I went back to the car after him. And because Mr. Grumpy wasn't in the mood to drive this time, we sat back in the car. He did nothing but sit there with his eyes closed for the majority of the drive.And I would have found it boring if I hadn't been so nervous about the upcoming press conference. I'm not someone who can freely express myself in public, let alone in front of cameras. This anxiety is weighing heavily on me.My social anxiety has always been an issue for me to overcome it. So, I don't know how well I will be able to handle the attention tomorrow.I'm afraid that I will say something wrong or can not answer the journalist's questions. What if I make things messier than they already are? Will this devil forgive me? Probably not.And that's why I'm more scared.I don't know anything about him. He is obsessed with keeping things about himself hidden. Since meeting him, the only thing I have learned about him is that he's a control freak with a God complex. So, even if I try
As soon as we entered the press conference hall the flash of the cameras caused me to go blind for a moment. I was already nervous so this glimmering attention made me even more nauseous.My heart pounded in my chest and all I could hear was the murmurs of the reporters. My chest heaved when I gathered up the courage to look around the hall and my eyes met with some of the reporters. They were a lot.The thought of running from there crossed my mind faster than anything. I don't think I can handle all this tension."It's alright, don't worry they're not gonna eat you," I felt a warmth touching my hand as Lorcan intertwined our hands before I could pass out. We need to show intimacy between us to show everyone how much we love each other. "Just don't mess up anything."I don't want to admit but his fake support did help me to calm down. I tightly squeezed his hand to quiet down my nerves. But he doesn't need to know that.As we settled in our seats the reporters didn't waste any time a
I felt like the sky was falling down on me when I saw my father standing there with an evil smile. My world started to shake just by his mere sight of existence."How the hell did he get here?" I muttered under my breath in disbelief. How did he find out my whereabouts?Even though this is the first time I'd seen him since I left the house, it was enough to make me start shaking right away. And his smile. He still has that same smile on his face when he used to beat and abuse my mother and me. I never wanted to see that malicious smile of his again. Or even him."Throw this guy out!" I heard Lorcan ordering his man in a hushed voice that only his men could hear him."Right away boss,"He left my side and went to make sure that my father was out of the hall.I was afraid of Lorcan's rage, which I could feel from far away. I didn't want to ruin the conference in that manner because of me. Now, I have to deal with his anger as well. I'm on the verge of collapsing. It was challenging to c
Waking up to the comfortable silence, my body still feels heavy and tired. I feel a headache as if someone was hammering inside it. I winced as my eyes sting when I finally blinked them.My father's words kept on echoing in my mind making my headache even worse. No matter how hard I tried, every time his words managed to penetrate that part of my sanity which I strained to get attacked, I couldn't help but want to break down.Roaming my face around I found Grandma standing by my side."Hey, dear," She let out gently before putting her hand on mine and rubbing soft comforting strokes. "How are you feeling now?" She asked as the memories of the press conference came rushing back to me. I tried to get up but she refused. "No, no keep lying dear you need rest.""I'm sorry for what happened at the press conference, Grandma," I whispered out in a low voice. My throat was sore, maybe it was a nightmare or I really cried all night. I couldn't tell. "I'm sure you must have so many questions to
Lorcan's Pov.When I walked out of the hospital in the morning, I immediately called my friend who was in the mafia. I don't think I can just sit by and allow all of this to happen after witnessing Rosalyn scream and cry nonstop all night long due to her nightmares in which she kept pleading with Nick to stop hurting her.That shit made me furious. No matter how hard I tried to wipe her tears she kept on fucking crying.If anything happens to that surrogate then it will also affect my child's health. I would kill them all if the doctor had said that the child was in danger.Even now I'm not doing all this for Rosalyn's but because of my child. I don't care what happens to her but she needs to be fine as long as she's carrying my child."Hello?" I let out when my friend picked up the phone."Hey, Lorcan, my friend. How are you doing? It's been so long?" Damien said and I heard some noises in the background."I'm good, what about you?" Opening the door I got into my car and nodded to th
Rosalyn's pov."And I have also dealt with him.""Deal with him? How? You kill him?" I could only stare at his smug face. No wonder he looks like he's getting back after doing something outrageous.“Are you still worried about him?” Lorcan asked, his deep voice gives me chills.“Of course not, I’m not worried about him, I just don't want make any trouble to you again.”"Don't worry I haven't killed him yet," He casually announced as if he was talking about the most everyday matter not killing someone.“T-that’s good then.” I replied.He took a file and showed it to me. "Divorce agreement, sign them." He pulled back and sat beside me.I quickly opened it and there was Nick's signature. Also, the house clearly belonged to me now.It was so unbelievable that I had to look between the papers and at him. Why would he go to such lengths for me? This is the first time someone has helped me. Since now I was living alone, so I never got to experience what it is like to be protected by someone.
"WHAT?!" I pushed him away angrily and glared at him.Lorcan grunted furiously before gripping my jaw but I didn't quit the glare. "How dare you to push me?"I could see the indifference in his eyes, the gentleness can nowhere to be found which was there formerly. In his eyes, I'm still just a commodity that can be traded.I was too stupid to imagine that Lorcan can be trusted with feelings. He never cared about anyone. He only knew how to use someone and make a good trade using their weak points.How stupid that I was even thinking Lorcan was different and feeling grateful for this man for going out of his way and fighting with Nick for me."What make you think that I will sell my body?"I looked dead in his eyes, eyes that were still shining with lust. But there was one more emotion present there, and that was arrogance.The arrogance of not giving a fuck about someone else's feelings. Men are assholes, my ex-husband, my father, and now this man is no different."I never said to sel
Rosalyn's pov.I got discharged from the hospital the next day. Lorcan didn't come to see me after he left angrily yesterday.I don't want to admit it but I was upset when he didn't return to my side. It made me unbearably upset just thinking about how he left. But it was his fault and ego so I won't give in.I couldn't sleep the whole night, my mind kept on wandering around the thought of where he would have spent the night. I couldn't help but overthink the worst scenario.What if he went to look for someone to sleep with after I rejected him?The thought made my stomach churn in apprehension. I scoffed as my mood was ruined even more. I shouldn't have let him leave with blue balls. Him touching someone else with the same hands he touched me makes my blood boil.But it's not like I can do anything. If he wanted to go fuck around, he's free to do so. He clearly told me yesterday to not be deluded and get my hopes up, so I will try my best to stick to his words."Have a good day, mada
