Thank you for reading!
“What the hell!” Rose stepped back.Monica smirked, “You ran into me. Now I have to get Zoe a new plate!”Rose was furious. The dress was ruined and it was a gift from her best friend Natalie. Even though she told Ethan She'd buy a dress with his money, Natalie insisted on paying for it instead. She angrily stepped forward and grabbed her by the hair and shoved her into an open bucket that was filled with paint. “Ahhh!” Monica cried.Rose shoved her back and stepped forward, “Try that shit again, and you'll see the worst of me!” Monica cried as she tried to remove the paint from her face. She was in tears as she rushed out of the room barely seeing anything. Shortly after, Tom walked in with a plate of pasta but halted his steps when he noticed that Rose's dress was a mess.“Rose, what happened to you?”“Just bumped into something. It's not a big deal.” She shrugged as she took a seat. Tom placed the plate in front of her before stepping back and saying, “That would have been the
“I’m so-” Rose pulled back to speak but Ethan closed the gap again.This would count as the first kiss they shared since they had gotten married and it was everything Rose dreamed of. Ethan caressed her tongue with his before he deepened the kiss. He held her face in his hands and kissed her like his life depended on it.Their lips met in a rush of heat, the spark between them igniting into a flame while their bodies pressed together. Ethan's hands wrapped around her waist and pulled her even closer as if he wanted to mold them into one.Rose had her arms wounded around his neck as her fingers threaded through his hair. Their lips moved in sync as their heartbeats got even louder. Ethan reached to touch her breasts and feel them in his palm when suddenly, the door opened abruptly making Rose jump from where she sat like a child caught stealing. Ethan glared at the door and a pale Tom was standing with a horrified look on his face. “I’m…. I’m so sorry.” Tom said looking down in shame.
Rose didn't stay to listen to the rest of the conversation, she rushed out and grabbed her purse. Knowing the reporters were still at the entrance, she used the back entrance and rushed into the taxi that was waiting for her. “Where to miss?” The driver asked.“The bubbly hotel,” Rose responded. “Okay, no problem!” The man responded and started the engine.Back in the penthouse, Ethan was losing his patience.“Who told you I'd divorce Rose for Zoe? Or is that what you wish you see?” He asked in a cold tone.Andrew grabbed a glass of wine and shrugged, “That's what it seems like. Otherwise, why would you and father have a contract?”“It's none of your business. But I will make one thing clear, I have no intention of leaving Rose, so if that's the only thing you came to say to me, then I'll take my leave!” Ethan grabbed his coat and walked out.He rushed back to the room he left Rose but he found it empty. A frown crossed his handsome face as he took out his phone,“Tom, where is Ros
The day had finally arrived and Rose felt like a nervous wreck. It was an important day and everything had to be done to perfection. “Have you double-checked the security entail? We have important people attending and the designs are expensive.” Rose said.“Yes, ma'am. I've double-checked and Mr. Sinclair sent over people from Harper Tech and Security.” Kate responded. Rose nodded, not saying any more words. After what she had heard, she decided to never be swayed by him again. No matter what he did for her.“It's only because he's guilty. None of it means anything.” She mumbled to herself. The make-up artist Natalie had brought over did her job and smiled proudly, “I rarely praise myself for a job I've done, but girl you look beautiful!”“She definitely does!” Natalie added as she applied her own lipstick. “I love this! Thank you, Melody.” Rose smiled. Rose wore a white Bob tube top and black pants. She had a special necklace on - it was made of small, shiny stones that went ar
“You do have an eye for business, Mr.Sinclair! This is incredible!” Mr. Quin praised. “Thank you,” Ethan responded flatly. His whole mood had soured Since his last encounter with Zoe. He hated the feeling that was stuffing his chest like he was being suffocated. “Yes, he does!” Zane added as he sipped on his glass of wine. “Why don't you take a look at the other designs and see if any is to your liking?” Tom asked Mr. Quin, noticing how irritated his boss looked. Usually, no one would know what Ethan was feeling because he was so good at Keeping his composure, but this day, anyone who was within his 3-meter radius could tell he was extremely annoyed. “Oh, that’s a great idea!” Mr. Quin chuckled as he walked away with Tom leading the way. Ethan took another glass of wine and drowned it in a second. Zane watched him with worried eyes, “Did something happen?”“No.” Came his flat response. “When Ian returns, I think you should have your head checked, these mood swings are getting w
Rose’s eyes widened at the question. Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest as she moved backward. Ethan only closed the gap with each step she took backward. “I asked you a question.” His deep voice repeated. His alcohol breath fanned her face.“You’re drunk, Ethan. Let me prepare the bed for you.” Rose said as she tried to pass on the side but he grabbed her arm and pulled her back,“Don’t fuck with me, Rose.”Rose felt her blood boil as she pulled her hand away from him with a glare, “You know what, I don’t want to do this with you while you’re drunk. Let’s talk about it tomorrow!” Rose said.Ethan smiled, a cold chilling smile that sent a shiver down her spine. He raised his hands and stepped back, “That’s fine.”Rose released a sign of relief as she watched him descend the stairs, she watched him with a worried expression afraid that he’d fall, so she walked towards him and helped him get to the room. When they arrived, she removed his shoes and pants leaving him with only
“You’re playing a very dangerous game, Rose,” Ethan whispered as he bit her earlobe.Rose was feeling confident all of a sudden as she pushed the towels off the bed, leaving both of them naked. Her eyes landed on Ethan’s shaft, and she swallowed. She had forgotten how gifted he was in those areas. His member was thick and long, veins popping and hard. The sight made a smile spread on her face,So he wanted her too.Ethan flipped them so he was on top of Rose and placed a wet kiss against her collarbone. He began to trail kisses until he was at the center of her chest where he grabbed her breasts and began to move in small circles.Rose felt her breaths stop, and her heart pounded heavily against her chest. It had been so long since she had sex and Ethan had never seen her naked while sober, so she felt nervous. Ethan noticed how uncomfortable Rose had become and placed another kiss on her collarbone before he whispered, “Relax, it’s going to feel good.”His mouth found her nipples an
“Why are you staring at me like that?” Ethan stirred awake as he groaned while sitting up. “Nothing,” Rose said, refusing to meet his gaze. “Is it?” Ethan asked playfully as he pulled Rose back into the bed earning a giggle from her.“Ethan! We need to wake up and talk!” Rose laughed as she tried to loosen his grip.Ethan bit her earlobe as he pressed her back to his front, “Fine, but we need to have lunch with Grandpa too. He wanted to discuss your exhibition results but we can use the chance to share the news too.”Finally pulling away from him, Rose stood from the bed and offered him a smile, “I’ll take a shower then.” “Should I join you?” Ethan asked.Rose shook her head as she walked into the shower, she had a huge smile as she turned on the hot water. Ethan had become a whole new person overnight and she loved it, a part of her wished and prayed that they would stay like that for as long as they could. As she shut the door, Ethan stood and was about to walk into the adjoining

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
