"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
MAX POVI got home that day, my blood boiling. Rose was seriously asking for more than she could take on. It wasn’t like I had wanted to her to get an abortion because I didn’t want to take responsibility for him, as I had stated earlier. If only Rose knew why I had opted for that option. Jason had really got my heart from the first time I met him, and I just couldn’t let that kid go. I felt really tired and worn out, due to everything that had happened today. While I was used to keeping late nights, I didn’t know why I was exceptionally tired today. As a man with many enemies and a billion dollar empire worth of coke and oil, I had many enemies and I couldn’t just go to bed any time I wanted to. A knock came through the door, interrupting my train of thoughts. “Come in.” I said.A man came through the door. He was the one I had put in charge of the investigation concerning the missing kids. “Boss, there had been some illegal activities downtown, and I suspected that the traffick
