◼Rose POV◼
We were heading to that bastard place. Just my brother, my lover, and I. Watching the scenery outside, I keep thinking about everything that had happened. I kept thinking that now that I believe in love, I would lose it. The sacrifices I’m making have paid an enormous price. But everything will work out, eventually. I may sound like the most heartless person. My brother told me it didn’t matter, but down deep inside me, it did.
First, I hated the pregnancy, but seeing Nikolas happy and Liam excited about becoming an uncle may not be a bad thing. I also was loving the idea of a baby, but I had no choice.
Selfish, to say the least. Taking a deep breath, I let it out and relax. By the time we arrive, maybe Nikolas and everyone else would be there. I had to calculate everything
◼Rose POV◼This was news to me. I was a being that held all the traits and qualities of our creators.“You know what’s worse. My own brothers didn’t wish to kill you. They had this stupid idea you would be what we needed, well too bad because I don’t need someone like you,” the bastard said.I was in shock. Was all this true? Or where this lies?“Lies, right?” I asked with my head lowered.“Lies? I wish, but it’s not,” the bastard said.I started laughing out loud. But, my goddess, was all this true then?“What the fuck are you la
◼Rose POV◼ Somehow I had fallen asleep on the way. Feeling someone shaking me, I open my eyes and see my brother carrying me out of the car. I felt tired, the pain in the leg unbearable. So I let myself fall asleep in my brother’s arm. Reaching the bedroom, I feel my brother laid me down in bed. Let the tiredness take over. I fall asleep. My body was finally aching; I could feel my leg hurting a lot. I didn’t want to move. So, I decided it was best to rest. The following day, I woke up to the brightness of the sun. Sitting up in bed, I look at the mountains. It was a beautiful day. But, I felt something was different. Something had changed. A knock on the door distracts me from my thoughts. Letting the person in, I see my brother
◼Rose POV◼ Three years later… “Let’s get our new recruits ready and have them trained in three months,” Liam ordered. “No way. What about the other?” Renata argued. “I said no, they have their duty. Also, they are to be sent to Jordan,” Liam continues saying, “Plus, remember he asked for the first, so don’t bargain with me.” Sighing, I stand up and grab a sword. Walking over to the new recruit, I explain what we will do. Renata and Liam continue arguing, ignoring me altogether. Practicing the sword has become one of my new hobbies. The movement that I require has been a help to my injured leg. Even though I stil
◼Nikolas◼Three years ago…I watch her leave like that. A coward was the only thought I had in mind.I fist my hands in anger. I wanted to stop her, to see her turn around and beg for forgiveness. But, instead, she did nothing. She just walks away.Heading back to the car, I remove the crown from my head and watch as we finally leave. That bastard’s body was disposed of. Making sure we left no trace of him.All the way back home, I felt the need to turn back and head to Rose clans. But just thinking about seeing her pissed me. I should have taught her a lesson. Frustration, I look at the crown and throw it against the seat. I hated it. Why did she
◼Rose◼A few days ago, I passed out because Nikolas's letter overwhelmed me. Liam and Eden were worried for me. It hurt, and I haven’t stopped crying. They tried talking with me, but I asked them to leave me alone.Now I had gone and visited the Asian Clan. I needed a distraction. To be away from here. So, preparing my bags, I ask Renata to join me on the trip. Liam tried to argue with me, but I scolded him. I didn’t want to hear anything from them.As we departed from our long trip, I kept thinking about the letter and his words. He was married. He quickly forgot about me. How naïve I thought that maybe time would make me accept him once again.Throughout the flight, I was silent. Renata tried to make conversation, but I
◼Rose◼ Realizing what he just said, I blush. Nikolas was smiling at me in a way I’ve never seen before. Then, walking over to me, he grabs my hand and pulls me away. I didn’t turn to look at anyone. We walked for a while before Nikolas finally stopped. Slamming me against the wall, he hits his hand, making me flinch. Kissing me roughly, I try to push him. But it was so overwhelming that I gave in. My arms circled around his neck. Kissing him passionately back, I let him take control. That electric feeling spreading across my body. How have I missed his touch? Slowly, he leaned his body against mine. Making me moan. I could feel how horny he was. He wanted me just like I wanted him right now. But there was no time for this. Moving my fa
Nikolas POVAfter we returned to the party, both Rose and I had a tremendous surprise. Everyone present on the ball was bowing to us. Rose and I didn’t understand what was happening, but once the Prince of Asia came forward and said what was happening. Both Rose and I were speechless.Everyone knew we got marked, but I never expected that the Prince of Asia had planned all this. With a sigh, I saw Rose stand next to the prince and introduce him.Rose looked too familiar with him. Taking a seat at a table, Rose explained what had happened.“Before coming over, Prince Novak asked me for a favor,” Rose said.“What would that be?” I asked, intrigued.
Rose POV I stood watching the men trained. My belly felt heavy. I was nine months pregnant. I was going to give birth soon. So for the last month, I’ve been stressed for the sole reason that Nikolas was not serious about our kid. The one-year-old prince was making a ruckus around the palace every day. Nikolas found it funny, but I find it undisciplined. Nikolas keeps saying I’m overreacting, but he was our heir, our prince. So he needed to learn how to behave well. My brother Eden says he’s still tiny and that I’m dramatic, but I want our future king to be better than us. Hearing a cheerful voice, I turn around and find Liam carrying the prince.
