101. ~Rowan~

_________________...It had been a week since Gabby and Eric left. I still lived at Eric's apartment though I did not know why. I basically spent most of my awake hours with Rory and our daughter. I wanted to ask her if I could move into Gabby's room. But I did not want to push her this time. I mean, yes, I did want to push her, woo her, make her mine again. But I did not want to do any of this without her consent. And full consent at that. I had come to the realization that because Rory loved me, I always ended up confusing her. I confused her and played her feelings into getting what I wanted from her. It was what I had been doing. I was not proud of it but I had realized that the first step to redemption and fixing all that went wrong because of me was to admit to my wrongdoings and manipulations. So yeah, we were not going to do any of that this time. I will woo her but like how any man would woo his woman. I was not going to use our past relationship or our daughter to

__________________...I sighed in contentment as I leaned back in my chair. Susan James, who I remembered to be my assistant since I became COO, smiled at me. "Liking the electricity of authority, Boss?" Sue smiled at me. I grinned back at her. "Sure do, Sue, sure do." "You remember me?" She asked uncertainly. "My memory is almost completely back, Sue." I nodded at her. "I say almost because I don't know for sure if I am missing something." Susan looked behind her to see that there was no one there and then quickly took a seat opposite me like she always did. "Good. So I can shit-talk about your ex-husband all I want, right Ro?" I let out a laugh. "Easy there, Sue. He is still the father of my child." Sue shrugged. My phone pinged and I looked down at it. There was a message from Derek. DEREK: I am sorry if I am disturbing you but I wanted to ask you something. My eyebrows pinched together as I typed in the response. AURORA: That's alright. Ask away. What is it?The re

___________________...I came back to my office in the jolliest mood in the longest time. We were making headway. At least Rory and I had gone from no contact to nickname basis again. I was not going to be greedy and ask for more than I deserved. I took out my phone to see if I had missed any important messages while I was with the most important person in my life. There was a message from Zoe. Messages. Fifty-three pictures from Ki's half-birthday party. I smiled as I went through them carefully, not wanting to miss the tiniest details. I grimaced at the pictures with Derek in it and grinned at the ones that featured my three-person family. I finally decided on a picture where Rory and I were holding our precious world in our arms as we kissed her cheeks. Ki, of course, was grimacing but that just made the picture all the more adorable. I set it as my phone wallpaper, letting out a sigh of contentment as I leaned back on my chair. "Everything's going to be okay now," I told

___________________...We had two tasks at hand.One, find a nanny for Ki.Two, find a bodyguard for the two of us.I should not have been involved in the second task. It was solely Rowan's idea and he should have been the only one skimming through the portfolios.But Rowan had left the job to his most trusted assistant, Joshua - if anyone forgot, I hate him with a passion and I believe the feeling is mutual - and Joshua had come up with arguably the best bodyguard the best security company in the country could provide.Except, when Ki saw the burly giant with the inked arms and the long beard, she was traumatized and threw the biggest fit that she had ever in her life just to be taken out of the same room as him.So that left Rowan and I to choose a bodyguard who was efficient while being baby-friendly."Check Jake Abrahams."Rowan and I were currently in my office, Ki yet again kidnapped by Ashton with Shannon being there the only consolation. I don't know how Rowan puts so much

__________________..."Goodnight princess," I murmured as I kissed the top of my baby's head."She slept throughout the day." Rory sighed. "There's a high chance she won't sleep through the night."I nodded, my heart squeezing at the sight of our six-month-old daughter, Ki, nestled in her crib. Her little chest rose and fell with the steady rhythm of deep slumber.She had a frown on her face. As if she was weighed down by the pains of the world."It's okay," I said, patting his shoulder. "You've got this."I wanted to ask her if I could stay here tonight. But that would be crossing the line. I had promised myself that I would take things slow."You know," I started tentatively, "if you ever need me, I'm just a phone call away."Rory looked up, a glimmer of something unreadable in her eyes. "Thanks, but I've got it."I nodded, trying to swallow the lump in my throat."Okay, well, I'll be here tomorrow." I forced a smile. "We can go to the park before meeting with the bodyguard candi

