Michael took Rosaline outside and he was about to take her into his car when there was a familiar voice.
"Rosaline" the voice snapped at them.
Rosaline's grip tightened on Michael's hand. She let's go and approaches him.
"What are you doing here?" She asked.
"Rosaline what are you doing with this man?" Louis asked his eyes dark.
"How's that your business Louis why are you still following me?" She snapped back. "Stay away from me" she adds.
"I won't, why did you leave I've been looking for you it's-
"Louis I don't want you in my life; get out I hate you,you destroyed my life and you've got some nerve to come find me, you looked me in the eyes and lied and you think I'll be happy; just look at us, look at our lives; how will I be able to look you in the eyes like before; it's... it's over Louis, it's over between us , maybe we-
"Never !! We are never getting a divorce, I will never divorce you, I'd rather die" he said grinding his teeth, eyes red.
"You are going to leave me the hell alone Louis, go away now, before I do something we'll both regret" she said walking away.
Michael rubs her shoulders and whispers something to her. Then he approaches Louis and then looks up at him.
"You heard the lady; you should stay away, you've lost Louis Grey, if you love her you'll let her go" said Michael.
Louis looks down at him his face dark
"Get the hell out of my face before I blow your brains out" said Louis.
Michael smiles "How does it feel to loose Louis Grey, you're on loose ends; by the way this is just the beginning, you're never getting her back cause I'm going to take her away from you" said Michael with a wide grin as he whispered those words to Louis, who's eyes turned bloodshot and the killing intent sprouted out.
He grinds his teeth and his hand fastened unto Michael's throat as he strangled him with one hand.
"I'm going to kill you" he said.
"What tha fuck!!! Louis what are you doing? Let him go" Rosaline yelled rushing towards him. Louis' eyes were filled with anger and killing intent his grip tightened. Michael's eyes were turning white,
"Louis let go now or else this time I'm really leaving, I'll leave country Z and I'll never come back you'll never see me again!!" She cried.
Louis let's go and then he gets into his car and drives off. Rosaline holds Michael who was gasping for air.
"Michael are you okay?" She asked
"I'm fine " he said his face red and there was a purple mark on his neck.
Louis was driving and he stops the car then looses the two upper buttons of his shirt and screams; he gets out of the car and then lights a cigarette smoking and letting off steam.
"Seeing you so down makes me want to throw a banquet" came Felix's voice from a corner. Louis starts laughing and then he looks at Felix who was leaning against a tree.
"I remember leaving you penniless how does it feel to serve, by the way why don't you stop hiding in the sewer and come fight me instead of going through little loopholes to attack me " said Louis.
"You and your little backer, I'm going to kill the two of you" he adds.
"I suggest you give up now, before it's too late" said Louis.
Felix laughs "Never Louis Grey I won't stop till I've taken everything you have" said Felix.
"You hit me once I won't let you do it again, apart from Rose you have nothing else against me which is very bad for you, and you are going to pay for making her leave me" said Louis.
"Rosaline is going to be farther away from you" said Felix.
"Everyone has a price to pay, I'll let you dance around with your petty little victory" said Louis, standing up and about to enter his car, but he stops.
"You know why you'll never win Felix Anderson, because you can't stop serving and no matter how you'll try you'll never be like me" he said.
The words were slow and piercing like a knife.
"Because I-am-unreachable, life is never giving that chance"said Louis getting into the car and driving off.
Felix's face turns into a frown as he watches the car drive off.
"Son of a bitch" he said grinding his teeth.
Rosaline was having dinner with Michael, Michael pours a glass of wine for her.
"Here, aren't you drinking?" He asked.
"No I'm pregnant, I'll just take a glass of Orange juice" she said eating her food. Michael stops eating and looks at her, and stops himself from choking.
"You're pregnant with his child?" He asked.
"Could my life get any better?" She said sipping a glass of water. Michael felt like he had been stabbed in the chest with a knife.
"S..so...are you going to ke... keep it?" He asked forcing the words out of his mouth.
"It's four months and three weeks old, it's my baby too" she replied.
"Are you raising it without a father?" He asked.
"I'm keeping it" said Rosaline placing her hand on her belly.
"Whatever decision you make I'm here for you" said Michael placing his hand on hers.
"Thanks Michael I want to go home now" said Rosaline standing up.
"Okay" said Michael calling a waiter passing by and giving him a cheque.
Rosaline stops in front of the hotel and then she gives Michael a faint smile.
"Thanks for tonight Michael"she said about to go him but his words interrupted her.
"Staying in a hotel isn't safe, I have an old apartment you can move in" he said.
"No I don't want to trouble you and upset Louis more and get him on your back I plan on buying a house soon" she said.
"You're still thinking about him" said Michael.
"He's my husband and I...I..still love him, he gave me a life after all, goodnight Michael " she said going inside.
Michael frowns "What's so good about that Grim reaper " said Michael grinding his teeth. He inhales and exhales then drives off.
**************
Rosaline sits on the bed and thinks of her all the things that happened to her recently, tears dripping on her trousers she opens the gallery and looks at the photos of she and Louis at the amusement park and other places;
she places her hand on her belly and rubs it.
"I have a little you inside me now, we created a little miracle" she said stroking her belly.
"Look at what your father has done to me; I feel like taking out my heart and throwing it away, I fell in love with my family's killer"
"Why is this all happening to me, I thought I had a wonderful life, but it turned out to be a mess. He tore me apart, put me in a tough spot, where I have to choose my family or the man I love, I wish I was never born" she cried.
"This is what I get for dinning with the devil and falling in love with him" she sniffles.
"He destroyed my past, he haunts my present....(Sighs and looks down at her belly) And God help me.....he might own my future" she said and then lies down.
***********
Rosaline spent time looking for Felix but he seemed to have vanished again.
Michael was always by her side, taking her for lunch and dinners trying to make her happy, while Louis watched from a corner. He missed her so much and watched from afar; he wanted to hold her in his arms and smell her...kiss her but all that was impossible, he needed to find a way to get rid of Felix and his unknown backer without her hating him more.
She seemed to look healthy and had added a bit of weight, her belly seemed to be a bit rounder it was a little bump and it's been Six months now and Louis counted the days with her, he spent some time guessing which gender the baby was.
****************
"Rose you're pregnant this place is way too dusty"said Michael coughing.
"I can handle it Michael; I'm okay stop treating me like an egg, I can still do some things, just go back to work" she said holding a broom.
"I'm not going anywhere; I would feel uncomfortable making a six months and two weeks old pregnant woman work like this" he said.
Rosaline chuckles, she finally bought a standard house, "By the way, I told you to just hire someone to do the cleaning and painting why did you have to go through all this stress" said Michael.
"Nah I'll do it myself, it's just like a little exercise" said Rosaline stretching.
"It makes beautiful memories" she adds. Michael chuckles "At least put this on" he said giving her a face mask.
"Thank you" she said putting it on.
Rosaline and Michael clean up the whole house and Rosaline mixes up some paint and then she starts painting. Michael watched the little woman with a bulging stomach work like a busy bee, he was mesmerized.
