Lorcan's pov."The financial team will set up a new budget for the loss, the meeting is dismissed for now," I announced to the employees as they began to stroll out of the meeting room.I sighed out of exhaustion and loosened up my tie sinking deeper into my chair."Do you have any plans for tonight? How about you ease some stress by having a few drinks?" Darren suggested, his thoughts running wild again.It's not like I have a problem going out and watching them throw themselves at my feet but I just don't want to go anywhere today instead of home.My mind was solely seized with Rosalyn. By how she left while grumbling like a little kid, I'm sure she must still be angry. I suddenly lost interest in hanging out."Drinks with you? No, I have plans.”"Oh, sorry dude, I forget you're the married man who has a cute wife waiting for you home." Darren laughed out."No, I just prefer not to waste my time on useless parties where you meet useless people.""Damn dude, no need to be so brutally
Rosalyn's pov."As expected of you greedy fuckers! You will never get what you wanted," I yelled at them."Is this your final decision? Have you thought through it carefully?" Nick's mother asked while laughing menacingly at my state. "Because this is gonna be your last chance to survive!"I glared at her. "Even if you get the money, Lorcan will not let you go. He will kill you both. You're not aware of his power at all," I huffed, being curled up in this chair was making me uncomfortable.I felt a pain in my stomach. My body is still weak and now going through all this is making me even more vulnerable.I winced again as I felt a strange sensation in my stomach. It's as if the baby was moving. It must be scary for him because of me going through all this stress.'It's alright sweetie, just be strong for mama. I will definitely protect you and take us out of here soon.' I muttered under my breath even though I was on the verge of passing out.I desperately tried to hold back the fear
I heard gunshots which made me flinch through the immense pain that I felt in my stomach. This is not right. I don't want to lose my child.The guilt began to eat me as I breathed heavily. I would never forgive myself if something happens to my child.I felt a shudder run down my spine when I opened my woozy, moist eyes to see Nick's parents on the ground pleading with Lorcan to let them go. Despite having blood on them, they were still alive."Please forgive us! Let us go! We will never show our faces again!" They begged but Lorcan didn't faze. "We only did this for money! We weren't going to harm her in real!"Lorcan pointed his gun at them again. "But you scare her and you need to pay for that.""Lorcan!" But he pull the trigger I called out his name which immediately grabbed his attention."D-Don't kill them..." I let out with difficulty."Rosalyn!" He quickly came to my side and freed my hands before pulling me up to him.As soon as I sensed his warmth I couldn't help but crying
Rosalyn's pov.When I woke up in the middle of the night, I found Lorcan sitting beside my bed. His face was resting on his arm as he slept soundlessly.Even though he appeared calm and also his breaths were steady I wonder if this position was uncomfortable.I watched his face every day but I'm still amazed by his handsome face. This is the first time I'm able to admire his features at close range after the accident.I unknowingly extended my hand to touch but stopped when he suddenly opened his eyes as I gasped when our eyes met. He smiled getting up, causing my mind to stop functioning."Watched enough or do you want to keep going?" He chuckled and taunted me.My face flushed as I embarrassingly looked away. It was still dark outside, which means it was not morning yet."I wasn't looking at you," I grumbled."Same excuse every time," he chucked and I glared at him.His gaze darkened suddenly and a different expression other than worry took over his face. I was confused for a second
Lorcan's pov.Taking her hands I brought them to my chest and looked deep into her scared eyes."Do you want to stop?" I asked gently, softly caressing her sides in a comforting manner. I waited for her answer because I had no intention of forcing myself on her if she didn't want it. "If you want to stop or feel uncomfortable in your stomach then we can stop no matter how horny I am."I watched her gulp as she blinked with her wet eyes that seemed to be glistening alluringly."I-I'm just..a bit scared…since it's my first time," she responded shyly. Her words made my heart skip a beat.I already know that she was a virgin but hearing it still made me overwhelmed."Don't be, didn't I tell you that I'll take care of you?" I asked, fighting back the urge to kiss her forehead but the longer I stared at her the harder it became. I never expected that I'm capable of having this longing feeling."O-Okay," she nodded with a nervous look and I smiled encouragingly.My hand crept down her stomac
Rosalyn's pov.He was aggressive but not rough as I was scared that he would be. I bit my lip as he held my trembling hips in place and positioned him between them. I sucked in a long and sharp breath when I felt his thing pressing against my entrance."Lor—wait!..mffn!" My body instinctively tried to shove away the foreign and unfamiliar object that tried to penetrate my insides. But before I could move away from him, his grip tenfold violently on my hips as his fingers squeezed my ass which made me dizzy and left my insides in puddles. The feeling was so intense that it made me lose my mind completely.My eyes rolled back when he slowly thrusted inside my dripping entrance and I moaned all while tormenting my lower lip. I feel my insides stretching but that doesn't hurt, felt a bit weird but not painful, maybe because he was being cautious and loosened me well earlier with his fingers."Fuck!" He cursed loudly, leaving my hips. He held my thighs and pulled them around his waist whic
