Rosalind

"Rosalind...it's too late."

I let out the breath that I didn't even know I was holding when he uttered those words. 

Late? It's too late? What does he mean by that?

"What do you mean, dad?" I asked. 

He looked down at his table and once again removed his reading glasses. He placed his hands on the table and looked me deep in the eyes. "Don't you think it's too late that you're telling me all of this?"

"I'm still not following what you're saying, dad."

"The coronation is already tomorrow, Rosalind. All of the preparations have been finished, and Desdemona worked really hard for this."

My eyebrows furrowed. "Are you saying that the coronation is going to push through? Just because Desdemona worked really hard on it?"

"We don't have any other choice, Rosalind. Like I told you, the preparations have already been done. The people are expecting a new queen, and we cannot keep them waiting."

I scoffed

    The day that I dreaded the most finally came.I have been praying in my mind for the last couple of hours for this day to never come. However, life wasn’t like that. Time wasn't going to adjust for one person. And it definitely wouldn't adjust just for me. Time progressed normally, and it was now two hours until the coronation ceremony.I honestly didn’t want to get up from bed and witness what is about to happen, but Axel has been convincing me nonstop that we should go.“Rosalind. We have to be there.”I groaned and covered myself with the duvet.He went closer to me and uncovered my face. He knelt down to the level of the bed and started stroking my hair.“Get up, baby. We have to be at the event hall in an hour and a half.”I turned away from him. “Do we really have to go? It’s not like we have a role in the coronation or something. We’re literally just

    The ceremony was about to start, but I still didn't get the chance to talk to my father. I already looked for him everywhere but I didn't see a trace of him. It's like he disappeared into thin air.I was fidgeting in my spot while Axel tried his very best to comfort me.“Calm down, baby,” he whispered into my ear. Butterflies erupted in my stomach as I heard him call me 'baby,' but they were quickly replaced with nervousness as I realized that I still wasn't able to talk to my dad.I wandered my eyes around to once again find my dad, but to no avail.“Where is he?” I was about to start biting on my nails, but Axel gently held my hand and brought it down.“The ceremony hasn’t started yet. I’m sure that he’ll be here just before it starts.”Just then, the Masters of Ceremony started speaking into the mic, signaling the near start of the coronation.

    RosalindBodies.Bodies sprawled out on the ground.Blood.Blood spattered everywhere.I had expected this—for chaos to break out, but it still did not take away the shock that I felt when I saw my father drop to the ground.I turned to Axel with a proud smile on his face. I saw that he was already looking at me with a wide smile.So this was the plan, huh?I smirked in delight as the blood splattered on my legs—Logan’s blood.My father tried getting up from the ground, but Sebastian held him still. The reason why the two of them fell to the ground was that when the gunshots sounded, Sebastian ran to where my father was and pushed him down to the ground.“Fuck!” Logan screamed as his blood flowed out of the wound.Venice shrieked as she saw Logan bleeding on the ground. He was shot in his shoulder and appeared to be in pain. Desdemona, on the other

    Rosalind I fell down on the ground, face first. I felt a heavyweight on top of me, making me groan in pain. Blood started seeping into my clothes as the weight pressed down on my body. I scrambled to get away from it, using my arms to escape the suffocating weight. Axel held out his hand for me, so I took it, and he helped me stand up. I looked down at my black dress and saw a suspicious liquid running through it. I touched it with my fingers and confirmed that it is indeed blood. Just a few moments ago, when Desdemona fired the gun straight at my head, only a click was heard—signifying that it had already run out of bullets. She has been firing her bullets left to right without any inhibitions all throughout the event, so it ran out before she could even kill me. However, to my surprise, when she tried to load the gun once again, a gunshot was heard all around the

    Rosalind"Dad?"He smiled, although it didn't reach his eyes."Hey, Rosalind!" he greeted in an awkward manner."What are you doing here, dad?" I asked in a much gentler voice than usual since I didn't want to scare him away."Can we talk?""Who is it, Rosalind?" I heard Axel's voice coming near us. "If it's Sebastian, then just tell him to go away so we can continue what we were doing—"Axel paused when he saw who was standing in front of the door.I glared at him and clicked my tongue.He smiled sheepishly while scratching the back of his neck.I kept my glare on him. I'm definitely going to scold him later.I held the door wider and gestured for my dad to come in."Come in, dad. Let's talk."Axel moved away from the door so that my father could comfortably come in."Thanks," my dad muttered under his breath as he went inside my room.&nb

