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 sit there nibbling my lip while I hear chuckles from Jace and Michael about the wedding talking about funny speeches, I just feel sick to the gut and want to get Richelle, Janelle, and I out of here faster. "So what do you think about this one sweetheart?" Sasha asks interfering with my thoughts "Hm?" I hum while looking up at her Then she smiles while pointing down at this dress on a magazine I nod slightly, "Yeah nice" I say defeated she glances behind her not enough so Jace or Michael notices "What's wrong?" She asks I look up and sigh "Sasha I don't know if I can even go through with this wedding" I explain in a hushed whisper She furrows her eyebrows as I continue "The only reason I'm going through with it is that he has two of my friends here he's.....using them as leverage" I finally finished speaking she looks up to my eyes "Sweetheart you know what this is don't you...." she said while pointing out the brand I have on my collarbone. I nod "I can't tell y
Rose's Pov:"Jace please don't do this I'll never forgive you if you do" I state scared for Janelle as she's struggling against the restraints 'This is what he does he will make sure to torture, not just the person getting the pain but the ones that care most about them he is sadistic like that always has been a sadist ever since his father took him away for those two weeks I hadn't seen him came back changed'. "Well this is going to teach you to not defy me" he sneered and as I went to get up as Richelle started crying "No stop don't do this do it to me not her" she exclaimed flailing in Winston's hold 'Winston even looked guilty watching this unfold' That was something I had never seen on his face as I long as I knew him "Jace isn't this a bit much" Winston states looking at what he was grabbing from the box in slight horror while Chad stood their like the emotionless piece of shit he is. "No because my wife needs to learn her place to shut up and follow the fucking rules" Jace
Rose's Pov;I sit there in silence Shocked about everything that I've just read from the letter I found on Janelle, Richelle's mouth is moving but I can not hear her is this what it feels like to be in shock?, she looks at me with pity on her face an emotion I know all too well. "How long have you had that letter?" I questioned She replied guilty "A couple of hours...." My jaw clenched in anger "And in that time you couldn't have looked around for me? my father is alive, my stepbrothers are a part of my cousin's murder which one I don't know and to top that off this was all Jace's plan a sick sadistic fuck to try and get to me by getting to my family...!" I replied "Well sorry I was locked in a fucking basement and only just got out before we got dragged up here and your ex fiancee battered my sister" She spat Than she goes quiet and I start to feel bad as does she I rub my temples taking a deep breath In "I'm sorry Chelle" I said "Me too" She replied "We need to get one of thos
Rose's Pov:After practically being stuck in the torture room for a whole day and having the medic take away Janelle to the room we were let out but monitored it had been about three weeks and I could roam the house freely without him being on my case. 3 hours before:"Really Rose oh my god," Janelle says while facepalming "Well what else do we do Einstein!" I exclaimed throwing my arms up in the air dramatically "I hate to say it Janelle but Rose is right as your sister I think it's best" she sighed saying this in defeat She nodded "Fine," she said defeated as we came to an agreement. I nod "okay plan is you distract Chad and Winston keeping them away next I will fiddle with the wiring near the generator, lights go out necklace taken, and then when the lights turn on keys scanned and printed don't forget the steps. Present: Richelle's Pov:'Okay, how hard can it be to distract them both' I say in thought biting my lip, I look up at Janelle "What do men like?" I ask smirking
Rose's Pov:I hold my hip rubbing the bruise that's starting to unravel from my fall? "Good job Rose you really know your reflex's" I wince as I walk towards the door. I slowly creak it open looking around as rain starts to pour rapidly outside hitting the earth's ground. I scrape past the door frame slowly closing the door trying to not make a sound as the darkness haunts the hallways of the house I grab my phone putting the torch on looking around, 'Where the hell is Jace's office again' I sigh in frustration as I hear heavy footsteps coming my way. "Jack! The power isn't up and running yet" I hear Jace yell "Fuck" I whisper under my breath running into a random room shutting the door breathing out a sigh of relief, I look around my surroundings my torch gliding around at the contents of the room and my face pales at the sight, I walk and what I'm faced with makes me sick to my stomach a massive wall full of photos and documents scattered and pinned to the wall I walk over there
Rose's Pov:I sit on the bed and I haven't said a word I haven't eaten anything I'm just sitting on the edge voices coming from one ear and out the other. "What now? Rose! Rose snap out of it" Janelle says clicking her fingers in front of my face as I'm zoning out 'Ryder..killed..Felicity' "Richelle she's not snapping out of it!" She yelled grabbing my face, and the next words that come out of my mouth I wasn't expecting "I'm marrying Jace." I said staring into space Richelle gets up "What are you saying why? we need to get out of here!" She asks in desperation. "I made a deal...you can leave on your own accord but I'm staying" I said looking at them no emotion set on my face "What..." Janelle says "Ryder, Parker" I began than winced "Wayne what they did is unforgiving I'm not going to be able to look at them the same way after what I have seen on that video" I replied "What do you mean video?" Richelle questions. I look up chucking the camera to them Janelle caught it and sta
Rose's Pov: I sit in the room still In shock I've locked the door and have refused to come out I go into the wardrobe to get changed as I reach up I knock on the wardrobe accidentally and something falls at my feet. "Ow god what is this?" I exclaim as I knelt down and picked it up I furrow my eyebrows as I flip open the album I look at photo's of me and Jace as I walk back over to the bed and sit down as I slowly start flipping through the pages I look at some of the photos that bring up good memories but I came to one and I paused and started to have a flashback of that horrific day... Two Years Ago: "Jace, how long are you going to be?" I ask afraid looking at these people in front of me He smiles "Not long just have some things to organize okay.." he replied I sigh and nod as he kisses the top of my head and goes inside as the security shut the door, I'm now stuck with four men and I gulp but as I'm about to get back in the car. I'm grabbed from behind and yanked backward "
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,
