Chapter 40

Rosie' POV

When I had finished the song, the tears were flowing freely down my face. I hardly ever sang that song and now I know why.

I have heard father singing this song many times, which is how I came to know it. He sang it whenever he felt sad about mother leaving him. He said that it is a song that he heard her sing many years ago, way before I was born.

After a few minutes of crying somewhat silently, I heard a knock on my door. "Come in, Daniel", I said, assuming that the person on the other side of the door was in fact Daniel, but unfortunately, I was wrong. "What do you want?", I asked in bitter and disgust. 

I never turned to face the person, knowing very well that I will not be able to contain my emotions if I did. I heard the person take hasty steps toward me. Nervousness rolling off them in waves. Finally after a minute or two, they spoke. "Rosie,"

Daniel's POV

I was worried about Rosie. She had been very excited to see her mother and after many years without seeing each other, she treats her like shit. Who is she to tell my love how to live her life?

Who is she to control her like she is a worthless dog? We are married. It is not like the baby will be born out of wedlock. Neither was Felicity. I wouldn't have had sex with her unless we were married. My mother would kill me if I did.

Everyone else was happy for her, even the guests were happy for her, but her own mother? Probably doesn't even know the definition of happiness.

Being the thoughtful and concerned husband I am, I went to check on Rosie. As I neared our room, I could hear the muffled sound of talking, and by the voice, I could tell that one was Rosie.

Only she didn't sound happy. "Rosie, dear. Please reconsider. I only want what's best for you", said the voice. I really shouldn't be eavesdropping, but the tone in Rosie's voice put me on alert.

"Mother, will you please just leave me alone! I want this baby. I want every baby if Daniel is the father." What is this woman up to? "Rosie stop being a fool. He doesn't love you. He is only pretending.

"He just wants one thing. All men want is sex. Look at your father and I. We had sex and then I never saw him again until now", the voice, who I recognized as Christine said.

How dare she accuse me of not loving Rosie. Of course I love Rosie! She is my life. The air I breath. Without her, I am nothing. I could practically feel the anger flowing off of Rosie.

I could just imagine her pale face as red as a tomato. "How dare you say that! Of course he loves me! Why else would he have married me ", Rosie asked in a "duh" tone.

The room grew quiet for a moment and I began to think that Christine had given up. That was until she said, "Rosie, Daniel is cheating on you."

Christine's POV

*1 hour earlier*

I can't believe that girl could be so irresponsible. How could she run off and get married? She has to be lying. Yes, of course.

They aren't even married. She just put on this rouse for spite. But either way, I will break them up. There is no way that he really loves her. "Eric", I asked as I knocked on his door.

"Eric can you please come out? We need to talk about our daughter." In that instant, Eric opened the door wide enough for me to enter.

"What do you want to talk about?", he asked. I gave him a look and said, "How do you feel about Rosie and Daniel?" As soon as I said "Daniel", his body tensed and I knew that I had received my answer.

"What do you say we come up with a way to separate them?", I asked mischievously. Eric's face twisted into an evil grin and he said, "What did you have in mind?" "What if i told her that Daniel cheated on her? And while I am doing that, you can set up evidence to make it look like he did.

"She will never forgive him and she can come home with us", I said. Eric smiled and laughed and said, "I like it." "Let's get to work then."
