“Awwn, where do I start from……. First of all, let me thank you wholeheartedly from the bottom of my heart, sister , for transferring all your money to me and my brother. Hahaha, it's worth tens of billions, sister.” Sophia muttered as she pulled out a few pieces of paper from her bag and held it in front of Roseline.
She took a few steps forward, waving the documents proudly at her. “This is what I mean, sister. You see, this paper in my hand, is the paper you've signed to agree to transfer all of your money to us on your wedding day. You're just the most stupid person in the world. Thank you so much, my idiot sister, because you've foolishly signed the documents without taking a proper glimpse of it.”Her pale face was tainted with blood oozing out of eyes, as she took a closer look and read the content on the documents. Her heart went frozen in pain and shock, she shivered and trembled. It felt like her entire body was whipped by thorny lashes. The sudden desire and urge to kill and get revenge from them burned within and overwhelmed her. She wanted them all dead.Both she and Henry started their relationship ten years ago as friends until five years ago when they graduated from highschool and he asked her out to be his girlfriend. She had refused him at first but he relentlessly kept chasing after her for a whole year before she finally agreed to be his girlfriend. Ever since then they've been in love or so she thought. The whole thing was nothing but a mere joke to him, a deadly trap for her from the very beginning.Lies! What does Sophia mean by tens of billions? She only got a few thousands as her pocket money and nothing else, so since when did she have ten of billions net worth? How could they go through all the struggle and do this to her all for just a little sum of money? They told lies, pretended to be nice, made her believe and trust them wholeheartedly, then they finally went ahead to stab and poison her. The cruelest of cruel! They are no different from animals!Sophia smiled when she saw how confused Roseline looked, it was obvious that she still didn't understand what she was talking about. “Confusing right? Don't worry I will do you another favor and break everything down since you're obviously dumb to understand. I shall tell you the truth, my dearest sister. Both your maternal grandfather and your mother had deposited and willed a huge fortune in your name and account for you before they died. And you will only be allowed to use it once you're twenty five years old but unfortunately for you, you won't get the chance to live and spend it because you will die soon and you have willingly transferred everything to us. As well as the shares and properties you've earned from our grandfather as well.” Sophia who appeared to have been holding back to say this for years let it all out.“Incase you're also wondering why Henry married you, it's all part of the stupid condition that your dead mother had written in her will before she died. She made mention that her daughter should have been married for four years before you can get access to all the wealth. So you should understand why he kept up with you.. Hahaha……..” She let out a hysterical laugh, her eyes turned red with excitement and shone like that of a wolf on a full moon night.Roseline’s face turned white as snow, her bloodied eyes went wide open. ‘Grandpa? ‘ It was true, her grandfather who was also her mother's biological father was a renowned businessman and a well-known real estate tycoon. However, her old man passed away as well a few years ago. She wasn't aware that her mother had inherited her father's property, she only knew that after her mother married her father, both companies merged, and it was all controlled by the Grays’Her mother died young and she wasn't aware of the money from her grandfather or mother. How come such fortune had become a misfortune in her life and the death of her now? So technically, she was dying because these people she called family wanted to inherit her wealth and riches?In a blink of an eye, her vision started to get more blurry and blurry. She couldn't see anything nor could she think. The only remaining thing in her mind was to seek escape and run away from this evil and filthy world, from the family of lies and betrayal.Her consciousness slowly began to abandon her. Her body felt so freezing cold.Was she dying already? Was she about to see and meet her mother in the other world?It would be a good thing to leave, be away from these evil souls, to somewhere with no pain but peace. She didn't know when Sophia had taken a step closer to her until she heard the voice of her sister close to her ear.“By the way, sister, would like to know how your mother actually died before you die as well. Your most beloved and caring father did it. He was the one who had poisoned her……” Sophia whispered gently into Rose's ear before moving back to see the kind of expression on her face.She then continued with her words. " That fateful day your mother had quickly figured out that your father had poisoned her, so she took her car and tried to escape to the hospital that day but fortunately my mother, she was quick witted enough to have figure that your mother would realize that she was poisoned, so my smart mother planned the accident that took your mother life. Practically, your father started it and my mother only assisted him to finish it.” Sophia revealed.Rose could only stare blankly at Sophia's face, unable to express any emotion even after she just discovered the truth about her mother's death. The truth dawned on her that her mother hadn't accidentally died, she was murdered by her husband, his mistress and the same thing was about to happen toher as well.