He entered her life, and their destinies became entangled in the most tragic of ways: she embodied sunshine, while he exuded darkness. He craved vengeance against his enemies, while she sought to destroy those who had killed her parents. Both had vengeful hearts, yet when it came to each other, they were willing to ruin themselves and the world to protect one another. Having been betrayed before, he vowed never to show vulnerability again to the world. Yet, against all odds, he found himself unable and unwilling to resist her pull. He offered her everything, even the world itself. His obsession with her intensified to the point where he forgot she was a forbidden fruit, entrusted to him to protect until the end of his life. Yet whenever her innocent eyes met another's, jealousy burned within him. He coveted her gaze for himself alone; it was as if she had cast a spell on him, binding him to her indefinitely. Despite the world knowing his weakness, he wore it proudly, even though she was a rose full of thorns in his life, capable of endangering his very existence
View More“Stop…… please don’t hurt her.” Rose’s father, who took three bullets in his chest, begged in front of the people who had just bragged about their home and killed his pregnant wife and his maids in front of him.
He tried to fight, but these men came prepared. He had only a wish right now, not to let them discover his daughter, whom he had hidden in the wardrobe.
These men laughed like manic as he walked toward the wardrobe since he knew where he had kept the girl.
Rose’s father dragged his blood-drenched body and tried to stop these men; he knew what would happen to the girl if they found her.
The men didn’t bother with Rose’s father and pulled open the wardrobe door, and little Rose, who was shaking violently, looked at the man with frightened eyes.
But when her eyes fell on her mother’s dead body, along with the maids and her father in blood, she couldn’t stay quiet and screamed.
How could a 10-year-old girl keep her calm seeing such a horrific scene in front of her? These men didn’t care about her; the man pulled his gun and pointed it at her head.
Then another man spoke out behind them,
“Boss, it would be a loss to kill the girl; why not send her to dreamland?" I’m sure our men will be pleased with a fresh item."
As the man spoke, he licked his lips. After all, the girl was such a beautiful doll; he was sure she would be an excellent toy for their men.
The man who raised his gun on Rose’s head suddenly looked at Rose with a wicked, murderous grin and then turned to Rose’s father, whose expression drowned in pure horror when he heard them discuss his daughter’s future.
He suddenly couldn’t keep calm and, with all his strength, grabbed the man by his throat.
“You can keep dreaming.” Rose’s dad was like a wounded lion; even losing his wife meant nothing to him. As long as he could take these heinous people with him, at least his daughter would live.
But he underestimated them; how could he, taking three bullets, win against 20 people, be ready to tear him up in a second? The moment he attacked, the man attacked and put two more bullets in his chest, and this time it hit his chest straight.
Rose’s father’s hand loosened from the man’s neck, and he felt the entire world turn blurry in front of him as he fell to the ground. Not only that, but when he fell, the man stepped on his chest, and mocking laughter broke out.
Rose screamed in fear. How could she bear this? She felt her entire world shattered when her father looked at her with a painful expression; only pain and helplessness were in his eyes.
The man turned and grabbed Rose by her beautiful hair and pulled her closer. “Welcome to hell, princess,” the man said with a smile, which made Rose shiver; she felt disgusted by his touch and closeness.
She was a princess of her father’s kingdom, where he kept her protected from all danger, and she had only seen the goodness of this world; this was the first time she faced the dark side of the world.
“Daddy.” In fear, she called out to her father.
Her father would barely have the life to hear her call. He wanted to protect his daughter, but it seemed god had another plan; he couldn’t even answer his daughter, who was frightened.
Rose got her answer with silence; she didn’t know what she was feeling. “Daddy, ah, daddy, daddy, take the bad man away.” She couldn’t even say anything other than these words.
She finally knew how cruel the world was. She kept screaming and crying, but it seemed the world had abandoned her.
Rose’s father thought god had abandoned them already; god didn’t even want to spare his 10-year-old daughter.
But he didn’t; when gunshots were heard just from the entrance, the man who was holding Rose let her go and turned his face only with bullets.
Countless footsteps approached, and countless black-clothed people appeared in the room with guns.
Among them, a man in a black wind coat stood in the middle of them and looked at these assassins with a cold, murderous gaze.
Rose was crying until she saw the man before her, her blue eyes stuck on the man.
The man didn’t even blink when he fired coolly at these men, and not even a bullet missed. All the shots were on point; Rose flinched in terror when the man in front of her fell to the ground with a bullet in his head.
Her sound slowed down, but she couldn’t calm herself completely. Rose's father looked at the people with hopeful eyes. Finally, the world might have abandoned them, but someone didn’t, and he could now peacefully leave because he knew his daughter was not alone anymore.
Rose looked at the man; amidst a torrential of bullets, he emerged from the shadow, striding purposefully toward her. The noise of gunfire echoed in the air, yet his determined steps didn’t even stop for a second, even when the bullets just passed by him.
His silhouette moved with a grace that defied his aura; danger had just bypassed him, almost touched him, yet he walked toward the girl as if even the world stopped; he wouldn’t. It felt like the world stopped around him briefly, and only he existed.
Even these dangerous assailants didn’t even stand a chance in his presence, which made Rose look at the man in front of them with terror; she was a little soul. These assassins were already scary enough to suck her soul.
Rose stood on the other side of the danger, while her eyes widened in disbelief at his actions because her father taught her in this world if a person doesn’t even care about their own life, then no one is more dangerous than that person, and she knew her dad warned her about a man like him.
How could a person walk like this even knowing the bullet doesn’t have eyes? Only a senseless person could do this.
