Never Again 🌷 •R O S E C L I N T O N• I was deep in thought when someone placed their hand on my shoulder as I screamed and jumped in surprise, "Hey-hey, Rose, what happened?" Asked Aiden, steadying me as he held both of my upper arms in his while my right hand rested against my chest." Sighing in relief, "Nothing, I'm fine." I said. He brushed free tendrils of my hair from my forehead as they were sticking to my forehead, "You don't look fine, Rose." Said Aiden, searching my eyes for something. I shook my head in denial, "I was thinking something, you surprised me." I said and smiled a bit. But, I knew I couldn't fool Aiden as he was too smart for himself. Trying to change the topic, "You needed something?" I asked. Squinting his eyes at me for a second, he breathed out and said, "Ah-yes. Linda left for work and I thought you were sleeping so I woke the twins up and they both are ready for school." Her eyes widened, as a smile took over her features, "Did you really handle t

Never Again 🌷 “I wish it could be so that God would grant my plea… In your place, love, death would take me.” ~•~ R O S E C L I N T O N• "Sometimes I don't understand this guy!" Spitting in frustration under my breath, I saw one more taxi passing my side. Standing in the middle of the road, I waited for a damn taxi. But, thanks much to my luck, it won't stop even if it was empty. Absent-mindedly, my hands wrapped around myself as the cool wind whizzed past me, sending a shiver in my body. I didn't have any clue that it was going to be this chilly tonight. If I knew, I would have carried an overcoat with me. Since I was going to the party- for which Aiden said a clear no!- but did I listen to him? No! Of course not, I would not agree to whatever he said, unless he explained the reason. Wearing a simple light green dress, with white flowers on it, I knew the dress was a bit favourable to wear on sunny days, but as Issac said I look pretty, I wore it, how could I deny my

Never Again🌷 “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist.” ~•~ •X A V I E R K N I G H T• There she was, the love of my life, my wife. She looked so simple, yet so beautiful. I couldn't take my eyes off of her as she walked in wearing the green dress. Amazement was so obvious in her honey browns, the moment my eyes landed her hand intertwined with Aiden, my jaw clenched. I balled my empty hands in fists to prevent myself from ripping his hands off her but when she slipped away from his hold, my fists loosened. Sitting on the stool, I saw her confused features while interacting with Katherine. Pouring myself a glass of whiskey, I sipped on it while just admiring her, my Rose. Even if she doesn't remember anything about her past, she still had the very name I used. For the last five years, I haven't seen her, not even a single glance at her photo that had been placed upside down on my desk. I felt someone's hard gaze and I found Aiden glaring at me. Followi

Never Again 🌷 X A V I E R• After the doctor checked my blood pressure, he went to see the status of my daughter. When I declared the relation of being the father to the kids, Evelyn's hard eyes weren't easy to ignore. They had questions, numerous questions in those dark browns. She looked like she was going to explode and burn me alive. Although, she did utter a single word, asking, "Why?" It wasn't just a word, it was the whole train of questions. I knew she wouldn't back down until I answered the question, so to my stupidity, I said, "It wouldn't take much time now considering the donor is her father." I very well knew it was a stupid reason, but I had to give one. Descending down the corridor, I made my way toward the room that the doctor had asked me to come to. I halted in front of OT-07, the room allotted to my daughter, my heart was racing at another level and I did not want to break down here. "I know," someone said beside me that broke the train of my thoughts. Te

Never Again 🌷 •EVELYN / ROSE• That was probably the longest drive of my life, in these twenty-four hours my life had turned upside down. First my kids got hospitalized and my daughter's condition was critical when a guy with eyes familiar to my kids, declared his claim on my kids. He thought I was a fool or he was mistaken that I was weak. I could be anything but that, in these five years I've learned to cope with my unknown past, I know how to connect dots. And after connecting everything that happened in these past few weeks after Mr. Knight entered my life, it led to a conclusion. Xavier Knight is indeed related to my past, but to what extent, I didn't know until tonight. How could I be so foolish to not acknowledge the feelings, his look, that unknown connection to his son and the familiarity between my kids and him. I knew, I was afraid to voice out the truth, but somewhere back in my mind, I know who he is to my kids. But, for now I don't know what he is to me. Ther
