Chapter 25

Emily's POV

"Come here, I want to show you something." Sebastian told me as he took my hand and led me out of the room. We walked outdoor, to the very back of the palace, where my eyes fell upon a luxury swimming pool, surrounded by different roses with different colors. Some of the petals floated around in the pool of water and it looked like a spa-rose-bath was awaiting.

"This was my mom's favorite place in this palace. She use to come here to think or just to get away from everything." He explained.

"It's beautiful." I replied and it really was.

"She designed it herself and she planted the roses. She loved roses." His eyes twinkled as he spoke. He must really miss his mom. I can't imagine what I'll do without my mother, without being able to call her on the phone to hear her voice and her cheerfulness.

"She's in a better place." I said to comfort him.

"Yeah. I do believe so."
