ROSÉ'S POVTabitha strolled into the house, trailing behind Navy. Seeing her again stirred awake my suppressed emotions. My face contorted into a visible expression of the emotions that were brewing within me.Navy and I exchanged glances before I brushed past them to the door.I suddenly needed a breath of fresh air.Footsteps echoed behind me as I made my way to the garden."Rosé, let's talk about it, please..." His voice echoed dauntingly as he settled beside me on the garden bench."I couldn't just let her go, she's homeless..." I went quiet, afraid that if I said anything, it would leave our relationship in bruises."She apologizes for..." His voice faltered."For hitting me in the face, is that too heavy to say?" I retorted."She was just triggered, just as you are right now...""I don't remember hitting you..." "I do!" "That was well deserved!" I interjected, my voice a little louder than I intended.Navy laid off, releasing a deep breath as he rested on the base of the ben

NAVY’s POVAll that silence between us built up within me, something tremendously wrong. I couldn’t sleep. Beside her, I wondered why she was so pissed about Tabitha being around. Apart from the obvious reason that she had hit her, I just couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t move past it after an apology.I wondered if her crankiness could have been associated with Elodie’s possible heart condition.My eyes blinked shut, and they weren’t open again until dawn. I was startled awake by Rosé body brushing on me as she turned. I, habitually, extended my hand and she rested in my arms.The up-and-down rhythm of her breaths fell lightly on my neck as she slept on soundly.Moments like this were all that mattered, I wanted a quiet family life with my wife, despite Tabitha’s presence.The incoming winter in Washington was in no way like the previous seasons.

ROSÉ’s POVThe sound of Navy’s phone ringing persistently stirred us from our morning sleep. After the time we had last night, I woke up with a more cheerful attitude, resolving to be better at handling my emotions, despite Tabitha’s facades.Navy scrambled to find the phone, while I threw off the warm sheets from my body, heading to the bathroom. I was in the bathroom when I heard the door creak open, and footsteps that were not Navy’s resounded in the air. Thankful to the splash sounds of warm water, I was blocked from their conversation.By the time I was done, fast paced footsteps retreated from the room and the door slammed shut.“I got to go to work…” Navy announced as I stepped out of the bathroom.“Oh…” I exclaimed passively, “Something has come up,” I sensed the hesitation in his voice before he continued, “Could you take her to the hospital? I know you wanted to rest, but…”“I’ll take her,” I interrupted, saving him the agony, “I just need to have breakfast…”The mornin

Rosé POVI could literally feel Navy hold his breath after Alexander’s announcement, overcome with emotions, Tabitha clung to him, with tears streaming down her face, “I just found you,” she sobbed, “I don’t want to die…“You won’t die, ma’am” I reassured her, “Alexander, can you schedule us for the surgery?”“What are you saying?” Tabitha cut in, her voice suddenly firm, “Who is Alexander? Why would I put my life in his hands?!”“Oh…” I exclaimed, her words lingered in the room stifling the air in it. Alexander and I exchanged glances and I mouthed my apologies.“I want the best hospital in Washington, with good doctors who know their patient-doctor boundaries.”“Stop crying, I’ll get you everything to get better,” Navy consoled, patting her back gently.The office held its breath as Tabitha wiped her face dry, stood up, and made her way to the door.“Your car is in the parking lot, isn’t it?” Navy nodded in response. She slammed the door shut and the room released its breath.“Doc

Navy's POV Cold air whooshed past me as I ascended the stairs of the lighthouse, the evening chills sending shivers down my spine.The lighthouse stood tall, its light cutting through the foggy sky."Why are you sitting here all alone?" I asked, having approached her quietly.Startled by my unexpected presence, Rosé jumped, "You startled me, how did you get here?""I saw the lights on... It is a lighthouse." I teased.Elodie stood up from the little stool to the rims of the balcony. She looked as if she was brimming with thoughts.I waited, eager for her words but nothing came.So I stepped up instead, "I came up to commend you..." I began, breaking the silence, "I see that you're trying." Squinting her eyes halfway, she smiled broadly, "You saw that," she blushed, "Thank you for our first peaceful lunch, it must have taken a lot of self-denial, but you did it for me and I'm grateful." My voice cracked with emotions as Rosé closed the distance between us. "I love you..." She whi

