Prologue - Rose

“What does that mean?!”The sound of her husband’s growl made Rose swallow hard, but not out of fear. After spending an entire year preparing for this moment, she really had thought that she would be calmer and even content at this moment. But, as she turned towards Aaron, Rose realized that the only thing she had done was fooling herself. Because, seeing him standing in the middle of that office, his suit jacket tossed aside, the top buttons of his shirt undone, his dark brown hair disheveled and his eyes as dark as a moonless night covered in na expression of revolt , as if she had just cheated on him, Rose couldn’t help but remember the day they had become husband and wife in that same office. Of course, the version of Aaron that was before her now was very different from the man she had met that day and, maybe that’s why her heart was so tight when she had to say that sentence.“These are the divorce papers.” She explained, adjusting her glasses nervously on the bridge of her nose

Chapter 1 - Rose

All her life, in movies and romance novels, Rose Springs had been told so many times that her wedding day was the happiest day of a woman’s life that, even subconsciously, she had believed it would probably be hers, too. But, at that moment, looking down at the mothball-smellingwhite linen pants her mother had forced her to wear, she could only think it was a shame that little dream wedding myth couldn’t apply to her right now.“What the hell, Rose! Fix that posture of yours! Do you want Mr. Vamcap see you bent over like a shrimp and give up on the marriage?” as if that irritated snarl wasn’t enough, a pair of rough hands grabbed onto Rose’s shoulders and straightened them forcibly, surely eliciting a cracking sound from her bones that couldn’t be heard, because her mother still hadn’t stopped her litany. “I told your father those etiquette lessons would be missed at a time like this! But he had to want to skimp on something so important…”“I doubt that Mr. Vamcap would mind if I was

Chapter 2 - Rose

Rose imagined many things as she walked through the halls of the huge and imposing Vamcap mansion, being followed by her mother, cousin and sister, arm in arm with her father of the huge Vamcap mansion, while thinking about what her future husband would be like. She imagined him as a decrepit and disgusting old man, as na immature and arrogant boy her age and even as a frightening and ghostly figure, like Bram Stoker’s Dracula. However, when the four finally stopped in front of a large solid wooden door and an elderly man dressed as a butler allowed them to pass, Rose discovered that reality was very different from what she had imagined.Inside the room, which she realized was na office, there were only two people. One of them was a pleasant-looking woman dressed in a well-tailored suit who was arranging various papers on the table, so averse to the uncomfortable atmosphere that prevailed there that it wasn’t hard for Rose to guess that she was probably just responsible for validating

Chapter 3 - Rose

Growing up with parents like Michael and Elisabeth, learning to be patient and mask her emotions was not only a necessity for Rose, but also a way to survive, mostly. Which didn't mean, of course, that she had simply become immune to negative feelings and that, from time to time, her temper didn't threaten to get the best of her. Like at that moment.“So, what are you saying…” she took a deep breath before continuing to talk to Jullian, knowing that he wasn't to blame for the situation, as he had even tried to inform her in a gentle way “It's just that your boss won't allow me to leave the mansion because he's afraid I'm working as a spy for my parents, but he won't walk around freely either, because my presence disturbs him?"“Uh…” Jullian looked away, as if he was embarrassed “Those wouldn't be the words I would choose. But, yes, in short, Mr. Vamcap thinks it would be wiser if you could avoid going out too far and avoid certain specific wings of the mansion, as I mentioned yesterda

Chapter 4 - Rose

For a few moments, she even thought that her attempts weren't working, but, just as one of the small paper airplanes she was throwing in the air ended up hitting the back of the boy's hands and landing in his lap, Rose hid a smile, as she continued to pretend she wasn't paying attention to him, continued to sit on the grass folding paper into origami figures and more and more paper airplanes and boats. Out of the corner of her eye, she watched the little boy fearfully catch the little plane that had crashed into him, watching him in fascination, before shifting his gaze in her direction and looking closely at the way her hands were moving and folding the paper, until, as she imagined, he began to undo the folding that was in her little hands and try to imitate what she was doing, without much progress, of course. Again with a secret smile, remembering how she and Grace had done the same thing when they were his age and learned to make those paper toys, she started to make an even big

