“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

Hello my hunies, this is the Everywoman.I wanted to appreciate each and every one of you for the great support you've given me since I started the book.Your comments, reviews, gems, and gifts have put a smile on my face each time I open my laptop. Thank you for rocking with me. I also wanted to take this opportunity to answer a few questions. Most have asked how long the book will be. My editor and I are still discussing it, but it should be around 300 chapters because it will have Zane and Ian's story incorporated. (I won't drag it, I promise. *pinky swears*)If you have any other questions, please comment below, and I'll do my best to answer each and every one of them.I am because of you, and for that, I'm grateful.Have a great weekend.

“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
“Here, take this. It will make you feel better.” Zane said as he gave the water to Natalie. She had sobered up but because she mixed alcohol, she kept gagging. “I told you I don’t want to be sober.” She groaned.“Whatever happens tonight will be forgotten by me. So do whatever you want to do. Come, your bath is ready.” He stretched his hand and helped her stand. Natalie studied his features and bit the inside of her cheeks. Why was this gorgeous man interested in her? He was definitely a player. She thought.“I can hear you judging me,” Zane said as he opened the door to the bathroom.“What! Why would I do that? Are you so guilty that you think every girl you meet is judging you?” Natalie defended herself.“There’s never been a girl before you baby, everything is in there. I’ll be out here.” He pushed her gently inside his touch feeling like electricity on her skin.Natalie was about to protest but her words were caught in her throat at the way the bathroom had been made. The bathtu
“This is so beautiful, Daddy!” Daisy exclaimed as the beach house came into view.“Can we just stay here?” Caleb asked excitedly“We can if-”“No, we can’t but we can visit sometimes.” Rose smiled at the kids and glared at Ethan.“Oh Okay, mummy!” Daisy smiled as she ran inside the house.“The first one to reach the house is the coolest!” Caleb exclaimed as he ran to the door.Ethan was smiling and was about to follow them when Rose stopped him,“You can’t just say yes to everything they ask you,” Rose said, in a displeased tone. “Of course I know that. My grandfather says no to half of the things I ask for. So I do them anyway. So I figured if I say yes, then they won’t have to be sad.”“That’s not how it works. Ethan, you’re doing great but you have to teach them that not everything goes as you want in life. That way, they will grow up with realistic expectations.”Ethan nodded.“I’m sorry, Rose. I’m new at this, I’ll do better.” He stepped forward and reached for her hand but Rose
“Are you sure?” Ethan asked in a shocked voice.“You don’t want to?” Rose asked.Ethan stood from the sand and sat closer to Rose, he grabbed her hands in his but she pulled back. His eyes flashed with a hurt feeling but he quickly recovered,“How can I not want? It’s the best news I’ve received this year apart from when I found you and knew I was a father.” He smiled.“Daddy, I’m tired. Can we go back inside now?” Caleb's voice pulled them back to him but Rose knew he just wanted to play with his tablet so she responded instead, “Not yet.”“Mummy!” Caleb whined but Rose ignored him and Ethan only shrugged, he too was afraid of her wrath.“Daddy! Come see my castle!” Daisy called and he walked over to where she was building sand on the castle. He took out his phone and took a picture of her adorable face smiling with some teeth missing. He made the picture his screen wallpaper and made Caleb his home screen. Happy with that, he joined Daisy and they spent more time playing in the san
“Rose.” He called her name like a plea.Rose stood in his arms, frozen and unable to move. She lifted her eyes and what she saw in his eyes made her stomach churn. She was married to Ethan for three years and yet he had never looked at her like that before.His eyes darkened with desire and it shocked her. He looked at her like wanted to devour her like there was no tomorrow. She felt his hard-on pressing against her front making her nipples harden. It had been so long since someone touched her. Hell, Ethan was the only man who had ever touched her. She swallowed as he caressed her back. His touch was light but left tingles in its wake.Ethan kept his eyes on her, studying her like he'd never get a chance to see her this close again. “So fucking beautiful.” He mumbled as he moved his hand and ran his thumb on her bottom lip making her shiver. How had he not noticed how beautiful this woman was? From the way, her pink lips looked kissable. The beautiful and soft skin she had. Her
“Where did you go?” Marie's voice stopped Rose in her tracks“Granny!” Daisy rushed forward.“Hello, Granny!” Caleb added“Hi, my little angels. Grandpa is here to see you, why don't you go and say hi? He's in the backyard.”“Really!” Daisy exclaimed as she rushed to the backyard with Caleb following closely behindRose was still shaking from the news she had received earlier and was trying to keep herself together in front of her kids. She was still in shock, and Natalie was out of town, only to return later. “I asked you a question!” Marie fumed.“Aunt, please.” Rose was on the verge of tears. She and Zoe never met eye to eye but how do you feel when the last person you fought with suddenly died brutally? The shock was inevitable and worry consumed her. Are the police going to suspect her?If that happened, what would happen to her career And her children? Society was unforgiving, and the moment she was tied to a murder case, her kids would face backlash. She remembered how hard

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
