Rose was escorted in by the bodyguards who lent their hand for Rose to hold as she walked. “Young Miss!!" Paige suddenly rushed out of the mansion and walked towards Rose. Without warning she immediately pulled Rose into a tight hug which surprised Rose herself. “Auntie?” Rose softly called. She
“Both Madam and the young master went shopping together since Madam's birthday is near. The young miss has gone to school, she should be back by now.” Paige answered, making Rose nod her head. ‘Going shopping while your husband's daughter is missing. Very typical, Beatrice.’ Rose thought to herself
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 s

They began the game in silence, the soft clink of chess pieces the only sound. Frank’s moves were calculated, deliberate, but he quickly realized Rose wasn’t an easy opponent. Her strategy was sharp, her responses precise, and it wasn’t long before she had him on the defensive. Frank leaned back in
Rose smiled, caught between the two. “I… I didn’t mean to start a competition!” she said, laughing lightly. Frank chuckled and placed a hand on Anne’s shoulder. “It’s not a competition, dear,” he said softly, his voice carrying a reassuring note. “Let her call us whatever she feels comfortable with
