Donald's POV After comforting Rose over her feelings and how she felt about the situation, I wasn't so eager to go back home.This was the first time in a long while that I had talked to her or had an intimate conversation with someone and if I was being honest, I missed her too.Being away from her for weeks made me forget how she smelled, her touch…everything about the rules that made her uniquely who she was. “You know you didn't have to stay over right? I'll be fine.” Rose told me, plastering a smile on her face. “I've handled much worse things, I'm pretty sure that I can handle this too.” “I know.” I agreed with her and she looked up at me in surprise. “..that you can handle this alone, I mean,” I explained to her. “..but that doesn't mean that you have to handle everything alone.”“It's ironic…” she mused. “... That we hated each other so much but when the opportunity came first to live separate lives, we found out that it's hard to just do away with someone. Especially someo

David's POV “To ensure that this works out the way we need to you need to do what I said.” Ramone rumbled, biting into a juicy plate of steak.Boone and his other guys sat around the roundtable, eating and joking like it was a regular Tuesday.Currently, we were discussing how to get me safely out of the country but to do so, Ramone brought up a suggestion that a distraction be created. In his words, “a burning fire sucks up all the attention around, leaving people to ignore the surroundings…”He said if there was a way to create distraction that will take up both the media and the police attention away from me then I need to work on it so I can disappear peacefully without anyone being the wiser.It would take at least a couple of months to figure out where I had run off to. “I am not sure what would be the right way to go about this,” I say to him, picking through my food.The thought of carrying the mission they wanted me to make my stomach curdle.“So what's the right way? Using

Donald's POV “I got something!” Shawn yelled so loudly, I could hear it from where I sat in my office.I didn't bother asking what was wrong, instead I bolted straight up from my chair and ran down to the basement. “What is it? What happened?”Shawn, Hayley, and Tyler were crowded around the monitor and they turned around to look at me when I barged into the room. Sean spoke up first. “I managed to crack it! Remember I told you I've been trying to break into David's firewall-which is immensely strong might I add- luckily for us, I managed to break through and now, we're in.”I could hardly contain my joy. After the fights that we had a couple of days ago, I decided to do what they wanted, giving them space to work as they saw fit without trying to micromanage or pressure them and it seems to have worked!Poking my head through, I peered at the screen. “Okay, so what am I looking at right now?”Hayley pointed the tip of her fingernail at the screen. “That's David's e-mail, messages,

RoseThe last visit David made to my house made me feel weird. The entire time he spent here, he kept looking around, jumping anytime I came too close…almost like he was afraid to be caught doing something wrong.At the time, I didn't think much of it because I thought he was still shaken from the event that happened at his job.Now, a couple of hours later, while I watching my favorite series for the third time, I couldn't help but flashback to that moment.I knew that something was wrong, I just couldn't place my hand on what and it was nearly driving me crazy.What the hell do I need to do?Pacing around my small bedroom, I bit down on a finger, chewing it around while I thought about my next step.My first instinct was to call him but it's clear that I'm still a bit biased when it came to David.And I knew that David would shrug it aside, making up an excuse that would sound palatable to my ears, and I would believe it so instead, I picked apart what happened the entire time he wa

David's POV Rose was behaving quite suspiciously and that led me to believe that she was on to me.I had to react fast, pushing my plans into motion before she could find out what was happening right under her nose.I didn't inform Ramone or Boone that Rose was aware of my current situation because I knew the way they thought.It wouldn't take anything for them to decide to take Rose out…permanently.While I might admit that she is a pain in the ass, it doesn't mean that I wanted her killed over a minor inconvenience so I decided to handle it in-house.Already, I've got everything I need to frame Rose, it's just to put it in place.The plan was to tip the police off and give them enough reason to break into her home where they would find incriminating evidence that I'd left for them to find the day I visited Rose.When Ramone suggested it, I doubted the potency of the plan until he laid it out for me and I had to grudgingly admit that it could work.I had already made plans to leave
