Damon's POVFuck!What have I done? I was about to screw my step daughter again. First time could be considered a mistake but then if it happens again, it's definitely not a mistake.I strolled all the way to my room, regretting my decision to come over despite everything.I should have stayed away.But how could I?My body reacted to everything about Rosette, the way she moves, her lips, her eyes. I was attracted to her whole body and soul.But this was so wrong.So damn wrong.Despite getting out of the shower, half an hour ago, I grabbed a towel and walked into the bathroom again. I needed to blow off some steam and only a cold shower can do that for me.I turned the shower on as the cold water cascaded all over my body, as I closed my eyes all I could see was Rosette's face, the disappointment she had on her face made me extremely guilty.I shouldn't have pushed her into this and then I was taking it away just like that..I exhaled loudly while turning off the shower as I came to
Rosette POVAward of the most stupid teenager that ever existed, must go to me! I mean, who else?Because I mean, how much more stupid can I be? I groaned for the twentieth time while rolling on the bed.My stomach was rumbling on and on and I was famished, but I didn't want to go downstairs. I couldn't bear to stand with Damon in the same room anymore.As if the Lord heard my prayers, I heard the car sound coming from the garage and I shot out of the bed running to the window to see who it was.A sigh escaped my lips as I watched Damon drive out of the garage and it felt like a part of me had been taken away from me.It was a crazy feeling that I couldn't explain but one thing was for sure, I was completely relieved.With Damon gone, I found my way downstairs to the dining table where the box of pizza was waiting patiently for me, my stomach grumbled once again at the sight of it and a small chuckle escaped my lips.I dashed into the kitchen to get a plate when my phone beeped, and
Chapter 8: Damon’s POV “Suzie, everything will be fine, you just have to take it easy, okay?” I said comforting Susan.Few hours past noon, I was laying on the couch after responding to all my emails when Susan walked in, almost in tears. This was the first time in ages that Susan was returning back from work at that time. Immediately i rushed to her and she broke down in tears, turns out the deal she was working on didn’t pull through.“I put in so much work into this baby, so many sleepless nights, and now all my efforts are now in vain, what am I supposed to do?” she added, sobbing against my chest.“We will sort it out my love, we will figure it out so please stop crying now, i have told you before, you don't have to do all this, we can live comfortably and you don't have to work at all” I replied.“Damon what are you saying? You know my work is everything to me, I have built all this with my sweat, I can't step back now” Susan countered.Of course.Her work was her everythi
Damon's POV."You..." I stuttered, turning to face Susan as she closed the distance between us. Fuck no. What do I say to Susan now? All the hairs on my body stood as she moved closer to me. "You are here? It's strange," she added again, without taking her eyes off me. I felt like she was scanning my face, waiting for me to make a mistake. "Em, I was passing, and I noticed the door was left open, and then I got curious to see what her setup looks like. It's nothing serious," the words slipped out of my mouth as I started moving toward the door before Susan could throw another question, but then she caught up with me. "Can I ask you something, Damon?" "Do I have a choice?" I threw back at her, my tone sounding harsh. "Damon..." "You can ask whatever it is you want to," I added again. "Tell me, have you ever been in here before?" Susan demanded. "What?" "I mean, is this your first time being in Rose's room?" She asked again. What do I say? "Yes, that is exactly why I was curi
Chapter 10Rosette POV"Rose...?" "Yes, it's me, why are you so surprised to see me?" I threw back at him while drinking in his entire body.But Damon wasn't reacting, almost like he was frozen and couldn't move.I clicked my tongue taking a step forward and it pulled Damon back to earth."You shouldn't be here, what are you doing here?" He asked again, as he turned off the shower.A small chuckle escaped my lips as I crossed my arms over my chest while leaning on the door."What's the hurry?" I asked, referring to the way he grabbed the towel."Are you out of your mind Rose?""Out of my mind? You know I have seen you, I mean I have had you in me, nearly twice, you don't have to be shy step daddy" I drawled out.I know I wasn't supposed to be flirting with him, not after he drew a line, but I couldn't help it.Damon was acting all tense and I expected he would reply to my tease but then he just tried to hide the phone."I want to see," I demanded."What are you talking about?" Damon
Rosette's POV"You are the one I love, Rose. I cannot be your mother anymore; I want to be with you all my life," Damon said to me, taking my hands with tears in his eyes."What are you saying, D?" I asked, my voice shaking; I was literally trembling."You heard me, Rose. I cannot continue to lie to your mother, and I do not want to stay away from you any longer. I want you, Rose; I need you in my life," Damon added again.The rate at which my heart was beating felt like it was going to jump out of my chest. Damon was professing his love for me. But what will happen to my mother? She will be heartbroken beyond words; I wouldn't be able to do that to her. She is my mother, for goodness' sake, and I know how crazy she is about Damon."Please... I can't do this, Damon; I'm sorry," I whispered, and then he kissed me.Instantly, my eyes shot open, and I sat upright, placing a hand on my chest to calm my racing heart, but it wasn't working."Damon," I muttered as my eyes adjusted to the da
