A bright light shone through the curtain and everything felt so quiet. “Rose,” Natalie’s voice came, tears on her best friend's face made Rose realize she hadn’t been dreaming. It happened and she was truly in an accident.

“My baby!” Rose’s tears began to fall down her face as she held her stomach protectively.

“Calm down, you’re still hurt. The baby is fine.” Natalie’s words made Rose sigh in relief and lay back down on the bed.

Her body was sore and everything on her was hurting. She looked at Natalie, “How long has it been?”

“A few hours, babe what the hell happened? I almost got a stroke and followed you to the afterlife!” Natalie said as she sat back on the chair next to Rose.

Despite how much pain she was in, Natalie would always put her in a good mood. Her best friend was a free spirit and didn’t tolerate any nonsense from anyone. At times, Rose found herself wishing she was as strong as Natalie.

“I was driving myself to the medical checkup,” Rose explained, her heartstrings fee

    “By the time you’re nine months, that baby will have finished all your savings, I should have indicated more settlement!” Natalie teased as she passed Rose a bowl of noodles that she had been craving.“Natalie!”“I mean, it’s not like we’re going to go broke, your bastard husband’s 50% will settle us for life!” Natalie laughed in between bites.She had taken some days off work so that she could help Rose get better. Rose had been staying at Natalie’s house for five days now since the day of the accident. She had recovered and the body pains reduced in such a short period. Knowing her best friend was going through the worst time of her life, she avoided talking about Ethan. Except when she was slandering him bitterly for hurting Rose. “Oh, I forgot to tell you. Mason is back.” Rose said and Natalie’s eyes widened, a mischievous twinkle in them that made Rose shake her head.“You don’t say! How did you know?” Natalie asked.Natalie had met Mason a few times when he used to visit Rose a

    “I don’t have time for games Ethan,” Rose said bitterly.“You’ve been away from home for four days, you’ve been ignoring my calls and now you’ve shown up to pack and just leave?”“Does it surprise you?” “Why are you so moody lately?” Ethan accused and it only made Rose angrier.‘Has he been so blind that he doesn't even see how much I've been hurt or is it that my feelings don't matter?’ It was true that Rose tried to be as less a burden to Ethan as she could. When she wasn't feeling well, when she was anxious, or needed to share great news with him. She brushed it off because she didn't want to do anything that would make him angry when all she wanted was to win his heart.Having held onto such needs for so long must have made Ethan think she just didn't care about such things but deep down it was eating her up. But she was done! And explaining what he had done wrong wasn't on her plans, so she glared at him like he was an obstacle in her way,“Your face is annoying me, how can I

    “I'm fine Natalie! Stop calling me every five minutes like I'm a toddler!” Rose complained on the phone. “I'm just checking in, to see if you miss me! What's wrong with that?” Natalie protested but Rose saw right through her.“Bye, Natalie. I have an exhibition to prepare for!” Rose cut the line and went back to designing the necklace she had been working on for some time now. A week had passed since Rose took her bags from Ethan's house and she hadn't heard from him since then. Her heart was still bleeding but she kept herself busy with work so she wouldn't think too much about it. She had a jewelry company but she was slowly building it because her focus had always been Ethan. She wanted to be at home as much as possible and tend to his needs. But now that he was out of the picture, she wanted to focus on building the company seriously especially since she had a child on the way. Rose knew how painful it was to live with no money and how unfair society was to the poor. “You will

    “Don’t tell me it’s him calling again!” Natalie shot Rose a look.It was four days later and Rose had just told Natalie about what happened and Natalie had very colorful words for him. “I’m not crazy, I won’t pick up,” Rose responded.“Good.” Natalie said as she passed Rose a glass of juice, “Because if I were you, I wouldn’t save him even if he was drowning!”“Aren’t you late for work?” Rose questioned.“I am but my anger is skyrocketing right now! I’m mad at you too, how could you go out that late in your condition?” “It won’t happen again, now go. All the best on your case today.” Rose changed the subject.Constantly having to talk about Ethan was draining her and she just wanted to breathe. “Thanks, babe! I’ll see you later.” Natalie said as she grabbed her documents and rushed out. Rose saw a message pop up on her phone and opened it in case it was important. When she opened it, she saw that it was a message from Ethan but what it said made her heart jump to her throat.ETHAN

    “A yes is not enough, I want a promise.” Anderson insisted as he held Rose’s gaze.“I promise Grandpa, I won’t divorce him.” She laughed.“Wonderful!” Anderson said as he sat up and stood. “I can’t miss my favorite drama!”“Grandpa? Were you not struggling to breathe a few minutes ago?” Rose asked as she began to doubt if he was really sick or if it was a trick to get him and Ethan to visit.“I’m now feeling better. Come, you’ll love it too! Today’s episode is going to be so good!” Anderson chuckled and Rose shook her head in disbelief as she walked along beside him.A few days later….Rose had been buried in her work especially since her jewelry exhibition date was getting closer. She had spent late nights working on her new designs and making sure the stones selected were the perfect fit. The upcoming exhibition was going to be her turning point so she wanted it all to be perfect.Feeling tired, Rose laid back in her chair at the office and read through the latest trends to keep her

