Author: Ashley Wright
last update Last Updated: 2025-05-21 15:46:27
ROSE'S POV.

I sit up properly in bed. Certainly, this must be a mixed up. I never conducted a marriage with anyone so how can they be a marriage certificate?

I text back for clarification and details. But I get an auto reply stating the registry's working hours and the process to book an appointment. Panic working it's best in me, I barely think and book an appointment.

I adjust my nightwear and jump down the bed, they're only two people who can properly advise me at the moment, Micah and Ryan. I hurry towards Ryan's room and I'm about to know when I remember he's gone. I'm suddenly sad. I swipe through my messages and send an additional text to all my unread messages. I don't know where he is and to worsen things, he's not communicating with me.

Micah would not be up by this time and owing to all the works he's been joggling lately, he needs his rest.

I make my way down the hall. The light in the study is already on. That leaves me with one person.

I run up the stairs and bust i

  • 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. 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. It's mid morning. We arrived quite early. I still have time to rest before tomorrow hearing. If not for Micah, I wouldn't be heading back here. I would have just lodged at Monique's until everything is settled and then return back to Ryan, but I know Micah wouldn't feel so comfortable there, plus it may look cowardly to keep running away from my family. One day I have to face them.As the car approach the large gate, Micah inserts his card and it automatically pulls up. I rub my palms together. And it seems that day is now.He maneuver the car into the parking lot and turn off the engine. I start straightening to step out but he hurriedl

  • 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

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle    069-HE MAY NOT SURVIVE...

    ROSE'S POV Slowly, the realization of what he's saying hits me. I shake my head and recoil backwards. Is this good news? No, no, no. My heart sinks. I can't return to Florida. I can't leave Ryan alone, not when he needs me the most."What's wrong?" Micah sits beside me, pulling me up."I can't go. We can't leave Ryan here alone." I try to stay calm."The nurses will look after him." His voice is soothing."They can't." I turn around and face him directly. "I need to watch over him myself; he's my man. Tell the court to reschedule." I fold my arms stubbornly."The court can't reschedule." He sighs and straightens up from me. "We were the ones who begged for an early date." "Then let the lawyer appear in court alone.""You're swearing to a damn affidavit, you have to be there in person." He says loudly, then visibly breathes. He grits his teeth and kicks the air, barely restraining himself."Why are you raising your voice at me? I have to be here to take care of my man." I challenge.

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle    068-FLORIDA OR LOVE?

    ROSE'S POV "What is wrong?" I ask my voice cracking as he begins convulsing, pressing his neck and his face turning red. "Ryan? My goodness." My voice cracks. I put my hands over his, trying to help smooth his chest. I jump off his thighs and kneel in front of him. "What should I do?" He just continues shaking, his face squeezing in pain, his words a jumbled mess, the only thing I can make out is "I can't breath!" I search his pockets frantically. "Where are the blood busters?" "It's it's done. I used them all." He stammers. "So... You're leav-leaving to Florida?" I look at him like he's crazy. "You can't be asking me that right now!" I snap, more mad at myself for bringing it earlier. I lean into him, my entire body trembling. I hold his big palms in mine and struggle to maintain eye contact. "Just stay with me, please." I choke out. I quickly adjust my dress down. I press the button and adjust Ryan's clothes as the barricade rises up. Micah turns to us. Confusion lining his f

    ROSE'S POV"Here we are!" Micah announces as we reach the station.I quickly unfix the seat belt and rush out of the car."Relax." Micah turns around the car and leads me into the reception area. "Excuse me." He leaves me here for a while to meet with the officer in another room."Great." I try to sit as calmly as I can to wait for Ryan, but the moment I see him walking in, I lose every bit of restraint left and rush toward him, throwing my hands around his neck. "Ryan!""Baby.""What happened? Are you okay?" I try to check every part of his body to ensure he's okay.The officer sneers as he returns Ryan's property to him. "You've posted bail, you're a free man until Desmond's lawyer files charges. For now, it's just assault.""Where's Desmond?" I hate how worried I sound. I don't care about him, but maybe I'm just realizing I don't hate him enough to want him dead."The hospital." Ryan says the words grudgingly, like he wished Desmond was in the mortuary instead.I smile. He's so swee
