A. N: This whole chapter is about Rose life before she returns to her life as Cordelia
----------
"Rose Hadith, 38 years. Death *sniff*: 2:03 PM, Monday 28th February 2038.*sniff* Born : Sunday 27th February 2000. Ocupation : NewYork. Cause of death : Lung cancer in terminal stage..."
The doctor in his early thirties fall into his knees and stared to whimper pityfully.
He had been Rose's loyal fan since her debut at 14 years old as an American actress even though she's half-Japeness and bear her mother's surname.
She had been very talented and skilliful she quickly became the world's hot topic in a mere 3 years because of her stunningly beautiful looks and multi-talents but she still kept her background hidden until rumors of her having a fianical backer spread because of her massive success.
She was Japan's forgein minister, Nakamura Takeshi's and Twilight's empire Ceo, Lilith's Hadith only daughter.
She was someone who's both adorable and elegant so became unbealivably popular between her fans and even netiziens, but unfortunally retired to become a full-time mother and wife at 26.
Because of that he worked hard to join her husband's hospital to be able to take glimpces of Rose.
But she actually died so early!
Rose's pov~
20 years ago
"Eh? There actually an anime for this otome game!?"
I was looking at my conputer in my pink-ish gold room while holding the giantic bear I got as a birthday gift from one of my cu~te fans.
'Diabolic lovers' I packed that game with me from Akihibara with all it editions on a whim after being dragged there by my otaku little brother, Luke.
I can't believe that how he treat his sister who F.I.N.A.L.L.Y got a vacation from her job and got all the way from Egypt to Japan to see him and older brother!
Our parent got divorced not because of some bloody drama but because my easy-going american mother straight-fowardly saying : "I don't feel any passion between us anymore, I take my daughter with me and you got my sons, so let's divorce!"
Just reccaling this memory bring a sour taste to us sibiling. Oh! Also to father.
'She's so blunt' But thank to the system of skipping grades in America I was able to graduated at 13 so no worries~.
Anyway the game seems really popular enough that it had many fanfictions that it's overwhelming.
I was just wondering should I play first or watch the anime?
My lazy habits were kicking again as I decided to watch first.
First episode:
The heroine seems to be the classical air head, o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓
Putting such aside _
Why does my heart hurt so much?[・_・?]
Second episode:
I feel like guilt is eating me up for some reason.〒▽〒
Foward to the last episode of season 2
"Wah!" I stared to bawl after finishing the anime and find my tears falling unknowly.
Why? I feel an uncontorable sense of shame and guilt especially when flashbacks of the triplets appear and Cordelia take control of Yui's body.
I became determined to know why that I finished the whole game's versions limited or normal in a matter of a month.
Cordelia's reasons for becoming such a slut really made me wants to tear Karlheinz apart.
'Is all his freacking fault!'
Obsession with human's love!!!? The fudge is that!(*'д'*)
You fucking treat your sons and wives as test subjects!!!!!!!!!ヽ('Д')ﾉ
I know etiquette as a lady of both circles (entertainment + high-class) but I couldn't resist cursing out loud with all my might.
My chest heaved up and down as I trembled all over with rage over-taking me.
Even Cordelia, Beatrix and Christa deserves a hug for having such a scumbag as a beloved husband!
"THE FUCK IS EVE AND ADAM'S PROJECT!" I roared.
My room was sound proof ...But ... Perhaps because my voice was too loud, my sweet Luke opened the door in a hurry.
"What happened? Nee-sa..." Luke was about to ask much more questions worriedly, but halted when he noticed the screen with the words "Diabolik Lovers : Dark Fate" A look of understanding flashed in his face.
"Nee-san, I warned you about how much I heard from my follow otakus talking about this game begin blood-bowling." Luke said with a heavy sigh "So please sit down and chill up, kay?" He added with a cute smile.
If it was any other time as a brocon I would have calm down and hug Luke while saying sorry but not now.
"... going to sue" a barely edible murmer escaped my pink lips.
"Hah?"