Little Rose's terrified eyes showed even more terror; she lost her voice when the man stopped before her. She closed her eyes in fear when she thought the man would hurt her.
But she heard the most beautiful, deep voice engraved in her mind for life.
“Don’t be afraid, Little Rose. No one can hurt you anymore.” The moment the man spoke to her gently, Rose opened her eyes, and the man’s dark yet mysterious eyes stared deep into her blue eyes.
Alexander sighed and walked out onto the balcony. He needed a moment to clear his head. Lighting a cigarette, he tried to process his thoughts. The moment Rose stepped outside, she became a target.For eight years, those waiting for a chance to strike have been like predators. Rose’s presence had stirred them once more, and they were closing in. Although Alexander wasn’t afraid of these threats, he worried for her safety. Rose had a way of diving headfirst into danger without always considering the risks. Each reckless move she made seemed to draw those lurking even closer, and Alexander knew he would be tied up with his own missions this year, not being around her for 24 hours. Balancing his duties with ensuring her safety was becoming increasingly challenging since the girl was not someone who would be obedient, and the fear of not being able to protect her weighed heavily on him.Ten years ago, he saw her as a responsibility. Now, it is different. Just the thought of her being har
“Lock them in the dungeon for a day. Give them no food or water.”Alexander Ariston did it again. Horror filled everyone’s eyes.Jane and Logan, who had thought the man was being lenient since his princess forced the issue, were surprised. This man never failed to shock them repeatedly.“Uncle,” Logan cried out pitifully. Even though his uncle hadn't tortured them directly, the dungeon was a place he dreaded—one where his uncle inflicted unspeakable horrors on all kinds of enemies. It was a grim location where he showed no mercy.Alexander took perverse satisfaction in capturing his enemies and torturing them on his turf, reveling in the fear he instilled before their eventual demise. It was his way of demonstrating dominance.“Bro, let them go for once. Consider it a special occasion,” Jason, who knew it was Rose’s birthday, pleaded. “Forgive them just this once.”“No way,” Alexander replied firmly. “If I keep giving them chances, they’ll just spoil my little Rose.”He was resolute w
Alexander handed Rose the glass of water, knelt before her, and slowly untied her shoelaces. The great Alexander Ariston, the pride of the North country and warrior god, kneeled before a little girl to untie her shoes."Holy shit," someone exclaimed.The excited audience, who had come to enjoy the show, silently seethed with envy, jealousy, and disappointment. They had expected Alexander Ariston to scold his princess, but they were daydreaming; she completely charmed the man from head to toe. Even Jason Henson, who had entered, hissed at them. He was thankful Alexander Ariston hadn’t boxed up his sister, but even he was surprised.Ariston could have completely ignored Rose’s action, even though he already knew the mess his precious princess had caused, including her altercation with Dawson.Rose grinned ear to ear as she looked at the familiar faces. She and these people had never gotten along because whenever they were around, they clashed with her, taunting and troubling her when h
The security system detected a significant threat, triggering a black alert. Suddenly, a spotlight illuminated them, momentarily blinding everyone."We messed up," Logan yelled from behind as he assessed the situation. He knew nothing good could come of this girl's scheme. "Oh my god, did we get caught?" Jane panicked, while Rose, outwardly calm, felt a storm of worry inside. She believed she had tampered with the system before leaving.Their eyes fell on a figure at the mansion's back entrance, standing in darkness yet commanding attention. "I'm dead," Logan muttered, recognizing his uncle."I thought my little Rose was peacefully sleeping inside. What is my little Rose doing outside at this hour?" The man's commanding voice cut through their fear.Suddenly, Rose, who had caused so much trouble alone, became timid. To save herself, she exclaimed, "Uncle!" Rose, the little betrayer, ran excitedly toward the figure hidden in the shadows.Ignoring the world, Rose jumped on the person, b
On the other side, Peter went to the security room and pulled out the footage. His hand felt cold as he saw these two brats enter the room, and after a few minutes, the bodyguards who were waiting outside the room entered and there was the sound of breaking things and screams.“God, see I am not wrong, it’s them.” Peter pointed at the screen and shouted.“Move.” Matthew pushed Peter away and sat before the monitor, running his fingers over the keyboard.“What is he doing?” Peter asked.“Deleting the footage,” Michael said, knowing Matthew was making the right call. They couldn’t risk anyone discovering the involvement of Rose and Jane.Peter stayed silent and let Matthew and Michael handle everything.After a few minutes, Matthew nodded. “Give them this.” He cleared everything and left with Michael.When Peter emerged, he saw Aaron and finally understood why people said enemies were bound to cross paths. He never liked Aaron, but this was a secret shared among their ranks; Aaron was m
"Damn it, I forgot! Bro, I just saw your princess down the hallway." Boom... The jewelry box’s lid slammed shut with a thud."What did you say?" The way he shouted made Peter jump in fear, suddenly nervous. He was about to explain when Benjamin’s assistant emerged with the box, confirming Peter’s fear of retribution from his brother. Benjamin was notoriously protective when it came to his "princess.""Yes, when I arrived, I saw her down the hallway." Peter was certain he hadn’t seen anything wrong."Are you sure it was Miss Princess and not someone else?" Daniel questioned. Rose would never visit such a place, he believed, knowing her better than himself. But he realized he might be mistaken. Even if she had come to a club at this hour, Alexander would have been informed first. Yet Alexander’s reaction suggested otherwise."Who was with her?" Alexander’s cold, intense eyes fixed on Peter, warning him not to say something displeasing, as if his very life depended on it."I think it was
