What a Fairytale

Chapter 4: Memories

A/N There is a small scene that may be triggering. I'll put on a note when it ends.

*** Rosemary***

"You're such a b***h Rosy, why did it have to be like this? Why couldn't you just love me and respect me like I asked?"

He grabs me by the arm and slaps me across the face " F*ck you John, f**k you!" I scream at him, hitting his chest to let me go. "Stop it Rosy, you don't eant Bella to hear us" he hisses under his breath putting his hand over my mouth to shut me up. After a few seconds of quiet, and making sure I won't scream or fight him, he cups my cheeks with his hands. Pulling me closer and putting his forehead against mine. "I'm sorry baby, I don't mean to get like this with you. I just hate when you disrespect me like that" he sighs, pulling away to look me in my eyes. He wipes away the tears with his thumbs before pulling me back in for a soft sweet kiss. There's the man I married. He sweeps me off my feet and takes me to the bathroom to run us a bath

After our bath, he carries me to the bed and places me under the covers. kissing me goodnight before climbing in next to me, pulling me close to his chest.

A/N ending of scene

It feels like just yesterday that the divorce is finalized. All those years, 6 hole years of being married to him. I'm finally free, a year of being free. I have full custody of Bella, him being in prison is a bit hard on her. Never being able to see her father. I would never deny her if visiting him, but she never asked. Although she never asks about him, I know it's hard nit having a father figure around.

"Good Morning mama" she says after running in and jumping on my bed, ready for our morning cuddles " Morning baby, how did you sleep?" I ask pulling her closer to me. "GREATTTT! And you mama?" she looks up at me giving me a big bear hug. "Great" I smile at her " Let's get up and get ready, what do you say?" she jumps up and runs out, not long after she comes running back in with her clothing choices "Pink or purple mama?" she smiles sweetly at me. I make a face like I'm thinking really hard about it. "Let's go with purple today" I smile at her, pointing to the purple dress and tight. I go to the closet and take out a grey pencil skirt that flares out at the knees and a white button up blouse with matching black heels, and a black dress that hugs my curves perfectly with red heels. "Which one baby" she looks at ny choices for the day and picks the black dress with red heels. She runs into the closet and comes back out a few seconds later with a matching blazer for the dress. "One day Bells, you'll be an amazing fashion designer" I say smiling at her. She has always wanted to be a fashion designer, and I have to say, the girl has got some talent for her age.

After we've had our breakfast and I've dropped her off at school I head for work. Entering the hotel I greet all the employees on my way up. "Hey Matt, how's it going today?" I ask our receptionist. He's been with us for a few years now, and I think it's due time for him to be promoted to floor manager. "Heyyy Rose bun, it's great. Business picked up with a total of 50% since you got that new partner. And it's only been a day" He says with a smile reaching his eyes. When he smiles you can't help but just smile too. "That's great Matty. Hey, would you come up to my office later today? I wanna talk to you about something" He looks at me a bit suspicious before answering "Yeah sure, am i in trouble?" I give him a small laugh " No, not at all. See you later" I wink at him and walk off, the man sweating already.

I hear a knock at my door and look up.

"Hey Mr Valentino, you wanted to talk to me?" Zack asks. "Yeah take a seat"

He sits down and gesture for me to continue. "So Matthew, from reception needs a raise and a promotion, I want to promote him to floor manager"
