It's been nearly three hours since Rose and I came down to the banquet. Father stole me from enjoying my evening with her to become acquainted with some new business partners for future business deals. It was good, though, because Rose's mother also stole her away to get acquainted with new people. I assumed that her mother was also introducing Rose to her business partners. Pfft. Now that I think about it, Rose and I are only marrying because it was a business transaction between our parents. I find it amusing to think that we are a business deal between our parents. Yet, I wouldn't have it any other way. Rose is caring, emotional and she can stand her ground when needed. She can also take a joke (if it is decent enough, though), and when I'm teasing her, she teases me with the same amount of tease strength I teased her. Now that I think about it, I won the lotto with R

Today was finally the big day. I slept like a baby after Eugene brought me back to my room last night. So, when I woke up this morning, I was surprised with breakfast in bed by Melissa."Good morning, sister-in-law! Or, well, at least soon to be,"Melissa said as she entered my room high spirited."I can't believe today has finally arrived!"I giggled."Someone is high spirited today.""Well, if you're not, I'll be for you,"she said, putting the tray of food in front of me on the bed."Here you go. I made it myself. Or well, your mot

Eugene's POVI hated leaving Rose in the care of Melissa while I went after Cassidy. I could practically feel the hurt in her eyes while she watched me walk away in the direction the guards took Cassidy. Before opening the doors, I looked over my shoulder to where Melissa and Rose were walking."I'm sorry, Rose. But this has to be taken care of before it gets out of hand,"I whispered to myself. Someday, you'll get the answers you deserve.I sighed and pushed open the doors to see the guards dragging Cassidy out of the building."Guards!"I yelled, running over to them."I'd like

Eugene's POVI watched Rose's sleeping figure as we landed. She looked so peaceful. I felt bad waking her up. I walked over to her seat and crouched down until I was level with her face. I studied her for a bit longer, admiring how innocent she looked. I didn't know how long I stared at her, but the pilot came to inform me that everything was loaded into the limo. I nodded and sighed. Time to wake the monster.I stroked my hands through Rose's hair. This seemed to wake her up as she groaned and looked at me once her eyes opened.I smiled, still combing through her hair."Hello, darling. We landed a couple of minutes ago. Everything has been loaded into the limo, but I felt bad about waking you up earlier."

"Hello, darling! Welcome back. How was the trip? Did you enjoy it, at least?"Mama enveloped me in a hug as soon as Eugene and I walked through the door. After spending two weeks in Sharm El-Sheikh, we had returned home. Needless to say, Eugene spoiled me rotten the entire time. He made sure I felt happy all the time. Giggling, I returned Mama's embrace."Bonjour, Mama. It's good to be back. I enjoyed the trip very much. It was relaxing." Mama parted from our embrace and cupped my cheek."I wouldn't have expected it to be any other way." I smiled at Mama, and her eyes wandered to Eugene next to me.

“Do you have everything you need?”I looked at Eugene, where he stood at the bottom of the stairs as I descended them.“Yes, I believe so. I didn’t really pack for myself. My assistant did most of the packing so, you’ll have to ask her if she forgot to pack anything.”Eugene snickered at my remark.“Well, if your assistant is the one who packed, I don’t believe she would have forgotten something.”I stared daggers at Eugene.“Oh, so that’s how it’s going to be. You would believe my assistant’s words more than my own?”

Eugene’s POVToday would be the first day I would show up as the new CEO at the company. Even though it would be my first day, nothing out of the ordinary would be what I would be responsible for. The countless times I had been here at the company with my father, sitting in meetings and running through business deals and details with him, every work detail had been engraved into my mind.As my assistant pulls up to the company, I receive a message from Cassidy’s father. What does he want now? An apology for what happened at the wedding? I sigh and get out of the car. Apparently, he has been waiting for a while now. I’m not sure how long one can stand idly when the company officially opens for business at 9 o’clock. I look at my watch. It’s ten to nine at the moment. If the old man wants to wait for m

It was 5 in the morning when I boarded the plane. Eugene offered to take me to the airport, but I politely refused him. I told him that Eric would take me. He didn’t seem happy about my answer, but I shrugged off his behaviour. If he thought I wouldn’t be mad because he hired Cassidy at his company, he was dead wrong. I wanted him to suffer a bit about the choice he made. He probably knows this more than I do, but if Cassidy’s behaviour at the wedding was any indication about how their family operates, then there was no end to their schemes. Being Eugene’s secretary was the first step into stepping into the Wright family. And one could only guess what the next step would be.I shuddered. It was the next step in their plan that I resented most of all because Cassidy was stepping on a warpath with me. She wants to draw a wedge between Eugene and me, and once that wedge is there, she would squeeze her way into their family. One way or another, she was going

Rose’s POVI woke up to a throbbing pain in my right shoulder and a heartbeat monitor beeping. The sudden bright light that filled my vision as I opened my eyes was enough to make me blind. I squinted my eyes as I studied the room I was in and sighed in relief when I realized I was back at the hospital. We’ll more in the hospital than at the hospital if I studied my situation correctly.I groaned as I tried to sit up in the bed, the pain from my shoulder now spreading to the rest of my arm. Ugg, what is this pain?I looked towards my arm and noticed it was bandaged and hanging in a sleave. Oh, yeah. That right. I was shot. Yesterday? Two days prior? I don’t know how long I’ve been knocked out, so I’ll have to check the date on my phone.

