On the other side, Peter went to the security room and pulled out the footage. His hand felt cold as he saw these two brats enter the room, and after a few minutes, the bodyguards who were waiting outside the room entered and there was the sound of breaking things and screams.“God, see I am not wrong, it’s them.” Peter pointed at the screen and shouted.“Move.” Matthew pushed Peter away and sat before the monitor, running his fingers over the keyboard.“What is he doing?” Peter asked.“Deleting the footage,” Michael said, knowing Matthew was making the right call. They couldn’t risk anyone discovering the involvement of Rose and Jane.Peter stayed silent and let Matthew and Michael handle everything.After a few minutes, Matthew nodded. “Give them this.” He cleared everything and left with Michael.When Peter emerged, he saw Aaron and finally understood why people said enemies were bound to cross paths. He never liked Aaron, but this was a secret shared among their ranks; Aaron was m
The security system detected a significant threat, triggering a black alert. Suddenly, a spotlight illuminated them, momentarily blinding everyone."We messed up," Logan yelled from behind as he assessed the situation. He knew nothing good could come of this girl's scheme. "Oh my god, did we get caught?" Jane panicked, while Rose, outwardly calm, felt a storm of worry inside. She believed she had tampered with the system before leaving.Their eyes fell on a figure at the mansion's back entrance, standing in darkness yet commanding attention. "I'm dead," Logan muttered, recognizing his uncle."I thought my little Rose was peacefully sleeping inside. What is my little Rose doing outside at this hour?" The man's commanding voice cut through their fear.Suddenly, Rose, who had caused so much trouble alone, became timid. To save herself, she exclaimed, "Uncle!" Rose, the little betrayer, ran excitedly toward the figure hidden in the shadows.Ignoring the world, Rose jumped on the person, b
Alexander handed Rose the glass of water, knelt before her, and slowly untied her shoelaces. The great Alexander Ariston, the pride of the North country and warrior god, kneeled before a little girl to untie her shoes."Holy shit," someone exclaimed.The excited audience, who had come to enjoy the show, silently seethed with envy, jealousy, and disappointment. They had expected Alexander Ariston to scold his princess, but they were daydreaming; she completely charmed the man from head to toe. Even Jason Henson, who had entered, hissed at them. He was thankful Alexander Ariston hadn’t boxed up his sister, but even he was surprised.Ariston could have completely ignored Rose’s action, even though he already knew the mess his precious princess had caused, including her altercation with Dawson.Rose grinned ear to ear as she looked at the familiar faces. She and these people had never gotten along because whenever they were around, they clashed with her, taunting and troubling her when h
“Lock them in the dungeon for a day. Give them no food or water.”Alexander Ariston did it again. Horror filled everyone’s eyes.Jane and Logan, who had thought the man was being lenient since his princess forced the issue, were surprised. This man never failed to shock them repeatedly.“Uncle,” Logan cried out pitifully. Even though his uncle hadn't tortured them directly, the dungeon was a place he dreaded—one where his uncle inflicted unspeakable horrors on all kinds of enemies. It was a grim location where he showed no mercy.Alexander took perverse satisfaction in capturing his enemies and torturing them on his turf, reveling in the fear he instilled before their eventual demise. It was his way of demonstrating dominance.“Bro, let them go for once. Consider it a special occasion,” Jason, who knew it was Rose’s birthday, pleaded. “Forgive them just this once.”“No way,” Alexander replied firmly. “If I keep giving them chances, they’ll just spoil my little Rose.”He was resolute w
Alexander sighed and walked out onto the balcony. He needed a moment to clear his head. Lighting a cigarette, he tried to process his thoughts. The moment Rose stepped outside, she became a target.For eight years, those waiting for a chance to strike have been like predators. Rose’s presence had stirred them once more, and they were closing in. Although Alexander wasn’t afraid of these threats, he worried for her safety. Rose had a way of diving headfirst into danger without always considering the risks. Each reckless move she made seemed to draw those lurking even closer, and Alexander knew he would be tied up with his own missions this year, not being around her for 24 hours. Balancing his duties with ensuring her safety was becoming increasingly challenging since the girl was not someone who would be obedient, and the fear of not being able to protect her weighed heavily on him.Ten years ago, he saw her as a responsibility. Now, it is different. Just the thought of her being har
“Stop…… please don’t hurt her.” Rose’s father, who took three bullets in his chest, begged in front of the people who had just bragged about their home and killed his pregnant wife and his maids in front of him.He tried to fight, but these men came prepared. He had only a wish right now, not to let them discover his daughter, whom he had hidden in the wardrobe.These men laughed like manic as he walked toward the wardrobe since he knew where he had kept the girl.Rose’s father dragged his blood-drenched body and tried to stop these men; he knew what would happen to the girl if they found her.The men didn’t bother with Rose’s father and pulled open the wardrobe door, and little Rose, who was shaking violently, looked at the man with frightened eyes.But when her eyes fell on her mother’s dead body, along with the maids and her father in blood, she couldn’t stay quiet and screamed.How could a 10-year-old girl keep her calm seeing such a horrific scene in front of her? These men didn’
The man’s features were enough to prove classic elegance, yet there was a dangerous aura around him that barely anyone could ignore; his aura was too much for Rose to bear, But before she could even make up her mind, one assailant who was taken down with a bullet stood up behind Rose and the man. Rose screamed in even more horror; she thought the dangerous man would hurt the man before her.Even the man’s people were surprised; they thought all of them had died, but who knew one of them was alive and he dared to target their boss?The man had a sharp dagger in his hand as he launched at their boss, but the man didn’t even turn his head, sensing the danger; instead, he attacked the man with one hand while still shielding the girl before him.Before the assassin’s knife could touch the man, he fell; this sudden move shocked everyone; no one noticed how their master blocked the man’s attack; only when the man fell did they see the knife on the assassin’s chest deep buried in his heart.
A maid screamed. She was a young girl who had lost her parents in an accident, so Butler Harold took pity on her and gave her the housemaid job.But before putting her on such a serious job, he made her understand the rules of his master’s life - she could never eye their master because their master hates manipulative people, and second, she should keep her mouth shut.She only got Butler Harold’s cold glare when she screamed like this. “Patrica, keep your mouth close.” An Aged woman scolded her. The other maid was an old lady who cooked. Other than her cooking, Master Ariston never liked anyone’s food, so she became a permanent cook in the mansion.“Patrica, we should stay within our boundaries; over curiosity might get us in trouble,” the old woman, Aunty Hina, who understands the world better than Patricia, said with a thoughtful expression.Patrica lowered her excited eyes as she understood she shouldn’t cross the line at all. She had been working for Master Ariston for over thre
