CHAPTER 4

"Who the hell are you?" he requested arrogantly after sizing her up from head to toe.

"I... I'm new..."

."James, that is Rose Becker, your new non-public maid," Penelope stated.

A daJAish glint formed in his eyes as though he had just exposed her daJAest mystery. He said nothing, and Penelope led her away from his room.

His cellphone commenced ringing. He checked the caller id and saw 'Viper' displayed. He spoke back the call.

"Boss, she has arrived in Rome, and her project has all started," Viper reported earlier than James ended the decision.

He observed a silver bracelet on the ground—in reality, it had fallen from the maid's wrist. He picked it up, and a daJA glint fashioned in his eyes.

"game on," he said with a sadistic smiJA on his lips.

Penelope escorted Rose to her room. It turned into already late, and Penelope knew Rose needed her beauty sleep. She would want all her electricity to deal with that twisted brat.

"Get a few sleep, Rose," Penelope said with a grin.

Rose nodded. "Goodnight, Granny Penelope," she said earlier than coming into her room and closing the door.

Rose questioned how a person so kind and quality had grown to be entangled with that satan’s spawn. She took out her cell phone and texted Chain James's full call. She lay on her mattress, and it took an additional hour before she could go to sleep.

……

"I recognize you need to feel quite tired, however the younger grasp rises with the sun. in case you intend to take care of his desires, you must upward thrust even earlier, or possibly you’re now not cut out for the task," Penelope drawled.

It turned into exactly four a.m., and Rose couldn’t see the point in becoming a hawk only for that merciless guy.

However, she consoled herself with the fact that she needed this process. Chain had also provided to pay her $2 million upon a hit completion, which could be sufficient to give her some breathing room.

Rose may want to barely hold her eyes open; even a blind guy might see she changed into sleep-disadvantaged.

Penelope handed her a tray with warm coffee and omelets.

"make certain you serve this to him," she said, and Rose nodded.turned into there any way she ought to just poison this guy herself? The activity could be completed quicker if she did.

Rose bit her lip as the idea wreaked havoc in her mind.She exited the elevator and reached the front of his room after some more seconds. She gulped nervously earlier than knocking on his door, but there has been no response. She knocked 3 more instances, nevertheless receiving no reply.Rose gulped once more before establishing the door, finding herself in a daJA room. She imagined bats may maintain meetings there. turned into him still asleep? She bit her tongue to save you herself from scoffing.

Her feet padded softly at the floor as she made her manner to the table and lightly positioned the tray down.

She couldn’t see the mattress and wasn’t positive if she changed into alone inside the room. She didn’t care; she simply wanted to get out.She unexpectedly grew to become and headed for the door, but as she tried to open it, his loud voice resounded in her ear.

"Who said you can depart?" he asked from behind her, and Rose felt like her coronary heart would soar to her throat.She grew to become slow and noticed his silhouette at the back of her. How had he gotten so near without her noticing?

"precise morning, Mr. Plank," Rose greeted politely, without delay breaking eye contact when she couldn’t face up to the intensity.

"I didn’t understand you have been right here; everything is so… daJA," she muttered, even though it turned loud enough for him to listen.

He saved looking at her.She took a step lower back from him. Did he understand her from their stumble upon the membership? He had been among her legs; her face became red, and he or she changed into satisfied the lights were off. He could have seen her flushed cheeks otherwise.

"who're you?" he asked, inspecting her as though she were a specimen."My call is Rose Becker, and I'm Italian," Rose said, fidgeting. The manner he stared at her made her feel as if she would possibly drop useless at any moment.

Rose shifted backwards till she again changed into pressed in opposition to the door.

"o.k., Rose, however, know this: if I discover any insincerity or false play, I can crush you myself. Understood?" His voice changed into raw and deep, affecting every part of Rose's senses. It screamed threat, and running for her existence appeared like the quality option now.He stared deeply into her soul, and Rose nodded as his gaze demanded a solution.

"Go away," James said, placing more distance between them.Rose at once bolted out of the room, panting nervously. rattling, he turned horrifying.

a person with blood-crimson hair and similar purple eyes made his way beyond the grand door of the mansion.

"In which is James?" he asked a maid who was passing by.

"Lord James is in his take a look at, sir," she spoke back. He nodded and headed in that direction.He went for the elevator, however the door opened to show a lovely damsel who changed into seemingly... a maid?His black boots swept throughout the ground, and inside mins, he arrived at James's have a look at.

James changed into a white long-sleeve shirt, black free pants, and black boots. His tall determination stood in front of the window as he smoked leisurely.

"I failed to understand you have been hiring models to be your maids now," Cole teased.

James grew to observe him together with his bored, tired eyes.Cole Grealish may want to boldly say he had by no means seen lifestyles in the ones eyes.

