Rose
Tears obscured her sight. She wiped them immediately. She wasn't certain about her words made to him. She wanted to break them. She couldn't bring herself to say it to him that she wanted their son to be a normal businessman. Liam would never agree over it. She knew it.
Her gaze was on the door. He could be back at any time. She didn't want him to know that there were tears in her eyes. He would be furious. She didn't want to endure his anger.
The door opened. Her heart began to palpitate in her ribcage. She stared at it without blinking her eyes.
Liam emerged from behind the door. A deep frown covered his forehead when he saw her sitting on the mattress, the comforter was pulled over her legs, and her back was resting against the pillows.
She gulped when her gaze met his confused intense gaze. He lifted his wrist and stared, "It's too late," He murmured as he closed the door behind him and walked over to the bed.
He took her chin between his thumb and fingers. His jaw locked as he glanced deep in her eyes, "You cried," He said under his breath. His intense expression changed into exasperated.
She knew. How much he hated her to see in tears, particularly when she was pregnant. She opened her mouth. But she couldn't speak when his thumb pressed. She gulped. She felt goosebumps on the back of her nape. She was aware of his anger.
"I... I..." She closed her eyes, hoping to get rid of her tightened throat. She cast her eyelashes low. Tears trailed down infuriating him more.
"Selena and Cody will replace him." He said exasperatedly.
Her gaze jerked up, "No, y..ou promised me. You c...an't break your words." She glanced at him with glassy eyes.
He drew his face closer. His nose touched her. He smelled of alcohol, but it was faint, "Didn't you?" He asked darkly.
"Yes," A little sob jumped in her throat. She hid her face in the crook of his neck.
He curled his arms around her middle. He slithered her out of bed and strode toward the window almost hugging her to his chest, "This topic is over. Our son is the heir." he declared.
She let out an exhausted sigh, "Promise me. You'll protect our kids." She said, her lower lip trembling, more tears were threatening to spill out.
"You got my words," He sealed his words with a kiss on her cheek. He brought his hand up and swiped his fingers softly on her cheeks, "Don't cry. You know I hate this s***," His expression was soft but his gaze was always intense as dread was still visible on her face.
"Where were you?" She asked, pulling her head back, and placing her arms around his neck.
"Discussing business with Dad and Danil." He said, looking deep in her eyes.
She lowered her gaze and looked between them, "Are we hurting baby?" She asked, suddenly.
He let out a soft laugh and drew his face closer to place another kiss on her cheek, "No, babe," He said, his lips curled up fully.
A soft smile crossed her face as she glanced at her husband, his emerald eyes, "You need to rest." He said and strutted toward the bed. He put her down tenderly as she was a porcelain doll.
"You're staying with me." She asked. She kept her gaze on him.
He pulled his hands back. Her heart plummeted. Her eyes went wide. He pulled his T-shirt over his head and chucked it at the edge of the mattress.
She drifted her gaze down the mountains of his abdomen, his abs. She fisted her hands to stop herself from reaching and touching him.
A smile crawled on his face as he saw his wife looking at him. He slipped next to her, enveloping his arm around her shoulder.
"I won't be slim, Liam." She whispered. He liked her small stomach.
"I will still love you." He said. She knew he meant it.
She continued her chatter, "My stomach will be round. So big," He felt her shock in her soft voice.
"Is it frightening you?" He asked.
She batted her long lashes, staring at the wall, contemplating, "I don't know." Slowly, she breathed out, "Mom said, I'll be fine."
"You will," His fingers drummed on the back of her shoulders.
She wasn't looking tired, "Glad to hear this,"
He let out a soft laugh, looking down at her naive wife, "You can talk to the doctors at any time, ask them anything."
"That'd be awkward," She muttered, flattening her lips.
"They're here to help you," He said and she yawned, "Go to sleep," Her eyes were heavy with sleep.
"Good night," She muttered.
"I drank," He spoke softly.
"Yes, I smelled it on you." She whispered.
"I can go away.." Her back was touching his chest.
She clenched his hand, "No, I can endure it. It's not that much,"
He hummed, thanking the mouth freshener. She closed her eyes. She was thankful for her mist that was
blocking the slight smell of it.
She woke up in the middle of the night. She felt the craving to eat something. Her gaze rested on her husband. She couldn't take her eyes off him. He was so handsome, so strong. Her fingers itched to slither through his dark silky hair. She shook her head with crimson cheeks. Her hunger was pushing her to get up. She put her feet down and paced out of the room. Her feet halted when she saw Vanessa Hudgens standing out of the door. She narrowed her eyes at her, and her smile faded. She closed the door behind her, softly, "What are you doing out of our room?" She asked in irritation. She didn't like her. "It's my duty to protect you, ma'am," Vanessa said in her robotic voice. Would that! I could find a button to switch off you. - she thought. She began to pace toward the staircase, "I'm with my husband. I don't need you. Shoo," She gestured with her hand to go her away. "Sorry, ma'am. Boss has strictly asked staff to follow his order,
Liam Rodriguez She lowered her head. He knew her from the core of her heart and understood everything without her explaining. He fastened his cuffs. His gaze didn't avert away from her. She was Capo's wife and her brother, father-in-law were bosses too. But she was brought up in a different environment. "Rose," He whispered, but enough for her listening. She forced a smile on her face when she glanced up at him. He gave her a look, clearly demanding the reason behind her sadness. "Vanessa follows me everywhere. I hate it. Sometimes, I wanna hide myself. So, she couldn't find me." She blurted in annoyance. His expression hardened as she spoke her mind out. He never wanted her out of his sight. The mere thought of her going away, pumped his heart faster, and surge the wave of anger through his entire body. His jaw tickled as he tried to rein in his anger. Which wasn't his personality until Rose happened in his life. "She's protecting you from an unknown
His phone rang, breaking the silence of his office. He didn't peer down at the screen before answering the call, "They'll come to Lily Mansion." Nicholas said through the speaker. He had built the place in remembrance of his mother. He was considering her dead. One day when Dean showed up in his office. Someone tried to kidnap his wife and he helped her. That was the first time he had glimpsed his mother. "Ok," He grabbed the keys from the desk and shuffled out of the office. Danny and his reinforcements came to his side immediately. He dialed a number and hosted up his phone. "Kairo, I want you home." He said. "Don't worry. They'll be safe." He shoved the phone in his pocket as he made his way out of the building. "Sharpshooters have been appointed as you instructed, Boss," Danny said. "Stay with Danil. He may need you in the office." He ordained him. Danny looked hesitant for a second, but he bowed his head, "Okay, boss.
