Off Limits: The Butler's Daughter Is Mine. Chapter 31: One Last Time.
ROSE.Night had settled over the city by the time we returned to the hotel.Drake had driven me back from the hospital after the collapse, then left again to handle one of his business colleagues who had seen too much at the breakfast meeting.I stayed in the suite with the lights low and my phone turned face-down because I was too afraid to look at the online storm already using my name.I was still sitting on the edge of the bed when the screen lit up and Drake's message popped in: #Get dressed. We’re going out. Date night.#I stared at it for a long moment, confused.Drake?Date night?How? Why?I swallowed hard.Maybe this was his way to get me into falling for him, or part of his plan I'm yet to discover after eavesdropping on his phone call.Especially after everything that had happened today, he wanted to go on a date?I typed back, hesitant: #Is this necessary right now?#His reply came fast: #Yes. Wear something comfortable, I'll be downstairs in thirty minutes.#I put the
Off Limits: The Butler's Daughter Is Mine. Chapter 30: Tell Them I Chose You.
ROSE.I woke up to a bright white ceiling and the sharp smell of medicine, my head pounding hard.For a moment I just lay there, trying to remember how I got here.Then it came back in pieces, the party, the women, their mean little smiles, my phone buzzing over and over with my face all over the news. Then nothing.Just darkness.I tried to sit up too fast and everything spun.A hand pressed gently on my shoulder, pushing me back down."Slow down," Drake said.His voice was softer than I had ever heard.I turned my head and saw him sitting beside the bed, no jacket, sleeves rolled up, and his face hard to read in the dim light."What happened?" I asked, my throat was dry."You collapsed," he said. "In the middle of the party, and the doctor said it was a panic attack, plus everything else you have been through this week."I closed my eyes, embarrassed. "Great. So now I faint in public too."He was quiet for a moment, watching me carefully, like he was thinking something over."It is

ROSE.The alarm went off so loud it felt like it was drilling into my skull.I shot up in bed with my heart already racing. “Fuck, fuck, oh my God, how did I sleep this deep?I grabbed my phone and saw it was already 10:00 a.m., sunlight pouring hard through the window.I looked around the suite and Drake was nowhere in sight, so I rubbed my forehead in pure disappointment because this was supposed to be the morning I proved I was more than just a butler’s daughter.Instead I had overslept like the lazy poor bitch he probably already thought I was.I rushed into the bathroom, washed up as fast as I could, and came back out still drying my face while creams and lotions sat on the table but I could barely focus on which one to use.I pulled on the corporate outfit Lydia had given me, slipped into the low heels, and started putting on my jewelry with shaky fingers when the door suddenly opened.Drake walked in with a hotel staff member holding a black nylon bag.He held out his hand with
Off Limits: The Butler's Daughter Is Mine. Chapter 28: Who Falls First?
ROSE.I sat in the back of the car staring out the window while every word from the hospital kept replaying in my head.There was no way I was telling him who Roseina really was.Not now.Not ever.Or maybe when I finally had him under my heel I would spit the truth out.I should have still been in that hospital bed, but Drake had ordered them to discharge me.As much as it annoyed me, I understood why.Those men who stabbed me had wanted both of us alive for their boss.And I kept wondering what I had done to end up on that list....fear slid through my blood as I swallowed hard.I was still turning everything over in my mind when the view outside the window stopped looking familiar.We had driven this road before when I went to the club, but we were not heading back to the old suite.I turned to Drake in shock. “Why are we not going back to the other suite?”He did not answer.He did not even look at me.He kept his face turned toward his own window like I had not spoken at all.I le

DRAKE.“Hey, doctor. How is she feeling now?”The doctor looked at me for a long moment, then smiled. “She’s awake now but we still need to run a few more tests. She lost a lot of blood, and I don’t think it all came from the stab wound.”I nodded once. “Alright. You can leave now.”He nodded back and left the room as I stood alone in the quiet hallway and let out a long breath.My guards had brought the car the second I called after she texted them, and we had rushed her to the hospital.During the whole drive, I kept asking myself the same question.How did I not know she was Roseina this whole time?The same girl who had been giving me that annoying ache in my chest since the day she crossed paths with me.Old memories started coming back whether I wanted them or not.I was just a little boy at the age of eight or nine when my father locked me in the basement.He believed a real man had to be made through silence and pain.Smiling was weakness.Wanting company was weakness.So he k

DRAKE'S POV.I stepped into the suite and the silence felt wrong right away.No soft movement.No sound of her heels.Nothing.I checked the bathroom, the balcony, even the closet like some desperate fool but it was empty.My jaw locked.That stubborn girl never listened to a single word I said.I dialed the head of security, my voice was already sharp. “Where the hell is she?!”There was a short pause. “Sir, she left with Chris, and he told us she would be hitting the southern club.”I hung up without answering as anger burned under my skin.She's too damn dumb to understand she was putting herself in danger.Not that I cared...because she's a constant pain, the living reminder of someone I had every reason to hate.Still, the idea of her roaming around alone made something ugly twist in my chest.I ordered the remaining guards to bring the car, and we got in and drove off.The drive stretched longer than it should have.Streetlights flashed across the windows while I sat in the back
