Chapter 35

Feeling the warmth of Rosalie’s hands, Tyler came to his senses and stopped immediately.
He stood up from the almost unconscious body of Jackson and stepoed away from him. Rose ran and crouched near Jackson’s limp body.
“What have you done??” Rose asked angrily.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“He deserved it.” Rosalie muttered calmly enough for Rose to hear.
Rose stood up with her chest heaving heavily. She looked really angry.
“Is this you way of paying us back for what happened five years ago? You still haven’t let go of that incident? We apologized didn’t we?” She asked angrily.
“Let’s go Tyler.” Rosalie didn’t want Tyler to hear about what happened that night. He had known enough of their family problems in just one day.
“You can’t go yet. Don’t tell me you’re hiding it from your dear husband.” Rose taunted.
“Let’s go Rosalie.” Tyler noticed that matter seemed to make Rosalie agitated. He held her and they left.
Rose wanted to go after them but when she heard Jackson groaning in pain on the floor, she walked to him and lifted him up slowly.
“Urghh.” The pain Jackson felt was really unbearable.
Rose managed to lift him up and took him to their new room. She placed him on the bed and brought out a wet rag from the bathroom. She used it to clean his bloody face.
After that, she applied ointment on his swollen face. Jackson couldn’t stop groaning through out the process. Her face showed anger all through. She was so mad that they hurt Jackson.
“You know what? This won’t do. I’ll have to go report to Grandma Patricia and show her what her precious graddaughter and husband did to you.” Rose said.
“No. Don’t do that.” Jackson stopped her.
“Why not? If I didn’t stop them in time, it would have been much worse.” She said.
“I know that.” Jackson said.
“So why are you still stopping me? They can’t get away with this.” She said angrily.
“Just don’t let any of the family members know. Not even your mother.” He pleaded.
“Why not?” Rose asked in frustration.
“Because it’s embarrassing okay. Don’t you feel ashamed when you saw a guy probably my age or younger beat me to a pulp?” He asked her.
His question made her go silent. It was true. Tyler’s assault Tyler’sally hurt his ego and it pained him that he couldn’t even throw a punch against the bastard.
That thought made him despise Tyler more than he already did. He’ll surely make Tyler pay for humiliating him this way especially in front of Rosalie.
“It still annoys me that you’ll have to bear with the pain while they get away with it.” Rose said angrily.
“Well, there’s nothing we can do fo…. arghh.” He winced when Rise mistakenly pressed his face.
“Sorry. I’m so sorry.” She pleaded.
“It’s okay.” Jackson said.
“What happened between you guys that made him hit you like this?” Rose asked.
“I called Rosalie a whore.” He breathed out.
“Wait what? He attacked you just because if that?” She asked angrily. said
“Yes.” Jackson answered tiredly.
“It’s not like beating you up would change the fact that she’s one. I don’t think she’s told her husband about how she got her child.” Rose said.
“Why do you say so?” Jackson lifted his head from the pillow and rested hisback on the headboard. He turned to stare at Rose in anticipation.
“When I mentioned the topic, she looked scared, really scared. Like she didn’t want me to say anything. But there’s another thing that shocked me. Tyler didn’t look surprised when I mentioned it. It was like he knew everything that happened.” Rose explained.
“That must be a front he’s putting on because you were there. I’m sure he’ll be bombarding Rosalie with questions by now.” Jackson said.
“I hope so. To be honest, I’m not really comfortable with having Rosalie back here.” Rose said, her countenance changing.
“Why not?” Jackson asked.
“You know, the both of you had a past together. Though I’m sorry for ruining it but it just feels uncomfortable. What if her presence ignites something in you and you leave me for her?” Rose asked. Fear and sadness was written all over her face.
That was the first thing she felt when she found out that Rosalie was coming back. What if she comes back to take all I’ve stolen from her? What if Jackson leaves me for her? Those thoughts had been haunting her.
“Don’t you say that. It was no one’s fault. I cheated, same with Rosalie. We were all caught in a web. If possible, it was my fault. So I want you to get those thought from your head. I and Rosalie are already over. She made that clear today. She’s already married, same with me. There’s nothing that will make me stop loving you.” He assured and stared at her lovingly.
All the worries that Rose had melted when she met with his gaze. She smiled and pressed her lips on his while he kissed her back.
The only thought in her head was that she hoped he meant all he just said.

Tyler laid an already sleeping Alex on the bed. They had taken their dinner and retired back into the room.
It didn’t take Alex that long to fall asleep because of the jet lag. Tyler turned to see Rosalie emerging from the bathroom.
She looked really gorgeous in her silky nightwear and her long wet hair stopping inches below her large ass.
He would have loved to continue admiring her but he decided to look away befire she caught him staring at her.
“Why did you follow me here?” She asked when she couldn’t hold down the question again.
Tyler had expected it. He turned to look at her and smiled.
“Didn’t I tell you that I’ll never let you go?” Rosalie blushed profusely at his words but covered her face quickly with the towel she was holding and acted like she was wiping her face.
She didn’t want Tyler to notice her flushed face.
“But come to think of it. My presence here helped you really much.” He continued.
“How?” Rosalie asked with only her eyes and forehead sticking out of the towel.
“It saved you from a lot of questions. You seemed really uncomfortable when I saw you talking to yoyr grandma.” Rosalie couldn’t deny that was true.
“Thank you.” She removed the towel from her face and muttered.
Tyler’s face brightened up at her words. That was the first time she was saying something nice and not cussing at him.
“You are always welcome.” He answered smiling.
Rosalie nodded and walked towards the bed.
“Too bad I’ll still have to tell Grandma Patricia the truth later. It’s better she hears it from me than someone else.” She plopped down on the bed tiredly.
“You know what? There’s something that would make our words seem like the truth.” He said.
“What is it?” She asked.
“The only thing I’ve been asking from you since day one. The decision depends wholly on you. You either tell Grandma Patricia the truth and have her heart shattered or you’ll sign this papers and everyone wins.” He placed a file on her lap.
She opened it and saw a marriage certificate. Both their names were written there and Tyler had signed already. The only thing that remained was her signature.
Rosalie stared at it thoughtfully.
Should she sign it or not???
