ROSE'S POV

It's Ryan.

My stomach knots. I quicken my pace. I don't need comfort—especially not from him. Not tonight. My feet move faster than my thoughts, but they know where they're going. The lyrics passes from the headphones straight to my brain.

You're shattered like you've never been before.

Tell your heart to beat again

I run past buildings surrounded by high fences, down a quiet street with only a few vehicles driving by, and no soul in sight.

My legs only stop when I reach the wide, open field. I’m out of breath.

The church comes into view. Holy. Untouched. My knees buckle and I drop to the ground. I try to fight it, to stop the tears from dropping but tears still come, soaking my face as I stare at the church building in the center of the cleared field. I can't explain why I’m here, why I still feel safe here. I’m not religious. I’m not anything anymore.

One of the window is cracked open. The priest is likely inside, but I don't want to disturb him. I silence my sobs and

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle    075

    ROSE'S POV I ignore her, heading out and straight to Mom's room. I bang heavily on the door. "Mom!" I scream, startling some of the maids downstairs. There's muffled movement in the room. After waiting awhile and still no response. I bang and scream louder this time. Still nothing.She's ignoring me. Fine. I think about calling Ryan but the grandfather clock in the hallway shows it a few minutes past two. Ryan would be resting as recommended by the hospital. I head down.By the time, I take the stairs down my anger had turned to sadness then pain. I'm sobbing when I take out the phone, my fingers trembling as I struggle to ask if she's available to talk. My phone rings immediately. "M-Mon...""Rose, are you okay?" "I'm not okay." I sniff. "I'm coming over." I wipe my face, stuff the phone back into my pocket, grab a key from the cabinet, push the door open and angrily step out.I ignore them and walk straight for the red Benz."Roseeee." Micah calls first."Ma'am." The assistant fol

    ROSE'S POV I take deep breaths and wrap the coat tightly around me. My fingers trace the outline of the case that's in my pocket as I sit with Micah in the backseat of Ryan's car whilst his assistant drives.He's assistant not only flew us from Dubai but has taken on the responsibility of driving us back to the Hilton's mansion, no one is expecting.

    ROSE'S POV The door is open so I don't bother knocking I just step in. I look around the room to find her sitting on the edge of her bed, with her back to me. Her shoulders are slumped and she's trembling. I tiptoe closer to the bed and recognize the sounds of sobbing. My mom is crying? I never knew she did that. She sobs quietly staring at a frame in her hands. I step closer still to see it's my picture. Why's Mom crying over my picture? "Mom?"She jerks and turn around. Her eyes wild with fright. She wipes at her eyes and slowly stands. "Rose?" She sounds unsure, maybe she never thought I would return. She steps closer, stretching her hands to my face."Yes. It's me Mom.""Oh..." She cries louder and covers me in a hug, but I don't return it. "I was so scared my darling worried something awful nay have happened...""Mom..." I cut her short. She leaked my diary online, she signed a fake marriage certificate, she bribed a judge, she... I want to count every awful thing this woman c

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle    072- THIS ISN'T HOME...

    ROSE'S POV I take deep breaths and wrap the coat tightly around me.

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle    071- KISS ME LIKE IT'S GOODBYE.

    RYAN'S POV The words leave my mouth too fast, and too wrong. Before I had correct myself, Rose is already walking out, with her hands to her eyes. I hate that in making her cry. But she's too good, too young for me. If I don't survive this, I can't tie her down to my memories forever and get her wishing what if...She reaches the door, stop abruptly and turns around, marching toward me with a purposeful stride, before I could understand what's about to happen. She climbs the bed and leans in kissing me. Her tongue slides expertly into my mouth, her small hands frame my face as her body slightly press on mine. I keep up her pace, tasting her sweetness and sour tears as we kiss passionately. Our tongues thrusting deep into each other's mouth and hitting the back of our throat like it's a fucking blowjob. But her kiss is more emotional than physical, I can feel her pain through the hot kiss. She's breaking every vow she's held. She's making a silent promise that she'll never leave me.

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle    070- JUST US.

    ROSE'S POV"Uhm... Doctor?" I hasten my pace to meet up with them. "What did you say about Ryan?" My voice is rough. Calm. Down. I take deep breaths."I thought you went in...uhm..." His eyes dart around, looking for a quick excuse. Then, he sighs and gestures forward. "Let's go to my office.""No." I shake my head and stamp my feet on the ground. "You started talking already, just complete what you were saying.""Okay." He smiles, but it's tight with no teeth. "Ryan's heart is really weak. He's been diagnosed with HCM for a long time now. The results of today's test showed he didn't live the simple, healthy life prescribed for him." He adds with a shrug. "Guess his heart can't take it anymore." Then, he chuckles.Was that supposed to be a joke? "That's not funny, it's just offensive." My face twist in disgust. My fist involuntarily clench. Micah steps closer, putting his hands around mine and trying to calm me. "I'm sorry Miss." Dr. Paul says, but he doesn't sound sorry. "Mr Ryan wi
