031 – DON'T SEXUALIZE HER.

RYAN'S POV.It's already over. You can't fix us. Rose last words replay in my head as I watch her walk away. I don't want to force it right away, but I know it can't be over, not until we have our happily ever after. I'm not going to sexualize things between us. I just want us on the same page. Real connection.I lay back and rub my hands over my face thinking of a way to make things right. This is supposed to be a fun weekend not a time to get mad over what I said and didn't say.I consider writing her a letter—girls love reading love letters, right? I move to my reading table, trying not to step on something important. The room's still a mess. I think about giving her a gift too, something she’d actually like. But I don’t even know her that well yet, do I?I make a mental note to learn everything about her. Every little detail.Still, one thing I have noticed, she likes jewelry. Not just any kind, but bold, eye-catching pieces. At her engagement ceremony, she nearly burned a hole

032 – IF I DID NOTHING...

RYAN'S POV That night while Rose is sleeping, I sneak into her room. Carefully moving around to her drawer not. I pause for a second to admire her. She sleeps so beautifully because she knows she's loved. I find her sketchbook, flipping through pages of her drawings. She stirs, and I hold my breath hoping she doesn't sees me. I take one of her sketches, the one of a hand reaching for the light. I arrange the book in the exact position I found it. I lean into her, placing a kiss on her forehead and silently slipping out. As I move to my room, I stop in the hallway, and hang the sketch. Tomorrow when she asks, I'll say a housekeeper framed it. The next day moves quickly, and we're down again preparing dinner. She's successfully avoided me all day, and I doubt she plans on changing it at dinner. She's sitting at the far end of the counter smashing potatoes and humming to herself rather than talking to me. I'm standing by the cooker heating the pan. The doorbell interrupts the si

033 – FOREPLAY

RYAN'S POV We settle into the couch. Close, but not touching. I take a long sip from my glass. "Tell me Rose, what scares you the most?" She takes a sip of her wine and turns to me looking uncertain. "I don't know. You know it feels like we're running out of time. But there's nothing as scary as just doing the same thing, day in, year in, year out and one morning when you wake up, you realize that you're grey and have achieved nothing...no legacy, no family, no wealth... just nothing." Her words are so deep, moving past my ears down to my heart. I ponder on it for a while. "That's a lot to fear." I finally say, trying to make light of the matter. I refill my glass. "So you? What do you fear the most?" Fear is a strong word for, I don't know. "Uhm... I'm the one asking the questions." I say with a smile. "What's the one thing you've ever wanted to do in your life?" She goes blank. "I already have my path set before me by my mother. Be a religious scholar, and raise to the ranks o

034 – XXX

RYAN'S POV Right now, my mind's not on the business trip Corey and his sons are on or the reports I have to attend to before tomorrow morning. I can't even think about Desmond and his threat. The only thing that has my complete attention is the luscious lips I'm devouring right now and why it took me so long to recreate what I've been fantasizing about since the night at the club. "You're so sweet.""Yeah... ba sga." She says gibberish. We kiss, our tongues thrusting deep into each other's throats with no means of breathing. We're both out of breath, gasping into each other's mouths, but neither is ready to pull away. I grab her thighs and press her clit directly against my erection. She gasps loudly and deepens the kiss as my erection presses against her clit. I rest my hands on her ass, slowly guiding her to grind against my hard length.I straighten slightly from her. "Do you want me?" I whisper.She bites her lips, hesitating. "I'm scared, Ryan. What if someone finds out what we'

035-RISKING IT ALL.

ROSE'S POVI stir on my bed and block the morning light from reflecting on my face. I feel severe aches between my thighs, and it reminds me of last night. I run my fingers along my clit and wince, realizing how sore I am from last night's foreplay. I sit up, not sure how to feel about this. Last night I crossed the line. I let Ryan do things to me no man has ever done, and I loved it. It was the most exciting, and may I say, satisfying feeling in the world to have a man touch you like he worships you. I turn to his side of the bed that's now empty and inhale his masculine scent, a smile curving my lips.But it's morning now, and I can't help but feel a little awful, like I wasn't supposed to let myself feel that way, especially with him. I sit up, wrapping the duvet around my body, and wait for the regret. I wait for it, but it never comes. My family's due to return today and I had sex with my Step-uncle—oral sex.My phone rings beside me, drawing me out of my thoughts and back to rea

036-CAN'T FIGHT THIS.

