Rose won't give up without a fight.
It was really a hard and risky decision and process but she got a positive result.She was able to run some investigation on her mysterious man and luckily, she got a hint.Why will she let go of a multi billionaire?This is just the beginning of her fairy tale story, so she thought.Though she wants the fame badly, another reason why she was being reluctant is the fact that - he is her first.She has never had an affair with any man before, so the last thing she did with him still stick in her memory like stigma.It was hard for her to forget that night even when she was unconscious during the act.The debts were settled, her mother's health is now stable, life was beginning to be fair to them since they still had some cash remaining.May invited her to a close by cafe which she went without second thought. She needed to catch some air, she needed an advise from someone close."It's unlike you Rose, why didn't you refuse my request this time?" May asked her in surprise."The house is too stuffy since I hardly go out. I needed some air" she informed whilst taking a gulp of the wine from the glass."So, what's the recent progress? Do you still need a job at the club where I work?" May questioned."I do but I don't really think club is the best option" she refused politely."But it pay is more and you will have some days off" May urged calmly."Do you have any in your grasp?" She asked anxiously."Yes" May smiled as she drinks from the glass, then her facial expression changed when a thought slipped through her mind."Ahem!" May cleared her throat to gain Rose's attention which worked."Have you finally seen the mysterious dandy and gotten rid of the pregnancy?" May asked abruptly."Eh -- yes. I have seen the man -- and you were right, he doesn't want the baby but as for aborting it -- I --" she stopped halfway unable to find the right words to fix in.May angrily hit the table and she shivered in shock."Shit!" she cussed in contempt."You need the get rid of the baby, Rose. He doesn't want the baby, why keep it?" May exhaled."How are you going to take care of the baby alone? Do you think it's easy to become a single mother?" May ranted impatiently, she was concerned about her friend and scared at the same time."Calm your nerves down, May. I will deal with this problem alone" she smiled."Don't tell me you will keep that thing?" May's tone was now filled with annoyance.Some patron started staring at them since their discussion was becoming loud."Yes, I will keep this thing and you will be a godmother to it" she said bluntly in a sarcastic but serious tone and May scoffed."You are terrible" she hit the glass angrily on the table and Rose smiled.The two friends drink happily and went back to their various houses.Rose entered into the house and met it's silence and darkness, on her attempt to turn on the bulbs; someone coughed. It was a masculine voice and not from her mother, this triggered her to turn on the electricity bulb sharply."Who are you?" She pumped her fist preparing for a fight."Can you fight with me?" He scoffed.She approached him and had a clear view of the figure."You!" she squealed in shock.It was her mysterious man. Max."How did you get in?" she was astonished."There is nothing I can't get access to" he was being too proud."Mum--?" she beckon the check her mother's room but his voice stopped her."She is alright" he said and she exhaled."What do you want?" she turned to him holding stern glares."I only came to confirm if you have gotten rid of that thing inside of you" he bluntly spilled in contempt."Thing? I think a ' thing ' is not significant to be monitored. Why bother?" the fact that everyone was referring to her unborn child as a ' thing ' pisses her off. She queried in annoyance."As long as I call it a thing, it remains a thing" he stands from the armchair with his furrow brows as he walk towards her."I need to see the recent result. Have you taken it out?" He made an anxious come back."You are my first affair, this baby is my first child. It happened as a result of my mistake but I will not take it out" she paused."If you are not willing to be the father, you are free to leave as I will be taking care of this child alone" she said vividly looking all serious.She accomodates no fear which surprised Max."How dare you!" He grabbed her hand, wrapping it tightly whilst she winced in bits."I get to decide whether you keep it or not!" he made facts clear to her in a furious tone."Sorry to disappoint you, Daddy. I'm not going to abort my child. Nothing you do will convince me, except --" she stopped speaking."Except what?" he questioned."You are hurting me" she informed rolling her eyes towards her hand in his tight hold and with anger, he let go of her hand."Start speaking" his hands went into his trouser pocket."Except you kill me" she informed without blinking, he smirks."I see you are fearless. But how about starting the death from your poor mother?" he stared at her scornfully and her jaw dropped."My mother?" and then, her attention went back to her mother.She went straight into her mother's room but it was empty, she searched the whole apartment but her mother was no where to be found.With wide steps, she approached Max and grabbed his collar looking very angry."Where is my mother? What have you done to my mother?!" she tightened her grip in anger not minding if he was a dangerous man or whatsoever. Her mother's health matters."Are you ready to speak to me now or not?" his voice was steady.Her actions didn't move him. He was too big for matters like this."Not until you tell me where my mother is and what you have done to her?!" she wasn't willing to listen to him, he pulled her hands from his collar strongly."Call me when you want to talk and listen to me!" he snorted in anger and left the apartment.Rose fell to the ground crying in sadness, she was confused and petrified."My mother!""Bring my mother back to me" she energetically jumped from the floor in search of her phone.Max angrily entered his luxurious mansion with his trusted man behind him.His mansion glitters with beautiful lights, extravagant furnitures and wonderful artistic designs.They walk into the living room."Sir, this woman is tougher than we think" Williams paused."Do you think she will subtle?" Williams inquired anxiously."She will come and she must subtle!" Max squealed in annoyance."How can I get married to someone like her? Is she a wolf?" He queried and turns to Williams."Why can't that fucking lady get the clear fact that she is nothing but a one night stand!?" He asked in contempt and Williams shook his head in disbelieve."I --- you see, it's her decision" Williams stammered frantically as he tries to avoid the furious gaze of his boss."Where is her mother?" He questioned, exhaling deeply."She is in the basement" Williams informed and he nods without a word."Boss, do you think she will come?" Williams made a come back after a brief silence."She will be here, soon" he sm
