Ralph in the end told Arthur everything about Rose's kidnapping. He was furious that they had hidden it from him for that long.
Without delay, he boarded the next plane to return home. Sean had to stay back to finish the rest of the work.
He arrived home at midnight. he walked into his parent's home, they were all waiting for him in the living room.
" Son, we can explain " his father had started. But Arthur cut him off with the raise of his hand.
They all could feel his cold demeanor, as he looked at them with his cold angry eyes.
"I don't have time for this, all I care about is my wife and the twins. If none of you is going to help me find them then please leave " he said.
Ralph and Harry got up and followed Arthur to the study while the rest stayed back.
After telling him all they had done, Arthur called the president who agreed to help him.
"Where could she hide that we can't find her ?" he wondered.
Arthur stayed in the study with his men who showed him all the places they had been to but still failed to track Victoria.
"SHE'S BACK !?..." he heard Irene's voice shout.
Arthur ran out of the study towards the living room. He found them all outside hugging Rose.
"Butterfly !...". he called in a halting voice.
She looked up from his mother's embrace who had been hugging her. Her eyes were filled with pain but also happy to be back. Tears flowed down her place face as she looked u at him.
He moved down the stairs getting closer to her, he could see some injuries on her skin. He frowned as got more closer to her. His butterfly wasn't the same Rose he had left behind when he left for the trip.
She opened her arms as he got closer. He smiled taking her in his arms. " Butterfly !...." he cried holding her in his arms.
" Am back " was all she said before fainting in his arms.
He felt her body drop, Arthur realized she had fainted. He scooped her up in his arms and walked inside the house.
" Mother calls the doctor," he said walking upstairs.
His mother called the doctor who soon arrived and examined Rose and the twins.
Victoria had been in a bad mood since Rose escaped. Nathan had returned empty-handed when they left to search for her.
" I think we should just leave before Arthur finds our location " Nathan had advised Victoria.
" Even if she returns to then, Arthur will still need me for the antidote " she laughed.
Nathan frowned, "What do you mean antidote ?" he asked.
"You thought I would just let you feed her and those crushed babies of hers. She laughed as she turned to face him. Every meal you served her was mixed with a certain kind of poison that only I have the antidote to "
Nathan felt his insides turn with every word she said, it was then he realized how crazy and emotionless Victoria was.
"But that poison will hurt both her and those innocent twins in her womb," he said.
"And I don't care, the moment she dies Arthur will be mine alone"
Nathan chuckled, " Are you stupid or just acting dumb ?. Arthur would never forgive you for killing the love of his life especially those twins "
Victoria got up with anger and slapped Nathan.
" What nonsense are you saying, Arthur, will finally be free of her when she dies. And when that happens he will finally return to me " she shouted.
Nathan laughed as tears formed in his eyes, " I was blinded by my pain and love for you that I didn't see how crazy and evil you are ".
He turned around and walked away leaving Victoria standing there alone laughing.
" If you step outside of this place don't ever think of coming back " she shouted at him.
He stopped and without turning he said, " I have loved you for all this time that I ended up hurting someone who was innocent & could have loved me for who I was. My love for you has made me do a lot of hurtful things to innocent people but this time I will do the right thing " Nathan walked away with tears in his eyes.
Victoria watched him walk away. Richard walked into the room holding a glass of wine.
"So you love birds have broken up ?" he smiled taking a seat.
"He will return I know he can't do anything without me," she said.
"What happened that made him angry ?"
"I have been feeding your daughter poison through the food he took to her. And when I told him about it he seemed to hate me "
" YOU WHAT ?!..." Richard barked at Victoria the glass of wine dropped from his hands and shattered into pieces on the floor.
Startled Victoria moved back from Richard.
"I told you on the first day we agreed to work together not to hurt my daughter, then why would you go ahead and poison her ?". he shouted
Confused she moved further away from him," You told me to do anything to keep her alive until you get your money, and you will since the poison won't kill her until her part is done" Victoria said back.
Richard had folded his hand into a fist as he listened to Victoria, she noticed it turn white.
"Do you have the antidote ?" he asked. She nodded to his question.
" Make sure you give it to her after I get my money. Those babies in her womb are my grandchildren and Rose is my daughter I can't let her die for my greed " he said before walking away.
She stood there alone wondering what had happened to all the men around d her. Anyone who saw or associated with Rose would turn into a saint and want to protect her. Now even her greedy selfish father wanted to make sure she was alive. Nathan had turned his back on her too and the only man she had loved all her life had thrown her away the moment he laid eyes on her.
"All of you keep on dreaming but going to make sure Rose disappears from your lives once and for all " she murmured.