"I SAID : I'm going to sue Idea Factory(the devolepers of Diabolik lovers)!" I said with fire burning in my blue eyes.
Luke stared to freak out since he know his sister is serious because she doesn't know joking let alone liking it.
Last year her agent signed her up in a pranking show (of course without telling her) and after that she fired the agent and sued her later on with the whole show's staff then she end up milking all the earned money as 'mental compesation' with a scary group of proffesional lawers because they crossed her bottom line of :
'I do my thing, so do your thingy without bothering me if you were not a friend. If not then you're a foe. I can ignore you if you do petty tricks but once you piss me for real then you should be prepared~'
But now she want to sue a company because she got angry at their game?
How come he never got to know his older sister was that ... that ... unreasonable!
They spoiled her too much!
In fact _ Rose know that she was being childish but she still won't stop!
Whener she was in the Samaki's and Tsukinami's routes she would get mad with anger like all those were her family.
Even the Mukamis speacifilly Kou (her bias) made her enraged!
What kind of witchcraft did they put an me? Ah!
Hmm~ I feel dizzy for some reasons.
A_re~ Why are they 3 Lukes in front of me?
How come I never know about us having twin brothers?
And why are all of them turning pale?
Suddenly... Why's earth turning around?
I blacked out.
I fallen into the soft embrace of my brother as he dialed his phone to call ambulance in a fit of panic.
In the hospital
"Get out from here!" Rose chased out all the nurses from her hospital's room and didn't allow anyone there not even her brothers.
QAQ 'I can't believe that I was Cordelia between all people!'
"No..." I said with quivering lips.
"I won't accept it!"
I cried myself to sleep for 3 days and nights straight and only taken a bite when I need it.
'Is time to stop my williful temper.' I though laying on the bed and finally calming down.
"I don't remember having that over-bearingness before. Was it perpahs a side-effect of the return of 'Cordelia's' memories?"
During the visit-strike I couldn't help but wonder ... not once, not twice, nor thirce
Am 'I' still myself ?
"Darling!" A figure suddenly reach to hug me (crush me between it breasts)
Her chest is huge! I... I cannot bre-eath...
"Mom ..." I called out mom in hope that she'll notice that she's about to murder her biogical daughter.
A man picked up mother from her collar and put her aside.
"Cough...cough" I throw a fit of coughs.
Finally some oxigen.
'Why does people says that every man's dream is to be crushed between a women's breast? Just take my place then!'
'I though that I would die!' I'm grateful for Nii-sama saving my life at this moment from the most embarrassing death in super star's history!
As soon as I stabilized my breathing I looked up to see Nii-sama smiling while having unsmilling eyes.
'My poor cheeks' Although my older brother is a siscon and the farce I caused won't bother him and would even gladly to clean after his sister's mess but he would be certainly mad at me for allowing myself to faint!
Nii-sama approached the trembling me then pinched my cheeks H.A.R.D.
"Ny-ya-sain. I-it hur-rg! (Nii-sama. It hurts!)" I barely managed to say to my angry Nii-sama
"Eh~ It hurts? This is nothing compared to the pain you caused to your family's hearts in the past days, though. Face your sins properly!"
An air of pressure leacked from Nii-sama's aura.
3rd person's pov
'Kuh! I cannot refute.' Rose wasn't that thick-skinned after all even though Cordelia was.
But then Rose remembered something important.
"Say, mom?" She touched her red cheeks.
"What's it, darling?" Lilith asked with a wide smile that was definitly caused by her amusement from the little episode just now.
"In grandfather's blood line, you said before that it was not uncommen getting back past live's memories, right?" Rose blutered out.
Lilith visibly froze for a moment before realization hit her and then she did the unexcepted_ she laughed hard while holding her stomach in an unlady-like manner.
Rose feelt her ears and cheeks heating up at her mother's laughter of embarrasment
"So all this trouble was because of simply that?" Lilith said while wiping the tears that gathered up in the corner of her green eyes with her right hand while her other hand was still holding her stomach.
Facing her brother's teasing gaze and her mother's question, Rose became even more shy as the red color reached her neck as she covered her face from shame.
