Chapter Twenty-Seven

Author Pov

Rose stared out of the airplane window, her fingers gripping the armrest tightly as her heart pounded in her chest.

She couldn't believe she was going back to her country after almost six months of her disappearance. The memories flooded her mind, each one filled with pain and betrayal.

As the plane touched down, Rose took a deep breath and collected her thoughts. She had left this country unconscious and broken, left only with the hope of escaping the painful memories that still haunted her every day. But now that circumstances had changed and she was back and better, she had prepared for a long time for her return. Stepping out of the room in the plane, I looked atthe familiar surroundings.

Six men dressed in an all-black suit and leather shoes waited patiently by the Maybach Exelero packed in front of the plane for the arrival of Canda's most special guest and heiress.

Letting down the air stairs, the six men immediately went towards the airplane and waited by the stairs to welcome her.

Rose felt a mix of nostalgia and anxiety. The packing apron apron lined with street lights shining brightly, emulating the darkness around them, and the bustling Canadian wind welcomed her, yet there was no sign of anyone except her.

She smirked as she looked around slightly, her eyes stopping at the hired paparazzi on the other side of the packing apron taking pictures of her for the media.

"Rose," Anna called, yelling her name.

Rose whirled around, facing her with a smile, before marching towards her. Her hands clutched tightly to her handbag.

Ever since the incident with her uncle, she has had a hard time fully trusting the woman in front of her, but she needed her at the moment, so it was better to keep her close.

"Hello Anna," she said, hugging her sideways and lacing a kiss on both her cheeks.

"Are you doing alright?" The woman asked, looking at her with so much affection, making Rose want to melt back for the woman in front of her.

"Yes," Rose responded, nodding her head to confirm her words.

"Are you sure you want to do this, dear? It's a long process." Anna asked again.

She nodded her head one more time before making her way towards the Maybach Exelero.

"Is everything ready, Ann?" Rose asked the woman before sitting inside the vehicle and looking at the woman standing before her expectantly.

"Yes, don't worry, dear." Anna replied, putting on her sunglasses and going towards the Range Rover packed at the back of Rose's car.

After months of exile, she finally mustered the courage to return; it was too late to back out when she had already taken a half-step into her revenge plan.

Besides, the memories of betrayal still haunted her, but the difference was that she knew that she couldn't let fear dictate her life any longer. It was time to face Ryan and Selena to seek the justice she so desperately craved.

As Rose's car drove out of the airport, she felt a mix of anticipation and trepidation. The familiar sights and sounds of her country welcomed her, but she knew that things would never be the same. She had changed; she was now hardened by the pain and betrayal she had endured from her close ones.

Rose had spent a month gathering information and meticulously planning her revenge. She had discovered that Ryany had become a powerful businessman; using the advantage of being her fiance, he had added some percentage of her shares in the company to his and was still using his charm and cunning to manipulate those around him.

Selena, on the other hand, had risen to prominence in the modeling arena, using her intelligence and charisma to further her own agenda, helping Ryan as much as she could to be where he was by selling her body to businessmen in exchange for their investment.

Too bad they both don't know she was alive and breathing, and they both only work and earn more money for her.

With her newfound knowledge, Rose knew that she had to strike when they least expected it. She had to be cunning, just as they had been. She had to play a game, but this time she had to be the one in control.

Rose needed to be infiltrated by Ryan's inner circle, introducing herself as Alfonso's wife anda wealthy socialite. She needs to attend all those lavish parties and charity events she has turned down in the past.

She needed to be closer to the richer socialites, taking it as an advantage to gather evidence of their illegal activities and also build a new network for herself.

She knew that exposing her true identity to the world now would be the first step towards her revenge.

She needed to let them know she was back and better and definitely not going to be easy to take down.

After gathering her thoughts together, she picked up her phone and scrolled through the internet. She smirked as she saw the headlines.

' Said to be deceased, Ms. Rose Alexander was spotted at XXXX Airport in Canada on Wednesday, July 2, 2022, on a chilly evening. '

' Could Ms. Rose Alexander have been found? experts asked as an image of the heiress is seen circling the internet presently. '

The headlines continued rolling in, just like she expected.

"We are here, Mam." The driver called, drawing her out of her thoughts.

She nodded at him slightly as he opened the back door for her to step out.

She looked at the exotic hostel in front of her before turning her gaze at the car parked beside her.

Anna looked at her, nodding before stepping into the building.

Rose waited outside patiently, waiting to get her signal to step into the party.

-----------------------------

Meanwhile, inside the party, the Canadian old woman swayed her hips seductively, making her way towards the host of the event.

"Mr. XXX, I'm sorry I'm late. Please be ready to give my speech, as I don't have much time. I hope you understand." She statement.

The old man smiled at her before making his way to the stage and welcoming her.

"I would love to thank everyone for this warm welcome. As you all know, it's been a long time since I stood in front of a crowd and worked on any project, since I retired quite a long time ago. So for me, it had to be necessary to have a welcome hand." She said this, stopping to look at Mr. XXX, who smiled at her.

He was eager to see whoever this big shot she had mentioned to him earlier was.

"I would also like to thank Mr. XXX for this opportunity." She clapped a little.

"With no further delay, please help me welcome my partner, daughter, and friend, Mr. Alfonso Tommaso." She called out

The entire hall erupted with gasps as everyone turned to look around, eager to see who the new miss was.

Selena turned around, hoping to finally see who was able to seize that cold-hearted man's heart.

She had tried seducing him in the past but only ended up making a fool of herself; now she was eager to know what it was that his new bride has that she doesn't.

The door opened, revealing Rose, and she elegantly made her way towards the stage, not turning even once, even though tempted.

She got on stage, hugging Anna one more time before grabbing the mic.

"Thanks Anna, but you seem to have gotten something wrong; my name is still To after all; whoops, I mean my name is now Mrs. Rose Alexander Tommaso." She said this, covering her mouth as a chuckle escaped.

The entire hall was shocked, with some gasping while others looked around confused.

But a particular couple sat there frozen and shocked at who they were seeing.

And just like that, Rose completed the first part of her revenge plan, and simultaneously, she delved into the world of socialites, using her intelligence and, of course, her husband's and friend's power.
