Authors pov

"Some of her ribs got broken, we have treated her... She will be up by morning Mr. Knight..."

Doctor informed damian and he nodded.

Damian was about to enter her ward but Jackson grabbed his hand...

"Don't go near her..."

He spat angrily.

Damian clenched his jaw and glared at him. He twisted Jackson's hand and slammed him against the

wall.

"Don't you fucking dare tell me what to do, don't forget why you are here Jackson..."

Damian growled angrily.

He let go Jackson's neck and stepped back glaring at him. Jackson looked at him hatefully and left the

hospital.

Damian walked inside towards rose who was lying unconscious on the hospital bed.

He sat there looking at her, too lost in his thoughts.

Damian sat there the whole night, his eyes never left her, he was so scared that he will blink and she

will disappear.

The sun started rising soon and that's when he looked out of the window and saw everything was

peaceful, shining in the morning sun light. Everything was calm and beautiful but in contrast his life was

full of chaos.

"Jackson is right Rose, I don't deserve you..."

He said looking at her sleeping form, he took her hand in his, to feel her touch one last time.

He stood up and kissed her forehead, a tear escaped from his eyes and he quickly wiped it. He turned

around and left the hospital.

Jackson came back to the hospital when the doctor informed them that rose got her consciousness

back.

He entered her ward and saw her sitting and leaning against the bedpost lost in her thoughts.

He sat near her and caressed her hair.

"You have no idea how much I want to kill you right now..."

He said and she chuckled.

"You still don't stand a chance against me, wanna try..."

She replied smirking.

He smiled and hugged her tightly.

"I almost lost you stupid..."

He said in broken voice.

She hugged him and rubbed his back.

"I am fine..."

"I hate you, Arie..."

He sobbed making her chuckle.

"I hate you too Jackie..."

"What happened last night?..."

He asked breaking there hug.

"Nothing... You don't have to worry about it, I am fine now..."

Rose assured him. She didn't wanted to tell him and make him more worried. She knew that Jackson

won't stop until he find out the truth and she didn't wanted him to get in any trouble because of her.

She looked at the door and Jackson shook his head.

"He is not coming..."

He said and she looked at him confused...

"Damian... He is not coming, he has some important meetings to deal with..."

Jackson said and she nodded, her face fell. She thought when she will wake up he will be near her but

to her disappointment no one was there.

"Is he ok?..."

She asked and Jackson shook his head.

"Shut the fuck up rose... I didn't knew that you are this stupid..."

Jackson said scrunching his eyebrows at her.

"Jackson please listen to me..."

She tried to speak but he stopped her.

"No... you listen to me, he doesn't deserve you. He is suppose to take care of you then where is he, he

doesn't care rose. He doesn't care about you, he is attending his fucking meetings instead of staying

with you... He didn't even came to look for you last night because he was busy taking care of

isabella..."

Jackson said madly and rose looked away.

Rose remembered how he saved isabella yesterday, he didn't even turned back to make sure if rose is

following them or not.

"He cares about her, he cares about isabella not Arabella... Do you understand..."

"I know... I know okay..."

She spat back.

"I know he cares about her but it won't change my feelings for him Jackson. You don't have to remind

me this again and again..."

"I have to because you are getting blind in his love..."

He yelled.

"Then what do you want me to do..."

She looked at him with tear filled eyes making him sigh.

"Leave him..."

He said firmly.

She scoffed.

"And what?..."

"I am not telling you to leave him and choose me rose... Go away from this fucked up place. You

always wanted to leave this place right then do it. Leave and go somewhere else where you can stay

peacefully and find someone who will love you and only you..."

She looked at him in disbelief.

"You know I can't... I love him Jackson... No one can take his place, it's either him or no one else and

you know that very well..."

"No one else? does he think the same rose?..."

He questioned and she looked away. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

He grabbed her arm and jerked her towards him.

"Tell me... Does he think the same, tell me that he thinks you are the only one for him because I don't

think he does... You saved him with your life, you always protected him even when he had no idea

about your existence. You did everything to keep him safe selflessly... He acts so possessive and

claims you as his but tell me where is he now... Huh... I can't see him anywhere when you actually

need him..."

He spat madly, she tried to pull her hand away from his grip but he tightened it and again jerked her.

"You wanna know where he is... He is taking care of your so called sister and being a ungrateful

bastard to you... Wake up rose and see the reality, stop fooling yourself..."

"Stop it Jackson..."

She yelled pulling her hand away from him and looked away.

Jackson sighed and stood up.

"You almost died and he didn't even think it was necessary to check on you..."

"Leave me alone..."

Rose gritted her jaw and said angrily.

Jackson turned around and smirked but his smirk turned into a frown when he saw the person standing

in front him.

It was Stella. She looked at rose and sighed in relief when she saw she is alright.

Rose didn't noticed her as she was looking outside.

Stella hesitatingly walked towards her.

"Arie..."

She called her name and Rose's eyes snapped towards her.

"How are you my child?..."

She asked with a tear escaping from her eye.

"Why? ..You are disappointed that I am still alive?..."

Rose scoffed at her.

Stella shook her head.

"No, why would I... Please just listen to me once..."

Rose glared at her and nodded with clenched jaw.

