Roseline rushed out of the elevator in hurried steps. She balled her hand into a fist in anger not expecting to see what Henry would chase after. She still doesn't have a full understanding why he would cheat on her with her own step sister and given the way they were so intimate she was sure that they'd been having that secret affair for a very long time.
Feeling completely disgusted thinking about what she had witnessed earlier, Roseline decided to change her direction and head to the bancoly of the ship on the second floor. She knew Henry would soon reach the second floor seeing how he had asked her to stop earlier so it's better for her to divert his attention.Roseline gazed at the full moon, reflecting on the ocean water with a blank expression. Her marriage was supposed to be different from this betrayal by her husband. She loved him too much and was hurt by what he did to her. She remembered herself telling him a few minutes ago that today was one of the happiest days of her life. Unconsciously tears slipped down her eyes and dropped on the back of her hand.“Roseline!" She snapped out of her daze when she heard Henry's voice from behind. How did he find her here?“Y-you? Why have…… you come here?!” Roseline asked immediately as she turned around and saw Henry standing before her. Roseline gaze trailed off from a perfectly hairstyle that was messy due to the infidelity he had done and his clothes were slightly wrinkled.‘This stupid jerk!’“I'm sorry Rose, it's -"“Sorry? Are you going to use the famous excuse of ‘ it's not what you think’? Did you take me for a fool?!!” Rose cut off Henry and yelled furiously at him.“Calm down and let me explain to you." Henry muttered as he ran his hand through his head in frustration. He was slightly taken back by Roseline yelling at him for the first time.“There is absolutely nothing to explain, because I've got everything you guys did recorded here and I'm going to play this to the whole guest. Then you can explain yourself to everyone." Roseline instantly replied, her voice turned cold in a matter of seconds. She made up her mind, even though she'd get hurt by it, she doesn't mind as long as she reveals this video to the guests.“Are you crazy, Rose! Even if you don't consider me, you're going to ruin Sophia's reputation if you reveal that video." Henry snapped and yelled furiously at Roseline.He was still surprised that she had video of both him and Sophia.Roseline laughed at herself. He didn't even care about how hurt she was but was caring about her sister's reputation. What a crazy bastard!“What did you think I was aiming for? You think I'm not hurting as well? Just watch and see how crazy I can be when everyone sees this. Now move out of my way.” Roseline glared at him and was about to brush past him but stopped when he grabbed her hand.“I'm sorry-” He whispered gently. This time around he sounded really sorry with a hint of sadness in his voice.“Pardon?" Roseline raised her head to look at Henry. “What do you mean by that? Even though you sound really sorry I won't fall for it so let go of my……argh! “ Roseline was unable to finish her words when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She glanced down and saw a small dagger piercing through her stomach."Argh! Y-you………!!!" Roseline took a few footsteps backward in shock and pain. Her white dress was instantly soaked with bright red blood.“Hen…..ry….. Henry, why…..have….you done this to….me?” She managed to ask while clutching her chest. Her face completely turned pale and her pupils locked tightly as she stared at the man who had just stabbed her with a dagger.Roseline could never imagine that she could be stabbed by the man she loved and trusted the most after all these years they've been together and today of all days that was their special day.Henry didn't say a word as he pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and elegantly wiped off the blood on his fingers.“Allow me to answer that question, sister?" A sweet elegant voice traveled through the dark and reached Roseline.Roseline, who was still clutching her stomach, raised her head when she heard the voice. She patiently waited for the person to show their face to confirm her suspicions.“My dearest sister, the person that Henry loves has always been me ,” The same voice declared, and Roseline watched as a beautiful stunning woman with bright eyes, framed by long lashes, a straight nose, full lips, glowing and clear skin, with a most voluptuous body that had gained her endless suitors. She was none other than Sophia Gray who had pushed the balcony door open and strutted her way to the bancoly in her t-strap black heels.Sophia approached in her red one-off-the-shoulder red dress that enhanced her beautiful pale skin, giving her a noble temperament. But there was a malicious smile that adorned her beautiful and dignified face.Roseline furrowed her eyebrows tightly at the center of her forehead.In a flash, she turned her attention back to look at Henry. “You…..tried teaming up with Sophia to kill me? Why?!” Rose asked.