“What are you trying to prove in front of the guests that you are Roselyn's husband but you are not her husband.”Don said in an angry state of mind.
“When her face was so bad, I was the only one who stood by her side and when she got better you are claiming rights over her, she is not your stuffed animal which you can come and claim at any times.”Don responded
Mark was so adamant about the situation and was trying to make his points valid and he was ready to do everything to get Roselyn at any cost and promises to make her rich if she marries him.
Same as Don, he is also prepared to fight for her because she had done alot for him. She saved him from a burning which was pulled on by someone which he had vowed to find the person who did it and made them beg for their lives.
But first he had to handle the first phase of his plan by saving his marriage with Roselyn and he is ready to destroy every obstacle in his way even if some of the obstacles are his very own in law.
Roselyn is pleased with Don's action of fighting for her injustice but he is disgusted by Mark's act and she him gone as soon as possible….. she got tired of the drama which both men were causing then she approached Mark.
“Stop this drama…Mark I don't want to get married to you, I am happily married to my husband and I am very comfortable in the marriage.
Roselyn's mom walked up to Roselyn and was about to give her another slap and insult her but she was so tired of doing anything because she had a rough day.
“Just keep quiet Roselyn… I am here trying to fight for our love so that we will leave a comfortable life and not end up with a poor being.” Mark said with her smirk.
After hearing all that nonsense coming out of Mark's mouth, Don could not take the insult anymore and walk up to him with a sounding slap which left him deaf for some minutes.
Mark went to the bar to get a drink and try to calm himself down after receiving a beating from Don. While Don was in the other corner cleaning his sweats and clearing his head and receiving a massage from Roselyn who was trying to calm him down. “Everything will be okay I promise.” She whispered to me.
Mr Jeff just stood there with alot going through his mind, he was actually on Don's side but he didn't want to go against the wishes of his family so he had to stand by them and support them in their decisions.
“Enough!...I have heard enough of all this drama, I will decide on the fate of this family.”
Grandma nona spoke up
“Have you people forgotten that I am the eldest in this family, how dare you fight like children in my presence, well I don't blame you I blame your parents.”
“I will assign a task for both Don and Mark whoever wins will be the groom of my lovely granddaughter, I will tell you what you have to do by tomorrow. Till then everyone should go to various houses, I need to clear my head. She said.”
She was on her way to her room then she stopped and said “Don will not stay with Roselyn as a couple and will not live in the mansion until the competition is over and everything is resolved. This decision left Mark in a more comfortable state of mind as he smirked while leaving the house.
Don was so furious with the decision of the grandma, he feels that his hard work might go to waste and he will not get closer to the killers of his family. He left the place and went outside to get some air.
Roselyn and her family went outside, they were on their way home when Mark stopped them and offered a lift to Roselyn but she replied to him rudely, “have you forgotten that we are rich, our driver is right there to pick us up.
“Well…..maybe you might want a lift since you don't have a car to drive yourself home.” Mark said to Don, mocking him and insulting.
But Roselyn told Don to take the other car home and make sure he should be back tomorrow to listen to what the grandma had to say.
He nodded his head and got into the car and drove with such a high speed limit, he got home and he took a drink and started drinking in a manner less matter and he took a cigarette and he was smoking thinking if he could get Roselyn or not.
He walked to his mirror and smashed it out of anger and he fell asleep with a bottle of vodka in his hands.
The next morning….
They were all gathered in the grandma house, it looked like they were all in a courtroom and the grandma was the judge who would decide the fate of both men.
Don was intentionally ignoring Roselyn who wanted to talk to him so badly but he kept on ignoring everything she was saying, he wanted to concentrate on the task which grandma will assign to him.
The grandma came out and glanced at everyone and she said, “Our company medicine herbs is going Into a bit of a loss in comparison to other competitors and also in a great loss to get the contact from Herbal Rise company.”
“Whoever gets a contract of one hundred million dollars from Herbal Rise company, will be getting married to My beautiful Roselyn and will get my full consent and support.” Grandma Nona said and went back to have her seat.
Don and Roselyn's eyes met in an uncomfortable manner, then grandma Nona walked up to him and said, “What is wrong Don I am not done with my conditions and it looks like you are backing out so soon.”
I am not backing out grandma, you may continue with the fellow conditions. Don replied Grandma with a courageous voice.
