“Mrs Sinclair came to me with an update and asked us to look into it discreetly.” The detective began.“What update?” Ethan asked. It had only been a few minutes since he arrived at the station and was sitting in Detective Micheal’s office. “She mentioned that the person she was suspecting to be behind those events was Zoe Smith.” The detective paused to study Ethan’s face.“Proceed with the investigation. Unless you did and you called me over to give me news of your findings?” Ethan raised his brow.“No, we called you over for something else but I thought you should know.”“What did you call me over for?” Ethan asked, running out of patience.“I called you over because we found Miss Smith dead this afternoon.” The detective sighed and removed his glasses before proceeding, “She was murdered and her friend is the one who found her.”“Which friend?”“Francesca.”Ethan nodded. He didn’t know how to take the news. He wondered if the ex-husband she kept running away from was the man behi
“Please calm down, Mr. Sinclair.” Detective Micheal stood when he noticed the temperature dropping a few degrees lower.“I should calm down?” He cocked his head to the side.Silence.“My wife was in danger and I should calm down? Shouldn’t you be arresting her?” His voice was so cold.Ethan stood and ran a hand through his locks, his mind was spinning and he felt suffocated. Anger bubbled inside him as the realization hit him.The roses Zoe picked, were deliberate. She knew Rose was allergic.Calls at awkward times.Every little thing he overlooked began hitting him like a slap in the face and a stab to the heart. Rose was right to leave him. He did hurt her. So much so that he practically killed their child himself. His grey storms turned to Francesca, “I will have your license revoked, and you will never work as a doctor ever again. Your job is to fucking save lives and now you’re playing God by deciding who lives and who fucking doesn’t? Don’t you know who I fucking am?” He stood
“I can take you. Using our helicopter will be faster.”“Our?”“Everything I own is yours too, baby, come on.” Ethan took her hand and pulled out his phone in the other and dialed Alfred's line,“Alfred, have the helicopter ready. I'm on my way.”“Yes sir,” Alfred responded as Ethan joined the traffic.Rose's heart was pounding hard In her chest as tears fell down her cheeks. She didn't know how bad the injury was and couldn't even ask for details because the doctor asked for Marie and she said she'd call in a bit. “It's all my fault! I shouldn't have left them.” Rose sobbed.“Shhh, babe. It's not your fault. You're a great mother. It will be okay. Don't cry because I'll have to slow down so you can calm down.”“Why are you being nice to us? I mean Caleb and Daisy-”“Are not even mine?” Ethan laughed as he dialed Ian's number.“It might sound crazy but I feel attached to them. When I'm around Daisy, It doesn't even feel like she's not mine biologically. Maybe because I love you so much
“WHAT?” Ethan stood, feeling like someone had just wrung his heart painfully.He heard what Ian said but it felt like his ears were playing tricks on him.“The boy looks just like you. No need for DNA. But I took one just to be sure. How didn’t you notice this?”“I’ve never met him,” Ethan whispered as hurt clenched his heart. How was it possible?Rose left when she just had a miscarriage and he only met her five years later. It wasn’t adding up.“I see. Well, at least you know he’s yours.”“What about Daisy?”“Daisy?”“Yes, the girl? They seem to be around the same age but she’s a carbon copy of Rose. Could they be twins?” Ethan went on to tell Ian how he met her and what’s been happening. “I don’t know, I’ll do a test on her once I see her.” “Thanks for looking out for me, man. I’ll take it from here. I have to speak to Rose about this.” “Well, this is some fucked up world you live in.” He chuckled when they heard a little cute voice behind them, “: Daddy!” Daisy ran forward and
“What are you doing?” Rose glared at him, afraid it would cause a scene if anyone saw them or worse, took a picture,But Ethan didn’t say a word. He stayed on his knees on the concrete floor while his heart broke into a million pieces. But his silence only angered Rose even more. “Did you call me out here for this? Say something!”Ethan lifted his head that was hanging low and stared at her. His eyes looked pained and he had grief written all over his face. Rose felt her heart ache for him.Am I being too harsh? She wondered for a moment when his voice pulled her back,“There is nothing I can say, baby. You are right and your anger is justified. I don’t even have the right to ask for forgiveness let alone being mad. But I’m hurt, Rose. I’m bleeding and my heart is crying for you. I know I fucked up but please let me fix this.”Rose scoffed.Tears clouded her vision when she remembered how he suddenly became worse when Zoe returned. The pain was raw and still fresh. They say the harder
“You might wait a long time,” Rose said, her tone lighter.Ethan smiled, “I have all the time in the world baby.”“You do seem to have too much lately, stalking me and all.” “Let’s not say stalking, I’d love to call it checking on you,” Ethan responded playfully.Rose laughed and the atmosphere felt lighter.She had imagined the scenario of Ethan finding out about his child but none of it ended peacefully. Seeing the way it felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders made her wish she told him earlier.“Babe,”“Don’t call me that.”“My love?”“Ethan,” Rose warned, but a smile was threatening to curve her lips upwards.“My love it is. I need to ask something, Ian did the DNA on Caleb but what about Daisy? Are they twins?”“That’s illegal. I’ll sue his ass!”“With that blonde as your lawyer, you’ll definitely win. We should sue him together.”“You have no loyalty!” Rose rolled her eyes.“My loyalty lies wherever my wife is.”Rose blushed but she covered it by clearing her throa

“Another!” Natalie shouted over the loud music as she drowned in a shot of tequila. Being a lightweight meant she couldn’t handle more than four but she was already on her 6th. Her mind was spinning and her vision was blurry. It was like the world was going in circles and she hated the dizzy feeling. But there was nothing she could do about it.For once she wanted to feel nothing. Her ex had maxed out all her credit cards which she recently found out. In addition to that, her mother and sister were a constant pain in her ass who kept causing trouble and expected her to clean up simply because she educated her.Natalie was tired. “I think you need to slow down.” The bar attendee said and she only laughed, barely able to keep her vision focused.“Are you giving me the drinks for free or am I paying? Besides, the more I drink the more you thrive in your shift, so leave me alone!” The man raised his hands in surrender.Standing up, she took off her heels, replaced them with sneakers wh

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