    The ride back home was uncomfortable and awkward. Rose wanted the ground to swallow her whole so she could escape Ethan's new side. She was still shocked that he acted that possessively towards her and a thought crossed her mind, ‘Was he jealous?’ But how could a man who didn't love her get jealous of Mason or was it just his Ego that had been bruised? Ethan felt like something was stuffed in his chest when he saw Mason getting close to Rose. He didn't know why but he hated it and knew he would blow up if he didn't leave with her. As he drove, he was still in a bad mood especially since Rose didn't even introduce him as her husband to Mason. He felt like she was hiding the fact that she was married.“Where is your ring?” Ethan glanced at Rose before turning his eyes back on the road.“I don't wear it in public. You told me I should only wear it during family meetings for the sake of grandpa or have you forgotten?” Rose replied in a sassy tone making Ethan's jaw clench.What was go

    Ethan was angry. He left without saying another word to Rose and drove off. His heart clenched and his Jaw ticked at Rose's response.What plans? Were they plans with Mason?How could she reject his date invitation like that? She used light up and jump at every little affection he showed her. But now all she ever did was look at him coldly. Like she didn't want him in her life and that bothered him. Ethan didn't know what to call what he was feeling but he didn't like it. Gripping the steering wheel so tightly, he speeded through the traffic. “Why am I even angry?” He mumbled under his breath not understanding what was making him so bothered.His phone vibrated making him clench his Jaw as he swiped right to pick up. "What!""I'm sorry to bother you Sir, but your grandfather is requesting for you and Madam.""She's busy tell him I'll come alone. I'm almost there anyway!" He responded and cut the line.The last thing he wanted was to turn around to pick Rose only for her to look at

    “The exhibition for my sister-in-law of course!” Jane said with excitement.Ever since they were young, Ethan and Mason had always competed and never met eye to eye. So Jane, knew it would be a miracle for him not to care about the sitting arrangement because of how the media would take it. After all, the marriage was still a secret to the public. But if it was revealed later, it would be a big hit on Ethan and his grandfather wouldn't let him off the hook! It was a perfect plan to turn Rose against Ethan and Jane felt Victorious already!She was trying to read Ethan's expression and see if her plan was working but she got nothing. Ethan was hard to read because his face looked grumpy all the time. 'So she got him the seat meant for me? She even went to dinner with him? What kind of audacity is this?!’ Ethan's jaw clenched and his hand balled into a fist. He didn’t expect that Rose would give away the seat he rejected so quickly. He was actually waiting for her to beg him to attend.

    Seventeen years later……“Ethan!” Rose’s voice boomed through the house as she clattered down the stairs, her heels clicking furiously. “We’re going to be late! Daisy and Caleb’s graduation starts in twenty minutes, and you know how she is about punctuality!” she yelled as she tried to fix her left earring. Ethan emerged from the kitchen, tying his tie with a smirk. “Relax, baby. I’m ready, and I already have the car waiting.” He pulled her close before giving her a soft kiss on the lips. They were so in love even after so many years it was surreal. “You’ve been more worked up than they have. Caleb probably doesn’t even give a shit.”Rose huffed, brushing a stray hair back into place. As she created some distance so she could think clearly, “Worked up? It’s not every day our surviving triplets graduate college! And you know Daisy will never let me hear the end of it if we’re late. As for your uptight twin, I’ll pull him by the ear if I have to. He will attend.”“Mama Bear is Fesity.

    One year later…The sun hung low in the sky, casting a soft, warm glow over the cemetery as Rose, Ethan, Natalie, Zane, and their children made their way to the gravesite. The day was peaceful, with a gentle breeze, as if the world had stilled in respect for the family reunion.Rose held a bouquet of white lilies, her fingers tracing the edges of each petal. Beside her, Ethan wrapped a comforting arm around her shoulders, offering silent support as they stood before the headstones of her parents. Caleb and Daisy held hands, their little faces observing the scene unfold as they watched their mother, while Zane and Natalie held baby Arabel, who gazed curiously at her surroundings. Marie held Riley, Rose, and Ethan’s baby girl who was seven months old. It was Rose’s parent’s memorial but this time she wasn’t alone. She took a deep breath, kneeling down and placing the lilies gently in front of the graves. Her voice was soft as a tear slipped down her cheek.No matter how much time pass