The CEO announced that he didn't want to see anyone for today, so Don couldn't see the CEO today but he will surely come the next day just like Mark.The receptionist couldn't hold her laughter as she was mocking Don as he was leaving and she was also busy admiring Mark who didn't show any interest in her whatsoever.Mark and his uncle went into their car and were waiting to tease Don before he entered into his Car and left. “Hey …man I can see your car is all banged up, why don't you hop with us in our vehicle.” Mark said, laughing all the way into his car.Don walked to his car and stood by the side thinking of what his next move is going to be and how is going to keep his marriage going with Roselyn, she is his key to his uncompleted mission and success.He went into his car and got a few missed calls from his secretary so he decided to call her back. “I have some information about your parent report,”she said quietly.“Tell me.” Don said looking at the huge company.The Herbal Ris
“Well ... .Well…Well, looks like I am the one that will be getting married to Roselyn pretty soon.”Mark said with a congerous tone in his tongue.‘I am the only one going through with this competition because this man is a coward, he has no balls to pull all this off.’ Don approached Mark, he faked a punch instead he fixed the collar of Mark like a then whispered to his ears.‘Look at the person that wants to compete with me….he can't even take over his father's company and he wants to crack a multimillionaire deal.’ Don said indirectly mocking Mark.Grandma Nona intentionally made this competition to make Don feel bad and quit it so Mark can win and get married to Roselyn and live a rich and comfortable life.She went on saying The Herbal Rise company works for Four Major Families and they have to take their time convincing them to have a contract with their company and crack the deal.She smirked then went on asking if the men were ready for their quests and the first to bring bac
chapter 8- Don sat across from the COO of Herbal Rise, his expression calm and composed. The room was tastefully furnished, but Don barely noticed the details. His focus was entirely on the task at hand. The man before him had power, but not nearly as much as Don intended to wield by the end of this meeting."Mr. Donovan," the COO began, adjusting his glasses and glancing at the notes in front of him. "You mentioned you have a vision for a new herbal product line. I'm intrigued, but also curious—what exactly do you have in mind?"Don leaned forward slightly, his voice steady and measured. "Herbal Rise has always been about quality, but the market is shifting. People want more than just products—they want a brand they can trust, something that feels personal. I propose we develop a new line that focuses on premium, ethically sourced ingredients. Products that aren't just effective, but that tell a story."The COO raised an eyebrow, clearly interested but cautious. "And you believe this
CHAPTER 9 - Don drove home with a sense of triumph coursing through his veins. The deal with Herbal Rise had gone through, solidifying his position and ensuring that his plan to bring down those responsible for his family’s demise was well on its way. He could barely contain his excitement as he thought about how Roselyn would react to the news. She had been his rock through everything, and now he was ready to share this victory with her.As he pulled into the driveway, Don could see the warm lights of their home glowing through the windows. He entered the house and found Roselyn waiting for him in the living room, her expression a mix of hope and nervous anticipation.“You’re back!” she exclaimed, standing up quickly. “How did it go?”Don’s face broke into a wide smile. “It’s done,” he said, his voice filled with pride. “I closed the deal with Herbal Rise.”Roselyn’s eyes lit up with joy, and she rushed to him, throwing her arms around his neck. “I knew you could do it!” she said, he
CHAPTER 10- Don sat on the edge of the bed, staring out of the window as the first rays of morning light crept into the room. The events of the past days had left him restless, his mind spinning with the weight of the secrets he had been carrying. Roselyn stirred beside him, her presence a comfort, yet he knew that he could no longer keep the truth from her. She deserved to know the full extent of what had driven him to secure the deal with Herbal Rise.Roselyn opened her eyes and immediately noticed the tension in Don’s posture. She sat up, placing a gentle hand on his back. “Don, what’s wrong? You’ve been so quiet since last night. I can tell something’s bothering you.”Don turned to her, his expression somber. He took her hand in his, holding it tightly as if drawing strength from her touch. “Roselyn, there’s something I need to tell you,” he began, his voice low and serious. “Something I should have told you a long time ago.”Roselyn’s heart skipped a beat. She could see the gravi
“When I return Don, I will make sure your life is miserable and you will be begging for alms on the streets of brooklyn.” Mark threatened Don as he had been embarrassed and tortured.He believed he had been wronged when Don got married to Roselyn, and he promises to get back at him for his dispute actions and promises to get married to Roselyn.Mrs Phoenix (Roselyn’s mom )wasn't happy with the decision of her daughter to get married to a financially disabled man . She promises to help Mark to destroy their marriage and make him her renowned son-in-law. Phoenix partially disowned Roselyn for making a bad decision and promises to give her a second chance only if she goes back to Mark.“You have to go back to Mark ….to secure a bright future.” Phoenix said while trying to manipulate Roselyn once again.“Well I've decided on my own future mom, and my future is not with Mark.” Roselyn shades back at her mom.Phoenix was so devastated after listening to her own daughter turn against her so
Rise and shine sleepy head….Don was unveiling the curtains to awake the sleeping beauty.Rosslyn adjusted her body to the other side avoiding the shades of the light coming from the window and also avoiding the thick voice of her annoying husband.See babe…Don said holding the legs of Rose but she kicked him immediately and covered her face in the pillow besides her trying not to listen to any explanation that came out of Don’s mouth.But Don didn't give up, he went closer to her eyes then whispered, “babe it is not my fault, I had other reasons for behaving that way towards you.”Rosslyn hissed … “So what warranted you to behave that way towards me last night.” Roselyn said, still avoiding Don.“I am more worried about losing you and less worried about your nightmares about me. After listening to this Rosellyn decided that she needed to listen closely to whatever Don had to day. Why are you more worried about me? Roselyn asked.Can't you see what is going on Don said angry and bit
13“Who are you again?”. Austin asked approaching Mark with a gun in his hands, he slowly moved closer to Mark with a suspicious look in his eyes. Mark could feel the heavy breath of Austin which made him uncomfortable.without getting the permission of Austin, Caleb went towards Mark and held his shirt and pinned him to the walls. He did this because he was expecting Mark to introduce himself but Mark was just playing around.“My brother is so calm and generous, he might spare your life but I won't stop at nothing to waste you now.” Caleb commented furiously with range going through his mind.“Why don't we have a drink and talk this through”. Shall we?? Mark said, laughing at his spectators.Austin could not take the irritating attitude of Mark anymore, he decided to approach with a death blow which made Mark start bleeding uncontrollably but with all the punishment brought upon him, Mark didn't give up.You are wasting my time, who are you? Austin asked Mark. He gave no answer so h
