🌷

“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.”

-Anais Nin

•R O S E C L I N T O N•

I went back to where it happened. I wanted to take away the power of the painful memory for hurt, prove to myself that I could choose to move on. So I took the one I love the most, my best friend, and on that spot we made a great memory, a happy one. Now when my brain goes back there I divert it only to the good memory, the healing one. It's as if I wrote a good story over the top of a bad story, and in time the ink of the bad story fades away until only the good one remains.

But, I happened to do this because I am an adult, how was this small child supposed to do this?

I smiled at him when he introduced his perfect name to me, "That's a perfect name for a tough boy like you." I said, holding his small h

    Never Again 🌷 “We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.” -Robert Fulghum ~•~ •R O S E C L I N T O N• I let out a shaky breath, and whispered, "You're everything that I need." "Then let me give you what you need," his voice sounded a bit husky as the warmth spanned through my body from his touch. The moment his lips connected with my own, a new warmth travelled through my body which I welcomed willingly with both arms. His hands fell away from my waist, catching the back of my thighs before he lifted me up as my legs wrapped around his bare sides. The mere skin on skin contact was lighting a fire straight into my soul, feeling myself kissing him back as he gently laid my back down against the soft bed sheets. I felt my slit already becoming wet, my knees were bent as he positioned himself between my thighs a

    Never Again 🌷 •R O S E C L I N T O N• I was deep in thought when someone placed their hand on my shoulder as I screamed and jumped in surprise, "Hey-hey, Rose, what happened?" Asked Aiden, steadying me as he held both of my upper arms in his while my right hand rested against my chest." Sighing in relief, "Nothing, I'm fine." I said. He brushed free tendrils of my hair from my forehead as they were sticking to my forehead, "You don't look fine, Rose." Said Aiden, searching my eyes for something. I shook my head in denial, "I was thinking something, you surprised me." I said and smiled a bit. But, I knew I couldn't fool Aiden as he was too smart for himself. Trying to change the topic, "You needed something?" I asked. Squinting his eyes at me for a second, he breathed out and said, "Ah-yes. Linda left for work and I thought you were sleeping so I woke the twins up and they both are ready for school." Her eyes widened, as a smile took over her features, "Did you really handle t

My cheeks started heating up, no matter how much I tried I couldn't look away and I was shocked when I realised, I didn't even want to. Our staring moment was interrupted by Alexander calling my name, "Rose," but the way Xavier held my gaze was so magnetizing that I wasn't able to revert back my attention. When Xavier himself looked away from me towards his son, I was finally able to look at Alex too, "Yes?" I asked. "Can I stay here with you?" He asked, innocence reflecting in his honey browns. I wonder why he hadn't inherited his father's eyes? "Rose, can I?" He asked again, setting his hairs off of his eyes. Smiling at him, "Of course, if your daddy al

Spitting in frustration under my breath, I saw one more taxi passing my side. Standing in the middle of the road, I waited for a damn taxi. But, thanks much to my luck, it won't stop even if it was empty. Absent-mindedly, my hands wrapped around myself as the cool wind whizzed past me, sending a shiver in my body. I didn't have any clue that it was going to be this chilly tonight. If I knew, I would have carried an overcoat with me. Since I was going to the party- for which Aiden said a clear no!- but did I listen to him? No! Of course not, I would not agree to whatever he said, unless he explained the reason. Wearing a simple light green dress, with white flowers on it, I knew the dress was a bit favourable to wear on sunny days, but as Issac said I look pretty, I wore it, how could I deny my

I couldn't take my eyes off of her as she walked in wearing the green dress. Amazement was so obvious in her honey browns, the moment my eyes landed her hand intertwined with Aiden, my jaw clenched. I balled my empty hands in fists to prevent myself from ripping his hands off her but when she slipped away from his hold, my fists loosened. Sitting on the stool, I saw her confused features while interacting with Katherine. Pouring myself a glass of whiskey, I sipped on it while just admiring her, my Rose. Even if she doesn't remember anything about her past, she still had the very name I used. For the last five years, I haven't seen her, not even a single glance at her photo that had been placed upside down on my desk. I felt someone's hard gaze and I found Aiden glaring at me. Followi

When I declared the relation of being the father to the kids, Evelyn's hard eyes weren't easy to ignore. They had questions, numerous questions in those dark browns.

