Chapter 55
**************************************
Tyler was gobsmacked when she finished her story. He couldn’t help but feel really sorry for her. She went through all those hardships from the people she called family but she still came out stronger.
Her story made him admire and love her the more. Most ladies would have given up the child the moment theyfound out about the baby but she didn’t. She worked really hard to make his life stable.
He couldn’t deny the jealousy he felt whem she said that Jackson was once her fiancee. He must be really stupid to loose someone like her.
If that incident never happened to her, she would be Jackson’s wife and he would still be betrothed to Janice. Though that night had ruined her life.
He felt really sorry that she’s lost two people that were really close to her. He placed his hands on her hands and rubbed them reassuringly.
“You may have lost your mother and grandmother but now, you have me. I’ll make sure your enemies will have no means to hurt you again. I promise to always be by your side and help you in whatever you want to do. You can always count on me.” Tyler said making Rosalie’s eyes go wet.
“Why are you acting like you’re saying our marriage vows?” Rosalie asked sniffling back snot from her nose.
“Do you want me to?” He teased giving her a dazzling smile.
“Come on, be serious.”
“You know what, when we come out of this fight of ours. I’ll give you the best wedding of your life that will make other ladies envious of you.” He promised.
“They are already envious of me. We are engaged already.” Rosalie reminded.
“I know. But our wedding will be the talk of the whole city. I’ll make sure you’ll be the happiest bride alive and our marriage will be fine. I can’t promise that it will go the way you want it but I’ll try to be the best husband you want me to be.” Tyler promised.
He sounded so genuine that Rosalie’s heart couldn’t help but flutter.
“And I promise to be the best wife that you’ll ever dream of having. Though I may not be perfect.. I might always nag you…” Tyler chuckled when she said that.
“Annoy you and make you think, why did I get married to her in the first place…”
“I’ll never think about such.” Said Tyler.
“You never know. Marriage changes people.” Rosalie countered.
“Not us.”
“Let me finish. But I’ll try to be the the only person you can come to when you need an advice, a shoulder to cry on and to love.” Rosalie said with a smile.
Tyler’s eyes brightened at her words.
“Is she saying that she loves me??” He asked himself hopefully.
“I love you Tyler.” Rosalie said reaffirming his words.
Happiness was too small to describe what he was feeling.
“Are you sure of what you’re saying??” He asked in surprise.
“Yes..” She answered with a smile on her lips.
“You know you can’t take it back.” He warned.
“I wasn’t trying to. I meant every word I just said.” Rosalie said.
She decided to open up to him even though she might regret it later. She did it because of what had happened to her Grandma.
She didn’t want to wait before he leaves her and she couldn’t stop denying the feelings she’s been harbouring for him.
“You really really really mean ….. hump”
Rosalie cut him off with a deep kiss. He was surprised at first but he finally gave in. The kiss lasted for about two minutes before Rosalie finally pulled away to catch her breath.
“I love you so much Tyler.” She said taking deep breaths.
Tyler observed her face to see if she was playing him but she looked so sincere.
“I love you too.” He said and pulled her into the kiss again.
Rosalie chuckled lowly as his lips moved rhythmically against hers. Tyler felt over the moon. Finally, she’s finally his and nobody could change that anymore. Not even her.
The kiss lasted longer before he finally decided to drive home because it was getting late. They arrived at the villa in no time and they packed their luggages in.
“Welcome..” Mrs. Humphrey said as she engulfed Rosalie in a tight hug.
“I can’t breathe…” Rosalie croaked out. Mrs. Humphrey immediately released her with an awkward smile on her face.
“Sorry. I’m just really happy that you’re here.” Mrs. Humphrey said happily.
“Me too.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Mum Rosalie’s tired so I’m sorry, we’ll have to skip dinner tonight.” Tyler announced.
“Okay, it’s fine. I’ve arranged your room for you. You can head there now.” Mrs. Humphrey said with a huge smile playing on her lips.
“Thank you mom. Let’s go Rosa..” Tyler said.
“Goodnight mum.” Rosalie said with a small bow.
“Good night. Sweet dreams.” Mrs. Humphrey said as she watched them heading inside.
**********************************
Rosalie quickly put on her nightdress and headed back into the room. There, she met a shirtless Tyler laying on the bed with his laptop on his lap.
“What are you doing?” She asked as she walked towards the bed.
“Just trying to go through the email my secretary sent to me.” He answered with his eyes not leaving the screen of his laptop.
“Okay.” Rosalie muttered and laid on the other side of the bed.
She had almost fallen asleep when she felt strong arms wrap around her waist.
“What are you doing??” She asked.
“This is the first time we’re laying together as a married couple. Isn’t it best to make good use of it??” He asked placing his chin on her shoulders.
“Wait.. what do you mean???” She asked already alert.
“Relax.. I’m just saying we should cuddle like this. Is your mind that dirty??” He asked with his hot breath fanning her cheek.
“I wasn’t thinking about anything.” She lied feeling really embarrassed.
“Whatever you say.” He drawled. His voice getting lighter.
Soon, Rosalie could feel his steady breath. He was already sleeping. He must be really tired. She smiled as she placed her hands on his hands that was around her waist. It felt really good to be in love and be loved by someone.
She had almost forgotten how nice it was. Soon enough, she also fell into a deep slumber.
******************************
Janice held the pregancy test device in shock. How could this happen?? She was very careful. She made sure she took the after pills.
No no no. This would just ruin her plans. She can’t have Micheal’s baby. She has no choice but to go for an abortion. She had to get rid of the child but if she does, she might never give birth again.
That was what the doctor said when she did her last abortion. What should she do now?? She can’t have Tyler if she’s carrying Micheal’s child.
“Think Janice think.” She walked to and fro, deep in thought.
Her eyes widened when she got an idea. This baby might not be a problem afterall. She smiled happily. Tyler would be hers whether he likes it or not.
In your face Rosalie.
