Chapter 181

ROSETwo weeks later.It has been two weeks since the incident. The media is no longer posting much about what happened.My dad is getting discharged today while Marie still has to stay in the hospital to recover.The past two weeks have been hell for me; I haven't seen or heard from Arabella, and it has only made me sick.I call Chloe to see if she has any idea of where they went, but she says no, and that alone makes the whole situation more unbearable.I try calling Conrald's number, but it isn't going through. Even Arabella's — none of them are taking my calls.While I battle with what I am facing, my mom makes sure to add to it by constantly calling me to come to the hospital, even when I have made it clear to her that I will never set foot there.She gets tired of calling me and goes to tell one of my dad's sisters about the whole situation. I like my aunt, and I can't bring myself to disobey her, so I decide to go help her take him home from the hospital today since Marie isn't

Chapter 182

NARRATORLavender steps out of the hotel, looking around as if she is waiting for someone.Finally, she sees a lady standing at the other end of the hotel and quickly rushes to meet her.The lady is Jessica, her sister."Oh God, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you since morning," Lavender says to Jessica."It wasn't my intention to delay; it's just that something came up, and I had to quickly go fix it. I didn't think it would take me this long," Jessica replies."It's okay; let's just go inside," she says, letting Jessica into the hotel room where she has been staying.After Dante chased her out that night, she went to lodge in a nearby hotel, and she has been staying there for the past few weeks. She is supposed to stay with Jessica, but since Jessica has a husband, it is impossible for her to live with her sister."Tell me, what have you found out so far?" Jessica asks."Not much; it's just that her kid is no longer staying with her. The other day, I saw Conrald come ove

Chapter 183

ROSEThe repeated knock on the door snaps me out of my silly thoughts.Earlier, I had been thinking about everything that's happened lately, especially the incident with Mr. Marcus at the hospital.A few days ago, I run into him on my way out of the hospital. At first, he doesn't react as if I'm someone he has seen before, but after some time, he pauses and calls my name.I'm shocked when I hear him call my name. At first, I don't want to answer, but then I move back to where I was standing."Good afternoon, Mr. Marcus," I greet, trying as much as possible to act as ignorant as I can. I need to make the whole thing seem like I have no business with him."Good afternoon, Rose. I was wondering if we've met somewhere. Don't get me wrong; what I mean is, your face looks familiar to someone I've seen recently," he says, smiling.I pause, listening to whatever he has to say to avoid saying something I shouldn't. First, he is trying to get words out of me regarding the incident from last tim

Chapter 184

ROSEThe repeated knock on the door snaps me back to reality; I had completely forgotten that someone is at the door waiting.I open the door, and what I see leaves me speechless.Killian is standing at my door holding a bunch of roses.At first, I think I'm imagining things until he finally says a word."Don't tell me you are just going to leave me out here standing," he finally says.I don't say a word; I just look at him like he has said something he shouldn't have, and indeed he does say something he isn't supposed to. I mean, how the hell does he expect me to let him in?"Of course you did... Don't tell me you seriously expect me to let you in?" I ask, rolling my eyes."I know you're not happy seeing me here. But at least let me in first. Then we can discuss," he tells me, as if letting him in is some sort of negotiation. And even if it is, I'm not ready for any of it. At least not with him."You knew I wouldn't be happy seeing you, then why did you come? I mean, you should have

Chapter 185

ROSEKillian immediately grabs the phone from me. I thought he said I wouldn't dare. What the hell is he doing taking the phone?"You said earlier I wouldn't dare call the cops on you, so why are you taking the phone? You should stand and watch me call them to throw you out," I tell him."How did you end up hating me this much? You used to love me so much. What changed?" he asks stupidly. The fact that he is acting ignorant only makes him look even more stupid."I guess you're just asking this to piss me off. But fortunately enough, I have nothing to say to you. I just want you to turn back and leave. Mind you, I didn't send you an invitation or tell you I wanted to see you. Showing up on my doorstep unannounced is kind of annoying, or should I say you're intruding on my privacy?" I ask."Don't tell me you have nothing to say to me. The fact that you've forgotten everything we shared still baffles me. I know I f***** up by going for your sister; that isn't enough reason for you to sto

