Charity Event

Arthur and Rose arrived when most of the guests had already arrived.

He wore a black tuxedo with his hair combed to the back while Rose wore an A-line emerald green dress, with her hair in curly flowing down her shoulders.

Everybody admired them when they arrived.

Arthur moved around as he introduced the guests to her one by one.

He later got her a seat since she could not stand for long, and left to greet the other guests who arrived.

"It seems he can't go anywhere without you " Rose heard a voice behind her, it was Vivian.

"Why? you thought you had a chance this time " Rose sneered at her

"He's now a dog on a leach being controlled by you " said Vivian

She sat down next to her and looked her up and down.

"You really dolled up, but am not sure if it's for Arthur or for the male guests " Vivian insulted Rose

"Am not which of us is dressed for that. If you see clearly am dressed like a soon to be mother and wife, but as for..I can't say the same with that too seductive dress you wore " Rose exclaimed.

Vivian felt her ears burn as she bit her lip with anger.

"Don't be happy yet, your downfall is soon coming " Vivian left in anger.

Rose felt her something kick her belly, she slowly caressed it.

"You agree with me?" she whispered to the baby who had just reacted.

Arthur came back to her with a glass of water and a plate of red apples.

"Do they serve those at a charity event?" she asked.

"They do if it's the CEO 's pregnant fiance who is present " He said.

"Sometimes I wonder who you love more, me or the baby "

"I love the baby but I love you more " he said with a smile.

"Just go and attend to the guests " She pushed him away.

Rose soon became bored that she decided to play games on her phone.

Vivian had made sure not to lose sight of Rose, she had been watching her every move like a hawk eyeing little chicks.

"Even when you stare at her like that it won't change the fact that he loves her " Archie told her. He had just arrived and saw her gazing at Rose who looked lovely.

"She's really a beautiful woman " he admired.

"Don't make me sick, if you're not going to help me then leave " Vivian yelled.

"Calm your self down, when the time is right I will make a move. For now, just watch and keep out of Arthur's sight " Archie told her.

Rose stood up and headed to the restrooms but she didn't notice that someone was following her. She came out and washed her hands after she was done.

That when the door open and Archie entered and locked the main door.

"What are you doing here? " she asked feeling her body shiver by the sight of his face.

"Our last encounter was short that I wanted to see you again "

"I have nothing to say to you so please get out " "But I do, won't you let me say it " Archie came closer to her

"Please keep your distance " her voice held fear in it as she told him.

Archie gave her space and moved backward.

"So I think after our last meeting you told Arthur about your past? "

"Why would I tell him something from the past, it's the past it should be left that way. But why are you trying to bring it back? " Rose yelled.

Archie smiled as he stared at her now pale beautiful face.

"I would have left it that way but since you appeared in his life I think it would be right if I did. He hated me for something he did and made me the bad apple in the family .so I will use this to hurt him too " Archie gave her a crooked smile.

"Please leave me alone or I will tell Arthur you're harassing me " she pushed him away so she could escape from the room.

Archie moved fast and stood between her and the door.

"I didn't say I was done talking to you " he grabbed her shoulders and pushed her on one of the toilet doors.

Rose felt a sharp pain pass through her back from the impact of the push

"You're hurting me you lunatic " she screamed

Archie put his hand on her mouth to stop her from screaming.

"Don't scream or you will attract attention " he whispered.

He used his free hand to aggressively pull up her dress, he touched her soft hips moving upwards to her warm part.

Rose screamed and struggled but he held her in place. She felt his dirty hands caress her hips as he advanced to her private part.

She used all her energy and pushed him away before he reached it.

Archie stumbled hitting his back on the sink

Rose ran and opened the door rushing out. But knocked into Vivian who was standing outside.

She didn't think but push her out of the way running towards the hall where the event was held.

Archie came out holding his back in pain and saw Vivian down on the floor.

"What did you do to her you bastard?" she yelled at him

"I think I went too far and pissed her off " he said as he helped Vivian up.

"Are you crazy, we are supposed to just scare her not piss her off, what if she tells Arthur what we are doing ?"

"She won't, her past is too painful for her to tell him. She doesn't even remember his face " Archie explained.

"Let's leave before Arthur's men start looking for the person who harassed his wife.

Arthur had been looking for Rose when he came back from greeting the guests, but She wasn't at the table he had left her.

He asked his men to look for her but failed.

He asked a waiter who informed him that he saw her head for the restrooms.

He sat down and waited for her to return
