Michael’s Pov:

I froze as I stared at the man standing on my doorstep, a stranger yet oddly familiar. It took a moment for recognition to sink in, my uncle whom I hadn’t seen in years.

My mind raced, trying to comprehend the words spilling from his lips.

“We've been searching for you for years, " he said, his voice had a tone of urgency “ I don’t know what the hell happened or why you had run away from home but I do know something; your father is Ill Michael. It’s time for you to come back.” He said.

My heart pounded in my chest as I struggled to process the bombshell dropped on me.”But I’ve built a life here” I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper. “ A different life”.

My uncle’s gaze softened, understanding evident in his eyes .” I know Michael.

But your family needs you. Your father needs you . And there’s something else... You have a responsibility to your legacy. Your father’s empire .... It’s yours now”.

My mind reeled at the weight of my uncle’s words. I had left beh

But most of all, he remembered the overwhelming guilt that had plagued him ever since, the guilt of betraying his family and the consequences of his actions.

  • LOST WITHOUT YOU    CHAPTER 23

    Rosemarie’s Pov: I felt a knot down my stomach when he said that statement. I couldn’t find myself to say anything so I just left quietly while closing the door behind me. As I got close to my allocated room, a tear threatened to fall off my face but I promised myself I won’t cry anymore and I’ll be fine either way with Michael’s decision. I couldn’t sleep a wink that night as I anticipated all through for the next morning. Morning came and I was being served eggs on toast for breakfast and was told to come down shortly after because the prince , Michael, had a short announcement to make. A dress was left for me by the bed and the maid left. I began to contemplate if I should go downstairs like they said or I should just lock myself all day and pretend nobody exists. The latter isn’t an option because I can’t just stay here while my girls miss me at home. I ate breakfast as fast as I could and headed downstairs slowly with anticipation to know my fate. As I climbed down the

    Michael’s Pov: It was all a lie , it was all a big fucking lie. If they had told me outside I wouldn’t have believed it but Marie was standing right in front of me and was telling me all the moments we shared when we were young were all a lie. She began to beg and say that our love wasn’t fake but mutual but my head couldn’t shake off the thought that woman I loved, the woman I was ready to spend my entire life with was actually a scam and had signed a contract behind my back with my mom when we were younger so she could heal me from depression. After blurting out everything ,I left her front immediately and headed for the car. I needed to breathe and think and I couldn’t do that with her in front of me. I saw an evil smirk at my mother’s face as I passed by and I shook my head with disappointment. She proceeded to say that she was right after all that she had always told me that Rosemarie was no good to me but only a walking shade of bad luck. As I got to my car, I zoomed of
