Lorcan's pov.On the way to the office, a smile formed on my lips as I recalled Rose's enthusiasm when she was showing me off to Meera. The pride on her face that was evident, brought me immense joy.It made my heart race.Nick must be an idiot, for losing her. But thanks to him, she falls right into my palm. I couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority.That bastard failed to recognise the true essence of Rose's captivating allure. He didn't realise how delicious she really tasted in every way. From her soft skin to the melodic sound of her moans, her shy yet enticing demeanour, and her craziness when she didn't think twice before doing something made me yearn for her more passionately."Lorcan?"Everything about her made me win her more. I shifted and let out a sharp breath when I felt myself turning on madly."Lorcan?!" Lost in my thoughts, I was abruptly interrupted by Meera. I turned my face to her, her eyes were glimmering with a certain fondness. "Are you fine? I..mean you l
Meera's pov.I paced back and forth in my luxurious bedroom, it wasn't as grand as it used to though, my mind filled with frustration and anger. I huffed out furiously.This is fucking frustrating!How could Lorcan, that wretched man, turn me down after everything I had done for him? I even begged him, and gave him a blowjob even though I was dying inside of disgust.I humbled myself, and lowered my standard just to become his mistress, hoping that he would throw himself on my feet for a little attention from me just like in the past. One smile from me and he would be ready to lick my feet.But that piece of garbage picked up by Valentino's family turned out to be nothing but a loyal dog to a bitch who doesn't even love him. They both are crushing my hopes and my desires. They both are pathetic and deserve to be burned alive. I want to kill them both!"Foolish Lorcan!" I muttered under my breath, my voice dripping with disdain. "I was the one who accepted him no matter how I hated him
Meera's pov.I sold the photo of me kissing Lorcan to a gossip magazine. My next plan is to wreak havoc on Rosalyn's life since Lorcan's rejection disappointed me. If not through him, then I'll strike through that bitch!It's the perfect opportunity to exploit her emotional feelings. I know that bitch has fallen in love with Lorcan. Aware of her deep affection for Lorcan, I knew that revealing my intimate moment would shatter her fragile hopes of ever being with him. Being in love with Lorcan would intensify her reaction to the news, and possibly have a negative impact on her pregnancy.I sneered internally. This is a perfect plan. I know the power of the media in shaping public opinion and manipulating emotions. I have gone through it. And knowing Lorcan's influence in both the financial and entertainment sector, it would severely impact his reputation.Only if he had accepted me, then I wouldn't have gone to this length. His vacillation made me have to treat Rosalyn as a threat. The
Rosalyn's pov.Sitting in the living room and staring into nothing, my phone rang with an incoming call. It was from Lorcan. I hesitated for a moment before wiping my tears and picking it."Hello?" I took a deep breath, steadying myself before speaking. I don't want him to find out that I was crying."Get ready by seven. We are having dinner out tonight," He said casually.I clenched my jaw, feeling a surge of anger rising within me. I couldn't believe he had the audacity to order me his plans after all this crap. When I thought about the photo, I felt very angry. The sight had ignited a fire of jealousy and resentment in me towards them. How could he still have the face to sound so casual after going around creating scandals like that.What if he really did that to test me? Or to see how I would react to this news to find out whether I had fallen for him or not?But for the sake of my child, I need to show the attitude that I haven't fallen for him. And I'll not fall for his charms a
Rosalyn's pov.As the night stretched on, Lorcan's absence weighed heavily on my heart. I sat alone in the living room for who knows how long. I'm still feeling conflicted after that phone conversation.But as expected, he didn't come home and I feel even sadder though I promised myself to move on. My eyes fixed on the name displayed on my phone, and our conversation time never exceeded a minute. It lacked both depth and intimacy that I longed for.I curled on the couch. How come he only ever remembers me to give me command of what I needed to do? It constantly made me remember how inherently unequal our relationship is. The realisation hits me hard.It made me wonder if I ever crossed his mind while he works in his office like how he's on my mind 24/7. It's pitiful how I don't mind even if he thinks of me even for a bare second.I laughed. What have I made of myself? Why can't I have a stable love life like how I used to dream about? A heavy sigh escaped my lips as I whispered to mys
Lorcan's pov."Good evening, Sir and Madam! Welcome to le Jardin des Saveurs. Your reserved table is this way," The manager greeted."Good evening," We followed him to a beautifully decorated table in the garden of the restaurant."It's so elegant, Lorcan," Meera smiled excitedly.It's good to see her happy but for some reason, I felt like I'm missing something. I wish Rose was here. To be honest, when I took her on a date last time I found myself captivated by how enchanted she gazed at the place. And that's the reason, I wanted to take her again.Meera, on the other hand, I know she's only saying this for the sake of me. I know she's been to more restaurants like this than me.For some reason, I crave Rose's reaction, her glimmering eyes and a small smile playing on her pink lips. That's what I wanted to see. Has she eaten dinner by now or was she being stubborn again? I needed to hurry up here so I could go to her and see for myself.As we settled the manager asked. "Can I offer yo
Rosalyn's pov.The morning sunlight penetrated through the curtains, casting a soft glow in the room which made me open my eyes. Stretching my limbs, I yawned the sleep away.Looking around the room, I found no one, proving that Lorcam hadn't returned all night.A knot of worry formed in my stomach. Did he go looking for Meera after I turned him down? He might have, they really match, don't they?The thought of them spending the night together made me feel intense jealousy that I tried to suppress.Deciding to call him, I reached for my phone and dialled his number. However, just as I was about to hit the call button, the doors burst open making me flinch. Lorcan appeared in the doorway, wearing his wrinkled clothes. I stood up from the bed.Why the hell does he look like that? I couldn't help but I've outrageous thoughts.His disheveled appearance gave away the fact that he had indeed been busy throughout the night having sex.My eyes burned and my chest tightened at the sight of him
Rosalyn's pov.It turned out that I was right, he did all this to give me a reality check. He doesn't want me to fall for him. Thank god, I lied to him or I believe he won't mind divorcing me.I don't want to stay on this issue for too long. I don't want to lose my child…and to be with my baby I need the title of Mrs. Lorcan."I will never love you unless I have gone crazy. I just want to be with my child!" I made my point by looking deep into his eyes. "I won't love you and in return, you can't take away my baby, alright?"He groaned, looking very angry. Although it was the rule he had made, he still gets angry at my firm attitude of not loving him. It's as if he wanted me to go against my words and fall for him. But why does he want that?I hate how he always gives me mixed feelings. Shouldn't he feel happy that I'm doing exactly what he wanted?"So, now you're using our child as a bargaining chip?" He snarled. "You don't show but I know how much you care about the title."I laughed
