All Chapters of The Temporary Mrs. Wade: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Alexander sat with a distraught look on his face. He couldn't believe this was happening. Daphne…. that scheming witch!He knew she planned it all. He cursed under his breath. He was such a fool to have even been cool with her presence beside him. But what had been done had been done. He had fallen into Daphne's trap.Then, he shook his head.No. He couldn't just sit here while Rosa left with her emotions all tumbled up.Alexander didn’t think.The moment the confirmation settled in that Rosa was gone, truly gone, something feral tore loose inside his chest. He grabbed his jacket, his phone, his keys, and stormed out of the resort like the ground itself had betrayed him. He slid into the driver’s seat of his car, slamming the door shut. The engine roared to life, loud and impatient mirroring the chaos in his head.He pulled out of the resort at full speed, not waiting for any interruption.“Rosa,” he muttered, scrolling through his phone with one hand. But there was no answer. It we

The mansion was silent when Alexander got home. There was no dinner set or voices. Just silence. He then heard footsteps approaching. He turned to see Mrs. Dill.Her face immediately brightened. “Sir Alexander, welcome back. I thought you and Ma'am Rosa would come tomorrow. How was the event?” She grabbed some of the bags beside him to carry inside. But when she came back to see him standing on the same spot, with no sign of Rosa, she blinked.She looked at him questioningly. “Where's Rosa?” She asked.His jaws immediately clenched, and saying no word, he walked out.Mrs. Dill's brows rose in shock, as she turned, watching him walk away. What had happened again?Alexander kicked off his shoes by the door, not caring where they landed, and walked upstairs like a man moving like the wind swayed him. Mrs. Dill's lips twitched. Did he and Rosa get into….a fight?She slowly took a deep breath, her eyes scanning the space, then she headed back to her quarters. Alexander didn't seem like so

Rosa stayed home all through the day. Somewhere in her heart, she hoped for his calls even though she wouldn't pick it up and other times, she wondered if to block him.A sigh escaped her delicate lips. She felt so worn out literally from just lying down.Hugo had returned, checking up on her severally and once, she faked her sleep, so he wouldn't hover for too long. She bit her cheek. She literally didn't know where she would be if not for her aunt and cousin.Sitting up, with forced strength, she glanced at her phone screen to check the time. 4. P.M. She wondered what Martha would be thinking, seeing her not present for a day. She softly chuckled. She would probably be panicking.Rubbing her eyes gently, she let out a yawn. Maybe she should just get down and stroll around the house.She went to the sitting room to see her aunt watching TV.“Auntie,” she softly said. Nardine's eyes went to her.“How're you dear? Are you well rested?”Rosa plopped into the chair beside her with a nod.

The next few minutes, Rosa went with Alexander back home after wishing her aunt and Hugo goodbye. Her aunt's smile clinged to her mind.“You made a brave choice,” she whispered to her, which brought a sense of pride to Rosa.While in the car, Rosa let down her hair, smoothing it gently, as it cascaded down her shoulders.Alexander glanced at her, as he watched her caress her hair. Staring at her side profile, he noticed how long her lashes were. Feeling his gaze, Rosa turned toward him. The soft interior lights of the car traced his profile, the tension in his jaw, the emotions in his eyes.“You are quiet,” she said gently.“Yes. Last night I thought I wouldn't see you again. I can't believe you are here right now,” he replied, voice low. “I want you with me and just want to feel the moment.” The honesty in his tone stirred her insides.Afterwards, there was silence.The silence was there for a while, but it wasn't awkward or uncomfortable.Alexander drove till they reached the mans

Rosa stared dumbstruck at his mother's spiteful words. What?!“Ma’am please. I know you don't like me, but bringing my late mom into this is too far.”She could at least honor the dead.Mrs. Wade's eyes went to her sharply and then she broke into a cold humorless laugh. Rosa and Alexander exchanged looks before facing her again.“Look at this fool. You think I would stoop so low as to try and use your slut mother just to prove a point?”Rosa's jaw clenched and her gaze on the woman hardened.Susan chuckled, walking closer to Rosa, who stood her ground. Their eyes met in an unwavering bicker.“Or are you going to deny..” Susan continued, “that Emilia Cole was your mother?”Rosa's eyes widened. She knew her mother?! Her lips parted to speak but then it closed reluctantly.Alexander immediately pulled Rosa to him, protecting her from his mother.“Mom, please. It's too early for your shenanigans.”His mother smirked and looked over to Mrs. Dill whose face instantly paled.“You think I'm m