'Why's I'm always making a foul out of myself in front of my family and close aqcaintances? Even though I have quite high IQ but I'm much more concerned about my EQ ! That why are you forever an anti-social celebrity, Rose Hadith!'
Because of her cute demenaor there had been no shortage of people teasing Rose and spoiling her that why she grew up unable to approach those who doesn't present intentions into getting knowing her and even so Rose had an ability to probe people's hidden agenda or a crystal of their true nature at a short time, almost like a sixth sense. Which is why she had been able to avoid troubles in the messed-up and down entrainement cirle.
Her mother's words made her feel like she made a tree out of a seed*.(an idiom about making a big deal out of a small matter.)
"Oh! Dear~ So that it! You made us freack out for nothing! You're bad girl~" Lilith sighed as she sitted in Rose's bed.
"Is true. There are many mysteries regarding your grandfather's blood line that got uncovered. Even though I myself never got my past life's memories but my little sister, your aunt did."
"The reason?"
"Provocation." Lilith sayed her words clearly not sluttering, her tone neither slow nor fast.
"A high-level of provaction to the very soul."
"How?"
"You see ... This world authors may sometimes write some unsual scripts. A certain part of them may be 'thinked' about because of some world's consciousness sending stories of the creatures that reside there."
"Thus some stories, games, legends, etc... may sometimes be about a truly exciting another world and our bloodline was related to such."
'Then my sons ... truly suffered as such!' Rose's heart couldn't but bleed at those horrible thoughts.
She rather believe is all but a dream than reality!
But she couldn't allow herself to cry. She didn't gain the right to.
"I knew that I wouldn't have been a good mother." Rose whispered to herself.
'The triplets deserved an ever better mother than I ever was' Rose though biterly while hanging her head in deep shame.
5 years later~
"I love you! My Rose! I love you from your petals to your throns." Eliot confessed passionaly to me while kneeling down on one knee holding a boucket of fresh blue roses to represent to me.
If it was another time I would have throw these flowers he had taken care of tenderly, in trash coldly, right in front of his eyes for better effect.
But no matter how clear my rejection was for the last 2 years, the man below me would probably never give up unless I truly hate him.
The handsome brunette in front of me is Eliot Relish, 19 years old. A well-know genius doctor.
I met him during a speech I gave to the graduated college students of an elite's college.
it was just a brief moment for me but it meant the world for him.
'I can't let my past life weigh me down anymore and just move on.'
With this descion in mind I took the boucket from Eliot's hands and smelled it.
It's fragant and refreshing, it calm my nerves.
Most likely not really excepting for me to take the bouquet Eliot froze visibly before pinching his waist until he hissed, still dumbfounded.
Honestly, I even though that he may be an M to still chase after my skirt after all what I put him though.
I couldn't help but feel slightly guilty at my doings against him.
Thankfully he didn't become a stalker.
A refreshing smile bloomed in Eliot's face that made my heart throb.
To say that I wasn't moved by his persistent but gentle gestures would be quite of a lie.
'Karlheinz only treated me that way when he needed my hand..."
The other men only desired my body and the power thay would be given to them if they marry me.
Calling me 'whore' and 'slut'. Even though I knew it's the truth, it still hurt. You know?
While Richter was a hyprotic and a bit of psychopath in his love, I don't even know whether he was just using me to boast his ego or for power or simply to show off in front of me.
Guess, I never had luck with romance in my first life, though I deserve it.
But ...Honestly
This new life was not bad itself.
God treated me pretty well in this lifetime.
Too well that it feels like a dream.
The magical thing, it's so real and brilliant to let go.
God is no longer playing jokes at me.
"Is that a yes?" Eliot asked bluntly yet shyly, his eyes so red that I smirked inwardly.
Silence followed as Eliot stared to get tense.
I already got enough from being a golden bachlorette.
"Pfft! Yes, it's~" I couldn't help but say teasingly.
I let out the hold-out laughter as my chuckling spreaded into Eliot's ears like a gentle melody.
Just as I was about to set in the exit I heard Eliot's voice : HELL YA!