Can't fight this ROSE'S POVHe leans against the counter, not trying to come after me. His seductive body is making it very hard to concentrate on being mad at him. "Is that what Helen said about your sketches? Because I think they're amaz...""You don't know me, okay? Besides our sexual attraction, you know nothing about me. I'm engaged...""To a man who cheated on you once?" He grabs my waist. I try to pull away, but he holds me firm, pinning me between his muscular thighs and running my lower waist. His green eyes pierce into me. "I'll never cheat on you. This is your story; don't you see you get to write your own heartbeat? Not Desmond. Not your mom...""Not you." I add, still holding his gaze. I've been the good girl, the one who obeyed the rules, the one who answered, Yes, ma'am. How could I betray that when I could lose everything in the process? I keep staring, and despite my pounding heart, I manage to sound level. "I was content with my life. I knew exactly who I was and what

037 – WHAT ARE WE?

ROSE'S POV I don't wait for him to say anything more. I grab my bag, get off the floor, brush off my dress, and walk out the door without turning back. I keep telling myself it's over, but somehow I know I'm lying to myself because I've been trying to get rid of Ryan for the past month or so, but it's been to no avail. I slam the door shut, enter my car, and grip the steering wheel with shaking hands as I drive out of the driveway. I try to shift my attention to the activity at the school today. Student ambassador. I'm supposed to want this. But it seems I'm only doing it for my mother. I wonder how she'd react if she knew what I did last night. The moment I pack my car, I jump out, stumbling as I rush down to the pavilion. I bump into someone on my way in. I barely have time to register who it is; I just mumble a sorry and attempt to continue running off. "Hey." Professor Sharma blocks my path, grabbing my shoulders. I relax and catch my breath. "I'm sorry I'm late. Traffic." I

038–HE KNOWS ABOUT US.

ROSE'S POV. "Uhm... The family's due to return today." My phone rings; I check. Sharma. "I ditched my election campaign speech today." "So, you're going to come clean and tell your family everything?" She takes more wine. "Tell my family what?" I squeeze my face. "Oh no. Are you drunk?" "Drunk?" She laughs. "I have a higher alcohol tolerance than this." She adds. "You ditched the election? I had expected you to do it since." "No. Not like I'm out. I just felt suffocated today and needed a break." "But moral ambassador is not for you." She sees my change in expression and adds quickly, moving closer to me. "No. No. Like, you're moral and all, but I think being a college teacher is all that you should be. I'm not saying you shouldn't dream high. But you've got your own, which is drawing. You're an artist; it's high time you changed that dream into a plan." "Girl. Let's not do this." Ryan can bring up my drawing because he knows nothing about it, but not Monique. She knows h

039 – MARRIED TO DESMOND?

ROSE'S POV"You know the Hilton name is too fragile, and everyone is desperately searching for a way to bring us down, don't be their opening." Elias warns.I push past him, not waiting to hear another condemning word from his mouth. I lower my head and cover my mouth, trying to hold back my tears as I rush into my room.I wonder who else suspects Ryan and me. This is bad. I sink into my bed, holding my knees to my chest. No one can ever find out about us. No one. My body shakes involuntarily, I stand and begin pacing.Soon, Mom will send a maid to bring me down as it's mandatory ritual that whenever members of the family return from a travel, we all sit and catch up. I really wish I could escape this. It used to be fun when I was five and I didn't have much to worry about.I'm nervously waiting for someone to see my sketch Ryan put in the hallway.After long hours spent settling in, a maid knocks on my door, calling me down for the get together."Granny! How was your flight?" I strugg

040- WHO'S RESPONSIBLE?

ROSE'S POV. I sit up properly in bed. Certainly, this must be a mixed up. I never conducted a marriage with anyone so how can they be a marriage certificate? I text back for clarification and details. But I get an auto reply stating the registry's working hours and the process to book an appointment. Panic working it's best in me, I barely think and book an appointment. I adjust my nightwear and jump down the bed, they're only two people who can properly advise me at the moment, Micah and Ryan. I hurry towards Ryan's room and I'm about to know when I remember he's gone. I'm suddenly sad. I swipe through my messages and send an additional text to all my unread messages. I don't know where he is and to worsen things, he's not communicating with me. Micah would not be up by this time and owing to all the works he's been joggling lately, he needs his rest. I make my way down the hall. The light in the study is already on. That leaves me with one person. I run up the stairs and bust i
