“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?” Ethan growled staring daggers at Nathaniel Jacobs...

“I know you’re a powerful man and you can wipe me off the face of the earth, but I also know you’re powerful enough to get me back my life.”

Ethan chuckled darkly, “No shit.”

“I know he’s a pain in the ass but please hear him out. Then decide later.” Micheal pleaded.

“You have five minutes, you better make it count,” Ethan said coldly.

“Well, I don’t think we’ve met officially. My name is Nathaniel Jacobs. I’m Zoe’s father’s friend and her ex-husband” He laughed.

Finding it amusing.

Ethan looked at the guy and he looked younger than he claimed to be. He didn’t look past forty years.

“I know what you may be thinking. But I had surgery. I had to change my face because it was only a matter of time before they found me. In fact, I was going to die earlier than the love of your life. Although I must say you don’t look that heartbroken.” He mocked.

“Just keep talking,” Micheal grunted.

    “I don’t give a damn what the world thinks, Rose. They don’t know you like I do.”She let out a shaky breath, her eyes flickering with doubt. "But it doesn’t matter what you think, Ethan. This—” She gestured to the laptop. “This is out there for everyone to see. Yesterday I was only a simple girl with no attention to her name but look at what’s happening, now the whole city is talking about me and they think I’m a murderer."Ethan felt pained as he looked at Rose, “Do you regret what we did?”“What?”“Do you regret going public about us?” He asked in a half-whisper.Rose pulled away from him, her eyes facing everywhere but him, “I… I don’t know honestly.” “Rose,” “I just want to be left alone, please.”Ethan stood, creating space between them. His jaw was hardened in displeasure, “So this is it?” He gestured with his hands, “One problem and you’re already balling out?”“I’m not balling out, I just need to think alone,” Rose responded defensively.“I just hope you’ll learn to let m

    The office door swung open, and Ethan stormed in. His face was a mixture of rage and worry. His eyes darkened as he saw Rose's broken state, her fragile figure trembling on the carpet floor.He had an emergency board meeting because the stocks crashed after the news went viral. Investors were threatening to pull out if he didn’t end things with Rose but he wasn’t shaken and only gave them an angrier warning to have them replaced within 24 hours. Imagine the shock when he told them the engagement pics were just something they were doing for the sake of going public because they had already been married for over eight years.Ethan did many things but never made empty threats and they knew it. No one would want to partner with Ethan’s enemy, he demonstrated the outcome many times and none of them was strong enough to go up against him. "Rose," he said, his voice deep but a soft whisper. He rushed toward her and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly as if to shield her from the

    “Can I pass through somewhere as you check on what Micheal has to say?” Rose asked when Ethan started driving. He was using a different car that the public didn’t know for her safety. Usually, the Sinclairs used a private number plate for all cars so they would be exempted from so many things. For example, if one of their cars committed a traffic offense, the police would just send that over to their legal department to have it dealt with without stopping the car. Ethan never abused this power but Andrew rubbed it in people’s faces everywhere he went.“Baby, I’m not sure if that’s a good idea.”He looked into the side mirror and saw the people who were still protesting remain behind. He had instructed Tom to use a drone for videos and to take screenshots of every dammed comment online. He vowed to make them pay so that no innocent life would ever have to go through the same kind of pain again. “I’ll be okay, where I’m going is pretty safe. I’ll also use a disguise.” Rose smiled.Et

    “How old were you?” Rose asked while wondering how she knew such secrets.Franchesca laughed. “I was sixteen. We both were. But my mother worked for the Smiths all her life. So she knew things others didn't know. Sometimes I wonder if they're the ones who killed her.”"Your mother told you this?""Yeah, I guess she only trusted me, and since we were around them so much, it was safer to have information you could trade as a safety precaution."“So you became friends with Zoe despite suspecting her parents?” “No, I became friends with her so I could be close enough to investigate. Honestly, I never liked how uptight she was. But after seeing was cruel her parents were with her, I understand why she craved Ethan’s love because he was the only one who showed her care.”“But, the day I met Ethan at the bar, she had rejected him. He was so drunk that he told me everything. Although I didn't need him to. Everyone knew how attached to the hip those two were.”“I love Zoe, but she became o

    “Oh my goodness!” Natalie exclaimed, not knowing what to do.Meeting her father-in-law was not on her do list and she had never experienced it before. “Welcome sir. Please take a seat.” Natalie smiled.“That’s so kind of you.” He responded dryly as his eyes dropped to her growing belly.Natalie felt uncomfortable under his gaze and instinctively grabbed her belly in protection. She walked over to her desk and sat down, sighing in relief at the way the desk was keeping her protected. “Would you like something to drink?” She asked when the room fell silent.Henry smiled, “No, I actually won’t be long. I’ll get straight to the point.”Natalie swallowed.“I need you to break things off with Zane. I don’t need to explain why because I’d like to believe you’re a smart woman. I don’t know what game you’re playing or what you have on him, but he has a girl we’ve picked for him. Someone decent and good for him and the business.” Natalie felt too stunned to speak,Henry reached into his pock

    Zane’s expression darkened instantly. “My father?” His voice dropped a few degrees. “What the fuck did he want?”Natalie swallowed hard. “We made a deal. He wasn’t mean or anything.” She lied but he saw through her.“Natalie.” His voice had a warning tone that made her shift uncomfortably. She didn’t want to cause problems between them. She was the one dying, the last thing she wanted was to turn his family against him.“Zane let’s just-”“If you won’t tell me, I’m still going to find out. Your choice.”“What will you do when you find out and you don’t like the deal we made?”Zane didn’t respond. Luckily for Natalie, the waiter came with their food. He took her plate and cut the stake into small pieces for her and quietly placed it in front of her. Natalie sighed, “Fine. He came to tell me to break things off with you. He’s decided I’m not good enough for you... and that you deserve someone better for the family business.” She paused, studying his face before she continued “He gave

    “Ethan!” Rose giggled as he lifted her off the floor. “Come with me. Amanda and Grandpa will keep Daisy and Caleb busy for two days.” Ethan responded as he walked to the car that was parked outside.“Where are you taking me?” Rose giggled, feeling like a school kid.Things seemed to calm a little although they were still on their toes. Rose took the recording Franchesca gave her to Micheal who proceeded to double-check everything with the forensics and once it was ruled as evidence, they opened the investigation. They had to search and somehow find the owner of the voice in the recording while Zane and Natalie took charge of the comments and tracked each one of them, They worked as a team, where Zane tracked and sent her the names and she made sure to take full-scale defamation lawsuits, civil suits for emotional distress, criminal charges for the death threats, If they had been paid to do it, they were bound to break eventually.“I’m taking you for a break. You need it.” Ethan pla

    “Mummy? When are you coming home? I miss you!” Daisy’s tearful voice pleaded on the other end.Rose wanted to do nothing but to rush home and hug her princess tightly in her arms but she couldn’t. “Mummy will be home soon, she’s at the hospital, okay my angel?”“Are you feeling sick?” It was Caleb who asked.“Not me baby, but Aunt Natalie is.”“Can we come to see her too? Why is she sick Mummy?”“You will see her soon, the doctor hasn’t yet told me. I love you guys, please be good okay?”“Okay, mummy! Can we talk to Daddy?”“He’s inside with Uncle Zane, I’ll tell him to call you when he’s out.” “Okay! Bye mummy,” They said in unison.It was crazy how two little humans could become one’s anchor and give one a strong will to live and overcome anything life threw at you because you wanted them to experience the best version of you. Rose couldn’t imagine life without her children. That is why it was easier for her to understand why Natalie insisted on having the child despite putting h

    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
