There are a number of questions I need to find answers to, so I had to call the one person I can rely on to tell me the truth, Ebenezer, my late husband's bestfriend. " You sent for me Luna" He says as he takes a sip from his cup of tea" Please call me Sarah. We are practically friends" I say casually. " Ebenezer, I would like to know something about our surrogate, Vera. How many children did she give birth to?" I ask simply " Why would you bring that up now?" He ask nonplussed " Please just answer Ebenezer. I have my reasons" I beseech him, sincerely I pray that Vixen is not Darrick's twin, or else how am I going to explain to the world that my two children have been screwing themselves to the point where they had children together. " She bored one" He confesses

HELEN POV" Why don't you go back to your favorite son, Darrick. The one you actually wanted" He yells in a fit of rage, his eyes emanating with gross hatred. I should have known, this was what has been bothering him all this time. He always acted so confident like nothing affects him but at last everyone needs their parents. To think he has been harboring this deep hatred against Darrick his younger brother, it's no wonder he refused to go pay him a visit when he lost his twin babies. " Roman, son. Don't say that. I wanted the both of you" I confess sincerely. Although I never loved his father, I was thrilled to discover that I was going to be a mom. " Really now. You say one thing and do the other. If you wanted me so much, why did you abandon me back then?" He questions, searching my face for answers. This was the question I was most afraid of, cause there's no excuse to justify my actions all those years ago. " I didn't mean to leave. I was just scared for my life. Your fathe

VIXEN / ROSE POV" It's a trap"Those aren't the words I was expecting to say by this timeI always assumed that today we would be sharing a drink to celebrate our success together.Turns out I expected too much.I should have known something like this was going to happen.I am the nature unlucky one.Nothing good ever happens to me.Just when things were finally getting good.Just when Roman was finally noticing me.Who am I kidding?.He wasn't feeling me.Bet he was just making jest of me.To think he will go as far as body shaming me.Anyway, enough of that.The situation here is critical and shouldn't be taken lightly.Earlier, I had angrily opted to stay outside since I was offended with Roman.Turns out that was the best decision I ever made, cause a few minutes into the delivery, a black van drives in.From a glance I could tell this was trouble, so I hid, and how right I was.I watch as 10 heavily armed men alight the van.At first I attributed my suspicions to mare paranoia.

I thought I lost you" He informs, hugging her tightly.It only takes the sound of a gun shot to jug my sanity back.I pull away from her, looking behind only to see an arm man with a gun shot wound to the forehead fall to the ground.The gun is still in her hand as she looks upon it with terror, and tears in her eyes.I recall her saying in the car, when I imposed the gun on her, that she would never use it. Cause she wasn't a murderer.It then hits me, Rose just committed her first murder to save my life.#################So here we are 10minutes down the side way and Ro

The roads are blocked," she insists.Rage boils within me.I slam my fist against the wall."Impossible?" I shout.My phone cracks.In my hand, shatteringJust like my hope.I stare at ClaireDesperation claws at me.What do I do?Who can I turn to?And then.Rose.She is standing in my doorway.Waiting.She has been a mother before, surely she would know a thing or two about sick children.I rush to her."Rose," I call outMy voice cracking.I'm at
ROSE POVI burst into the office, fury boiling over. Roman's words echo in my mind, each one a dagger to my heart."You're just cheap. Easy. Anyone can have you."I slam the door, trying to shut out the pain. But it follows me, haunting me.How dare him, question my morality.Me..... Vixen......I have never been insulted like this.I feel like strangling him.I grab my phone and dial Brenda's number. She answers on the first ring."Rose, what's wrong?" she asks, concern lacing her voice."Roman," I spit, his name tasting bitter."What did he do now?" Brenda asks with a sigh, her tone turning icy." Can you be he called me......." I recount our confrontation, every detail pouring out. Brenda listens, seething."That bastard," she mutters in anger"I know, right?. I hate him so much" I fume, pacing around the office."How can he be so cruel, despite what he did?" Brenda ask nonplussed"I don't know. But I'm done. Finished," I declare, determination rising."I'm so proud of you, Rose,

