missed it…not that he actually liked her?Rosa's eyes darted. It would be it. There's no way he found her attractive. His type of women were Daphne, that's why she still had an effect on him.She was such a fool.She laughed again, but this time, with more tears streaking down again.Alexander…like
