The world around me spun and everything around me stopped. My eyes widened in horror and I took a step back.

I shook my head, unable to believe. He's my father? No. Of course not. I didn't have a father and that was it.

But then it dawned on me. The stare he gave at Xander's office! Mum is calling him now! The stares! It wasn't a joke!

"He is your father Rosie, I'm so sorry," mum put her palm over lips with her eyes focused on that man.

I turned to him with quivering lips. He was my father? My father was still alive? He was in New York? I took steps back and a tear slid off my face

He had been alive for 22 years? My father was still alive!

"Dad," my lips quivered, coupling my widened eyes that were beginning to ache and I took a step towards him, "dad," I muttered out as I headed to him.

"Dad," I rushed to him ready to envelope him in a hug when that voice I didn't think of spoke," don't you dare."

My eyes dropped and I stopped in my steps. Sophia. How did I forget? Sophia was his dau

    Rosalie's lids fluttered open and her hands moved on the bed she was in. Once again, she was back to a life filled with excruciating pain."Rosie," Alexander reached out for her at once and Rosalie sniffed when she sighted him.Memories flashed in her eyes, telling her the need to be away. That woman was her half sister. She wanted the same man her sister wanted. She couldn't take that.She sniffed and bit on her lips, "I want to be away from all of you," her voice was barely audible but of course, Alexander fathomed her words."Me too?" He questioned as he gazed at her."You first," Rosalie answered and his jaw dropped.His head fell into his palms and he sniffed. When she ran, it hurt him. He had to run after her. He was scared all while she was asleep. Fear filled his heart that she wouldn't be fine.When she collided with the floor, his heart jumped to his mouth. He knew everything was weighing her down. He understood what it was and he was sorry for everything.How everything unf

    "I love you!" He screamed once more and a sob escaped her lips. "I love you Rosie…from that day—" Alexander took a step and ran his hands through his hair."From that day I fired you Rosie. You were so clumsy—" he sniffed and chuckled. "You were so anxious and I had to fire you but that same day; that I saw you in the bar drunk and kissed you" he exhaled and laughed."I fell in love with you" he confessed as Rosalie stared dumb stricken. "You never said it. You never showed it. Instead you… hurt me. If you loved me then, why were you cold to me Xander? Why did you push me away? You were so warm to me, then it all changed. You began to switch. Why!""Because Rosie—" he licked his lips and tugged on his hair. "I was trying to protect you!'"How? How were you trying to protect me," Rosalie sniffed and ruffled her hair. "Everytime you protected me, I got into danger. You were just hurting me Xander!""I wasn't," Alexander licked his lips and exhaled, "I didn't mean to hurt you, Rosie. I'

    Sophia's POVMy grip around the glass cup tightened as my jaw clenched. "Goddamn it!" I yelled and hurled the glass against the wall. "Goddamn it!" I squeaked once more as my insides tightened in anger. I squinted my eyes and my fist curled into a ball, with my nails digging into my skin.I only wished I could throw that woman a fist.I hated her. I detested that woman! Right from the first day, I knew she was trouble for me. I was supposed to send her away. Why didn't I put in more effort?I regret it! I do! I bashed the wall and blood oozed out from my hand. I was this way because of her.And I was going to kill her although I tried once. My next trial, she would be gone! I'll show no Mercy. That'd be her last day on the earth."Oh you're in here," a voice jolted me out of my thoughts and I raised my head to see Collins. "Getting worked up?" He questioned and I scoffed."Don't make fun of me.""I wonder why you so much want Alex," he chuckled and crossed his legs as he sat, "what's

    Rosalie scoffed repeatedly and her tears ran down as she scattered her wardrobe. In anger, she grabbed the attires in the wardrobe and shoved them down.Everything that was hers, she picked from the wardrobe. She was tired! She had to leave.She grabbed all of her dresses and shuffled them into the box. He loved her from then and didn't show it.She hated him for it; she detested him. She sniffed and wiped her tears as she tried to ignore the pain she was in.While she ran from him, she had to re-cloth her wound. She had bled but she cleaned it. She stared down at her bandaged leg and exhaled. She could see the red dots below her calf.Her leg was hurting but she needed to leave that house before he came searching for her. She sniffed, licked her lips and arranged everything.Almost immediately, the door was pushed open, "Rosalie," the voice called and she stopped.She batted her lashes and took a deep breath, "Get out, I don't want to see you.""Rosalie," "I don't want to see you!"