“I've endured and tolerated you for a whole ten years, ten good years! Fortunately, everything will change and be over from today onward.” Henry shouted angrily. The sadness that Rose heard in her voice was long gone and now replaced with disgust. Henry threw the blood-stained handkerchief and walked towards where Sophia was standing, familiarly embracing her waist.Rose felt like she'd been struck by lightning, her body suddenly jerking as she stood at the two of them in shock.Sophia tiptoed and planted an affectionate kiss on his lips. “Honey, you've worked so hard. However, you shouldn't have wasted your time and energy stabbing her because she is already dying naturally on her own." Triumph and sinisterness were written all over her face as she glanced at Rose.“I just thought to make it quicker seeing that she was about to ruin our reputation with the video and the effect might take longer."Dying? Yes, she was already dying due to being stabbed but what did she mean by that? Rose stared at her half-sister who appeared to be a stranger now, and then a terrifying truth dawned on her instantly when she connected the dots and meaning of Sophia's words.“You both…….. you two have poisoned me?” Her eyes darted from Sophia to Henry, the man she loved all her life. There was no sort of guilt shown on his face at all.She shivered. She was in extreme pain not from being stabbed but her heart was the one in the pain right now. Her heart sank hopelessly into the dark. Right there and then, her whole world collapsed in front of her. “Aren't you too smart, sister? It was easy for you to connect the dots. That's right you've been poisoned." Sophia admitted, all smiles in mockery at Roseline. Roseline gulped. She remembered that Sophia had brought her drink earlier to drink. She didn't think much about it and happily collected it from her sister not knowing that it was already poisoned by Sophia. “How could you do this to me?" No, why are you both doing this to me?! Answer me, Henry and stop hiding behind Sophia like a coward!" Roseline yelled furiously at Henry. She hadn't had the chance to ask Sophia why she was also doing this to her since it was obvious that she might be jealous of her. She needed answers from Henry himself. “What exactly do you mean by that you've been enduring me for the past te
Every single time that she falls sick, her mother, or to be more precise, her stepmother is the one who always takes care of her. There was even a time when she exhausted herself while taking care of her one time . How could that be all fake? Then it suddenly occurred to her, her father had been acting strangely lately. He kept calling her to have a meal with him, sometimes he'd ask her to visit him and spend a few days at the mansion. He showed her much more love than usual like he was going to lose her to the past few months and days. But she thought that it was because he misses her so much that he was acting strangely. At the same time, her father had also been the one to arrange this wedding anniversary for her. He kept saying that he wanted her to have a memorable wedding anniversary for the past four years she had been married. So how could all this happen of he hadn't planned it or arranged it in the first place? Even if she screamed at this rate, it was useless because no o
“Awwn, where do I start from……. First of all, let me thank you wholeheartedly from the bottom of my heart, sister , for transferring all your money to me and my brother. Hahaha, it's worth tens of billions, sister.” Sophia muttered as she pulled out a few pieces of paper from her bag and held it in front of Roseline. She took a few steps forward, waving the documents proudly at her. “This is what I mean, sister. You see, this paper in my hand, is the paper you've signed to agree to transfer all of your money to us on your wedding day. You're just the most stupid person in the world. Thank you so much, my idiot sister, because you've foolishly signed the documents without taking a proper glimpse of it.” Her pale face was tainted with blood oozing out of eyes, as she took a closer look and read the content on the documents. Her heart went frozen in pain and shock, she shivered and trembled. It felt like her entire body was whipped by thorny lashes. The sudden desire and urge to kill a
