Rose is the sweet and kind-hearted secretary to the cold, calculative and unbelievably hot CEO, Alec. She finds herself naked, covered with only his shirt, lying in his bed after a drunken night at a corporate party. She is enraged and blames him for taking advantage of her but Alec swears up and down that they hadn’t spent the night together. He doesn’t tell her the full story, to protect her from further embarrassment. She relents and ends up believing him. So, she was dumbfounded when she found out a couple weeks later that she is pregnant! Alec is surprised but equally happy when he finds out that Rose is pregnant with his child, the heir to the Xander Business Empire. The only issue? Rose believes that since they had never shared a bed, her ex-boyfriend must be the father instead. Her ex, the CEO of a failing rival company, shows up in hopes of ensnaring Rose back to him. How will the over-protective and over-possessive Alec react to some other man rubbing his hands all over the secret to-be mother of his child? Will he be able to tell his secret to Rose and still have a relationship left to enjoy?

Alec looks at her with a smirk. “How confidently you hung up on me thinking I would not be able to find you.” Looking at his watch he says, “Less than two hours and you are in front of me.”The smirk on his face angers Rose. “Congratulations! Your prize will be delivered to your home directly. Please wait to hear from us and keep a lookout for the mail.”Saying this mockingly, she starts walking towards the door and adds, “Now if you’ll excuse me, I would like you to leave.”Just as her hand touches the doorknob, Alec places his on top of hers. “Not so fast, honey. Did you think I came over to check the color of the walls?”Pulling her flush against his chest he tells her, “Pack your shit, we are going home, right now.”Rose also gets closer to his face and staring into his eyes, defiantly says, “Not happening. I am not going anywhere with you. Go wherever you have to. You are free. But now, so am I.”Alec glares at her angrily, “Free? Free to do what? And you think I’ll just let you

While Rose had confidently and somewhat arrogantly hung up on Alec without letting him get in another word, now she was slightly worried. She knew, with his resources he would be able to find her soon enough. Thankfully, she had some money on her personal card so she had been able to keep the hotel transaction away from Alec’s eyes.The conversation with Alec had put in some nuggets of information in her head and she now wondered if she was overreacting. She needed to talk to someone unbiased.Eric though wise, was out of the question since he had always been like Alec’s guardian angel and Rose felt he would only be biased. And now with Sarah marrying him, she had also been ruled out since meeting her might give her and Henry’s location away.Maya is also ruled out since she had been dealing with a lot herself including Mark’s ill health, handling the place by herself, and also taking care of Carina.As she thinks of all the options, the only name that comes to mind is Derek. He knew h

That whole day Alec stays at home and attends to all his calls from there and Rose also does not step out for anything. Nelly is entrusted with dropping and later picking up Henry from school.Sometime in the evening Alec leaves for a meeting with one of the clients but not before reiterating his words from earlier to Rose.Rose, who had just been waiting for this moment, immediately jumps into action. Quickly going over to Henry’s room, she tries to calmly explain things to him. “Henry, your dad has gone out for now. How about you and I also go take a trip? We could stay in a nice hotel, order room service.”Henry’s eyes brighten up at the thought of a trip and immediately agrees. Ordering a cab over an app, she quickly starts dragging both of their bags to the door but Nelly sees this and comes to talk to her.“Darling, you didn’t tell me you were planning to go somewhere. Let me at least help with the bags?”Rose, not wanting to keep Nelly in the dark, quickly blurts out the truth t

“Alec, I think we both need some time apart from each other to really think about this relationship and what we really want.”Alec is dumbfounded upon hearing these words coming from his Rose. For a moment he thinks he has misheard but then he sees the sad expression on her face he realizes she did say it.As he tries to process these words in his head, he feels his body going in into a state of shock for a minute before he harshly gets up from his chair and approaches her.Seeing him angrily marching towards her, Rose also gets up. She was expecting some reaction from him but she wanted him to know she was serious about this.As he gets in front of her, he asks with gritted teeth, “What do you mean? Say it again.”His glare does nothing to her resolve. If anything, it pushes her to be more persistent in her decision. “I thought I was pretty clear. We both need time apart, Alec. I don’t think right now we are on the same page. And I refuse to spend time under your roof when we aren’t

