Damon's POV.I'm afraid Diego didn't prepare me for Evelyn's excitement.Sure he did say she was happy and gushing about my arrival, but experiencing it was different.Before I could even exit the car, she was running down the stairs towards us with her arms wide open and warmth in her eyes almost made me cry.There was something in her eyes when she looked at me, pity mixed with a hint of helplessness, and I was here to figure it all out.We had dinner and it was fun and overwhelming, Evelyn and Diego tried to fill me in with everything I have missed. In the business space, the latest scandals, the entertainment industry where Evelyn worked, it was just a lot of information.I smiled throughout dinner while adding gasps of surprise and tiny contributions even though none of it made sense anymore but it made the uneasiness in my heart wean off.After all, this was our routine. This was us. And at that moment, what my life used to look like before Rose and Susan flashed before me.Our
Damon's POVSix Months Later.A trip to Africa was supposed to fix me, after losing Rose and a messy divorce with Susan but I was probably being delusional. Seeing and staying with my mom helped, playing the role of the rich fun uncle to my nieces and nephews was amazing but that didn't fill the large gap in my heart.In fact, it worsened.Because somewhere, Rose was still with my baby, and I fucked up the opportunity to be a father and I lost the opportunity to love her.No, thanks to the messy game Nathan and Susan played on me, I had no idea where Rose was, how she was doing and if she still kept the baby. I glanced at my wristwatch for the second time in five minutes. Diego was supposed to come pick me up from the airport but there was no sign of him yet. A deep sigh escaped my lips, here I thought that he would become more responsible now that he was a father but I guess somethings cannot change.Like my best friend, Diego.When the whole truth came to light, I expected a back
Rosette's POV It's been six months since I left Los Angelos.Six months of doing life with Damon and six months of being heavily pregnant.And six months of wondering if I made the right choice or not.When Nathan offered me a solution, a way out to save my mother's relationship, I took it without hesitation.I didn't think for a minute how hard it would be for me and my baby.My hands dropped to my protruding stomach as I rubbed it gently, while I pictured how different my life would have been if only I stayed to fight for my love.But when Nathan offered me a clean slate, a clean start it was hard to turn down, the shame, the guilt, I couldn't bring myself to live with it, because I knew my mom would never forgive me.We were in the wrong.But in love..We did everything to stay away from each other but somehow, we still found our way back to each other.And I had a product of our love, growing daily in my stomach."Don't tell me you are thinking about Damon again?" Kara said, brea
Damon POV After my mental breakdown in the exclusive waiting room, Nathan suggested I headed home to talk to Susan while he handles the bills and Asformalities for Rose discharge.In his words, it was better Susan and I come to a mutual agreement before Rose comes home to salvage the situation.Even though I knew there was nothing to say to Susan that would make any sense, I would rather face her than face Rose, not when she intended to leave me, so I drove home.Immediately I got to the house, I noticed the front door was opened which was very unusual.The possibility that anything or anyone of good threat could be waiting for me in there didn't scare me a bit as I digged my hand into my pocket, ensuring that my pocket knife was intact while walking until the house.But to my greatest surprise, I was greeted with the sight of Susan throwing Rose belongings from the stairs.The entire living room was filled with Rose personal things, packed in suitcases and others on the floor.I ben
Damon POVI stared at the empty space, my thoughts spiralling, I could hear my heart pounding as my chest felt heavy.I was suffocating and overall, it felt like I was dying.I found Rose, but at the same time I had lost her. And it made me realize that I had lost her a long time ago, and the future I wanted to create with her, broke into pieces in front of me.I was nothing.I had nothing left.Everything was ruined and destroyed.And I had no idea where to start from, what to do next and how to go about it.On one hand was Susan.On the other is Rose and my baby. My baby..I was going to be a father, but I lost that title even before my child came into the world.I had nothing left.My most important dream was also shattered alongside everything.How do I stop Rose from leaving?How do I do that?"Oh man, you look like shit!" I heard a voice from behind.A strangely familiar voice that scared me, followed by the sound of his footsteps as he stood in front of me, with his hands in h
Rosette's POV Beep.Beep.The smell of the antiseptic filled my senses as my eyes stirred open slowly.White ceilings, with the classic regular lightning.I knew without a doubt that I had landed in the hospital.But how?Before I could process anything else, I heard a voice."Like I said before, her stats are stable and by the end of today you should be able to take her home""Oh... thank you so much doc, I really do appreciate your help" Another voice chipped in.A familiar voice.One, my whole body could tell and respond to.Damon.And then it hit me, the last thing I could remember before I passed out, was seeing my mom, with shock written all over her face staring at me."Mom" I stuttered, tears forming at the rim of my eyes.Immediately, Damon rushed to my side, taking my hands in his, "Rose...Rose, can you hear me?" He asked softly."Yes," I muttered weakly."How do you feel? Are you in pain? Do you want something?" He asked again."No..no." I managed to say, as I struggled to
