last update Last Updated: 2024-11-24 14:17:48

~Rosemary~

I couldn't stop thinking of what Gerald said to me about proposing a prenuptial agreement. He sounded so sure that Max wanted me for my money. But Max was a billionaire, right?

Right?

I took out my phone and searched for the name of Max’s company. A few headlines came up.

The first one: Brix Cars to get new CEO

The second: Max Smith resigns from the CEO position. Would this mark the end of the family’s hold on the company?

The third: Brix Cars reportedly plunges into 30 billion-dollar debt.

My jaw dropped lower with each headline I read. I had no idea that Max’s business was suffering this much, let alone the fact that he was no longer the CEO.

Why didn't he tell me? Did this mean Gerald was right?

Well… there's only one way to find out.

I pulled out my phone and called the number saved under legal. “Erm… I’d like to draft a prenuptial agreement.”

*****

“What’s this?” Max frowned the second I handed the document to him.

I kept my distance, a little scared. “Since we are goi

    ~Rosemary~It was already past closing hour for most jobs, but my lawyer agreed that I come in to start the process. On the way, my phone dinged.A notification from the doorbell camera had just come in. I opened it and saw the live footage of Amani’s car pulling up in the driveway of Max's house.What’s she doing there? And immediately I just left too.I watched as Amani got out of her car. Max showed up from the inside. They spoke for a while. I thought they were arguing again. But then…“Oh, my God!” I screamed the second Max kissed Amani.“Ma’am,” said the taxi driver. “Are you okay?”I covered my mouth, shaking as Amani and Max made out on the porch. They looked like they wanted to gobble each other up. Max even grabbed her ass and squeezed it. Then they staggered into the house, still not letting each other go.“Ma’am, is anything the matter?”Hearing the taxi driver’s voice again, I raised my head. “Please, can you take my back? I will pay double.”He looked at me through the r

    ~Gerald~“Seize them!” I roared the second I kicked the door open.All six of my men matched in and surrounded Max and Amani. They struggled but were pinned down within seconds.I squatted by the door, seeing Rosemary lying down.“Baby!” I scooped her up.She smiled at me. “You are here.”When she coughed out blood, I held her face. “Shh! Don't say anything. Let’s get you to the hospital.”“Wait!” Rosemary reached out and held my face. “I’m sorry for not believing you. Sorry, I realized too late.”“No! It’s not too late.”“I’m afraid it is.” She smiled again. “If I were to come back to this world again, I’d love to be your woman again. I would love to know love like you love me. To love you and be loved by you, Gerald. Just by reading your words, I realized that you are the man I always dreamed of having as a child.”She rubbed my face. “Promise me that we will meet in another life? Promise me that you will look at me the way you are looking at me right now.”“No! I can't promise you

    ~Rosemary~Gerald’s head shot up as soon as I spoke. His eyes lit up and then, I felt his body crushing mine.“You are back!” he said, kissing my face. “What took you so long?”He pulled back and held my face. “Oh, my God! You scared the shit out of me. Don't do that again, okay?”I chuckled. “Okay, Mr. Beckett.”“I was so worried about…” His words trailed off. “Wait, what did you just call me?”I shrugged, “Mr. Beckett?”“You…you remember me?”I nodded. “I remember everything, Gerald. I am sorry that—”Before I could finish speaking, he knocked the breath out of me with a hard kiss. I smiled against his lips and then parted mine.Until now, I didn't know how much I had missed his lips on mine. As always, it felt like heaven. I held his strong arm despite the pain in the back of my hand due to the IV needle.“Catch your breath,” Gerald said, pulling back after like a minute.“What?” I chuckled again.“I’m not done yet. Just breathe.”I did as he said. And the second I was no longer g

