Rose's pov.I never expected that working could be fun and exciting. We're working for hours now and I'm having the time of my life that working with Lorcan.Lorcan is a hard-working guy, I already knew this fact but he looked amazingly hot while working. Well, I didn't expect him to him be so attracted to me, but he's a package full of surprises.He had been pacing back and forth in the living room, his brow furrowed in deep thought.After hours of analysis, he finally broke the silence. "You're right, we should do TV dramas," He declared, his eyes fixed on me.I gave him an encouraging nod.He continued, "Because TV dramas are filmed and broadcast at the same time. Also, they have a wide audience so this could be a golden opportunity. I should order the producer to buy the script as soon as possible."My mind was getting weary from working so long. "Sounds great," Still I managed to let out a small smile even though I was exhausted."Are you alright?" He asked softly, brows furrowin
Rose's pov.My eyes widened in surprise when I woke up and watched Lorcan moving around the kitchen. He was wearing an apron and…cooking?!Am I daydreaming? Or is this really happening? The guy who handles huge entrepreneurs is chopping vegetables."Is this a dream?" I asked, announcing my presence to him. "Since when did you become a master chef?"He quickly turned towards me, and a light blush spread across his cheeks. I couldn't believe my eyes, the usually serious and reserved Lorcan is blushing!He has kind of messed up the kitchen but I appreciate that he was at least trying. He looked embarrassed."Well, I overheard the servants say that you had a bad appetite recently, so I thought about making something special for you," He admitted sheepishly, I smiled loving him all over again. "I remembered my mother's recipe that she used to make for me when I was a child. It used to be my favourite, although I couldn't find the exact recipe, I want to try to make it."I took a deep breat
Lorcan's pov.After dinner, me and Rose were tidying up the table when my phone started ringing. I glanced at the screen and saw that it was from Meera. I frowned in confusion, why is she calling me at this hour?I looked up at Rose who was putting the dishes in the sink. So, I decided to pick it up, because it could be urgent if she's calling me now. In order not to make Rose worry, I went to study.I know I don't feel anything about her, and I don't why it happened between us, but I for sure think that I just sympathised with her and it had nothing to do with love. Meera and I are just good friends.Closing the door behind me, I took a deep breath and answered the call. "Hey, is everything fine?" I let out calmly.I heard some heavy breaths and faint sobbing. "Lorcan!" She burst out crying.My heart raced suddenly. "Meera?! What happened? Why are you crying?!"Her voice trembled as she spoke again. "Lorcan, I...I'm really…I don't know who else to reach out right now.""Alright, calm
Lorcan's pov.I was silent for a long time. To be honest, I didn't know what to say or how to comfort her. Meera was crying hard, and all I could do was stand and stare at her helplessly.Which was pathetic because instead of being there for her and handling this problem, my mind was consumed by thoughts of Rose, my first responsibility and priority. Whenever I think about Rose, the woman I love the most, a sharp pain pierces my chest. The woman I cherished and planned a future with. How could I fucking do this to her?!Even though I know she has always been understanding and supportive, I fear she won't be able to bear the weight of this betrayal. The thought and guilt gnaw at me, twisting my insides."I-I thought about...giving up my child. I even went to the hospital and planned to make an appointment for the abortion procedure...but when they asked me to stand on the operating table. I... I got so s-scared that I ran away!" Her voice trembled as she cried uncontrollably. "This chi
Lorcan's povIt was around 1 am in the morning when I returned home. Nervously, I stepped inside the house, my heart pounding with agitation.As I entered the living room, my eyes met Rose's gaze. She was sitting on the sofa, her eyes glued on the entrance as if she had been waiting for me deliberately. I froze in my tracks, unable to move for a moment. My heart raced as she took in my dishevelled appearance."Hey," I breathed out, approaching her cautiously. "You haven't gone to bed yet?"She rose from the sofa and smiled. "I was waiting for you so that we can go to bed together. But what happened to you? Is everything okay at work?" She asked, concern filling her eyes as she observed my troubled expression and messed up clothes.I hesitated for a moment, feeling guilty to even meet her gaze. I wasn't sure how she would react to the news I was about to tell her, afraid that her beautiful smile would vanish from her lips. I didn't want to ruin the stability we had attained in our rela
Rose pov.The next day I woke up feeling sad and frustrated. I don't know if it was due to the mood swings from pregnancy or because I didn't find Lorcan beside me.I left the door unlocked last night and I know he joined me on the bed but didn't disturbed my sleep. But now I'm thinking if it was a dream or real. Where did he disappear so early in the morning? It's not as if I wanted to see him right now or listen to his excuses, it's just I'm feeling as if he disappeared for no good reason.I quickly reached for my phone to call grandma to tell her that I'll be going to see her because the more I stay here the more his words from yesterday would keep on repeating in my head.However, when I turned the phone on, my insides twisted in anger as I read Lorcan's text on my screen, saying that Meera suddenly had a stomach ache, and he had to go and see her.I should have expected this, it's his dear lover after all to whom he rushed without even caring about his own pregnant wife. As if th
Rose pov.I casually threw the business card in the shopping bag, not like I'm thinking about ever using it. Nick belonged to my past now and no matter how much he pesters me he's not gonna enter my present again.When I got home I received a call from Grandma and I went to meet her after putting the grocery bag. Meeting her would definitely do some good to me and help me take my mind off Lorcan and Meera."Rose, my baby, I'm so glad you could come," She said with a smile, pulling me inside the house. "Come, have a seat. I have something to talk to you about."I sat down beside her, and couldn't help the curiosity as to what she wanted to talk to me about. I have always admired her wisdom so I knew that whatever she had to say would be important."Sure, Grandma," I nodded, listening carefully to her."I have been thinking a lot about this," she began. "And I think that you should also go to the company to help Lorcan."I frowned, my heart pounding with both anticipation and trepidatio
Lorcan's pov.As I entered Meera's office, I noticed her sitting at a corner table. She was on the phone when I approached her. Her brows were furrowed, and her voice was slow yet she looked quite pleased to whoever she was talking to.After a while when she noticed me standing there she ended the call, and gestured to me to move towards her. Her eyes lit up and she smiled, I settled into the chair opposite her."That was the producer," She answered before I could ask her first. "He was asking about the filming schedule. I had to tell him that I wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be able to consider filming for the time being."I frowned, puzzled by her response. "But I thought you were excited about the film. So why back out now?"Because it's really strange how the producer agreed to her so easily for the position in the film. I know him and he's not easy to work with so how does she manage to make him give her the role and now she has retreated from the movie just as easily. I don't
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
