Three Months Later, “You are three weeks pregnant Ms Foyer.” Rose looked at the gynecologist with widened eyes. She always had the suspicion that she was. For the past few days she had been nauseating at the smell of eggs and Alfredo. The goey foods always made her want to always throw up. A smile came to radiate on her face before she got her hands down to her belly after the doctor came to wipe off the gel from her belly. Rose couldn't believe she had another being growing inside of her. Her cheeks crept bright red recalling how Stephano said he always wanted kids with her. He always made sure to drown her womb with his cum everytime they made love. He didn't care regardless of the place or time. Whenever he would want her, he would have her. The doctor shared a bright smile with her. She also understood sign language as she had a deaf little boy as a patient. Rose was beaming from ear to ear and she couldn't contain her happiness. She couldn't wait to return back to the beach hou
Rose was still baffled and struggling to grasp with the news. It made her feel nauseous while she felt Stephano coming to hold her shoulders. She looked at him immediately and saw his gaze soft and concerned.“There's no need for you to worry at all about any of this. I'll take care of everything.” He tried assuring her but even Rose could tell he was finding it hard just to control what he was feeling. She knew Stephano loved and idolized his grandfather more than anybody. They were very close that much she knew.“Am afraid we have to return back home.” He looked at her holding an impassive expression on his face. He didn't want their vacation time to end so abruptly but this matter needed a lot of concern. He knew his grandfather's death wasn't any accident like the doctors had said. They found him dead in his home back then. It was strange that the maids in his house knew nothing nor saw anything. He had that gut feeling and he couldn't help but blame himself for it. If only he ha
“Please excuse me. I'll just head to the washroom.” Azazel suddenly muttered before he pushed his seat back and stood up. Everyone looked at him as he strolled away out of the dining room.Rose watched him leave with his face holding a grim expression. She couldn't blame him for reacting like that. She felt guilty once again before she moved her eyes down to her plate. She didn't even want to look into the eyes of everyone at the dining table. She wondered the thoughts and names they were all cursing her with.It had been only a couple months since her and Azazel's divorce was legalized and now she had returned back with her ex husband's brother's baby in her womb. She wondered why Stephano had to act this way. She felt embarrassed even more and felt Stephano's hand tightly squeezing her arm to look at him.Stephano's eyes had the widest glint in them. He was happy and excited to share the news with everyone. His face slowly scrunched in a questionable gaze on her. He would have expec
Rose got down to the kitchen and stood in front of the refrigerator. She opened it only to find the entire fridge packed and stocked with groceries and foods. Her stomach sounded good when her eyes settled on the ingredients and foods in the fridge. She wondered if Stephano had told somebody to stock his apartment.She got out the bread and made some quick sandwiches for herself. She made three for herself and was still contemplating whether to make some for Stephano. No doubt she was still upset with him for what he did at his parents' house but she couldn't starve him. Only recalling how he had driven the car all the way from the beach house down here made her decide to make sandwich for him as well.She was getting the fresh lettuce on the bread when she felt large pair of arms coming to snake around her belly. She instantly went stiff as a board but slowly relaxed when his scent came to her nose. She also sensed tension in his body and she couldn't help but look at him from the co
Stephano constantly crashed his foot against the accelerator almost making it loose it's functionality. He had broken three traffic rules on his way back to his apartment building. He was anxious and confused. His pulse was very high and he felt his body shivering.He tightly held onto the steering wheel while gritting and cursing. He tried to stay calm but even his mind was fighting against it. The truth was he didn't know if Rose was still alive. Not knowing what was happening was killing him. He had dialled Judith's cellphone number for the ninth time now but was found switched off. His insides were burning him knowing he could be too late in saving her.He didn't know who this enemy was but one thing he knew was that he wasn't stupid and he kept on blaming himself for not seeing things this clearly. The fact that the enemy got to know about Rose's pregnancy got him all the more agitated and anxious. He wondered how he got to know about it. He had only told his family last night an
As the city's lights blurred past the window in his car Stephano thought of her. The inner turmoil in his heart was weighing heavily on him. He didn't know how he could move on. Every second her face was etched in his mind and soul. His body craved for her presence every damn second of the day.It had only been three days since her death so it was still a fresh bruise on his heart. But unlike any other bruise he knew his heart won't heal for as long as he lived. He could never find happiness anymore and was merely pushing through life with one goal in his mind. One that he planned to pursue until he took his last breaths.He took a sharp turn and paused getting his feet onto the brakes. The car had halted in front of a flower shop. The display of flowers outside the shop were mostly roses. It was also Rose's favourite flowers. He couldn't help but think that Rose would have liked to have seen her room filled with her favourite flowers. Something she could sniff in and have that wide b