Rosé’s POVHe knew she was wrong but somehow he still chose her side. As the words left his mouth, my heart sank.“It’s not just a bed, the essence of this room is us. This is our matrimonial bed, and a third person on it is just disrespectful,” I explained, my heart pumping with frustration.I could tell Navy was feeling frustrated too, his eyes flared with irritation as he bellowed,“Why are you making a fuss? We’re not even in a …” he paused, swallowing the obvious remaining words.“When we’re not even in a real marriage,” I bet that’s what he wanted to say but he held back.In a situation where I was busy fighting for what I thought was for ‘us’, it only felt like I was opposing his mother to him. Tabitha’s nicely played theatrics painted a convincing picture of me as the bully and her, as the innocent. She made it look so believable. There was no need to explain myself, the disapproving look on Navy’s face announced his feelings clearly, tears welled up my eyes and threatened t

Rosé’s POVThe new day found me en route Navy’s family home in Italy. I regretted my impulsive decision the moment I rounded up at the large compound. What if showing up unannounced was a mistake? I wondered, my confidence slowly depleting as I took slow steps toward the door.Unexpectedly, the entranceway creaked open, revealing a vaguely familiar face staring back at me.“Enzo?” I raised an eyebrow. Enzo broke into a wide grin, beaming excitedly as he aimed for my handbag.“It’s fine, I can hold it. Please could you inform Mrs Leonardo that I am here?”“Mrs Navidad Leonardo?” He exclaimed in a thick Italian accent.“Yes, yes. That’s me,” I grinned awkwardly, “Then this house is your home as well, please come in ma’am,” Enzo replied.For some reason, he was more cheerful than I last remember. “Is everyone home?” I asked as we advanced to the living room.Enzo nodded, “Everyone except the evil lady Clarissa. We’re finally free from her…”“Oh!” I exclaimed, her absence surely benef

Paula and I ended our conversation minutes ago, yet I found myself unable to leave Rosé’s room. My mind raced with thoughts, wondering about her whereabouts.Despite Paula’s reassuring words, the lingering fear persisted,- what if she was somewhere in the streets, passed out like the day I found her outside my gate!Trauma, it seemed had taken hold of me, sending messages that stirred unimaginable emotions in my mind.Tossing the phone away, I slumped on the bed.

We redesignedput my minimalist style living room aesthetic to good use, the chandeliers above creating a dimly lit room as dawn set in.Guests trickled in, their murmurs mingling with our choice of music.Alexander stood by the makeshift altar, being the head of two long feast tables, placed at the center. I stood behind him taking in the sight of everything we had done together.The scent of fresh flowers filled the air, the vibrant colors of the floral arrangements contrasting beautifully with the muted tones of the room.Soft candlelight danced on the two-tier cake, sitting at the center of the table.Alexander was particular when he said there were twenty people coming. As his parents arrive right on time, I couldn

Rosé’s POVI left Amelia straddled to his forefront, with a direction of how the rest of the day would go for her. Navy asked a million questions, yet before we left, Alexander asked the same questions all over again.“Is there anything that comes as an instinct to men?” Paula asked, shaking her head in disbelief.Finn stepped into the driver’s seat with my sister right beside him in the passenger’s seat. Paula instantly exclaimed, “I’m getting married tonight, please let’s focus on the road.”A soft chuckle escaped my lips as I glanced at Finn, “she’s burning you,” I teased, Finn nodded agreeably, “I am searching for a good comeback…”Paula broke into a soft laughter, flailing her arms in the air. “What are we buying first?” “A wedding dress first, before the bridesmaids dresses. We haven’t even decided on the color. We’re wasting time!” Grace exclaimed, strangely motivating us in the right way.“Pink,” Paula replied, her voice cracking with emotions, suddenly she broke down in

"Maybe having you as my legal guardian won't be so bad," Grace's voice boomed into my thoughts, her excitement evident in her bubbly tone."I was worried about us, about the kind of relationship I would have with you." She continued in a tone calmer than the first.I glanced at her with an eyebrow raised. "She told you about me?"Grace nodded, her gaze softening as she glanced at me. "There are only two people mamañ talks about you, and her mother.""She was always complaining about you." Her voice shivered faintly as she
Is this love, Mr CEO? See you in Paris
Navy’s POVLove only took a moment, and I was witnessing that moment right before me.Finn had no notice of the heart that was not beating for him, fascinated by his mere presence.My gaze flickered from Rosé to Finn, before returning to Grace.

Just the interview was his opportunity to retain Rosé.“I apologize for that…,” Finn paused, swiping his gaze on the features of the inconvenient customer to be certain of the status.

