Chapter 94 ~ Not me

The rest of the week went by smoothly without any more disturbances from Ethan. Rose also noticed that he no longer came to their branch anymore. A part of her was disappointed.

“Has he finally given up?” She mumbled to herself as she finalized her latest creation.

She was working on a necklace that would be part of the launch exhibition. The company allocated millions towards her budget to get her the materials she needed, so she was putting in her very best to make it a one-of-a-kind jewelry.

Sighing as she settled for which stone to use, her mind kept going back to the pink diamond Ethan had bought for her the other day. “Why are you still in my head?” She breathed as she looked at the diamond on the computer screen.

It would be extremely fitting to use it but they couldn’t afford it. So she tried to search for something that would be cheaper but none of the other stones made sense.

A knock on her door made her look up before she responded, “Come in.”

    “What happened?” Ethan asked.Rose hesitated.“Rose, this is work and nothing personal you’re going to have to talk so we can work it out,” Ethan said.“I was sure it was you,” Rose responded, feeling defeated. Ethan leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, studying her carefully. “So, if it wasn’t me, who do you think is behind it?”Rose bit her lower lip, thinking. "I don't know. I just assumed... well, you're usually the one who—""—makes your life difficult?" Ethan finished for her, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth."Yes," Rose admitted, feeling a mix of frustration and embarrassment. "But this time, it seems like someone else is trying to sabotage the launch."Ethan’s expression hardened. "I’ve never tried to sabotage your work.”"After what you said last time, I don’t think I’d believe you right now,” Rose responded.“If I’ve done something I wouldn’t hide it from you baby.” Ethan stood.Hearing the word ‘baby’ Made Rose shift uncomfortably as she tried to act unbother

    Ethan's hands roamed her body, his movements so slow as if trying to remind himself how her skin felt when he touched her. Rose's skin burned with desire, her heart racing with anticipation as she threw her head back.Suddenly, Ethan spun her around, his eyes blazing with intensity. "Tell me the truth, Rose," he demanded, his voice low and husky. "Do you miss me?"Rose's lips parted, but no words came out. Instead, she nodded, her eyes locked on his.Ethan's face was inches from hers, his lips claimed hers in a passionate kiss. Rose's body melted into his, her arms wrapping around his neck as she deepened the kiss.The world around them melted away. The kiss was soft and tender. Rose clung to him and pulled him closer, wanting to feel every connection they lost. She slid her fingers through his hair and wrapped her legs around his waist to keep him pressed against her.Their tongues battled for domination as he reached forward and held her waist to hold her in place and deepened the ki

    Rose walked into the police station, her heart pounding in her chest. The cold air had done little to calm her nerves after the whirlwind of emotions inside the office, and now this. She couldn’t help but feel an ominous weight pressing down on her. Her life had gotten so busy that she forgot about the danger that was hovering around her. She asked the officers to keep her out of it because she didn’t want it to affect her kids but receiving a call meant it had gotten serious. Rose felt her knees go weak as she approached the front desk, a uniformed officer greeted her with a polite nod. "Good afternoon, ma'am. How can I assist you?"Rose swallowed, her voice wavering slightly. "I'm here to see Detective Michael. He called me... said it was urgent."The officer checked his records, and then he asked, “Your name please.”“Rose Cooper,” Rose answered.“Rose Cooper Sinclair?” The officer corrected as if to taunt her.The mention of her married name made her flinch, but feeling like there

    “Shouldn't he be behind bars for murder then, has the law become selective now?” Rose sniffed still in denial.“Since it was self-defense, no. He's on the right side of the law. But would that have been your preference? To see your husband arrested?” Micheal asked. Rose was stunned as the word ‘Husband’ made her insides turn.But before she could respond, a deep voice answered behind her, “Will you visit me every day if I get arrested?” “Ethan?” “Mr.Sinclair.” “I didn't know you called my wife over without letting me know,” Ethan commented. His tone sounded displeased and made the detective shift uncomfortably. “My apologies, it won't happen again.” The Detective responded.Rose looked from Ethan to Micheal and back to Ethan, “You knew?”“Yes, but I didn't want to stress you. I'll handle it. Come, Daisy is waiting.”Rose felt her stomach drop. How did her daughter find herself in Suncity?“Why is she with you?”“She wanted to learn how to skate, that town is nice but has no prop

    “What are you doing here?” Zoe fumed as she stood from where she sat.She was now three months pregnant and still staying in the penthouse Ethan gave her. She had a smug look as she walked towards Rose and rubbed her belly as if to rub it in her face. Rose ignored her and stepped forward. She knew Zoe too well and on her way here, she had thought through all the possible scenarios of how the conversation would go down but none of them prepared her for how she would feel when she saw the baby growing inside her.“Is it truly Ethan’s?” Zoe laughed, “What? You can’t believe it? I told you. It’s me he’s always loved. You were just an inconvenience and now we have been reunited. Don’t tell me you came back because you think he’ll take you back!”“I wouldn’t dream of it,” Rose responded with an eye roll.“Good, because I’m starting to think you’re becoming so desperate with the way you’re faking those unfortunate events.” A mockery in Zoe’s tone made Rose boil in anger. “You think I put m

    Zoe’s breath hitched as she stumbled back, her eyes widening in shock and terror. The masked man stepped inside, his presence dominating and suddenly a large space felt too small. She clutched the knife in her hand, her knuckles white with the force of her grip. "Who sent you?" she demanded, her voice trembling despite her efforts to sound strong. "What do you want?"The masked man didn’t answer. Instead, he took slow, deliberate steps toward her, his gloved fingers flexing as if warming up for an early morning exercise. His silence was more terrifying than any words he could have spoken.“Was it Rose?” She trembled. She hid the phone behind her hoping Franchesca would open her voicemail on time. “You don’t get to ask questions, sweetheart.” He took another step forward.Zoe’s heart pounded in her chest, her mind racing with desperate thoughts. She couldn’t put a finger on who sent the man before her. No matter how much she tried, she had too many people she had offended and couldn’

    “Is Mr. Harper in?” Natalie asked David, his assistant.“Yes, he is,” David responded with a hidden smile.Zane had always been reserved and never wanted any women around him. At a certain point, the media even tagged him as gay and suspected that he and David were a couple. Seeing him obsess over Natalie relieved the pressure of constantly planning his blind dates. Natalie smiled at David and said, “Thank you.” She bypassed his station and knocked softly at the door. Her face was beat red from how embarrassed she was from the previous week’s encounter. He ended up paying for the clothes and her mother having no shame insisted on getting more if he didn’t mind, so Zane left Natalie with his black card because his father called him for an urgent matter.As soon as he left, she snapped at her mother and they had a fight which led to them being thrown out of the shop.Natalie let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding as the deep voice answered from behind the door.“Enter.”She

    “I threatened your pregnant fiance or whatever you and Zoe are,” Rose said coldly.“You threatened her to stay away from me?” Ethan asked, amused that Rose was now stronger than she was years back.It was rare for Rose to speak her mind let alone confront someone.“You think it’s funny?” Rose glared at him.“No, I think it’s hot and I just might have a shot at winning my wife back.”“In your dreams!” “Daisy would disagree!” Ethan protested. But Rose didn’t answer that. She couldn’t bring herself to respond for fear of saying the wrong thing, that might give him a hint that she was his real daughter until she was certain he wouldn’t take the kids away.They were in the showroom where they had a list of models that needed to be approved as the ones who were going to wear the jewelry they were launching. Rose looked at her watch. They still had an hour before the models started coming in.“Why are you even here? Need a new toy to play with?” Rose asked as she pretended to be unbothered

    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
