Epilogue

Rose's POV

It's been three years since I left Dominic. I got my stuff and never looked back. God, I missed that man so much. I knew he would have been betrayed if I stayed in contact with Lisa, so I changed my number and moved outta state.

Last I heard, Dominic got with that girl Jocelyn from the restaurant. They have a little girl; she's two now. It broke my heart so bad when I saw them on Instagram together. I envied her. That was supposed to be Dominic and I, but instead here I was in Mississippi all alone.

I transferred from Georgia State to Jackson State to finish my degree. I graduated with my bachelors in accounting and law. I started my own law firm.

About three days after I left, I got an alert from my bank saying that five transactions of 10 million dollars were made to my account. In three years, it's now worth almost 87 million dollars. I don't touch that money. I didn't want him thinking that I needed anything from him.

After graduation, I stayed in Mississippi. It was a change from Atlanta, but it was needed. While at work one day, I got the biggest surprise. It wasn't Dominic, but if I knew him like I think I did, he would be coming soon.

"Ms. G," my secretary Miranda, buzzed in. "You have a visitor here."

I looked at the time. "When is my next appointment?" I asked her.

"It's at 2:15," she answered.

It was now 11:48. I don't take a lunch until 12:30. I went ahead and told her to send them in.

"Hey, Lady Seven," I heard when my door opened.

It was only one person that ever called me that. I looked up and Neal was standing in front of me.

"Oh my God!" I squealed and ran to Neal. I hugged him tight. "God, I really missed you."

"I missed you too li'l lady," he smiled.

We sat down and we started talking. "So how is Dominic?" I asked him.

"Miserable," he laughed. "You know he married my sister?"

"He's married? I knew they had the little girl, but I didn't know they got married." I was heartbroken.

"Yeah, after Zaydha was born, he went ahead and married her. He did it because he knew it would make her happy; all the time ignoring his own feelings. Dom hasn't gotten over you."

"Neal, it's been three years. I did what I did so he could have a family."

"What you mean?" he asked.

"I had too much damage to my body after Demarcus and Miguel raped me that I had to have a hysterectomy at 12 years old. I can't have children. Dominic really wanted children. He used to talk about it all the time. He said he was willing to compromise, but the day your mother went into the hospital, he was there with Jocelyn making babies. He never came home."

"Are you serious?" Neal asked me.

"Yeah," I angered him. "Straight up, I've been in love with Dominic since I was 12 years old. I dreamed of giving him a family. You have no idea how less of a woman I feel because I can't give him a family. That's why I left."

"I never knew that. He didn't say anything about that when he used to talk about you. Anyways, all I know is Dominic is not happy. Zaydha is his pride and joy. And even though Jocelyn is my sister, I know for a fact, he's not happy with her."

It warmed my heart to hear that he was suffering just like I was. However, I wasn't gonna interfere with their marriage and break her heart like mine was.

"Hey, by the way, I'm sorry about your mom. I wish I could have been there."

"Thanks," he smiled. We were quiet for about a second before Neal asked, "What are you going to do about Dominic?"

"Neal, I can't break their marriage up," I told him.

"Even if she broke up your engagement?" he countered.

"Baby Zaydha needs both her parents. The love that Dominic can give her feels a helluva lot better when he's there in the home with her."

"That's why I fuck with you," he said.

"By the way, how did you find me?" I asked him.

"I tracked your bank statements. Don't worry; he doesn't know where you are."

"Thank you, Neal. It means a lot to me."

After Neal left, I felt better. I really wanted to be with Dominic, but knowing that he has his baby, I was okay with the outcome. I let go of a lot of animosity and hatred that day. I moved forward and I could now be happy myself.

Seven's POV

Three years. Three fucking years I've been married to this crazy bitch Jocelyn. I thought I could just get her pregnant and not worry about being with her, but that wasn't happening.

After Rose left, I was stuck with Jocelyn. The only good thing outta this was my Zaydha. God, that precious little girl stole my heart that moment I first heard her heartbeat. She was my life.

I missed Rose so much. I wanted to find her. I needed to find her. When she left, I filled her bank account with millions. I knew she didn't need it. I wanted it there just in case she needed it. I've been checking that account every day for the past three years, and there's no activity. How was she living?

"Baby?" I turned and saw Jocelyn standing at our door.

"Yeah, baby, wussup?" I was scrolling through Instagram when she caught my eye. A face I could never forget.

"I'm pregnant," I headed Jocelyn say.

Fuck! I thought. Now I'll never be about to get rid of her!

"It's okay, Jocelyn," I told her. "How far along are you?"

"Four months," she said.

That sounds about right. I've been fucking the shit outta her ass. I wish she was Rose. At least I would have been happy! It was too late to have an abortion; not that I would anyways. My children are the only blessing that has come from this.

I didn't care about Jocelyn. I sent Rose a DM on Instagram.

Baby I miss you so much I don't know where you are but I wish you would contact me I love you Rose and I always will

I probably shouldn't have contacted her but I missed that girl so much. She was my Rose. She was my everything. If she ever takes me back, I'm getting custody of my kids and we're gonna be a family. Let's see how this goes.