Chapter 144Navy’s POVThe sister’s fight had ended the moment Grace face was flooded with tears. Rosé fragile as usual gave in to her emotions too, joining her in tears. The morning sun was yet to show his face, yet the sniffles from her mother and aunty must have woken my daughter, her presence now contributing to the chorus of tears in the room.I fell into a state of chaos, torn between racing to my daughter or my wife, not knowing who to console first.Amelia got louder, hurling me towards her direction.“I’m sorry,” Grace’s soft voice echoed in the room, “please, let me rely on you… as a sister. I have no one else.”Cradling my daughter on chest, I turned to face them. Rosé was quivering slightly, her face flushed with a mix of tears and relief. “Hmmm,” I exhaled softly, looking between mother and daughter.“Such crybabies.” I remarked, stirring a blush on Rosé’s face.“I think she is hungry…” Grace croaked, her voice barely above a whisper.I nodded, “I think so too… and I f

Chapter 143Navy’s POVI blinked my eyes open, perturbed by the noise in the house. It was barely a minute since I closed my eyes, my eyes were heavy from the the lack of sleep.The first image that came into my view, was an image of Rosé packing a luggage, and instantly, my heart plummeted at the sight of it, thudding against my chest.“Baby, what’s going on?” I asked, the drowsiness in my eyes was completely gone as I jolted to my feet, making my way to Rosé.“Please, tell me, what’s wrong? Please…” Rosé turned to me, her eyes blaring with something I had never seen before.“Let’s go to Paris… let’s go today, now, let’s just go!”“Why?” I asked, “I’ll do whatever you want me to do but I need to understand why first.” “Mamañ, she’s gone…” Rosé replied, her voice quivering as she spoke, “She left Grace here and disappeared, just like me… she’s abandoned her. You think she’s still going to change? You think we still have a chance to her support? That woman deserves to burn in hell!”
Is this love, Mr CEO? For your sins
Chapter 142ROSE POV Navy sat on the armchair in my spacious room, observing me as I paced agitatedly around, seething with anger at mamañ.“I can’t believe her!” I breathed, “The message Andre sent to us is a clear threat, yet she perceives it as him seeking her. What’d I tell you? She would choose Andre over anyone at any time.”“Elodie,” Navy’s soothing voice interjected, imbued with longing. As our eyes met, I could not help but notice the desire in his gaze. His gaze steadied on me, the intensity of it sending shivers down my spine. Despite my anger at mamañ, in that moment, all I could focus on was the sudden pull between us. His presence filled the room, wafting around me like a curl of smoke.“Rosé,” Navy murmured, his voice barely above a whisper, but it echoed loudly in the silence between us.“Uh,” he cleared his throat, “She is just in love… could you look at it from that perspective?“A wave of disappointment struck me as the desire in his eyes faded while he spoke.I
Is this love, Mr CEO? Andre is alive?
ROSÉ’s POVA soft exhaled escaped me, as my eyes crinkled with tears, a lump formed in my throat as I struggled to speak.“What… what do you mean, Maa?” Grace spoke out finally, breaking the silence.The answer to that question I already knew. Mamañ had acted as expected.“Henry Benoit,” she sighed sadly, “I’ve wronged him in so many ways. Andre tried to kill him once, or twice…” Our eyes met briefly moment, and I could tell from her expression that it was more than that. “Only the truth mamañ.”Mamañ bowed her head in regret, memories flooding back.“Rosé, Andre tried to harm him so many times that Benoit got a restraining order against him.”“But he didn’t stop, did he?”Mamañ shook her head sadly, her tears welling up.“He didn’t, he tried every means possible.”“Why didn’t he just arrest him?” Navy’s voice boomed into the air, shifting our attention to his tall figure emerging from the hallway.“I put her back to bed,” he explained, planting a peck on my cheek as he joined the
Is this love, Mr CEO? Feisty Grace
As I stayed in his arms, breathing in his faint fragrance and warmth until a soft coo of a baby interrupted the silence.“It’s Amelia!” Navy gasped, excitement bubbling in his voice.“Wait, you called her Amelia?” I exclaimed, surprised. “Well, I figured she could have two names.”A soft chuckle escaped my lips as I stepped out of his arms. “I’d love that…”Navy nodded, cupping my face in his hands. “I’ll take care of her, you go to the dining.”Taking a deep breath, I made my way back to the dining room, where mamañ and Grace were still seated, their conversation paused as I stepped in. Grace’s appearance was nothing like mamañ’s, and the more I studied her features, I was more convinced that she wasn’t Andre’s daughter.“Mamañ, Grace,” I began, my voice steady, despite the turmoil within, “let’s talk,”Mamañ raised her gaze to me, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.“Where have you been?” I asked, my voice demanding nothing but the truth.“Here and there…” Mamañ replied, dartin
