Writer's pov

Damien looked at xavin staring at the floor tears streaming out his eyes, he didnt even cry at their parents death he sighed as he finally believed that xavin loves her, he kept saying that to him but he never believed it thinking it might be lust or infatuation.

"I'll kill myself if something happens to her" he said to no one in particular.

Irina who was really annoyed that damien dragged her here to get bored our of her wits rolled her eyes at her brothers dramatics and examined her manicure.

"I am gonna go home, I can't just waste my time for that dumb slut" she said making xavin glare at her.

"I wont tolerate any disrespect, she is not a knight anymore, she is my girlfreind" xavin warned her and she rolled her eyes again making damien groan.

"Go, you are not making this any easier" he said and she scoffed before leaving,

"Relax, she'll be fine" Damien placed his hand on xavins shoulder.

They really valued family, all that came first was family, and right now Damien didn't care that he was jealous and angry that xavin gets to keep Rose, he just knew that xavin was hurt and scared and needed him.

few hours passed and xavin didn't eat or even move from his seat, damien was there for him too.

he stood up as doctor came out from the operation theatre.

"she is out of danger and she is under the anesthesia but you can see her" he cried and breathed out in relief.

"she is fine" he laughed And hugged damien.

"go see her man" damien patted his shoulder and broke the hug.

mother fucker is whipped

he thought with a chuckle

xavin approached her almost breaking down upon seeing her.

"don't ever pull this stunt ever again" he whispered as he held her hand in his both hands and kissed it.

"mmhmm my baby" she mumbled in her sleep and xavin's heart broke, he kissed her forehead and caressed her hair,

"I'll be right back baby" he said and walked out.

"Damien" he called damien making him stand up.

"give him back, give her son back to her" he pleaded holding his arm,

Damien took a deep breath and turned to his right.

"Don't make me do this man, I promised Irina, dimitri is hers"

"i never asked anything from you, I've been there for you through good and bad, thick and thin, I never questioned you, just grant me this" he pleaded.

"you'll be in the same house, he will be with irina and you too, she won't survive without him" he was desperate he was ready to be on his knees,

Damien sighed pinching his nose bridge,

"Irina will kill me, but just for you, it'll be worth it" he said and xavin hugged him.

"Thanks man" he smiled widely before running towards rose.

he sat there with Rose whole night,

"Rose?" he asked as he felt her fingers twitch in his hands,

she groaned as she opened her eyes, it took her few minutes to gather herself, and as soon as she did she started crying,

"oh god am I still alive, no no no" she cried in disbelief,

a tear slipped from his eyes as he saw her crying over being alive.

"What do you want from me, you don't let me live, you don't let me die" she looked at xavin while she sobbed loudly.

"I...I am sorry for everything Rose" he managed to say and she looked at him in disbelief,

she laughed humorlessly,

"what exactly are you sorry for?" she asked,

"for making you dependant on me, for playing with your brain" he cried and she stared at him in shock, she wasn't expecting it, she didn't even knew that he was doing this to her all these months, she was expecting him to be sorry for throwing her at damien, and protecting him while he raped her, for leaking her footage, she had no idea she was being groomed and brainwashed.

"just go" she closed her eyes,

"I am sorry Rose" he cried sitting on his knees begging for her forgiveness.

"then let me go" she said staring at the ceiling,

"it's not In my hands, I am not the boss" he cried, she scoffed and looked at him with nothing in her eyes, they were void of emotions.

"then give me my son, either I am with him, or I am dead, I'll make sure I an successful the next time"

"you can have dimitri" he said and her eyes filled with life.

"what?" she tried to get up fell down on again.

"easy" he helped her abd continued.

"yes, I convinced damien, you can keep him"

"oh xavin" she hugged him, yes she just saw him confess that he manipulated her emotions and made her dependent on him in every way, but it just doesn't stop like a on and off switch, she was extremely dependent on him, and it will be a long process to get back to normal.

"he'll be in your arms when we go back home tommorow"

*kuzbetov mansion*

"NO NO NO" Irina screamed throwing and stomping everything she could put her hands on,

Damien groaned in annoyance.

"I promised him okay" he snapped

"what about me? you promised me too" she glared at him panting with rage.

"He is your brother, he is my best freind"

he explained, even he was ready to let Rose go, he hated it when he had to give her to xavin, but he can't say no to his dear wife, she knows him well she knows he lusts her and made sure he got no chance to go to her, and he knew Irina was aware of his lust for Rose, he always thought one last fuck and I'll be over her but it was never enough, even after giving her to xavin he thought of ways to get into her room, or get her back, but nothing worked since he had to be discreet making it difficult, xavin kept saying he was in love with her but damien laughed it off thinking he might be lusting for her just like himself, but the way he cried and begged and the fear of losing Rose made him put an stop to his obsession for Rose, cuz for them family comes first, and it was best freinds happiness that stood in between Rose and damien.

"We'll be in the same house, and its not like he is with you, he is with nannies all the time" Damien cupped her cheeks and Irina readied silent knowing well that no one can change his mind now.

but he didn't knew the lengths she could go to.

"Rose wait, I need to sign your discharge papers" he called amused at her excitement she couldn't wait a minute longer to see her son, she was curious what her son looks like now, she saw him last when was barely 2 months old he must be 7 months old now, she shifted on her foot impatiently,

"lets go" he said making her smile widely,

he stared at her in awe, he never saw her smile that genuinely.

she kept fidgeting her fingers the whole way and before xavin could even reacted sprinted inside the home as soon as they reached, xavin followed her and he felt all the energy from him drain out and stuff from his hands fell down as soon as he saw the situation of the living room.

before he could ask about the casket,

Damien came forward,

"dimitri Is dead"

I hate to do this you guys,
I fucking hate this chapter,
I wrote this so reluctantly and with a heavy heart, but this is was discussed with the original writer,

I am so depressed and shaken, I am a mother myself and while writing this and imagining what rose will go through it affected me a lot I am still shaken and struggling to cope with the fact this is just a story.

anyways that's it for today,
see you guys tommorow