Chapter 5 - Rose

"Are you sure it's safe this time?" Rose asked with a sigh, as she accompanied Jullian through the halls, to where he had promised her there would be a library where she could spend her time without disturbing the all-too-sensitive Vamcap.“This time I made sure it did. There will be no more slips of that nature again, I assure you.” the butler assured, in a tone as troubled as hers, "Young master Alec shouldn't be in the garden this morning..."“I wasn't mistreating him.” she felt the need to say it, though she knew anyone with eyes could have seen it, watching the two of them playing together.“I know not. In fact, I haven't seen Alec this excited about something in a long time." Jullian smiled, speaking of the boy as fondly as if he were her own grandson, “He would certainly love to see you again, but… Mrs. Vamcap is the matriarch of the family and her word is law, as much as Mr. Vamcap. So there is no possibility of

Chapter 6 - Rose

Seething with rage, Rose stormed away from there as fast as she could, stomping on the bright carpet, clutching her notebooks in her hands like she wished she were squeezing that hateful bastard's neck, right now... “Rose!” a childish voice, low and excited, called to her nearby and, startled, Rose froze at the head of a hallway she had just entered and, looking to the side, noticed Alec's smiling face peering through the crack of the door just to the right beside her, almost like he was on a secret mission to find her “Hi!” “Hello to you too, Alec.” she chuckled softly, deeply grateful that he and his lovely presence were helping her to clear out all that pent-up anger inside her. "It's so good to see you again." bending down so that their faces were at the same level, Rose reached out and gently stroked his hair. "But, you're not going to get in trouble for talking to me now, are you?" "Well... Jullian told me I couldn't come out to play with you anymore... But he never said anyth

Chapter 7 – Rose

"You won't be able to find me this time!" Alec secured behind her, making Rose smile, her face pressed against the wall, as she listened to the sounds of his fading footsteps down the hall."Nine, ten! Ready or not, here I come!” she announced loudly as she started down the hall, pretending not to see Alec's shoes peeking out from under one of the curtains nearby, or his soft chuckle, as if he was sure he'd already won her over.Luckily for Rose, unlike the other two times, Jullian was right when he said that Aaron would be out of the mansion for some time, which meant that she was free to read in the library in the morning when Alec was at school, and play with him in the afternoon. However, as much as this routine that they had developed in the last three days was being great for her sanity, Rose still knew perfectly well that it wouldn't last forever. That's why she was devoting her blood, sweat and tears to finding a way to build a future for herself and Grac

Chapter 8 - Rose

As stunned as she was feeling at that moment, Rose could only remain where she was for a few seconds, blinking compulsively. However, just when she even began to question whether she was delusional or needed to clean her glasses, as that was the last thing she expected from someone who looked as proud as Adele Vamcap, they both noticed that she was there and, with a gasp, they pulled away, staring at her with horrified faces.Not understanding why they were reacting that way, since it was really surprising for her to know that they had a relationship, but it certainly wasn't the end of the world either, Rose raised both her hands, almost in a peace sign."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you." she explained, as Adele's previously horrified expression turned into a grimace of pure hatred "I don’t knew there was someone here...""You!" Aaron's grandmother roared, furious "You shouldn't be here!""Uh... I... I got lost on the way to the library."

Chapter 9 - Rose

“You know, if you have something to talk to me about, just say so.” Rose said, not even needing to turn around to know whose presence it was behind her, who had appeared while she was sitting at her bedroom desk, reading a book.“I… I'm sorry.” Jullian sighed, and finally she turned to him, realizing that her expression matched his troubled tone perfectly."What are you sorry for? For the way your boss treated me? Or your girlfriend?” Rose put the book aside, still a little irritated, though she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the man who was old enough to be her grandfather.“Both of those things… And a lot more, actually. You helped us by keeping it a secret, and there was nothing I could do to stop Adele and Aaron from offending you like that. Also, I should have trusted my gut when I got the distinct impression that you weren't what we'd imagined, but I still chose to treat you like a criminal rathe
