The day dawned crisp and clear. The sun poured through my window. Another day had dawned, bringing with it new hopes and aspirations. The light of dawn seeped into the room. Rose rubbed her bleary eyes and walked to the window. There was a pearly glow in the sky. The ray of sunlight lit up the room. The dawn chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in.Rose rolled over in her bed and used her pillow to cover up her face. It was to protect her yes r be light seeping into her room through the window. She immediately regretted not pulling the curtains over. She wasn't ready ready to get up from bed. She still wanted to be deep in sleep but she knew she had to get her butt out if the bed. She had made a promise she as going to pay a visit to the orphanage and she had to be there today. And the earlier she got there, the longer she was going to be there and the later she got there the shorter she was going to be there. She enjoyed being there so it was best she set out early.Reluctant, she too

Chapter 34"What?" Margarita sputtered.Rose gave a beating to herself mentally. She had just told herself she didn't want to burden Margarita with that and in less than a second she jusr ratted herself out. Now Margarita was definitely going to be bothered."Why? How? When?" Rose didn't know which of Margarita's question to answer first and this was exactly what she was avoiding. She didn't want to get the old lady all worried especially about her. Rose didn't even like anyone get bothered it worried about her. It made her feel like a burden and she didn't like to feel that way.That was the way she felt when she was taken to a foster care home when she was six. She felt like a burden to her foster parents. Although her foster parents let her visit the orphanage a lot and even spend holidays with the other kids she just always felt like a burden that was why she worked hard to fend for herself. She was working ao many jobs just to take care of herself and cover all her expenses. She

Chapter 36"Christine! Christopher! It's getting late!" Roman called the twins. They had said they wanted to eat out for dinner and Roman had just learnt of a new restaurant that just got opened around the beach. "No pizza for you both if you're one minute late to the car." He threatened. In a twinkle of an eye, the kids were standing before their father but Roman gasped. "What are you both wearing?" The twins were in a pizza costume, the both of them were dressed in a big slice of pizza costume only thier hands, feet and head in view from the costume. "Daddy, we're pizza eating pizza." Christine giggled."Happy Halloween, daddy." Christopher embraced his father's legs. With a frown, Roman asked, "first things first, how on earth did you get this costume? And Halloween is eight months away. So why are you both dressed this way?""That's too far away." Christopher grumpled with a pout."Margot told us not to tell you we cajoled her to getting you the costume." Christine told her dad

Chapter 38He felt stupid to think the kiss meant more to her. Just because the kiss was a passionate one and it felt like heaven didn't mean she felt the same way. He couldn't wrap his head around the fact that the lady he was always thinking about and dream about just said the passionate kiss they shared a week ago in his room was a mere kiss which means she meant the kiss was just a mistake and wasn't meant to me. He felt his already shattered heart break again. He tried his best not to think about and not get his hopes up but he finally just understood what the heart wants what it wants means. He tried to top thinking about her but he only find himself waiting to have her return into the house so he could behold her beautiful face every single day. Seeing her at the restaurant by the sea side was what broke his heart. Hearing that she was at the restaurant on a date with her boyfriend made him upset. He didn't even let the teins eat at the restaurant like they wanted to because h

Chapter 40Roman stood by the window behind his seat. He his palms were on window and the venetian blind pulled up. He watched as a car reversed from the lane it was parked and drove out of the parking lot.He couldn't stop thinking about the short haired lady that worked in his house. No matter how hard he tried, his thoughts were stuck with her and most of all his heart. He had tried to stay away from her and decided never to have any interaction but it didn't help him cure his feelings for her. Instead, it only cemeted it and made him more hungry for her. He ran his hands in his hair. He was a finished man.He couldn't fire her. First, it was just selfish to have her fired just because she rejected him. She was really good at what she was employed to do. She knew exactly how to take care of the twins and he knew Christopher and Christine would never forgive him if he ever kicked her out so the thought never crossed his mind. He just couldn't act crazy based on emotions. He had lear
