Dante's POV

"Why did you tell Arthur you should've killed him when you got a chance that day at the restaurant? And what happened to him anyway?" She asked looking at me with those hazel eyes.

"He tried to kill my father. That's all I will say about that event. As for what happened to him, I hope his laying dead somewhere for all I care."

"What happened at that building?" Rose asked with panic in her voice.

Taking a deep breath I sat down and waited for her to do the same.

"Well like I've told you he held his gun to my head and I thought I was done for then out of nowhere I hear my father telling him to drop the gun."

"You're father but how did he know where you were?"

"When Arthur gave me the address to the warehouse I wrote it down on a notepad in my father's office and took a photo of it for myself. I knew that from my earlier conversation with my dad over the phone he'd go there to look for clues and how glad was I too see him."

"I can't believe he would do such a thing as to kidnap an infant. I'm just glad you found her."

"I'm glad I did as well. She might have been dead today... I don't know how my father could've trusted a man like Arthur."

She looked at me in shock and than she stood up and it was as if a light globe switched on, on top of her head.

"I knew something was off with the guy." She said and it was my turn to look at her confusingly.

She told me how her father and Arthur had met and how she found her father dying in his office. Then her mother and Arthur married and how her life took a turn for the worst but what she told me next was just mind blowing.

"What! He said we were responsible for your father's death? But wait your father was Michael Olden... and your surname is Olsen..."

She turned away before she spoke again.

"I wanted my father's company and his money back so I went to court and took the evidence Arthur has given me but the case got kicked out before anything could even happen. I feared you might come and kill me too for snooping so I had to change my name and appearance even my hair colour.

I think a while and then it all make sense. It explains the baby's brown hair and a friend of my father who was a judge at the time had called him and told him about this mysterious case.

Luckily he had made copies of those reports and it was all fake.

"No my father was going to pay out the money but then he heard your father had died. We still have the money in a savings account. Your mother came to ask my father for help and he gave her a huge amount of money. Then we've learnt she was married to Arthur and he must've poisoned her mind with all his lies. Arthur sold your father's company and my father bought it anonymously. Father pulled some strings and got a copy of your father's will and saw that he left everything to his daughter Rosaline Olden we tried looking up for her but she mmm... I mean you were nowhere to be found. It was like you've vanished from the face of the earth. You can have it all back it's yours."

She looked at me shocked then a tear slipped from her eye.

"That bastard... it was him. My father warned me and I was to foolish to see through his lies. He killed my father." She said sobbing.

I walked to her and took her in my embrace then I noticed Quinn coming back looking at us puzzled.

"Is it the baby... did something happen while I was gone?" He asked panicking.

"No I told him about my father... and Arthur was lying to me the whole time. He took me for a fool!"

"Shhh Rose forget about it, he got what he deserved." I told her keeping her closer to my chest afraid she might break free and run into Quinn's arms. Even though I know now his only her friend and nothing ever happened between them I'm still jealous of the bond they share.

"We all should get some rest I'm sure Doctor Savelli would call if there's any changes. Come Rose let me take you to your room. Quinn I've asked my mother to get a room ready for you I'll take you in a bit." I said looking at him.

Before she could even protest I lifted her up and carried her to her room. I placed a kiss on her forehead than I walked out.

The car ride back home with Quinn was weird. I remember punching him for cheating on Rose.

"Sorry about what happened at the club. If I'd knew I wouldn't had done that." I said to him not taking my eyes of the road.

"Don't worry about it... I'm just happy you guys finally sorted things out. You guys do belong together."

I looked at him surprised.

"You think so. Like you really think we do?"

"Yeah I can see the love you guys have for each other."

That was the last we spoke. When we reached home I informed my parents about the baby. My mother was so happy she almost kissed me to death. My mother also accepted Quinn with open arms and soon they were like old friends.

She took him to go show off her designer collections and jewellery when he mentioned he was a fashion editor.

I thanked my dad for saving me and the baby but was curious as to what happened to Arthur.

"Dad what happened to Arthur?"

"I did what should've been done long ago."

He said and I left it at that. I went to take a quick shower and packed clean clothes for Rose. Then I realised we haven't done any shopping for the baby. I went to look for mother and Quinn. She was showing him a jewellery piece my father brought her for their 35th wedding anniversary.

"I need you two to go shopping for the baby."

They looked at each other than both screamed out in excitement.

"I'll take you too Milan they have only the best and my granddaughter only deserves the best."

I handed her my credit card which she refused but I didn't take no for a answer.

"Get Rose something comfortable as well Quinn." If it was any other man I wouldn't have uttered those words but he was her bestfriend.

He just smilled at me than my mother dragged him out of the room.
