BEFORE NICHOLAS CAME HOME

Rose could not fall asleep as she kept thinking of Nicholas going to Ellen. Even though she suggested it, she hated it with all her might. How can she let such a thing happen to her? She regretted asking him to check on Ellen. She must be crazy to have suggested such a thing.

"What was I thinking? Sending my boyfriend to that manipulative witch! Now she'll do everything just to coax him into staying with her!" She complained angrily.

The door suddenly opened, her eyes lit up thinking that Nicholas came back already. But she's disappointed to see it's just a woman her age, dressed in the maid's uniform. Rose stared at the maid unable to understand why she would barge in like that.

"Excuse me miss, don't you think you should knock before coming into the room?" Rose asked her politely.

The maid gave Rose a glare and clearly had judgment written on her face.

"I was told you would be sleeping since you are injured. I didn't want to

    "Is that what happened?" Nicholas asked the maid after Rose explained everything. The maid looked down, but she wasn't ready to confess her wrongdoings. She isn't going to let Rose win her just like that. "Sir, she is just saying this because the drugs are having a great effect on her. I have no idea what she wants. She has been sending me up and down since and she threatened to report me when you arrive." "What? You lying-" Rose tried to say but the maid cut her off. "Miss, I don't know why you are doing this to me? Please don't make me lose my job. I've done nothing wrong." She pleaded with Rose faking her tears. Rose could hardly believe how fake and manipulating the maid is. Rose believes that this maid is worse than her. How can she lie so openly with no remorse. Edwin scoffed, "Shut your mouth! She wouldn't lie against you just because she is under the use of drugs. You did this, didn't you?" "No sir! I am telling you the truth! She's just doi

    Kay has been conducting a secret investigation over the last few days to find out if his father has something to do with Rose's shooting or someone else. Even though he hasn't spoken to Rose for days, he still feels responsible for all that is happening to her. Being the son of her captor is enough to make him hate his existence. But his father is not understanding the situation at all. He is afraid that he might never see her again if he doesn't do something. "What have you been doing for the past few days?" Harry asked out of nowhere. Kay was lost in thoughts as he kept looking at the information on his phone. He is still unable to get the pieces together. It's like the people who did this to her are ghosts. They must have a good source if they are able to hide this well. He jumped when Harry arrived from nowhere, "Are you fucking with me man! What the hell are you doing appearing like that?!" Harry shrugged, "I've been doing your job for a few days, that's what."

    Ellen opened her eyes again for the umpteenth time in the day. She has been in the hospital for a few days and has only seen Nicholas once. She is sad and annoyed that she can't leave even if she wants to because Nicholas strictly instructed the hospital not to let her out. Nicholas was said to be on an emergency trip for the past few days which is why he could not come to the hospital. She thinks Nicholas is probably at home with Rose and lying about his trip. While she was still thinking about this, James walked in with some food. She scoffed and looked away. When the door opened, she has gotten to excited thinking it was Nicholas. They say when you think of someone too much, they are the next person you would see walking through the door. All that seems to be a lie. James gently put down the food bag he brought. His eyes scanned the room, hopefully waiting for her to look at him. It would be a lie at this point if he denies what he feels for Ellen. It's something he's alw

    Nicholas adjusted his seat to answer to her. The wind blew fast as if trying to blow them away. Rose adjusted her hair that scattered due to the effect of the wind. She adjusted her long floral gown flowing in the direction of the wind. Then she took a sip of the mango juice, then patiently waited for him to talk. In simple terms, he is in a state of shock. "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you not going to talk to me anymore? Why? Are you shocked that I know what you did before coming here?" She asked him in confusion. "That's not what happened." He tried to explain, "I actually came through the hospital road. I didn't want to waste time going back there and I decided to check on her. I didn't mean to go there before coming home." Rose nodded, even though she feels that he might be right. She didn't want to forgive him that easily. She's mad that Ellen is still doing everything to get his attention and he is actually giving her all of the attention too. "It