    Rosalind Today was the day of the coronation. It felt like I had been waiting for this moment for my entire life, but I was still feeling more nervous than ever. Axel and I had already finished dressing up, and we were just waiting for the bells to ring before coming down. I shook my hands to get rid of the nervousness that I was feeling. Axel chuckled, looking at me while he was leisurely sitting down on the bed. I looked at him incredulously. "Aren't you the tiniest bit nervous?" He chuckled once again and shook his head. "Today's a happy day, baby. What's there to be nervous about?" I clicked my tongue. "I really do wish that I have your courage." He stood up from the bed and walked over to where I was. He wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his chin against my shoulder. "Don't worry, baby. We balance each other well." I giggled and caressed his hair. "You

    A compilation of Axel's mini-panics whenever Rosalind is around. Chapter 24-25: The Bloom Festival Axel We were now seated inside the venue, just waiting for the flower to bloom. The place was jampacked, but we were lucky enough to meet Mr. Lee, who gave us a pretty exclusive spot. We also had a great view of the flower from where we were sitting. Rosalind was sitting beside me, and after having a short conversation about lives, she suddenly became quiet. I glanced towards her and saw her biting her lip and bouncing her leg as if nervous about something. Unknowingly, I started to smile while looking at her. When I realized what I was doing, I swiftly looked away from her and scratched the back of my head. Fuck. What the hell is this that I've been feeling? To be honest, I've been feeling like this for the last couple of days. For some reason, Rosalind just seemed

Third Person's Point of View As Rosalind entered the bathroom, steam paired with the sound of the rushing water engulfed the air. She felt a flutter of nerves as she realized that it was only a thin shower curtain that separated her from her mate. Actually, no. It was not nerves. She wasn't nervous because she, herself, had been waiting for this moment. It has been too long since they've been intimate with each other, and she misses the touch of her mate like no other. Rather than nerves, it was probably excitement? Anticipation? Or maybe even longing? Whatever it was, it made her heart beat out of her chest, almost being louder than the sound of the water rushing. For so

    It has been exactly eight months since Axel and Cupid called each other to share that their respective wives were pregnant, and it has also been eight months since they’ve been seeing each other every month. Axel sighed as he packed his bags once again.“Are you ready, love?” Rosalind called out from the bathroom.Axel smiled and tried to sound cheery. “Yes, love. I’ll just load the bags in the car.”“Alright, I’ll come down after peeing,” she called out.“Stay here while I load our things, love. I’ll go back here to come and fetch you.”Rosalind flushed the toilet and moved out of the bathroom. “Wait, let’s just go together,” she walked toward her husband. She held onto her back as she walked since her stomach had gotten so big that her back failed to support her by itself anymore.Axel clicked his tongue and shook his head when he saw her struggling to walk. He placed their bags down on the ground and walked over to where she was. One hand held onto her back while the other held on

    Axel excitedly dialed Cupid's number, ready to tell him about the unexpected news. As much as the two of them try to deny it, they both know, deep inside their hearts, that they treat each other as very good friends. "Yo," Axel said into the phone. "I have something to tell you." "Axel!" Cupid greeted in an equally jolly voice. "I was just about to call you too. I also have some great news." Axel became a little suspicious when he heard that Cupid, too, had some good news, but nothing could really take away from his happiness after the news that he had just heard. "You go first, then," Axel presented since he is in a good mood. "Nah, man. You go first. You're the one who called me first. Go ahead," Cupid responded. "No, you." "No, you go first." "No, YOU go first." "No, you're the one who should go first." They endlessly said to each other. In the end, Axel sighed in frustration. "Let's just say it at the same time, alright. Then we'll explain it individually afterward." "Fi

    "Did you get it?" Rain excitedly said as she went out of her office. Liam looked up from his laptop and focused his attention on Rain. "Get what?" Rain sighed in frustration. "The invitation!" "What invitation?" he asked, confused. Rain walked closer to him and went behind his back. "I told you to check your personal email more often. Come on, open up your account." Liam quickly opened up his personal email account and clicked on the latest message. He read the contents of the email. "A high school reunion?" "Yeah," Rain nodded her head. "Let's go together." Liam smiled. In the course that they have been dating, he could feel that Rain had changed for the better. She had gained so much confidence over the past few months, and Liam feels proud knowing that she had grown to love and appreciate herself even more. "Yeah, let's go together. I also miss some of my high school friends." Rain smiled. "That's settled, then. Let's also buy our outfits together." *** Rain and Liam t

