Selfish.

Rose and Arthur had left after they shared ice cream.

"You were right Arthur does is something else when it comes to Rose" Harry commented.

"And the same goes for my sister " Ralph finished his breakfast.

"Let them be, Rose still needs to be pampered in her condition, "said Alex.

Sean sighed and looked at them. frown on his face and said, "It not only when she's pregnant. Those two just show their love anywhere anytime"

Rose and Arthur returned later after a shower and a change of clothes.

She told them that fainting last night had been caused by her fear after she saw the figure had disappeared.

"You have to be careful, we can't afford any bad things to happen in your condition," Ralph said.

Arthur decided to make adjustments in security and Rose's movement anywhere. It made her unhappy but it also ensured her safety.

The others agreed and promised to keep a watch on her or their surrounding for the strange figure.

"It's creepy that someone in a mask would follow you around, "Harry said.

"They don't want to be identified that why the face is covered. But if Rose claims it's a woman then it must be someone we know "Sean added.

After their meeting, her friends left but promised to keep a watch out for the stalker.

Rose and Arthur stayed home. Arthur after making Rose comfortable in the living room, left her watching TV and went to the study to do some work. He wasn't going to leave her alone after she fainted last night.

He had wanted to know who was the person behind the mask. The last time Rose was hurt when she was pregnant with their firstborn, he wasn't going to allow anything this time to slip out of his hands again.

She was carry twins which were already giving her a hard time to carry, if something else was to interfere then it would be bad for her condition.

Sean and Irene drove back home and got ready for work.

"Are you sure it okay now?" Sean held her injured hand from before.

She nodded, "Am okay, Ralph said I can start work again " she assured him.

He was still mad at his mother for what she had done. Even when he heard about her apologizing Sean wasn't affected at all. He had told her how he felt the last time he went home but his mother still did this to his girlfriend.

His eyes gazed into hers with worry for their future. He was planning to marry her anytime soon but his mother was proving to be a nuisance to his plans.

"What wrong love?" Irene asked.

Sean bent down and kissed her lips.

"Nothing, just be careful and don't do anything serious until its it'spletely better "he commanded with a smile.

"I love you, "said Irene.

Sean pulled her up from where she was sitting right into his arms. Holding her close to his heart, "I love you more"Sean breathed.

Still thinking about his mother's behabehaviorards Irene, Sean's held Irene more tightly.

"And I will never let you go " he whispered.

Irene complained about him being all touchy that he had to let go . He drpped her at work and after making sure she wasn't going to do anything that could hurt her hand, Sean drove off.

Sean drove home , his fther wasn't home to welcome him since he was away on a business trip. The maid told him where his mother after he walked in.

"Mother "he called her.

She looked from what she was doing . Sean oved closer and was able to see the magazine she had been reading. It had pictures of wedding dresses.

"Oh my son is finally back " she cried out with joy. Sean avoided her hug when she got up to welcome him.

He took a seat opposite her and watched her return to hers.

"Tea?" she asked.

Sean frowned hearing her say that word.

"I don't take tea anymore since that day" he let out.

His mother knew what he meant which silenced her . She sat down nd stared at him. Then opened the magazine and showed it to him.

"Am trying to find a good dress for Marie Claire for your wedding "

Sean was disgusted by the statement she had said. He wondered how his mother would think of such without his consent .

"Mother I want to know why you hate Irene so much?" he asked.

Without hesitation, his mother answered the same thing she always said, " She doesn't deserve you or our family at all"

Sean smiled but his eyes stared at his mother with a cold glare.

"Mother is so disappointed in you, I actually came here eyou to have changed, since that day . But your still a old selfish woman as always"

He got up looking down at her, " This would be the last time you see me in this house. And please don't attend my wedding Irene might feel uncomfortable"

"But....." his mother tried to say but Sean walked away without looking back.

He loved his mother but Irene was his future and if he didn't leave his mother's wings he would lose her.