I smiled, amused by his sillyness.
What I didn't know that when I turned around and decided to celebrate happily, the silent crowd in the awards ceremony went into an inproar and so what happened became the internet in the whole world when not even 6 hours passed.
Topics such as:
#'Yukihime' got a fiancee?# #The prince of Rishfort family was finally able on melting the snow princess's heart!#
#The most awaited news : Superstar Rose got into an relationship with the talented doctor Eliot, the second young master of Dream moon's corp!#
#Shocking : The rose of the entrainment circle left singlehood behind. #Which male god swift Rose off her feet???#
Made it into headlines and successfully snached the top 20 hot search's positions!
I excepted to cause a distrubance but it seems that I understimated my influence yet again.
As soon as I woke up, my shoulders were gripped by my grown-up little brother and was shocked back and forth without even having the chance to registre what's happening.
2 years later:
"Now I declare husband and wife! May the groom kiss the bride."
Our wedding was a majestic.
Personally both I and Eliot weren't such show-off but it's in once in a lifetime to us.
We barely managed to empty our schedule after working like horses for over six months.
I even started to think about quitting my job and becoming a full-time housewife, is just that I feels sorry for my fans that I didn't yet, when I'm already putting up with it for years.
Once I have my own child I'll leave all the headache behind.
Speaking of children my current body is still virgin all because of my stubborn husband's words to leave it until the wedding's night. Eli! I never know you were that pure-hearted... ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌
Ehm! Anyway it was hard holding back pouncing into Eliot which is why we got married ahead of time by one year. Eli didn't object and was even pleasantly suprised.
I couldn't believe that I was able to get over Karlheins but I'm still happy as I'm.
If I was able to let go earlier would Ayato, Laito and Kanato be happier? Who knows.
Would Beatrix not over-pressured Shut and not neglected Reiji? Most likely.
I seriously wonder if I had a pit in my brain...
_That if I even had brain cells in the first place!
Leaving all talk behind why I'm feeling so nervous for the first night? Cordelia! My dear, you used to play with men not them playing with you!
My comment from the wedding night? A behemoth.
Is that size even humanly possible.
That was at least 25 centimeters! Wasn't 15 centimeters already a very good side for human-kin's men!?
I'm not complaining though. My first time wasn't all that hard.
Eliot seemed to hold back too much before I managed to get used to his size. I also enjoyed it even though he let the beast inside him out at some point.
Even when I woke up the next morning I didn't feel sticky or any ache just numbness. I would have thought that I just got my first wet dream in this lifetime if not for the red spots on the blanket and the hickeys on my body. Eliot seemed to massage me and bathed me last night. Which I'm very grateful for.
Just as I'm fawning my self with a blush, a warm breath passed by my ear.
"Fuah!" It seems like behind my left ear is a weak spot.
"Finally woke up?" Eliot said while embracing me from behind.
Eliot's POV
I got out from the bath to see the love of my life fawning herself.
I sneaked out from behind to suprise her.
I blew over her ear because I discovered it's her weak spot when I lick its yesterday.
"Fuah" En~ She let out another cute moan.
But is she truly not aware that if she keep it up I may just eat her up?
...Should I?
I embraced Rose while pondering about it.
Why I'm holding back to began with it! She's already my wife.
I pushed Rose to the bed.
She let out a confused "Eh?" but I ultimately ignore it. Before she woke up I didn't want to take advantage of a sleeping person so I took a cold bath to cool myself down.
Now she's awake, time to put the gentleman's attitude behind.
"Eli! What are you doing? Let go!"
"Why?" I asked.
"Hah?"
"Why should I let go?"
"'Why you say. You just took a shower... Wait! Stop!" She said while I was undressing her.
She tried to kick me away but I caught her naughty feet and pulled her and stared to kiss Rose's lap, thighs all the way until I was about to reach her secret cave. Yes, I didn't put panties on her.
Seeing her ceasing moaning and her dumbfounded face it seems like she didn't notice until now.
Of course I know how to put it but I didn't because it would give me better access to enter her.
