The Italian's secret Love Child

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

3rd person POV

The next morning.

Rose woke up to find Quinn fast asleep on the sofa opposite hers.

She stood up and walked over towards him and plunged herself into his arms. She needed to be held and to forget everything that has happened yesterday.

Quinn woke up caught by surprise. He placed his arms around her and held Rose close to his chest. Crying once more she dampened his shirt with her tears...

Slowly she lifted her head after she had no more tears left to cry Rose kissed his lips.

Quinn's hold on her shoulders tighten and he looked at her questioning her actions. 

She took him by his chin lowering his head to hers wanting to kiss him once again.

"Rose don't you're hurting." He said breaking eye contact.

Rose's cheeks turned a bright red due to embarrassment.

"I'm so sorry I shouldn't have...  I just got so caught up by everything that has happened and I just wanted to forget it all..."

She began walking away from Quinn but he took her by the hand before she got a chance to escape. He held her close to him.

"I understand... I'm sorry I wasn't here when it all happened. I should never have left you here by yourself. " he said placing his hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry I  couldn't protect you, little princess. Are you going to tell Dante about the pregnancy?" Quinn asked full of concern.

"I tried to last night and he kicked me out before I could even get a word in. He was so angry I doubt he ever wants to see my face again. I'm afraid he might take the child out of spite."

Quinn sighs heavily as he kept me at a distance to look me in the eyes.

"He can't we'll fight him with all we got."

"But they have money and a lot of it," She said in a sob.

"I have money too maybe not as much as them. I'll go to my parents for a loan if I have to." He said taking her hands into his.

"I'll take your baby as my own... we can raise the baby together in Paris. Dante never has to know about the baby's existence."

Rose started crying as Quinn talked about the baby.

"You tried to tell him and he threw you out. And you don't need a man capable of killing around your child."He said pulling her in his arms.

"You'd do that for me."

"I'd do anything for you."

"I can't expect that from you. What about your career? We don't know what Dante's capable of. What if he targets your business? I can't see you give it all up because of me. You worked so hard to get your company up and running."

She lightly pushed him away from her. She could never expect this much from him.

A baby needs a lot of care and love and he is in the prime of his career... I can't let a baby that isn't even his be his downfall.

" Are you sure about this?"

After a few seconds Quinn nodded his head.

"Yes."

"I'll need a lot of help during the first few months after the birth. And I know nothing about babies and neither do you."

"We'll make it work. Will you move to Paris with me? There's nothing here that is keeping you from leaving anymore."
