David's Pov Convincing Rose to come over was only a step of my plan…in a very long and detailed list.I got the brilliant idea when I moved back into my house, checking out of the motel after a very peaceful stay of two weeks.Thanks to Boone and my well-intention bribe to the reporter, the entire circus had died down and the media had moved to fresh meat…another scandal trending in the city.While it might take some time for people to stop looking at me when I went out to get things or whispering and muttering about me anytime I was in a public place, at least I know had my privacy and a semblance of my life back.It was good to be around my space and my house once again and I spent the next 2 days unboxing items that I had boxed up in preparation to leave the country but apparently that isn't impossible until I've been cleared of the charges levied against me.I might as well sit here and enjoy my hard earned money.However, unlike the motel where I could flirt with the receptionis

David's Pov “Right this way…” I helped Rose out of the car, with a wide smile painted on my face.She ignored my outstretched hand with a huff, heading towards the house without my instance.I simply smiled and licked the car door, doing a routine sweep around the area with my eyes to make sure there was no one watching us.Satisfied that the coast was clear, I followed after Rose.The door was slightly ajar Ajar, Rose standing in with her mouth open.While we were at dinner, I had Boone calling some favors and the house was decorated with flowers in real homemade meal and candles to make the atmosphere a little bit intimate and sexy.“What is this?” She turns around to face me her eyes flashing with accusations. “Dinner. I wanted to make up for the fact that you might have to leave the restaurant early.”“So you planned this?” She asked. “This was the plan all along, wasn't it?”I shrugged, indifferent. “Well, yes. I'm not quite comfortable with everyone poking around in my busines

Donald's Pov Should I or should I not?I agonized over my decision to speak to Rose haven't hit a wall the last time I tried to work on David by myself. It wasn't a matter of Rose being stubborn or adamant to talk to me but it was a matter of pride.I used to watch movies where the guy would repeatedly forgive the girl over and over again on he would wind up hurt and I would yell at the guy, urging him to ask her right to treat him better but now that I was in that case…. let me just say it's quite hard to do the right thing when you're experiencing it.For over 2 days I've been agonizing over my decision, even though deep down I knew that reaching out to Rose was the best decision to me, I was just apprehensive of what her response might be.It was on one lonely Tuesday night that I finally drummed up the courage to call her, sitting in my balcony overlooking the night life of New York city.The overhead lights from the skyscrapers, busy cars and billboards were enough to provide e

Donald's Pov “If I agree to do this, what will be in it for me?” Rose asked.I paused, not sure what to say to that. Reaching for a bottle of wine that was on the counter, I swiped it up and downed several mouthfuls at once, buying time as I thought of what best to say but then I decided to go with the truth. “You get what you desperately want… revenge on David.”She snorted. “Yeah, right. Trying to get revenge on a man like David is like trying to look for a needle in a pile of needles…it's never going to happen.”I sighed, scrubbing a hand down my face as I tried to rack my head for what to tell her to change her mind. “Don't you think it's because people like us make decisions like these…that's why men like David are allowed to roam free and do whatever they want without thinking about the consequences?” I asked her. “I want to get David back for what he did to us and I know that deep down underneath your fright and anger, you want that to, so please help me, Rose.”She was silent

David's Pov “David Knight?”My head snapped up as I heard my name being called out in the room. “That's me!”It was a beautiful Thursday morning and I was super excited for what was waiting for me on the other side of the room.Over 2 weeks have gone by with no voice or chatter from the cops about my involvement in the fraud allegations… up until yesterday.They reached out via the mail insisting on one last sit down with me before they made a verdict.Already, I could see through their bullshit.The only reason why they were summoning me here was because they were looking for evidence to prosecute me and if they didn't find any, then they would be recluse to shutting down the case permanently. That will mean that I would be a free citizen and I would be able to walk out in the public since all the charges against me would be dropped.An officer followed me guiding me through the offices until we got to the familiar interrogation room.Detective John was seated, next to a Black man
