I knew what i wanted to say in some parts but having the story flow between those points has been challenging.

Chapter 39, Part 1
Rose POV
We finally arrived at the tarmac, where a private jet was waiting for us.
Christian, Lissa, Kady, Harley and I were in one car with Eddie driving. While Dimitri drove the other with Adrian, Scarlett, my mom and Abe.
Lissa and I were sitting next to the windows, while Kady sat between us.
I glanced over towards Lissa.
Lissa looked relieved when she saw the jet and it was understandable with everything that happened yesterday night.
I then looked back at the jet.
At first I found it welcoming, it was taking us home but then I remembered that everything would be different now. My whole world had changed yesterday and I now had to deal with the consequences of it.
Lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice Kady tugging at my shirt.
"Mommy it's time to get out of the car." she said sweetly.
Kady began to slide out of the car and I followed her movements.
Still a bit studded, I was somehow able to create a coherent sentence.
"Oh sorry angel, I was just distracted." I said softly as I finished getting out of the car.
"Are you okay mommy?" she asked with a bit of concern in her eyes as she held onto Harley.
I lowered myself down to meet her and hugged her.
"I'm fine angel, I just was thinking about going home." I said being partly honest.
She rose her hand to my cheek to comfort me.
"I'm happy about going home mommy because nothing bad ever happens at home." she said softly.
Her words tore me up inside, I wish I could take away the pain she suffered. I couldn't help feeling like this was my fault and that I failed miserable at being a mother.
I was fighting to hold back tears.
"I promise that nothing is ever going to hurt you like that again angel, I would die before that happens again." I said fiercely with love.
"Don't say that mommy, I don't want you to die. I still need you." she said on the verge of tears.
I hugged her tight and then looked her in the eyes.
"I need you more angel but I need you to know that everything I did and do, is to protect you." I said sternly.
Kady nodded while a tear escaped.
I wiped it off gentle.
"Let's get into the jet angel, people are probably already waiting for us." I whispered into her ear.
"Okay." she said softly as I rose.
I closed the door to the car and noticed that Dimitri was waiting by the stairs that led to the jet.
I slowly walked over towards him, while Kady dashed over towards him with Harley not too far behind. She jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly.
A small smile grew on my face.
I knew Dimitri made Kady so happy and that we would have to tell her soon that Dimitri was her real dad. I wasn't sure how Kady would react, she already accepted Dimitri as her dad but to know he was her real dad.. I just didn't know what to expect.
I sighed.
I finally reached Dimitri with Kady still in his arms as they stood next to the bottom of the stairs to the jet.
I simply smiled then reached down to pick up Harley and headed up the stairs knowing Dimitri wasn't too far behind.
As I got inside, I saw that all the seats were taken except the three in the back that were right behind Lissa and Adrian seats.
Great. This should be fun.
I made my way to the row with two seats, so I could scold Lissa and Adrian for putting me in this position.
I glared at Lissa and Adrian as I got closer to them.
They both put their hands up trying to act innocently.
"Both of you are going to get it as soon as we get home!" I said in a hush tone as I sensed Dimitri getting closer.
I took the aisle seat knowing that Kady loved looking out the window.
"Mommy you saved me the window seat!" she said with pure joy.
I giggled.
"I know it is your favorite spot angel." I said sweetly as I looked into her big eyes.
She moved toward her seat as Harley wagged her tail in anticipation. She settled herself in and then hugged Harley tightly as Harley licked her face. Kady's face was filled of pure joy.
Dimitri was finally next to me and gave me a friendly nod.
He was about to speak when a voice interrupted him from behind.
"Okay guys it's time to buckle up, the pilot said they're ready to go." said Eddie loudly from the front of the jet as he headed towards his seat.
Following Eddie's lead he headed to his seat while everyone else nodded and buckled up.
I closed my eyes and did some slow deep breaths.
Oh boy, here we go.
I was trying to keep myself calm, it was the best way to keep the ghost away and to keep them from driving me crazy while we were in the air.
We made our way down the runway and I felt the plane finally ascend into the air.
"This is going to a long ride." I whispered to myself.
Adrian POV
Out of the corner of my eye I could see Rose calming herself, preparing herself in case the ghosts got past her walls.
I was worried with everything she has been going through, that they might get the best of Rose.
Scarlett seemed to pick on my worry and squeeze my hand, I turned to look into her icy blue eyes and gave her a slight smile.
"I need to ask a favor." I whispered gently.
"Okay." she said in a confident whisper.
I was still studded on how she had grown to trust me, how we had grown to trust each other.
"I need to talk to Lissa about Rose but I don't want Rose to catch on. I need you to make it seem like you just want to talk to Christian for a while." I said gently.
"Okay, I can do that." she said with a gorgeous smile that made my heart skip a beat, that made me feel alive.
"Either way I needed to talk to Christian about some things." she said with a flirty wink.
I shook my head because I knew I had met my match.
"I almost forgot you need to discreetly tell Lissa to block Rose from being able to read her emotions and thoughts." I said hushly.
"I will, leave it to me love." she said as she gave me a passionate kiss.
"I'll be back, don't worry." she said with a sultry voice as she pulled away.
She slowly got up and walked over to Lissa.
I could see that Rose still had her eyes closed and was trying to concentrate.
Then I saw Lissa, she was elegantly making her way over to Scarlett's seat as Scarlett chatted up a storm with Christian. This way Rose nor Dimitri would be able to overhear my conversation with Lissa.
"Scarlett said you needed to talk to me about Rose." she said in a hush tone.
"Yes, have you blocked Rose from your head?" I said in a hush tone as well.
"Yes but I feel bad, I don't like lying to or hiding things from Rose. We were trying not to do that anymore." she said with a sad tone.
"I know Lissa but this is important." I said in a cautious voice.
P.S.
Part 2 will pick up in Adrian's point of view
