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,
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.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
Rosalyn's pov.In the church.In the ceremony, taking a deep breath and sucking in my nervousness, I walked towards the man who I have been in love with for a long time. I gazed at the man of my dreams with a wide smile as I felt like I couldn't be more happy than this.It's like I have achieved everything and now I just look forward to my happy marriage days.Nick, my incredible husband, offered his hand to me, his eyes gleaming with adoration as he looked down at me as if he had gained all the happiness in this world. His expression resembles my own."You look really beautiful," He whispered with a hint of giddiness and I felt my face burning."You too," I told him back with a shy expression while the priest read the speech."You can exchange the vows now," the priest says.“I, Rosalyn Falone, take you, Nick Burke, to be my wedding husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until de
"You’re right! Nick, I love you so much! You always think about me, worrying that birthing will hurt my body too much, and you even wrong yourself to marry that idiot.” Ana's words explained my confusion.These words were like a stab in my chest. I couldn't bear their mocking laughs anymore.Slamming the door open, I caught them off guard as they yelled. My eyes burned when I saw their naked and attached bodies. The view was disgusting enough to make me want to puke."Rosalyn, w-what are you doing here?" Nick asked with a stunned and scared face."Why am I here?!" I snarled with a violent wrath present in my voice, deep drowning in the rage of betrayal and disloyalty which I got back in exchange of pure and blind love. "I'm surprised at how shameless you are. You still have the audacity to ask the question, huh? You cheater asshole?""Well, since there's nothing to hide anymore, might as well close the door while you live because you see, we are not done yet," he snickered, Ana joinin
I don't know how or when I was taken to the hospital. All I met was an unfamiliar ceiling of the hospital ward after waking up while tubes attached to my hand. I hissed from the pain in my head where I found bandages instead of the blooded wound."Ah, you're awake I see," The Doctor said when she entered the ward."Yes," I let out as she took her time to examine my wounds, before coming and standing in front of me with an odd look on her face which made me frown in confusion."Your wounds are okay. You're also ready to discharge, however, there's an issue that I would like to talk with you about before you leave," She told me which kinda made me nervous."Alright," I nodded, waiting for her to continue."We have given you a premarital along with a few blood tests and it shows that the quality of your follicles is very poor," She explained but I didn't quite understand her, then she continued taking in my confusing look. "Many white-collar women face such problems nowadays, because of
The next day, even though everything is a mess, I mustered the courage to go to work. I don't even remember at what time I went to sleep at night with my sore eyes. My eyes were puffy and were swollen in the morning but I still tried to get myself in the usual work mood.Currently, I'm the same girl that was forced to fight alone. I should be strong enough for myself.I have a lot to deal with, including the suffering and debt my so-called husband left for me to pay as well as the stress and confusion associated with deciding whether to have a child. However, working all day while distracted was even worse."Still daydreaming about your marriage," I heard my colleague sneering. Snapping back to reality, I diverted my eyes off the computer and looked at him, he was leaning against the desk with a cup of coffee in his hands. "You should focus on your work while you're at the office.""It’s none of your business." I replied with a deadpan glance.He chuckled without any humour, his eyes
I have never felt something like that, never have been so scared. No, I was petrified. The intensity of my fear could be seen on my forehead and palms in the form of cold sweat, and from my rapid and troubling breaths.I returned back to the motel. I didn't even change and freshen up when I heard a loud and aggressive knock on my door. And maybe because I was so exhausted that I opened it without any thought. But what was waiting for me outside gave me the shock of my life!A row of men in black suits stood in front of me.They didn't give me any time to breath or yell and out of nowhere grabbed me and began to drag me with them. I wanted to scream for help but didn't got any chance as they escorted me into a car, and soon my mouth and wrist were bounded with a cloth and taken to a luxurious house."Who are you all?" I asked, trying to sound chill.They didn't answer and took me inside.A man was sitting on the leather sofa, wearing a dark blue three-piece. He didn't answer me yet but
No! I can't let him win like this. I won't come off as weak and helpless. I know I'm beyond scared but that doesn't mean I'm fragile enough to let him walk all over me and snatch my child away just like that.Money? Does he really think I want his money?"Yes, I'm broke right now but I won't sell my child to you for money. In fact, as long as you're willing to investigate, I don't choose to be a surrogate for the money, I just fucking want my own kids!" I yelled at him.My heart was beating harder. It was the first time I was speaking out loud to someone. I always thought that being kind would save you as much trouble as possible, but the irony is that trouble always comes to kind people. Although all of this should be caused by Nick, but he disappeared, and the bad luck brought me a demon, who wanted to rob me of my child.I stared at him angrily, and I was pretty sure I wouldn't back down if he pointed a gun at me, but my little unborn baby... am I going to lose him?Could this demo

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
