Rosette POV

"But you know one thing, she's your friend, and in a time like this, she needs us, most especially you" Damon added as we began our ride to the hospital.

His words washed over me as I turned my face, looking out the window.

Kara's chapter was a case closed in my life not until today. And in all honesty I do feel truly sorry for her, and I felt bad.

Kara came here all because of me and due to our fight, I stayed away from Granny, even until her last days.

"That's what scares me the most, she is always like this whenever she needs us but what happens after that? She goes ahead and does something despicable, can't you see that?" I threw back at Damon.

"Rose, this is death. Death. She is never going to feel the same again, I'm not saying you should forgive her and pretend like all that didn't happen, all I'm saying is that, you should tolerate her, for now, just be there for her, it's proof that you are the bigger person."

"I never asked to be the bigger person" the words s

She yelled after me and I could do nothing else other than roll my eyes, that was the most absurd thing I heard in a week.Should I be kind to her?When she was never

You are deviating Rose, Damon is just working, you should focus on this issue right now” My mom interrupted even before Damon uttered a word.“What the hell mom?” I shot at her. I just couldn't understand why she's been on my neck since last night, was this to paint me in a bad light or what?“Rose..Susan, that's enough please” Damon stated.I threw a look at him, “I didn't even do anything”“I know…and everything is fine with me, it's just work, help out with the funeral arrangements would you?”“Of course, I already agreed to help. I have no idea why…” I paused, my eyes landing on Kara. Her head was bowed, as she wiped the corner of her eyes.She was crying.“Kara…” I started, placing my bowl of cereal on the counter as I moved closer to her.“Hey…you don't have to cry okay? We are here for you” I heard myself saying the same thing Damon did earlier.“I don't want y’all fighting because of me” Kara stammered, in between tears.“Ar

The ceremony was over and concluded but by the time we got home, it was already past nine."Well, I'm glad it went well" Kara added as she plopped down on the couch.I smiled, walking into the kitchen to get a glass of water when I heard Damon's voice."So I will put the house up for sale in two days and when I get a buyer, the proceeds will be sent to you" "Oh, thank you so much, I got the confirmation of my ticket in my mail, I really appreciate it," Kara replied."Tickets? Are you leaving tomorrow?" My mom interrupted."Yes, my flight is tomorrow, by noon actually" Kara answered.I grabbed the bottle of water and walked out of the kitchen, "Why so fast?" I threw at her."Yes, I agree with Rose for the first in forever, why so fast? You know you can stay here until you get yourself together" My mom supported."Ohhhh" I drawled out, rolling my eyes as I handed the water to Damon, while glaring at my m

I retorted, as calmly as possible.Kara already said her piece and if I wanted my sanity, the best option was sending Caleb away before my mom realizes he was here and then comes down to create a scene for me."It's my mom Rose, I had no choice, I'm sorry I lied but we are at fault for what happened, it's annoying that you wouldn't let it go" Caleb added."Really? Are we at fault? Agreed. But I need you to wake up, we can be er be together because what your mom wants from me, I will never do that, and it's going to be better if she doesn't continue this mind games with my mom, it's not her forte" I warned, I was starting to loose my cool the more I talked about it."Don't talk about my mom like that Rose!""Then leave, don't push

I stammered, trying so hard not to break into tears."Hey...it's okay, I understand how you feel, and it's normal for you to feel that way okay, but whatever happened was inevitable, and things like this we cannot control them but everything will be fine okay?" Damon reassured me."Are you sure? I feel terrible for the way things turned out, I don't know, I'm just exhausted..." I added again."But it's all done right? And over, you won't have to face him or deal with him again, at least for now" "What about Rowland?

Damon walked up to me and extended a hand, lifting me up so I could lean on him as I tried to gather my thoughts together."It's really not what you think baby, I only want the best for you" she added again, stuttering."Why! Why are the things you always do so hurtful and then you go ahead to say that you do it for me? How so? You go ahead and make some stupid unreasonable decisions and then say it's for me? I never asked for any of this Mom!""Easy easy Rose...calm down, I seriously have no idea what's going on here and can someone fill me in?" Damon said, wrapping his hand over my shoulders."Ask your wife why she is talking to that man, and promising him things that she will never be able to keep up too" I answered, before Susan could."What man?

I tried for months to hide this from Damon while contemplating if I was making the right decision or not.Only for Rose to walk in on me.And now they were both looking at me, like I was some sort of criminal and I hated how it made me feel."That makes no sense Susan, for what reason do you think he wants to be back in Rose's life? What if he wants you back?" Damon questioned."That's ridiculous, I don't have any feelings for Ronan, it's you I love, I love you Damon" I confessed, placing my hands on his chest, while pleading with my eyes."Susan....""I'm a mother Damon, everything I did, I did it as a mother, I only wanted stability in Rose's life, I just...""And what makes you feel like there is no stability in my life mom?

    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

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

    DAMON’S POVI have never been addicted to drugs or the other kinds, yet I found myself suffering the fate of one in withdrawal. Withdrawal from the woman that made me feel whole. Even though I didn't realize it until now. I couldn't stop thinking about her. “I love you Damon” Her sweet voice resounded in my head, over and over again. It was a statement, a fact that we both couldn't deny but I did. I walked away from her love, over and over again. What sort of man would walk away from his marriage and settle for the daughter of the woman he married? I didn't want to be that kind of guy.Not when Susan needed me more than ever. I made a decision to suppress every ounce of emotion I had towards Rose, even though I knew I was hurting her, but I was hurting more. The need to see her, hold her and just feel her kept growing inside of me every single day and yet there was nothing I could do. She avoided me like a plague and then I found a way to convince myself that it was for the best

He drawled out, raking his eyes all over me and then his gaze settled on one of the toys and then he picked the clamps."The lights" I muttered, without taking my eyes off him."Ashamed?" He threw back at me."No... just"""I want to see all of you in the light, are you going to back out?" He challenged, undoing the buttons of his shirt.On seeing his hard chest and perfect abs, my mouth watered as the desire to run my hands all over his chest, filled me and a slight whimper escaped my lips.As if on cue, Damon smiled as he proceeded to pull down his pants dragging it slowly on the intent of teasing me."Never took you for such a tease" I pointed ou