Rosalyn's pov."I can't get up," I let out nervously. There was a flabbergasted look on Lorcan's face as I couldn't read him.My legs were limp and I couldn't feel them much. Worse, my whole body was throbbing and I felt an odd pain in my vagina whenever I moved."It's not a big deal…I guess. Don't worry, it's normal," He tried to assure me but my guts were already twisting in fear."How are you so sure?!" I asked with narrowed eyes. Last night as well, it made me suspicious. How is he so skilled when he doesn't have any experience?He sighed. "It's common sense that I'm glad I didn't lose after being with you, fortunately. Of course, you're gonna be a little uncomfortable after the first time," He shrugged off in a 'duh' tone. I glared at him. "Wait here."He disappeared into the bathroom while I sat there and winced in pain.I became aware of what I had last night as a result of the discomfort. I admitted to him that I had no regrets because his attractive appearance and sexual abil
While I felt a sting in my chest, I felt so out of place that I wanted to run away. The environment was so sunny around them that it made me feel like the only dark cloud there."Lorcan, I missed you so much. How are you doing?" The lady pulled back and smiled at him."I'm good. Why did it take you so long to come back?" He asked cheerfully, his smile tightening my chest.I'm guessing that this young girl might be, no definitely is Lorcan's first love because she only greeted him as if I don't exist at all. And I have never seen Lorcan's expression like this anytime he stayed with me.While they stood in each other's arms because this girl was all over him, I felt like an alien. I felt invisible, I felt upset and I felt…jealous. I could taste the bitterness on my tongue."Come and sit with me, dear," Grandma made my existence visible as she pulled me to sit next to her enthusiastically. The only person who cares about me and didn't forget me."Wait, Mother. Lorcan hasn't met Meera fo
Rose's pov.The stars twinkled in the night sky, holding hands as we walked along the beach's edge. Cold breeze welcomed us by tickling our faces. The view was breathtaking as well as the person walking besides me.Lorcan dragged me away from the venue to steal a moment alone for us. The soft sand under my feet felt cool and soothing. Lorcan was wrapping his arm around my waist holding me close, as if he never wanted to let me go. And it was the same for me.The moment was just so calming and magical. We finally had our wedding not just on paper but with traditional rituals as well. I was trying to control my happiness but I just couldn't. Finally everything was right, there's nothing to be afraid of. It feels like the beginning of a beautiful tomorrow."I never thought I would have a moment like this in my life. Life is really unpredictable," Lorcan said.My lips curved into a big smile, my heart overflowing with affection for this man. "Fate has
Rose's pov.Olivia and Liam were extremely excited when we announced that we would be taking them to Grandma's house."Grammy has a big playroom, mama!" Liam was having a hard time controlling his happiness. Grandma had done so much for them in her house. She loved to spoil them.We have to leave to visit a Resort and see if it would be good for our next shooting location. The owner knows Lorcan and invited us for a two night stay. So, grandma suggested that the kids would stay with her, she was missing them as well."Everything ready?" Lorcan showed up in the doorway."Yeah, Please pick Oli's water bottle from the kitchen counter and we are ready to go," I said, handing him the kid's bag that I packed. Liam ran after him."Come here, love," Picking up Oli, I left the room as well.We arrived at Grandma's house in an hour, and she greeted us with warm hugs and smiles. "Oh, my little monster!""Grammy! We bought you cookies!" Li
Rose's pov.Six years later."Higher, daddy, higher!" Olivia squealed, laughing excitedly.Lorcan chuckled, giving the swing an extra push. "Hold on tight, sweetie."I watched them with a smile as my little girl giggled with delight. It was the best view ever, seeing my baby playing happily with her father.Life had never been busier for both of us, so we get less time to spend with our kids. Our busy schedules keep us occupied. However, we are trying to strike a perfect balance between our professional work and our roles as loving parents to our two angels. Olivia and Liam.And even though we are busy, we made sure to present for every important moment in our children's lives. Whether it was attending Olivia's school events, or cheering Liam to become friends with his classmates since he has anxiety.Both Lorcan and I are extra protective of our kids after I almost lost Liam six years back. The thought still gives me chills. Lorcan,