And in these two years, he never touched me without my permission. I still get scared remembering the day when I thought I lost my kid, my son, my happiness, Alexander. Yes, Savannah did pull the trigger, but Xavier pushed the gun away from Alex and he missed it by an inch, or else… Breathing out, I suddenly remembered the day when Alex asked me if I could be his mother too, if he could call me Mom too. That day was the best day of my life, we both had tears in our eyes. Of course, I wanted him to call me Mom, but when he wanted to. His face held so much emotion, and Xavier actually shed some tears when he heard Alex calling me Mom, he was finally reli

    Never Again 🌷 Xavier and Mason immediately contacted their detective and the Hawaii police. Evelyn texted the cottage's address to Xavier, according to which they reached the cottage. The detective had asked for a backup which was secretly following them at a distance of a kilometre. Xavier was about to break the door using his foot, when Mason grabbed his arm and pulled him behind, "Don't be a fool Xavier, they can't know our arrival." Nodding his head, they both let the detective and Hawaii police enter the abandoned cottage. There were numerous narrow passages and it was really hard to know where they kept Alexander and Evelyn, until, "Stay away from my son!" Yelled Evelyn. Following the voice, the police increased their pace as they made their presence known to the criminals, warning: "FREEZE! THIS IS HAWAII POLICE." Savannah's eyes widened as she exclaimed in disbelief whilst looking at Evelyn, "You played us!" "You are a criminal." Spat Chris. "I'm not gonna let you

The bulky man held my forearm really tight and continued tracking me out of the cell and through the narrow passage I was pretty sure my blood circulation had stopped by now. "Rose!" Alex screamed when a man slapped him hard on the face. It made my blood at another level. "Leave him the fuck alone out of this!" I yelled to the top of my voice as I pushed my nails in the wrist of my captor. The man dragging me, pushed open the metal door before we entered. He shoved me, not so gently on a wooden chair and tied my arms and legs, they did the same with Alex and he was crying uncontrollably. It made my heart break again and again. Screaming in my head, 'Where the fuck are you Blake?!' Trying to wriggle out of the ropes. I tried hard but all the energy was drained from my body. I didn't have the energy to lift my finger, I just threw my head back and closed my eyes tightly. Looking sideways, "Alex," I called him as he looke

  • The Betrayed Billionaire   Did Evelyn got her memories back?

    Never Again 🌷 •EVELYN / ROSE• That was probably the longest drive of my life, in these twenty-four hours my life had turned upside down. First my kids got hospitalized and my daughter's condition was critical when a guy with eyes familiar to my kids, declared his claim on my kids. He thought I was a fool or he was mistaken that I was weak. I could be anything but that, in these five years I've learned to cope with my unknown past, I know how to connect dots. And after connecting everything that happened in these past few weeks after Mr. Knight entered my life, it led to a conclusion. Xavier Knight is indeed related to my past, but to what extent, I didn't know until tonight. How could I be so foolish to not acknowledge the feelings, his look, that unknown connection to his son and the familiarity between my kids and him. I knew, I was afraid to voice out the truth, but somewhere back in my mind, I know who he is to my kids. But, for now I don't know what he is to me. Ther

    Never Again 🌷 I moved my eyes to see Mason and Marcus, but they weren't there, "They went to fulfill the requirements." Answered Evelyn for me. She walked out of the room as I trailed behind her, once we were in a quiet isolated zone, seeing the rise of the sun. No words were exchanged and it was uncomfortable, I looked at her through my peripheral vision, my brows drawn together slowly as I gazed upon her pretty face. Even with the light scar on her forehead she still looked as beautiful as the day I saw her walking down the aisle. "I'm going to ask you something and please be truthful." She said, turning her body towards me to which I nodded. "Have we met before?" "Yes, we have." I answered absent-mindedly and mentally cussed myself, "At your office." "Before the office I mean." She cleared. "Not that I remember of, why did you ask?" I questioned. Stop it, Xavier. She knows you're lying. "You eyes," looking into my eyes, her gaze was like she was finding something in my
