Rosalie's POV"I can manage to walk and you know that," I rolled my eyes when Xander snorted after I spoke. I was in his arms. He was taking me inside the house even after I tried to work on my own."Do you know what you've gone through?" Xander rolled his eyes, "I'm surprised you're perfectly fine and it makes me happy. I wouldn't have been able to deal with it if I had lost you."My cheeks heated up and I leaned into him, "now that's enough, please put me down."Xander chuckled, his eyes darting around since we were in the living room and gently, he placed me on the two seater couch and at once settled beside me, pulling my head onto his chest, "I owe you a proper apology.""I am sorry." He breathed out and exhaled while I stared up at him. I could count the number of times he had apologized to me before and how hard it's been. But that moment was different, he was saying everything thoughtfully."For wanting to let us go. Believe me I felt horrible. Thought you'll hate me. I didn't
Fucked four time in a day. My stitches hurting yet I still went on. Sleeping in the arms of the man I love. I rolled on the bed and back into his warm arms that were waiting for me."Good morning, my gorgeous rose," Xander whispered and I could swear butterflies danced in my tummy. My cheeks heated up so much I was sure it'd boil an egg and Xander released a small laugh behind me."It always amuse me.""What?" I asked and at once he rolled over until he was lying over me and I released a wince."Oh my," Xander moved backwards at once, "Sorry about that."“What amuses you?" I confronted with a pout and he laughed as he settled beside me, his hands raking my hair."Your shyness yet boldness." He locked eyes with me, a smile forming on his lips. "I always look forward to seeing you bold yet shy."All of his words added to the heated feeling inside of me. Warmth. Love. I smiled and leaned into him, "I'm after all full of surprises."He chuckled as he nodded, "True. Now let's get you to ea
"Why are you doing this to me, Aria?" I drawled as I stared at my best friend who had her face fully into her phone, "Aria?""What?" She jerked her face up suddenly and I spotted the crimson blush on her face and my brows knitted up, "what the hell is going on, huh?""What?" She rolled her eyes and quickly switched off her phone screen which heightened my suspicion. It's been three weeks since we went to visit Sophia.Her mum gave me a mouthful which made Xander visibly angry and when the woman didn't stop talking, Xander had to show her my wounds that her daughter inflicted on me.Collins was on the run because apart from the fact that Xander wanted to tear him into pieces, the authorities were looking for him.And then, my wound had almost healed up and things were starting to look good and we were out in the restaurant. Aria and I and we have been talking for a whole ass hour but she wouldn't even hear me."What'd you say?" She flashed me a fake smile, "I was just busy looking at s
There she was. The love of his life. Her happiness written all over her face all she watered the flowers. It was only a few days after the engagement that Alexander found out she loved gardening and he loved watching her admire the flowers."They smell so nice," Rosalie turned to him with a big smile and Alexander chuckled, his eyes running down her tummy.That had a life in her.The tummy having another life in her. His happiness knew no bounds when the doctor declared it to them.It was one month after the engagement that they broke the news to them and he had never been that excited."Come on, stop staring at me," Rosalie rolled her eyes, her cheeks turning crimson red and Alexander laughed as he walked towards her."I can't wait to see the baby. I really want to," He muttered as he thought of it. He'd get to be a father. Be a good father that he never had. Nothing would be more fulfilling.But would he be able to treat the baby right?"It'll like me, wouldn't it?""Oh, I don't lik
The young lady clutched tightly to her handbag, her heart racing at every nanosecond that passed by. Every step towards the elevator she saw ahead wavered.Her hands balled into a fist in an attempt to stop them from trembling but it didn't work. Her pulse throbbed in her ears as she walked.It's her first day at work!She had never been that paranoid. She understood the reason. It was her first time in such a big company.She ran her hands through her golden bronze hair that ran freely down her shoulders in an attempt to calm her erratic heartbeat.But nothing worked.Breathe Rosalie. Breathe.She sucked in a deep breath and rearranged her hair. A hand on her chest, she assured herself she would do well. She had a choice; to go in there, walk to his office and stop being a scared kitten.With hands that struggled not to tremble, she pressed on the button of the elevator. It slid open and she got in.Thankfully, no one was in. She guessed she came earlier than expected. She had just g
Rosalie could swear she heard the wrong words but she didn't. Her eyes widened and joy surged through her like a comet. Her heart fluttered when she digested his words again. He didn't fire her. He gave her a chance to work. Her heart leaped for joy and a smile broke on her face."Yes sir" she chuckled when she found her tongue and she made to walk towards Alexander.She barely took a foot when the hand grabbed her wrist. It was a painful grip and it caused her to whip her head to Sophia who held her down. Rosalie sucked in her lips at the look of contempt on her face.Her jaw was tensed and her face was contorted in a frown, "you really think you would work here?" Sophia scoffed and turned to Alexander. "Did you just say she can start working, Alex? This lady here just walked in on us. She didn't bother to knock and you think she should work with you?" She queried as her blood boiled."Yes." It was Alexander's reply and immediately, his gaze was casted to the set of files on his t
Rosalie scoffed as the blaring sound of music filled her ears. Her nose scrunched up when the smell of cigarette and alcohol found their way into her nose. It dissolved and caused an irritated feeling in her chest."Ohh, looks like my baby doesn't like it that much in here" Aria, Rosalie's best friend chuckled and the frown on Rosalie's face deepened into a scowl.Aria was here giggling around loving everything about the bar but she hated it. Goodness, she shouldn't have agreed to come with Aria.But what could she have done?Aria was excited she got a job in spelldrink Mac's and she had agreed to go out with her if she got the job. Aria chose the bar which left her with no other choice than to come here with her."Hi, Ed" Aria waved at someone and Rosalie wondered how she was able to see despite the blue lights that kept flashing into her eyes causing her pupils to contract and dilate at intervals."Goodness, I don't like it here Aria" Rosalie complained with a light frown but it see
Rosalie's heart thumped frantically when her eyes took in Sophia's glare. She moved a step backwards and swallowed nothing. First, she walked in on them in the morning.And now, she was in his arms and Sophia saw them together. She bit hard on her lower lip before she whipped her head to Alexander who had a plain look on."You're here Sophia, you took longer than expected to get here" Alexander maintained a gaze with Sophia. "Let's get things done."Get things done? Rosalie's insides twitched at that? What do they have together? Wait—she saw them in an intimate position in the morning.Of course, they were probably dating. Her heart sank at the thought but it was jolted back to life by the high pitched hiss."Let's get things done?" Sophia scoffed and took a step towards Alexander. "You were supposed to come pick me up but you declined and I met you here, with her in your arms. Her—" she took a pause and pointed at Rosalie.She couldn't believe it. If she hadn't tracked his spot, she
