Rose's POVAs I entered the cabin, warmth enveloped me. The interior was adorned with carefully crafted wooden furniture, creating a cozy and rustic ambiance. Sunlight poured in through the windows, casting gentle rays upon the room's wooden floors.Linda motioned for me to take a seat on a comfortable cushioned chair near a crackling fireplace. The flames danced and crackled, casting a soft glow that illuminated the room. The aroma of freshly brewed herbal tea filled the air, mingling with the earthy scent of the cabin."I'll make us some tea," Linda offered, disappearing into a well-equipped kitchen area. The clinking of porcelain and the bubbling of boiling water accompanied her movements.As she returned with two steaming mugs, she settled into an adjacent chair, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "So, Rose, this is my home. What do you think?"I settled into the cushioned chair, feeling its plush comfort embrace me. Glancing around the cabin, I took in the intricate details of
Rose's POVAs I heard them talk about me, I couldn't shake off the feeling of dread that settled over me like a heavy fog. Linda, my closest friend and now savior, was discussing something about me with a stranger, someone I hadn't even met yet. What had I done to warrant their concern? I understand they are concerned but they didn't even see me before concluding. I wanted to burst into the room, demand answers, and dispel whatever doubts they harbored.However, a part of me hesitated. It felt like eavesdropping, invading their private conversation. Still, the urge to uncover the truth gnawed at me relentlessly. With a resolute sigh, I swung my legs over the side of the bed, slipped into my slippers, and quietly tiptoed toward the closed door.As I approached, the voices grew clearer, and I strained to catch every word. Linda's voice held a note of reassurance, her tone soothing and empathetic. "I understand your concerns, but she's been through so much that neither you nor I know a
Rose's POVAs we reached the center of the Nedan community, the tension in the air thickened. Word of my alleged involvement in Linda's disappearance had spread like wildfire, and curious onlookers lined the streets, their eyes filled with judgment and curiosity."How could she do that? Didn't she just arrive a few days ago?” A woman said, holding a basket in her hands, alongside another woman, looking at me scornfully.The men escorting me led me to a makeshift town hall, a modest building constructed from weathered wood and stone. Inside, the room was abuzz with hushed conversations and murmurs, interrupted only by the occasional thud of a gavel from the front.The leader of the community sat with the executives on a table on the podium, his weathered face etched with lines of concern. As I entered, the room fell into a hushed silence. All eyes were on me, their gazes piercing my soul."Miss Rose," the man's voice boomed through the room, filled with authority. "You stand accused of
Rose's POVI stumbled back, fear growing inside me as I wondered what sort of fabricated evidence he had. The leader motioned for him to come up and he did. With a wave of the leader's hand the man began to speak, "Thank you, sir," the man said, his voice quivering with a mix of anticipation and nervousness. He held out a folded piece of paper in his trembling hands. "I found this in Linda's cabin this morning. It's a note, and it might provide some insight into her disappearance."Curiosity and apprehension hung in the air as the man approached the podium and handed the note to the man. The leader carefully unfolded it and began to read aloud."'My dearest Linda, I cannot bear this secret any longer. Meet me at the old oak tree by the river tonight. We must talk. It is urgent.' Signed, Anonymous."Gasps filled the room, and all eyes turned toward me. The weight of suspicion settled upon me once again, threatening to crush me under its burden. The accusation felt like a dagger to the
Rose's POV"It is no one other than him," she said, pointing at the leader, the one who led the gathering, led the community, and made the majority of the decisions. The room fell silent once again, all eyes turning toward the accused leader. His face contorted with a mix of shock, anger, and denial."You're accusing me? Me?" he retorted, his voice laced with disbelief. "I have dedicated my life to this community, to its well-being. How dare you make such baseless accusations?"Linda's eyes narrowed as she stared directly into his. "I saw your true colors, the darkness that lies beneath your façade of leadership. You wanted to maintain control, and you saw me as a threat, someone who could expose your reign of manipulation."The crowd exchanged glances, their expressions torn between loyalty and doubt. The leader had earned their trust and admiration over the years, but the weight of Linda's words lingered, challenging their perception.Another voice spoke up, belonging to an elderly
Rose's POV "No, Rose, he didn't lay a hand on me. But he made it clear that he wouldn't hesitate if I resisted. He forced me to follow him and led me outside. As we walked toward his vehicle, I noticed a glimmer of recognition in his eyes. It was as if he knew something about your past, something I couldn't understand." Linda quickly explained and I sighed in relief.Finn's grip tightened on my hand, his eyes filled with concern. "What did you now do, Linda?""I knew I had to find a way to protect you, Rose. As we reached the destination, he handed me over to some men and then he left but before he did, he handed me a check. He said it was compensation and the men should release me after two days."After he left, the man he handed me to held me with a strong grip, and to escape, I pretended to stumble, causing the man to let go of me for a moment. In that split second, I mustered all the strength I had left and ran into the dense forest. I could hear him cursing and chasing after me,
Rose's POV I forced a weak smile, desperately trying to suppress the rising sickness. "I think I just need some fresh air," I managed to say, my words strained."Let us leave you to rest," one of the women said and they all stood up to leave."Thank you for coming," Linda and I said to them as we saw them off and after they left, I couldn't help but retch."Are you sure you're okay?” Linda asked again and I nodded, "I guess it's pregnancy sickness kicking in."Linda nodded, understanding evident in her eyes. "Come on, let's step outside. The cool breeze might help."With gentle support, Linda guided me toward the open door. I stumbled outside, the crisp afternoon air hitting my face, providing a momentary respite from the suffocating feeling that had overwhelmed me.But as I stepped back into the room, my steps faltered, and the contents of the tray in my hands threatened to spill over. I hurriedly placed the tray on a nearby table and instinctively clutched my stomach, feeling a wave
Rose's POV"I don't know, Rose. I think you can. It shouldn't affect the baby in any way. Just be careful," She said and hid from me, both of us clearly feeling shy about what to do. But as their moans intensified, I couldn't sleep and my imagination was filled with Hottie's hot body.I took off my pajama shorts and opened my legs wide, gradually I traced my fingers down to my core, feeling my warmth and moistness.As I tentatively explored my own body, a mix of curiosity and arousal wash over me. The sensations were new and foreign, but also undeniably pleasurable. My mind wandered back to Hottie and the passion I witnessed earlier. I wondered what it would feel like to experience that kind of ecstasy.Trying to focus on the moment, I began to slowly move my fingers in gentle circles, feeling the tender flesh respond to my touch. Waves of pleasure rippled through me, awakening desires I had never fully explored before. It was a delicate dance between self-discovery and a hint of guil
