Rose sat in the dimly lit hospital room, her heart racing with a mix of anxiety and anticipation. The constant sterile scent of disinfectant lingered in the air, mingling with the faint aroma of flowers from a vase on the bedside table. Sunlight filtered through the partially closed blinds, casting soft shadows on the pale walls, creating an atmosphere of both comfort and uncertainty.
The door creaked open, and Dr. Diaz,a middle-aged man with a kind yet somber expression, entered the room. His white lab coat billowed slightly as he moved, lending an air of authority to his presence. Rose's eyes met his, her gaze filled with a mixture of fear and curiosity.
As the doctor began to speak, Rose's breath caught in her throat. His words hung in the air, heavy with the weight of her diagnosis. "Rose, I'm afraid you have cervical trauma," he said gently, his voice tinged with empathy. "The roughness of your

Rose sat still as her mother's words echoed in her head. She had always struggled with a strained relationship with Maya, and prisca's presence only added to her discomfort, and she wasn't ready for another awkward atmosphere. She wanted so badly to be inside her room, somewhere where it was just her, and no one else, to recollect and go through all the happenings that day. Somewhere that she could escape the complexities of familial dealings.Suppressing her frustration, Rose mustered a weak smile and replied, with her eyes narrowed and not looking directly at them "Thank you, Mother. I appreciate your kind words prisca, but I'm feeling a bit tired. I think I'll head up to my room now."And without waiting for a response from either of them, Rose mustered up the strength to push her wheelchair forward, as she was determined to distance herself from the uncomfortable atmosphere. she reached for the handles and, withou

As Rose's consciousness gradually emerged from the depths of sleep, she felt a lingering heaviness in her limbs, as if they were reluctant to part ways with the comfort of her bed. The tendrils of weariness tugged at her, reminding her of the hours she had spent lost in dreams that she could now barely longer remember, and the rejuvenation that had yet to fully infuse her body.She slowly blinked open her eyes, the room appeared hazy and muted, still shrouded in the remnants of slumber. Soon there was an automatic click and the lights came on, her vision struggled to adjust to the surrounding light, and she instinctively closed her eyes, seeking solace in the familiar darkness behind closed eyelids.Yet, despite the lingering fatigue, there was something different about that particular evening. The littering remains of echo from her dream, with its resurgence of long-forgotten aspiratio

I'm sorry," Maya choked out, her voice sounding muffled and choked with sorrow. The apology lingered in the air, heavy with the weight of unspoken secrets and hidden anguish.Just as soon as Maya finished speaking, there was a soft knock on the door. Slightly startled, she quickly wiped away her tears, gesturing to Rose to do the same. They hastily straightened their postures and put on forced smiles, hoping the person behind the door wouldn't notice the traces of their now red faces.Prisca entered the room, her eyes scanning the scene with a mixture of curiosity, and with an expression of slight mockery that only Rose could notice. She knew that Rose had been going through a difficult time lately, but the true extent of her pain remained concealed. Prisca approached them slowly, her voice was firm and showed the littlest of concern."Rose, are you alright?" Prisca asked, her eyes narrowing slightly as she took

However, there was no answer. She furrowed her brow, a mix of surprise and curiosity filling her thoughts.Uncertain of what to do next, Rose gently pushed the door, finding it unlocked. With a cautious push, the door swung open silently, revealing the room beyond. She hesitated for a moment, contemplating whether to enter or go back into her room,and return later. The pain in her body made the decision for her — she chose to step inside, closing the door behind her.The room greeted her with a familiar and serene atmosphere, the subtle hum of the air conditioning filling the air. The moonlight filtered similarly through the partially drawn curtains, casting a soft glow over the familiar surroundings. Rose took a mome

Rose stood frozen in Sebastian's embrace, her body tense with uncertainty. The surge of unease she felt was unexpected, an unsettling mix of vulnerability and fear that coursed through her veins. Sebastian's actions, which she did know if they were well-intentioned, had caught her off guard, shattering the fragile barriers she had carefully wanted to re-construct around herself.As they stood there, her cheek still cradled in his warm hand, a flurry of emotions cascaded within her. Rose knew she had two choices at that moment—retreat back into the safety of her room, or surrender to the unknown, allowing herself to be vulnerable with Sebastian, even though she knew the chances of him wanting her body again were low, she still didn't understand what to do where she stood face to face with a handsome and freshly cleaned face and a very muscular and well structured chest.His touch, once again unsettling, but now began t

The elegantly adorned dining room exuded an air of sophistication and refinement, its polished wooden table set with gleaming silverware and crystal glasses. Soft candlelight danced upon the delicate china, casting a warm glow that contrasted starkly with the iciness that had settled within the hearts of the guests.Rose stood at the entrance of the dining room, her footsteps faltering momentarily as she took in the sight before her. Her eyes roamed over the carefully arranged table, noticing the intricate floral centerpiece that seemed to symbolize the fragility of the situation. It was a scene that she felt should have been filled with joy and harmony, a celebration of family and love, but instead, it felt like an orchestrated charade.Taking a deep breath, Rose stepped forward, her flat but silvery shoe clicking against the polished marble floor, as she walked with a hidden distress.

Rose 's eyes opened to the brightness of light from her window, she was awoken to the stillness of the mansion, her mind still heavy with the events of the previous night. She couldn't recall when she had finally allowed herself to succumb to sleep after leaving Sebastian and her mother, and retreating to her room. Slowly, she pushed herself out of bed, her body feeling weighed down by a mixture of exhaustion, slight pain, and a tug of emotional turmoil.As Rose made her way to the bathroom, she allowed herself a moment of respite under the soothing stream of water cascading from the showerhead. The warm droplets washed away the remnants of a restless night, offering a fleeting sense of calmness amidst the chaos that she feared had become her reality. Taking a deep breath, she let the water envelop her, hoping it would wash away some of the confusing thoughts that she carried within.After the refreshing shower,

Something was different, something unexpected awaited her.Sebastian approached her, his voice filled with warmth and anticipation. "Rose, I have a surprise for you," he said, his smile widening. "I reached out to Emily myself and asked her to come."Rose's eyes widened in disbelief, her breath catching in her throat. The surprise was now unveiled, and her heart raced with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. Sebastian had taken it upon himself to make contact with her closest friend.