The next few weeks after Henry’s birthday keep getting a little tougher for Rose.Not only does she find herself getting tired easily, but as the days progress, she feels her course keeps getting more difficult. While for some subjects she is able to draw her knowledge from her work experience there are quite a lot which she is learning from scratch.Not having had a habit of daily studying, turning in papers, and attending online lectures, she finds time management most difficult. However, despite the tough schedule, she continues to drop and pick up Henry from school. They still have all their meals together and she still reads two bedtime stories to him every day. They now also do a video call with Carina every alternate day. Although Rose has a feeling Henry also bulldozes Nelly to dial Maya on all the other days when she is not around. But she does not begrudge her son for having a good friend.After the first two weeks, Sarah surprises them with a visit to their house. Rose is de

The first few days after coming back from the wedding Rose seriously thinks about her life and what she wants to do. Her college is supposed to start next week and while mostly she can do her studies from home, she has to spend some time at campus too on certain days.Initially Rose had assumed that once Alec is back, he would stay on and they would be able to manage her schedule between the two of them so that Henry can always be taken care of. But now with Alec off to California once again, she realizes this might keep happening off and on and that she should not rely on him. He hadn’t really made the effort to call or text as much as she thought she could expect from him. So, anything more from him would be impossible.The schedule of the course was going to be pretty hectic. She had seen the course details and since she had not been inside a college in little less than a decade, she knew the habit and routine to start studying would take time for her to form.However, schedule, mon

Making her way back to her room an hour later, Rose is lost in thoughts as her conversation with Derek runs through her head.She was happy that Derek had managed to sort his life out and was doing something that made him happy instead of staying in the rat race and getting ahead in the corporate world. He just did not want any attention on him.She was surprised that he had gotten married so soon after meeting Dharma but the way his eyes had lit up when he talked about his hippie wife, she knew they were both happy. So, when he had asked about her and Alec, she didn’t know what to say. Yes, she had been happy with Alec but the fact that he did not wish to commit to her somewhere hurt her.Derek had shared that he had told everything about his past with Dharma and she had been never once judged. The fact that she had also gotten in drugs for a while before kicking the habit had been another thing which had brought them together. They knew the importance of staying clean and working on

The next morning Sarah’s dad walks her down the aisle where she and Eric exchange their vows in the presence of an ordained minister and all their friends and family. Despite having heard it at least a hundred times, Rose finds herself tearing up when Sarah says her vows holding Eric’s hand.Growing up initially in an orphanage and later in foster homes, Rose hadn’t had too many celebrations in life. However, she had always had that dream of wearing a beautiful white wedding gown and getting married to her prince charming. In none of her past relationships, she had ever felt it might happen to her. But getting together with the extremely devoted Alec, her dream of having that beautiful church wedding had resurfaced. But five years later her passport still had her listed as single. And now that dream had faded away and she had made her peace with it.So later when after the wedding reception, all the single women line up behind Sarah, waiting to catch the bouquet when she throws it, Ros

That night Alec sleeps with Rose in his arms thinking maybe the next morning things will be different. But by the time he wakes up he finds his Rose missing from the bed and the whole household is in a flurry of activities.He remembers they are all supposed to move to the hotel that afternoon. Eric and Sarah had decided to do away with their bachelor and bachelorette party but had kept celebrations at the hotel over the entire weekend.Striding over to Henry’s room he hears his son complaining, no doubt to his Rose. “Mama, why is aunty Maya not staying here with us this time?”Rose giggles hearing his question. “Oh! You are missing your aunty, Maya? I shall tell her to come over here. But uncle Mark and Carina can stay there only. Is that, ok?”Color floods Henry’s cheek as he pushes his head into mom’s chest trying to hide his face. Alec hears a muffled “Mama please” followed by more of Rose’s giggles.Alec pulls both of them in his arms before placing a kiss on Rose’s cheek and aski