Lorcan's pov.I rushed Rose to the hospital. She had fainted and bled a lot of blood.Panic and fear creeped my heart and soul and it was heightening with each passing second. I have never felt so much fear, I have never felt so helpless.Everything was going great so why this suddenly!I anxiously waited outside the emergency room while both Rose and my child were fighting with death inside. I paced back and forth, my hands couldn't stop trembling, every minute felt like an eternity.After who knows how long, the red light switched off and the doctor came out."How is Rose, doctor?!" I hurriedly asked, my palms getting sweaty.He sighed with a solemn expression, taking out his face from his reports and looking at me. My heart thumping rapidly, threatening to come out of my throat. "Mr. Lorcan we have examined your wife, and the blow she received was on her stomach," he told me, increasing my heartbeats. "It had caused severe internal
Rose's pov.It's been two weeks since my marriage, and I have never been happier. My life is going great. No, not just great but perfect. The things I didn't get to experience in my first marriage, I'm experiencing all now.And it's because of Lorcan.My wonderful husband is perfect. Including grandma and mom. Grandma has shifted in with us because it could be any day that I would have my baby now.Mom and grandma are taking care of me as my morning swings and random stomach pain have gotten worse. So, they are taking turns to keep me company. Also, they have become really good friends. They would share stories of their own experiences with motherhood, and offer tips and advice. Their presence ease my nerves when Lorcan is not around, making me feel more prepared for the journey of being a mother.I turned the page of the book I was reading on new parents in the living room when my phone rang, and saw Lorcan's name on the screen. I excitedly picked
Rose's pov.Amidst the chaos, I prepared for the most important day of my life.My wedding day.As much as it sounds magical, I was shivering from the nervousness. I still couldn't believe it was finally happening. I'm marrying Lorcan, the love of my life.It was a destination wedding. We arrived here in a coastal town two days ago. And I'm just enjoying its sandy shores and tall palm trees that swayed in the ocean breeze.The venue was a stunning beachfront resort, decorated with delicate white drapes swaying in the wind and fragrant flowers in shades of pink and lavender gracing every corner. The ceremony area was set with an elegant wooden arch entwined with fresh flowers.I was waiting inside my bridal suite. I was surrounded by my mother and grandmother. I was wearing the gown Lorcan selected for me. And he had complimented me so much that I was feeling confident."You look so pretty, baby," Mom smiled with wet eyes. I couldn't b
Lorcan's pov.I stepped inside the house. I rushed here on grandma's call. Rose, my beautiful wife is on it again. It's been happening for a few days now. No matter how much I tried to indulge her, she believed that she would not look good in her wedding dress due to her belly."Lorcan, thank god you're here," Grandma met me with her usual warm smile.Giving her a hug, I asked. "Where's Rose?""She was feeling self-conscious again. She's in her room right now."I sighed in worry and made my way to our bedroom. I softly knocked on the door. "Rose, love, it's me. Open the door."No response.I took a deep breath and tried again. "Can I come in...sweetheart?" I called with more tenderness.And finally a choked voice came out. "Y-Yes, come in."Opening the door, I stepped into the room and saw her seated on the edge of the bed, surrounded by so many breathtaking wedding dresses. Her eyes were slightly red, my heart broke to
Rose's pov.I was working to get my mind off Meera when I received a call from the receptionist downstairs. "Hello?""Madam, there's a woman here who insists she's your mother and wants to see you urgently," the receptionist informed hesitantly. "Should I send her to you?"I frowned, unable to believe her. I hadn't seen or spoken to my mother in months. After our relationship soured because of her stubbornness of not leaving my abusive father, I forced myself to leave her own fate. Last time, when she came to meet me, it was to beg me to ask Lorcan to let him know what he did in the press conference.I am worried about what she is doing here today."Please let her in," I instructed her. My chest suddenly tightened. I don't know why after being ignored by her I still feel responsible towards her for all the time she had been there to save me from my father's beatings despite her own past pain.Someone escorted her to my office. My heart pound
Rose's pov.I was on my way to the company when I got a call from grandma. She is so excited from the news that Lorcan and I are getting married. She had already called the designer and wanted me to try on a few dresses.I don't want a grand wedding, a simple one is fine with me. But since both Lorcan and grandma wanted a grand wedding, I guess I can do that for them. They both are very important to me.The car suddenly stopped in front of the company and I carefully got out of the car. I'm only allowed to work for a week after that I'll stay at home until I give birth. Lorcan said he doesn't want to take risks.As I approached the company's entrance, I noticed a figure standing near the entrance. I stilled upon recognising the face.It was Meera. But what is she doing here? Lorcan said she won't ever come back as he warned her strictly not to interfere in our life. He even fired her from the company, so what does she want now?However, I de
