David's Pov It turns out that trying to be a criminal mastermind was much harder than I thought it was.My brilliant plan to make Rose take the fall for me when I eventually left was quite difficult to execute.I met up with a lawyer, planning on making sure that he would be positioned in such a way that he could easily fabricate the documents and make rules to be at fault. Whenever you wanted to pull off a scheme like this, the best thing was to plan three steps ahead or else you would be on the losing end.“What's the next step? I need you to make sure that this is a flawless as possible and I don't want it to get traced back to me, you understand?” I say in a strict tones.The man I found, his name was Dennis Robinson…a shady lawyer found downtown in Allen Avenue. I had to ask around to make sure I didn't make a mistake. It wasn't until I got hlowing reviews about his ‘services’ that I went ahead to contact him.To make sure it was undetectable, I used a burner phone with a fake

Donald's PovWaking up with a yawn, I sat up on the bed stretching my hands high above my head.My next move was to hop into the shower.Nowadays, I really spent time at home mostly, jumping from the house to one company down to another.It's been about almost a week that I have spoken with Rose but I made sure to leave her notes everyday so it didn't seem like I was ignoring her. However, I didn't have the privilege of sulking around the house when David was out there, doing God knows what to try and take my company.Yes, my company.Now it's all too certain that David couldn't be trusted and judging from what I've seen, I have figured out that he is a greedy, heartless bastard who will go to any lengths to get what he wants.At this point, if he was able to infiltrate Rose’s company then I couldn't be sure that mine was out of the danger zone.Some minutes past 8, I hurried out of the house and into my car setting the GPS to a company that I now own and manage.It's one of the bigge

Rose's POV Rubbing my hands furiously to create some friction, I stared at my reflection in the mirror biting down on my lower lip.Was I doing the right thing? I couldn't help but think things through.The secret meetings I'd been having with David under Donald's nose didn't go as I expected and now, I'm on a very different path than I thought I'd be.I didn't know how I got roped into David's sleek, smooth charm, swallowing everything he told me hook, line, and sinker.Somehow, I had managed to fall into his trap.He said he would help me get the freedom I wanted from Donald.At first, he came to me after apologizing for abandoning me the way he did and slowly, he began to slip past my defenses and then we started to talk.And in no time at all, I started to leak out my secrets, telling him about how Donald and I had reconciled and began to make up.I also told him how much I loved Donald and regretted losing him by cheating on him with David.After the incident that happened which

Donald's POV After the shocking news I heard about Rose and her choice to move on with the divorce, I had to give her some space, partly because of my mental health.It was dangerous, having someone toy with your emotions like that. I was so angry and a little bit disappointed in myself for falling for her antics again but in the past couple of days, I made sure to avoid her like the plague, coming back home late at night and then heading straight to my bed.I snuck out early in the mornings, avoiding any encounter with anyone.If Rose noticed my sudden distant attitude, she didn't say anything about it.Stuck in my office, I sighed for the umpteenth time today as I stared at the workload in front of me, sorely craving for some much-needed rest.Rubbing at my temples, I debated taking a power nap when I heard a bit of ruckus outside my door.My spine snapped into place and my back straightened as I tried to listen to get a feel of what was happening out there, I could make out some

Rose's POV Falling into a total and complete mess was not part of my plan but then these pregnancy hormones were dealing with me. It's crazy because one moment I could be perfectly fine and the next, I wanted to bash someone's head in or cry my eyes out.I was going over the records and I found out that if I wanted to win Donald during the court case then I was going to need to have a badass lawyer on my side, the kind that charged an ungodly hour per hour.It was a little bit important for me to win, not only to restore my dignity but also to get a bit of compensation money which could take me over for the next year.Tapping on my laptop, I researched the top highest paying lawyers in the city and found out that one of them was already hired by Donald, and according to Times magazine, he is one of the best lawyers in half the country.Swallowing nervously, I checked others but even the lowest was way too pricey for me….and that's when I lost it.Overthinking doubting myself if I was
