Rose's Pov: I come down the stairs to hear a commotion coming from Liam and Ryder I roll my eyes sibling love "Hey what did I miss?" I ask stretching they both look at me "Nothing sweet cheeks," Liam says while Ryder throws him a glare I look towards the table to see the letter my eyes widened a bit I could vaguely make out Ryder's name on the letter 'It's not in Jace's hand writing' I look at Liam and Liam leans back clearly something is going on here, Ryder grabs the letter and puts it in his pocket. "What's that?" I question playing dumb he looks up "Just a letter from the school I needed to get a new timetable printed" he smiles but I know he's lying I can practically smell it from a mile away, I nod my head "Okay well I'm going to go make some coffee and than will go on that date you owe me..." I say towards Ryder as I retreat to the kitchen to make a coffee, I placed my phone on the kitchen counter as I see Liam head out the front door smiling mischievously. I pour a cup as
Rose's Pov: He puts a strand of my hair behind my ear I try to use all the strength I could muster within myself and look at him 'You've got to stop running Rose' I thought "What do you want Jace?" I asked He replied while saying "You...." I look at him finally having the courage "Please let me go, I want to live happily" I was begging, pleading for his leave but I knew deep down he would never let me go. "Do you know why I can always find you" he says while he played with a strand of my hair I shake my head slightly, "You have a tracking chip in you...." he stated My eyes widened in shock "Wh-at you put that thing in me I'm not a fucking dog" I exclaim annoyed at this. He grabs my hair and yanks me forward "Oh I know you're not but your my fiancée and until you know your place it's staying in there that night you tried to run, that very first night my father put it in you, it took me all the self-control back than not to tell you, but I don't want to start this marriage off on
Rose's Pov: I groan at the sunlight hitting my face "God Ryder couldn't you just...." I began as I was about to finish my sentence but realize I'm in a different room and not my room Then everything came flooding back to me, Jace drugging me and the girls 'Where are they??' I try and get up but I'm cuffed to the bed, I start shaking the handcuff repetitively. I then stop breathing altogether as I look around the room 'Okay exit tragedy...', I question myself as I look around at the entrance points. I look at the side table to see a single key "Pfft he's practically taunting me" I said scoffing to myself as I pick them up opening my handcuff I rub my wrist then look out the window my mouth hung agape.... where the fuck am I!. I look out the window it was like a fortress people were patrolling everywhere thats why he put the key in the draw because I can't escape anyway, "No this is a nightmare!" I yell as I grip the sides of my head I then hear the door open, it was Jace he smirked
Ryder's Pov:"Thank you, detective, it's good to have you on our side," I say while shutting the door since it had been 24 hours since we saw the twins and Rose last, my arms are folded as Reece, Parker, Wayne and I are sitting in the room "Look Reece do you really know who Jace is?" I questioned him, and he nodded his head slightly "I have an idea" He said "Jace is a mafia king, to put it bluntly," I say truthfully Reece on the other hand found it hilarious "Your joking" he replies while looking at our faces and continues "And how do you know this?" I look at Parker and Wayne "Because we are in a gang too" he stood up and looked at Wayne "You mean you are too that's why you had all those connections?" Wayne nodded guiltily "How do you know Jace?" He asks I swallow looking guilty and he could sense it "Ryder don't ..." Wayne objects while shaking his head he knew what I wanted to do and it was going to come out eventually "Reece... I kill-" I was cut off by a knock at the door
Rose's Pov:I sit there biting my lip in thought Jace took me away from the girls and I'm locked In this room It's driving me insane. 1 hour Ago: "Seperate them" Jace commanded while we stood on the front lawn and tried to make a dash for the wooded area. Chad grabbed Janelle and Winston grabbed Richelle as they kicked and screamed and elbowed them. Jace grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder "Let me down you fucking asshole" I exclaimed angrily "Make me" He replied bluntly I kept hitting him and trying to kick but he held me in a position that I couldn't get out of Present: I sighed shaking my head worried about what will become of my sanity, I didn't like when he used to lock me up after a while because I knew what was gonna happen after the torturing would go on for hours weeks even, If I didn't do what I was told. I wonder how Ryder is has he called the authorities yet? I thought back to the date when I was blushing and how considerate he was of my feelings the whole
Rose's Pov:I still felt his hands all over me as I shuddered at what I let him do to me I didn't want to fight him I was scared and I couldn't help but slightly want it and that made me sick. Richelle came storming up to me and dragging me into the garden where Janelle was pissed crossing her arms and looking at me, 'Why are they angry at me?' I thought they stare as their eyes are fixed on me. "What?" I question innocently "What were you doing with Jace?" Richelle asked I gulped 'Did she hear?!' She laughed a little while saying "Winston hinted at me Jesus pull yourself together woman look where we are!! Jace put us all in this position and you're having sex with him!" I replied, "SEX I didn't have sex with him he just...." I trailed off "Well!" Janelle asked snappily I sighed "He just..." I say while feeling disgusted in myself turning my back to them They both sighed and turned me around "Don't worry I get the picture Rose I know what he did it's practically written on your
