Chapter Twenty-one

Chapter Twenty-oneRosaline's POV:"Miss Carter." The young man at the counter beams. I smile back. "Do you have these?" I hand him a pack of medicine. He stares at it, then back at me, and nods. He directs me to where I'll find it. "Don't you think you need to visit the hospital? These stomach relief pills seem not to be working."I pay for them. "Thank you.""Does your husband know?""Do you usually question your customers about their private lives?"He exhales. "Sorry if that made you uncomfortable.""I nod. ""Take care of your health, Miss Carter. " I sit outside on one of the tables and stare at the instant noodles I had gotten. Would I be able to eat it?The steaming paper cup noodles stare at me and I pick up the paper fork. I bring the first fork to my mouth and chew.Nothing. Perhaps the previous times were my stomach rejecting home cooked meals after going a long long time without...A crawling sensation rises to my throat that makes me gag. I run to the road side

Chapter Twenty-Two

Chapter Twenty-TwoRosaline's POV:"What do you want?""Your assistance." He comes closer and I take a step back. My eyes move around looking for the closest exit if I were to make a run should anything happen. I stare at the armed men. Pulling such a move would be too risky. I had to send Ethan to Harvard. I have to be at mum's side when she wakes up. "What kind of assistance?"He hands me a phone. "His location..." He pauses. "How much deposit can get me this?"I scoff. Do all this fucking rich people think that money can buy whatever they fucking want from me?He stares at me with wide eyes. "You don't want money..." He pauses. "What then do you want? "I want you all to leave me the fuck alone!I hear the cock of a gun beside me and I swallow. "I want nothing... Just peace."He furrows his brows at me and a chuckle slips free from his mouth. "Christian threatened you, did he not?"Christian? That's his name? More like Satan. "He..."Don't get cocky with me Carter. Unless..."H

Chapter Twenty-three

Chapter Twenty-threeAlaric's POV:I can hear her sobs. My heart feels it all. I raise my hand to knock and stop. She would never tell me should I ask. I recount the last time I tried to cheer her up.I hear the doorbell and move to open it. A red haired man with a cane stands outside. "May I help you?"His blue eyes lighten and he smiles. "Mr Sylvester."His well-tailored black suit is no ordinary one as there are only two in LA and I have one of it. "May I help you?" I repeat. "I need to see your wife?"I scoff and a chuckle slips free."What makes you think that I would let a random man into my house at such an ungodly hour to see my wife?"My eyes land on the golden head of his staff and I could swear that I had seen that design somewhere.His smile remains but turns grim. "It would be in your best interests to heed."The atmosphere shifts and I peak my eyes and ears. My muscles tense. So far, I could see no men or bodyguards. That couldn't mean he didn't have any. I knew wh

Chapter Twenty-four

Chapter Twenty-fourAlaric's POV:"I am only looking out to make sure word doesn't get out about our contract.""Don't worry. I won't say anything. Besides... I will never pass up that sum of money."She takes two steps and crouches. She grabs her stomach and a pained sound leaves her mouth. My legs carry me to her side and I hold her."I'm fine." She hits my hand off for the umpteenth time today. "It's just a mere pain."She tried to get to her feet but I can see the struggle. I hold her elbow and take her shoulder. "Let me help you."She hits me off. Again. "I said I'm fine."I've had enough of this shit!I shouldn't have come to a conclusion on this marriage with her. This was a stupid decision. A useless one. A limiting one. She struggles to get up and fails. I turn my back to her and begin waking away, then I stop. I can hear her breathing, hear her battling to stand and walk. And I could bet she couldn't and wouldn't for the next few minutes. I turn and carry her off t

Chapter Twenty-five

Chapter Twenty-fiveViolet's POV:"How long were you going to hide this for?!" My vision blurs and focuses. "Aunt Ophelia." "How long?!" Uncle Dan takes her by both shoulders. "Philia, I think you should lower your voice. ""Lower my voice?" She scoffs. "This child doesn't know what she's battling with!""I am not a child.""You are a child Violet! An irresponsible one at that!""Irresponsible?" A chuckle slips free from my mouth. "Didn't you protect grandpa too like I'm doing now?""Don't you fucking...""Do not speak about my mum like that aunt Ophelia. I will take care of her."I turn to uncle Dan."Where is she?""You are not to see her. Never.""What do you mean I'm not to see her?"The sound of something rolling echoes in front of us as Damian walks into the office. "Damian was listed as her guardian. Not you."The room becomes hot and I can feel my skin burning. Nausea builds inside me and my chest twists. My voice is an octave below a whisper. "How could you?""I had to

