Rosalynn fell silent.
She was simply aiming for a little playful punishment, not some tantalizing game.
His knack for turning tables was exasperating.
Suddenly, the door from the opposite apartment swung open.
Maggie burst out, clutching her bag.
Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets at the sight of Brianâs half-naked form and Rosalynn standing there with his belt in hand.
âRosalynn! Mr.
Hughes!â she called out.
Rosalynn felt her face heat up.
She wished the floor would swallow her whole.
Stepping in front of Brian, she hissed, âGet in, now!â
Unfazed, Brian simply arched an eyebrow, opening their apartment door and sauntering inside.
Rosalynn, smoothing her disarrayed hair, turned to face the still-astounded Maggie.
âWhat are you doing out so Late?â
Maggie gaped at her.
The CEO and his wife, she mused, were far more daring than she had ever imagined.
On hearing Rosalynnâs words, Maggie was jolted back to the reality of her situation,
âOh, my mother⦠Sheâs been admitted to the hospital.
I must rush there,â she explained, urgency replacing her shock.
Rosalynnâs playful demeanor dissolved into concern.

âMy aunt showed up again, causing trouble at our home,â Maggie explained, biting her lower Lip anxiously.
âMy mom got pushed, hit her head and fainted.
Theyâve moved her to the hospital.
â
Rosalynnâs brow furrowed at the unpleasant news.
âYou shouldnât be alone at a time like this.
Iâll accompany you.
â
Given Maggieâs familyâs lack of support, it worried Rosalynn to think of her navigating through this crisis alone.

âI can manage on my own.
Donât worry about it.
Get some rest with Mr.
Hughes.
â Maggie declined politely.
âDonât be silly.
Your uncleâs family isnât easy to deal with.
Going there alone right now, you might be taken advantage of.
â Rosalynn protested.
âButâ¦â
âRosalynn, where are you heading?â
Brian, now in his casual clothes, stepped out.
âMaggieâs mother is in the hospital.
I was planning to accompany her,â
Rosalynn explained.
Brianâs heart clenched.
âDonât.
