Adrien Even though I recognize Rosalie as a capable and independent adult who can take care of herself, it doesn't stop me from worrying about her. It's 3 pm, an hour past the time I anticipated her return, and she has not arrived. While I aim not to appear clingy – a trait I don't possess and will never possess– the reassurance of hearing her voice would ease my concerns about her well-being. Considering the possibility of her being stuck in traffic or forgetting to inform me about her return time, I chose to release my concern and give her a call. "I'm not a clingy person," I muttered to myself while dialing her number. "I'm just worried about her, that's all." Putting the phone to my ear as it started to ring, relief washed over me as she answered, "Hello?" "Thank God, you're alright," I sighed. "Why wouldn't I be?" She chuckled. "It's three pm, and you said you'd be back by two," I reminded her. "Are you held up in traffic?" "No," She said. "I'm sorry; I should have called
Adrien "Why did it take you so long to get back?" Rosalie inquired upon my return. "I met a client, and we got carried away talking. Sorry," I lied, avoiding the mention of my encounter with her father and stepmother knowing it would upset her. I'll need to dissuade my father from inviting the Truscotts, but knowing him, they'd be at the top of his guest list. "It's fine. Thank you." She accepted her drink and took a sip. "Hmm, what a breath of fresh air." "Aren't they done yet?" I asked. "They're not window shopping, Adrien. This is childbirth," She laughed. "It takes time. Some kids just like to take their time.” "How many hours have passed now?" "Six hours," She responded. “Tired already? You just got here.” "I'm not tired. I'm just not used to waiting. Was yours even longer?" I inquired. "I think... Four hours? I have no idea," She shrugged. "I was in a coma for almost a week. Kevin and Zara were the ones who took care of the kids." "And your mom?" The pain lingers eve
Rosalie"Why do you look like someone whose cat just died?" Kevin asked. I shot him a nasty look and muttered, "I hate cats." "Dog, then," He said. "Did something happen?""Nothing happened," I shrugged."Did you have a fight with Adrien? You only ever look or talk like this when that happens," He stated. "What's the matter this time?""Don't let me burden you with my problems," I shook my head. "We can talk about it later.""Are you sure?" His brows furrowed in concern. "You're not... You're not regretting getting married to him, are you?"I should have anticipated Kevin's ability to identify the precise cause of my bad mood. Despite my attempts to conceal it, I thought I'd managed to hide it well after being granted the chance to see Zara and Sean. However, it must have been evident to them that all was not well with me."Well, yes," I nodded. "We jumped into this way too fast. We should have resolved all of our issues before getting married again," I stated. "The memories from th
Adrien The expression on her face didn't bode well for me at all, but really, what did I expect her to do? Was she supposed to jump for joy because I confessed to having harbored feelings for her a thousand years ago? I doubted any woman would be pleased to hear that. The words I uttered didn't sound pleasing even to my own ears. "Um... I'm a bit confused." She laughed shortly, rising to her feet and pacing. "Explain it to me so I can understand you better; you had feelings for me but you hated me?" "Don't misunderstand me, Rosalie." I said. "I didn't hate you because I had feelings for you. I would've told you about my feelings, but I didn't know how to approach you." "Just like you didn't know how to tell me you wanted me and you accused me of seducing you, right?" She snapped. "I was a jerk to you. You'd have laughed in my face if I'd told you about my feelings." I explained. "You'd have thought I was playing a prank on you." "Of course, I would have thought that!" She hissed.
Rosalie Announcing our arrival, the MC declared, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great honor and privilege that I introduce to you Mr and Mrs Vasanten, our bride and groom." As the words resonated through the room, all eyes turned in our direction, applauding our entrance. From my early years, I loathed being the center of attention, leading to infrequent invitations to my birthdays. The constant attendees were my mother, Adrien's parents, Adrien, and his brother Brandon. However, their presence felt obligatory, accompanied by glares that heightened my anxiety and fear during each celebration. Following my parents' divorce and my mother's departure from the neighborhood, it became a solitary celebration between the two of us on my birthdays. The shared history with Adrien that I once cherished despite his rude behavior towards me, took a turn as we grew older, and his attitude made me perceive him as nothing more than a heartless person. "Now, the bride and groom will have their
Yvette "How is it possible that they got married again?!" I screamed, tossing my purse and shoes aside and glaring at my parents as if it was their fault Adrien and Rosalie were married. "I'm amazed as well." Dad said. "When we saw him at the hospital, I noticed his wedding band..." "You saw him at the hospital?" I cut him off. "He's been back for a while now? Why didn't you tell me?" "We weren't aware that he even traveled anywhere." Mom said. "He wasn't very receptive towards us." "I can't believe that bitch stole my man for the second time." I seethed. I'd waited five years for Adrien to forgive me and take me back, but I didn't know my stepsister had a plan of her own. She'd thwarted my plan to get back with Adrien by getting married to him. "They looked happy together, didn't they?" Mom mused. "Unlike last time when he couldn't even stand her." "She probably blackmailed into marrying her." I muttered. "Adrien told me how much he hated her. He hated her with a lot of passi
Adrien Following the party, I was aware that there might be a chance Yvette would attempt to contact me, and her picture message seemed like a plea for reconciliation. The images of her in revealing lingerie stirred strong emotions in me - buried emotions that were forced to resurface, prompting me to swiftly delete the message and block her new number. Despite the temptation to confront her, I chose not to engage knowing it would encourage her to do something even worse. She was delusional if she believed that a single photo of her, even nude would have me running back to her. My goal was to earn my wife's forgiveness, persuade her to reconsider the intimacy restriction and give us a chance to be happy. Yet, I was prepared to wait indefinitely if that's what she desired, as she was truly worth the wait. The excited voices of my children coming from the pool area drew me in that direction, compelling me to discover what they were up to. I was in my office when I received Rosalie's
Rosalie A week later "Good morning, my lovely family." Adrien greeted us as he walked into the dining room. "Good morning, daddy." The kids returned his greeting with smiles. "Morning." I responded. During our initial marriage, encountering each other in the mornings was a rare occurrence. He would always leave before my awakening, and occasionally, Serena informed me of his absence the night before. Now, witnessing him wearing a joyful smile, adorned in a three-piece charcoal black tailored suit with a crisp white shirt, accompanied by a matching tie and dress shoes, brought happiness to me. The life I had envisioned for myself was finally realized – a husband who recognized and respected me as his wife, along with three affectionate children. Although it took us seven years to reach this point, it was worth the wait. "You look gorgeous as always, Rose." He walked around the table to give me a peck on my cheek. "Scrambled eggs, waffles, pancakes and bacon." He muttered.