"I am listening... I want to know what it is, please tell me. You want to justify why you abandoned me

then do it please... I am listening ..."

Stella wiped her tears.

"I had to do it Arie, otherwise they would have killed all of us... I came back for you but I couldn't found

you. Trust me. I couldn't take any help from the mafia because I told your father that you are dead, if he

found out what I did then he would have killed me, I am still afraid of that. I tried my best to find you but

I failed. Please I am sorry, I know what I did was terrible but I had to..."

Rose looked at her in disgust.

"Is that it?..."

She asked and Stella looked at her confused.

"If you are done then get out..."

"Please, Arie... I am sorry..."

She sobbed.

"Sorry?... You think I will come in front of you after years and you will apologize to me by saying you did

a mistake and I will easily forgive you?... If you think like that then you are wrong Mrs. Blackwood. I will

never forgive you for what you did to me..."

Rose's hateful words stabbed Stella's heart. She knew she did a grave mistake and was genuinely

feeling guilty for that and forever will be.

"I was waiting for you there under the streetlight, alone in the chilly night. Have you thought before

leaving me there that I don't have warm clothes on, that I have no money with me to survive. I didn't go

anywhere thinking you will come back and if you won't found me there then you will get worried. I sat

there the whole night looking at the road from where you disappeared. I was hungry, I was scared and

there was no one to take care of me. You have any idea how I felt. I had faith in you, I trusted you that

you will come back for me. That my mother will come for me , she won't abandoned me but I was

wrong. I was wondering on the streets for 3 days, waiting for you to come. If you don't believe me then

ask him because he was there with me, he has witnessed everything..."

Rose pointed towards Jackson who was listening everything leaning against the wall and glaring at

stella. Rose said looking directly in her eyes and Stella was full of guilt.

"You have any idea how does it feel, when you have a family, A mother, A father who is a powerful

mafia boss and loves you with his life. A sister who might be waiting for you to come back and play with

her. A brother who never knew that he had one more sister who loves him, you have a family but still

people call you an orphan. Do you know how does it feel."

Rose asked her firmly and Stella looked down crying her heart out.

"You don't know Mrs. Blackwood because you were happily living like a queen in your palace while I

was spending my each and every day in pain, training hard to make myself perfect and survive in this

world. Normally a 5 year old child don't have much memories to remember but when your childhood is

so fucked up then it becomes hard to forget it."

"You think I was happy Arabella?... All this years I never slept peacefully thinking where is my daughter,

did she eat, is she still alive... This guilt never let me live peacefully. I never dared to look at your

father's eyes because I was scared of the love he has for you. His eyes were asking me thousands of

silent questions and I couldn't answer one. I have seen him mourning for you day and night Arabella

and trust me it was killing me slowly day by day."

Stella spoke but it didn't made any difference to rose.

"Was it my fault, it was your fault Mrs. Blackwood so don't tell me how you felt and try to guilt trip me..."

Rose said coldly.

"I am your mother Arabella stop calling me like a stranger... I know you are angry on me and you

should be but give me one chance please just one. Forgive me please, I can't live with this guilt

anymore it's eating me from inside..."

Stella pleaded.

"You want me to forgive you?... Ok I will..."

Rose said and Stella looked at her in hope.

"Give me my childhood back, a happy one which wasn't filled with this much pain. I want my innocence

back, the girl who is sitting in front of you is rose not Arabella and rose is a monster who kills people.

She is not an innocent person anymore I want my innocence back. I wanted a normal life like normal

girls but because of you I became like this can you give me my normal life back. Because of you I lost

him, whatever is happening now is your fault can you give me my dami back... You want my

forgiveness right then do it and I will forgive you..."

Rose said and Stella closed her eyes defeated, she knew it's impossible.

"It's better you stay away from me Mrs. Blackwood because you can't give me anything from all these

things and you know that very well. Don't show me your face because you're not helping me but

rubbing salt on my wounds again and again.

And let me clear your misunderstanding here, I am not angry on you, I hate you with the bottom of my

heart..."

Her every word was full of venom.

"Jackson take her away from here, I don't want to see her..."

Rose said turning her back to Stella lying down on her bed.

"Arabella please..."

Stella sobbed.

A nurse heard the noises and came there.

"Why are you people creating so much noise, let the patient rest. Please leave, the visiting hours are

over..."

She scolded them and left.

"Mrs. Blackwood I think you should leave now, she needs to rest..."

Jackson said as much respectively as he can because he hates Stella too. Whatever she did to her

own daughter was very hateful.

Stella came out and glared at Jackson.

"Does damian know how you are brainwashing my daughter. You knew he was here the whole night

and still you lied to her. I heard everything Jackson. I will tell damian what you were doing..."

Jackson looked at her and chuckled.

"So, what about it. I suggest you to care about yourself first Mrs. Blackwood because you are the one

who is trapped in her own lies. Should I tell damian that you abandoned her and lied that you lost her.

Do you know what he will do to you then or best I should tell this to your husband he will definitely kill

you..."

Jackson mocked.

"Don't come in my way, trust me i will make you regret it..."

"Why are you doing all this?... She trusts you Jackson and you are doing this to her..."

Stella asked in disbelief.

"Because she is mine..."

Jackson whispered darkly, smirking at her and her eyes widened in shock.
