"Who are you? Why do you have all these documents?" Clark demanded, beginning to question The Rose's motives. This person was truly unexpected."I want to help you," came the cold response. This time, he started approaching Clark, who had lowered his weapon."First, remove that mask!" ordered Clark, choosing to step back on guard. He still didn't fully trust The Rose. It could be a trap, as usual."Alright..." he said, then removed that black mask, and..."A-are you...""Yes, indeed. I am Braun Rossie, son of Abigail Rossie."Clark was shocked and incredulous. How could this happen? The man... Braun? The only son of Abigail Rossie?Clark was increasingly curious about the reasons behind the young master's betrayal."Sir, if you're sane, why betray your own mother?" This time, Clark approached and sat in the prepared chair.His face demanded rational answers from the young master he knew.Braun
Arren Rossie heard the news of the terrible accident that befell Clark through a heart-wrenching text message.Without hesitation, he rushed out of the luxurious mansion and headed to the hospital where Clark was being treated.Despite being closely guarded by the security personnel, Arren didn't miss the chance to be with Clark during such a critical time."We're almost there, Miss.""Please, hurry!"Arren's face looked pale with impatience, wanting to know the condition of Clark, who was reportedly affected by an explosion.In fear, Arren continued to pray, hoping Clark's life could be saved.Upon arriving at the hospital, Arren quickly ran through the deserted hallways. It was the early hours, and the hospital was very quiet."Clark, please..." Arren whispered while continuing to hasten his steps.In that sterile hospital, every second felt like a very long and precious time.Arren truly pra
After waiting for a day and a night, Clark finally slowly opened his eyes.Arren was unaware that Clark had awakened from the quite intense coma. She had fallen asleep unconsciously by Clark's side, still holding onto the man's hand, which was growing warmer.The gentle morning light touched her face, and a smile appeared as Clark realized the presence of someone sleeping on the side of the bed.That person was Arren; Clark could recognize the gentle touch of her hands that had been holding on tirelessly since last night.Clark thought he might be hallucinating that someone was always crying when he hadn't opened his eyes. Clark didn't feel like he had someone who would be sad if he were gone.The faint scent of roses continued to accompany Clark since he was in the realm of dreams.The scent reminded Clark of someone, but it couldn't be possible. That person was an unspoken love interest that he had been chasing after.
Abigail Rossie is a 50-year-old woman with a captivating appearance, though full of deception. Her long brunette hair cascades stiffly down to her shoulders, resembling an unseen brown crown. Her eyes, similar in color, sparkle dangerously, instilling fear in her enemies.Not just for her looks, but for the cunning of her mind. Behind the apparent luxury and grace, Abigail is a master of intrigue and real tactics. Her somewhat serene face, adorned with hidden wrinkles, reveals signs of age and experience.Abigail's lips always smile but are full of deceit, concealing ambitions and dark goals in her mind."We demand to meet the Madam Rossie. Allow us to entry!" Abigail's exclaimed, facing the security captain at the gate.The security captain, a large-bodied man, seemed to halt the uninvited important guests."Stop! No one enters without the Madam's permission."Madam Rossie, unaware of the commotion outside, remained composed. Her private servant just reported another protest at their
Arren heard about the plan to overthrow her grandmother's power and became increasingly anxious."How is this?" she murmured while biting her nails.Arren had made a vague commitment to protect Rossie when pledging, but she had no concrete plan. Her aide, Shane, was still weak from the election, as was Clark, the loyal guard. Arren felt alone and lacked definite support."Grandchild, what troubles you?" suddenly asked the Madam, appearing at the door. She saw Arren looking gloomy in front of her dressing table."Oh, Grandmother, how are you?" Arren asked, quickly fixing her appearance. She didn't want her grandmother to worry more by seeing her distress."I'm fine, and you? Why the gloom? It's such a bright morning," teased the grandmother, then entered Arren's room. Her graceful steps led her toward her beloved granddaughter. Madam seemed to know what was troubling Arren."Calm down, everything will be okay," said the Madam softly, kissing her granddaughter's forehead."Grandmother,"
"How's the plan?" Abigail asked with a tense expression. She glanced briefly at Mrs. Andersen, who seemed to lack a well-thought-out plan."Trust me, this voting will be very useful!" she said with full confidence.The Rossie Council plays a crucial role in decision-making for the Rossie region. They have the authority to determine various aspects of governance, including policies, budgets, and the appointment of leaders.Mrs. Andersen, the council chair, could freely introduce voting agendas in important meetings and maneuver them to achieve the desired outcome. It was all quite straightforward, as long as there was a price to pay.Despite some hesitation, Abigail couldn't reject her colleague's plan. She truly needed to seize the leadership position immediately, or Arren could become an unbeatable rival."Arren turns 20 next week. We have to move quickly unless we want to be rejected outright by this cursed law!" Abigail grumbled, lighting her cigarette.The middle-aged woman sighed
The morning sun bathes Mansion Rossie in warmth. Madam Rossie sits on the front terrace, peacefully sipping Earl Grey tea.She gazes at her beautiful garden, waiting for Arren to finish dressing up. They plan to stroll together before Arren's new tutor arrives at 10 a.m.The debate class with Mr. William is scheduled in two hours. They still have time to chat and enjoy the morning before Arren dives into her routine studies."Madam! Madam!" The head servant, abandoning etiquette, rushes towards her."What's happening on this beautiful morning?" Madam Rossie inquires, her eyebrow raised, surprised by the unusual behavior."Ma'am, sorry! It's an emergency!""Jess, calm yourself. What's going on?""Madam! Abigail... she..."The head servant quickly hands over today's newspaper. On the front page is a portrait of Abigail with a prominent golden rose flag.The headline 'New Leader of Rossie, the Golden Lady!' dominates various print media today, shaking the peace of the morning for everyon
Currently, Abigail Rossie feels triumphant, as if flying in the sky."Oh, beautiful chairs, beautiful tables, you all finally belong to me! Ha... Ha... Ha..." echoes of laughter resonate in her luxurious and grand room.Abigail is now the happiest woman in the world.The death of her husband and two children doesn't diminish her happiness. Abigail is truly a devil, seamlessly merging with precision like a perfect alien creature.With a satisfied smile on her face, Abigail begins to devise tactics and strategies to perpetuate her power.These steps are minor compared to her ultimate goal of draining the wealth of Rossie to its roots."Next, to expel that old lady from the Mansion... Ha... ha... ha..."The leadership change has gone as smoothly as she hoped. Abigail just needs to take one final action to complete her revenge.Abigail is an ambitious woman. She always wants more, and being the leader of this region is not her ultimate goal.Expelling the Grand Lady and her useless niece
