“What are you doing here?” Rose's voice called from behind and Georgina flashed her one of her fake smiles.

“Do I need a reason to see my children?”

Rose snorted at that. She knew Georgina and Jane hated her. They just pretended to be good around her even though they'd slander her behind her back. Three years was a long time for someone to hide their true colors.

“Well, I'm sorry. Ethan has gone for a meeting and I'm heading out.”

“Oh really?” Georgina smiled mischief in her tone. “Where are you going? I heard you visit the hospital quite often these days.”

Rose's gaze landed on the documents and sighed in relief when she noticed they were as she left them. She grabbed them before responding,

“I have allergic reactions. It's nothing serious. I'm sorry but I need to go now.”

“Oh right. No problem, I understand. You know Father gave me an earful this morning about how I should be a better mother.” She leaned closer and whispered, “He has eyes on me you know.”

“I see,”

    Ethan stepped forward, his face frowning, “What are you doing here?”'Is he so shocked to see me because he was hoping to have a private time with the love of his life?'Rose snorted, “I'm shopping obviously, it's a store, what would I be doing?”“Oh I see, well I-” “Ethan! Have you seen this type?” Zoe shouted as she came to where Rose was standing, a smirk crossed her lips when she met Rose's gaze, “Hello, Rose! I'm sorry, did I inconvenience you by asking for Ethan's help?” But Rose was way beyond Zoe's manipulation and had no energy left to pretend. “I'm having a conversation with my husband, I'd appreciate it if you excuse us!” Zoe's mouth hung open and her heart boiled. She fumed in her chest and wanted to wipe out Rose. But she quickly recovered and gave a fake smile, “Of course!” Once she had stepped back, Rose glared at Ethan, “You delayed approving the payments for my exhibition materials because you went shopping with your precious Zoe?”“Shit!” Ethan's brows met as he

    “Ethan, I’m going to be late!” Rose tried to move away but he kept her locked in place. “Then, you’d better change faster!” He commented as he moved back and created some space between them. Holding her wrist securely in his hand, he pulled Rose along with him back to the bedroom. Instead of the shorts and jacket, Rose wore, he pulled out a white smart shirt and a pink pencil skirt that had a golden chain falling in the front. He held it up, pride in his eyes, “You’ll look beautiful in this!”Rose raised her eyebrow but she didn’t want to argue with him especially because she was already late for her planned meeting. “I hope you’re sure about this.”“Don’t you trust me?” Ethan teased but Rose didn’t answer as she took the outfit and changed. A few minutes later, she had changed and emerged back into the room. Ethan was on a phone call when he turned and saw how beautiful Rose looked.He was speechless for a second, “Hello? Sir,?” Tom called out.“Let me call you back.” Ethan said

    “Just let me die!” Zoe screamed as she pushed away from Ethan who was holding onto her. “Stop talking nonsense!” Ethan scolded but it only made her cry even louder, “My heart beats for you Ethan, if you leave me what will my reason to live be?” She sobbed into his shirt. “I won't leave you.” Ethan's voice was soft as he responded, sending a million bullets straight to Rose's heart. Rose stood, frozen to the spot Her eyes were blurring as she tried to hold her tears Her heart clenched painfully as the scene replayed in her head over and over again. Back in the room, Zoe cried even louder, “I used to be your world, Ethan. The reason your heart was beating. But it seems I've been holding onto this love on my own!” Her eyes were now red and her face was swollen from crying. Zoe felt like she had lost her grip and the effect she had on Ethan. He never prioritized her the way he used to and it made her heart boil. “Isn't my kindness towards you enough?” “ I don't want your kindnes

