“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
SLAP!The sound echoed in the empty bedroom and Jane stumbled backwards as she held her cheeks while tears rolled down her face. “I didn’t know- Ah!” Jane cried out as another slap hit her.Hot tears ran fast down her face as she avoided her angry father’s stare. She looked at her mother silently begging for help but she only folded her arms and looked elsewhere.“What the fuck was father talking about! Did you get a boyfriend?” He growled as he slapped her again.“No, it was just a one-time thing.” Jane cried.“ A one-time thing that turned into countless abortions? Who is he?!” Andrew demanded.“Dad, please!”“I ASKED YOU WHO HE IS!” His voice thundered.“I’ll never tell you! Why can’t I live a normal life? I’m twenty-three but you treat me like I can’t even make my own decisions. I wanted to get married but no! I had to keep being Ethan’s shadow. How long must I sit and wait for him to mess up? Is that all my life will ever be?” Tears ran down her face,Her mother’s face held no e
“Daddy, are you sure we will manage to get everything on the list?” Caleb asked.Ethan looked up from the list, “Yes why?”“Because we’ve been standing here for a long time. What are you searching for?” Daisy asked.“I’m looking for this sauce,” Ethan responded, feeling like grocery shopping was harder than he thought.“Oh Daddy!” Daisy laughed, “I know where it is, come I show you!” She held his pinky in her small hand to pull him.“Maybe I should call mummy!” Caleb said.“No, we are not calling Mummy, she trusted us to do this,” Ethan said, looking at his son who had a frown on his face, It was like Caleb was regretting tagging along, unlike Daisy who was looking like she was having a great time.“We’re going to do this forever!” Caleb complained.“Let me call someone to help us. Just don’t tell mummy. It will be our secret right?”“Don’t worry, I’m sure Mummy knows we can’t manage on our own!” Ethan roughed Caleb’s hair as he took out his phone to dial Amanda’s line. Amanda, who
“What the hell…” she whispered, her mind racing. Her phone clattered onto the passenger seat, the screen flashing one last time before the battery died.Her fingers fumbled to unbuckle her seatbelt, chest tightening with panic. Whoever had hit her hadn’t gotten out of their car, her heart was pounding wildly in her chest as she continued to fumble with the seat belt but it was stuck. The engine roared to life and the car came on full speed hitting her again. The impact was so much that her head hit the dashboard before everything went blank.…….Pain shot through her forehead as she tried to refocus her sight. She tried to move but her hands were strained. She couldn’t and she was tied to a chair.Again!Rose looked around, panic starting to settle in the pit of her stomach as she looked around, trying to understand the situation or get any clue of where she was but she got nothing.A sound echoed through the empty room and Rose froze trying to focus her hearing. It was dark and she
"Rose, did Ethan and you divorce? I've just seen him on the news. It says he went to pick up the love of his life.” Natalie, Rose's best friend asked.“What are you talking about?” Rose half laughed. “Girl, turn on the news. Now!” Natalie said and cut the line.Rose was sure there was some sort of mistake but when she rushed to the sitting room and turned on the TV, her knees felt weak and her heart sank to her feet.Sure enough, pictures of her husband and a very beautiful woman were trending. The pictures showed how Ethan was looking at the woman with a gentle gaze. With his hand on her waist.Rose's heart sank even further as she felt like someone was pricking her with needles.'He's never looked at me that way,' she mused.Reporters had surrounded them as questions were thrown their way, “What a beautiful couple, is she the mysterious wife you've kept hidden Mr.Sinclair?” One reporter asked.“You two suit each other! A match made in heaven. Do you have any plans for your third a
A soft knock woke Rose as her eyes fluttered open slowly. She had a slight headache from crying the previous day. On her bed was a bouquet of Roses with a note which read, [I’m sorry about yesterday, Happy 3rd Anniversary.] A smile stretched Rose’s face as she lifted the flowers to smell them. She was allergic to Roses which was funny because her name was Rose. But she held them with a full heart, ‘He must have been in such a hurry that he forgot about my allergy.’ she thought just as Ethan walked in. “Good morning,” He said. “Good morning, thank you for the flowers,” Rose responded. Ethan nodded as he sat on the bed, “You wanted to say something to me last night?” Rose’s eyes lit up, all pain forgotten as she placed the rose flowers on the side table and picked up the zip bag where the positive pregnancy test was, “Yes, I have some news. Ethan, I’m-” Her sentence was cut off by a knock on the door. “Just a moment.” She said to him and walked to open it and found that it was A
“Rose, are you sure you’re okay?” Natalie asked.Natalie had rushed over to her house the following day to check on her best friend. She was very worried, especially after seeing the news.Tears formed in Rose’s eyes as she held her best friend's gaze. Words couldn’t form so all she could do was shake her head as the walls came crashing down. “You saw the news, Natalie, My marriage is about to end!” She buried her face in her hands her heart tearing into shreds of pieces. “Because of that bitch? She’s so shameless! Hanging onto a married man like that? Just say the word and I’ll give her a very friendly visit!” Natalie held Rose in her arms.Rose knew her friend was anything but friendly and that made her laugh. She peeled away from her and wiped her tears, “Ethan seems to be still in love with her, I mean you should have seen how he almost flew when she called yesterday!” “And you’re just going to sit and watch her snatch what is yours?” Natalie asked in disbelief.Rose sighed, fe
“How do I look, Ethan?” Rose turned to show Ethan how the dress he had gotten her fitted her perfectly.Rose was shocked when she came back from bathing and found a beautiful black dress lying down on the bed with a note that read:[Wear this.]Her heart swelled with happiness as she searched for a reaction in his eyes. This was the first time Ethan had paid attention to what she was wearing and she wanted to make it count.“Let’s go.” was his grumpy response as he held the door open. Rose felt a bit disappointed but she sucked it up and walked with him to the car. Alfred was already waiting at the entrance, “I’ll drive.” He said as he took the keys and Alfred nodded.“Yes sir, good evening Madam?” Alfred offered Rose a smile and she smiled back.“Hello, Alfred.” Alfred held the door open and Rose stepped into the car. Once Ethan had sat, she turned to face him, “I actually have some very important news to share at Grandpa’s party,” Rose said happily.“What news?” Ethan asked in hi
