Rosalie sniffed and laid on the bed in the hotel she was in. Her heart ached and her cries muffled into the pillow.It was devastating. Sophia didn't have to be that man's daughter. It was degrading that she would fight her half-sister for a man. She couldn't bring herself to do it.Her tears fell and she sniffed repeatedly. It had only been more than half a day and she missed him already. She shut off all her internet connection so nobody could get through to her on social media after their repeated calls. She was tired and they had to let her be.She gripped herself firmly as tears ran down her face effortlessly. She missed Xander. She missed him. She wanted to pick the call, yell at him and tell him what was wrong but she couldn't.All she wanted was to be away from him yet to be close to him. She licked her lips and inhaled.It was because of him that her half-sister hated her. Could they really fight over a man?Alexander had some battles he was fighting. Was it good to leave him
"Mr. Alex?" Raphael called and Rosalie moved away from Alexander. She bit the insides of her cheeks and batted her lashes as she tried to hide her shyness.Well, someone just caught her kissing him in the jail."Yes?" Alexander walked towards the iron bars and at once, the earlier officer approached them. Rosalie blinked rapidly. She shook her head and held on to Alexander."He… don't let him take me," she clutched tightly to him and Alexander sighed. He grabbed her face and held her close, "don't worry, I'll get out of here.""Okay," Rosalie whispered as the officer reached them. "You have to leave ma'am," the officer deadpanned and her lids became teary.She sniffed and bit the insides of her cheeks. Only heaven knows why she was getting emotional. Because she couldn't leave her husband."Rosie," Alexander pulled her to him and wiped the tear that cascaded her cheeks, "I'll be out soon, promise?""Okay," Rosalie whispered as she was finally forced out. She held the iron bars tightly
Rosalie's POVI sat unblinking as I registered the news. I was with Xander's baby? I was pregnant! I sniffed and bit my lips.What was I going to do? I had never been pregnant. Was it even right to be? Of course not, in this situation, it was wrong. A tear fell down my cheeks and I took my hands to my tummy.A life was in me? How will Xander feel? Will he be delighted? Does he even want a baby? I sniffed as I wiped my tears. Was it the reason for my blurry visions? Heavens!"Have this," Mum dropped a plate beside me and uncovered it. At once, my insides churn and I salivated. I've been hungry for days!"Thank you," I whispered and dug into it at once. At that moment, all their gazes were on me."I'm glad you're okay," Aria muttered as I ate. "Why will you even go off?""I was so scared," mum chipped in. "I was scared for my daughter. I promise I'm sorry," mum cried as I chewed. "I hate that it's because of me you're in such an emotionally devastating condition. I'm sorry,""It's okay,
—————A/NOkay guys, I'm sorry for the late update. Really sorry. I've started updating and I will wrap it up soon.Meanwhile, tell me what you think of Rosalie's plan. Some kind of delusion, haha.And yes, your critiques are welcomed.Thanks for giving this book a chance! It means a lot!————Rosalie's POVThink. I knew I got to think. I had to come up with a solution for the sake of my baby. For the sake of its father. I sniffled repeatedly as I let my butt sink to the bed once more."Relax, Rosie, you'll think of a solution soon. Relax." Aria cooed as she held my hand and I nodded slowly.I nodded repeatedly as I stayed in my thoughts. If Raphael was already trying to get evidence, will Collins be aware? Where'd he even go to get the evidence?At their drug warehouse? If he's there, would he get it? Would he have to fight them alone? He'd need support! Of course he would.I swallowed hard as I glanced around, a million thoughts swimming in my head. Thoughts of Xander. Of Collins. H
My legs carried me as fast as they could as I got out of the taxi and there, I was, in front of the magnificent building where Collins resided. After Aria and I spoke, she finally let me go with the word that she'd check on me every hour. And now, I sent a text to her that I was fine before I headed towards the building.Lights glittered around the building housed by front fences and the earlier panic jumped into my chest. The panic I felt seeing my Xander being arrested.A lump rose to my throat as I wondered if it'd be that easy to get words out of Collins."Relax Rosie, it's just a speech. You can yell at him and not do it directly."With those words, I calmed the anxiety that was slowly building up before I moved towards the gateAnd then anger, coupled with rage replaced the anxiety in me and the next second, I was knocking hard on the gate."Is anybody in? Anyone in? Who is in, huh?"As I took my fist to knock once more, the gate creaked open and I was faced with the gateman"M
"Shit," Aria's fist around the phone tightened as she tugged on her hair. What the hell? Why the hell would she spend a night in that place?It was morning already. What could have happened? Was she trying to get a conversation with Collins and slept off?Aria slammed the phone against the taxi when she called again and Rosalie didn't pick up. The rays hit her eyes but it wasn't the problem at the moment.The problem was Rosalie. She fucking spent a night with Collins. Aria struggled to swallow her anxiety as she stared out of the taxi."How many minutes more before we reach the station?" She questioned in a haste. She was getting impatient already."Two." The driver replied.Sighing, she relaxed into the seat. She was in the taxi to see Alexander. It was still early and it wasn't time for his trial yet. She didn't get the address from Rosalie so she was going to Alexander to tell him to send people to go see what's wrong with the love of his life.Anxiety rising two minutes passed an
"What?" Alexander's voice was barely in a whisper, "what do you mean?""She is pregnant. She found out at the hospital."For seconds, Alexander's grip slipped off the iron bars. She was pregnant. She had a life inside her. His right? Yes. She was pregnant for him.Rosalie was pregnant for him. Alexander chuckled as he exhaled, "my baby?" He laughed again before he processed it once more.She was pregnant and out there in Collins' hold."And you let her go to his house? Goddamn it! Goddamn it!" His fist met the iron bars startling Aria till she moved back."Did she go with Raphael? How did she go? Why did she go there in her state? What were you doing? What kind of a friend are you?""You can stop me from entering her house but couldn't stop her?""She insisted," Aria found her voice."Insisted really? Really? Goddamn it!" Alexander hit the bars once more, the pain shooting through his hand nothing compared to the urgency in his heart. "Did she call? Nothing?" He added seeing Aria's pl
Rosalie's POVMy eyes widened as we both maintained a gaze, the shock still overwhelming. They knew? How? When? How…"Oh look she's so shocked," Sophia laughed as she turned to Collins. "She thought she was about to save the love of her life. Awwn, nice dreams," She chuckled before gazing down at me and at once, her hand grabbed a fistful of my hair, drawing a whimper out of my throat."Let go of me, let go of my head," I spat out the tiny fragments of the apple left in my mouth as I struggled to take my head off Sophia's hands."The moment you walked in," she chuckled before grabbing my hair hard and yanking my head backwards, "we fucking knew," and at once, her hand dived into my hair, pulling out the bug."We fucking knew," Sophia laughed as she released me and took a step backwards, her eyes trailing the bug."What do we do with this, Collins?" She glanced at Collins who only maintained a neutral gaze, "let her shove it down her throat or what?"At that, I swallowed hard as I stru
