Rose's POVPanic seized me as I realized I was no longer in the comfortable hotel room where I had fallen asleep.The air felt heavy and oppressive, devoid of the familiarity I had grown accustomed to. The room was shrouded in an eerie silence, broken only by the faint sound of distant footsteps echoing through the empty space.I fumbled for a light switch, desperately seeking to banish the darkness that seemed to suffocate me. But my efforts were in vain, as no illumination came forth. Fear tightened its grip on my heart, causing it to race with trepidation."Sienna?" I called out, my voice quivering with apprehension. The silence was my only response, deepening my sense of unease. Where was she? How had I ended up in this strange, foreboding place?With cautious steps, I navigated the room, my hands outstretched to feel for any clues, any indication of where I was. The surface beneath my feet felt cold and unyielding, unlike the comforting carpeting of the hotel room.Suddenly, a fai
Rose's POV Finding my voice, I finally spoke up. "This is not your master! She's my cousin and she's here to save me, aren't you Sienna?" I asked, but she didn't respond, a wicked smile playing on her lips. "Sienna, are you their master?" I asked, hoping for a positive answer."Shut up and don't anger my master!" one of the men roared."Master? No, no, no, my cousin isn't your master. She's here to save me! Aren't you Sienna?” I asked refusing to believe she was capable of doing this.She smirked, "What do you think, Rose Moon? Am I capable of being their Master who wanted you dead all these years or not?"My mind reeled with confusion. How could Sienna be a part of this? Was this some twisted betrayal, or had circumstances forced her hand? I stared at her, searching for answers in her eyes, but they held a depth of pain that I had never seen before."This can't be possible. You're my cousin, why would you want me dead?” The hulking figure's gaze flickered with a mix of surprise an
Rose's POV"Hit her! Do whatever you want to her and that bastard child of hers. I don't give a fuck about her!" she snickered, pointing her middle finger at me.The mention of my child made me scared and I had no option but to beg, "Sienna please, not my child. He hasn't done anything to you. Please spare him.Sienna's wicked laugh filled the room and she turned to me afterward, "I don't care about you or the child, Rose. Get that into your skull. They are free to do whatever they want, so don't beg me!”The men closed in on me, their malicious grins sending shivers down my spine. They relished in the anticipation of inflicting pain, their sadistic desires fueling their every move. Fear tightened its grip around my heart, but I refused to let it consume me completely"Please," I begged, chanting it over and over again as they neared me. "Spare my child, please."Sienna watched from the shadows, her gaze fixed on the scene before her. Her once gentle eyes had transformed into icy orbs
Rose's POVAs I lay there, contemplating my dire situation, a noise caught my attention. The sound of footsteps approaching, growing louder with each passing second. My heart pounded in my chest, a flicker of hope emerging amidst the darkness. "Are they coming to torture me again?" I muttered, sobbing again.The door swung open, and my breath caught in my throat as I saw a figure step into the room. It was one of the men who had been part of my torment, his face twisted with malice. Fear coursed through my veins, but desperation overpowered it. I had to take a chance."Please," I managed to croak, my voice hoarse and strained. "Please, Mister, you have to help me."The man sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. "Help you? Why would I do that? You're nothing but a pawn in this game, Rose. A pawn that has outlived its usefulness. You're going to be here to do anything and everything my master, Sienna, wants."Tears welled in my eyes as I pleaded, my voice trembling with both fear and d
Rose's POVTo my surprise, it was just food– genuine, untainted sustenance. The flavors danced on my taste buds, providing a momentary respite from the torment I had endured.Relief washed over me as I realized Sienna hadn't poisoned the meal. I devoured the meal, nourishing my weakened body and allowing the food to fuel my child. As I finished the last morsel, a surge of strength coursed through my veins. I knew I couldn't rely solely on luck or the occasional respite Sienna granted me if I wanted to leave.If I want to escape, I need a plan and a helper but who would help me escape from here? And how am I sure they won't betray me in the future? I sat back on the floor, contemplating my options as the lingering taste of the meal still lingered in my mouth. With the room feeling slightly less suffocating now, my mind raced, searching for a way out of this prison.Lost in my thoughts, I hadn't noticed the sound of footsteps approaching until the heavy door swung open. Sienna entered
Rose's POV My heart hammered in my chest, my eyes widened in sheer terror, and my breaths came out in shallow gasps. The room seemed to close in around me, and the sound of Sienna's voice echoed in my ears. Panic surged through every fiber of my being, consuming me wholly."Sienna, please!" I begged, my voice trembling. "I beg you, don't do this. We can find another way, another solution. Killing me won't solve anything!"Sienna's icy gaze pierced through me, her lips curling into a sadistic grin. "Oh, Rose," she taunted, her voice dripping with malice. "You're still begging after all I've done. You've always been the naive one. There is no other way and you know that. Death is the only escape from me and this wretched existence. Unless you want to continue suffering.... which I am tired of seeing."Tears welled up in my eyes as the weight of desperation and helplessness bore down on me. "Sienna, please listen. I know you're hurting, and I know I and my parents have caused you and yo
Rose's POV"Yes, cousin. This is how it all ends,” she said, taking a matchbox."Sienna please, this is petrol and fire, don't do this please."She laughed wickedly, a matchbox in her arms. "Burn in hell, Rose Moon."As the darkness closed in, my vision blurred, and my breathing grew shallow. The men, one by one, left, leaving me and Sienna standing in the room. I struggled to speak, my voice barely a whisper. "Sienna... Why? Why would you do this? To this extent? We were family..."Sienna's eyes gleamed with a mixture of madness and triumph. "Family?" she scoffed, striking a match against the rough surface of the box. "Family is overrated, Rose. It's time for me to rise above you, to take what is rightfully mine."Terror coursed through my veins as Sienna dropped the flaming match onto a pool of petrol that she had poured around the room. Flames erupted, devouring everything in their path with a voracious hunger.I cried more as the crackling heat licked at my skin, causing more ag
"Good morning sir!” "What's the report on the girl?" The voice over the phone said and the man who placed the phone call gulped."Boss, I'm sorry but, we lost track of her!" The man said to the person over the phone and everywhere went silent, not even the men around him could breathe. "What do you mean you lost track of her?!" He asked coldly over the phone. "You lost her location but you know where she is or you lost both?""Boss, let me explain. We…”"Quiet!" The man roared and all the men flinched, bowing their heads to the man speaking over the phone. "I don't care what you do, or how you do it. But I want you to find that girl for me, alive or dead!” he ordered and hung up. The man in casual clothes, known as Striker, felt a heavy weight descend upon him as the call ended. He clenched his teeth and fists, feeling the weight of the mistake he made.He knew that losing track of the girl was a grave mistake, one that could have dire consequences. He turned to his team, a group o