    ~Rosemary~The clock on the wall struck eleven and with that, I chewed my lower lip. I picked up my phone again and texted, "Where are you, honey? Are you all right?" It was way past closing hour, but he wasn't back home yet. I had called him numerous times, yet I hadn't heard a word from him.As I sat on the sofa in the living room, I stared blankly at the wedding picture on the wall opposite. In the picture, the smile on my face couldn't have been brighter, but my husband's smile was rather frozen.It had been two years since we got married. Although it wasn't a bed of roses, it was peaceful for the most part. Max and I barely argued. But I guess you could say it's because he was rarely at home. I only saw him sometimes in the mornings and at night.However, today was the first time he was staying out this late. Since I saw on the news that a car accident happened on the same route Max took everyday, I had been dead worried. As I took a deep breath, I felt a sharp cramp in my lower

    ~Rosemary~"I see that you can still read," he said between mouthfuls. "Sign it.""What! You want to divorce me? How? Why?" I choked.Max's lips turned up with disgust. "Why are you acting so surprised, Rosemary? You are not my type. I only dated you because I was bored and you wouldn’t let me be. I should never have married you. You disgust me. So, sign that and get the fuck out of my house!"I gasped, seeing my whole world crumbling before my eyes. Sure, I didn’t look my best now: I was unable to dress up nicely at home when I was pregnant before. I chose what made me comfortable instead of making me look nice, though my body’s still kept in good shape.Was Max avoiding me because of this? But I never thought he would ask for a divorce. Since he knew that I wasn’t his type, why did he have unprotected sex with me months ago? Why did he pester me to get pregnant because his mother was asking for grandkids? For Pete's sake, I was carrying his child!"Max, is this a prank? Have you

    ~Rosemary~A beeping sound replayed in my head an annoying number of times. The air around me felt so cold that goosebumps pricked my skin.I opened my eyes slowly, only to be blinded by the light. When I opened them again, I saw a white ceiling.Where was I? Wasn't I at home? Was I lying down? Why? What happened to me?A dozen questions ran through my mind. I looked around, trying to figure out where I was. But nothing around was recognizable.Suddenly, my eyes fell on a heart rate monitor. It was what was making that annoying beeping sound. Oh, God! Was I in the hospital?"You are awake!" a voice suddenly interrupted my thoughts.I looked in the direction it came, only to find two smiling nurses walking through the door."Where am I? What happened to me?"The first nurse stood at the foot of the bed. "You got hit by a car. You've been in a coma for hours."Hearing that, my memory came rushing like a flood. I remembered running after Max in the dead of the night. I also remembered th

    ~Rosemary~"You are having sex with my twin sister while I just lost our baby?" Max raised his voice. "What else do you want me to do? How am I even sure the pregnancy was mine? We don’t meet often, after all.""It was yours! I never cheated on you, Max. And you know it!" I yelled, my chest tightening. The slapping sound got louder as Max roared, "I don’t care! Sign the divorce agreement and send it over. I'll send your belongings. Also, don't ever call this number again!"With that, he hung up.Tears blurred my vision as I stared at the phone screen in horror. What did I do to deserve such cruel treatment? It was as if history was repeating itself as I used to catch them having sex in our chemistry lab before, in high school. But this time, it was more painful. Max was inside my twin sister while I was battling for my life and that of our son. Worst of all, he was happy I miscarried and even accused me of cheating.He used to buy me flowers to beg for my forgiveness.How did he

    ~Rosemary~I woke up to find an unfamiliar ceiling above me. It took me a good minute to realize that I was no longer in Max's house. I touched my belly which was once warm with life. But now, it was just cold and flat. I choked on a sob, missing all the mornings I spent checking out my baby bump in the mirror.Although the last thing I wanted to do was to face Max and Amani, I knew that my mother wouldn’t have invited me in the first place if there wasn’t something important. I had to go to find out what it was.I went into the bathroom after dragging myself out of Gerald’s bed. Yes, I slept in his bedroom while he volunteered to spend the nights on his living room sofa. We were occupied by my luggages these days, sorting them and placing them well. It was tiring but better than attending the shitty party I was going to later today. Everything’s hard, but luckily, I had Gerald to be with me. I didn’t even know how to thank him.I scrubbed my body hard in hopes it would wash a

