Despite her growing feelings for Alex, Rose couldn't shake off the nagging doubts that lingered in the back of her mind. She couldn't help but compare him to Jon, wondering if she was moving on too quickly, or if she was just settling for someone else.As she lay in bed one night, staring up at the ceiling, she couldn't help but think about Jon. He had been her first love, and despite the pain of their breakup, she still had fond memories of their time together.She wondered if she was being unfair to Alex if she was holding onto the past instead of giving him a chance to build something new with her. But the more she tried to push the thoughts aside, the stronger they became.She decided to talk to Emily about it, hoping that her friend could provide some clarity. Emily listened patiently as Rose poured out her doubts and fears, offering a sympathetic ear and a shoulder to lean on."I think it's natural to have doubts," Emily said. "You went through a tough breakup, and it's normal to
Rose was on cloud nine after her heart-to-heart with Alex. Her doubts had faded away, and she felt more secure in her relationship with him. However, she didn't know that her past was about to come back to haunt her.As she was walking home from work one evening, she noticed a figure lurking in the shadows. At first, she brushed it off as her imagination, but when she quickened her pace, the figure seemed to do the same.Rose turned around to get a better look and saw that it was Jon. Her heart sank as she realized that he had been stalking her. She hadn't seen him in months, and the sight of him made her feel uneasy.Jon approached her, his eyes wild and his breath coming out in ragged gasps. "Rose, we need to talk," he said, his voice shaky.Rose took a step back, feeling a sense of fear creeping up on her. "Jon, what are you doing here?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady."I need you to come back to me, Rose," he said, his eyes pleading. "I miss you, I love you, and I don't
As Rose and Alex continued their relationship, Rose couldn't help but feel that there was something Alex wasn't telling her. She noticed that he would sometimes receive calls in the middle of the night, and he would always step out to take them in private. She also noticed that he had a lot of business meetings that he couldn't talk about and that he always seemed to be on edge.One day, Rose decided to confront him about it. She asked him directly if there was something he wasn't telling her. Alex hesitated for a moment, then he decided to come clean."Rose, there's something you should know about me," he said after a lot of hesitation. "I'm one of the leaders of a secret organization in the city. It's a mafia, and we control a lot of the underground activities in the city." he sounds as casual as possible, cause he doesn't want her to know that he also has his way among the country's big shots. Rose was shocked. She had no idea that Alex was involved in anything like that. She felt
One day, while Rose was out running errands, she received a call from Alex. He sounded frantic and told her to come to his office immediately. When she arrived, she saw that his office was in disarray, with papers and files scattered everywhere."What happened?" Rose asked her heart racing, feeling something was off."We've been robbed," Alex said, his face grim. "They took everything - money, drugs, weapons, everything."Rose was shocked. She had never seen Alex so vulnerable and scared. She knew that this was serious and that they were in danger."We have to do something," Rose said, her mind racing. "We can't just sit here and do nothing."Alex nodded. "I know. But we have to be careful. We can't just go after them without a plan."Together, they began to strategize on how to get back what they had lost. They reached out to their contacts and informants, trying to gather as much information as they could about the robbers.As they dug deeper, they discovered that the robbers were pa
"wake up," "Wake up you sleepy head," Emily said, trying to wake Rose up. "Heyyyyy...stop," Rose said, sounding half sleeping. "You've been sleeping for like 5 hours now, Rose. Are you sick? Are you pregnant? Or is the new guy; what is his name again, Allen? Uhmmm... Alex? Yeah, it's Alex." She said smiling foolishly, "Are you dreaming about him or...." "Hold up"!! Rose suddenly yanked off the bed looking frightened as if she has just seen a ghost. She started murmuring to herself "Where am I"? "I was with Alex and he saved me from those bad guys?". Emily couldn't resist asking out in a loud voice "WHAT THE H*LL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Who are the bad guys?" "When did you go out with Alex that I have no idea of? " She asked, clearly alarmed. "is it all a dream? Am I just hallucinating? What's going on here? Can someone please tell ME?? "She screamed and fainted. After 15 minutes Rose woke up seeing worries all written on Emily's face. Rose looked apologetically at Emily as she gave
After what happened last night and the strange dreams, Rose has started feeling restless lately. Her life had taken a sudden turn, and she didn't know where it was headed. She had reconnected with Jon, her childhood sweetheart, and the feelings she thought were long gone had resurfaced. But now, things were different, and she was scared.As she walked through the park, she saw Jon with a lady. They were laughing, and Jon had his arm around her. Rose felt a pang of jealousy and hurt. She didn't want to admit it, but she still loved him.But her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a scream. She turned around to see a man lying on the ground, bleeding. She could see a figure running away from the scene.She rushed to the man's side and saw that he was barely conscious. "oh God what's all this" Rose said while trying to get her phone. "Sh!t!!! Where's this phone" she said feeling frustrated. After searching for like 30 secs she finally got her hand on the phone and started dialing th
Rose's heart was pounding as she realized they were outnumbered. The Scorpion Man grinned maliciously at them, and Jon was shaking with fear. Rose had to think fast."Where is the girl," Rose asked trying to muster up some courage. "Where do you think" the scorpion man answered while grinning maliciously. It was at this moment it dawned on Rose that they were led to a trap, a certain trap that she knew nothing about, not even the person that could be doing this. 'who is trying to kidnap me?' she thought "Who sent you?" she asked coldly, "I know you can't be doing this all alone because I have never met you before," she said glaring at him. "Does it matter?" The scorpion man answered while looking at them with a dark face. "Please, just let us go," she said, trying to reason with the criminals.But The Scorpion Man just laughed. "You think you can walk away from us that easily? You're in our territory now, sweetheart."Rose's mind raced as she tried to come up with a plan. She kne
~ At Jon's Apartment ~ After parting ways with Rose and Alex, Jon came back home and opened the door to his house. He put off his cloth and was about to sit down when he suddenly noticed an envelope on his dining table. "I didn't put this here when I was out and my keys are with me, who could have opened the door and dropped this here?" he asked while murmuring to himself looking confused. He walked up to the table and pick up the envelope. The front and back of the envelope were blank, and the envelope was white but on a closer look, he noticed that there is a kind of snakehead on the envelope. It was so transparent to the extent that he couldn't have found it if he didn't scrutinize it very well. He opened the envelope and found some strange words written in a strange language and an address, but he was confused and he decided to check G****e maybe he would get the language the words were written off. He picked up his laptop and started searching for it. After 15 minutes of hard r