    Alexander stared frozen at the content. With wide eyes, he read the headline."The famous CEO of spelldrink Mac's was involved in cocaine exporting."His lips fell open at once, sweat dripped off his forehead. It hit him repeatedly. With dampened hands, he clicked on the video underneath.As he watched, more sweat popped out his head. He blink rapidly and at once, resorted to a growl.That motherfucker!It was his payback? Collins was playing with him."Goddamn it!" He yelled and his palm met with the car nearby. Sweat evoked from his head at the comments.He was a reputable man. What did Collins do? That motherfucker has the effrontery!"Is it Rosalie?" Pamela asked and he exhaled. He licked his lips and blinked to mask his worry, "no," he answered."You all don't worry, Rosalie will be fine," he spoke and trotted to Aria who was confused about everything. "Take care of her. I'll try to get in touch with Rosalie," with that, he walked away from them to his car.He jumped into his car

    Rosalie sniffed and laid on the bed in the hotel she was in. Her heart ached and her cries muffled into the pillow.It was devastating. Sophia didn't have to be that man's daughter. It was degrading that she would fight her half-sister for a man. She couldn't bring herself to do it.Her tears fell and she sniffed repeatedly. It had only been more than half a day and she missed him already. She shut off all her internet connection so nobody could get through to her on social media after their repeated calls. She was tired and they had to let her be.She gripped herself firmly as tears ran down her face effortlessly. She missed Xander. She missed him. She wanted to pick the call, yell at him and tell him what was wrong but she couldn't.All she wanted was to be away from him yet to be close to him. She licked her lips and inhaled.It was because of him that her half-sister hated her. Could they really fight over a man?Alexander had some battles he was fighting. Was it good to leave him

    "Mr. Alex?" Raphael called and Rosalie moved away from Alexander. She bit the insides of her cheeks and batted her lashes as she tried to hide her shyness.Well, someone just caught her kissing him in the jail."Yes?" Alexander walked towards the iron bars and at once, the earlier officer approached them. Rosalie blinked rapidly. She shook her head and held on to Alexander."He… don't let him take me," she clutched tightly to him and Alexander sighed. He grabbed her face and held her close, "don't worry, I'll get out of here.""Okay," Rosalie whispered as the officer reached them. "You have to leave ma'am," the officer deadpanned and her lids became teary.She sniffed and bit the insides of her cheeks. Only heaven knows why she was getting emotional. Because she couldn't leave her husband."Rosie," Alexander pulled her to him and wiped the tear that cascaded her cheeks, "I'll be out soon, promise?""Okay," Rosalie whispered as she was finally forced out. She held the iron bars tightly

    Rosalie's POVI sat unblinking as I registered the news. I was with Xander's baby? I was pregnant! I sniffed and bit my lips.What was I going to do? I had never been pregnant. Was it even right to be? Of course not, in this situation, it was wrong. A tear fell down my cheeks and I took my hands to my tummy.A life was in me? How will Xander feel? Will he be delighted? Does he even want a baby? I sniffed as I wiped my tears. Was it the reason for my blurry visions? Heavens!"Have this," Mum dropped a plate beside me and uncovered it. At once, my insides churn and I salivated. I've been hungry for days!"Thank you," I whispered and dug into it at once. At that moment, all their gazes were on me."I'm glad you're okay," Aria muttered as I ate. "Why will you even go off?""I was so scared," mum chipped in. "I was scared for my daughter. I promise I'm sorry," mum cried as I chewed. "I hate that it's because of me you're in such an emotionally devastating condition. I'm sorry,""It's okay,