“Sophia! Henry! You both are so evil and vicious, you both don't deserve to be called humans at all! Even if I die and become a ghost, I will haunt all you down.” Overwhelming hatred surged within her as she glared at the both of them with bloodshot eyes. “Hahaha, then go ahead and become a ghost. I've been waiting so long for this day to come and it's finally here, did you think that mere threat would scare me?“ Sophia's eyes were filled with a sinister desire for destruction as she moved extremely closer to Rose, she grabbed the dagger bottom and pierce it deeper into Rose's stomach. “My dear sister, you deserve to die for us to lead and live a happy life that wouldn't include you.” Sophia muttered in a gently soothing voice but there was no sort of emotion in her gentle voice at all. “Ahh!" Rose let out a gasp when the dagger pierced through her. The sky stumbled upon her, blood gushing out of her mouth and her heart burned in pain. “See you in hell, sister. I will be looking f
Rose stopped laughing when she heard the loud thud sound in the room. She moved her head down and turned to look at the direction where the sound came from.To her dismay, she saw a beautiful young girl, dressed in a black and white knee-length gown standing by the door. She had a scared, frightened and stunned expression on her face as she stared at Roseline who was still sitting on the bed.Rose glanced at the girl for a few seconds before her gaze trailed off to the white bag on the floor. Obviously it was the bag that had fallen down and caused a loud thud sound in the room. However, Rose was puzzled why the girl was standing by the door without moving except for the shocked expression on her face.She recognized the girl, who was none other than her roommate.“Why are you standing there like you've just seen a ghost?" Rose finally asked, raising a brow at her roommate, who could also be considered as her friend.In a flash, after the question left Rose's mouth, her roommate who w
‘ I was partially the cause of your accident, if you hadn't come back to California because of me you wouldn't have been involved in that accident.’ Rose thought to herself, feeling guilty for what happened to Alisa. ‘ However, in this life, there wouldn't be a wedding that would make you come back.’ “You know that you're the only one who I think truly cares for me apart from my mother." Rose suddenly remarked, making Alisa turn to look at her with a confused expression." What are you talking -” Before she could finish saying her words, Rose suddenly hugged her which took her by surprise."Thank you, Lisa.” Rose mumbled softly , hugging her tighter. This was supposed to happen when she saw Alisa again but she was too consumed by the thought of getting revenge to organize her thoughts. “Hey, why are you suddenly acting this way?" Alisa asked after Rose released her from the embrace. She couldn't help but feel like Rose was acting completely different from what she knew ever since sh
*************California, Los Angeles airport.There were crowds of people who exited and entered the airport. Despite the fact that everyone had their destination to run to, they couldn't help but have their attention drawn to a particular direction. In that certain direction that had almost everyone in the airport staring at was none other a slender tall man at the height of 197cm. He was wearing a tailored black suit, white dress shirt and black tie. Just take a glance at his dressing, and one could tell instantly that what he was wearing was filthy expensive.His silky black hair was neatly styled in a short comb over, silver rimmed pilot sunglasses were propped comfortably on his high nose, his thin lips were a shade of peach. He was seductively handsome, however, he emitted a cold and aloof aura.Trailing behind him was his personal assistant and five fully built bodyguards. Each one of them dressed in black suit with the King crest embroidered on the chest of their jacket. Hi
Rose, on the other hand, had effortlessly raised the attention from the many people in the airport, however, she was paying very little attention to the bystanders who were watching the scene. As much as she hated causing a public scene such as she was doing now. However, she just couldn’t let this one pass by just like that since her patience button had already been pushed. ‘How can such a person exist in this world?!!’ All she did was just accidentally bump into him. She even went as far as to apologize to him, but he was acting way over dramatic and acted as if she was some kind of cockroach that touched him. Truly despicable!!“Anyways, since I've already apologized to you, then there isn’t a reason for me to be standing here any longer.” Rose mumbled as she bent down to pick up her backpack which had slipped off her shoulder earlier when she fell to the ground. She dusted off the dust on her bag and slung it over her shoulder not bothering to pay attention to the man staring a
Rose made her way to the black gate and pressed the button on the voice intercom that was placed outside the gate for visitors. “Young Miss, how may we help you?" A voice belonging to a security officer asked Rose through the intercom. They had been watching her every move ever since she stepped out of the taxi and made her way to the black gate through the CCTV camera that was outside. “Hello, I'm here to see the Gray family.” Rose announced through the intercom. It was obvious that the security guard didn't remember her since she hadn't come in a car owned by the Gray household. Besides, it's been years since she moved to study overseas as well.‘I guess I will just let this one slide.’"Do you have an appointment?" The security guard asked again."No I don't." Rose replied curtly. “That……" The security guard was about to say something when Rose interrupted him.“You can go ahead and inform them of my presence here, I'm sure they would know me instantly." She suggested it before
