🌹R O S E  III🌹

🌹CHAPTER SEVENTEEN🌹

The war inside my head is about to tear me apart as I have a choice that is almost impossible. I know that if I say yes than I have giving up my life, but on the other hand I will be saving the man that I love more than I can possibly explain for Lena plans on murdering him, again.

If I say no then I will only make her mad and then bad things will happen, I'm not sure if something bad will happen to me but I know that she will hurt and try to k-kill Alexander again. I can't let that happen, that is why I have this choice but I truly don't have one when I think about it.

I take a deep breath before I look deep into her eyes to see happiness shine through them like never before. "Lena... if I say yes, I need to you to be honest with me because I am going to ask you a question and I would not be able to bear it if you'd lie" I say to her and she only smiles as she waits for me to speak.

She doesn't say anything and I think that she will be honest with me. "Is Alexander alive? Please that is all I need to know. I will never mention him again but only if you answer this one question with complete honesty" I plead to her. It may have ruined the mood and made her mad at me but I have to know.

He is the man that I've fallen in love with and words will never be able to describe the love that I feel and the feelings inside me. Lena stands up and puts the box with the ring on the table as she starts to laugh, her laughter holds coldness inside it, and almost as if it is cruel and... evil.

"Oh, dear innocent little Rose, don't you get it, I don't need to kill him now that he's moved on. You'd think you're the one that he wants. Get over it, Rose, I'm the only one that could ever want you. He's just a man that wants sex and nothing more. It has always been just a game to him" Lena says to me.

The tears spring to my eyes as her words sting my heart. I have to believe that what she is saying is nor wrong but she is looking at me and all I see is honesty inside her eyes. She's speaking the truth but that doesn't make any sense to me at all.

She walks over to me and goes on both her knees and takes my hands. "Rose, I know it hurts but he's a player. You knew that when you met him. He had a different woman every single day. He only wanted to use your body and then throw you away like you were nothing" She continues.

Hearing her say that breaks my heart. Alexander isn't like that anymore. He does care for me and he does love me. This isn't a game for him. He truly does love me. That I know and that is what I believe. "Yes" I whisper. She raises an eyebrow at me in confusion.

I smile to her. "Yes, I will marry you" I say to her with a smile on my face but that smile is hard to keep up, it doesn't feel like it is a real smile at all. Happiness is the only thing that is on her face as she jumps up and squeals. She takes the ring out of the box and she isn't slow at putting it on my finger.

"This is the second best day of my life" Lena says happily as she has a hard time controlling herself and staying calm, while I need to force myself to be happy. I may have never truly thought of my wedding but after I got engaged to Alexander I had given it some thought and I only thought about marrying him.

Now I'm marrying my best friend which in it self does feel strange and wrong for so many reasons. The ring does look beautiful but the rings that Alexander gave me, both of them are still the most beautiful ones that I've ever seen. "The second best?" I question at her as she finally sits down once again but it is clear that she truly wants to continue jumping.
