CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE: WHAT HAPPENED?ETHAN'S POVI open my eyes gradually as my ears start to buzz. The first thing I saw was a beautiful woman. Her expression is hidden by the way her golden hair cascades down either side of her face.Was it really the angel who visited me in my final moments and saw me for the last time? With her face serious and her brows furrowed as if she were attending to the most important subject in her life, she was washing my chest. All I want to do is stare at her intently so that I will always remember this panorama and her for the rest of my life, but I’m terrified of disturbing her.I didn't think of my purpose or the people whose hearts I couldn't rip out with my bare hands at that time, when I thought everything would be finished. The only thing that could have possibly crossed my thoughts was this stunning spitfire of a lady finally opening up to me after hating me for years, or maybe I just convinced myself that she was.I saw her living by herself, b

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE: MY HUSBANDROSE’S POV Even though two weeks have passed, it doesn't seem like it has been that long. It's because, despite the fact that not much has transpired, it feels like a lot has. Uncle Raven ordered his men to begin his assault on the British as promised. It was vicious and callous, just like a person. Only two of our men died, whereas more of their men did. Triads are still hesitant about a war they do not have a place in, even though the Italians are currently on our side. Min Hao appears to be amenable to bargaining, so Hades requested me to speak with him. Ethan was more intrigued by the concept, though. He objected to the idea of me talking to Min Hao alone. Since he is still recovering, I will only agree with him for the time being, but I am aware that in the long term, we cannot exist independently. If the Irish send in

CHAPTER FORTY-THREE: I'M READY ETHAN’S POVI never imagined the day would come when Rose would rest quietly in my arms. She is too independent and brash to submit to my grip in this way. I came to the conclusion at one time that she would eventually leave me and never look back. However, that was before I made the decision to keep her.When I told her to accompany me, I wasn't kidding. Although it was uttered in the heat of the moment, I couldn't have made a wiser choice.Rose will accompany me.She will be by my side when we move somewhere far from here once this is finished. I will transport her to the spot she adores, far from the horror. In comparison to the injury she will sustain after I'm finished, my chest wound is nothing. While she is changing my bandage, she is also updating me on my most recent misstep. She has been doing that for the previous few weeks. I make an effort to concentrate on what she is saying rather than the impulse to flip her over and f*ck her.Despite th

CHAPTER FORTY – FIVE: AMNESIA?ETHAN’S POVHave I just gone insane or did my wife just ask who I am? Even though I just touched to pull her close and make us both forget this morning even occurred, I lightly touched her shoulder while attempting to avoid applying pressure.She flinches, and for the first time I can see the current of uncertainty in her eyes. They exhibit emotions that I have never seen before."What are you doing to me? Who are you? ”"Ethan is my name. Your husband,"She gave her head a very little shake. She seemed to want to do it more, but the gentle neck brace prevented her."I don't know you, and you're not my husband, for sure."I grip her shoulder more firmly so I can feel her warmth while I speak more clearly."Rose, it's me."I maintain eye contact because I need this moment to feel connected to Rai. She might alter herself and collect her hair to become the woman the outside world expects her to be, but when I look intently into her eyes, I can see the flam

CHAPTER FORTY – SEVEN: DIDN'T EXPECT THATROSE’ AMARA POV My attention is focused on the ceiling, but not because it is a basic white surface. I'm constantly wondering how my life could have gone so badly. I'm still in bed.It's not just because of the mishap I’m in. It all began when I decided to take Maria’s place as the heir apparent to the throne of the family. While I was focused on making sure my twin sister was safe at the time, I also found myself drawn to this life due to the danger and the sudden bursts of excitement that were absent from my quiet existence with my family.As a result of a series of events, I began chasing danger in an effort to seize it by the horns. I had no idea that while I was running that race, I was losing parts of who I was... the little girl who loved her family and would sacrifice anything for them.Uncle Raven gave me a sense of security, but he had turned into a monster whose shadow stalks me everywhere. The only way to get rid of it is to utter
