Rosalyn's pov.While I sat feeling humiliated and on the verge of crying again. Meera took the initiative to come and defend me. Though, her words only made me more helpless and vulnerable."What are you talking about Aunty? Being poor is not a sin, right Lorcan?" She asked with a bright smile.Lorcan didn't answer. I kind of wanted to know his thoughts as well about me. Even though I already know his mindset won't be any different from his stepmother's since he's an arrogant prick.When his eyes met mine, they weren't angry but they weren't gentle either. But I quickly looked away. I don't want him to suddenly remember me because his friend asked him to."Can we quit this topic?" I heard his frustrated growl."Don't be like that Lorcan," Meera sighed as she came and sat beside me. I didn't understand her motive but I didn't say anything. Looking at me she smiled. "Hey, I'm Meera. I'm sorry for the late introduction. I forgot everything once I saw Lorcan."I forced a smile, my voice t
Lorcan's pov.As I walked away with Meera, my mind was still filled with a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. My feelings were a mixture of confusion and frustration. When I saw Meera at Grandma's house, it was as if I forgot everything. She's my childhood friend, but I can't deny that she meant more than just a friend to me in the past.But now her sudden arrival had me baffled severely. I couldn't help but wonder how my actions had impacted Rose after I left with Meera.Meera has really disturbed my thoughts somehow, though it's not as if I'm not aware of my feelings for her.But I'm not aware of Rose's feelings. I know she clearly looked dead in my eyes and told me she doesn't feel anything for me, but then why did she look so sad when I was leaving with Meera?That miserable look of her is still bothering me. For some reason, I just wanted to run back to her and comfort her. When my so-called stepmother constantly forced her to spill her past, my blood was boiling and yet I could
Rosalyn's pov.As I watched Lorcan walk away hand in hand with Meera, a wave of conflicting emotions washed over me. My gaze was fixed on their entwined fingers, their firm holding hands, just like Romeo and Juliet who revoked against their family in the name of love. It felt as though I was the bad woman, a villain who was trying to break them up.I battled between the mingled emotions of betrayal and pain.My presence here feels meaningless.The sight of them walking away pierced my heart with thousands of arrows, each carrying its own sting of betrayal. He is really a genius. One moment he was holding me gently, and as soon as I lowered my guards he pushed me off a cliff.How could he find solace with someone else after making me feel like shit for countless moments? It feels like history is repeating itself.My mind raced with unanswered questions, each one tormenting me further. I know I shouldn't have become weak but the self-doubts were gnawing at my self-worth.As I stood ther
Rosalyn's pov."What's wrong? You still have the heart to ask what's wrong?" I asked, my eyes flickering with anger and hurt. "I know our marriage is nothing but contractual but I still won't bear a betrayal like this. I won't bear this kind of insult! Am I not enough for you?!"His brows furrowed and concern was engraved in his eyes. He looked puzzled and held me more cautiously. "What are you talking about? What betrayal?"His words cut me deep, but I still couldn't bear the thought of being deceived once again."Yeah, what betrayal. I'm sorry it's not cheating since we don't love each other," I spat, glaring hard at him. "But can't you wait until our baby is born? Is it too much to ask? After that, you're free to fuck around with your friend!!" I yelled in his face.But that didn't last as his hand gripped my jaw firmly. "Lower your voice," He warned in a frightening tone.My eyes were immediately filled with water and agony. "Or what?!"He kept on staring at me. I could see how ha
Rosalyn's pov.I found myself unable to avert my gaze from his striking physique, as he stripped. His body oozed confidence, his well-defined muscles with strong shoulders and arms, and his chiselled chest was nothing but a work of art. He was undeniably sexy.He let out a domineering growl when he found me drooling at the sight of him. My pussy throbbed at the sound. I hate being so submissive and giving in so easily every time to him.He settled between my parted legs, his heated flesh came in contact with my dripping entrance. It felt amazing, I moaned helplessly."Y-Yes…please!" I mewled and begged. Hushed moans left my parted lips as he entered me.He fucked me slowly, building up an incredible amount of friction before sliding deep into me. I cried out in pleasure, my heart thundering while my chest heaved in ecstasy. My legs straddled his waist, my breast pressing against his chest as he lowered himself to kiss me.He moaned, and as I felt him moving, I pushed myself down onto
I made my way to the kitchen to make myself a cup of coffee. I'm really tired after last night. It was really unexpected for this devil to come back so suddenly. I was expecting him to spend the whole night with his first love.Though, it's not like I'm happy or anything since he only came back because of his condition. But I also won't lie that his words that he hates cheaters made me calm.'Ding'I frowned as I was in the middle of boiling the water for the coffee when the doorbell rang. Who could be at this hour?However, when I went to get the door my blood immediately bubbled inside me as the anger pierced through my eyes though I tried hard to hide when I came face to face with Meera."Hello?" I clenched my fists tightly, trying to compose myself. She smiled as my voice strained. "What brings you to our house?"Her smile fluttered a bit but she kept on forcing it. "Rosalyn, Hi," She greeted. Her red floral dress matched her red lips. "I'm here for Lorcan."I raised a brow. "Oh,
Lorcan's pov.On the way to the office, a smile formed on my lips as I recalled Rose's enthusiasm when she was showing me off to Meera. The pride on her face that was evident, brought me immense joy.It made my heart race.Nick must be an idiot, for losing her. But thanks to him, she falls right into my palm. I couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority.That bastard failed to recognise the true essence of Rose's captivating allure. He didn't realise how delicious she really tasted in every way. From her soft skin to the melodic sound of her moans, her shy yet enticing demeanour, and her craziness when she didn't think twice before doing something made me yearn for her more passionately."Lorcan?"Everything about her made me win her more. I shifted and let out a sharp breath when I felt myself turning on madly."Lorcan?!" Lost in my thoughts, I was abruptly interrupted by Meera. I turned my face to her, her eyes were glimmering with a certain fondness. "Are you fine? I..mean you l
Meera's pov.I paced back and forth in my luxurious bedroom, it wasn't as grand as it used to though, my mind filled with frustration and anger. I huffed out furiously.This is fucking frustrating!How could Lorcan, that wretched man, turn me down after everything I had done for him? I even begged him, and gave him a blowjob even though I was dying inside of disgust.I humbled myself, and lowered my standard just to become his mistress, hoping that he would throw himself on my feet for a little attention from me just like in the past. One smile from me and he would be ready to lick my feet.But that piece of garbage picked up by Valentino's family turned out to be nothing but a loyal dog to a bitch who doesn't even love him. They both are crushing my hopes and my desires. They both are pathetic and deserve to be burned alive. I want to kill them both!"Foolish Lorcan!" I muttered under my breath, my voice dripping with disdain. "I was the one who accepted him no matter how I hated him
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
