Chapter 2 - Her Demand

Okay, so you still don't believe me? Fine! I'll prove it to you. He showed Ricardo's number on his contact list to me.

"See, I even have his number." He dialed the number and put the phone in speaker mode.

"Hello, Mr. Ricardo? It's me, I've kidnapped Rose and am on my way to the cliff now.

"Ricardo is not here right now, but good job, you'll receive the payment once this is all over." To Rose's surprise, it was not his voice, it was a woman's voice.

Oh, it's Miss Morgan. I am also looking forward to the bonus you mentioned before". The man smiled, his tone suddenly became polite.

Miss Morgan? There was only one woman with that surname she knew of. It was Diana Morgan. She was Ricardo's first love and ex. They meet at university and date for a bit, but they eventually break up. Rose didn't know the reason why. She never bothered to ask either. The only thing she knew was that after their breakup, Diana went to get her master's degree in the US and got married to the son of a business magnate there.

The last news she heard about Diana was about her failed business in the US and her divorce case with her current husband.

"Diana? Why is Ricardo's phone with you? Rose asked her.

Ah, Rose, you're listening? Well, that makes everything easier. I am with him, obviously. He is taking a shower right now, that's why I'm holding his phone. Rose couldn't believe what she was hearing. Why would Ricardo stay with this woman? How could she access his phone?

"Give it to Ricardo, I want to speak with him." Rose demanded, but Diana just laughed.

That's not possible. He doesn't want to have anything to do with you anymore. Don't you understand? That's why he's planning to kill you and those rogue children of yours. Rose's world shattered when she heard those words, but she was also upset.

Don't you dare call my children rogue! They are mine and Ricardo's! Rose said.

Ah, who cares? You and those kids will be dead soon. She laughed before continuing.

You know, Ricardo told me that he really hated you. In his eyes, you're just a pest who used your pregnancy to blackmail him into marrying you. Don't you know that? I shook my head in disbelief. No, there's no way! We love each other and Ricardo loves these children. I refused.

You're delusional! After you die, I will take your place as Ricardo's fiancee and, eventually, his wife. We are going to get married and have a lot of children together. Those words pierced Rose's heart. Drops of tears began to fall from her eyes.

Okay, enough chit-chat. Listen here, there's a suicide note prepared in advance for you, just sign it and die. With that, Diana hung up the call and the driver handed over a piece of paper to her.

"Sign this and I will let you have an easy death." He threatened. Rose took a look at the paper, and she was shocked at what was written. Apparently, the suicide note declared that the children she had weren't his, and she had been cheating on him the entire time. Because he was so kind to her, she couldn't bear the guilt of lying to him and decided to end her own life.

Rose had never seen anything more ridiculous in her life.