Rose stopped her struggling for some reason.
I was about to ask her worried that she's still hurt somewhere.
"Go ahead."
'Hah?'
"I would feel bad for your little brother if we left just like that." She said, trying to hid her blush, averting her eyes as she pointed at my boner.
'...What's wrong with that cute creature?'
My comment from the honeymoon? Heavenly.
In addition to not holding back my desires anymore, we had fun.
From sky-jumping, skating, stars watching...
We visited quite a number of countries and never stilled in one place for less nor more than 3 days.
Unfortunately, job!
Black lines appeared on my face as I couldn't cuddle my wife hourly from now on.
... This was the first time I resented my profession as a surgeon.
Fu fu~ Maybe I should just resign anyways I got too much money that I wouldn't be able to burn even after living in luxury with my descendants.
But just as I processed to hand over my resignation letter. It got taken as a joke.
Later when I showed how dead-serious I'm _ I got begged. Fun~ but not matter how much these geezers want it, I'm already fed up from seeing blood and organs every day in the emergency temperament. I rather become a stay-in husband and cheer on my wife.
Unexpectedly, these bastards dared to reach out to Rose in a desperate gesture to stop me.
They managed to convince her somehow as she acted cute and spoiled the whole day that I finally softened.
(If I can get a naked apron and maid service then I'm willing to even put in a 100 hundred years worth of hard work!)
Thankfully although Rose betrayed she also told me that I can quit before I reach my 40s.
Months passed by and it's Rose's 26th birthday since it was her first birthday from we when get married we decided to celebrate only between us.
After my wife took 2 bites of her favorite chocolate cake, she seemed uncomfortable for some reason that I immediately noticeded.
When I was about to ask her about what's wrong she suddenly stood up and rushed to the bathroom while covering her mouth.
She throwed up and I immediately recalled her recently unbalanced mood lately.
As a possibility flashed in my mind I got excited but tried to not get my hopes high.
When I took an exam to my semen before marriage it seemed like the rate of impregnating on my side is lower than that of an average man while Rose had a high possibility of getting pregnant and could even give birth to over 5 kids without it being much of a burden to her body.
I took my wife to my hospital the next day and did a text. After all those cheap text from pharmacy aren't that reliable.
As I was taking the test because I don't want anyone to see my wife's charming body it turn out as positive.
Setting aside the excitement of being a to-be father, a small part of me wondered if my wife's love would be divided.
In the road to chase after Rose. I not only courted her but also needed to face torment from her sis-con brothers.
It was nothing when I was merely a suitor but once I became her boyfriend....
The torture has being.
And since Rose herself is a hard-core brocon, my difficulties could be easily imagined.
"Darling, are you okay?" Rose waved in front of my face then I snapped from my trance.
"Okay, okay!" She didn't seem convinced at all.
"The look you had just now... It can't be...?" Haha! I really can't escape her eyes.
Her distressed look made me glad that I didn't give up~(￣▽￣)~*
Back then Rose would only be slightly guilty but the rest would be pure amusement!
But now it even managed to make her sorry enough to get her eyes watery.
It seemed like I unconsciously let out a sigh of relief so Rose holder my hand as we walked to the car.
"Don't be sad or I would feel the same." She pouted. I like how she act spoiled because when she's too independent I would get scared. Scared that she would fly away once she gets the chance.
Nonetheless I know if was her way of trying to cheer my up.
I patted her head before opening the door of the car for her.
I wasn't the one driving but the driver since I wanted to fully enjoy Rose's lap pillow.
Later Rose left her career as an actress, singer, idol and model behind because she wanted to focus on me and our upcoming baby.
I'm happy that she wanted to give our child a warm family without being on the spot light by being an idol's son. Although I'm worried about her crazy and obsessed fan's reactions but I still choose silence.
My worries became true, as a fangirl rushed to stab Rose with a knife. Tch! These useless bodyguards. Did we bring them for decorations!? I end up receiving the blow in Rose's stead. My body moved on it's own when I saw my wife being in danger.
