Chapter 51 : Wait For Me Tonight

Madalynn chuckled at my comment, nodding her head. “Yes, it’s a busy day for me.”

I thought the reminder of the engagement party tonight would break me even more, but oddly, it didn’t affect me as much as I thought it would. Perhaps, I was finally getting used to the heartbreak.

“Miss Rosalie,” Romero’s Beta greeted me. “It’s a pleasure to be at your service.”

Thad mixed feelings towards him. The first time we met, he burst into my room with Madalynn. However, he was also the one who apologized on behalf of Romero and Madalynn.

“May I at least know your name?” I asked, turning towards him.

“Damian,” he replied quickly, his dark gaze sweeping over my figure.

I nodded my head as a greeting. “Please call my Rosalie.”

The crack of thunder sounded in the distance. There was no doubt that a storm was approaching. I had heard there might even be flooding in the valley of the capital city.

I used to love sitting next to an open window and watching the rain fall down from the sky, its water seeping into the earth to help spring forth new life. All of it was part of a never-ending circle that created and then took away the things we held dear.

I turned my attention from the window back to Madalynn.

“I’ll do it. The sooner, the better.”

I needed to get away, and besides, I couldn’t bear to get in between an engaged couple.

“It would be a bit rushed…” Madalynn frowned, exchanging a look with Damian.

I bit my lower lip, and my heart ached. “Please…”

Madalynn hesitated for a moment, then looked towards Damian. “What do you think?”

Damian simply nodded affirmatively.

“Are you sure?” I was shocked that they were able to make something happen so quickly.

A small smile peeked across Madalynn’s face. “Yes. If you want to go tonight, then it will happen. To be honest, it’s ‘the sooner, the better’ for me, too.”

With the timeline decided, I was lost in my own thoughts for a moment. It was almost too good to be true.

In particular, I still had my reservations about Madalynn.

.

Madalynn was irritated by my silence. “Do you want my help or not?” she bit out, staring at me. “You said you wanted to go, and tonight is the perfect opportunity for it to happen. Everyone will be at the dinner, and the approaching storm will give cover for your escape.”

She was right.

Standing to my feet, I walked toward the window, looking out at the approaching black clouds in the sky. My fingers fiddled as I tried to absorb what she was telling me.

I sighed.

“Okay,” I said. “What do I do?”

I was taking this opportunity. My courage came and went, and I needed to make this happen, before I changed my mind

Madalynn glanced at her father’s Beta. “Damian?”

Damian nodded, and then proceeded to explain the plan. “The party will start at 7:00 tonight. Most of the guards will be assigned to the event to ensure the safety of the guests. The ladies’ washroom across the main dining hall has a window looking out on the garden. I’ll wait for you outside of that window at 7:45.”

Now I understood why she sent me the dress and the accessories – the inner layer of the dress could be converted to a comfortable full-length black jumpsuit for my escape, and one of the accessories was a watch.

Damian emphasized, “Be on time. Otherwise, we’ll both be caught.”

“Where are we going afterwards?” I asked.

We’ll head to a cottage in the woods outside of Mirage. There, we can put on disguises before we head out to the port.”

How far is the cottage? What do I need to bring with me?” I wanted to gather as much information about the plan as possible so I knew what to expect.

“About two hours of running. You don’t need much.” Damian answered patiently. I noticed that Madalynn, however, was getting frustrated at the time we were spending on details.

“But once they find out, they will send men after me. Ethan isn’t a man to give up easily,” I said with a sigh. Especially since I carried his heir.

“They won’t if they believe that you are dead,” Madalynn answered coldly.

Before I could ask anything more, Madalynn turned, making her way towards the door. My eyes drifted from her to Damian, who bowed his head gently to me and then followed her out.

Damian seemed to have a solid plan put together- a real escape plan.

I looked at the clock. It was just past four. The clock was ticking down, and my time left in this place was growing to a close.

Sitting on the sofa, I stared off into the distance, thinking about what I was about to do. Never in my life had I ever attempted something so daring. Never had I ever been a risk-taker. Never had taken a chance and defied orders.

My hand fell instinctively to my stomach.

The small bump grew larger every day, and it kept reminding me to make the best choice for us. This wasn’t about me anymore. It was about the baby- and making sure I survived to protect it.

However, before I could do anything, the door opened once more.

“Rosalie!” Ethan’s voice was a bit rushed.