Landon repeats."The tramp is already sleeping with Kane," I snarl.Landon pauses."Roman, slow down. What's going on?" he asks.I take a deep breath."Saw them together. Laughing. Smiling. It's like she didn't even care," I confess, infuriated.Landon's silence confuses me."Landon?" I prompt."Roman, I don't get it," he says."Get what?" I ask confused"Why you're so jealous. You slept with her, blackmailed her, and now you're mad she's moved on?" Landon asks with the most unimpressed tone ever.I grip the steering wheel."I didn't expect her to move on so quickly," I admit.Two weeks!!!That's way too short, it is like I never meant anything to her.I know I was just part of her job but it still hurts.Landon sighs."Roman, you're confusing me. You've never been posses

ROSE POVWe dance the night away, laughter and music numbing my pain. " This was an amazing idea" I yell unable to hear my own voice " I am so happy"" I am the best, ain't I?" She teases and we both burst into laughter" Best.... Friend even......" I yell with excitement.Brenda spins me around, and I stumble, giggling.That's when I see him.Kane.We exchanged sparks once.He asked me out, but I never responded.I stupidly choose Roman instead.Regret floods me.Kane's eyes lock onto mine."Rose!" he exclaims, weaving through the crowd.I try ignoring him but he gaze is fixed on me so I kick against that.His warm smile falters for a moment as he takes in my hesitant expression."Hey, Kane," I say, trying to sound casual.Honestly, this isn't comfortable at all.I am so ashamed.Full of regret.I wish I choice him instead." Excuse me y'all" Brenda discreetly excuses herself, leaving us alone, despite my desperate signals pleading for her to stay.Kane hugs me.Long and tight.But
ROSE POVI stand frozen, my eyes locked on Roman'." Could you excuse us babe" He ask with a smile, not bothering to spare her a glance." Sure babe, call me when you are done" Crystal says as she sassily walk out of the office, with a triumphant smile on her face." What do you want?" He questions nonchalantly with a bored expression." I wanted to talk about us" I confess, my voice shaking as I try to compose myself but fail miserably." Not interested" He says turning away from me."Roman, please..." I whisper, my voice trembling.He turns to me, his expression unreadable"Please what, Rose?" he asks.I fall to my knees"Forgive me," I begTears stream down my face."For what?" Roman's voice is laced with disdain."For walking in on you. For being angry. For not taking your feeling into consideration. I don't know what I did for your to fall out of love with me like this, but please forgive me. I can't live without you " I stammer.Honestly, I have gotten so used to being someone h
ROSE POVI slowly open my eyes, wincing at the piercing light that escapes Roman's black curtains.My head throbbing.My entire body hurts, why does he have to use his teeth so much.My neck aches, and my core feels tender, it hurts.Memories of last night flood my mind.Guess we over did itRoman, and I..........We were unstoppable.' I can't believe I am in love again'_ I think to myself as my check burns with excitement.I try to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washes over me." Ahh...." I cry supporting my head from the immense pain."Good morning my goddess" Roman says, his voice low and husky.He's sitting beside me in his boxers and a singlet, holding a steaming cup of coffee." Good morning" I reply trying to stretch." Coffee for my queen" He offers with a cute smile.How thoughtful of him.I guess I misjudged him all this time."Thank you," I murmur, taking the cup.Our fingers touch, and I feel a spark."Feeling okay?" Roman asks, his eyes crinkling.I nod, taking a sip.T
Trigger warning ROSE POVIt was now 12am.I and Roman just walked into his luxurious suite on wombly legs.I can't believe I let myself get this tipsy.

The room spun slightly, and my inhibition slipping.Roman's arm brushes mine as he tries to support me do I can stand on my own, sending shivers down my spine. I try to hiding feelings for him, but being this close makes my heart race. His piercing hazel eyes seems to see right through me."Rose, you're shivering," he says, his deep voice low and husky.
