Love Knows No Bounds novel (Kendall and Dylan)

"What are you doing?" Rosemi hissed. "A robbery? Call the cops!"

"You're welcome to do that," one of the bodyguards said before turning to the driver. "This woman owes our boss a lot of money. She's trying to escape, so don't meddle in our business."

The cab driver stepped on the pedal immediately to avoid joining the fray.

"W-Who are you?" Rosemi, who was surrounded by the bodyguards, wore a vicious face despite the fear coursing through her veins. "I'm warning you, if you dare lay a finger on me, I won't let you get away from this. Whom are you working for?"

"Young Master Dylan."

Her bag dropped onto the ground with a thud.

Young Master Dylan! Since when was he wary of me? Did he find out about what Kelly and I did?

After the car accident, she urged the middleman to wire the money to the truck driver to buy him off. She then packed up her stuff to escape, trying to keep herself under the radar.

The Whittle Family's downfall was in her favor, too; no one paid attention to her now that she was no longer the superior Mrs. Whittle. She thought that she would be able to leave Orapolis without anyone knowing.

She left the evidence to Tom, asking him not to reveal it to the public unless they were in a tight spot. He had to keep Kelly and the baby safe.

She even figured that midnight would be the perfect time to escape, but Dylan had been keeping an eye on her all this time!

She was aware of how capable he was. The fact that he had his men watching her attested to his suspicions about her. Of course, it might be aroused because of Kelly.

"Is it not enough that my family ends up like this because of him? Would all of these happen if he hadn't married Kendall?" Rosemi despised Dylan because everything wouldn't have turned out this way if it wasn't for his marriage with Kendall. That couple was perceived as a terrible omen to her; in her opinion, whoever associated with them would end up badly.

Therefore, Rosemi cursed them every single day, hoping they would stay infertile and wishing Dylan to abandon Kendall one day. Rosemi had nothing but vile, insidious hatred for them.

"I'm warning you! If you take me away, I will take this matter to court under the verdict of kidnap!"

"Do you have the money to sue us?" The bodyguard shut her up with facts. "Return to your house, and don't think of leaving the city. We will be guarding the place, so unless you jump off the building and leave via soul, there's no way out for you."

Her visage turned grim. "How dare you watch me! I'm calling the cops!"

"Very well. Do as you please." His expression was even amused as he whisked out his phone and handed it to her, daring her to call the cops.

Unfortunately, no matter how enraged she was, she did not have the nerve to call the cops due to guilt. The sheer sight of a police officer terrified her. Whenever she heard the sirens in passing, she thought the police were coming after her.

A guilty conscience needed no accusers.

Ultimately, an infuriated Rosemi returned to her rental house with her luggage. Tom, who was sitting on the couch dazedly, was surprised to see his wife back. "What's wrong? Why are you still here? Just go! What if the police find out that you're behind this? It'll be a death sentence!"

Their son was still behind bars. If she were taken into custody, it truly would be over for their family.

She slumped onto the couch, deflated. "I'm done for, Tom."

"What happened?"

"Young Master Dylan's men are guarding the apartment. There's no way out. I think he's grown suspicious of me. How does his brain even work? How did he find me out so quickly?" It hadn't been twenty-four hours since the car accident happened, yet she was already on Dylan's suspect list.

"They're out there? Why is he literally everywhere?! He and Frank are such a pill!" He stood up to look out of the window. A few men were seen guarding the place, and he stomped back and forth in the living room restlessly.

"They didn't do anything. They're just watching me, so I can't leave. I think he doesn't have any evidence yet. It's just his suspicions. Stop walking here and there. You're making me dizzy."

"This is just the start. He will get his hands on the evidence soon. Honey, is the truck driver reliable? What about the middleman? Are you sure that he has wired the money to the driver's family?"

Rosemi went silent for a moment before muttering hesitantly, "I think he did."

She pulled a lot of strings to get in contact with that middleman. The only thing that held the two strangers together was solely money.

"If the middleman runs away with the money, we're doomed."

"What are we gonna do, Tom?" She became anxious. She had indeed mentally prepared to kick the bucket alongside the Parker couple. But when she saw that the Parkers were fine, she refused to turn herself in and ended things right then.

Things didn't go as planned; her targets did not die in the accident, but a total of eight innocent people were sacrificed instead.

Not only the truck driver and the middleman, Rosemi and Kelly might be sentenced to death.

"We can't leave here either. Honey, we have two choices now. One is to wait for the police to come to our doorstep, and the other one is turning yourself in. If you do so, you won't be able to protect Kelly, but I don't think she'll receive a death sentence right away because of the baby. But... Once the baby is born, she won't be able to escape the consequences."

Rosemi parted her lips without uttering a word before finally mumbling, "I did those things to help Kelly get rid of her enemies so that she can have everything she desires, which will be bestowed on our grandchild in the future. Plus, Jackson could've made a comeback when he's out of prison."

"Don't be silly. Jackson is the baby's father, but she will never help him. She has changed, Rosemi. She's been using us all this time."

"I know, but I just loath Kendall. I want that girl to suffer!" She was clever enough to tell that she was Kelly's chess piece.

"Think about Brian and Kelly's affair. We promised to protect her if she helped Jackson out, but she didn't!"

Kelly and Brian's affair infuriated the couple. Although she did not marry Jackson, she was pregnant with Jackson's baby! What if she lost the baby while hanging out with Brian? That was the future of the Whittle Family in her belly!

It would be a lie to say that the Whittle couple did not resent Kelly for her choices.

"Tom, give me some time to cool down my head and think." In the end, Rosemi conceded, although her mind was an utter mess.
