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
EDENI had to tell him. I had kept it from him for too long and so getting within me was telling me that the earlier I did that, the better.I wouldn't like Roman finding out by himself. I'd been trying to reach Matilda's number for days but it wasn't going through. If even tried the other maids at the house but none of then were available.That was odd but I couldn't really lay attention to it to all that was going on on my own end.I cane down from the stairs and approached the office, waving at Coco and Belle who were talking about heaven knows what and laughing so loudly.I was so glad my baby was fine. What happened had been close. I was so mad at Roman for not doing anything but I still needed him as much as I didn't want to speak to him.My hand was raised to knock on the door but I halted when I heard voices inside.”When are you going to tell her about him? She needs to know!”That was Quinn's voice.”I will tell her. I just need some time to sort things out. She's not even s
EDENThe fact that he was mad at me made things worse for me when I was packing.He'd come back to apologize for raising his voice and being mad but he still was. I knew that normally, he wouldn't have been as mad as that but the fact that he was dealing with a whole lot made things worse.As I thought about what, I also thought about the conversation that brought all this.Cage had declared war against him. I never really feared anyone but I knew why I feared Cage coming after him.One time back home, he had gone after a young boy who had said something about his face. There was a scare on his face from a battle and it added to his intimidating look.He'd heard the kid say something about how ugly it made him and when he heard it, he went after the kid even when his parents begged for mercy and even when my father told him to let the boy go, he refused and he ended up giving the boy a scar matching his.The boy was not even up to eighteen. That was just the list of things he did to p
EDENWe didn't leave that day. The flight didn't happen due to a storm and the pilot declared us unable to fly for a few days which made me happy.It gave me time to settle things with Roman before I left. Even if he was still going to chase me away, at least, let us be on good terms. That was all I asked for.I was there when the pilot told him about the storm and he barely said anything to me.He just called a maid that was passing by.“Take the bags back to the room. There's a storm.”As he walked away, I couldn't help but notice how sexy he looked.. It was like he'd been working out a lot lately because his shoulders look broader and he looked more muscular.I shook myself out of my head when Belle ran after him.“Daddy, wait for me!”He stopped and turned around, the frown on his face disappearing and being replaced by a smile as he picked her up and kissed her on the cheek.Well, it was good to know that he was mad at only me. He called Coco to come over and then three of them d
