"Come in," Alexander called out and Rosalie pushed the door open. When his eyes rested on her, the insides of him grew warm."Good morning, sir" Rosalie muttered as she tried to push her jelly legs towards him. What happened between them in the past two days was the only thing that replayed in her head.She was just resting her eyes on him for the past two days. They only spoke on the phone."Come," Rosalie nodded and bit the insides of her cheeks as she forced her shy self to walk to him.As soon as she was close enough, Alexander grabbed her hand and trailed his hands on her supple skin. He missed the feeling of her skin.He was away from her for two days. He missed her."You're pretty," he whispered and gently kissed her arm. Rosalie shuddered and shut her eyes as his lips moved on her skin.When she didn't feel anything, she opened her eyes and they locked eyes. Alexander pulled her to his thighs and a gasp escaped her lips."Sir—" she breathed out wide-eyed."What?" Alexander ch
"For her?" Sophia scoffed. She found it unbelievable. He was with his secretary? He left her in that restaurant screaming. She waited for him to reconsider his decision.And when he didn't, she came to him. Only to meet this goddamn secretary in his arms. He kissed her. He allowed her to hug him."Get into the car, Rosie," Alexander ordered to Rosalie who sucked in her cheeks. "No," Sophia protested before Rosalie could move. "She wouldn't go in. She's part of this discussion," Sophia smothered and grabbed Rosalie's arm."From the first day I loathed you. When you walked in that day. It was a mistake. I wasn't supposed to allow you to stay another minute with Alexander.""I was right all along. All along!" Sophia snarled and tightened her hold on Rosalie. "But you haven't won. You never will.""Stop it," Alexander intervened and pulled Rosalie from her grip, "why are you acting like a mad obsessed girl Sophia? I was never in love with you. You forced yourself on me Sophia. Every sing
"And you think it wasn't important to tell me?" Alexander scoffed over the phone and Rosalie sighed.She skipped work for two days. When she visited Pamela, she didn't have the energy to go to work the next day because of the conversation between them both "I'm sorry, sir" she apologized.She heard him exhale over the phone, "where are you at the moment?""At…mum's place" she breathed out and at once, the call disconnected. Rosalie scoffed and leaned back into the chair she was in.Couldn't he say he was ending the call? Was he arrogant or that was just his way of life? She curled on the sofa enjoying her show.Her mum wasn't home. She had gone to her place of work. Boredom held her hostage and she used the TV. She would have called Aria over if Aria wasn't in her place of work.The doorbell rang, jolting her out of her thoughts and her brows creased. It wasn't time for her mum to come back. Who could it be?Alexander clicked in her mind and her confusion grew deeper. Could it be him
Aria trotted towards the office as fast as her legs could carry her. She needed to see that asshole. He had to know what he did to her.Because of him, Rosalie was battling for her life. It angered her and at the moment, she only wanted to punch him for hurting her friend.She was sure he did something. Rosalie couldn't have gone to the bar just to drink. She sniffed repeatedly until she reached the door.The receptionist had informed him over the phone and he gave his permission. Aria knew with or without permission, she was going to see him.She pushed the door open and Alexander raised his head when he saw her."You idiot," Aria trudged to Alexander trying to control her rage, "you're here seated working. You didn't even ask for Rosalie. Why's she not in the office today?""She has skipped work for two days so I bet she skipped today too," Alexander shrugged and Aria scoffed.She pushed back every urge in her to walk to him and give him a slap. Those rich dudes were rude. How'd Ros
Rosalie's eyes fluttered open. She shut them back as she stirred on the bed. Agonizing pain and hammering in her head clawed her chest at once.She groaned as she stirred and gently, her eyes flickered open. This time, she squinted them until her eyes took in the hospital's white intricate ceilings.The antiseptic smell of the hospital welcomed her, causing an irritating clog in her throat. She groaned once more and at once, a distant voice echoed in her ear."Rosalie," it was Pamela, "Rosalie," Pamela called expectantly as Rosalie moaned in pain.Her eyes adjusted to the rays but not to the pain. She sniffed and Pamela grabbed the hand she stretched out. "Rosalie," "Mum?" Rosalie bit on her lip to take in the pain and at the same time stared at her mother seated in front of her, "mum, where am I?" She moaned when she stirred."Stay calm, your leg is bandaged," Pamela whispered amidst her happiness. She couldn't believe Rosalie was awake.After being in a temporary coma for five days
"Sophia?" The words flew out of Rosalie's trembling lips. "Sophia was the one that hit me?" She asked as she tried to get a memory of it but it was impossible.Of course, she was drunk."Yes," Alexander answeredRosalie was completely taken aback. She stared numb into the space. She tried to kill her? Because… of Alexander? Sophia threatened her countless times but…She never thought it was to the extent of killing her. In a lifetime, Rosalie wouldn't have thought Sophia would hit her with a car.All because of her boss standing in front of her. The pretender and that cold man.Her tears fell helplessly as she blamed herself; her choices were all wrong. How didn't she think the rich would do anything to have what they want?It was stupid to think she would fight against someone that knew the man she was fighting for even before she knew him. Was it wrong to fight when she wasn't even in their category?Tears clouded her vision adding to the pounding in her head. She was tired; weaken
Rosalie's POVIt was silly but it was funny seeing him jealous. I woke up when a hand grabbed mine. Then seeing Williams, I didn't have the energy to talk to him so I feigned sleepiness.Before Alexander arrived. A smirk grew to my lips and he scoffed."You were awake?" Aria questioned and I turned to her. Her face was contorted in a scowl before she hissed and plowed to the door.I sighed. She was angry and I knew why. But I was going to fix it when I am okay."I'm outside," mum, who I didn't know was inside, mumbled and walked out leaving me with this CEO once more. I nodded and glanced around. I was starting to get used to the antiseptic smell and the white surroundings I stare at all day."Are you okay, now?" He questioned and I raised my head to him at once. His voice was hoarse and sounded desperate. When my eyes landed on his face, my brows raised.His face was pale and his hair looked unkempt. There were dark circles around his eyes, "what's wrong?" I voiced out before I could
After hours of silence, we finally reached the building. I gazed at Alexander but his eyes were ahead as if he was trying to ignore me.I sniffed and sighed. Probably I shouldn't have come to the station. Mum clearly didn't want it. I could read the worry etched on her face. It mystified her that we knew who tried to kill me.Her eyes held questions I wasn't able to answer in the.With a sigh, I sat up. The driver got out and at once hurried to open the door for us. Mum got out first and Alexander finally spared me a glance.He held my arm while I shrugged his hands off. He scoffed and grabbed my arm this time tighter and helped me step down."Let's go," his arm locked firmly around my waist despite how hard I tried to wriggle out. "You're not strong, don't forget that Rosalie," he deadpanned and I stayed still.We covered a few distance and I let my eyes dart around despite the pain I was in. The compound had several buildings and chatters from different directions filled my ears.It
