RYAN'S POV The words leave my mouth too fast and too wrong. Before I could correct myself, Rose was already walking out, with her hands to her eyes. I hate making her cry. But she's too good and too young for me. If I don't survive this, I can't tie her down to my memories forever and get her wishing what ifs. She reaches the door, stops abruptly, and turns around, marching toward me with a purposeful stride, before I could understand what's about to happen. She climbs on the bed and leans in, kissing me. Her tongue slides expertly into my mouth, her small hands frame my face as her body slightly presses on mine. I keep up her pace, tasting her sweetness and sour tears as we kiss passionately. Our tongues thrusting deep into each other's mouths and hitting the back of our throats like it's a fucking blowjob. But her kiss is more emotional than physical; I can feel her pain through the hot kiss. She's breaking every vow she's held. She's making a silent promise that she'll never le

ROSE'S POV The door is open so I don't bother knocking I just step in. I look around the room to find her sitting on the edge of her bed, with her back to me. Her shoulders are slumped and she's trembling. I tiptoe closer to the bed and recognize the sounds of sobbing. My mom is crying? I never knew she did that. She sobs quietly staring at a frame in her hands. I step closer still to see it's my picture. Why's Mom crying over my picture? "Mom?" She jerks and turn around. Her eyes wild with fright. She wipes at her eyes and slowly stands. "Rose?" She sounds unsure, maybe she never thought I would return. She steps closer, stretching her hands to my face. "Yes. It's me Mom." "Oh..." She cries louder and covers me in a hug, but I don't return it. "I was so scared my darling worried something awful nay have happened..." "Mom..." I cut her short. She leaked my diary online, she signed a fake marriage certificate, she bribed a judge, she... I want to count every awful thing th

ROSE'S POV I ignore her, heading out and straight to Mom's room. I bang heavily on the door. "Mom!" I scream, startling some of the maids downstairs. There's muffled movement in the room. After waiting awhile and still no response. I bang again and scream louder this time. Still nothing. She's ignoring me. Fine. I think about calling Ryan, but the grandfather clock in the hallway shows it a few minutes past two. Ryan would be resting as recommended by the hospital. I head down. By the time I take the stairs down, my anger had turned to sadness, then pain. I'm sobbing when I take out the phone to call Monique, my fingers trembling as I struggle to ask if she's available to talk. My phone rings immediately. "M-Mon..." "Rose, are you okay?" "I'm not okay." I sniff. "I'm coming over." I wipe my face, stuff the phone back into my pocket, grab a key from the cabinet, push the door open, and angrily step out. Dad and Micah are still resting outside by the pollside. I ignore them and w

ROSE'S POV My head hurts, and my throat is too dry. I had a terrible nightmare earlier. I carefully caress them and stir in bed, opening my eyes. I reach for my Bible study on the dresser but I feel a jug instead. I turn around and my art supplies are nowhere in sight. I notice the walls of the room is coated in pitch black paint. This isn't my room. Then, I see Desmond leaning against the door with bandaged head and plastered arms, I realize it wasn't a dream. My 'husband' actually actually abducted me. "Rise and shine, beautiful." He carefully strides towards me in his awful sweatpants and bare chest. "Get me out of here." I sit up. "I don't want to be here." I jump down from the bed, my heart pounding as I to the door, but I slam into him with a loud groan. He roughly grabs my waist, pushing me back on the bed. He struggles against me until he's able to pins my hands on the headboard over my bed, his other hand enclose my ankles, pinning them to the bed as well. I try to

ROSE'S POV Micah smiles, a kind of sadistic smile I've never seen on his face before. "And where were you when this happened? Does Ryan know how incompetent you are?" Dad turns to Julius for another round of interrogation. I smack my forehead in despair. "It seriously wasn't his fault." "Sir, your second son made me drive your wife and mother-in-law to the elderly home. I was still with them when I got a distress call from Miss Monique." "Elias! Fu—" Micah kicks the nearest chair to him, emphasizing the swear word he just swallowed. "Where's that boy?" Dad mutters, picking up his phone to call his son. The door to the ward is pushed open as a nurse leads Mom in and exits afterwards. Mom rushes in with her expensive two-piece outfit and new Burkin. "Oh my! What happened to you, darling? I rushed down to here the moment I heard the awful news." Rushed down here the moment she heard the news? But the man you were together with crashed Desmond's stupid event to save me, and you're
