Damon's POV

"Mom?" Rose gasped as I turned to see Susan, walking down the stairs.

She had a frown on her face as she approached us, "Damon you..Rose why are you here?" Susan asked again.

Rose threw a look at me, almost like she was scared, especially with the way Susan was looking at us.

How do we explain this situation, it was past midnight, and we were both drenched.

"Say something, would you?" Susan added again, standing in front of Rose.

"Mom...I.. Damon" Rose stammered, fixing her eyes on the floor.

"Rose caught a cold as soon as it started raining and so she called me to come pick her up" I blurted out, the first thing that came to my head.

"Cold?"

"Yes, I think it was quite serious, and so she called me to inform me" I added while locking the door as I placed the keys on the table.

I was doing everything just to act normal while in a real sense, my heart was literally pounding.

    Rosette's POV It's been three days since Evelyn called me and it felt odd.Even in the busiest of her days, she would always drop a text at least if she didn't have the time for a video chat or I would get a call from Diego but for three days there was nothing."You know you don't have to overthink everything right?" Kara threw at me casually as she walked into my room carrying a tray."Kara...." "You look stressed and why are you so worried about Evelyn? normally you would complain and whine about how she was breathing over your neck, now she gives you space and you can't take it?" She continued as she dropped the tray on the small sized table in my room picking up the bowl as she brought it to me."I'm not worried...I just...it's the hormones" I covered up.Because what do I say?Evelyn was the only link I had to Damon, she was the last thread I was hanging on from that life and to have it taken away abruptly just made me sick.If there was any chance that we could have Damon back

    Damon's POV.The next morning, even though I wanted to avoid having breakfast with Diego and Evelyn, I knew that would make them uncomfortable and after all, they are doing everything to be a good host to me, but time was running out.I needed information. And there is no way I will be getting one by staying in my room all day and avoiding them, so I put on a warm smile and headed downstairs to join them but just as I was approaching the kitchen, I heard Evelyn's voice and I froze."Do you think we should let her know that he is back?" She asked softly.Without any doubts or questions, I knew the 'her' she was referring to was no other than Rose. My heart skipped a beat, but I remained calm, straining my ears for more, just maybe I wouldn't have to beat the information out of them.Even if I didn't get the full picture, little clues would be enough for me and I was going to put in my life, just to get my love and my child back."Do you think she would want to know that?" Diego return

    Damon's POV.I'm afraid Diego didn't prepare me for Evelyn's excitement.Sure he did say she was happy and gushing about my arrival, but experiencing it was different.Before I could even exit the car, she was running down the stairs towards us with her arms wide open and warmth in her eyes almost made me cry.There was something in her eyes when she looked at me, pity mixed with a hint of helplessness, and I was here to figure it all out.We had dinner and it was fun and overwhelming, Evelyn and Diego tried to fill me in with everything I have missed. In the business space, the latest scandals, the entertainment industry where Evelyn worked, it was just a lot of information.I smiled throughout dinner while adding gasps of surprise and tiny contributions even though none of it made sense anymore but it made the uneasiness in my heart wean off.After all, this was our routine. This was us. And at that moment, what my life used to look like before Rose and Susan flashed before me.Our

    Damon's POVSix Months Later.A trip to Africa was supposed to fix me, after losing Rose and a messy divorce with Susan but I was probably being delusional. Seeing and staying with my mom helped, playing the role of the rich fun uncle to my nieces and nephews was amazing but that didn't fill the large gap in my heart.In fact, it worsened.Because somewhere, Rose was still with my baby, and I fucked up the opportunity to be a father and I lost the opportunity to love her.No, thanks to the messy game Nathan and Susan played on me, I had no idea where Rose was, how she was doing and if she still kept the baby. I glanced at my wristwatch for the second time in five minutes. Diego was supposed to come pick me up from the airport but there was no sign of him yet.
