"Xavier is not your father??" He asked and I shrugged..

Bryan's POV.

"Bryan...my life has already been destroyed, I have no joy in me, day and night I cry in sadness.." She sniffed and slumped on the couch.

"Xavier is not your father, who told you???" I asked staring at her.

"He told me, yes, he said to me and...my life is threatened!!.. Bryan makes me smile again, make me happy once more...I'm sad for Rose's death but don't you think it's fate???" She sulked.

"What are you saying??" I asked and she wiped her eyes.

"We were once in love that the world was aware of it, out of my foolishness I broke it up, I was carried away by lust, I know you were shattered by it...I never cared about your feelings but...don't you think there is still a chance to make it up??..please I still love you..." She mumbled making me peer at her.

"Are you alright??" I asked confusedly.

"The document is a deal for us to be married, I can break the deal but..why would I??.. Austin has left me, Xavier isn't my father!!..who do you want me to be with, I thought I can hate you, I thought there was no place for you not until now...fate wants us together please don't throw me away!!!!" She bawled with tears falling off.

She knelt and held my leg hugging it tightly.

I stared at her and sighed deeply, her words were so touching..she was pitiful.

"So you want me to...marry you??" I asked and she nodded slowly.

"We should start loving each other, I wouldn't have thought of a chance with you if the rose is still alive, just think of it...why would she die now if you both ate destined to be together??" She asked and I felt my heart grow heavy.

"Your father killed Rose!!!!" I grunt.

"He isn't my father!!!.. I was adopted!" She retorted.

"Even if I feel sorry for you, it doesn't mean I can love you, Rose Is the only girl I love and would always love!!" I stated.

"Would you marry the dead??" She asked with an arched brow.

"There is someone who looks like Rose, she got my heart, at first sight, I feel so attracted to her like magic...!" I muttered making her jolt up in surprise.

"The Bryan I know can never love at first sight!!..what is wrong with you??" She asked and I smiled remembering the strange girl's eyes.

"I am not in love yet, I just need to meet her and that's all!!" I smiled and shut my eyes in thoughts.

"Another girl had already taken you before me???" I asked.

"Huh??..what are you saying??... I can never love you!!..so, stop all these.." I snapped.

"Do you want to endanger this new girl??..stop being a fool!!!" She yelled.

"Break that deal!!..let us both go against the deal, that would make it invalid, we don't love each other so let's end it all!!!" I gruffed.

"I still love you so....it is still valid, brace yourself up and face your fate!!" She breathed before walking away...

I took out my phone and called Jace immediately...

"Hello, Jace.." I said just as he answered the call.

"I'd send to you the picture of that lady I saw with her family, help me search for her by all means...get everything about her and her family!!" I said.

"You mean the girl that got your heart??" He asked.

"Exactly, I want to meet her so badly, my heart long for a minute with her, her eyes look like that of Rose, she is just too beautiful!!" I breathed.

"Okay, I would do it right away..see ya!!" He hung the call and I lay down exhausted...

Rose's POV.

My eyes fluttered and opened, I could only see the ceiling...

I blinked and yawned before sitting up.

Everywhere was quiet calm and strange...

Just as I made to climb out of the bed, the door opened.

I looked up and saw a young cute guy walk in with a tray in his hand...

He smiled widely as he saw I was awake.

"Wow, finally you woke up!!" He chirped.

I stared at him like he was having two heads, seriously I'm I dreaming??

"Who are you?..and..where I'm I??..where is my mother?" I threw different questions looking around the small room.

"I'll answer all your question but you have to eat, you must be really hungry!" He cooed and I sneered at him.

"How can I eat from a stranger??..you want you to poison me right?" I shrugged.

'My name is Fred, I'm the son of the landlord here, no one knows I'm here except your mother, I got so interested in you as soon I saw you and your mother being brought in..." He said with a shy smile.

"You brought this food and drink for me?" I asked and he nodded.

"The doctor said you would wake today so I...."

"Fine!!..where is my mom?" I asked.

"She went to look for work.." He replied and my eyes widened..

"What??..she did what??..how??..why??.." I exclaimed recalling her ailment..

"Are you alright?" He asked holding my hand...

"You can go back to your house. I have a lot to think of!" I half yelled.

"Really???..is there anything troubling an angel like you??" He teased.

"So where is this place??..you even look so different!" I sighed..

"You are in New York now!" He replied and I peered at him..

My heart was ripped off at his word, it has happened!!!

Xavier truly succeeded in sending me away from him, I'm away from Bryan.

Oh no!!..

I won't see him, Jace or Clara...they are all away from me.