_________________...Mary Fullilove was every parent's dream nanny.Her references were impeccable. Her experience was vast.And Ki adored her from their first meeting."She is never like this with strangers." I laughed as I looked over at Rowan who had a delighted look on his face. "I should really thank Derek for recommending you."Mary looked up and gave a tight smile. "I should thank him too for finding such a wonderful family."But there was something in her eyes that sent a shiver down my spine, something that made me question if she was truly the angel everyone made her out to be. It was a fleeting moment, and I brushed it off as exhaustion from a long day at work. After all, she had been nothing but amazing with Ki since she started.It was probably my own jealousy.Mary got to spend more time with Ki than I or Rowan did."Can I have a second with you guys?" Jake returned from a phone call.I looked over at Rowan and shrugged and we both followed the bodyguard out of the nu

______________...I caved.It was probably the dumbest idea on the planet but my stupid heart said, fuck it.So there we were, in the dimly lit bedroom, three days after he had made the offer, legs tangled together as we breathed heavily after our mutual release."I shouldn't have done this." I murmured, pushing his chest gently.Rowan's eyes searched mine in the moonlit room. "You didn't seem to mind a few minutes ago." He said with a smug smile.I smacked his chest. "Shut up."Rowan chuckled, the sound low and sexy in the quiet of the night. He leaned in closer, his breath warm against my skin. "I missed this, Rory."My heart skipped a beat. I knew I was playing with fire, but the flame was just too tempting to ignore. "It doesn't change anything between us, okay?" I whispered, already feeling the weight of our actions pressing down on me.Rowan nodded, his expression serious. "I know." He leaned in and kissed my forehead gently."This is purely sexual. Do not complicate it with

I sighed for the nth time as I went through the files."A penny for your thoughts?" Jake asked me, looking up from the book he was reading."I miss my baby." I pouted.Jake closed his book and leaned back in his chair. "It's tough, I know.""It's just... it's like every minute away from her feels like a year." I said, trying to keep the sadness from my voice.Jake nodded understandingly. "You're a great mother, Rory. And you're doing what you have to do for her future.""I know." I sighed, taking a sip of my now lukewarm coffee. "But sometimes it feels like I'm just... not enough."Jake's expression grew serious. "You can't be everything to everyone, Rory. You're doing your best, and that's all anyone can ask for.""You tell him, Jake." Rowan said as he walked in."What are you doing here?" I asked him, raising a brow."Meeting got adjourned." Rowan shrugged. "How about we go home to our baby girl early today?"I nodded, a smile tugging at my lips. "That sounds like a plan."Rowan loo

__________________________..."I have a bad feeling about this!" Jake murmured as I tried Rory's number for the nth time."I'm going to the park. Something's off." I told him, my heart racing."Let's go together," Jake offered, his eyes sharp.I nodded, and we sprinted down the escalator of the mall. We had been looking for Ki and Mary here."What if they are not there?" I panted, my legs burning from the run."Then we widen the search," Jake said grimly.We dashed out of the mall into the blinding sunlight, our eyes scanning the bustling street. The park was only a few minutes away, and the tension grew with every second that ticked by."What could have happened?" I whispered to myself, fear for Ki gnawing at my insides. Now Rory was also not picking up the phone.I had a bad feeling about all of this.The park was eerily quiet, not a soul in sight.We reached the parking lot. Something glinting on the ground caught my sight.A phone.Rory's phone.My heart sank. "Jake, look." I p

_____________________..."Derek?" I was still stumped by the revelation. "Derek, why are you doing this? Is this because of Ophelia?"Derek stepped into the light, his expression cold and unrecognizable. "This isn't about Ophelia, Rory. This is about what you took from me."I stared at him, confusion and fear mingling. "What are you talking about?""You. You took away yourself from me. I had the perfect life planned out for the both of us but you kept going back to that bastard who had the least respect for you.""What are you talking about, Derek? I never even knew you felt like that." I was more stumped by the latest revelation."How would you know?" He let out a humorless chuckle. "You were too wrapped up around Rowan Keller to actually notice other people's feelings.""I'm sorry," I whispered, trying to keep the tremble out of my voice. "But this isn't the way to deal with it. Let me go, and we can talk about this."Derek's eyes narrowed. "You don't get to tell me what to do an
