Forbidden Heat R18

Chapter 261 Spotlight



“I’m sure they’ll enjoy it. I don’t know why you’re so worried and stressed out about this,” Zak spoke to me through the phone. He sounded so amused about all this, but I felt anxious and uncertain.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I don’t know. It’ll be their first time so…” I replied hesitantly.

“It’ll be fine. I’ll be there to help you if anything happens but honestly, nothing will happen, Natalia. You’re just over thinking things…” Zak assured me calmly.

I could picture his overly confident face as he said those words. After the matter with his mother had settled down, Zak did what was the most responsible thing to do which was to support Lucien fix the family business together. It was amazing to look back and see how much those two have achieved together. The company was set on the right course and was able to maintain its leadership position in the industry.

As expected, Lucien was elected to be the next Elder after the scandal involving Francesca’s crimes were exposed to the public. Since Lucien did not have any children apart from me, he did not have an heir to take over. Naturally, that was where Zak came in as sort of a hero who exposed his mother’s crimes. Now all the attention and pressure are on Zak to take over after Lucien.

I was sure that this wasn’t what Zak completely wanted but he was satisfied enough with it to play along…at least for now. The best thing was that Zak could focus on his career in film and fashion more than before and he had many accomplishments over the years to show for it.

“Ok. I trust you so…we’ll be seeing you later then,” I said with defeat.

Zak was right. I can’t keep putting this off forever. I took a deep breath to strengthen my resolve.

“Thank you…” I said politely as a bodyguard in a black suit opened the door to the limousine and offered a hand to help me out of the car.

For this special occasion, I had chosen a bright red fully sequined long dress with a V-neck and a thigh-high slit as my outfit with matching ruby and diamond earrings and choker. The makeup artist obviously chose a ruby red shade of lipstick for me to match with the outfit. I had to say I looked fiercely sexy.

Edward commented that he hated the look when I sent him a selfie of myself before he added that he hated it because he couldn’t be here with me. I sent him a selfie of me blowing him a kiss as I wished him luck with his work.

Usually, one of my biggest worries at these red-carpet events would be tripping over my own high heels and falling on my face. However, this time, my biggest worries were these little angels.

After successfully, getting out of the car, I bent down towards the door and helped out the pair of twins. Devon was dressed in a smart suit for kids and Roseline in a pink puffy dress. They looked like real-life angels walking this planet. Next, came Ryder who could get out and help himself. Thank goodness for that. I was so proud of my little man.

The camera flashes were blinding as countless cameramen surrounded us to take photos of the children and me. I smiled brightly and proudly as I held the hands of the twins and Ryder stood next to my side for a group photo.

Yes, after years, Natalia the famous Gold Diggers has decided to make a public appearance on the red-carpet with her army of children. I smiled confidently, plastering my most perfect smile on my lips as I looked directly into the cameras. I gave them all enough time to capture the photos they had longed for.

After years of living in partial hiding from the media in an attempt to keep the lives of my children as private as possible, I have decided that the children were old enough to embrace another part of their lives. Although my life has changed as I focused on my career and was now very well removed from the Rosenhall main family, thanks to Edward, the children must learn to embrace that fact that they are still Rosenhalls.

We didn’t do anything wrong, I repeated to myself. Therefore, we didn’t need to live in hiding or in fear. One day, my children will find out how to take advantage of their social standing. It was difficult being a Rosenhall and I hoped that my children could live as Rosenhalls in name only now that our family was pretty much disconnected from the main family branch.

With encouragement from Edward and Zak, I was finally convinced enough to introduce my children formally to the public spotlight and Zak’s movie premiere today seemed like the perfect opportunity.

“Wave to the camera, my dears,” I said cheerfully as I instructed my children to act friendly and wave.

The three of them waved and smiled happily at the camera. I was sure that there would be multiple articles and social media posts saying negative things about us but there would also be good things, hopefully. Regardless, I had decided that I will have to live with it.

“Glad you could make it!” Zak said happily as he came to stand by my side.

The bodyguards did their job well of keeping the cameramen at bay and letting Zak through. We took photos togethers and the children were very excited to see Zak.

“How are my awesome trio doing?” Zak asked enthusiastically as he bent down to hug the children.

“I miss you, Zak,” Roseline said in a sweet voice as she hugged Zak tightly.

The other children followed and also hugged Zak tightly. Yup, Zak was definitely on their favorites list.

After what seemed like an eternity of getting our photos taken, Zak and I answered some questions and excused ourselves so that we could all enter the event.

“The kids seem to be doing well. I think they’re having fun,” Zak whispered to me once we were inside.