Rosette's POVI grabbed a box of juice and cookies from the fridge before walking out of the house. Damon was already in the car, waiting for me. I was surprised that, despite my reaction earlier, he still insisted on driving me to school. He was really fulfilling his role as my DADDY. Sighs.I got into the car, and within minutes, we were on the highway. The silence was thick and uncomfortable as I kept my gaze fixed outside, trying to find this pathetic city attractive."Rose, you know we don't have to do this, right?" Damon started, breaking the silence in the car."Do what?" I asked in response."It's your birthday, for goodness' sake, and it looks like we are mourning. We should be happy; I mean, you should be happy and full of smiles," Damon added with a smile on his face, but he didn't take his eyes off the road.I was still trying to process his words. How could he switch up so easily? I literally gave him an attitude, and then I acted cold towards him, and yet he was still
Damon's POV.It's almost six and neither Susan nor her tempting daughter Rose was yet to arrive.She made me pull off this entire surprise party for Rosette but now she wasn't here and she wasn't taking her calls either.Work was taking a toll on her and I just wanted her to feel better, that is why I agreed to execute the whole plans she has for the party as long as she shows up, but now, I doubt she will be able to.She was supposed to be here by morning but then I got no call from her nor did I see her. I only lied to Rose to cover up so she doesn't get mad at her mom but she kept acting in a strange way.She even made me promise not to leave her mother and I couldn't help but wonder what the reason could be.I tried calling Susan one more time and it went straight to voicemail.A sigh escaped my lips as I scanned the entire living room taking in the mini decorations I was able to pull out.The cake was ready, Pizza, and all of Rosette's favorite cookies and chocolates. I wanted Ro
Rosette POV.When I opened my eyes again, darkness greeted me, I had to close my eyes and open it again to adjust to my surroundings.Thousands of questions ran through my mind as I opened my mouth to speak.Or rather test my ability to speak, because it felt like I have been numb for months.The memories of the last events flooded my head as I wrapped my stomach instantly.I'm pregnant.Damon wasn't welcoming about the news and so I left the house.I went over to meet Rowland and on my way back home, waiting for a ride, I ended up....here.In a dark room.Before I could think of anything else, the door burst open followed by light and three tall men, their faces covered with masks but they didn't look threatening.Due to the light that came from outside I could finally see where I was in.A room.A decent room with a small bed, a table and chair on the other side and a waste bin at the door side."Inform the boss, she is awake" I heard one of them say."What?" I gasped, shocking myse
Damon's POV Silence.For the next one minute I couldn't speak.My grip on the steering wheel tightened as I swallowed hard.For a second it felt like I couldn't breathe.Rowland knows!She told him.And then it registered, even though she told him, she didn't say my name, and that is the reason he's so comfortable sitting in my car and not hating me."Shit! I shouldn't have said that but if she isn't home then there is no other place she would have gone to" he continued....."Damon...are you listening to me?" Rowland called out, pulling me out of my thoughts."Yeah..em...what are you talking about Rowland?" I asked, clearing my throat as I adjusted uncomfortably on the seat.My heart beating fast against my chest, like it was going to jump out right and all my secrets would be exposed."You shouldn't be hearing this from me, but Rose is pregnant" He said, shaking his head, looking out of the window."And how did you know about this?" I threw back at him."She came over like I said a
Damon's POV That hit me real hard.I saw it coming but hearing it being said, out in the open was different.And yet I still couldn't ponder over it, as I just kept thinking about Rose.It was late already, there was no logical reason why she would be out by this time.Well except..Fuck.I hope Rose hasn't done something crazy.There and there, the guilt I felt in my heart for not going after her earlier doubled.I started regretting all my past actions and it just hit me that I would have done a lot better."You lied to me, you deceived me and you took advantage of my daughter, that's enough basis to file for a divorce" Susan continued, glaring at the frames, directing all her anger on it."We don't have to file for a divorce, it's a mutual agreement, and I think we should save ourselves the time and...""It's so easy for you to get rid of me right?" She shot at me."No...Susan...this is what you want and...""Is it really what I want?""Susan, our marriage failed, this has nothing