Rose creased her brow for a few minutes when she heard Paige. What does she mean by ‘due time’? Confused at what she was saying, Rose was about to ask Paige to explain what she was talking about. However, she suddenly recalled something. That's right, in her previous life, she had returned back to the country one month from now. However, due to the fact that she was reborn, she had rushed to come back earlier than everyone expected.It was no wonder she felt that the maids welcoming her earlier was weird because she hadn't witnessed such a welcome in the past even when she arrived at the time everyone expected.“It was a last minute decision. Besides, where is my father and stepmother? I haven’t seen my stepmother around since I came. Isn't she aware of my arrival?” Rose asked, she was sure that her stepmother would have come running to meet her once she heard she was around and acting all nice to her. But the mansion seems quiet for some reason."Well, the Master is away on a busines
“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!" Rose let out a loud scream as she quickly jolted awake from her sleep. Her upper clothes was soaked in sweat despite the fact that air conditioner was turned on. She has a completely pale face regardless of her naturally pale skin. It was only when she opened her eyes did she realize that she had fallen asleep and had a nightmare.“I thought one was supposed to have nightmares when it's night?" Rose mumbled, trying to catch her breath while running a hand through her head. It was a terrible dream of herself dying again and she got to see the evil and wicked smile on Sophia's face again. Just as she was trying to regain herself, she heard a knock on the door. “Come in.” She answered in a gentle voice.The door opened and Paige strolled into the room with another maid carrying a tray behind her. Paige gestured the maid to leave after she placed the tray on the table.“I brought you something to freshen yourself before dinner is prepared." Paige said as stared at Ro
“Yes, that's true, I've only seen Sophia around but not your oldest first daughter.” Mrs. Will interfered when she too heard Mrs. Phillip’s question. She planned to ask Beatrice because she had been looking around for Rose but couldn't find her. “Thank God, I thought I was the only one who missed seeing that cute loveable child. Where did you say she is, Beatrice?” Mrs. Phillip asked again despite knowing that Beatrice hadn't replied yet. Beatrice smiled at both Mrs. Phillip and Mrs. Will. ‘You crazy two bitches. I'm already prepared for you.’ she thought to herself. She was aware that these two women were nothing but trouble, that's why she prepared herself for them since she had no choice but to invite them to her little party. “Oh, well, my poor Rose has a fever and is staying in bed. I told her not to come outside because of the cold weather and her fever could worsen.” She calmly answered. “Oh dear, is Rose okay? Why didn't you let us know beforehand." Mrs. Phillip worriedly
Once, Rose had believed that Beatrice cared for her. She had believed in her kindness, thinking that maybe Beatrice did see her as a daughter. But now, she saw through the facade. Beatrice wasn’t protecting her. She was merely covering for her son, brushing away his actions as though they were minor inconveniences. Each word of Beatrice’s “comfort” felt like salt in a wound. Still in pain and unable to walk comfortably, Rose was confined to her bed. Though Rose's leg had healed more than she portrayed it to everyone, it was also part of her plan. During her confinement, Rose constantly talked with Nicholas and gave him directions on the things she wanted him to do with the security video she asked him to find. Although he could fairly guess what his little cousin was up to, Nicholas was still confused about how she was planning all this in her little head. Yet, despite her stepdaughter’s state, Beatrice's grand birthday party carried on as planned. The house bustled with preparatio
The next day, Rose received a call from Theresa in the morning, telling her to visit the store because of something important. Rose actually thought it was something that wouldn't take time so she lied to Beatrice who was at home that she was going to her friend's place. As expected, Beatrice didn't probe too much and let Rose leave. It was only when Rose got there did she realize that it was going to take a while for her to finish up with the meeting so she tried to rush things up. Nancy sent a text message to Rose when she was having a meeting with Theresa, in order to inform Rose that she would soon be arriving at the location of the first house on Rose's list. Nancy wanted Rose to be present personally, so that she can be able to negotiate some of the terms with the real estate agent. Rose would have loved to attend the meeting but it was impossible since her meeting with Theresa wasn't over yet. As a result, she had no other choice but to text Nancy and told her to carry on w