I turned around to face him,

“I heard Madalynn… ”

Me gaze landed on the crease in between his brows, and then moved down to his breathtaking eyes.

After today, I would never see those eyes again.

He would be gone from my life forever.

“Madalynn didn’t mean any harm,” I replied softly.

He didn’t waste time, crossing the space between us. He knelt in front of me and looked at my stomach with a worried glance. “Is everything okay?”

Of course, he was worried about the baby.

Pressing down my longing for him, I chuckled bitterly. “Yes, the baby is fine. I’m just a little emotional and stuck in my thoughts.”

“Just that?” He studied my face, obviously still suspicious.

“Why are you here, Ethan?” | asked, shaking my head as I stood on my feet.

“I just had this feeling that I should come check on you…”

Turning from the table, I again assured him, “The baby is fine.”

“Not the baby-” he began.

I was taken by surprise, trying to absorb what he was saying.

He was actually here to check on me?

Then he hesitated, reached into his jacket pocket, and pulled out a small box. “I have something fo

ou.”

Stunned, I held out my hand, and he pressed the box into my palm.

“What is it?”

His lips curled up a little. “Open it.”

I opened the box. Inside was a beautiful necklace with an elegant teardrop diamond pendant.

Igasped, not sure what to say. It was a beautiful gift- and came at the absolute worse time.

“It’s beautiful,” I said, but then added with a sigh, “but it’s too valuable for me to accept…”

Seeing his stiff expression, I quickly added, “But thank you so much for the thought. It means a lot…”

“Don’t move.” He ordered in a tone that was not negotiable.

He pulled the necklace out of the box and walked around behind me.

His arms wrapped me from the back, and he gently clasped the necklace around my neck, ignoring my protest.

“Keep it for me.” He murmured in my ear.

His voice sent shivers down my spine, and my heart started to race uncontrollably.

Ethan.” he always had a way to make me do whatever he wanted me to.

I turned around and saw a look of satisfaction on his handsome face.

“Thank you if you insist,” I replied. What else could I say?

He seemed to be happy that I didn’t try to take it off.

I sighed silently. I just couldn’t reject him, even for something as small as a gift! Why, Ethan- why did you give this to me if you wanted my life anyway?

Tears welled up in my eyes again.

He leaned toward me and wiped them away gently. Then he carefully brushed a strand of loose hair behind my ear. “I’ll be back tonight. Wait for me, okay?”

I wanted more than anything to say yes, but I knew that, if he did come back, I wouldn’t be here.

The necklace was a kind gesture, but it didn’t change anything. I needed to survive.

And that meant I needed to make sure there was enough distance between us before he discovered my escape. I couldn’t have him coming back early.

“You know that won’t be possible,” I whispered, leaning in close to him. “Tonight is the announcement of your engagement, and you must keep up appearances for the sake of the alliance.

“I do what I want, Rosalie,” he growled in a low voice. “You of all people should know this by now.’

I shook my head. Then I looked him in the eye.

“So kiss me, then. One last time.”

He didn’t waste another moment, and his lips descended down upon mine in a deep and passionate kiss. His tongue demanded entry into my mouth that I gladly gave him. I wanted to remember this kiss forever. If I was to never see him again after this moment, I wanted to take in everything about him.

Ethan may not have been my mate, but he would forever be my love.

As the kiss broke off, I looked up into his eyes.

All of sudden, I questioned if leaving was really the best choice. That hadn’t been the kind of a man who only saw me as a breeder. it couldn’t be.

‘One last chance,’ I told myself, ‘This is your last chance to change his mind, Rosalie. Then you have to make your decision and never look back.’

“I can’t wait to have the baby, Ethan,” I whispered as my hands laid flat against his chest. My eyes searched for any sign of recognition within his own.

His hand cupped my cheek and his thumb gently caressed my skin, but he remained silent.

“Perhaps. I don’t have to leave after the baby is born,” I said softly. “I know you will never want me in that way, but perhaps I can stay to help raise the child.” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Ethan’s eyes softened a little, and there was a slight hint of uneasiness in them.

Silently, in my heart, I begged him to change his mind. I wasn’t even asking for much. If he showed me a little mercy, if he gave me the least hint of possibility, I would stay.

I waited patiently for his answer. I was betting with my life.

It felt like a century, but finally, he broke eye contact. He pulled away as if avoiding my touch.

I could almost hear the sound of my heart shattering.

“I must go, Rosalie. I cannot be late for a dinner that is in my honor. But wait for me tonight.”