“Who the fuck is Joel? Can someone explain this to me!” Stephano looked from his dad to his mom hoping one of them could answer. He still couldn't forget how his father's face had gone a little pale but then looked at his mom.“Mom...”“He...he was your father's elder half brother.” Sierra repiled gaining her composure. It was like she was reminded of a terrible past when it came to Joel. The man was a real piece of shit in her eyes. Never worth even looking at.Stephano was shocked to the bones. He was never informed that he had an uncle until now. And, why wasn't he informed. And, then it hit him. “He was?... He's dead?”“We don't know. He disappeared without a trace years ago.” Mason had now taken back his seat looking a little puzzled.“Well he doesn't look like he died all those years ago. This picture is just over ten years old dad!” Stephano informed and Mason looked at Sierra. “Where did you find this picture Stephano?” Mason asked.“That fucking bastard led us there!” Stepha
“It can't be...” Azazel blinked for the third time before hearing Joel laugh out. “I can get you some water to wash out your face. Maybe then you can see more clearly.” Joel smirked but Rose only looked at Azazel with no visible expression on her face.“You are alive Rose. You are...But you died in the fire? Stephano found your body...” And, Azazel paused only to turn his gaze towards Joel. His face immediately scrunched in disgust when his arms were wrapped around Rose's waist. He looked at Rose again and couldn't recognize her. Her face looked like she had been hypnotized.Azazel only wondered who this guy was and why he had him and Rose kidnapped. Looking at him again Azazel could tell he wasn't older than 20 to 23 years of age. “Who are you and what the hell do you want with us?” Azazel gritted this time before groaning when one of the guys kicked him in the stomach.Rose flinched hearing him groan and Joel had to touch her face prompting her to look at him. “You shouldn't look at
“We both are right here waiting for you, love.” Stephano gestured with a warm smile while holding their little six months old baby girl Arielle closely in his arms. Her tiny feet moved to graze Stephano's arm.Rose didn't want to shed any tears but she couldn't help it. Today was her surgery and she didn't want to get her hopes up. It was a fifty percent chance of success but Rose only chose to think about the beautiful family she had created in the last half a year. The nurses were pulling at her stretcher and taking her into the operating room.She saw Stephano's face and her little angel before the doors closed and she looked up to heaven. She had wanted to hear more than anything. It was the reason she had stalled her wedding until now. She wanted to also have Arielle before going into surgery. Doctor Drausio and the two other doctors smiled at her and Rose only inhaled sharply. This was her second ear operation and she didn't want to think about it anymore. She had now left it al
Rose groaned as she slowly opened her eyes. Her ears immediately working to pick up some faint beeping sounds. Her vision was blurry but was staring at something white before she clearly saw the white ceiling above her.Looking down she saw the cannula fixed in the back of her hand and attached to a long tube of a bag that hanged on a metal stand just beside her bed. Her breathing was normal and she only then realized she was at a hospital. She tried to recall what happened but only made her head throb.Rose looked to her side and found Stephano sleeping on the long couch. She blinked and again wanted to recall and then saw herself being bound. She recalled her breathing growing hard and intense. Someone had held her arm behind and then her eyes saw a white cloth coming towards her nose. She was quick to smell the chloroform and once it was on her nose everything went black.She winced more feeling her head now running over the place. She stirred and Stephano groaned before opening hi
Stephano tried to wiggle his arms but only found the ropes tightening him more. He groaned and saw Rose walk back to stand beside Joel. Stephano's jaw hardened when he saw Joel's arm now coming to rest on Rose's waist from behind. He had never loathed anyone as much as he did for Joel right now. He was a sudden disease like the covid that came to plague his entire family. He couldn't help but look at Rose again. Why hadn't she recognized him? Her eyes seemed so distant and so far away from him. It was as if she was not his Rose anymore. But he knew she wasn't in her right senses. He was soon beginning to dread the thoughts about what that maniac might have given her.“Are you still wondering what I did to her?” Joel read what was in his mind and Stephano couldn't help but want to punch that smug face of his hard and make him scream in pain.Joel brought Rose closer to him and about to kiss her in the mouth when Stephano growled loudly at the top of his deep voice. “HEY! DON'T FUCKING
Few Hours Ago, The choppers had now passed the Russia borders. The air traffic control had given them the clear signal to get into the cold sky. “It's damn freezing here in Russia.” Mason now had on his long coat while Stephano seemed unbothered by the cold. His eyes keenly stared outside the window. His hands moving on his thighs with an inpatient face. His entire demeanour was relentless and all he wanted to do was to have that bastard in his hand and kill him brutally. “We'll get him son.” Mason told him but Stephano didn't want to hear anything right now. He already had his gun in hand and anxiously waiting for the choppers to land on the ground. “How long till we land?” He impatiently asked the pilot. “We'll be landing in half an hour Mr De Luan.” Stephano relaxed back on his seat and had his eyes back at the window. He could see the entire city of Russia bathed in a cold like mist. Unlike Spain still wanting to enter winter, Russia had beat them to it. The cold breeze coul
