Rosie's POVIt's like I'm staring at a castle built in the sky and can't reach it, but I will today.My team had the brightest smiles as we were all staring at the height of the building and how it glamorously reflects its luxury.I heaved a sigh and turned to look at them while offering a faint smile.There were just three, but what's the purpose of cooking if there's no teamwork?I glanced at them, Xandra, my assistant, who always holds a suitcase like it's a corporate job, but inside lies ingredients.She looks the most excited, probably because she'd use this place to boost her social media handles.Candace has his head lowered, still frightened that I was mad at him earlier for giving my contact to Damien's spy.I figured out earlier because, while I was trying to bake the cake, he called to inform me that someone had requested my contact.Somehow, I beckoned him to describe how the person looked and if there was anything weird about this stranger.He identified a royal seal, pla

Rosie's POVThe loud sound of a siren jerks me back as paramedics rush inside the hall to attend to the victims.The strict woman was still holding on to me when I broke out of her hold. Her ragged breath was deliberate as she tried to keep herself calm, but she was vibrating.My feet stepped back from her as she looked like she'd hit me but was preventing herself."Let me explain, everything we used was properly searched by the health agencies present."She glared at me, gnashing her teeth while I tried to justify myself. Something is wrong somewhere.Just as I was defending myself, a punch connected with my jaw and I stumbled back, falling on the floor. Quickly, I covered my nose, which was already bleeding from the punch, and when I looked at the person who caused it, I realized it was a middle-aged man.He was ranting at me and two bouncers were holding him back from reaching me."If anything happens to my family! I'd kill you!"The strict woman was trying to keep him calm as she

Rosie's POVAria paces to and fro the detention cell, Cadence bangs the rod and Xandra sits in a corner, staring at the stained, peeling wall.It's like a nightmare as neither of us understood what was happening.My voice was strained from screaming as there was no interrogation, and we've been kept locked up without proper questions, no lawyer either.They treated us like plagues.The more I tried to think of who planted wolfsbane in my kitchen, the more I got jinxed.My heart panics over a thousand things, and my face turns paler; my fingertips were cold as the shock of earlier hadn't left me.I ran those fingers through my hair, leaning on the bar rods, my eyes scanning my team.There weren't words of encouragement I hadn't put down just for them to believe me that we'd get out.However, we've spent 3 hours here and the public must have started some controversies about our shop.I can't help but worry over my boys. I want to see them, to close their eyes and ears from the news, not

Adnar's POVFive minutes and forty-five seconds left on that timer. The red numbers kept counting down while I moved along the warehouse walls looking for any weak point we could exploit. My ribs hurt so badly that each breath felt like someone was driving nails into my chest. I ignored it though because stopping to acknowledge the pain would not help anyone.The ventilation system ran along the entire perimeter of the warehouse. I could see where the ducts connected to different rooms through the walls. If we could access those connections we might be able to find another way out instead of forcing Natasha through that narrow shaft."There has to be something," I said mostly to myself.Sarah was on the other side of the warehouse moving old crates that had been stacked against the wall. Eli stayed near the ventilation opening in case we needed to reconsider that option. Natasha stood close to me even though I had not asked her to. Every few seconds her hand would reach out like she w

Rosie's POVI raked my left brow, running out of patience as Aria kept looking at me from the window.He wasn't picking up his calls and I squeezed my lips.It turns out that Harry requested he wanted to come home, and the hospital was fine with that, as we had a family doctor who'd come check him up and do the necessary treatment.Right now, I've put him to sleep with the boys and I got outside the garden precisely just to make a phone call to Damien.I scoffed, swearing at the phone like I was looking at him."He didn't even call," I said, growling in anger as I imagined he'd be with his women.Turns out, when he took me over to the shop, he got me a new phone, but then, I decided to use Cadence's phone to contact Harry.His contact was the only one I had for now, and he saved it as "Heartbeat."He said he'd call... It'd been 8 hours now or did he figure out I lied to him and then suddenly wanted to ghost me?"P