"You look so tensed, what is it?" Fred's voice drifts me back to reality as I had already drowned in the past, every moment with Bryan kept replaying.

I couldn't just wonder how true it is that all have been passed away.

No more Bryan.

"Do you know who Bryan is?" I asked and he sneered at me.

"That name is strange to me, who is he to you?" He asked with his eyes dimmed.

Just then, my mother walked in and I hastily hugged her as tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Mom, would I see him again??..would I meet my friends???" I whimpered and she sniffed.

"We can't meet them again, they had been taken away from our lives, we should forget....."

"No!!!..." I screamed pulling off from her body...

"Isn't there any way I can see them again??... Bryan!!!" I cried.

"We are so lucky to be kept alive and healthy, I don't want us to pass through any pain again, we should start a new life and forget the past and everyone connected to it!!!" She stated.

"Mom...do you know how much I...love him??.. I can't forget him!" I screamed.

"Thinking about him would cause you more pain, he couldn't save us from Xavier, George couldn't save us from Xavier...let's just stop hurting ourselves...Rose.." She breathed and I felt nothing but sadness cover me...

"Okay Rose, this is Fred our new friend..his mother got this place we are living in, because of him, we were allowed to stay a month without payment.." She smiled and Fred also smiled staring at me.

I breathed and shut my eyes,

It was real, we are now living a new life with Bryan and my loved ones...

"Won't you thank him???" My mother exclaimed with a raised brow.

I looked up to him and smiled.

"Thanks for your nice gesture, you must be kind and considerate, I'm grateful.." I said and he blushed to smile widely...

"I did it for you..." He mumbled.

"Mom, so you went to look for a job why??..don't try to stress's yourself again, I would be the one fending for us!!" I snapped and she smiled.

"Hey, shut your mouth and start getting ready for your school tomorrow, he would be taking you there..." She said and I arched my brow.

"Fred would be taking me to school??..why?...and, does it means that... I won't be going to diamond musical school again???" I said blinking my wet eyes...

"Stop talking about the past and face the present. Bryan is forgotten!" She said and walked away leaving me devastated.

"Rose..." Fred

"Don't call my name!!!!" I screamed to him in exasperation.

"Really??" He arched his brow.

"I don't know who you are...but...please don't add to my sadness, I know you are having feelings for me, I can see it clearly but please you got no hope...I have Bryan in my heart only, I can never love any other guy!" I stated and stood up to leave.

"But I love you, I want us to get closer, seriously seeing you gave me new hope...I am ready to do anything for you!" He purred.

"I'm sorry...I..." My mouth was shut my finger crossed over it.

"Shhh, I know you still think of Bryan, with time, you would forget him because of the distance..just know I am there for you at all times!" He said softly...

"Stop saying trash, please...I can never forget Bryan. I'm sure we shall meet again!" I stated and walked away.

My life would surely be a bored one from now.

I can recall the past, every moment with Clara, Jace and Bryan are awesome and great...

Why would I be here all alone, I feel empty and lonely...

Standing on the balcony, tears rolled down continuously...

The face of Bryan won't stop filling my memories...

Just like a dream, we are separated..

How can I bear this!!!

I was still lost in my thought when someone wrapped me from behind...

Huh???

"You badly wants to meet Bryan right??" I heard Fred voice.

"Fred, break this hug, are you this annoying??" I whined.

"When I first saw you, I felt that we got something in common. Xavier brought you here right??" He asked and I cringed at his words.

"Do you know Xavier??" I asked in shock.

"Yes... it's a long story, you must have fallen in love with Bryan right?" He asked and I nodded.

"I'm sorry but it's impossible to be with him, Xavier would never allow that, it was the same way he shattered the life of my parent and mine just because I fell head over heels In love with Sophia..." He breathed.

"Really???"

"Yeah..although she never noticed me..Xavier still threw me off to this place, he would never want anyone to stop his daughter from marrying Bryan.." He sighed.

"This is bad...my heart is locked to him, I would never fall in love with any other man again!!" I whimpered...

"This was the same way I felt, although my memory was partially wiped, I still remembered Sophia..well, it's all in the past now, so..won't you also forget Bryan and give me a chance??" He said slowly.

"I'm sorry I can't!!.. I don't mind loving him only till eternity, I just believe we will meet again..." I breathed with a heavy heart...

"All through the year after I got separated from Sophia, I was so obsessed that I found my way back, yes!!.. I found the route to return rea and get to see Sophia sing..." He said and I turned to him sharply.

"Really??" I exclaimed.

"Yeah, Rose. I can take you to see Bryan again.." He said and I felt my whole body stiff.