    ~Gerald~I slammed the door in his face. Before turning away, I listened as he stormed off, huffing and puffing about how I was making a huge mistake.“Before you say anything…” I began, looking at Elvis. “Get on the phone with the Russian mafia. I’m sure they would be pleased to know that Angel showed up here.”“No!”“What?” I exclaimed on the way to grab a glass of water.Elvis shook his head. “I don't think it’s a good idea to get involved in the battle between Angel and them. Time and time again, this has always ended with a bloodbath. It was hard enough for you to stay alive all these years despite having many enemies. I can't watch you get involved in a mafia war just because you want to take Angel down.”I sighed. “What do you suggest I do then?”“I suggest we wait. We wait for them to locate Angel and take him out. Since he's roaming without a care in the world, that should be pretty easy.”I shook my head with uncertainty. As far as I knew, Angel was much more powerful than m

    ~Rosemary~“Boss, are you okay? Boss!” Elvis ran to me as soon as the phone dropped from my hand. He made me sit on the sofa and peered down at my face.His tone changed. “Gerald, are you okay? Should I call the doctor?”I shook my head, clutching my chest. It was as if I was going to have a heart attack. But I knew going to the hospital won't help me.“Was that Rosemary on the phone? What did she say? Why are you like this?”I looked at him. “I don't know what to do, man. She’s getting married to Max again.”“What! How…but your divorce hasn't being finalized. You didn't sign the divorce papers, did you?”“I didn't. But now that she doesn't remember me or the love we shared, I’m afraid Max would make her drag me to court for the divorce. He's manipulating her big time.”I went on to tell him about the wedding photo Rosemary found and how she accused me of faking it and planting it in Max’s house.“This is getting out of hand. Should I tell the boys to take him out?”I groaned. “No. T

    ~Rosemary~“H-how is this… how did this…”I couldn't believe my eyes at all. I stared at the woman standing beside Max. She was wearing a very beautiful wedding dress. Most importantly, she wasn't me!She looked like me, but she wasn't me. She was Amani. I was sure of it!“So it’s true? What that man said is true! Max divorced me so he could be with Amani?”The photo slipped off my hands. Taking a step back, I stared down at it. “They even had a wedding. But why did Max propose to me two days ago? And Amani was so happy for me!”What the fuck is going on? Who's playing me for a freaking fool!All of a sudden, the door opened. I turned and saw Max. His eyes widened at the sight of me. He looked at my feet, and his eyes widened even more.“Care to explain?” I asked, folding my arms.I was trying so hard to keep it together. Heaven knows I wanted to jump at him and scratch his face. Another part of me also wanted to just break down crying. This moment reminded me of the heartbreak I su

    ~Rosemary~Call me insecure, but something didn't sit right about this meeting. First, because Amani showed up here at night. And second because for as long as I could remember, Amani had a thing for Max.She even snatched him from me when we were in high school. It was a miracle that we got married. Was she trying to snatch him yet again?But seeing this beautiful ring now, I realized what a fool I had been. Why did I think that the puppy dating they had in school still meant anything to Max after all the love I showed him since Amani left for college?“Yes!” I screamed, putting out my hand. “I will marry you, Max Smith!”“Really?” Max asked, his eyes lighting up.I nodded vigorously. After he slipped the ring on my finger, I raised my hand and looked at it. The rock was much bigger than the one he gave me when we first married. By the looks of it, it was probably worth millions.“You shouldn't have!” I said, tearing up.Max pulled me into a hug. “You deserve the very best, my love.

    ~Max~The cold was biting hard. Standing on the lawn, I listened to Amani as she went on and on about her grievances.Just two weeks ago, she had asked for a divorce. I knew it was because of my current financial woes. It hurt a lot that she wanted to leave me. But I begged.I begged her like I had never begged anyone before. She was my life!“I will stay on one condition. Get me everything that Rosemary has,” she had said.At the time, I thought that would be impossible considering the fact that Rosemary hated my guts. But after I received that call ordering me to come to the hospital because my “wife” was admitted there, I thought maybe…maybe it wasn't impossible after all.Although I suspected that Amani had a hand in Rosemary’s accident, I didn't dare to ask her that or even tell Rosemary the truth. I was going to do anything to make Amani stay with me.She agreed to leave the house for a while so I could make Rosemary comfortable with me. The plan was to make her transfer all he
