"I love you!" He screamed and a sob escaped her lips. "I love you Rosie…from that day—" he took a step and ran his hands through his hair. "From that day I fired you Rosie. You were so clumsy—" he sniffed and chuckled. "You were so anxious and I had to fire you but that same day; that I saw you in the bar drunk; that I kissed you" he exhaled and laughed. "I fell in love with you" he confessed and she blinked back her tears. "Then why have you been cold to me Xander? Why have you been pushing me away? You were so warm to me, then it all changed when your brother came to you. Why!" "Because Rosie—" he licked his lips and tugged on his hair.

It was only a few days after the engagement that Alexander found out she loved gardening and he loved watching her admire the flowers."They smell so nice," Rosalie turned to him with a big smile and Alexander chuckled, his eyes running down her tummy.That had a life in her.The tummy having another life in her. His happiness knew no bounds when the doctor declared it to them.It was one month after the engagement that they broke the news to them and he had never been that excited."Come on, stop staring at me," Rosalie rolled her eyes, her cheeks turning crimson red and Alexander laughed as he walked towards her."I can't wait to see the baby. I really want to," He muttered as he thought of it. He'd get to be a father. Be a good father that he never had. Nothing would be more fulfilling.But would he be able to treat the baby right?"It'll like me, wouldn't it?""Oh, I don't lik
"Why are you doing this to me, Aria?" I drawled as I stared at my best friend who had her face fully into her phone, "Aria?""What?" She jerked her face up suddenly and I spotted the crimson blush on her face and my brows knitted up, "what the hell is going on, huh?""What?" She rolled her eyes and quickly switched off her phone screen which heightened my suspicion. It's been three weeks since we went to visit Sophia.Her mum gave me a mouthful which made Xander visibly angry and when the woman didn't stop talking, Xander had to show her my wounds that her daughter inflicted on me.Collins was on the run because apart from the fact that Xander wanted to tear him into pieces, the authorities were looking for him.And then, my wound had almost healed up and things were starting to look good and we were out in the restaurant. Aria and I and we have been talking for a whole ass hour but she wouldn't even hear me."What'd you say?" She flashed me a fake smile, "I was just busy looking at s
Fucked four time in a day. My stitches hurting yet I still went on. Sleeping in the arms of the man I love. I rolled on the bed and back into his warm arms that were waiting for me."Good morning, my gorgeous rose," Xander whispered and I could swear butterflies danced in my tummy. My cheeks heated up so much I was sure it'd boil an egg and Xander released a small laugh behind me."It always amuse me.""What?" I asked and at once he rolled over until he was lying over me and I released a wince."Oh my," Xander moved backwards at once, "Sorry about that."“What amuses you?" I confronted with a pout and he laughed as he settled beside me, his hands raking my hair."Your shyness yet boldness." He locked eyes with me, a smile forming on his lips. "I always look forward to seeing you bold yet shy."All of his words added to the heated feeling inside of me. Warmth. Love. I smiled and leaned into him, "I'm after all full of surprises."He chuckled as he nodded, "True. Now let's get you to ea
Rosalie's POV"I can manage to walk and you know that," I rolled my eyes when Xander snorted after I spoke. I was in his arms. He was taking me inside the house even after I tried to work on my own."Do you know what you've gone through?" Xander rolled his eyes, "I'm surprised you're perfectly fine and it makes me happy. I wouldn't have been able to deal with it if I had lost you."My cheeks heated up and I leaned into him, "now that's enough, please put me down."Xander chuckled, his eyes darting around since we were in the living room and gently, he placed me on the two seater couch and at once settled beside me, pulling my head onto his chest, "I owe you a proper apology.""I am sorry." He breathed out and exhaled while I stared up at him. I could count the number of times he had apologized to me before and how hard it's been. But that moment was different, he was saying everything thoughtfully."For wanting to let us go. Believe me I felt horrible. Thought you'll hate me. I didn't
Alexander's POV"Rosie…" I called as I took a step while she glared at me with eyes full of pain."Really? You want to live in my memories and not stay with me huh?" She shook her head before moving towards me and at once her fist made contact with my chest."Really huh? Really? It's better to leave me huh? That's it? You don't care if I live in pain huh?" She continued, her fist driving into my chest repeatedly as her tears ran down before while I remained glued to my spot.I didn't deserve her. Not once have I ever deserved her."Rosie, stop it," her mum rushed towards her and grabbed her arm and I finally got out of my thoughts when the punching stopped."It's okay," I let out and sighed, "let her hit me. I deserve it.""Thank god you know!" Rosie screamed before sending a final punch to my chest and then her tears dropped. "You're such an idiot, Xander.""You know everything except how to console a woman," she sniffed and leaned into me, "how can you want to leave huh?" Her voice t
"He won't even pick up? Wow, wow," I chuckled and fought back my tears as I tried Xander's number once more.He wants to leave the city and me… wow. I shook my head as I reminisced on his words. We're in the hospital since I was brought there right after my attack."He wants to leave," I sobbed once more."I told you!" Aria screamed and hit the wall, "he wasn't worth it! You lost your father and all he could think of is to leave! Goddamn it! I hate him more!""Xander," I sniffed as I dialed the number again, "he's not picking up.""He won't," mum cut in and sniffed, "I… made him go away.""What do you mean?""I gave an outburst right after Raymond died. He's the cause of everything and I just wanted him away. I… I made him promise to leave you alone after all the chaos he caused.""What?" I gripped my chest as I fought back my tears, "how's he at fault?""Sophia came after you because of him! You were hit because of him! You were almost killed. Got shot! It was because of him that you
