Rosalyn's pov.

Sitting in the living room and staring into nothing, my phone rang with an incoming call. It was from Lorcan. I hesitated for a moment before wiping my tears and picking it.

"Hello?" I took a deep breath, steadying myself before speaking. I don't want him to find out that I was crying.

"Get ready by seven. We are having dinner out tonight," He said casually.

I clenched my jaw, feeling a surge of anger rising within me. I couldn't believe he had the audacity to order me his plans after all this crap. When I thought about the photo, I felt very angry. The sight had ignited a fire of jealousy and resentment in me towards them. How could he still have the face to sound so casual after going around creating scandals like that.

What if he really did that to test me? Or to see how I would react to this news to find out whether I had fallen for him or not?

But for the sake of my child, I need to show the attitude that I haven't fallen for him. And I'll not fall for his charms a

    Rosalyn's pov.As the night stretched on, Lorcan's absence weighed heavily on my heart. I sat alone in the living room for who knows how long. I'm still feeling conflicted after that phone conversation.But as expected, he didn't come home and I feel even sadder though I promised myself to move on. My eyes fixed on the name displayed on my phone, and our conversation time never exceeded a minute. It lacked both depth and intimacy that I longed for.I curled on the couch. How come he only ever remembers me to give me command of what I needed to do? It constantly made me remember how inherently unequal our relationship is. The realisation hits me hard.It made me wonder if I ever crossed his mind while he works in his office like how he's on my mind 24/7. It's pitiful how I don't mind even if he thinks of me even for a bare second.I laughed. What have I made of myself? Why can't I have a stable love life like how I used to dream about? A heavy sigh escaped my lips as I whispered to mys

    Lorcan's pov."Good evening, Sir and Madam! Welcome to le Jardin des Saveurs. Your reserved table is this way," The manager greeted."Good evening," We followed him to a beautifully decorated table in the garden of the restaurant."It's so elegant, Lorcan," Meera smiled excitedly.It's good to see her happy but for some reason, I felt like I'm missing something. I wish Rose was here. To be honest, when I took her on a date last time I found myself captivated by how enchanted she gazed at the place. And that's the reason, I wanted to take her again.Meera, on the other hand, I know she's only saying this for the sake of me. I know she's been to more restaurants like this than me.For some reason, I crave Rose's reaction, her glimmering eyes and a small smile playing on her pink lips. That's what I wanted to see. Has she eaten dinner by now or was she being stubborn again? I needed to hurry up here so I could go to her and see for myself.As we settled the manager asked. "Can I offer yo

    Rosalyn's pov.The morning sunlight penetrated through the curtains, casting a soft glow in the room which made me open my eyes. Stretching my limbs, I yawned the sleep away.Looking around the room, I found no one, proving that Lorcam hadn't returned all night.A knot of worry formed in my stomach. Did he go looking for Meera after I turned him down? He might have, they really match, don't they?The thought of them spending the night together made me feel intense jealousy that I tried to suppress.Deciding to call him, I reached for my phone and dialled his number. However, just as I was about to hit the call button, the doors burst open making me flinch. Lorcan appeared in the doorway, wearing his wrinkled clothes. I stood up from the bed.Why the hell does he look like that? I couldn't help but I've outrageous thoughts.His disheveled appearance gave away the fact that he had indeed been busy throughout the night having sex.My eyes burned and my chest tightened at the sight of him

    Rosalyn's pov.It turned out that I was right, he did all this to give me a reality check. He doesn't want me to fall for him. Thank god, I lied to him or I believe he won't mind divorcing me.I don't want to stay on this issue for too long. I don't want to lose my child…and to be with my baby I need the title of Mrs. Lorcan."I will never love you unless I have gone crazy. I just want to be with my child!" I made my point by looking deep into his eyes. "I won't love you and in return, you can't take away my baby, alright?"He groaned, looking very angry. Although it was the rule he had made, he still gets angry at my firm attitude of not loving him. It's as if he wanted me to go against my words and fall for him. But why does he want that?I hate how he always gives me mixed feelings. Shouldn't he feel happy that I'm doing exactly what he wanted?"So, now you're using our child as a bargaining chip?" He snarled. "You don't show but I know how much you care about the title."I laughed

    Rosalyn's pov.I had always been fascinated by coffee. Its rich aroma, and the comforting warmth it provided, it just took away all your exhaustion of the day.So, that's why I decided to go to a coffee shop for my research. Being a coffee enthusiast, I visited numerous coffee shops and drank different kinds of coffee before I got pregnant. I believe that the location of a coffee shop plays an important role in its success.With my notebook in my hand and a passion for coffee, I stepped into a cozy little cafe on a street corner. The welcoming atmosphere immediately enveloped me.I wanted to prove to Lorcan that I could be useful not with my body but also in business. And I know that action spoke louder than words, so I made this plan. I was surprised when he agreed to let me work, I thought he'd scold me and tell me to just be obedient."Good afternoon! What can I get you?" Lost in my own thoughts, I was interrupted by the waiter. He offered a gentle smile.I returned the smile and r

    Meera's pov.That night, after watching Lorcan walk away from me, frustration and anger coursed through my being. How dare that bastard?! How could he choose that bitch over me?She's nothing but a poor and ugly slut who's using him for his money.And that incompetent journalist, I hate him. Thank god he didn't open his mouth.But I didn't give up. Determined to get my revenge, I found Nick. I knew he hated Rose just as much as I did. Lorcan cut off his finger for her, and he still blames Rose for that. And with everything that went downfall in his life, he despises her so much.One of the things he wanted to retaliate against Rose the most was, that the woman he had been trampling on, was now with someone from the upper class, and he couldn't bear it. It was a pretty bitter pill for him to swallow to see her living her best life in a villa.So, we reached an agreement that he needs to play the role of a knight next to Rose. We prepared a calculated plan."We need to divide their emot

    Rosalyn's pov.Early the next morning, as I entered the kitchen, the smell of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon greeted me. My stomach growled as my mouth watered. But that immediately went dry when I found Lorcan cooking instead of Sarah."What are you doing here?" I yelled out in surprise, driving his attention toward me.He stood there, his hair tousled and his apron slightly crooked, I couldn't help but smile at his clumsy appearance."Umm..making breakfast for you," He raised a brow and I lost it. I tried hard to suppress the laugh that escaped me. "Is it that funny?""Kind of," I smiled as he glared at me but it wasn't one of his scary ones, it was a playful glare."Aunt Sarah is off today, so I just try to make something," He justified with a sigh, and I suddenly wished that time could just stop here forever. I couldn't help but feel warm and content. I wish to share more simple joys like this with him before he asks me to leave after giving birth.However, as if my fant

    Lorcan's pov.I looked around as the media kept on taking our pictures. The place was abuzz with excitement. And when Meera and I took the stage, the media's attention immediately turned to us.The flashes of cameras and the bluster of journalists' questions filled the air."Mr. Valentino, can you share any updates on your latest technology products? How do they differ from the previous versions?" One of the reporters asked.Meera glanced at me, as we stood side by side, and I could see how our presence was commanding the attention.And I could see now what Rose might have worried about by seeing the different and curious looks on everyone's faces watching Meera standing by my side."I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't disclose any details about our latest technology products at this time. We have some exciting innovations in the works, but it's…confidential for now," I told them confidently."Alright, but what about the recent rumours?" Another one asked. And I could smell his next que

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.

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.

"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.