"Finally" May exhaled before gulping down the glass of water."It wouldn't have gotten this far if you have accepted to do it" May added with smile on her face."I see you are happy to hear this" she sighed sadly."Why? Do you want to keep the child?" May asked."Of course but now it seems I can't keep it. I won't keep it" she stand firm on her word when she remembered the status of Max.Even if she wants to keep the child, she won't be able to keep it. The baby's father isn't completely human as he said."Good. Good" May nodded."I also have good news for you" May said."What is it?" she got anxious."My boss is willing to accept you into his club but you will be a waitress" May informed."It's a good position. How much is the pay?" she asked in between mood. Neither too happy or sad. "Hundred dollars every night" May informed."That's a very good deal" she smiled.New week arrived and the date for her abortion slowly got closer, she was having a second thought. Including the job
“You have successfully reached your location, welcome to Florida. Have a nice day.” the bus station continued announcing as Rose got off from the station rolling her small box.She had a small smile on her face. Coming here wasn’t as it seemed.The first cool air conditioner flushed on her face for the last time as she stepped out from the station. Only to meet the hot burning afternoon sun.She was astonished.“I heard Florida is a sun-city but I never believed it. “ she shook her head in disbelief as she advanced towards the main exit.There were designated drivers that had already been booked to pick their arranged passengers and also families waiting to welcome their loved one. So bad she didn’t have anyone waiting for her or to accept her.It was a decision to be made overnight and pushed through with it with no delay.Immediately, her phone that was in her pocket started ringing and she picked it up. Though the number was unknown, she didn’t remember sharing her new line with an
[ROSE]Florida.Things seemed to settle in after that. I got a job, to drive away the boredom, as I wasn't used to being cooped up in the house all day, doing nothing. As the months went by, my belly began to show and it was getting more and more difficult to keep up with my workaholic lifestyle. Even my boss, advised me to take it slow. Since it was a supermarket, she quickly found someone to replace me, when I got to my third trimester.My due date came and I fell into labour while trying to prepare breakfast for myself. I guess I must have screamed really loud when the first contraction came, because Mrs. Nox burst through the door and ran to me.“Get the bag and the car keys!" I breathed heavily “The baby....is coming!" I told her gripping her arm tightly, as another contraction coursed through me.She ran out of the room, and came back, just as fast.“The car is ready. . Where's the bag?" She asked frantically.I pointed to the bedroom, and when she dashed away, I slowly and car
ROSE POVJason had slept throughout the entire train ride and I was happy he woke up when the train arrived at its final destination- New York. As we got down from the train, I warned Jason to close to me as I won’t be able to hold his hands because of the bags I was carrying.He stretched out his hands towards me and I looked at him in confusion.“Mummy, your bag.” He pointed to my handbag.I smiled and removed it from my neck, giving him halfheartedly, to see if it would be too heavy for him. It wasn’t heavy, but it was too long. The train station as busy and filled as usual. People were always moving around in New York, I had no idea where to. I took in that familiar air and glanced around the always busy street– swarms of people marching past the sidewalks, like they were hypnotized. The heavy traffic had become a normal thing, due to the overpopulation here.I ended my visual excursion and hailed a cab. Seeing that Jason had begun to get exhausted. I guess I was wrong because
MAX POVI watched Rose walk away with the child in her hand. A million thoughts raced through my head, as I tried to understand what had just happened. I had been trying a new suit out when I had heard a cry of pain. I froze, hoping to be sure of what I heard. Being the man I was, I had many enemies, and they would do anything to harm me, so I had to make sure that it wasn’t a trap When I started hearing childish sobbing, I decided to go check it out, and it really was a child. He was sitting on the floor, holding his knee, Normally, I would have walked away, but this time, every time I tried to look away, my heart kept nudging me to go help him.I finally gave into the pressure and crouched in front of him, and the moment he looked at me, I froze. Those blue eyes held me in a grip that was too tight to let me go. I squinted my eyes, trying to pinpoint what it was about this child that made my heart beat faster. From his blonde hair, to his eyes, to his nose, all of which seemed to
MAX POVI had been staring for minutes. Zayne had finally brought in the folder containing the information concerning Rose and Jason. I was hesitant to open it up mostly because I didn’t want the folder to say that Rose had got pregnant after aborting my baby, and Jason wasn’t mine. Well, I guess I wouldn’t find out by just looking at the folder. The first thing I saw when in opened up the folder, was Rose’s picture. I was attracted to this woman, there was no doubt about that. I saw that she had moved to Florida three years ago, where she had given birth to Jason. That’s it! It all adds up. Three years was around the same time, I asked Rose to abort the baby. That was why she moved away, so I won't realize. Further down in the report it showed that her mother was terminally ill.Rose was really going through a lot, and I felt pity for her, Thus woman was making me feel things I never felt. Attraction, pity, patience. No one had ever made me speechless, but she and Jason had. The
ROSE POVMy mind kept wondering why Max wanted Jason, after all this time. He had been the one to say that he didn’t want Jason, and even paid a huge sum to me, to get rid of him. Now after all these years, he had the effrontery to come to me and say that he wanted a space in his life. As I had told him, over my dead body, would I allow him to take Jason away from me.“Mummy, why’re you crying?” Jason pulled at my dress, and I snapped out of my thoughts, and frowned. Truly, when I touched my face, it was wet with tears, and I quickly swiped my hands across my face. “Oh baby, mummy is fine.” I carried him and placed on my lap “I just didn’t wear my glasses and my eyes were beginning to hurt, that’s why.” I lied. He scurried of my laps, running into the house, and I watched him go. He really was a perfect replica of Max, but that didn’t matter. He ran back and he stretched his hands out to me, holding my glasses. This made me smile and I picked him up again, collected my glasses and
