LOST WITHOUT YOU CHAPTER 17
Rosemarie’s pov: I returned home with a whirlwind of thoughts swirling in my mind. Was I experiencing a dream or a hallucination? How could I have seen James when he was supposed to be at the station? As I stepped into my house, I made sure to lock all the doors and windows, unwilling to take any chances of a potential intruder, especially after encountering James unexpectedly. My heart raced with fear and uncertainty as I dialed Michael’s number, seeking assurance and protection for my twins. Despite his concern, I couldn’t bring myself to divulge the truth about my encounter with James. Instead, I brushed it off as a vague feeling, unwilling to risk alarming Michael with the possibility of my hallucinations or worse, the potential threat posed by James. Every creak of the floorboards and rustle of the wind outside only amplified my anxiety. I couldn’t shake off the image of James from my mind, wondering if he was truly there or if my mind was playing tricks on me. The unc

Michael PovIn the aftermath of the twins’ jubilant birthday celebration, a sense of disquiet settled over me regarding Marie’s demeanor. Despite her tireless efforts in orchestrating a spectacular party that left everyone in high spirits, there lingered an elusive feeling that something was amiss with her. Beneath her radiant smile and effervescent charm, there lurked a shadow of concern that she seemed determined to conceal from me.It was during one quiet evening, as the twins lay nestled in their beds, that Marie’s voice trembled with an undercurrent of fear as she inquired about their safety. With a reassuring tone, I assured her that they were safely tucked in for the night, under my vigilant watch. Yet, her inquiry was not without a hint of trepidation, a subtle plea for reassurance that left me pondering the source of her distress.Despite my persistent attempts to coax her into confiding in me, Marie remained steadfast in her reluctance to divulge the root cause of her anx

CHAPTER NINETEENRosemarie’s pov: I had resumed back to work because I couldn’t let time fly while I wasted it missing my sister due to her death. Going back to work did help take my mind off it. I was always at work; the twins stayed at their grandma’s place after school until I picked them up. Most times, they preferred to stay with Michael, but I had to tell them he traveled. He did travel, back home to claim his empire, and I was proud of him for that. The twins missed him, but they had to be patient for him to return. I also knew deep down that I missed him too. Sam would come most weekends to keep us company. Since he found out Michael was the father of my children, our friendship kind of grew apart. He never professed his feelings to me again. I think he knew I was still head over heels for Michael and might not stop loving him anytime soon. I liked the fact that he didn’t let that affect our friendship. As the days passed, my routine became a comforting rhythm, shi

Michael’s POV: As Michael stepped into the grand foyer of his ancestral home, memories flooded back to him. The familiar scent of polished wood and old books mingled with the faint aroma of his mother's favourite flowers.But his reverie was shattered when he saw his father lying weakly in bed, surrounded by worried servants. "Father," Michael rushed to his side, heart heavy with concern. "What has happened?" His father's voice was weak, but his eyes held a glimmer of determination. "Michael, my son, I'm afraid my time is near. The burden of our family legacy falls upon your shoulders now. “Michael’s heart sank.He had always known that one day he would inherit the family empire, but he hadn't expected it to be under such dire circumstances. And the mention of his uncle's scheming only added to his worries. "But fear not, Michael," his father continued, gripping his hand tightly. "There is a way for you to claim your rightful place as the heir. You must bring home a wife and

CHAPTER TWENTY ONERosemarie’s Pov: Time seems to fly and I’ve been working all day, all week. My girls barely saw me and I hated it. My mum kept on complaining but I kept giving excuses to her even though I knew I couldn’t stop or else I’ll miss Anne and I’ll go back to depression. Weekend came and I decided to take my girls out for a picnic. I had realized I was a bad mom and I needed to create more time for them. I had packed up their favorite meal and we headed straight to the beach. I could see the joy in their faces as we drove off, I hadn’t had this amount of fun with them for a long time, I admitted. On getting to the beach they both told me that they wished Michael was there and I knew deep down I wanted him there but he had gone home to settle family matters and we awaited his return. We played a lot of games, we played hide and seek, built Sandcastles and played with other kids on the beach. At a point, I got tired and just watched them from afar as I rested on a b

Michael’s Pov: It was all a lie , it was all a big fucking lie. If they had told me outside I wouldn’t have believed it but Marie was standing right in front of me and was telling me all the moments we shared when we were young were all a lie. She began to beg and say that our love wasn’t fake but mutual but my head couldn’t shake off the thought that woman I loved, the woman I was ready to spend my entire life with was actually a scam and had signed a contract behind my back with my mom when we were younger so she could heal me from depression. After blurting out everything ,I left her front immediately and headed for the car. I needed to breathe and think and I couldn’t do that with her in front of me. I saw an evil smirk at my mother’s face as I passed by and I shook my head with disappointment. She proceeded to say that she was right after all that she had always told me that Rosemarie was no good to me but only a walking shade of bad luck. As I got to my car, I zoomed of

Rosemarie’s Pov: I felt a knot down my stomach when he said that statement. I couldn’t find myself to say anything so I just left quietly while closing the door behind me. As I got close to my allocated room, a tear threatened to fall off my face but I promised myself I won’t cry anymore and I’ll be fine either way with Michael’s decision. I couldn’t sleep a wink that night as I anticipated all through for the next morning. Morning came and I was being served eggs on toast for breakfast and was told to come down shortly after because the prince , Michael, had a short announcement to make. A dress was left for me by the bed and the maid left. I began to contemplate if I should go downstairs like they said or I should just lock myself all day and pretend nobody exists. The latter isn’t an option because I can’t just stay here while my girls miss me at home. I ate breakfast as fast as I could and headed downstairs slowly with anticipation to know my fate. As I climbed down the

Each passing day seemed to bring a new challenge, and the weight of responsibility pressed down on my shoulders with increasing force.The following week, he passed away, leaving me to bear the burden of leadership alone. In the wake of his death, my duties multiplied exponentially.Meetings, decrees, and endless administrative tasks consumed every waking moment. There was scarcely a moment to grieve, let alone to tend to my own needs or those of Rosemarie and the twins or Cara and my unborn child. I had intended to sit down with Rosemarie, to reassure her, to explain the complexities of the situation we found ourselves in.But time slipped through my fingers like grains of sand, and before I knew it, days had turned into weeks, and still, I had not found the opportunity to share my thoughts with her.The decision to publicly announce that Cara would remain my wife and that Rosemarie’s twins would be he