Damon's POV."For the first time ever Damon, I'm begging you to tell me that I'm over reacting and this isn't what it looks like" Susan continued, her voice sounded so detached and cold.I raised my head, looking upstairs with only one question in my mind, did Rose do this?Was this her best way of exposing the truth??"You don't have to worry, your lover, or the other woman, which happens to be my daughter, isn't home yet." Susan said, reading my expressions."Susan..." I started, dropping my bag on the floor, walking closer to her."Stop right there Damon!" She barked and I froze."Let me explain..." I tried again."What do you want to say? Okay let's start with the secret art room that was in this house, why didn't you tell me about it??" She questioned."It wasn't important," I answered."It wasn't important? But apparently that was your den! The same place you fucked my daughter in and painted her right??" She threw back at me."Please don't talk about Rose like that, look... I'
Damon's POV"Fuckkk"I screamed, throwing the glass against the wall. Everything was in shambles now.Every single thing!At that moment, I wished, hoped and prayed for a way. A way to probably undo everything and not hurt Rose the way I just did.She was pregnant.A baby for me.And all I could do was look her in the eyes and tell her to abort it. Why??Because I was too scared.Too stubborn to give into my feelings for her.And now, I have lost her for good.Not just her but my baby."Are you willing to let go of her?" My consciousness pricked me badly.Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to.And that was pathetic of me.I wanted her.I Wanted her. And above all, I love her.But I still can't have her, so I stayed away, but staying away wouldn't fix this mess.And I have to do everything I can to protect her and my baby.And that includes telling Susan the truth.Susan should hear it from me first, and I know she would be hurt, but Rose is her daughter so there has to be a way
Rosette's POV Rowland burst into a sadistic laughter as he walked back into the kitchen to dispose of the broken pieces of glass."Is that some sort of a joke? Are you trying to pull a prank on me, Rose?" He asked again, walking back as he sat down on the couch facing me, with a smile on his face.A joke.Exactly what my life has turned out to be, I'm now a freaking joke."It's not a joke Rowland, I'm pregnant and no it's not for Caleb and you cannot tell him about this" I answered, with a serious tone."What are you ever saying to me right now Rose? You are pregnant..?" He repeated, the smile faltering from his face.Probably the seriousness on my face made him realise that this wasn't a prank."I just found out a few hours ago, I had no idea what to do and...""You were cheating on Caleb?" Rowland spat out again, rising from the couch."I...""Was it a one night thing? If you aren't pregnant for Caleb, who is responsible for it then??" Rowland asked again, there was a shift in his
Rosette's POV.I made it out of the building, with my head bowed and my face teary. Despite how many times Damon's secretary called me, I ignored her running out of the building.I knew without a doubt that there would be questions in everyone's mind, especially those present at the reception area, but it wasn't my cross to carry.Damon would deal with it, after all he was good at taking care of things. Luckily for me, there was a cab right outside the building and I slid in immediately, closing the door with a loud bang which must have scared the driver."Please drive" the words escaped my lips faintly.The cab driver hesitated for a second, looking at me through the rearview mirror with a worried look on his face...like he pitied me or something."Charris Avenue, house twenty" I added, giving him an address."Miss...you...""Can you please fucking drive?" I said, raising my head as I wiped the tears off my mess.I was a complete mess.But the last thing I needed was pity from a str
Rosette's POV"What did you just say?" Damon threw back at me, his eyes wide open as his gaze fell down to my stomach.It was now or never."I have been feeling a bit funny for the past few days and so I decided to go get drugs to subside the fever and I ended up taking a pregnancy test and it's positive" I answered, skipping the whole part on how the sales clerk and I had to drag over the meds and all.And at the same time, I opened my bag, brought out the stick and placed it on the table.So he could see it.And the next thing Damon broke into a sadistic laughter as he reached out for the stick, shaking his head as he brought it closer."I don't understand how any of this is funny to you" I stated, my brows furrowing."It's not? Cause I never imagined in my life that you would stoop so low, what are you trying to achieve with this Rosette?" He countered, with a dismissive tone."What?" I gasped, holding the edge of the table tightly as I tried to process his vile words."This... You
Rosette’s POVCrying wouldn't change the fact that I was pregnant right? But it could give Damon and I a chance to be together.I know I sound delusional, and it was unexpected but the deed has been done and there is nothing else that I can do about it.So I picked myself up and headed to Damon's office.He needed to know this truth. And even if he wanted to deny his feelings for me, he would never be able to deny the child I'm carrying for him.I didn't mean to get pregnant, but I guess that's what happens when you have a dozen rounds of unprotected sex and I forgot to keep up with my pills.I was nervous. Tensed. And scared. So scared.I never saw this coming, I never wanted it but my pregnancy was about to change everything.Damon and I could hide and play around right under my mother's nose, but I wouldn't be able to hide pregnancy forever. I gripped the hem of my dress tightly, the tiny bit of happiness growing inside of me disappeared instantly.If this revelation should come