Eugene's POVAfter I was called to the security room, it felt like ages before I could return to her room. In fact, I think only ten minutes have passed since I left her room, but that is enough time for anything to happen.I sighed and opened her door, expecting to see her still sitting on the bed, but she didn't. I studied the room, but I didn't see her anywhere. I looked towards the bathroom and saw a closed door. Maybe she went into the bathroom?I walked over to the door and knocked twice. "Rose? Are you in there?"I waited for her to answer me, but I heard nothing. I knocked again. "Rose? Is everything ok?"

After about a fifty minutes drive, we arrived at the harbour. The taxi driver didn’t want to go further into the vicinity. He dropped me off at the nearest place he could stop. I climbed out of the car, paid him, and watched as he drove off back into the city. I turned around and studied the harbour. I get why he didn’t want to go further because this was an abandoned harbour and no doubt someplace where the mafia people gather to collect their shipments. Now, if I wanted to commit a crime, this would be the place I would go.I took a deep breath and entered the vicinity. I couldn’t hear anything except my footsteps that echoed as I walked. It was high tide, so the ocean didn’t even move, and there were no seagulls in the sky. Everything was completely silent.I walked until I found a clearing where I saw Cassidy standing

7 months laterI was holding Lacey firmly in my hands. Not even a few hours ago, I was rushed to the hospital, and they had to do emergency surgery to get her out because I couldn’t give natural birth to her. The doctors told me I might die if I attempted to give natural birth because my body was too frail. Eugene was next to me and panicked when he heard I might die, so he lectured me. His outburst led to the nurses taking him away to calm him down while I was taken to ICU.Now here, after everything, here she was. Our beautiful baby girl. I rocked her in my arms when the door to my room opened, and in walked Eugene. The second he walked into the room, he paused in his steps and looked at me and then at Lacey. He rushed towards me, or rather, towards Lacey, and sat next to my bed. He looked at Lacey with utter admiration. I coul
Where Broken Hearts Meet 34 - Expecting
Rose’s POVIt’s been nearly six months since I’ve been released from the hospital. The doctors kept me there for supervision for two weeks to make sure I was stable to be living my life again. After they took the bandages off my head, the blow to my head was still visible. The doctors told me that it would take about three more months for the wound to my skull to heal completely. So, I went for monthly checkups to make sure it was healing correctly. I also received my medicine for it during those checkups. The doctors also put me on anti-shock medication, saying it would help prevent any side effects from my blow to my head.I was grateful that I could receive such good treatment from the doctors. Eugene made sure that they took great care of me. He was also back to being himself, albeit more considerate and concerned for my well-being than he was before. Me

Rose’s POVI stared at him as he stood at the door. He didn’t even look at me as he found his toes to be more important than his wife sitting in a hospital bed. He said nothing for the entire time he stood at the door. Why? Am I not important anymore? Are you so disgusted with me that I’m not even worthy of being looked at anymore?I felt the warm train of tears streaming down my face as I stared at him. I don’t know how long I’ve been in a coma, but seeing him like this just made my heart ache.Eugene slowly looked up at me. But when he saw me, he suddenly turned around to leave again. I needed to speak with him. I had to!I gathered up my courage to speak, even though I knew it would come out as shuddering w
Where Broken Hearts Meet 32 - Awake
Eugene’s POVIt has been a month since Rose’s accident, and she was still in a coma. Eric phoned my parents the night things spiralled out of control, and I sat on the hospital floor wailing. My parents rushed over as soon as they could. Needless to say, they were shocked to see the state I was in. My mother sat on the floor, comforting me. Father stood next to me and placed his hand on my shoulder to comfort me in his own way. I was a complete mess – still am. I did not want Rose’s parents to find out about what had happened, but mother insisted that they had to know. I know I was being selfish, keeping everything to myself to protect myself from the judgements I would receive from them. Luckily, Melissa was still in Paris, so my mother phoned her instead. It just so happened that she was having dinner with them when my mother called her. If I knew anything, it was that Melissa would try her utmost t
Where Broken Hearts Meet 31 - The News
Eugene’s POVI slugged back to the house, where I found Cassidy enjoying a glass of wine, smirking at me. I glared at her.“You planned this, didn’t you?”Cassidy looked at me then studied the wine in her glass.“I don’t know what you are talking about.”“Bull. You know what I’m talking about!”I yelled at her. She didn’t look fazed at my outburst in any way.“Eugene,”she said, drinking the last bit of wine in her glass.
