EDENIt had been particularly cold that day which made it easier for me to fall asleep.I'd stopped having naps in the afternoon for a while. What happened to Alicia scared me, and I feared that with the way I stressed myself, it would happen to me too.Although Roman made sure that a nurse came around everyday to check our blood pressure and make sure that everything was fine, I was still scared.It wasn't long after I fell asleep that I began to dream.Well, it wasn't a dream per se but a vision.I was standing in front of a large body of water. What was I doing here? “You have to hurry!” A voice behind me startled me “Belle is in danger! You have to save her.”I couldn't see who was talking but the voice sounded familiar. I jolted away, looking around for a moment to make sure that I was in the real world. I had a dream… Belle!I got down from the bed as fast as I could with my big round belly and ran out. My visions were always right and I wonder what form of danger she could be
ROMAN“Roman!”I turned around just in time to see Belle's body hit the ground. My mind cleared at that moment and I ran over to her, picking her up.“Quinn, call the doctor! Call the doctor now!”I laid her in my room, and placed her on my lap, hoping to warm her up. I momentarily glanced at Eden who was freaking out.“It’s going to be okay, baby. Nothing is going to happen to her. Just relax.”I tried warming her up with my hands and even putting her against my bare chest but it was like it made things worse.“Roman, she's losing color.”I looked down at her. Her former bluish color has not turned to white and even down to her lips.“Shit. Someone get the damn doctor!"I had to check if her heart was still beating. My fingers pressed against her neck, feeling around and when I couldn't find a pulse, my heart started to beat quickly.“What? What is it?” Eden noticed the distress on my face.I quickly changed my expression.“Nothing, it's nothing.”She wiped the tears on her face.“Sh
EDENI dragged the wet towel across her forehead and placed it back into the bowl of cold water.It has been three days and she still hasn't woken up. The doctor faithfully paid visits to her daily at Romans’ request, his concern etched on the furrowed lines on his forehead. He was just as confused as we were.Why hadn't she woken up yet?Her vitals were stable, so far, and based on his examinations, there was nothing wrong with her so why wasn't she waking up?I checked time and time again to make sure that she was still breathing. Roman had told me that there was no reason to worry but I couldn't help it. My child wasn't waking up she was showing no signs of waking up so I should be worried.I was still very mad at Roman because this was all his fault. He brought that boy into this house and he almost killed her.What would have happened if I didn't have that vision?Or what would have happened if I didn't find her in time?Yet Roman hadn't done anything about it. I didn't care what
ROMANMy mind wasn't at peace today. There were a lot of things going on and it seemed like I was the one to solve them all.Eden was mad at me over the whole Rowan thing and frankly, her anger was justified. Her child had been out at risk and I know it seemed like I was supporting him but I wasn't.I just didn't want to chase him away. I felt some sort of obligation towards him as his father. Quinn still hadn't brought the footage so until she did so and I watched it, I'd hold off on making my decision.I didn't want to leave him to the mercy of Elena. She may not treat him well since her plan with me didn't work out. She may blame him for it. Having her as a mother was one thing but then, being her punchbag was something I wouldn't allow.Then there was still the issue of Henry missing. Frankly, I was at a loss for what to do regarding that.There were no leads whatsoever and it felt like I was making Alicia lose hope but I was trying my best.Issue number three was that Belle hadn'
EDENI felt the space beside where I laid my head dip and that could only mean one thing. I didn't raise my head or open my eyes immediately because I had stayed up all night waiting for her to wake up.It had been five days already and I was barely at peace because of it. her hand had twice yesterday but that was sall. She didn't wake up and I had to ask Roman to call the doctor to do a thorough checkup.The doctor advised that we bring her to the hospital for scans so they can check her entire body which we did and so far, the only problem was that her sugar was a bit low but that wasn't enough to make her not wake up.Not being able to sleep, I stayed at her bedside and hoped that she would just open her eyes. Ethan had come around and asked what was wrong with her and I just had to tell him that she was really really tired.He had been asking so many questions about her and I had run out of lies to tell him.When I felt but me, my eyes flew open immediately and I met with her eye
ROMANI was in my office when Quinn walked in. I hadn’t seen her since that day and I had wanted to speak to her but a lot of things have been going on.After I got information that Belle had woken up, I’d abandoned everything that I was doing and rushed to her. Quickly rushing her to the hospital, the doctor said that she was fine and everything was going to be okay.Eden still wasn’t speaking to me since everything had happened and I didn’t even know where to start from. After I was back from the hospital, I came across a file on my table that contained the list of men that I wanted to join the army.After finishing up with the file, I went back to the room to speak to Eden. I haven't spoken to her in days and it was killing me. I knew that she was mad at me and I had accepted my fault in all of this but unfortunately, there was little to nothing that I could do.She didn't want to listen to me, she just turned to face the wall and went to sleep.She dropped her phone on my table.“
ROMANI dropped everything I was doing since my brain couldn’t fathom anything I was reading. Thi Was the first time I would panic when a declaration had been given to me. In fact, this was the first time that a declaration would be given to me because I was the one always giving them out and since I was on the council, it made things easier for me.But it seemed things had changed since the last time I was there. Were they nuts? THow could they approve such a thing knowing fully well the stakes at hand. I wasn't alone, I had my family to think about and they had gone to do this.“Quinn! Lucian!” I knocked on the door and they both came out immediately.“Get the car ready. We’re going to see the council. This madness has to end today.”“What’s going on? Why are we going there?”I looked towards the stairs before opening my mouth but Lucian interrupted us.“Let’s go. We’ll talk in the car.”As we were loaded in the car, Quinn turned to me.“Roman, what is it? You’re scaring me.”“The
QUINN“I feel like this dress makes me look fat. I look like the wicked stepmother from movies.”Alicia turned to give me a look before continuing to search through the closet for a dress.“You’ve said that about every dress that you’ve worn.”“Because it’s true.”“No, it’s not. You’ve actually looked really good in everything that you’ve worn so there is no need to feel like this. I'm sure Lucian will find you very pretty and maybe at the end of the night, the dress might not even matter anymore.”My mouth dropped as I processed what she said.“You shouldn’t be saying these kinds of things with that bay in your tummy.”Alicia laughed.“I told her before but she doesn't listen.”“Well, that’s not going to be an issue because if this baby is anything like Roman, then no matter what I do, he will be like Roman.”“I found it!” Alicia announced.It was a very beautiful, long red dress with a very high slit and deep cleavage.“That is…that is going to get me places I don't want to go. Let
