Chapter 91

James’s POVI was asleep after a bad night when the call came; Rosa squirmed next to me, indistinct mumblings in her sleep as I searched for my phone on the nightstand.“Bethel?” When I woke up and saw her name pop up on the screen, I said.I felt toneless with my ears. The line crackled and I heard her voice — tiny, shaky — not at all like my whole life, little sister. “James… Can I come over?”Basic words but her voice was shaking and adrenaline flooded my veins.Yes, of course I replied immediately and straightened up. “What’s going on? Are you okay?”I just—I just need to see you, she managed, her voice breaking. “Please.”Get me,' I said, already tossing off the blankets to get out of bed.Overload, she panicked, but wasn't The Girl at all. "No!" “I’m already outside.”I felt like I froze, stuck on the weight of her words—no “inside” but rather an “outside?”“Yes. I— I had nowhere else to go.Rosa flopped down next to me, her expression going from confusion to worry as I told her

Chapter 92

Rosa’s POVI was closing my laptop for the night when the email came through. The subject line was unambiguous: “Worldwide Opportunity; Lets Partner Up.”I skimmed the message, and my heart raced. It was for a large European distributor with connections to Milan, Paris and London. To welcome Rosa's Boutique into one of the most sought-after markets in fashion — to partner with me.This was the dream—the same one I had been cultivating since my childhood bedroom sketches. And that was international, which means prestige and influence—and a chance to show the world my work could stand alongside the greats.But as I was feeling the thrill, another thought intruded — James.We had worked so hard to put back together what we lost, to have a life where we could flourish together. But would this decision shatter the delicate status quo we had established?On the drive home that night, I was tempted to bring it up, but even as I crawled into bed next to him later that evening, I mulled over t

Chapter 93

Rosa’s POVIt was the middle of a staff meeting at the boutique that day when the call came. My assistant stepped up to me, and whispered that my mother was calling. A phone call from her was not so strange; the timing, however, was odd. My stomach twisted when I heard her voice on the other end of the line.She said, more clipped and tense than during anything else she'd thrown Rosa's way. “We have a problem.”An hour later, I was in the study of the Andrew family estate, staring across the desk at my father. My mom paced the room, her hands clasped in front of her.“What’s going on?” I'm thinking, my stomach swirling at the thought.My dad sighed, rubbing his face with a hand. There has been an allegation, he said. A person associated with the company says that I may have committed embezzlement.The words knocked the breath out of me. “What?”My mom shook her head so quickly I could almost hear the snap of it. “You know your father, Rosa. He would never do something like that.'Well

Chapter 94

Rosa’s POV“James, have you heard of this dude before? Come on, I suggested, sliding my phone across the dining table. This was just a quick blurb from a business article, but it twisted my stomach.James looked at the screen, brows tight. “Nathan Caldwell? He's a new investor in my tech venture. Why?”Now, I paused because I wasn't sure how to then address this. “Belmont Holdings, he is also named as a major shareholder in the company,” I said cautiously.James sat back in his chair, perplexed. “Bellmont? Isn't that one of The Patron's competitions?“Not just a rival,” I said; my tone was pointed. They have been trying to take down The Patron for years! Whenever we start something new, they are the first to gossip and do underhanded deals."James just looked at me and my honesty hung in the air between us. You think this is about you?“I don’t know,” I admitted. “But it feels… off. Out of the blue, a guy like Caldwell is interested in your company — why?When I first met Nathan Caldw

Chapter 95

Rosa’s POVIt had been a date circled on the calendar for months. Our Anniversary—November 14th And it wasn't just any anniversary, either. This one felt huge, a celebration of everything that brought James and me to the moment.We had changed from when we got married — about 4 years previously. That union had been arranged out of a sense of duty, not love. But now? We were now at that stage of fighting for each other, building something real.This anniversary was supposed to be special, one reflecting on how far we had come. I spent weeks organizing a surprise for us: booking a private dinner on the same lake where we were slowly starting to put the pieces back together. I had booked the exact same boat, engaged a string quartet to perform James's favorite classical music, and even created a bespoke gown.Well, naturally as the day drew closer, I became even more excited. So when James still hadn't brought up the date by the morning of, a tiny ball of anxiety started growing in my ch