“Sophia! Henry! You both are so evil and vicious, you both don't deserve to be called humans at all! Even if I die and become a ghost, I will haunt all you down.” Overwhelming hatred surged within her as she glared at the both of them with bloodshot eyes. “Hahaha, then go ahead and become a ghost. I've been waiting so long for this day to come and it's finally here, did you think that mere threat would scare me?“ Sophia's eyes were filled with a sinister desire for destruction as she moved extremely closer to Rose, she grabbed the dagger bottom and pierce it deeper into Rose's stomach. “My dear sister, you deserve to die for us to lead and live a happy life that wouldn't include you.” Sophia muttered in a gently soothing voice but there was no sort of emotion in her gentle voice at all. “Ahh!" Rose let out a gasp when the dagger pierced through her. The sky stumbled upon her, blood gushing out of her mouth and her heart burned in pain. “See you in hell, sister. I will be looking f
Rose stopped laughing when she heard the loud thud sound in the room. She moved her head down and turned to look at the direction where the sound came from.To her dismay, she saw a beautiful young girl, dressed in a black and white knee-length gown standing by the door. She had a scared, frightened and stunned expression on her face as she stared at Roseline who was still sitting on the bed.Rose glanced at the girl for a few seconds before her gaze trailed off to the white bag on the floor. Obviously it was the bag that had fallen down and caused a loud thud sound in the room. However, Rose was puzzled why the girl was standing by the door without moving except for the shocked expression on her face.She recognized the girl, who was none other than her roommate.“Why are you standing there like you've just seen a ghost?" Rose finally asked, raising a brow at her roommate, who could also be considered as her friend.In a flash, after the question left Rose's mouth, her roommate who w
‘ I was partially the cause of your accident, if you hadn't come back to California because of me you wouldn't have been involved in that accident.’ Rose thought to herself, feeling guilty for what happened to Alisa. ‘ However, in this life, there wouldn't be a wedding that would make you come back.’ “You know that you're the only one who I think truly cares for me apart from my mother." Rose suddenly remarked, making Alisa turn to look at her with a confused expression." What are you talking -” Before she could finish saying her words, Rose suddenly hugged her which took her by surprise."Thank you, Lisa.” Rose mumbled softly , hugging her tighter. This was supposed to happen when she saw Alisa again but she was too consumed by the thought of getting revenge to organize her thoughts. “Hey, why are you suddenly acting this way?" Alisa asked after Rose released her from the embrace. She couldn't help but feel like Rose was acting completely different from what she knew ever since sh
*************California, Los Angeles airport.There were crowds of people who exited and entered the airport. Despite the fact that everyone had their destination to run to, they couldn't help but have their attention drawn to a particular direction. In that certain direction that had almost everyone in the airport staring at was none other a slender tall man at the height of 197cm. He was wearing a tailored black suit, white dress shirt and black tie. Just take a glance at his dressing, and one could tell instantly that what he was wearing was filthy expensive.His silky black hair was neatly styled in a short comb over, silver rimmed pilot sunglasses were propped comfortably on his high nose, his thin lips were a shade of peach. He was seductively handsome, however, he emitted a cold and aloof aura.Trailing behind him was his personal assistant and five fully built bodyguards. Each one of them dressed in black suit with the King crest embroidered on the chest of their jacket. Hi
Rose, on the other hand, had effortlessly raised the attention from the many people in the airport, however, she was paying very little attention to the bystanders who were watching the scene. As much as she hated causing a public scene such as she was doing now. However, she just couldn’t let this one pass by just like that since her patience button had already been pushed. ‘How can such a person exist in this world?!!’ All she did was just accidentally bump into him. She even went as far as to apologize to him, but he was acting way over dramatic and acted as if she was some kind of cockroach that touched him. Truly despicable!!“Anyways, since I've already apologized to you, then there isn’t a reason for me to be standing here any longer.” Rose mumbled as she bent down to pick up her backpack which had slipped off her shoulder earlier when she fell to the ground. She dusted off the dust on her bag and slung it over her shoulder not bothering to pay attention to the man staring a