Ryder's Pov:I sit there on the edge of my seat worried about what there going through still trying to process my so-called dead sister Is sitting next to me trying to calm me down and my brother knew behind my back, my right leg is shaking "There has to be fucking something!", I yelled looking at Parker and Wayne They sighed until Wayne suddenly sits up straight "Hold on....the girls had necklaces I remember on their 16th birthday their dad gave them both of them identical necklaces", Wayne said "Yeah how's that going to fucking help Wayne where trying to find them not use accessories" I replied angrily He smirks "They were tracking chips the girls use to complain about it all the time how do you think they would have found Rose before they were snatched because they gave her one, hopefully, they haven't caught on to their necklaces no doubt they have or will," he says in thought. "How long do we have for them to find out..." I ask Parker and Wayne, they typed quickly trying to ha
Rose's Pov: I didn't know I would go as far as I did an hour ago I was quite shocked at what I did, with Jace, but now things just got ten times worse it hit the bottom line for me I was now fucking branded as the mafia queen I can not believe he cuffed me and singed me with his ring. "I have some things to attend to baby girl... don't run far," he said raising an eyebrow smirking knowing I will try and that's exactly what I did, I tried to run to where the basement was but whom I bumped into made my skin crawl... Michael. "Roselle..." I look up to see Jace's father steadying me looking slightly confused, I lost air I couldn't speak 'Why was he here!' I gulped as Jace showed his face grinning at me "Nice to see you father" His father's eyes left mine then went down to my hand as if searching for the engagement ring 'pfft, of course, fucking mafia men' I scoffed in my head. "So you came back Roselle?" he asks me I forced a small smile "Yes... I did" I said Michaels's eyes travele
Rose's Pov: I look at my dress on the hanger "I never saw myself doing this Sasha...getting married to Jace" I said while she places a hairpin in my hair "I know if your mum and dad could see you now they would be proud of you....you look beautiful" she said putting her hands on both my shoulder blades trying to make the best of the situation I was currently in. "I wish they were here to see me but Jace and Michael have other ideas they probably don't trust my parents" I replied She smiled a bit and turned me around "You'll be fine sweetheart now I think you'll be needing to get in that dress" she said with a gentle smile as I brought it towards myself analysing it "So this marriage how does this Mascarade ball work?" I ask confused She smiled "This is a bit different than your regular wedding" she replied as she continues "Everyone will wear masks and he won't come till later so you just have to go around talk, dance, enjoy yourself and then when he arrives will head to the fro
Rose's Pov:I woke up in Jace's room after my attempt at suicide last night he didn't want to leave me alone, Richelle and Janelle weren't allowed to see me after visiting me at the medical room until the wedding. He had his arm wrapped around my waist, I close my eyes feeling sick knowing I'll be getting married to him today and I don't know how to feel about the situation, Actually I do, 'I'm fucking trapped and I don't know if Kaiser can help me this time' I thought "Roselle are you awake?" I heard him say beside me I'm quietly breathing softly making it look like I'm out to it he sighed, "I promise I swear to you that I'll try and change I'll try to be the man you fell in love, I'll try and make you happy to the end of my days" He whispered kissing my cheek When I felt him leave the room my eyes slowly opened as I sigh "Yeah right how long until you actually break me" I whispered under my breath pulling the quilt up further under my chin shutting my eyes just wanting this horri
Rose's Pov: I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat I felt sick to the stomach my family was so fucked up to a point where I started thinking that my life was completely fucked well it already was currently. I turn up and stare at the roof "I'm getting married tomorrow" I said out loud turning back over putting a pillow on my face, At eighteen never saw my life heading this way if I thought about it I always planned what would happen how it would happen, but it always got me into arguments with my parents.Two Years Ago: I twist around suddenly annoyance running through me, "I wanted to do everything by the book, date, boyfriend, and girlfriend for a year or two that would lead to finally getting married and having kids in that specific order, but now that's obviously not going to work out for me because I'm now completely stuck in this predicament between a guy I've barely known over a week period this is not the 18th century and I'm not a cow up for auction" I exclaimed as they just stan