I seriously never though that I would become that kind of affectionate man to a women I fallen for at first sigh when she was just helping me get my glasses.
When I woke up what I received wasn't gratitude but a round up scolding from an pissed off Rose. In the end she couldn't handle it and finally burst into tears and blutered out her fear of losing me.
She mumbled along with it "Human are so fragile after all..." while choking between her sobs.
... My dear wife aren't you also a human yourself?
Despite wanting to ask, the atmosphere and mood weren't suitable for it, I wasn't that dense so I could only shallow back my words.
8 months later:
"Ah! It hurts." My wife's screamed as the nurse encouraged her.
The head of the baby finally became visible as the nurse's shouts became louder.
Rose was gripping my hand, nails digging into flesh for dear life.
"Ah!" "Uwah! Wa, wa!" Soon the baby's screams filled the room as Rose collasped into my arms, exhausted but relieved. We were both heavily sweating.
"Congratulations, Mrs. Relish and Mr. Relish! Is a heathly baby boy!" A nurse holding our son said cheerfully.
I was about to reach him out with trembling hands but Rose beat me at that as she screeched her arms in a fast and urgent manner albeit weakly.
"So cute..." ...Wife, do you perhaps have face-blindness?
I know is a cruel thing to say as the father of the newborn.
But...
The baby was like a hairless monkey covered in blood, where's it cute?
Is Rose by any chance the kind of mother that think her children are forever the best?
My thoughts stopped.
A gentle aura sweeped out of Rose, a motherly halo covered her up as she gazed at the child in her arms.
Clearly she was covered in sweat and visibly exhausted but she gave away a serene beauty that makes one unable to look away.
But soon she started crying. Others may assume that they were tears of joy but I know my wife well and noticeded almost immediately that they weren't purely so.
They were entangled with bitter regret.
Later on I got to know the mysteries surrounding Rose's maternal family after I finally got accepted by her mother. Although mother-in-law's attitude toward me was friendly from the start but I could tell that she was unwilling to give up her beloved daughter to an outsider.
I almost died from jealousy and hatred once I know that Rose had an husband in her past life but still treated her so unfairly.
...Disgusting. Men like that are the worst of the worthlessth scums. 'Saving' the demon race is no excuse for his excessive behavior.
In the end my wife received the most hate despite him being the root of the problem, right? I admit she acted disdainfully through and through.
4 years later
"Mommy!" My son, Alex jumped from my arms then ran towards his mother's embrace.
"You shouldn't run that fast or you would fall off." She reprimanded Alex but her tone was obviously spoiling.
"Yes, Mommy!" Alexander said meekly and hurried himself in Rose's bossom.
She was clearly 30 but looked around 20.
She loved our son and daughter Sara, to death that I can't help but childishly get jealous most of time.
8 years later:
She's a liar.
A big liar.
The biggest liar! Didn't you promise that you wouldn't let go of my hand until our hair turn white and our faces get wrinkly!
In my beloved wife's funnel I didn't cry as I was still in a state of shock.
I wasn't the only one my brothers-in-law and son where also like me.
We were in state of daze that we only manage to get out of after many weeks.
My older brother-in-law, an almighty CEO, got desperation and end up jumping from the mental hospital's roof during one of his hallucinations.
My second brother-in-law never smiled ever again and always had his temper flaring up at any chance eventually getting divorced, he had buried himself in work as a hacker working for the government.
My son, a young 12 years old. Smiled and pretended that he was alright and moved on while dying on the inside.
My daughter, a small child that had yet to reach puberty. Became a shut-in and completed her studies via home after we moved some strings.
My parents-in-law were already retired and were spending their days peacefully while cultivating plants and other relaxing activities to try get over the lose of their only daughter and eldest son in one go. They seemed to get older overnight.
And I like my son tried to be strong but I was actually very weak and didn't listen to my older brother's and parent's pleading of getting a second marriage.
We all got hit hard.
I stayed as a surgeon until the very end of my life, in a rootless hope of wishing that Rose would stop me from over-working myself.
Is quite mysterious but during my death I feel like my soul is going to find hers very, very soon.
