Chapter 51 : Wait For Me Tonight
Madalynn chuckled at my comment, nodding her head. “Yes, it’s a busy day for me.”
I thought the reminder of the engagement party tonight would break me even more, but oddly, it didn’t affect me as much as I thought it would. Perhaps, I was finally getting used to the heartbreak.
“Miss Rosalie,” Romero’s Beta greeted me. “It’s a pleasure to be at your service.”
Thad mixed feelings towards him. The first time we met, he burst into my room with Madalynn. However, he was also the one who apologized on behalf of Romero and Madalynn.
“May I at least know your name?” I asked, turning towards him.
“Damian,” he replied quickly, his dark gaze sweeping over my figure.
I nodded my head as a greeting. “Please call my Rosalie.”
The crack of thunder sounded in the distance. There was no doubt that a storm was approaching. I had heard there might even be flooding in the valley of the capital city.
I used to love sitting next to an open window and watching the rain fall down from the sky, its water seeping into the earth to help spring forth new life. All of it was part of a never-ending circle that created and then took away the things we held dear.
I turned my attention from the window back to Madalynn.
“I’ll do it. The sooner, the better.”
I needed to get away, and besides, I couldn’t bear to get in between an engaged couple.
“It would be a bit rushed…” Madalynn frowned, exchanging a look with Damian.
I bit my lower lip, and my heart ached. “Please…”
Madalynn hesitated for a moment, then looked towards Damian. “What do you think?”
Damian simply nodded affirmatively.
“Are you sure?” I was shocked that they were able to make something happen so quickly.
A small smile peeked across Madalynn’s face. “Yes. If you want to go tonight, then it will happen. To be honest, it’s ‘the sooner, the better’ for me, too.”
With the timeline decided, I was lost in my own thoughts for a moment. It was almost too good to be true.
In particular, I still had my reservations about Madalynn.
.
Madalynn was irritated by my silence. “Do you want my help or not?” she bit out, staring at me. “You said you wanted to go, and tonight is the perfect opportunity for it to happen. Everyone will be at the dinner, and the approaching storm will give cover for your escape.”
She was right.
Standing to my feet, I walked toward the window, looking out at the approaching black clouds in the sky. My fingers fiddled as I tried to absorb what she was telling me.
I sighed.

“Okay,” I said. “What do I do?”
I was taking this opportunity. My courage came and went, and I needed to make this happen, before I changed my mind
Madalynn glanced at her father’s Beta. “Damian?”
Damian nodded, and then proceeded to explain the plan. “The party will start at 7:00 tonight. Most of the guards will be assigned to the event to ensure the safety of the guests. The ladies’ washroom across the main dining hall has a window looking out on the garden. I’ll wait for you outside of that window at 7:45.”
Now I understood why she sent me the dress and the accessories – the inner layer of the dress could be converted to a comfortable full-length black jumpsuit for my escape, and one of the accessories was a watch.
Damian emphasized, “Be on time. Otherwise, we’ll both be caught.”
“Where are we going afterwards?” I asked.
We’ll head to a cottage in the woods outside of Mirage. There, we can put on disguises before we head out to the port.”
How far is the cottage? What do I need to bring with me?” I wanted to gather as much information about the plan as possible so I knew what to expect.
“About two hours of running. You don’t need much.” Damian answered patiently. I noticed that Madalynn, however, was getting frustrated at the time we were spending on details.
“But once they find out, they will send men after me. Ethan isn’t a man to give up easily,” I said with a sigh. Especially since I carried his heir.
“They won’t if they believe that you are dead,” Madalynn answered coldly.
Before I could ask anything more, Madalynn turned, making her way towards the door. My eyes drifted from her to Damian, who bowed his head gently to me and then followed her out.
Damian seemed to have a solid plan put together- a real escape plan.
I looked at the clock. It was just past four. The clock was ticking down, and my time left in this place was growing to a close.
Sitting on the sofa, I stared off into the distance, thinking about what I was about to do. Never in my life had I ever attempted something so daring. Never had I ever been a risk-taker. Never had taken a chance and defied orders.
My hand fell instinctively to my stomach.
The small bump grew larger every day, and it kept reminding me to make the best choice for us. This wasn’t about me anymore. It was about the baby- and making sure I survived to protect it.
However, before I could do anything, the door opened once more.
“Rosalie!” Ethan’s voice was a bit rushed.
I turned around to face him,
“I heard Madalynn… ”
Me gaze landed on the crease in between his brows, and then moved down to his breathtaking eyes.
After today, I would never see those eyes again.
He would be gone from my life forever.
“Madalynn didn’t mean any harm,” I replied softly.
He didn’t waste time, crossing the space between us. He knelt in front of me and looked at my stomach with a worried glance. “Is everything okay?”
Of course, he was worried about the baby.
Pressing down my longing for him, I chuckled bitterly. “Yes, the baby is fine. I’m just a little emotional and stuck in my thoughts.”
“Just that?” He studied my face, obviously still suspicious.
“Why are you here, Ethan?” | asked, shaking my head as I stood on my feet.
“I just had this feeling that I should come check on you…”
Turning from the table, I again assured him, “The baby is fine.”
“Not the baby-” he began.
I was taken by surprise, trying to absorb what he was saying.
He was actually here to check on me?
Then he hesitated, reached into his jacket pocket, and pulled out a small box. “I have something fo
ou.”
Stunned, I held out my hand, and he pressed the box into my palm.
“What is it?”
His lips curled up a little. “Open it.”
I opened the box. Inside was a beautiful necklace with an elegant teardrop diamond pendant.
Igasped, not sure what to say. It was a beautiful gift- and came at the absolute worse time.
“It’s beautiful,” I said, but then added with a sigh, “but it’s too valuable for me to accept…”
Seeing his stiff expression, I quickly added, “But thank you so much for the thought. It means a lot…”
“Don’t move.” He ordered in a tone that was not negotiable.
He pulled the necklace out of the box and walked around behind me.
