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
ROSE POVMax hadn't shown up at my house for a couple of days and I couldn't be happier. After the wild, very wild sex we had the other day, I would do anything to avoid him. To get my mind off Max and his presence, I decided I finally had enough courage to go see my mum. Jason was really happy about seeing his grandmother. I had make her favorite porridge and put in a flask. As I arrived at the hospital, my phone rang. “Hey May. " I said into the phone. “Hey. Where are you? I'm outside your door, and there's no one here." I slapped my palm against my forehead. I had forgotten to inform May that I was coming to the hospital. “I'm so sorry, May. I forgot to tell you I wanted to come see mum today. I'm at the hospital right now. You could come if you want." I offered. “Nah, it's fine. You need time alone with her. I actually need to get back to work. I'll stop by some other time." I ended the call as I walked towards the nurse's desk. “Good afternoon. I'm here to see Sarah
MAX POV“You’re mine.”As I said those words, I could feel the stupid heart of mine do that thing where it started beating faster for no damned reason. Apparently, it seemed like I was the only one feeling that way, because just when I thought I had successfully conveyed how I felt to Rose, she pulled away from me, and once again, did something that was punishable to a slow and painful death by my rules. She slapped me. Hard.Again. I was trying really hard not to grab her by the throat and make her beg for her life. I could feel myself twitch as I squeezed my palm as hard as possible, so my hand won’t react before my brain. “Stay away from me. Stay away from my baby and I. You never really wanted us in the first place, so why now? You lied to me Max!” She was crying and I had no idea why. Women were so darn complicated. That was why I tried staying away from all of them. “You really need to stop slapping me. Rose, can you just be rational for once? I know that I messed up befo
MAX POVHe looked me in the eye, as he stood up from the floor. Zayne moved to restrain him, but I stopped him. I wanted to see what this guy had up his sleeve. Surely, he would slip up and expose himself in some way. I watched him as he walked closer to me and I didn’t move a muscle. “You think you’re so powerful? You think you’re untouchable?” He laughed “She’s will kill you, one day. She’s is going to make you pay. Just wait. This is just the beginning of it all. She’s going to take away everything you love, the same way you took hers away.” The certainty in his voice caught me amongst other things. Who was she? And what the hell had I done to her? Sure I had killed a lot of people, and I obviously hadn’t kept track record of it all. Could this be a revengeful person? “Who’s ‘she’?” I asked him.All he did was smirk, and move backward from me. He backed up against the wall and my sixth sense told me to be alert, so I stood up from the chair, and threw it across the room. “Sh