    “Oh my sweet sweet girl, I missed you so much!” Aunt Marie hugged Rose tightly. Because of the distance and how demanding it was being Ethan’s wife and running a start-up, Rose rarely had time to go on a day’s trip late alone go on a vacation. “I missed you too, so much!” Rose fought the urge to cry, she didn’t want to worry her Aunt.After losing her parents at such a young age, Rose was always reserved and rarely showed it when she didn’t like something. She had been mistreated by her father’s sister before Aunt Marie took her in. She was fifteen when she was taken and had already built a wall around herself to protect her heart.The wall that only Ethan had access to without even trying.She peeled away as they walked arm-in-arm. They got in a taxi and it took them home. “How is everything going? You look well.” Marie said as they sat in the kitchen.Marie’s house wasn’t as grand as Ethan's and was small. It had a small kitchen, a small dining, and only two bedrooms.But Rose lo

    “Oh, I see you've already met Ethan!” Marie Chirped happily when Rose stepped out with Ethan following her closely. A few hours had passed and Rose had finally said goodbye. Ethan stayed by her side the entire time. “Yes, I did,” Rose responded but what Marie said next stopped her in her tracks. “ I used to worry about you since the marriage was rushed. But seeing Ethan take care of you puts my heart at peace! I mean look at how he cleaned your parent's grave!” Rose's eyes widened as she turned to look at him, “You cleaned the grave for me?” Ethan gave her a sad smile, “I'm sorry I didn't do it sooner.”Rose was shocked. what happened to being Zoe's lifeline and putting her needs first before anyone else? If her memory saved her right, she left him at the hospital so she wondered what time he drove here and how did he know about the graveyard.“How did you know where I was?”“When I got home you were not there and Natalie had not seen you either. So I assumed you were visiting y

    “Mason?” Rose smiled faintly when she reached where he stood. Mason stood with a smile on his face. His eyes shined when he saw Rose but his face changed when he saw Ethan following behind. He had read the article about Zoe and in it was a mysterious Billionaire who paid for her private treatment. He knew it was him and he hated him for it. To Mason, he didn’t deserve to be with Rose.“Hello Rose, I’m sorry for intruding. I was nearby and decided to drop by.”Rose was surprised that Mason knew where her aunty stayed. But what shocked her even more was how he knew she was around, “No, It’s fine. But how did you know that I was here?”John chuckled behind them, “I met him and told him. But he already knew you’d be here so it seems he already had plans to visit anyway! It’s great to you again, how are your parents?”“They’re very fine, sir. They send their regards!”“Oh, how I’ve missed Miranda’s pies! They were legendary, I haven’t tasted a pie so good in a long time!” Marie added as Jo

    Mason noticed how tense the atmosphere became and didn’t want to cause problems for Rose, so he smiled. “There is no need to walk me out, I’ll be fine.”“Are you sure?”“Of course. Take care, Rose. Mr. Sinclair,” Mason acknowledged as his tall frame walked out.The moment Rose heard the car drive out, she turned and glared at Ethan, “What the hell is your problem!” “The fact that you keep leading him on is my problem,” Ethan responded in an accusatory tone which only made Rose even more upset.“What the hell are you even talking about? Leading him on?” Rose laughed at how ridiculous it all sounded. “Yes! The man likes you it’s so obvious and now what? You even have appointments together?” Ethan scoffed like it was such an absurd thing.But Rose had enough, she wasn’t going to let him kick out everyone who genuinely cared about her, “Are you jealous that someone cares enough to help me with my allergy?”“Did you tell him about it to rub it in my face?”“What? You’re so sick Ethan! Yo

    “I bet the card will decline!” Willow giggled, “Tinashe, I hope you're getting a good view of this! She needs to learn to know her place!”“Of course girl! The whole city knows only Zoe can afford it. That's why only one was released. Probably waiting for her and this bitch wants to pretend like she has some bucks!” Rose, didn't even bother responding to them. She just looked at the sales girl and smiled, “Don't worry. It won't decline. Go on!”The girl nodded and swiped. Rose took the swipe machine and entered the pin.Willow and Tinashe stood shocked with jaws on the floor. Tinashe was still holding the phone and recording the incident but couldn't believe the payment had just gone through. “I guess that's enough for you to shut your mouths ey? Busy up in people's business!” Rose took the shopping bag. “Thank you miss!” The girl smiled but Willow wasn't having it. How could a nobody like Rose afford such expensive items? She folded her arms across her chest and blocked her way,

    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
