Donald's POV Immediately Rose's head touched the pillow, she woke up. I was quite startled to be met with her piercing grey eyes that I stumble back in surprise but before I went too far, she circles her arms around my neck, looping it around to bring me down.The whole thing was quite surprising that I didn't know how to respond until her lips touched mine.Oh, hell no!I tried to buck off, pushing her away but her arms were tighter than I had expected. She slanted her lips, pushing her tongue into my mouth.The whole experience was weird but at the same time familiar and I hesitated.Rose picked up on that and proceeded to weaken me further, by slipping her hands into my hair curling them around the strands.I moaned, my eyes crossing in my head when she managed to pull my shirt up, running her palms up and down my back, raking her nails across it.That was my weakness. I loved being touched during sex.But no-I can't be doing this.Spurred on by that, I managed to summon the stre

Donald's POV I tried to keep my distance from Rose as much as I could that wasn't the case two days later after I had abandoned her in the hotel. I showed up to work as usual my briefcase in hand, heading towards my office when I got ambushed by Rose.“Do you think that you could hide for long without me finding you?” She confronts me, visibly angry.“I wasn't aware that I was hiding from you,” I say coolly.“Oh, will you please stop the lies? I've been searching all over for you since Friday but you just conveniently found a way to go in and out of the company without seeing me.…. but not anymore.” She growled, taking one step towards me.From the corner of my eyes, I could see the employees throwing curious glances at us and the last thing I wanted was to become a new subject matter to gossip about. “Come on, let's take this to my office,” I say under my breath, grabbing her arm.As soon as my hand connected with hers, she flinched jerking out of my hold. “Don't you fucking touch m

Rose's POV“Bring another one over here,” I slurred, gesturing for the bartender to bring another round of drinks.Already, there was a liter of empty shot in front of me but strangely it didn't feel enough to drown the emptiness, sorrow, and guilt that I felt.It was like everything came crashing down around me after Donald called it quits.Suddenly, David became too busy for me and even my friends went on with their life.The same friends who encouraged me to treat Donald horribly and push him away from me were the same ones who deserted me when I needed them the most.Life was fucking crazy.“Madam, I think that it's enough…” The bartender told me, staring pointedly at the empty bottles in front of me.“Wha…What?” Are you trying to tell me what to do??!” I slammed my fists hard on the table, catching the attention of other customers. “It's my money and I call the shots here!’“Okay, okay.” He raised his hands in surrender, trying to placate me. “One more bottle, and that's it. You'

Rose's POV It took a couple of minutes for me to swallow past the feeling of pain, anger, and bitterness lodged in my heart after I found out the truth.To think that David had been playing me for the better part of two years only made me feel like a fool. I honestly thought that we had something solid, even before he went out of the country. It was now making sense to me, the reason why he suddenly detached himself when he traveled abroad. It wasn't because of the distance or how busy he was due to his ‘school’ schedule but because the minute he stepped on that plane, he had closed his mind off from me.I wasn't going to lie, I was deeply hurt and betrayed.The one person I thought had my back during this whole bullshit, turned out to be a fraud.For over an hour, I knelt on his bedroom floor crying my eyes out. I had a wonderful man like Donald and I threw him away for someone I don't even think loves me…how foolish could I be?It got so bad that I cried until I developed a head

David's POV I kept looking over my shoulder, waiting for my contact to show up.Ever since the incident with the detective, I've been overly careful with my dealings making sure to keep them on the down low.I was almost at a critical stage in my skin which would determine the success or the failure of my little venture.It was quite important for me to keep all poky-eyed and nosy people off my radar until I was successful.The guy I was supposed to meet should have been here over an hour ago but I hadn't seen him yet. I was trying to be patient but my patience was slowly running thin.Just as I was about to dial his number for the hundredth time, some scruffy-looking guy with a bushy beard slid into the seat next to me. “Hey, man,” he said in a deep, rumbling voice.“Hey…” I mumbled, looking around the bar.I didn't know what to say, not sure if he was the guy that I was waiting for.To be honest, I didn't get much of a description. Just a simple text, saying to meet up with a guy h