Chapter 96

Rosa’s povIt was an ordinary day at the boutique gentle chimes from the door as early customers wandered in, and around me hunters clinked against one another like notes rising from a symphony; my team getting ready to face the day ahead. But then it changed so fast everything was unexpected.I was working harder than normal lately, caught in that balancing act of building a medium-sized business while wanting to prove myself — to make sure I was not just acceptable but outstanding. It was everything, an icon of my evolution, something for me to call my own and prove that I had changed after feeling like such a freaking failure in life. I had come too far to afford letting it slip. I had been so obsessed with getting everything perfect, that I forgot about my health.It hasn't been so much a surprise as it has been an inevitability— the acute headaches, the ever-present sense of fatigue, no matter how well and often I slept. An instinctive understanding that something was wrong. But

Chapter 97

James’s POVI watched Rosa sleep next to me. The sound of the machines beeping served as a constant reminder for how fragile life can be. I had seen the woman I loved collapse and it had almost broken me only hours ago. I had never experienced fear like that—heavier than the weight of the world. But now, with her hand in mine, I realized how much I'd gotten used to having her around.Rosa was my everything. I would not have even known who I was, had it not been for her. I thought I had everything except that, but at the time, losing her, too — this was unbearable. I didn’t imagine life without her light, without her warmth.And so the hours went on, and I sat there tousling her hair, thinking that this was just a scare. She had to get better,right? But I instinctively knew this was more than a wake-up call regarding my health. It was a wake-up call. Both for her and for me.Rosa’s POVHere I woke up to the same smells of the hospital room, sterile but comforting. James was still there

Chapter 98

James’s POVFrom the doorstep, I watched as Rosa and the new designer, Gabriel, leaned over a sketchpad with their heads almost touching. He said something that made her laugh, and God it was a sweet, sincere sound. My chest tightened.It wasn’t just his charm. It wasn’t his skill. That smile, the way he brought it to her face as if there was a part of my girlfriend that only I could visit but somehow he had widespread access. With each second, the twist in my gut only became tighter.I told myself it was nothing. That I was being ridiculous. Rosa was never a workaholic, and Gabriel had always been one of her colleagues at best. And yet, as they interacted and smiled at one another his confidence intimidated me.She had relied on me so very much. She had let me in after all of the chaos I created. But now with Gabriel here, something felt a little… different. As if she was getting farther and farther away.I knew I had to trust her. I’d promised her I would. But the voice in my head —

Chapter 99

James’s POVI hadn’t heard from Claire in years. So when her name popped up on my phone one late evening, I was caught off guard.“James,” she purred through the phone, her voice as familiar as ever, sending a strange shiver down my spine. “It’s been too long.”I couldn’t help but feel an unsettling mix of emotions. Claire had been a part of my life before Rosa, before everything I’d built. She was part of a chapter I had long closed. She had always been unpredictable, intense, and full of surprises—and I had never quite known where I stood with her.“Claire,” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady. “What’s going on?”She chuckled softly, as if we were picking up where we left off. “Just wanted to see how you were doing. You’ve been on my mind a lot lately.”I hated that she still had this power over me, that my heart rate picked up just hearing her voice.“I’m doing great,” I said, forcing a more neutral tone. “I’m in a committed relationship now, though. I’m happy with where I am

Chapter 100

Rosa’s POVThe first day of school for Emma was the moment I had been excited about, and also scared about. It seemed my little girl was growing up and I didn’t like it. She had been my everything, and now she was getting ready to embark on her first steps out of the bubble that was our home. I saw her rearranging her backpack, little body disappearing under big straps.“Are you getting ready for your first day, sweetheart?” And I said, rising to one knee beside her.She grinned her eyes bright with enthusiasm, and a little apprehension. “I think so, Mommy.”I held her face and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. “You’re going to do great. I love you.”She perked an eyebrow, Looks shocked at me from sharing her bed and said, I love you too mommy followed by darting to the door.At the same time, seeing her so big yet so little was bittersweet. As I geared up for another whirlwind day at the office, I pulled myself together. It had been going really well for her, and with success cam