"Why are you right here?" James requested nonchalantly. Cole smiJAed.

"I have been receiving calls and distressed messages due to the fact that we changed ships," Cole said.

James persevered to stare at him as a thick frown settled on his face.

The middle of the night got here too quickly for Rose as she became uncomfortably in her bed. It becomes the identical nightmare once more: the haunting memory of her dad and mom's vehicle twist of fate.

"No!!!!" Rose yelled as she woke completely, beads of sweat dotting her brow as she held the sheets tightly. The trauma usually hit tougher than earlier.She scrambled out of bed, wearing a skinny black singlet and jean shorts.

    Rose woke up panting, her heart racing as she realized it was already morning a new day indeed! The remnants of her nightmare clung to her like a heavy fog. Years ago, she had been in the car with her parents when the accident occurred. She made it out with only a few injuries, but her parents never did, leaving her and her sister Jennie alone. It was a tragic night that haunted her dreams, and now, waking up alone in a strange mansion only intensified those feelings of loss.Knock, knock!Someone was knocking on the door nonstop. “Oops, I’m sorry! Where has my manner gone to?” a voice called out as Rose opened the door. It was Andrew, a young man with an easy smile and an air of mischief.“Madam Penelope said I should show you around the mansion,” he said, his enthusiasm infectious. “Since you’re new, you need to meet the other maids and get to know them. Come on!”Rose hesitated for a moment. “I don’t need an introduction,” she replied, trying to sound more confident than she felt.

    “Stop, please!” The desperate voice echoed through the mansion, pulling Rose from her thoughts and sending a chill down her spine. Determined to uncover the source of the commotion, she flung her door open and tiptoed down the stairs, her heart pounding in her chest.As she reached the bottom step, she froze at the sight before her. In the sitting room, a group of men dressed in black formed a tight circle around James, who stood in the center, a pistol gripped tightly in his hand. At his feet lay a half-conscious man, bloodied and bruised, struggling to breathe.“Please spare my brother, boss! Have mercy on him! Give him a second chance!” the man pleaded, his voice trembling as he clutched his brother’s limp body.James's expression was cold and unyielding as he leveled the gun at the pleading man. “Just one task, and he failed. Do you know what I do to incapable people?”“You kill them, sir,” the man replied, his voice barely above a whisper.“And do you know what I do to people who

    Alessandro Plank stood in the shadows of the dimly lit room, his heart racing as he listened to the muffled voices outside. The tension in the air was thick, and he could feel it pressing down on him like a weight. He had always been the quieter twin, content to let James take center stage in their father’s eyes. But tonight was different. Tonight, everything was at stake.He glanced at the wall clock, its ticking echoing ominously in the silence. It was almost midnight. The meeting with their father and the other mafia leaders had dragged on longer than expected, and Alessandro felt a gnawing sense of unease. Something was off.“James, you need to listen to me,” a voice broke through the door, pulling Alessandro from his thoughts. It was their father, Daniel Plank. “We can’t keep ignoring the threats from bloody sons. He’s not going to wait for us to make our move.”“Father, I know what I’m doing,” James replied, his voice laced with irritation. Alessandro could picture his brother’s

    “What do you know?” James’s voice cut through the tension like a knife, his eyes boring into Rose with an intensity that made her heart race. She had overheard the conversation about Alessandro, but she couldn’t bring herself to admit it.“I… I don’t know anything,” she stammered, trying to sound convincing. “I was just walking by and stepped on something. I didn’t hear anything, sir.”“Don’t make me repeat myself,” he warned, his tone low and dangerous.Rose swallowed hard, her mind racing. She had heard enough to piece together the tragedy that had unfolded the loss of James’s twin brother. But revealing that she knew anything at all felt like stepping into a minefield.James took a step back, his expression shifting as he processed her words. “You should be careful where you step,” he said coldly before walking away, leaving Rose trembling in the aftermath of their encounter.“Wait… he just lost his twin?” Rose thought, a pang of sympathy washing over her. Despite the fear that gri

"We don't have until the morning." We will attack tonight, taking the alternate path. "We strike first before they reach us."James, who was next to him, remarked, “This is our sole opportunity. Get ready your arms.