    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

    "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

    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

    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

    Alexander's POV"Rosie…" I called as I took a step while she glared at me with eyes full of pain."Really? You want to live in my memories and not stay with me huh?" She shook her head before moving towards me and at once her fist made contact with my chest."Really huh? Really? It's better to leave me huh? That's it? You don't care if I live in pain huh?" She continued, her fist driving into my chest repeatedly as her tears ran down before while I remained glued to my spot.I didn't deserve her. Not once have I ever deserved her."Rosie, stop it," her mum rushed towards her and grabbed her arm and I finally got out of my thoughts when the punching stopped."It's okay," I let out and sighed, "let her hit me. I deserve it.""Thank god you know!" Rosie screamed before sending a final punch to my chest and then her tears dropped. "You're such an idiot, Xander.""You know everything except how to console a woman," she sniffed and leaned into me, "how can you want to leave huh?" Her voice t

    "He won't even pick up? Wow, wow," I chuckled and fought back my tears as I tried Xander's number once more.He wants to leave the city and me… wow. I shook my head as I reminisced on his words. We're in the hospital since I was brought there right after my attack."He wants to leave," I sobbed once more."I told you!" Aria screamed and hit the wall, "he wasn't worth it! You lost your father and all he could think of is to leave! Goddamn it! I hate him more!""Xander," I sniffed as I dialed the number again, "he's not picking up.""He won't," mum cut in and sniffed, "I… made him go away.""What do you mean?""I gave an outburst right after Raymond died. He's the cause of everything and I just wanted him away. I… I made him promise to leave you alone after all the chaos he caused.""What?" I gripped my chest as I fought back my tears, "how's he at fault?""Sophia came after you because of him! You were hit because of him! You were almost killed. Got shot! It was because of him that you

    White ceiling coatings that my eyes were almost used to. The blank point where I try to recognise the ceiling was gone now because I understood it.With the pain hammering in my chest and the sniffles plus the deep scent that hit my nostrils, I needed no soothsayer to tell me I was in the hospital.My hands shook at that moment and then the memories came rushing like a wind into my head."Rosie,"The familiar feminine voice called and I whipped my head to the voice at once, "mum.""Rosie," mum called panickedly before her hands tightened around me and I let out a whimper, "I'm sorry," mum sniffed, "are you okay, are you okay?""Are you okay?" A tear dropped down her eyelids as she watched me, "should I call the doctor huh?""I… I," I gulped as I glanced around, "water. I need… water.""Here," I heard the friendly feminine voice and at once the glass cup met my lips and I gulped down water while I stared at Aria. She had a warm smile on her face while she watched me."I'm so glad you'r

    "Take one step and I pull the trigger here," Sophia warned, her voice laced with anger. "You think I brought you here to see him? No. I just want him to see you drop dead. I want to show him what he gets for choosing someone else over me.""Sophia, you are crossing the line," Xander gritted, his fist clenching and his eyes pinned on me in fear, concern and the one that warmed my heart, in love."Rosie, stay still. You are not dying," he assured me and I heard his voice tremble at the end. Something my Xander doesn't do.Fear. He was in fear too."How could you?" Sophia started, her voice distant and barely audible, "choose this thing over me,""She's just s fucking poor girl. I am way better!""I don't love you!" Xander yelled and took a step and at once, Sophia raised the gun and fired into the air, "take one step and the next bullet goes into her head," she glanced at her wristwatch and exhaled."Remember I am always vulnerable with you Xander.

    Headache. Blurry vision. It was what welcomed me as my eyes fluttered open and at once I gasped.Where was I huh? I… I was with Raphael and suddenly… My throat went dry with the realization. I've been kidnapped. At once, I let out a scream and almost immediately, a hand drove onto my face, hard."Don't you scream bitch!"The familiar voice. Sophia. I panted as my eyes darted around and I realized we were in a car and were still in the airport. The glasses of the car were tinted and… they couldn't see meTurning to Sophia, hee face held a lazy look and she had her eyes shut while I accessed her. How'd she come to the airport? How'd she know I was leaving? Does she know Xander is here?And where was Collins? Did he assist her?Heavens. There was no answer. My eyes moved around the car as urgency seeped in my bones. Raphael told me we had only minutes left and it was a private jet. We should have left.We should have if not for this maniac woman."Why did you kidnap me? Why the hell am I
