Chapter: Chapter 143NARRATORMrs. Webster hesitates for a while before she nods."I think there's sense in what you just said. But how do we make it happen? Because Rose will never agree to that," Mrs. Webster tells Marie, who chuckles."What makes you think we're going to tell her first?" Marie asks."What do you mean?" Mrs. Webster questions instead of giving an answer."You know Rose will never agree to do such a thing, so it's best if we do it without her consent," Marie explains."That's fine then... just think of a way to lure her here," Mrs. Webster says, bringing out her phone, but then the door opens, revealing the doctor."There is no need to do that. I've been outside for a while now, and I heard everything you said. I'm sorry if you feel like I'm eavesdropping, but the discussion caught my attention. I just had to stand outside and let you both finish," the doctor says, walking in fully."It's okay. Just make sure you mind your business. Whatever you heard here isn't your concern. The only th

Chapter: Chapter 142NARRATORAt the HospitalMrs. Webster walks around restlessly after Rose ends the call.The doctor says they have five hours to do whatever they have to do. He even offers help by finding them a donor, but they don't want any of that. They've made up their minds that the only donor they want is Rose, and the Rose in question isn't even ready to help."Mom, what did she say?" Marie asks immediately as Mrs. Webster enters."By now, you should know how mean your sister can be. Even after I explained to her that the donor in question is suffering from a fatal illness, and that his kidney might later affect your dad, even though the doctor guaranteed it wouldn't, she still refused. In fact, she ended the call before I could finish what I had to say," Mrs. Webster tells Marie."The reason she's acting this way is that you're taking it too lightly with her. He's our dad, so it's our duty to do this for him. Since we can't use mine, then she's next in line. Why can't she just let go of the pa

Chapter: Chapter 141ROSEI force my eyes open since the phone won't stop ringing."Who could be calling me this early?" I grumble, dragging the duvet aside.I get up and grab the phone from the table beside the bed, and just like I expect, it is my mom.Why is she calling me this early? Probably here to nag as usual.I put the phone back on the bed and pull the covers up, but then it rings again.After the third and fourth ring, I can no longer ignore it, so I pick up and answer the call."So you've been intentionally ignoring my calls!" she yells into the phone."Why did you call?" I ask flatly."Don't talk to me like that, Rose. I call you three times; why don't you pick up?" she asks authoritatively."Please, it's too early for this. If you have nothing meaningful to say to me, I'll have to end the call. I should have known taking your call would only ruin my day," I blurt, letting out a short laugh."That's not how to talk to your mom, Rose! Have some manners!" she fires."Why did you call?" I ask ag

Chapter: Chapter 140DANTELogan walks ahead without looking back, nor do I bother to call him back. The guards don't attempt to go after him after I tell them not to. He should go ahead and kill himself; let's see if he dares to do it.He pauses after a while and then turns back to look at us."You're not going to stop me?" he asks, twitching his brows. He does that whenever he is nervous."Why? I have no plans of stopping you. If you want to kill yourself, go ahead and do it!" I blurt."I should have known you wanted me dead. You seriously want me to die? So you can marry that evil lady, right? Mom was right all along!" he yells, stamping his feet."Yeah... I'm not denying it. Since you don't want me to get married to Rose, then do it! The world will move on perfectly without you in it!" He clenches his fist like he is about to throw a punch, then turns and runs back to us."I'm not going to kill myself, never! So you can marry that lady easily? Nah! I'll stay alive and prevent you from marrying her," h

Chapter: Chapter 139DANTEI don't even wait for her to finish what she has to say before I turn and leave the venue. She is the reason everything is going wrong. Every single thing that happens, happens because of her. If she hadn't shown up, Rose and I would still be together. Logan would have finally accepted Rose into his life. Now I begin to blame myself for bringing Logan back. I could have just left him to continue staying with Lavender; maybe that way he wouldn't be here making trouble for me.I ignore all her calls and drive off. I decide to go over to Rose's place so I can at least say a word to her, but I change my mind at the last minute. Continuously pressuring her won't change a thing.I get home, and just like I expect, Logan is there, standing outside the door like someone who has come to collect money from a debtor. Seeing him alone adds to my anger. Even before I approach him, I know what he is up to. Probably Lavender has called to tell him what happens, and he is outside to blackmail m

Chapter: Chapter 138DANTEI watch from the entrance as she exchanges words with Conrad.I catch him a few times trying to touch her, but each time, she moves back.I begin to feel like I no longer stand a chance. Conrad is the father of her daughter, after all. No matter what happens, I feel she will still go back to him — the same way Lavender won't let me be.I feel like giving up, maybe going home and accepting Lavender back since I stand no chance with Rose, but on second thought, I kick against it. Accepting Lavender back after everything she does would only make me look weak. She left our marriage and has slept with many men since then.Even if Rose and I never get back together, there is no way I am going to accept Lavender back. No matter how hard she tries. If not for the fact that Logan has been threatening me with his life all this while, I would have chased her out a long time ago. I know she is the main reason Rose has refused to get back with me. I mean, who would? With my ex-wife still liv