FATHER

Chapter Twenty-sixViolet's POV:A whisper escapes my mouth."No."I drag my hand from his. "No Jamie." I turn and grab the door knob but he moves my hand away and locks the door. He runs his hands through his hair. "Think Violet! I killed him!""You didn't know!""It doesn't change anything.""It does. We... We... Can say that... That it was...""This is ridiculous!"I find the words I was searching for. "Self defense."He scoffs and rests on the door. "I'll end up in prison." He whispers then meets my eyes. "I can't. My license will be out next week. I need to get it."I point at the body. "We can't cover this!""My heart drums in my chest and I can hear the blood pumping through my veins.Should anyone come looking... Should neighbours find out. No. They shouldn't. They couldn't. ""We have to tell the police.""And get me to prison?! That's fucking ridiculous!""No..." I walk closer to him and take his face in my hands. "We'll tell the police that he came at you with a weapon

Chapter Twenty-seven

Chapter Twenty-sevenRosaline's POV:"Aren't you coming?" Aloe's voice came up as soon as the call connected. Coming? Where?She exhales and her next words are what I know they'll be.I was to escort her to the airport or rather, her jet where she was to leave for China. "I'm sorry I forgot.xbtc""You okay?""Yeah. I'm fine.""Okay. I'll talk when I land.""Mm..." The door opens and Mr Sylvester comes in with a tray. Meat, vegetables and soup?"The doctor said it's okay to still eat spicy food but in moderation but it may worsen symptoms of heartburn and indigestion if consumed in excess or on an empty stomach."I stare at the food and pick up the fork. "To be on the safe side, you need to avoid it until..." He trails off. "Until you get better."I put the first spoon in my mouth, and I spit it out. He hands me a glass of water. Seconds after I bring it to my lips, he takes it away. "Sip. You shouldn't drink everything at once."A knock sounds on the door. "Mrs Sylvester?""Yes.

Chapter Twenty-eight

Twenty-eight~ROSALINE~"Can't you watch where you're going?!"She didn't see it?Was she pretending?She hands me the phone like it's some kind of poison. I bow, straighten myself and walk away.. I bump into someone. "I told you not to leave that table." Mr Sylvester takes my hand and moves me back to where I was sitting. "I had to use the restroom." He sits me down. "Where's your drink?" I look around the table and I can't find it. "Don't leave here." He says. "I'll get you a new glass." I nod. He leaves to get me a new glass. My stomach tumbles and a smile creeps to my lips.If I was being honest I really loved this kind of treatment. It was perfect. But it was fake. I exhale and turn my head to watch where he had moved off to. My head turns to the hall's entrance. It opens. My blood runs. I spring to my feet.I look around the entire hall before making my way over to the entrance. Calm down. It's not what you think it is. I clench my fists to reduce the trembling. I g

Chapter Twenty-nine

Twenty-nine~ROSALINE~"Won't you take it?" I will not risk Ethan's exposure on a silver platter. "It can wait." I say. A text pops up. "Thank you."I let an exhale slip free. Mr Sylvester drops the tray of food he had brought with him. I wrinkle my nose at the sight of the food. "I hope this is not as bad as the tasteless hospital food I was fed.""It has a little bit of spice. " He says. "Although. I don't think it's too little."I take the spoon and taste it. "The spice is barely noticeable. "He blinks at me, shock written all over his face. "Barely... Barely noticeable?"He stares at the food and I notice his red eyes. I laugh. "This is the bare minimum of spicy for me. If you Mr Sylvester find this spicy...""Alaric.""Mm?""Call me Alaric."I nod. If that's what you want. "Okay."The room goes so quiet that I can hear the ticking of the clock. I rub my upper arm and Mr... Alaric stands and closes my windows. He clears his throat. "Whether it's tasteless or not, you

MAYBE

Chapter Thirty~ROSALINE~"Going somewhere?" I raise my head, he smiles and raises keys. "I can get you there faster."I blink at him and a frown finds its way to my forehead. "I've done this before Rosie. Why the judgy look?"True. He had. "Fine."We hop into his car and zoom off for Violet's address. I knock on the door. "Violet?"No answer."Violet!! Vio..."The door creaks open and a man pokes his head out. It struck me here that no one knew Violet's family. No one knew anything about her. And I was staring at someone I didn't know. "Is Violet around?"The man nods. "And you are?""Rosaline Carter.""Come in."The smell of sweat and dampness hits my nose. My stomach twists and I suppress a gag. "Lady Rosie..." I meet Violet's widened eyes. She moves her eyes quickly from me to the living room and I can see the red in her cheeks. "I think the microwave is..."A man stands in an apron and a frying spoon in one hand. That's it. That's the one that asked her what she was doi