    “Zane.. what..” Natalie’s voice trailed as she covered her mouth in shock.Zane smiled as he held her gaze. “Natalie,” he began, his voice full of excitement like he couldn’t wait to wife her and just be alone with her, “I fell for you the first day I laid eyes on you. Your fire and focus were the first to flip my heart. Your beauty was a bonus and Damn, I’m not complaining because my little firecracker is so fucking gorgeous. You showed me there is more to life than just living. You’ve been my strength, my joy, and my reason to keep fighting. Winning your heart has been my biggest flex but I promise you, even if it took me ten years, I would have kept trying and proving myself until you opened up for me. You’d probably fight me, but it’d be worth every broken nose I’d get.”Natalie laughed, her fingers clinging tightly to the bouquet.Zane opened the box, revealing a beautiful ring with a sparkling diamond, Her eyes widened when she realized it was the ring she helped Rose make a m

    “You’ve been my rock, my best friend, and my greatest love. You’ve made me a better man, and there’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do to make you as happy as you’ve made me. Today, I vow to stand by you, to protect you, and to cherish you for the rest of my life. I promise to love you more deeply each day, through every joy and every challenge. You, and the beautiful family we’ve created together, are my everything.”A few tears slipped down Rose’s cheeks, and she bit her lip, smiling through the emotion that welled up in her chest. She took a steadying breath as the officiant turned to her, and Ethan’s hands gently held hers, grounding her.“Ethan Sinclair, father of my children and King of heart, ” she began softly, her voice a gentle whisper that grew stronger as she spoke. “When I first met you, You were a pain in my ass.” The guests laughed.“I’ve loved you even before I knew what love was. You hated it, I could see through you but that made me want to heal your broken pieces

    The sun was shining brightly, casting a warm, golden glow over the outdoor wedding venue giving it a magical look as rows of white chairs lined the green lawn, decorated with different kinds of flowers except the Roses, the look creating an aisle that looked like a path straight out of a fairytale. At the altar, Ethan stood in a tailored black suit, his expression a mix of excitement and nervousness as he waited for his bride. His hands were clasped tightly together, his breath catching as the music began to play softly, signaling Rose’s arrival.Daisy came first, She looked cute in a beautiful white dress and her hair was made into two cute ponytails, small earrings, and a bracelet made by Rose specifically for her. She had on white socks which had a small lace at the top and white shoes with a small heel. She gave a wide smile as she walked while tossing the peony petals on the white long carpet. The crowd of guests smiled and were all in awe as they watched her little figure walk

    Two months later…“This feels weird,” Rose said as Natalie tied the ropes behind her dress.“Why do you feel weird? Because you’re in a wedding dress while pregnant with two kids and another adopted baby?” Natalie teased making Rose laugh.“Very nice way of making me feel so much better!” Rose mocked. Natalie smiled warmly, her hands resting gently on Rose’s shoulders as she turned her around to face the mirror. “Look at you, Rose. You’re absolutely glowing,” she said, her voice emotional, “This little angel is surely doing you justice, I looked like I had swallowed balloons when I was carrying Arabel.”Rose laughed, “You exaggerate too much. You looked stunning, it’s no wonder Zane always lost his mind over you.” Her throat felt dry as the emotions she was trying to hold back came crashing down.It had been two months since Natalie woke up and made a great recovery. Ian was still observing her closely but she was better.Arabel, who was born prematurely at seven months had also reac

    “A little scared, but yeah, I’m ready.” He responded with a small smile.Agness nodded as she held the door open for him. He stepped inside, his heart pounding as he approached her bed. Gently, he took her hand in his, feeling the faint warmth of her skin beneath his fingers. He swallowed, a knot forming in his throat.She looked like she was just asleep and not on the verge of death.“Natalie,” he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. “It’s me. I’m here.”Her hand was still, but he held on, willing her to feel his presence. “You’re not alone, baby. I’ll be here every step of the way. I’m not going anywhere. We have a little girl, I heard you named her Arabel. It’s a very beautiful name, and she’s waiting to meet you, and I know she’s going to love you as much as I do.”His voice cracked, and he blinked back the tears threatening to fall. “You have to come back to us. I need you. Arabel needs you. We’re not complete without you.” He lifted her hand to his face as tears ran down his

    One week later…“CONGRATULATIONS, IT’S A GIRL!” Agness smiled at Zane as she delivered the news. He had woken up two days after Ian saved him, stabilized four days later, and was now able to stand. “Can I see her?” Zane asked, feeling like his chest was stuffed with emotions. “As soon as you get better and you’re able to walk again, I’ll take you to her. We can’t bring her out yet because she’s premature and has to be observed.” Agness explained kindly.“Congratulations, man. Welcome to fatherhood.” Ethan tapped his shoulder.“Congratulations, Zane.” Rose smiled, but her smile didn’t reach her eyes. Everyone surrounded him including Ilet his mother and Henry.“You’re finally grown, my sweet prince!” Ilet let out a cry making Henry groan because he knew she was about to start being dramatic.“Mum,”“Don’t mum me, young man. You’re in so much trouble! Just wait until you get better. You’re lucky I was too preoccupied with Arabel to hit you.”“Arabel?” Zane asked arching his brow in c
