ROMAN POVI dismount, approach Darrick with respect,"Thanks for letting Claire go with us," I say, gratitude in effect.Darrick nods, resigned, "No problem, Roman," hollow tone,My eyes narrow, sensing something's not quite shown."Darrick, is everything okay?" I ask with concern,His gaze drifts to Rose, longing in his eyes, forlorn."No, Roman," he admits, tormented, "I still love her so,"Vixen, Rose, my heart sinks, unexpected, I know.My face hardens, protective, "Rose is mine, Darrick," I warn,Firm, Darrick's eyes flash, acknowledging defeat, torn."I know," he whispers, resigned, "But I couldn't help myself,"My voice softens, sympathy, "Darrick, move on," I advise with wealth."For your own good," I add, gentle, Darrick nods, empty, hollow,I return to Rose, mount our horse, "We're leaving," I say, firm, to follow.Darrick watches as we ride away,From him, from his love, unrequited, forever to stay.My arm wraps around Rose's waist, secure, possessive,"Mine," I whisper, cl

SIA POV I storm into my two-bedroom apartment, slamming the door behind me. I'm fuming, my anger boiling over like a pot left unattended on the stove. How dare Roman dismiss me like that? Me, the mother of his only child. How dare he choose that...that...thing over me?I throw my bag onto the couch, pacing back and forth across the room. I'm seething, my mind racing with thoughts of revenge. Roman thinks he can just cast me aside like yesterday's trash? He thinks he can replace me with that fat, disgusting woman?I stop pacing, my eyes narrowing as I think of Rose. She's not even pretty. What could she possibly offer Roman? Why is he so obsessed with her? Does she satisfy him better in bed than I do? For Pete's sake, that woman is barren. Roman's made a big mistake. He thinks he has won, but I'll show him. I'll show him what it means to cross Sia.Just then, I hear the door open behind me. I turn to see Kane walking in, a carefree look on his face. "Hi, beautiful. What's up?" he asks

ROMAN POVI sit at my desk, staring blankly at the papers in front of me. My mind is elsewhere, still reeling from the events of the previous day. Sia's sudden return and her claims have left me shaken.Just as I'm starting to gather my thoughts, my assistant buzzes in. "Boss Roman, you have a visitor."I look up, expecting it to be a business associate or perhaps a client. But instead, I see Sia standing in the doorway, a look of determination etched on her face."Hi Roman, how is your day going?" Sia questions, walking towards me, her heels clicking on the floor. She then takes a seat opposite mine, crossing one leg over the other."Emma, excuse us," I command calmly, not wanting anyone to witness this uncomfortable encounter.My assistant silently obliges, leaving Sia and me alone."Sia," I say, my voice neutral. "What can I do for you?""Roman, we need to talk," she says, her voice firm.I raise an eyebrow, feeling a sense of unease. "I'm busy, Sia. Whatever it is, can't it wait?"

ROSE POVI watch in the silence, my expression calm but a storm brewing from within. Why exactly did Sia have to just bash in here without an invitation and what was she thinking hugging Claire like that without prior explanation?.This Sia woman is quite commendable if I do say so myself. I don't know wether to comment her acting or to feel sorry for her plight. "... Sweet heart know that I never wanted to lose you. You were taken away from me. I really love you my baby. Mama loves you so much" She concludes her pointless bickering in a pool of her own tears.A nod twist in my stomach as I watch her pathetic show of victimization. I look up at Roman and can see him clench his his fist as he rolls his eyes, bet he wasn't buying her rubbish either. "So what you are trying to say mom is that papa separated us, when I was a little baby?" Claire questions, confused by her declaration. Roman's face twist into a frown, his anger frightening, it sends shivers down my spine.Sia turns to u

THIRD PERSON POV Don William bashed into Kane's apartment, a ferocious frown on his face as he strides to Kane's booming speaks, hitting them to the side. "Hey Pa watch it" Kane panics as he hurries over to his half broken appliances and begin salvaging. "What was the meaning of this, are you drunk old man" "Yes Kane I am drunk with rage, infact I am mad with rage" Uncle Williams says as he takes a seat comfortably on one of Kane's king sized couches. "You want to know why?" He asks, plaguing Kane's interest. Unknowingly he nods his head giving his father the go ahead, "Because I see no reason why you would be celebrating despite we losing horrible in this pack fight.The look of his face is utter dismay, it looks like he had just lost a lot of money after sacrificing every. Kane driven by curiosity decides to ask the one question at the plaguing his thoughts. "Why shouldn't I celebrate father? we won. Sia just gained entry into Roman's household and Rose is on our side, she is g
