Chapter 140

“I got her dad.” Nate nodded and let go of my hand. He looked very worried. They were all worried about me.

“Breath, Angel,” Blake whispered into my ear. His embrace had already started to calm me down.

I took a deep breath in and nodded, letting Blake guide my way.

Soon we were standing next to the coffins sitting on straps ready to be lowered into the graves.

A sad ambiance loomed as we all stood around the graves. Theresa’s sobering as well as hushed whispers gently caressed my ears. I blocked out everyone and stared at the two coffins before me.

It was time to say goodbye, and I couldn’t hold back my tears anymore. Treacherous tears slide down my cheeks, and before I knew it, I was sobbing.

Ma was a horrible mother. She lied to me, she cursed at me, she tortured me, she hated me, and she abandoned me. My heart was filled with pain and hatred for her. Nevertheless, she was my mother. She did care for me in her own ways. The best thing she did for me was sending me to Mariners Bay. If it weren’t. for that decision, I wouldn’t have met Taylor and Rocky. I wouldn’t have met Blake.

The priest said his final words, and the coffin lowering device groaned, slowing lowering the coffins into the graves.

Blake’s arms around me tightened, and Theresa’s sobs got louder. I glanced over to her. Rocky was holding his mother tightly. Rogue tears slid down Rocky’s cheek. He quickly wiped them away, and he clenched his jaws. He had a dark pair of sunglasses on to hide the pain his eyes shone.

One of the church helpers walked around handing out roses for people to throw onto the coffins before saying their last goodbyes. Once the lowering device stopped, people slowly walked over to the grave and paid their final respects.

From the corner of my foggy, wet eyes, I noticed the Callum family walking towards me.

“We are very sorry for your loss, Rosy.” Mrs. Callum looked down at her fingers.

“Let us know if there’s anything we can do for you” Mr. Callum rubbed his wife’s arm. He, too, tried to avoid eye contact.

“Now you want to help me? Now you care? Why? Because I’m suddenly prominent enough in society for you to acknowledge you know me? Knowing Blake Cooper’s fiancé must earn you so many brownie points, huh?” I was angry. I hadn’t forgotten what they had done and today wasn’t the day to mess with me.

“Rosy…..” Mr. Callum began before Blake put his hand up to stop him.

“Mr. Callum, thank you very much for coming today. We appreciate you being part of our hard times. However, please know I say this in the most respectful way possible, I think it’s time your family and you leave. It’s a painful day for my fiancé, and your son being here is just adding to her suffering.”

Mr. Callum cleared his throat and nodded before motioning for his wife in the direction of the carpark. Chris gave me a tight smile before following his parents. Vince, on the other hand, stood rooted to his spot with a smirk on his face.

Come on, Vince. Not today. Please. Give Rosy a break today.” Blake groaned.

“Fine. Although I thought she’d like to hear what I have to say,” Vince snickered.

“Spit it out, asshole. What do you have to say that’s so important?” I just wanted him gone.

“I know what happened to your mother and her boyfriend. That important enough for you?” Vince adjusted his jacket and looked between Blake and me.

I felt the air leave my lungs and dry out my chest.

“What?!” Growled Blake. He took a step towards Vince.

“You don’t scare me, dipshit. So don’t ever try to intimate me. I have information you need, and you know what I want. Once you’ve dealt with all this, come find me, and we can talk.” Vince stuffed his hands into his pockets and rolled his eyes.
