ROSÉ’s POV

This is a question I never asked myself.

"Do I love him? Do I like him?" I wasn't ready for the answer just yet. You know, they say ignorance is bliss. So I suppressed all my emotions and convinced myself that our relationship was merely a contract.

It was better that way, it was better to believe that I felt nothing for him, than to admit that there was more between us. I looked into his eyes and they were begging for answers.

"I don't know..." I blurted out, "I haven't thought about it..."

Navy's eyes flashed with disappointment and hurt as he spoke, "If you have to think about it then there's no point..."

I opened my mouth to speak but the words were too heavy to come out.

He exhaled softly, "I have another question,"

I nodded, waiting for him to ask away.

"Well, never mind," he said abruptly.

"Don't keep Paula waiting, call me when you're done here. I'll come pick you up..."

    NAVY'S POVElodie got down of the car and it felt like a part of me had gone with her. It was so difficult seeing her walk away when all I wanted to do was spend time with her and watch our baby grow.I felt heavy and dejected watching her from my rearview mirror walking away.Recently, I had seen more of her back than I wanted.I released a deep breath and finally garnered the courage to drive away, yet my mind kept going in the same direction. "Was that too sudden?" I wondered, suddenly reminiscing on the blank expression on her face when I asked her about her feelings for me.I was hoping she would at least feel something, but it didn't look like it. Seeing Washington's gray atmosphere, felt like a mockery of my own gray emotions.I averted my gaze away, looking around aimlessly. Then, my eyes fell on her phone.I was right, Elodie was startled by my question. She left her phone on the passenger's seat."Huh!" I sighed.

    Rosé's POVHe looked the happiest I've ever seen him. His smiles brightened his face and glowed his hazel eyes. Perhaps, it was the fact that he was wearing a tuxedo to go have dinner with me that made him outrageously attractive. "Why are you dressed like that?" I asked, as I descended the stairs.He extended his hand to me as I neared him and I impulsively took it."I should be asking you, why are you dressed like that on our first date, ma'am?” He replied with an aloofness in his tone."First date?!" I exclaimed, "no one told me anything about a date...""At least you would remember being asked, 'would you like to have dinner with me?' as Paula drove us home...""Oh! Was that you asking me on a date?"He narrowed his eyes, while booping his head excitedly."Yes, ma'am. So Could you go in and wear something other than sweatpants and a hoodie? I know its cold but could you do it for me?... Please?"I couldn't help the smile that slipped from my lips and soon I was giggling. "I did

The decision had been brewing since Docor Martins announced that we were having a baby girl.Of course, I deliberated on a few other names but none of them seemed to be perfect. I wanted our daughter to embody the essence of the woman who birthed her as well as reflect the status of her father.Elodie was perfect for our child. She would have all the attributes of her mother and all the riches of her father. "But why?" She stammered, "I mean, I'm not against it. I'm just...""Stunned?" "Amazed..." She countered.The waitress rolled in a cart of food and decorated our table with a feast. "No, no wine for her..." I declared, noticing she poured a glass for Elodie."My apologies sir, ma'am... I didn't see your baby bump until now..." She explained, "I apologize for the mistake...""It's alright..."

Lumbar interrupted, puzzled by his brother's accusation.Navy's eyes flared with fury- not directed at me but at the person who recorded us."Stay out of this, Lumbar!" Navy repeated."Okay, that's enough!" Lumbar bellowed, "let's go inside, Rosé" he said, taking my the hand as he guided me into the houuse.I glanced behind me before Lumbar slammed the door shut and I found Navy fuming."It's not what you think, Lumbar.

I asked curiously, "No. I just want to know did you hide in the toilet earlier?"Sh*t! I cursed under my breath. I really thought that was over."I don't know," I answered, "Please, just tell me as it is. We are getting married in a day and I still feel like I know nothing about you.""Yes, I hid!" I blurted out, "I hid because I was afraid...""Afraid of me?!" He questioned, his voice a little high-pitched expressing his surprise."No, because I thought you would

Perhaps it was her feminine voice that triggered the thrill, or maybe it was the gorgeous smile on her face that had me grinning from ear to ear."Why are you smiling in your sleep?" echoed in my sleep, stirring me awake.I forced my eyes open and was greeted by Elodie staring back at me."Rosé Leonardo..." I groaned groggily, "why are you disturbing my sleep?""You weren't dreaming about our wedding day again, were you?""I was, and I'll keep dreaming about it." I returned."It's been a week now, I can't keep watching you smile in your sleep. It is becoming creepy," "What will you d

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.

    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

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

    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
