"This tastes really good." Rose compliments after the first taste from the food. She was really impressed to see Roman knew his way around the kitchen and he knew how to use the utensils really well. Roman wasn't bluffing about him being a good cook. She took another spoonful of food and moaned in delight. "Told you I'm really good at what I do." He put the napkin over his shoulder. He still had the apron on. "What did you put in this?" Rose was curious. Roman used him hands to show his lips were sealed. "A chef never reveals his secret ingredient. It defeats it being your special recipe. Do you see SpongeBob going around telling everyone the Krabby patty secret formula?" "I'm not Plankton so you can tell me." Rose snorted after taking a sip from her orange juice. It was freshly made by Roman. His cooking skills were top notch and she was very impressed"Hmm." He hummed stroking his jaw like he was deep in thoughts. "I will have that at the back of my mind."Rose chuckled. " I'll
It all finally dawned on her why Roman hated Eva and why he was overly protective of the twins from her. What Eva had done to Roman and the twins was really cruel. She couldn't imagine how much it had hurt the man. It also dawned on her that was why he was with different women. It was probably his way of not getting attached to any woman and falling in love again.Roman keeping Christine and Christopher from their mother was a way of him protecting them from Eva breaking their heart like she did to his. Roman was basically like a mother hen but Rose felt he was taking it the wrong way. There were other ways to protect his children while he still let them have contact with their mother but she knew once bitten twice shy. Roman still had stream of tears rolling down his cheeks as he cried silently.As much as it felt like he was reliving the entire ordeal, he also felt like a burden was lifted off his shoulders. It felt good to finally let someone know how hurt he was. Mrs Meyer had to
Rose couldn't help but feel jealous from Carmen calling Roman's phone. She was angry Roman's girlfriend had to ruin their passionate make out session. The call had ruined the most passionate kiss to they had ever had. No man had ever mad her feel the way Roman made her feel with his kiss. Not even Daniel.It was like a billion butterfly got lose I'm her belly when she connected lips with the billionaire. Rose was sure this was an experience she would never forget. He tasted like the chicken soup he had made her and she wished she explored his mouth a little longer. Rose stared hard at Roman as they sat in silence while only Roman's ring tone filled the room. When it finally stopped, Roman took Rose's hand but she retracted it like it was fire. Roman's phone sound again as it rand out loud whilst also vibrating. He felt like throwing his expensive Iphone at the wall but he kept still. Carmen was best in ruining perfect moods and moment."Carmen, again?" Gulping nervously, Roman nodd
"Daddy, when will aunty Rose be back?" Christopher asked as his father tied his shoe lace. It had only be two days since Rose had gone on her break and the twins wouldn't stop asking about her. Their father had explained to them that Rose was on a break but they still kept asking about her. They really missed her."Christopher, I've told you your aunty Rose is on a break and won't be back until the week is over." Roman tried not to snap at his son as he explained for the like hundredth time. He was tried having to repeat the same thing over and over again but he understood they were still kids and they missed her so much. He also missed her too. "I miss her. I miss her, daddy." Christine who was sitting on her bed said. She had her backpack strapped on her back. She was dressed and ready for school and the only person keep the waiting was her brother. "Oh, sweetie, I miss her too but she needs to have some time to herself." Roman finished up tying Christopher shoe lace then he star
"What did you both have for breakfast?" Rose asked, with a smile."Daddy made pancakes and I hate pancakes." Christopher pouted with a frown etched on his fore head. One thing Rose would never forget about Christopher was how much he hated pancakes. It was werid for her to hear that when she just started to work with he Hendricks. Why would anyone hate pancakes she always thought. Even Margot knew Christopher hated pancakes and his sister too. "What did you make pancakes for breakfast when you clearly know Christopher hates pancakes?" Rose directed at Roman for the first time since they started the video call. She tried her best to pretend like there wasn't there people on her laptop's screen as she only focused on the twins. The twins were balanced well on their father's leg as they spoke with Rose. The moment their father walked into he house, they started to remind and pester him about the video call with Rose he had promised them in the morning. Roman couldn't have forgotten b
The day dawned crisp and clear. The sun poured through my window. Another day had dawned, bringing with it new hopes and aspirations. The light of dawn seeped into the room. Rose rubbed her bleary eyes and walked to the window. There was a pearly glow in the sky. The ray of sunlight lit up the room. The dawn chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in.Rose rolled over in her bed and used her pillow to cover up her face. It was to protect her yes r be light seeping into her room through the window. She immediately regretted not pulling the curtains over. She wasn't ready ready to get up from bed. She still wanted to be deep in sleep but she knew she had to get her butt out if the bed. She had made a promise she as going to pay a visit to the orphanage and she had to be there today. And the earlier she got there, the longer she was going to be there and the later she got there the shorter she was going to be there. She enjoyed being there so it was best she set out early.Reluctant, she too
Chapter 33Margarita was the one in charge of the orphanage. She was a sixty years old woman from Mexico.

She was really tall with short, shining black hair with an overly long fringe that always got in her eyes all the time.She had started the orphanage since she was twenty five. After getting married, she and her husband tried to have children. They wanted seven children, it was always their dream to have a house full of kids and lots of grandchildren and even great grandchildren.The first shock came when they tried for two years and there was no head way.

They even tried other options but it always never worked. Her husband was frustrated and so was she. It started o tale a toll on their marriage and so thier
Chapter 34"What?" Margarita sputtered.Rose gave a beating to herself mentally. She had just told herself she didn't want to burden Margarita with that and in less than a second she jusr ratted herself out. Now Margarita was definitely going to be bothered."Why? How? When?" Rose didn't know which of Margarita's question to answer first and this was exactly what she was avoiding. She didn't want to get the old lady all worried especially about her. Rose didn't even like anyone get bothered it worried about her. It made her feel like a burden and she didn't like to feel that way.That was the way she felt when she was taken to a foster care home when she was six. She felt like a burden to her foster parents. Although her foster parents let her visit the orphanage a lot and even spend holidays with the other kids she just always felt like a burden that was why she worked hard to fend for herself. She was working ao many jobs just to take care of herself and cover all her expenses. She
