And Rosa did follow him to work the next day. His employees were surprised to see her but they knew with all the blaring news, she had to make an experience.Rosa visited the office again the day after.Daphne hadn't pulled any strings again. But the media was still buzzing, especially with Rosa's frequent visits to Alexander's office. Now the following week, some reporters tried to poke their nose and ask eye-roll worthy questions, but security made sure to protect Rosa from the blinding lights and hungry gossip mongers.“Is it true that your husband is having an affair with Daphne?”Rosa shot a glare at the reporter.“How do you feel with the sudden appearance of his ex, especially since you both are just newlyweds?”“People keep wondering the nature of their ‘business’. Do you think there's nothing wrong with him doing business with the woman he once got involved with?”The questions felt like acid being poured on her skin and she just gave a tight smile, deciding to answer them w

–Happy New Year, my lovely readers! –The after-party came a few hours later and everyone buzzed with the rhythm and vibes in the air. Music banged through the halls, and guests drifted in clusters, drunk on admiration for Daphne and everything her agency had just showcased. Rosa stayed close to Alexander, though not feeling any vibes at all. She felt withdrawn and tired. Suddenly a thought seeped into her mind. The event was for three days, which meant she and Alexander would sleep in the resort. In the same room.Her cheeks flushed at the sudden giddiness and she immediately downed the glass of champagne she held.Her face burned as she scrunched her face. Champagne, definitely not for her.Alexander noticed her discomfort and pulled her close. “Rosa.. what's the issue?”She looked up at him and smiled goofily. She couldn't tell him she was being a jerk head.It was long past midnight when the festivities transformed into smaller gatherings.Alexander slipped away with Daphne

The second day finished smoothly. At night, Rosa laid on the bed, watching Alexander lay on the couch. It was supposed to comfort her since she was still shy to share a bed with him, but ironically, it irritated her that he did it. He didn't even try to make an effort to make them feel comfortable lying together, he just laid on the couch.Her mouth twisted in displeasure. Right now his gentlemanliness annoyed her. She didn't even know what was wrong with her. She just felt angry.“Alexander," she called softly, a contrast to her rage.But she got no reply.She frowned and stood up to look at him better. His face was faced away from her but she could notice the steady rise and fall of his chest. Her jaw dropped. He had fallen asleep?!Was he that exhausted? Well, he didn't get a good night's rest the previous day. Her lips twitched. How satisfying.She sighed and dropped herself back on the bed.Little did she know the major reason he decided to sleep on the couch was to control his

Rosa stared at her with disdain. Everything, everything had changed ever since this woman's arrival. It was obvious she wanted to break them apart. And Alexander had to…..She gritted her teeth and without thinking, she strode into the garden.Daphne turned, sensing a presence, and she smiled, when she saw Rosa. How convenient and expected.Her smile was not surprising. It was not even guilty. It was a victorious one. And Rosa could see she was shamelessly pleased with whatever she had done.“Well,” Daphne said lightly, eyes moving over Rosa from head to toe. “Fancy seeing you here.”Rosa’s fingers curled at her sides. “You sent the picture.” Obviously, it was her.She wasted no time beating around the bush.The staff beside Daphne silently excused himself, sensing some tension.Daphne tilted her head, feigning innocence. “Did I? I lose track sometimes.” She batted her lashes, annoying Rosa the more.“You planned it,” Rosa said, her voice low but steady. “The pool. The kiss. All of i

Rosa finally came out of the bathroom after hours of lying there. She unlocked the door gently to see Alexander squatting beside the door, his head resting slightly on the wall, with his eyes closed.Rosa's breath hitched. Watching him brought more pain in her heart and wasting no time, she swiftly made her way out of the bathroom.Rosa couldn’t stay.The walls of the suite felt like they were closing in, thick with memories that now burned instead of comforted. She grabbed her phone, her bag, anything, and fled before Alexander could wake up and try to stop her.The corridor was empty.She ran, barefoot against the cold tiles, the towel still clutched around her. Her heart pounded so loudly, it drowned out her thoughts. She didn’t know where she was going. She only knew she had to get away.She pushed through a service door and found herself in an unused lounge overlooking the far end of the resort grounds. No music, no people. Just dim lights and the distant chirps of birds.Her le
