Hello. My name is Rosemary LeVeaux and I am here to share my story with you. Of course you know that I broke up my engagement with Jack, and then tried to rekindle our relationship in Coal Valley. Well…that didn't work so well, because I soon left Coal Valley. Jack and Elizabeth ended up getting engaged, married, had Lillian, and then before I arrived back, announced they were going to have another addition to the family. But…what happened to me? In these pages, I have written what happened to me, and dialogue that I can recall.
It all started after I left Coal Valley, I was quite angry with Jack for not letting me back into my life, but I figured it was for the best. I went back to New York, and signed up to play a part in a play, and of course I got the leading role. My name was put up in lights, and it felt good to once again be acting. In only a couple of days being back in New York, I had guys flocking around me, trying to steal my heart, but one in particular caught my eye, his name was David and we didn't talk much, until I agreed to have dinner with him.
David took me to a quaint little restaurant, and we both ordered chili, but let me tell you, it is much better than Coal Valley's chili, sorry Ted. We got to talking, and I found out David was a big man in the business industry, not as big as Mr. Thatcher, but he had quite a bit of money.
"I'll happily donate money for your plays, if you do me a favor, Rosemary."
"What kind of a favor?" I raised my eyebrow, I was interested now.
"At the parties I go to, there are good lookin' girls going around with the other guys, if you'll be my gal, I'll happily give you any money you need."
I paused for a moment. What would happen if I agreed? As long as I accept his offer to be his girl, he was going to give me money for the plays. We had only known each other for about a week, but I agreed anyways, because the money would help the play production be bigger and better than ever.
I went home to my apartment, and thought about it. Was that a good decision I made? Or was this going to be a decision I was going to regret? It turns out, as you know, it is a decision I regret after a few years.
I started going to the parties, and we had a good time, and we slowly fell in love. I felt like he was the one for me, the more I spent time with him. We had our first kiss after a quiet dinner, and I felt like I had found my prince in life, he felt more special than Jack, but I regret thinking he was more special later in life.
A few months passed by, and I was in several more plays, and I continued getting support from David for the plays. We went to more parties, and I have to admit at one of them, we had a tad too much to drink. The next morning, we woke up next to each other, we don't know how it happened, our minds were fogged, but we trusted each other. We didn't mean to take our relationship up so many levels so quickly…
A couple months later, I had to break to him the news about Jonathan, but of course, I didn't know at the time it would be a boy or a girl.
"Dave, we need to talk…"
"About what? Do the plays need more money?"
"No, I have a little secret."
"And the secret is…?"
"We're becoming parents." I said as quickly as I could. He looked at me, before he finally responded.
"Really? Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am sure. It says so here." I showed him the papers and we shared a hug.
For the next two weeks, he boasted about it to his friends, but then we both realized something, we weren't engaged or married.
"What will my mother think about this? I mean, we aren't even engaged."
"Well, on one of these perfect evenings, I'll propose, and I'll be able to support you even more than I am now."
I smiled at the idea, but…would he really mean his devotion to me as time goes on?
A few nights later, at our favorite restaurant, he proposed, and we celebrated with a little wine, I didn't want much because of the baby inside, so I just had one glass. He sent a telegram to my mother, saying we were getting married, and she seemed thrilled for me. And everyone at the play seemed pleased when I flashed my engagement ring. It was quite a gem, and I secretly couldn't wait for the wedding ring.
Some time passed, and we had a private wedding, he provided the money for my dress, the shoes, the hair stylist, even the photographer.
"I do." He looked into my eyes. But little did I know, that those vows for loving and being a loyal husband, to cherish and to care for in sickness and in health, and to be faithful to only one, me…were all promises that were not kept, they were lies in disguise…

Author's Note: Hello Hearties, I know Rosemary isn't the most liked character in the show, but I felt bad for her in my fanfic "The Thornton Family", and changed her into a nice girl. In a few chapters, I will have the whole story told. I appreciate any reviews I will get. Thank you. :)
