Roselia clasped her trembling hands together, shutting her eyes with a silent prayer. After submitting the form, the employees were called one after the other to the CEO's office. She didn't know what to expect, but she was sure of getting fired one way or the other. Either because the employees picked her or because Zade wanted revenge.She paced around in her office, anxiously. She couldn't afford to lose her job. It took so much from her to build her career to where it was. "Mrs Harper, please report to the CEO's office immediately."Roselia swallowed thickly as the intercom sounded all over the building. Taking a deep breath, she stepped out of her office ignoring the eyes that followed every step she took. She decided to use the stairs to delay whatever was waiting for her behind those doors. Her feet came to a stop outside the CEO's office. Her trembling hands barely made it to the door before it opened to reveal Elizabeth. Roselia blinked twice. She wasn't aware of the woma

Zade stared at her with disgust. If shamelessness was a person. Letting out a defeated sigh, he raised his hand in surrender."Fine. I'll do what you want, just comport yourself. Now you've ripped your dress off, how are you going to leave? I want us to discuss somewhere outside the office," Zade said."I'm not stupid, Zade. I know the minute I step out of this place, everything is gone. So let's discuss everything here," Roselia stubbornly said.His features twisted in annoyance, but he couldn't risk ruining his reputation. Whether he liked it or not, she had a valid claim. He did fire her and her dress was ripped in his office.Aside from ruining his reputation before the workers, it would affect his public image as well if a reporter got hold of the information."What exactly do you want, Miss Harper?" Zade's strained voice betrayed his wariness. He returned to his seat and waited for her to speak."I don't want much," Roselia started with a smile. Zade discreetly slipped his phone

Zade facepalmed inwardly. His agenda for the evening was winning back Darlene Investments not entertaining his overzealous ex.Darlene cast a questioning look at Zade. "I'm sorry. I'll just take care of this quickly," Zade gave a tight smile, getting off his seat. If he had known she would suddenly show up at the event, he would have come with his bodyguards. How the hell did she even get in? Wasn't the party strictly on invitation? Roselia wore a breathtaking smile as Zade approached her. She had managed to convince Christian Myers to get an invitation on the sole promo that she would get Zade to release Ryan.It was a lie of course. She couldn't even get the man to give her back her job. He was too stubborn to let go of the past. So here she was, with her plan B. A waiter stopped by her with a tray. She picked out two glasses, throwing a flirtatious smile at her ex-husband."What are you doing here, Rose?" Zade asked dryly. "Care for a drink?" Roselia asked instead. "I picked

“What?!” Roselia gasped, halting a few metres from the car. “As much as I would love to play dumb with you, I haven’t got all day. Get into the fucking car. The sooner we get this over with, the better for all of us,” Zade retorted without sparing her a glance.Roselia watched with horror as he got into the car. The color had drained out of her face completely. Zade had always been a lover of children. Throughout their years in marriage, he always talked about having kids. She never took him seriously because her career was her top priority. Now, she didn’t understand what changed. She didn’t expect him to accept her immediately, but she didn’t also expect that he would outrightly demand an abortion.Did he hate her that much?The car horn startled her to life, but she couldn’t bring herself to move. The will wasn’t even there, just a series of unanswered questions. Zade got out of the car with annoyance, “What exactly do you want from me?! Why is it so difficult to stay out of my

Roselia stepped out of the car, gaping at the mansion. “You live here?” She asked. “It’s so beautiful.”“Don’t get used to it,” Came a dry response from Zade. Elizabeth was waiting at the door for them to arrive. “Teddy,” She grinned, as he wrapped her in a hug. Roselia looked away with an inaudible scoff. “I was only gone for a few hours. Why are you so excited to see me?” Zade chuckled.Roselia felt a tinge of jealousy. Zade had been cold to everyone in the last few weeks, but he was all smiley with Elizabeth like she was the most beautiful thing in his life.The thought pushed her to give an awkward cough, in an attempt to break the hug. Elizabeth pulled away, giving her a once-over. Zade followed her gaze.“Let’s just go in,” Zade said, clearly unwilling to introduce them so Roselia took it upon herself to do the introduction. “Since Zade wouldn’t do a proper introduction, permit me to introduce myself. I am Roselia, Zade’s wife and the mother of his unborn child,” Roselia pro