    "This is it," Cupid removed his hands from Gillian's eyes, revealing a spacious yet cozy-looking infrastructure filled with antique designs. "Our new bakery." Gillian looked at the infrastructure in awe, and suddenly got teary-eyed when she realized that they were going to be having a new chapter in their life. Cupid chuckled as he observed his wife's teary eyes. "Why are you crying? This is supposed to be a happy event, love." Gillian wiped her tears with her sleeves and tried her hardest not to cry. "I know, love. I'm just so proud of the two of us." Ever since Gillian and Cupid had been married, they started thinking more about their future. They both knew that Cupid's investments would be more than enough to provide for their everyday needs, but they still would want to have a steady, stable income where the two of them can work together. And as someone who enjoys cooking and baking quite a lot, Cupid suggested that they open a cafe near Briana's restaurant. He thought that

    No matter how many times Axel wakes up to Rosalind in the morning, he still can’t get over how beautiful his wife is. He smiled and leaned closer to her face, tracing her features from her eyes down to her lips.“Axel, stop that,” Rosalind swatted his hand away and scooted farther away from him.“Love, stay here,” Axel whined and pulled her closer, peppering kisses all over her neck.“I’m tired, Axel,” she grumbled and closed her eyes to get more sleep.“Why, my love? Didn’t you get enough sleep yesterday?”Rosalind clicked her tongue and glared at Axel. “Of course, I’m tired! You fucking ruined me yesterday.”Axel smiled with pride. “But you liked it, right?”Rosalind rolled her eyes and turned away from Axel, trying to hide her reddening cheeks. "Whatever. I'm going to sleep."Axel chuckled and placed a chaste kiss on top of her shoulder. "Rest well, my love. I'll be cooking some breakfast.""Mmh," Rosalind hummed, willing herself to sleep once again.

    Olivia and Dallas gazed back and forth between Liam who was on stage and Rain who was sitting right next to them. Olivia couldn't help but let out a small chuckle when she saw Rain's flushed face as other people also started teasing her. "How the fuck did he know what I was going to wear?" she asked. Dallas shook his head. "I went with him. He definitely didn't know. He just grabbed the first sweater he saw at Target. Must be destiny or something." Rain knew that Dallas was joking when he told her about destiny, but she couldn't help but blush at the thought that they might really be destined for each other. Liam, who saw Rain from a distance, was also shocked to see that they were wearing the same sweaters. He smiled to himself as he watched Rain getting teased by her other co-workers. 'I knew that going to Target would be a good idea,' he thought in his mind. "Good evening, everyone!" Liam finally said into the mic. The crowd cheered and clapped their hands, ready to star

    When Liam told Rain that he would show her how he truly feels, she thought that he was just joking. There was no way that the guy she has been liking for the past seven years would suddenly show interest in her and make the effort to prove it.However, much to her surprise, he wasn’t lying. Ever since that day, she would always see her favorite coffee on top of her desk. On the weekends, flowers would suddenly show up on her doorstep. And during the end of her shift, Liam would always be waiting for her to take her home.She arrived in the office and saw yet another coffee, accompanied by two blueberry muffins, on top of her desk.“Damn, girl. I’m jealous of this admirer of yours. You’ve been receiving free breakfast for the past week!” Olivia saidRain chuckled and handed Olivia one of the blueberry muffins before taking a sip from her coffee. Olivia smiled in delight before taking the blueberry muffin from Rain's hands. "Do you already know who this admirer is?" she asked. Rain st

    “I like you, alright?” Rain bursted out.“I’ve liked you for so damn long that it’s killing me inside! I know that you don’t see me that way, and I also know that you have something going on with Claire, that’s why I hate myself for even thinking about you—for thinking we could be together. So, stop doing this—whatever this is that you’re doing. To you, this might only be an act of friendship, but to me who has liked you from the beginning, I am starting to misinterpret your actions. It’s so fucking difficult for me to act platonically with you if you keep doing these things. So, please. Stop. I’ll also stop bothering you from now on.”Liam intently listened to every word that Rain said. He never expected this, to be honest. To him, Rain was like an honest friend that always had his back. She would always be there to comfort him whenever he felt down, and even when he had problems with Claire, she’d always be there to listen. Looking back on it, Rain must have suffered a lot because o

    Liam felt giddy as he parked his car in the parking lot. Even if he didn’t get much sleep last night, he still somehow feels energetic. It’s like there’s something, or rather, someone he’s looking forward to seeing to in the office. Rain, on the other hand, had a full night of sleep but she still felt like she didn’t get enough rest. She placed her things down on the table and sat down on her chair with a deep sigh. Olivia saw this, so she walked towards her and placed her hand on her shoulder. “Hey, you alright?”“Mmh?” Rain looked up at Olivia and smiled. “I’m great, Liv.”Even if Rain smiled, it somehow didn’t feel genuine. “Did everything go well yesterday?” Olivia asked, wondering if something bad happened during the dinner, causing her to act like this.Everything went well. Too well, if you ask Rain. Liam and her had the best conversation they ever had, but it only reminded her that their relationship stops at that.
