Chapter 42 - Rose
I have to admit, this turned out better than I imagined...” Adele commented, tapping her finger against her chin slowly as she stared at the Christmas tree there in front of her, to which Rose and Andy were finishing adding the last details “ Of course, it could be a little bigger, as our ceiling allows it, but...”
“But none of us could spend a week decorating a ten-foot-tall tree, Granny.” Andy chuckled, dangling one last colored ball from the lowest end of the pine tree “Besides, it's not like we left your favorite decorating company out of work this Christmas. They even decorated the rest of the house for us, but Rose had a great idea by suggesting we at least put up a tree ourselves this year. We haven't done this since…” she finished that thought, but just the way her expression fell and she bit her lip made Rose sure that Andy was thinking of her mother.“She would be very happy to see the good things this last yRelated chapters

With a weary sigh, Rose breathed in the cool breeze, standing on the small balcony off the Vamcaps' dining room, which was now completely empty and the long table clean, after Christmas dinner and the opening of presents. And although the day had been busy, as she needed to take care of Nick and also bake a few things, even though the Vamcaps had hired the entire state caterer to take care of supper, Rose was feeling more than satisfied with that perfect day, with the exception of Alec having been forced to visit his parents, of course.Outside, the snow had given a break, although everything around was covered in white and the lights of the city in the distance made up a very beautiful landscape, which Rose was now admiring alone. Alec, Grace and Adele had been in bed for a long time and Andy, Jullian and Aaron were probably about to go, although they had taken advantage of the occasion to drink some of the drinks from the Vamcaps' famous wine cellar, which Rose was a little s

“Are you sure this isn't too much to handle alone, Andy?” Rose asked for the millionth time that day over the phone, worried "I know Alec is very well behaved and I'm sure his friends probably are, too, but still, babysitting three kids…""Relax, Rose, and put your babysitting spirit to rest." her friend laughed on the other end of the line, at the same time that Rose could hear the voice of Alec and the other two boys talking excitedly about superheroes, nearby “The boys are much more concerned with asking every five minutes what time the movie starts and whether they can get more than one of the toys that come with the lunch, rather than making a mess. Believe me, everything is under control. If you want to worry about something, worry about yourself. You haven't even been in bed for two days, so try to relax and make sure you're fully recovered, okay?"“I'm already fine, I said. I'm just going to have the flu.” Rose shrugged, though

Feeling as if she might die of embarrassment, Rose sank into the pool again and went as close as she could to where the water was churned up by the whirlpool, leaving only her head out, knowing that with that crystal clear water, Aaron could still see her entire body, if she stayed in the quietest part. Not that she thought he would be interested in looking at her that way, but...“I… I'm sorry.” Aaron stammered and, gathering what courage she had left, Rose turned her burning face towards him, finding him on his back with the muscles in his back like rocks, they were so tense "I swear I didn't know you would be here. Alec had said he was going to the movies with his friends today, and when I called Andy, she said she was with them, so I just thought you were too..."“Uh… She made me stay home to get some more rest.” she said, between stutters, “Actually, she was the one who gave me the idea to try hydromassage for the first time
How to Divorce a Grumpy Billionaire Chapter 46 - Rose
When she first set foot in Vamcap Manor, Rose had the distinct impression that, despite her best efforts, that year would pass very slowly. Now, however, as she looked at the open calendar beside her bed, she could hardly believe that time had passed so quickly and, in a matter of just over two weeks, her marriage contract with Aaron would be over.Hugging her own legs so she could rest her chin between her knees, Rose looked around the room that had once felt cold and empty, but was now her definition of home. Over the months, not only had she bought many cookbooks and things to decorate her room, but she had even received new furniture as gifts from Andy and Aaron, however much she had refused to accept them at the time. Now, instead of a lot of dark wood and cool tones, things were decorated in light and warm pastels, matching the white wardrobe, bed and dressing table, which together made up the best and most beautiful room she had ever seen. ever had in his entire life. An

“You know what's going to happen in two weeks, don't you?”At the sound of Andy's question, Aaron looked up from his computer screen and checked the nearby calendar, becoming even more confused to find nothing important marked on any of the dates there.“Uh… should I know?” he asked his sister, earning an eye roll.“Frankly, Aaron. For someone who is in love, however in denial you may be, you are proving to be far more airheaded than I expected.”"I already told you to stop saying that kind of thing, Andrea…" Shoulders immediately tense, Aaron looked away, not wanting to give her the satisfaction of seeing how his expression got whenever he thought about Rose lately “How many times do I have to repeat it? Just because Rose and I became friends doesn't mean I have feelings for her..."“You two will be married for a year soon.” Andrea cut him off, gaining his attention immediately, so that Aar

“Thanks again for the hospitality, Mrs. Bell. It was a pleasure to visit her home. I promise I will call soon.” Rose said to the elderly woman on the other end of the call, as she finished turning off the notebook that was on top of the table in the room that, now, she and all the other Vamcaps called her office.“I'm so happy, Rose. I'll be waiting." the nice little old lady replied “You were the future tenant that I liked the most until now. I really hope you get the apartment.”“Your house is also the property that I liked the most so far. You can be sure that once I've made a decision, I'll let you know. Until later." she smiled as she hung up, although the feelings that were taking over her at that moment weren't so positive.The small one-story apartment of Mrs. Bell was certainly very lovely, although it was old and some rooms could do with a good makeover. There was enough space for her and Grace to live very well, as well a

“Okay, class, let's give a round of applause to thank Mr. and Mrs. Townsend for letting us know how a winery works and Jasmine for bringing them in today.” Mrs. Greenman, Alec's teacher, encouraged the class as the little red-haired girl's family took their seats again to the sound of class applause, although it was quite noticeable that most of the children were more concerned with talking to their parents than paying attention "Now...” the teacher held the roll call up to eye level for a moment, before smiling “How fast time has flown by. It's time for the last performance of the day. Alec and Mr. and Mrs. Vamcap, would you come over here, please?”With a smile, Rose got up from the small chair she was sitting in next to Aaron and Alec, accepting the hand that the little boy extended to her, leading them to the square and the eyes of the class, who now seemed more focused on them than all the other parents. And Rose couldn't understand why, until
How to Divorce a Grumpy Billionaire Chapter 50 - Aaron
In the hall where the principal's office was located, it was dead silent, and not just because the rest of the rooms around it were in the middle of classes, very different from Alec's. And, sitting there, watching as Rose cradled his sobbing younger brother in her arms, Aaron felt like he'd failed. The most frustrating kind of failure, where he had tried everything he could to make that little boy happy and not let Alphonse and Hazel ruin his life again, but in the end, he hadn't succeeded. Like it or not, those two bastards were still their parents. There was always a void in Alec's life that people would always make a point of reminding him of, like that day. And there was nothing Aaron could do to stop it, because it was beyond his control.So yes, in the end, he had failed his brother.“It's okay now, Alec. It’s over.” Rose murmured, patting his back until, finally, the sobs subsided a bit and, with an exchange of glances, she and Aaron seemed to sil
