Rose's Pov: I get up opening the doorknob seething in anger while I start talking to myself "Don't get back into old habits just stay calm" I say to myself as I'm too wrapped up in my own thoughts I run into Michael "Sorry I didn't see where I was going" I said He then grabbed me by the arm suddenly and dragged me down the hallway "I was looking for you we need to have a one on one" he said eyes full of hatred 'Fuck I don't want to be in the same fucking room as him alone!' I thought As he locks both doors in the room my only exits besides the window which would require my death from the height of this building which I pass in fact but when I look at his soulless black eyes as my body trembles in cold fear I'm actually considering jumping out of the building. He stands arms folded leaning on his desk "Now Roselle let me make something clear if you ever threaten my son again I won't hesitate to kill everyone around you and make you watch you are his fiancee you are to stand there,

Rose's Pov: I then turn over heaving and throw up in the bush, I wipe my mouth then suddenly something occurs to me "Oh no..." I whisper under my breath I turn around quickly "Roselle you okay?" Jace asks in a worried tone I swallow the bile that wants to come out "I'm fine I just need some rest..." I say feeling a bit dizzy, Michael looks at me analyzing my whole body, stopping at my stomach 'He must think I'm pregnant' I say in thought looking at Michael my eyes widened then that cold evil smile made its way to his face. "I'm going to go lay down okay..." I say towards Jace he nods kissing me on the forehead as I made my way upstairs. Jace's Pov: I look towards my father as he watches Rose ascend the stairs, "What's on your mind?" I ask him he looks back at me "I think she's pregnant..." He replied bluntly "Pregnant really dad? look at this severed head it would make anyone throw up" I said he had a smirk "She's seen worse way worse...and she didn't vomit then did she?" he a

Rose's Pov: I wake up with Jace's arm wrapped around my waist and this is the day before the wedding 'This is what my life has come to? forced into marriage, my friends lying to me and me wanting to be with someone I can't have' I look at the ring on my finger analyzing it I sigh in desperation wanting to be in Ryder's arms having him hold me and telling me it's going to be okay, what's wrong with me? Ryder killed Felicity my cousin and I have to use my head but my heart is telling me otherwise. I sit in an upright position sighing looking out the window hearing the birds harmonious noises, I then look back at Jace maybe it won't be too bad, I just have to find a way to change him somehow take him back to the real him kind and caring, but he is not the one I did fall for, he's turned out to be cold and a monster. I stare at his face as I remember waking up next to him in my bed when I was 16 god it feels just like yesterday I was going to stay with him for 3 months thinking it will

Rose's Pov: I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat I felt sick to the stomach my family was so fucked up to a point where I started thinking that my life was completely fucked well it already was currently. I turn up and stare at the roof "I'm getting married tomorrow" I said out loud turning back over putting a pillow on my face, At eighteen never saw my life heading this way if I thought about it I always planned what would happen how it would happen, but it always got me into arguments with my parents.Two Years Ago: I twist around suddenly annoyance running through me, "I wanted to do everything by the book, date, boyfriend, and girlfriend for a year or two that would lead to finally getting married and having kids in that specific order, but now that's obviously not going to work out for me because I'm now completely stuck in this predicament between a guy I've barely known over a week period this is not the 18th century and I'm not a cow up for auction" I exclaimed as they just stan

Rose's Pov: I look at my dress on the hanger "I never saw myself doing this Sasha...getting married to Jace" I said while she places a hairpin in my hair "I know if your mum and dad could see you now they would be proud of you....you look beautiful" she said putting her hands on both my shoulder blades trying to make the best of the situation I was currently in. "I wish they were here to see me but Jace and Michael have other ideas they probably don't trust my parents" I replied She smiled a bit and turned me around "You'll be fine sweetheart now I think you'll be needing to get in that dress" she said with a gentle smile as I brought it towards myself analysing it "So this marriage how does this Mascarade ball work?" I ask confused She smiled "This is a bit different than your regular wedding" she replied as she continues "Everyone will wear masks and he won't come till later so you just have to go around talk, dance, enjoy yourself and then when he arrives will head to the fro