Rose's Pov: 'Ugh I can't even leave for the mall because Jace doesn't trust me and after that phone call he hasn't been back, I look at the rack of dresses glaring at each one just wanting to rip them into tiny little pieces and burn them while stomping on the remaining ashes, don't judge me I need help. I feel small being stuck in this manor I feel claustrophobic he says 'I'll let you roam the grounds but no further' like who the hell do you think you are telling me what to do, but I haven't really rejected it but still he's such a...I don't even have words because half of the crap that comes out of my mouth definitely wouldn't be used in heaven. "This was the one you pointed out in the beginning wasn't it?" Sasha questions I replied with a one-worded "Yes." I clench my jaw angry all this rage is building up inside me 'Him keeping my father for years away from my life when I needed him most, getting Felicity involved which ended up in her demise by guess who the stepbrother that I
Rose's Pov: I wake up with Jace's arm wrapped around my waist and this is the day before the wedding 'This is what my life has come to? forced into marriage, my friends lying to me and me wanting to be with someone I can't have' I look at the ring on my finger analyzing it I sigh in desperation wanting to be in Ryder's arms having him hold me and telling me it's going to be okay, what's wrong with me? Ryder killed Felicity my cousin and I have to use my head but my heart is telling me otherwise. I sit in an upright position sighing looking out the window hearing the birds harmonious noises, I then look back at Jace maybe it won't be too bad, I just have to find a way to change him somehow take him back to the real him kind and caring, but he is not the one I did fall for, he's turned out to be cold and a monster. I stare at his face as I remember waking up next to him in my bed when I was 16 god it feels just like yesterday I was going to stay with him for 3 months thinking it will
Rose's Pov: After I rehearsed with Jace I'm back in the room sitting on the bed hands in my lap thinking, 'I can't get comfortable here I need to leave, finish school, I've barely even started out and I'm already getting married ' I say in thought I look out the window sighing thinking about my old room, the house and him 'I miss you, Ryder' I'm thinking about you over and over 'Has he forgotten about me?' the thought brings tears to my eyes I'm questioning myself why In the little time I've got to know Ryder he brings warmth in my heart I've never felt, longing for him to comfort me, hug me when I cry and If I could just be in his warm embrace again I would feel whole...pfft what am I saying it's not going to happen they don't even know where we are. I'm trapped, I huddle my legs when a couple of tears fell from my eyes as I sniffle wiping my tears with my sleeve 'It's okay you can get through this tommorow is the last day of your freedom I need to make things right'. Janelle's Po
Rose's Pov: I then turn over heaving and throw up in the bush, I wipe my mouth then suddenly something occurs to me "Oh no..." I whisper under my breath I turn around quickly "Roselle you okay?" Jace asks in a worried tone I swallow the bile that wants to come out "I'm fine I just need some rest..." I say feeling a bit dizzy, Michael looks at me analyzing my whole body, stopping at my stomach 'He must think I'm pregnant' I say in thought looking at Michael my eyes widened then that cold evil smile made its way to his face. "I'm going to go lay down okay..." I say towards Jace he nods kissing me on the forehead as I made my way upstairs. Jace's Pov: I look towards my father as he watches Rose ascend the stairs, "What's on your mind?" I ask him he looks back at me "I think she's pregnant..." He replied bluntly "Pregnant really dad? look at this severed head it would make anyone throw up" I said he had a smirk "She's seen worse way worse...and she didn't vomit then did she?" he a
Ryder's Pov: As I put down my phone on the coffee table everyone is waiting for my reply. "It was Winston he's helping get the girls out" I said Brad looks up confused "That guy was a fucking prick while I was in there, what would make him want to help?" He questions in disgust of the thought of him I sigh "Well....surprise, surprise he wants Janelle and Richelle to get married" I replied Parker's face forms into a scowl, "What the fuck?" He says in a shocked tone "Okay the wedding is in three days we have time to plan this thoroughly without any slip-ups he said this wedding is a masquerade ball I'll try and find her on the dance floor while Wayne and Parker you'll both look for the girls, Reece you're going to find the generator we have a ten minute window max to sneak them out before the backup generator comes on and Liam you'll watch out for Jace's movements" I said Brad than follows saying "I spoke to Cameron over the phone wasn't expecting me to be alive but he's managed t
Rose's Pov: I get up opening the doorknob seething in anger while I start talking to myself "Don't get back into old habits just stay calm" I say to myself as I'm too wrapped up in my own thoughts I run into Michael "Sorry I didn't see where I was going" I said He then grabbed me by the arm suddenly and dragged me down the hallway "I was looking for you we need to have a one on one" he said eyes full of hatred 'Fuck I don't want to be in the same fucking room as him alone!' I thought As he locks both doors in the room my only exits besides the window which would require my death from the height of this building which I pass in fact but when I look at his soulless black eyes as my body trembles in cold fear I'm actually considering jumping out of the building. He stands arms folded leaning on his desk "Now Roselle let me make something clear if you ever threaten my son again I won't hesitate to kill everyone around you and make you watch you are his fiancee you are to stand there,