"It's a gamble, yet it might succeed." We’ll deploy a smaller group to surround them amidst the confusion. Just ensure tha

    The mansion was enveloped in a heavy silence, the previous uproar substituted by a tense calm. The men drifted like phantoms, caring for their injuries and murmuring to one another. The atmosphere was thick with doubt, and Rose couldn’t shake off James’s words."Not even you."She perched on the side of her bed, gazing vacantly at the ground. Her mind was a storm of anxiety and remorse. The threats from the chain, the treachery of the traitor, the ambush—it was all overwhelming. For an instant, she thought about fleeing, abandoning all that she knew. But to where would she go? And what would occur with her sister?Her phone vibrated once more, interrupting her train of thought. It was yet another message from Chain:"Have you alerted them?" Remember what is on the line, Rose. "One false step, and she's lost."Rose tightened her fists, her irritation boiling up. She felt the urge to scream, to shatter the phone she held, yet she realized it wouldn’t resolve anything.James reclined in

    The atmosphere brimmed with unease as James and Cole made their way out of the mansion beneath the darkness of night. The courtyard was hauntingly quiet, the gentle crunch of their boots on gravel the sole noise. The Bloody Sons had been unyielding, and James realized they weren't done yet. He clenched his weapon firmly, and his senses heightened.“They've encircled us,” Cole whispered, his tone quiet. His keen gaze swept the treeline, noticing the subtle shimmer of activity.James nodded, his demeanor serious. “Remain alert.” "They're anticipating our mistake."Before he could continue speaking, a gunshot echoed, breaking the silence. Chaos erupted. Figures emerged from the shadows, their weapons blazing.

    The atmosphere in the room was oppressive. James's hold on Rose's neck was strong yet not suffocating, his dark gaze piercing into hers like sharp blades. His voice was a deep rumble, tinged with anger and doubt.“Reveal who it is, Rose,” he insisted. “Are you collaborating with them?” "Do you belong to this?"Tears filled Rose’s eyes while her mind frantically sought an escape. The reality would ruin her. The deception she had devised needed to be perfect, or James’s fury would engulf her. Her voice quivered while she spoke.“I—I have no idea who it is,” she faltered, her voice trembling yet intentional. "The phone calls began yesterday." I inquired about their identity and how they obtained my number, but they remained silent. “They simply ended the call.”James's jaw clenched, and his eyes became more focused. His hold around her neck remained tight. "And what about today?" The vase for flowers? The photograph?Rose's voice trembled as she nodded, tears running down her cheeks. "Th

    The drive back to the mansion was quiet. The tension from the fight still lingered in the air, but the reality of what had just happened weighed heaviest on Rose. She sat in the backseat between James and Cole, her fingers intertwined tightly as she stared at them.James noticed the way her hands trembled. He reached over, covering her fingers with his own. "You okay?"She hesitated before answering. "I don’t know," she admitted. "I feel… different."Cole, who sat on her other side, exhaled. "That’s because you are different now, Rose," he said. "Taking a life changes you. Whether you like it or not."Rose turned to him, searching his face for some kind of reassurance. "How do you deal with it?"Cole smirked slightly but there was no humor in his eyes. "You don’t. You just learn to live with it."James squeezed her hand. "You saved my life, Rose. You saved us. That doesn’t make you a monster."She nodded slowly, but her mind was still spinning. The image of Kane falling to the ground,

"Cole, I need you to think this through. This isn’t just some street fight. Kane has been planning this for years."Cole sighed, placing his hands on her shoulders. "I know. And that’s why I have to go."She shook her head. "You can’t just walk into a trap. There has to be a plan."A man in the room, Logan, one of James’s most trusted allies, spoke up. "She’s right, boss. We need to be smart about this."Cole exhaled, running a hand through his hair. "Fine. What do we know?"The man who had escaped the ambush stepped forward. "I overheard some of Kane’s men talking. They took them to an abandoned warehouse on the east side of town."Logan nodded. "That makes se

    James groaned as he drifted back to consciousness. His head throbbed painfully, and for a moment, everything was a blur. His body felt heavy, his movements sluggish.As his vision cleared, he realized he was in an unfamiliar room. The walls were concrete, the air damp and cold. His wrists were bound to the chair he was sitting on, thick ropes digging into his skin.Damn it...He tried to move, but his muscles ached. How long had he been out?Then, the memories hit him. The shopping trip. The ambush. The fight.Rose.His head snapped up as he scanned the room. She wasn’t there. His heart pounded against his ribs. Where was she? Was she safe?The sound of footsteps echoed from outside. The heavy door creaked open, and a figure stepped in.The same man who had confronted him outside the store.James clenched his jaw as the man walked closer, a smirk plastered on his face."Finally awake, are we?" he taunted.

