After what seemed like forever, David woke up in a very strange place. His memories were hazy, but he felt the pain in his body the moment he woke up. When he was able to recall the events that led to all of his pain, he gist relaxed and breathed. The pain was still so much, he didn't even try to get up from the bed. It wasn't his bed though, but it wasn't as hard as those at the general hospitals. He slightly raised his neck and scanned his environment. It was very strange to him, it looked like he was in the palace. The door of the humongous room he was in was white and gold, royal colors. Even the futures he saw around, there were like nothing that he had ever seen before. It was like he was in heaven, was this heaven?He groaned when he felt a sharp pain in his side, he stopped moving and the pain disappeared. He didn't attempt to make one movement after that, he just lay there. The door suddenly opened and Rosie walked in. She saw that he was awake, and she gasped. " Oh
Rosie placed a couple of pictures in front of David. He was having a smoke on the balcony of his father's mansion. He picked it up, separating each picture from the other. They were pictures of cars, very expensive ones. " What are these for?" He glanced at her. " Pick another car." She said, " You are kind of forbidden from ever going to buy your own car, but I will get someone to pick it up." He handed the pictures back to her and took another drag. " I don't want a car." He said. She was confused, maybe she didn't come here with the mind that he was going to reject the offer. " You can't just not have a car." She raised and dropped her hands. " That's what boys of your age care about, cars." " I don't want a car." He said to her, " I have been living fine without one. Besides, the Lamborghini almost ruined my life." " Look, if this is about Nick, I will make sure that he never comes near you again." She assured him. " Besides, our partnership is partially over, you just do
David's jaw immediately slacked and he was unable to move his face. Did he hear her say what she did?" Excuse me?" He asked her. " If I hadn't known better, I would have thought you were the secret heir or something." She propped her head against her hand. David was distorted on the inside of him, he was trying his best not to expose himself. " Why– why would you say that?" He asked. He was praying, crying, in his heart that she hadn't figured his secret out. For her own sake, he was hoping. " The girls around the office, they have this idea." She pulled closer like she was telling him a secret. " They do?" He rubbed his jaw. " They think that the secret heir is among us." She smiled. " They think he is disguised as a fellow worker, and he is waiting for the right time to reveal himself. We are also trying to guess who." " Don't you think that's a terrible kind of game?" He tried to sound cool, but it wasn't. " You could get into danger." " The winner is going to get a thous
Whatever brought her here, it wasn't a good reason. She was glaring at Stefanie and she was just smiling like an innocent child. "Hi." Stefanie waved at her. " Who's she?" She was asking David, but what was he going to say? Natalie had been more of his arch-enemy since the breakup. " Natalie." She thrust out her hand. " And you are?"" Stefanie." She answered with her smile still in place. " I'm David's friend and colleague." " Hm, that's strange." Natalie voiced out. " He never had female friends." " Is that true?" Stefanie looked at David with a laugh. " Well, there is a first time for everything, I guess." " Natalie, what are you doing here?" He rolled his eyes. " Why? Is there a curfew? Are you the police?" She snapped at him. " It's late, you're all alone. It's not like it's my business, but you are going to get yourself in trouble." He said. " Where's your boyfriend?"" I don't have a boyfriend, since you ghosted me." She hissed in his face. " Oh, my God!" Natalie soun
Natalie laughed when she saw the look of humiliation on Stefanie's face. David was helpless, he didn't even know what to do." Yes! That's what you get when you can't leave other people's boyfriends alone!" Natalie shouted loud enough for everyone to hear.David's hands held Stefanie's own, she looked like she was about to cry." Y'all can look at me and call me crazy!" She pointed her fingers at all of the onlookers. " Yes, I will do anything to take my man back from stealing whores."" For heaven's sake, Natalie, what's wrong with you?!" David couldn't hold it anymore. " Why did you think you had to do this?! Why?!"" Oh, forgive me." She touched her chest. " For trying to secure what is mine."" I'm not yours!" He warned her. " You never wanted anything to do with me, you broke up with me!"" I was kidding!" She bawled louder. " I wanted to push you to get your shit together!"At this point, the other customers were looking around in confusion and cringe.The manager had to immed
David sat in his office, he didn't even have one last strength to handle what was going on in his head. His thoughts were having a war and it was trying to burst into a headache. Stefanie didn't speak to him anymore, she didn't say one word to him and it was breaking his heart. He tried, he did, but she was very adamant not to speak to him. He got her some snacks and placed them on the table before her. She only glanced at them and kept working. The last time he checked on her, they were the exact way he had left them. So that's why he was alone in his office, he couldn't even work because he was thinking about her. Suddenly the door opened and Rosie's secretary walked in. She was so disrespectful that she pushed the door open with her foot. " Ava, do you even know how to knock?" He frowned at her. " The boss wants to see you, immediately." She said in an icy voice. " Immediately." " I'm on my way," David told her. She didn't leave, she was staring at him, not even blinking
Rosie gave the road her full attention as she drove them to see her father. She handled the wheel with delicacy like she didn't want to get into any mishap that would delay her. David glanced at her from time to time and saw how worried she was about her father. "Shouldn't we get him something?" David broke the silence."I mean, I would like to stop by the store to get him anything he normally likes." "His health has never been at its peak." She said. "His doctors are very picky about what he eats.""Let's stop by and get some flowers then. I bet that would be what Tommy would get." He said. She only shrugged. When they got to the next flower shop, he got out and went to buy some. He settled for some dandelions. He paid and got back into the car. She resumed driving and they came to drive for another fifteen minutes. Finally, they pulled at the small gate of the "new hope" Retirement home. It was a small building that was surrounded by beautiful flowers and green grasses. She
Rosie pulled up in front of his apartment. It was a very eventful day for both of them, but they had come to the end of it. She stopped the car and wiped her palm down her face. "Rosie, can I say something?" He asked. "You won't be mad though?"" I can't promise you that, but it's not like I can do anything to you." She shrugged. " I know that my major was in robotic and mechanical engineering, but I will try my best if you need someone to talk to." He assured her. She rubbed her hands over the wheel and laughed. " Why do you think I need someone to talk to?" She turned to him. Trying to control his laughter. He was looking at her blankly like she was crazy for laughing. " Rosie, after everything you have gone through, I'm sure that you are not making a big deal out of it." " You don't know half of what I have been through." She told him. " You can't even relate to it." David looked down at his hands. " My mother–"" I don't care about what you and your mother went through,
