“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
Alexander opened his mouth and gave brief details; both Butler and Daniel looked like they had fallen from the sky. “She is Rose Hart, the Hart family’s daughter?” Daniel felt the world was spinning what he had just heard.The child was from Hart's family; now it makes sense why she was in such a state.Alexander didn’t explain further. Instead, he gave a light nod.“So you’re telling the entire Hart family had been murdered, and she is the only survivor, and she witnessed everything?” Daniel felt it was the biggest joke fate could play on any human. Can you imagine if your family got brutally murdered before your eyes, and you witnessed everything and almost died, also?“Hmm.” Even Alexander fell silent before this sentence because this was the harsh truth about her, and he could not turn it off anymore.Daniel falls silent, and instead of pity, Butler Harold feels sympathy for the girl; this girl is just broken by the world for life, and no medicine might ever revive her heart aga
Alexander saw how much pain and terror she held in her little eyes.Alexander slowly got close to the girl as she shrank in fear, and he raised his hand in front of her.“Take my hand,” Alexander said, but she got even more scared instead of doing it.“If you take my hand, I’ll take you to meet your parents, and I promise if you hold my hand now, in this world, no one can get even near to hurt you, so do you want to take my hand?” Alexander knew if he forced her, she would be even caged, but he needed to make her understand he was not someone who would hurt her.Rose looked at Alexander; she was hesitant, her blue eyes shifting between his hand and her tiny little hand, which was dug into her pink dress; when she saw he waited patiently.She was taking time, and he didn’t even look angry or didn’t take his hand away. She calms down still not knowing what to do.“Little girl, you can trust him, Don't mind his face, it was his birth gift. But he always keeps his promises.” Daniel added
Rose raised her curious gaze and looked at the man she called uncle. She just nodded; as long as this man would let her meet her parents, it didn’t matter what kind of promise he asked her.“Then, let’s go to meet your parents first; as for the promise, I’ll take it in front of your dad,” Alexander said, his voice steady and reassuring; how gentleness was enough to give Rose calmness because she needed someone to believe and hold on and Alexander threw away the real him.His gentle smile hid the darkness and mystery behind it, and he became a different person in front of the girl; even Daniel and Butler Harold couldn't see their eyes; the man in front of him was not their master; they couldn’t accept the reality because it was just an illusion.“Let’s go,” Alexander said to the girl, and Rose took his hand.Alexander brought her where he had kept the bodies; he was just waiting for this girl’s last meeting with her parents.When Rose saw her parents, it seemed they didn’t take the bab
8 years later“Oh my god, can you stop causing trouble for a day? I just want to erase the date from my life when I became a friend with you, damn it, girl, one day you will be the death of me, just remember what I said today.” a boy around twenty said as he panicked when a girl who was just a little younger than him tried to sneak out of the tiger den.The girl who was trying to be like a little thief turned around, her long, lengthy hair flipped as she turned, her blue eyes sparked with a blend of innocence and irritation, her small flawless face radiated a captivating mix of cuteness, her dedicated small round face was framed with black straight tailbone length hair.A pair of lips, naturally tinted with a subtle peach hue, pouted angrily at the man in front of her; her messy, straight hair covered half of her face as she was leaning down, she flipped her hair once again, and her white slender neck was enough to arouse any man’s desire.Standing tall, she boasted a pair of long, s
“Do you want to seduce all the men? Even calling girls dresses in better clothes than you.” This girl always causes trouble; if Rose creates a mess, she will create a storm.Jane looked at the boy in front of her with an angry red face. "Logan Ariston, shut your mouth, call girl? Huh, if you open your mouth again, I’m going to kill you.” Jane stared at Logan as if she was going to burn him with her eyes.Rose rubbed her aching forehead; what she was thinking when she called these two together, how could she forget whenever these two came, they would drag each other as if they wanted to kill each other?“Stop, both of you; we’re here for fun, not to kill each other. Can you two stop? Otherwise, I’m going in without you.” Rose turned her back and walked toward the entrance as if she were walking away without them; these two were the first versions of past lives' enemies.Jane and Logan both followed her inside. But before they entered the main entrance, he grabbed both of them.“I don’