“That is an excellent choice. I will give the estate manager incharge of these properties a call tonight and we can meet at the location to sign the complete deal.” Nancy suggested. Rose easily agrees to Nancy's term since she found the suggestion acceptable.“That's fine by me. I'll meet you there tomorrow morning.” “Yes, but that is not the case here. I don't think it's wise for you to go out again tomorrow with how you look." She added as she looked at Rose who tilted her head to the side. There is no way she wanted Rose to walk around with that face again tomorrow. Today was a mistake because she didn't know what happened to her.“Are you worried about me, big sister? Don't because I am fine. Besides, I need to handle this before it gets late because I will be needing it soon." Rose replied, giving a reassuring smile at Nancy.“I know but I still think you should get better first, huh? You have to care about yourself more." Nancy argued, despite knowing that Rose was right. Howe
When they arrived at their destination, Rose told Luthor to wait for her while she headed to the restaurant entrance.Immediately she entered the restaurant, she sighted Nancy sitting at one of the tables by the window so she made her way there while trying to control herself from limping too much.“I'm sorry for making you wait for me, sister Nancy." Rose said as she stood in front of the table.“Oh dear, Rose what happened to your face?” Nancy looked up when she heard Rose's voice ready to greet her with a smile but she was shocked when she saw Rose.Rose gave Nancy a smile before taking her seat in front of her. “It's nothing serious, I just got into a little accident but I'm healing now." She replied.“You should have told me about this, I wouldn't have accepted us to meet today. Are you sure you're okay coming out like this?" Nancy worriedly asked. “I am, don't worry about me." Rose nodded her head at Nancy but it wasn't enough to make the woman stop worrying about her. She was
………..The next day, Rose was unable to go to school because of injuries. After everyone had left the mansion, Rose picked up her phone and called Luthor to get the car ready for her.Well, the Gray family thought she would be unable to go out but that wasn't true, she had got appointments with Nancy who was already waiting for her at the restaurant they were supposed to meet.A few minutes later, Rose stepped out of her building fully dressed in all black clothes and backpack. Luthor, who was already waiting for her, stepped out of the driver seat and opened the back seat door for her.“Are you sure you should be going out in that condition?" Luthor asked as he drove out of the mansion. Earlier he had watched Rose limp into the car when he hadn't taken his eyes off her. Even as she sat in the car pressing her cellphone his gaze constantly fell on her bruised face and leg.Rose looked up from her phone and glanced at the driver seat. “Yes. It's important. And I told you not to have th
Beatrice was caught off guard when she heard Rose. How was she supposed to reply to that?Seeing her mother in a difficult situation to come up with something to say, Sophia tugged Rose's hand. “Sister, don't think like that. Ever since you left and mom found out that Victor chased you out, mom scolded him really really badly on your behalf." As a sweet-talker, Sophia expected her tricks to work on Roes who smiled at her and pretended like she never did anything earlier. It almost looked like she was a robot that was being rubbotted.Ah, yes. But it seems like my scolding isn't enough for him. I will make sure to seek punishment for him from your father when he comes back. My darling, I'm sorry for coming so late." Beatrice took the opportunity crested by her daughter and came up with something quickly.Rose smiled upon seeing how mother and daughter keep trying to come up with an excuse to cover for each other. Not wanting to drag on seeing their faces, Rose lied that she wanted to
Rose, who was busy taking her nap, frowned when she felt the presence in her room. ‘I should have locked that door earlier.’“Sister, wake up. It's me, Sophia." Sophia persistently shook Rose's body, making her groan in pain at how tight Sophia's grip was.“It hurts, Sophia.” Rose mumbled as she gently pushed Sophia's hand away and sat up on the bed." Oh, I'm sorry. Mother and I were just so excited and happy when we heard that you're back." Sophia quickly apologized as she sat beside Rose on the bed."Roseline, dear. Why did you do that? Do you have any idea how worried I was when I heard that you left the mansion? Your father got angry at me because of that.” Beatrice suddenly ranted as she looked at Rose with a fake worried expression on her face.“Mother, I didn't leave just like that. I had no choice but to listen to Victor when he chased me out because I didn't want him to get more angry with me." Rose replied as she looked up at Beatrice. Honestly, she wasn't really in the moo
Just as she was about to go inside, the gates opened and another car which belonged to Beatrice drove in as well, making Sophia pause.“Sophia, what are you doing outside still dressed like that?"Beatrice questioned as she stepped out of the car along with Victor. She had a scowl on her face when she saw her daughter still dressed the same way she had dressed when she left this morning.“I just got back home now." Sophia casually replied to her mother. “And before you scold me, I went out with my friends after school so I was late because of that." She quickly added, knowing what her mother might say next.“Mom, stop looking at Sophia like that. She is old enough to hang out with her friends, isn't she?” Victor suddenly Interjected while winking at his sister who smiled at him for his help.“I know, I just want you to be careful sometimes." As expected, Beatrice couldn't win against her children and softened her gaze at Sophia.“Mommy, did you get that picture of the dress I sent to y
