Let Me See Her

Another quickly passed and it's time for Jerry to go home to their new house. He became distant to everyone after the conversation happened between him and Rosie. The wedding is going to happen once Jayvee signs the divorce paper, which he refused to sign.

Their family lawyer already warned him that he needs to sign the divorce papers or he'll stay in jail for more than five years and worse, they will kick him out entirely from the Royal family just like what they did to Jared.

Jayvee is distraught and couldn't decide what he's going to do. If he signs the divorce paper, then he will get out of prison but Jerry will win in his life. If he doesn't sign it, he'll stay in jail but Rosie and Jerry will still be together even if they are not married because they have a son.

"If I were you, I would've signed it. Go back to London and start a new life." The lawyer said while they are inside the visiting room.

"I have a career! Why would I—."

"You have no career at all, Young Master. Your agency bought out your contract, your fans despised you, your name is in every social media platform and every headline is bad."

Jayvee felt his world fall apart. First, he was about to lose his wife, second, the name he built in the industry was now ruined and reached his downfall. The only thing he could do now is to live like an ordinary person in London where he needed to hide until his issue died down. The lawyer promised that they will take care of it, all of his issues, even the finances he will need to live in London. And all of that will happen if he signs the divorce paper.

He knew he f****d up and have no other choice but to sign the papers, but the fact that Jerry is still alive and will build a new family with his wife was gradually killing him and tearing him apart.

He lazily leaned back as his shoulders slumped down. He looked up to the ceiling to stop his tears from welling up, releasing several sighs.

"Young master."

"My grandfather really hates me." He mumbled but enough for the lawyer to hear. "And Jerry is his favourite because all the privilege is on him."

"Before you two were born, His Majesty's future was already planned because his mom is the eldest. And all of the members of the royal family knew that and accepted it except for your father." The lawyer said. Jayvee brought his head to look at the lawyer confusedly as he didn't know where he's going. "Your father hate the idea that Jerry, I mean His majesty, was born with a golden spoon just because his mom is the eldest but as you can see. His majesty chose to live like ordinary people because he never wanted a beef with your father. But the former Chairman still insisted that His Majesty Jerry will still and will always be the heir."

"Where is this conversation going?"

"Your father was mad with that decision so he told Young Master Jared to kidnap His Majesty's best friend but he failed to do it and aren't you curious why your father was the one who quickly disowned your brother? Because he doesn't want his name to get involved."

"W-what? How did you know all of it?"

"Every member of the Royal family knows it except you and young master Jared."

"So you mean, it wasn't really Jerry who kicked my brother out of the family but my Dad?!" Jayvee asked in disbelief. All these years, they really thought that it was Jerry's fault why Jared was thrown out of the royal family. But it turns out that it was his dad all along and that his parents hid it from them. Even Jared believed that it was Jerry's fault.

"Yes. And as we speak, he knows that I'm going to tell you everything and he's sorry for everything he did to you and to the brother." The lawyer continued with a small smile on his lips as he stood up. "I need to go and please, sign the papers and I will get it by tomorrow."

"Wait." Jayvee stopped the lawyer from leaving. "Can I see Rosie for the last time?"

"I'm sorry, Young Master."

"I will sign the documents but please, let me see her and talk to her. I will give her the signed paper if you will let me." Jayvee begged. The lawyer stared at him for a few seconds before releasing a deep sigh.

"I will ask Mrs. Park." He said before bowing and left the room.

"I'll be fine from here." Jerry said coldly to Rosie when they got inside their new house. He walked towards the stairs without glancing back at the woman and headed straight to one of the rooms and slammed the door.

Rosie heaved deeply and sighed. She slumped her shoulders and walked to the living room, sitting down on the sofa as her eyes wandered around the house. It was a gift from the former chairman and told them that this will be their house from now on and they need to live together even if they are not yet married.

She was so against by that decision but her parents agreed to it and they talked to her that she should stay with Jerry since the guy is still suffering from selective amnesia and it is a good idea that she will be with Jerry so he could easily retrieved his memory as long as Rosie is inside the house with him.

She scrunched up her nose and twitched her lips, landing into a cute pout. She decided to go home to Manoban's house to take some of her things and also to get his son and Jeremy since Jerry still hasn't seen the kids.

As she stood up, her phone rang and was confused to see an unknown number on her phone screen. She felt a bit scared, thinking that it might be Jared and another horrific scene started playing in her head as she answered the call with her trembling hand.

"H-hello?"

"Hi, is this Mrs. Park?"

"Y-yes, who is this?"

"Hi, I'm Mr. Seong-il, do you still remember me? The royal family's attorney."

Rosie let out a sigh of relief upon hearing him. "Yes, what can I do for you?"

"So regarding your divorce with Young Master Jayvee, he told me that he will sign the paper in one condition."

"What is it?" Rosie asks calmly through deep inside of her, she's hoping that Jayvee ain't pulling anything because the last thing she wants to happen is facing another problem wherein she has full on her plate.

"He wanted to see you for the last time and he promised that he will give you the documents once you show yourself."

"Okay. I'll visit him now." Rosie replied, silently thankful that it was not another problem. I mean, she's planning to see Jayvee as well.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I'll be picking you up in 10 minutes." The lawyer said before ending the call.

Rosie looked up to the door where Jerry confining himself and let out a sigh before walking upstairs and knocking carefully. "I will go out, do you want anything?" She asked, her ear attached to the door.

"No thanks, I'm fine." Jerry responded.

"Okay then, I'll be back later with the kids."

When Jerry heard the footsteps walking away, he sighed deeply and lay down on the bed, staring at the white ceiling. He still couldn't believe that Hayley is married with a daughter. But the fact that Liam is the member of the royal family in Thailand, he knew that they were in some kind of arranged marriage.

But the question running in his mind is why he didn't fight for his love when Hayley was matchmake with Liam? He's sure as hell that he will do anything to stop their wedding, but the fact that they still got married, so it means the complete memory Jerry 10 years ago agreed to let go of Hayley.

But why? What is the reason?

While he was staring at the ceiling, he suddenly remembers what Hayley told him before he passed out that day.

"Rosie is the woman I love the most and we are about to marry each other but I ditched her." Jerry mumbled to himself, as if he was trying to connect all the dots. "Grandpa said that it will be my second chance and Hayley said the same thing— wait." Jerry abruptly sat up, his hand flew to his chest. "Rosie is the woman I love the most.." He whispered while feeling his heart, waiting for any violent reaction while keeping saying those words. "Rosie is the woman I love the most." He whispered again but his heart kept its stable beats. "She's not, Hayley." Jerry smiled sadly. "It's still you." He said as if that Hayley was just in front of him.
