Chapter 23

Meanwhile

Dorothy and Jeremy witnessed the entire scene from their car.

Dorothy was very furious because her plan didn't work but only backfired.

' But how could, CEO Daniel get a hold of the CCTV footage? , How come he appeared at that exact time, this sure isn't a coincidence, or is it? ' Dorothy thought Frowning.

" Darn!, How could Rose get away like that? " Dorothy exclaimed completely forgetting that Jeremy was still beside her.

" So it was you after all? , How could you do something like that? I didn't know that you could do something as belittling as that, What if Rose decided to call the cops? What would you do then? Where do you think I'll put my face? "

" Why are you suddenly Scolding me? I did that, so what? What can you do about it? Why would Rose Even call the cops? Will she even dare to do that? Moreover, why are you placing all the blame on me, it isn't my fault alright? Was I the one who got involved with that cheap model? "

" Don't you dare call her a cheap model! She isn't cheap alright? and Moreso have you forgotten about the fact that you were the one that left me, Dorothy! You left me Shattered and heartbroken! Do you know how I survived when you left? Do you know how many times I questioned my worth just because you left me? "

" But I am back now, am I not? "

" You have but it's not the same again. "

" Is it because of Rose? " She inquired.

" The world doesn't revolve around only Rose, Dorothy, there are some things that happen that are not related to her. "

" Really? "

" Let's go home. " He said ignoring her question.

" Aren't we going to continue our shopping? "

" We'll do it another day, I am tired I need to rest. "

" But... "

" You can continue if you want to but I am not interested again. "

" But our Engagement ceremony is in Three days, what are we going to Wear then? "

"As you said, it's still in three days so we can still shop tomorrow or you can just order your dress, it's simple. " He replied irritated.

" It'll be too late by then! " She protested.

" Are you going home now or not? " He asked in a cold tone.

Seeing the change in his tone Dorothy swallowed before she Nodded.

" Good. "

' I think he's still in love with that Slut because if not why would he suddenly become cold towards me? , I need to do something about this, soon! ' she thought.

' What's your Relationship with Ceo Daniel, Rose, I must find out! ' Jeremy thought, unknowingly he started to feel jealous.

Soon He arrived at his home after Dropping off Dorothy at her house.

He lived with his parents in a big mansion.

" Good afternoon, Sir. " The butler greeted but he ignored his greetings.

The middle-aged butler wasn't annoyed by this as he was well aware of the kind of person Jeremy was.

After walking into the living room.

" Good day, Son. "

" Good day, Mom. "

" How did the shopping and date with Miss Dorothy go? "

" Bad, we ended up leaving there without buying anything. "

" What do you mean? Did you offend Miss Dorothy with your stupidity? "

" Dad... "

" Don't, Dad me, I have always told you to try as much as possible to be super Nice to Miss Dorothy, she's our only triumph card, or do you want our family business to go down? Do you want to go back to square one? What do you think will happen if Dorothy decides to report this to her Grandpa? What will happen to us then? " His Dad ranted.

" Am sorry, Dad. "

" You should be and Don't just be sorry, reflect on your mistake and try to find a solution to it before the day ends! "

" Alright, Dad. "

" Good. "

Jeremy walked to his Room after Unlocking it he shut the door behind him.

" Damnit! " He said hitting the door with his fists.

Sometimes he wished that he wasn't born in a family-like his, he wished he had the freedom to do whatever he liked, he wished he didn't have to think about the family's welfare before his.

" It sucks! "

To be honest he wasn't really happy with Dorothy as the latter was very arrogant and spoilt though he once loved her and maybe he still did but he doesn't even understand himself anymore.

He always thought he still loved Dorothy but no he doesn't anymore, if he had a choice now he would break off the engagement, but he couldn't as this wasn't just about himself anymore but also about his entire family and business, his family badly needs the alliance of Dorothy's Family.

It would have been easier for him to continue with all of this if he hadn't seen Rose today but seeing her today with Ceo Daniel he felt a pang in his heart and also a sense of Possession.

He could recall the lyrics of, Let her go by Passenger.

' Well, you only need the light when it's burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

Only hate the road when you're missing home

Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass

Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

But dreams come slow, and they go so fast

You see her when you close your eyes

Maybe one day, you'll understand why

Everything you touch surely dies

And you let her go

Oh, oh, mm, oh

And you let her go

Oh, oh, uh, uh

Well, you let her go.... '

Deep inside him, he wanted Rose back he wanted her Back to his Side but maybe it is too late now, but maybe it isn't after all the latter isn't married yet, or is she? But what about his family's business? He couldn't afford to lose it, he can't even imagine returning to square one, so as always he has to choose money and power above his feelings.

He then decided to freshen up but before he did he Made sure to Send Dorothy an Apology message.

' Hey Dorothy, I am sorry about earlier, I was in a pretty bad mood, so sorry for blaming you, please forgive me, I'll pick you up tomorrow at 9 am so we can go out on a date.

Take care, Hon. Bye. '

After typing he tapped the send button and immediately he did the message was delivered.