Rose Lily patted her head affectionately, "Everything is done," She said, getting on her feet. She was looking exhausted but happy. "Yes, shopping is done." She told her with a smile. She wasn't allowed to go out. Her mother-in-law Olivia arranged everything in the house. "Let me know if you need anything," Olivia said, dismissing Todd. She wanted to go out and visit every store before her brother-in-law's wedding. A plan was already hovering in her mind. She stayed put, waiting to be alone. Vanessa wasn't around her. She grabbed a magazine randomly and began to shuffle the pages, trying to show interest. When the path was clear, she got on her feet. She quickened her pace out. She slowed her pace near the garage. There were guards. But they couldn't question her. It wasn't their duty. But they would inform Liam. She was silent as she climbed into the car. But her eyes were filled with happiness. She was glad that Vanessa wasn't ar
LIAM RODRIGUEZ Tenderly, he ran his knuckles on her cheek, "Her blood pressure is low, boss." He heard the sixth doctor. He didn't want to repeat what happened in the past. "I'll bury you alive twenty feet down in the earth." He snarled at them. They looked frightened of him. He could see some of them sweating and some shivering. "Liam, she's fine." Olivia paused, looking at him, "Let them go," "Mother," His hard gaze cut through the queue of doctors, glancing down at the floor. "Liam," Nicholas peered at him. He waved his hand at them. The doctors didn't take more than a few seconds to shuffle out of the room. "Mierda, I'll kill them all," He slithered his hand in his hair, and his gaze returned to his wife. It was rude. He couldn't endure seeing her in this condition.Rose She sat herself up, wincing, finding everyone in the room and looking at her. She pushed herself back. The bedrest stopped her further movement. S
She glanced at sleeping Emerald. The corners of her lips curled up, imagining her baby, "How does it feel to hold the tiny bundle for the first time?" She asked, with a soft smile. "I was scared to hold her first. She was so small. Her eyes were closed, wailing. I can't explain my happiness. You're going to feel it soon." Chuckled Alena. She giggled and lowered her lashes in shyness. "Momma," Selena stormed inside the room. Alena put her index finger on her lips, gesturing to her to be quiet. There was a hint of a smile. Selena looked at sleeping Emerald and nodded her head, "Grandma is looking for you, momma." She said in a low voice, looking up at her. "I'll be back," She told her and threaded her way out of the room. She liked to spend time with her family. She was still trying to know her. She liked to spend time with the little one of the family. A soft smile touched her lips as she saw her brother Caspian in the hall, "Rose," He
RoseHer red lips curled in a broad smile as she saw Ana and Isha walking toward her. Mr. and Mrs. Fernandez and Mr. and Mrs. Pinto were coming in behind them. Olivia welcomed them. The ceremony was going to be held in Lily mansion. Isha and her family were going to stay there until the wedding. "I was waiting for you two, " She said as they shared a group hug. Isha and Ana pulled back and looked at her stomach, "How's baby? How are you? How does it feel?" They showered questions upon her. She giggled softly, "We're fine. Thank you. I'm feeling on nine clouds." Her eyes averted at Mrs. Fernandez when she placed her hand on her shoulder, "How are you, dear?" Mary asked her gleefully as she took her in a hug. "Auntie, I'm good. How was your flight?" Mary was a mother figure to her. She always enjoyed her company and always thought about her mother being around her. Mary's hand touched her cheek tenderly, "All good, dear. Congratulations." She kis
Rose Dread was visible on her cute baby face. She ran her hand on her round stomach. Her lavender gown was loose around her six-month pregnant stomach, almost hiding her pregnancy. The end of her hair was curled and falling behind her back. One more time, she sprayed the mist behind her ears, hoping it would block the smell of alcohol. "Momma, why are we not with Isha aunt?" It was Selena's demand to wear pink on the wedding day "Because she's going to come to our home. It'll be her home too. You should go with your grandma if you want to be with them." She looked up at her. Her pink princess dress was reaching her knees, it was puffy from down her waist, "But I can't leave you and baby alone. Dad won't be happy with it." A frown settled on her forehead. She smiled, "I'm not alone. Guards are outside the door. You can check." Her thin lips pressed together. She didn't look away. It made her smile. "Okay, just scream a