    James sat on the balcony, still deep in conversation with Cole. They had spent the last half hour discussing their strategy for the upcoming housewarming event. Though it was meant to be a joyous occasion, they both knew it could turn into a battlefield at any moment.James exhaled sharply, running a hand over his face. "I hate that we have to think this way. I should be looking forward to this party, not planning for a potential bloodbath."Cole leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "That’s the life we have, James. We don’t get to have normal celebrations. Not when we have enemies lurking in every shadow."James nodded, but his mind was elsewhere. A nagging feeling crept into his chest, and he found himself glancing toward the stairs."Rose didn’t look good when she went up," he murmured.Cole followed his gaze. "You should check on her."James didn’t need to be told twice. He placed his glass on the table and rose to his feet. "I’ll be back."Upstairs, Rose lay unconsciou

    The celebration in James’ mansion continued late into the night. The clinking of glasses, soft laughter, and warm conversations filled the air. Rose and Penelope sat together, admiring the diamond ring on Rose’s finger.“It’s beautiful,” Penelope murmured, turning Rose’s hand under the dim glow of the chandelier. “James really went all out.”Rose smiled, but there was a flicker of hesitation in her eyes.Penelope caught it immediately. “What’s wrong?”Rose exhaled, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “Nothing… it’s just… James surprises me more and more every day. I thought I knew everything about him, but I keep realizing there’s so much I don’t.”Penelope smirked. “Welcome to James’ world. He’s full of secrets, but when he loves, he loves deeply. And he loves you, Rose.”Rose’s heart squeezed at those words. Did James really love her? Could he? With everything going on, did he even have space for love?Meanwhile, James and Cole sat across the room, discussing their next m

    The grand estate of Mr. David stood under the dimming evening sky, a fortress of wealth and power. Inside, the tension was palpable. Mr. David sat on his luxurious leather couch, his fingers tapping impatiently on the armrest. His sharp eyes followed his son, Bruno, as he sparred with one of the trainers in the courtyard. Beside him, his wife, Greta, watched with pride, clapping excitedly every time Bruno landed a decent hit.“That's my son! You’re doing great, Bruno,” she cheered, smiling at him.Bruno tried to stay focused, but his father’s expressionless face unsettled him. He threw a final punch, stepping back to catch his breath, before looking toward his father, searching for approval. But all he saw was disappointment.Mr. David exhaled sharply and shook his head. “I’m sick and tired of your son, Greta,” he muttered. “He’s been learning the same thing for weeks, yet there’s no improvement. I don’t have time for this nonsense.”Greta’s smile faltered, and Bruno’s grip on his glo

    Later that evening, Rose found herself standing in front of Penelope’s door. Taking a deep breath, she knocked lightly before pushing the door open.Penelope looked up from where she was seated on the bed, her expression softening when she saw Rose. “Hey, Rose. Come in.”Rose walked in hesitantly, her fingers fidgeting at her side. She felt restless, confused, and above all, uneasy.“You look like you have a lot on your mind,” Penelope observed.Rose sighed, sitting beside her. “It’s James. He’s been acting so strangely.”Penelope chuckled. “That’s not new. He has his moments.”“No,” Rose insisted. “It’s different this time. Earlier, I saw him sketching. He was completely lost in it, like he had done it for years.”Penelope’s smile faded, her brows furrowing slightly. “James? Sketching?”“Yes.” Rose nodded. “I don’t think so, he doesn’t know how to sketch. I know his twin brother was an artist”. Penelope said as she held Rose's hand. “But what I saw today… James was too good. He was

    James sat in the darkness of his room, his thoughts drowning him. The ghosts of his past had never left him, they lingered in the corners of his mind, whispering memories he tried to forget.He stared blankly at the shattered vase on the floor, his breathing still uneven from the outburst he had moments ago. His fingers curled into a fist. He had lost control again.Standing up, he ran a hand through his hair and walked toward the far end of his room. The bookshelf there looked ordinary, but it was more than just a piece of furniture, it was a doorway. With a simple press against the wooden panel, a soft click sounded, and the hidden door slid open, revealing a narrow hallway leading into another room.His sanctuary.James stepped inside, closing the door behind him. The dim light cast long shadows over the walls, which were lined with sketches, paintings, and unfinished pieces, each one holding fragments of his life.A drawing board stood in the center of the room.

    The car rolled to a stop in front of a massive, grand estate. Towering iron gates loomed before them, opening smoothly as if welcoming them into another world. Rose’s breath hitched the moment she stepped out of the car, after James removed her blindfold. The sheer size of the mansion left her speechless.It was something straight out of a movie, luxurious, imposing, the kind of place that looked like it belonged to a country’s president rather than two men who had spent their lives navigating the shadows.Rose blinked rapidly, shaking her head. This can’t be real.She turned to James, her eyes wide with disbelief. “Tell me I’m dreaming.”James chuckled, stepping beside her. He gently placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, his grip firm but warm. “No, Rose, It’s very real.”As the other men moved inside, taking their positions to secure the area, Rose found herself still staring in awe.James glanced at her, a hint of pride in his voice as he said, “Cole and I built this place afte