Chapter 186

ROSE His eyes widen as my palm finds its way to his left cheek."Did you just slap me?" he asks, facepalming himself."Yes, I just did. Come on, what are you going to do? Fight me like you always did? Try to beat me?" I ask, and he lets out a silly chuckle."You keep bringing up the past. I know I did those things, but I already apologized years ago. Why can't you just let go of the past and forgive me properly?" he says."There's no way I'm forgiving you for everything you did. You know I thought forgiving you would make you change your ways. But you proved me wrong; it's only made you do worse than what you did in the past. Surprisingly enough, you still think I will return to the little girl who badly wanted you beside her. Too bad I no longer give a f*** about you," I reply, rolling my eyes."I knew it; you never really forgave me then. I mean, if you had forgiven me, you wouldn't bring it up every time we have issues. Just imagine what just happened. You really slapped me becaus

Chapter 187

ROSE After Killian leaves, I go back inside to continue what I was doing.I am getting ready to go visit my dad before he interrupted.These past few days, my evil aunt has made it mandatory for me to visit the old guy, even when I made it clear that I no longer have any relationship with any of them. She insisted I should do the needful since Marie is currently in the hospital.I don't want to accept at first, but after much convincing from other relatives, I have no choice but to agree with them.I pick my bag from the room and head out. I then pick my car keys from the table before going outside.I lock the door and then walk towards my car. I have nearly opened the door when I hear someone calling my name from the other side of the house.I don't want to pause at first, but when the person keeps calling, I stop and turn, only to see Jessica waving at me.I turn back to see if I'm the one she is waving at, or if someone else is there that she is waving at, but there is no one ther

Chapter 188

ROSE I park my car at the car lot at my father's house and then climb out. Jessica is the main reason why I had delayed. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that I had forgiven her, she still insisted that I was angry at her and didn't want me to leave until she was sure I had forgiven her.She tells me a lot of things concerning her sister. She even tells me how Lavender has been cheating on Dante and how that had started long before the affair with the young man she later eloped with, though it isn't the first time I'm hearing this because Dante had already told me months back.I find out that she had been cheating on Dante even before she cheated with the young man she eloped with. I don't expect her to expose her sister that much, but she does; she even goes as far as telling me how her sister has been sleeping with the guy now in Dante's mansion before he is finally sacked. It is also her who gets the gardener fired because, at some point, the guy begins threatening to tell D

Chapter 189

ROSEI knock on the door for the third time, hoping someone will come answer it, but still no response.The door is locked, but I'm not sure if it's from the inside or the outside. My dad hasn't been able to stand on his feet, so the door being locked can only mean my mom isn't around; she has literally locked him in and gone out.But why would she tell me to come around if she isn't going to be home? How the hell am I supposed to get in? For heaven's sake, I'm not supposed to be doing all this; I just have to do it because these people are forcing me into it.She tells me my aunt is around, but I don't see any sign of my aunt. Was she lying about the whole thing just to make me come?These past few days have been kind of strange. My mom starts acting nice all of a sudden, and I know it isn't because she likes me or anything; it is because I am helping out and her favorite daughter isn't around.I know for sure she wouldn't even fake it, let alone act nice towards me, if Marie were ar

Chapter 190

ROSEMy mom rushes over the moment she sees Marie seated on the floor, wincing in pain."What have you done, you ungrateful daughter? Can't you at least consider the fact that she's just coming back from the hospital!" my mom yells at the top of her voice.I don't say a word; I just stand and watch as she helps Marie to her feet. I mean, what the hell am I supposed to say? I'm not even in the mood to defend myself, knowing full well that she will only believe what Marie tells her. Defending myself feels like a waste of time; she should just go ahead and believe whatever she wants because I'm not ready to defend anything."Mom, it's not her fault. You don't have to blame her; it was my fault for trying to get close to her after what I've done to her. I understand it's hard for her to forgive me, and I'm perfectly okay with it. I'm willing to bear it as long as she will forgive me. Please don't blame her," Marie blinks innocently.Funny how she thinks I'm not aware of her silly games. I
