I will find a way

Roselyn rushed into Beverlly's arms as soon as she got home, confiding in her mother.

Both the daughter and mother sat at the dining table trying to find solutions to their current problems.

Roselyn gulped down her full glass of wine causing Beverlly to frown.

" I'm sorry dear but please take it slow but since when do you drink?" Beverlly scolded her daughter.

Roselyn raised her eyebrows, glaring at her mom quietly. Beverlly felt helpless for a moment before composing her natural demeanor again.

"With your qualifications, I think you can bag yourself a paying job soon.

Start slow and somehow you will win, I'm going to calling Eunice so please calm down." Roselyn raised her glass cheering to her mom who walked to the study for a phone call.

'It's not gonna help anyway.' Roselyn took her bag and went out the house to take a walk down the street.

This walk should distress her mind but she also planned to stop by at the famous local bar and drown her sorrows.

"Eunice you are so unbelievable, your daughter stole my daughter's work and slept with her boyfriend at your house but you have nothing to say now?" Beverlly lowered her impatient.

"I'm sorry little sister but this is between our kids, Michael is at fault not Mia. She told me that Michael seduced her first and I believe her. Please do not overthink things right now, be there for Roselyn. Mia told me that instead of submitting her work she mistakenly clicked on Roselyn's work so I'm sincerely sorry sister." Eunice softened her tone trying to convince her sibling.

"It's okay sister, trusting you was a mistake I guess!" Bervelly replied codly to her sister on the line.

"Ohh by the way, have you found a buyer Beverlly?"

Beverlly hung up on her sister and stormed out of the study.

"Baby I talked to your auntie and..." Beverlly stopped at the dining table seeing a small note.

'Mom don't stress about it, I will find a way for us.

I'm taking a late night walk so please don't expect me tonight.

I love you mom'

A helpless sigh escaped from Beverlly's lips.

She felt powerless again, this feeling felt familiar like when her husband David sent divorce papers without any explanations.

"I have to break this recent curses for her!" Beverlly broke down and sobbed.

She took sad heavy steps to her bedroom.

It was already 8pm when Roselyn staggered out of the bar. She wore a green bodycon that hugged her curves nicely, stopping mid thigh.

She clutched her bag closely and went on to walk from the bar.

Men thought she was a hooker and tried to offer her lifts but she declined and bailed from the place. At this time, cabs were unavailable but it was a perfect thing to Roselyn who had drowned her sorrows in alcohol and wanted a fresh air.

The road was not busy as it was during the week. People preferred being indoors at this time of the week to spend time with their happy families.

"Be strong Roselyn, I will find a way for you!" Roselyn laughed with tears running down her cheeks.

Her head was spinning furiously and her steps got more heavier so she bent down to remove her heels slowly, however there were strong lights approaching her way in a full speed. Roselyn raised her head but the lights blurred her vision for a moment. The man behind the wheel got scared when he saw a figure and tried to avoid bumping into her.

The car screeched to a halt just inches from Roselyn avoiding collision.

She heard the sound and fainted immediately.

The man behind the wheel quickly ran to her side to check on her.

"She is breathing boss now what should we do?" The man asked his boss who had already stood next to him.

"Don't waste my time Jasper, who just faints from this little accident...maybe she's a hooker!" The man replied in a cold tone but Jasper had already picked up Roselyn and took her to the car back seat, gently placing her in a sitting position.

The man sighed and got back to the car ...keeping a gap distance from Roselyn.

"Sorry Mr Liam." The man looked from the rearview mirror and pleaded to his boss.

"You gonna pay for this, now drive." Liam shot back codly.

The drive took about 30 minutes, stopping to the Foster hotel parking lot however Roselyn was still in a deep sleep.

Liam got out of the car impatiently, Jasper followed with Roselyn in his arms. The hotel guard approached them to help out but was given the order to collect the woman's belongings in the car.

They went in Liam's hotel suite. Roselyn was put on the couch by Jasper who even put a blanket over her.

Jasper was staring at Roselyn's sleeping face, admiring her beauty. Liam saw this and seethed with impatience.

"You can take her with you if really like her or just get out of here!" Liam interrupted his assistant ...scaring him.

" I'm sorry about this sir. It won't happen again." Jasper hurriedly bailed out of the room to avoid his cold boss.

Liam smirked and took a step towards the sleeping woman. This woman had captivated him the moment he saw her lying on the ground but she looked like a hooker to him hence he kept his distance.

"Mom I will find a way." Roselyn spoke from her dreams startling Liam who took heavy steps back.

Roselyn woke up to the sounds of running water from the bathroom. She sat down to scan the unfamiliar place and panicked.

She was pacing up and down on the space clutching her bag closely. A tall man stopped right in front of her, raising his eyebrow.

"Umm, who are you!" Roselyn shouted a the man, avoiding his bare chest.

"You are in my space right now so I should be asking you that question not you lady! Anyway you fainted after my assistant almost ran you over so you can sleep here or get out of my suite." Liam turned his back and went to the bedroom.

Roselyn was stunned but couldn't be defeated by a stranger so she followed him stopping right behind him.

"Okay I will stay, do you have any wine?" She asked with a faint smile.

Liam turned around and saw her smile, he smirked and grabbed her shoulders with a tight grip.

Roselyn frowned in pain, staring at the man before her. His bare chest took her attention that she quickly forgot about the pain. The white towel on his lower body added to the good view causing her to gulp down her saliva.

"If you are a hooker, I don't need your services at the moment so becareful lady." Liam gritted his teeth and let go of her shoulders, taking one step back from her.

"Ouch you are so rough man, I'm not a hooker and yeah I see that you are hot or something but I'm not interested. I want to drown my sorrows and talk to somebody right now and by the look of it ... you are just available for me right now." Roselyn smiled at Liam.

"Okay feel at home then!" Liam sighed taking out a bottle from the drawer handing it to Roselyn.

"The glasses are on that room." Liam pointed to the living room.

"Thank you much stranger." Roselyn giggled going out to grab the two glasses.

Liam was sitting on the bed busying himself with his phone when Roselyn came back and threw herself on his bed. Liam's face darkened instantly but Roselyn disrupted him before he even spoke.

"I need a drinking partner, stranger!"
