ROSE IN THE DARK CHAPTER 22
Soft sounds of cutleries clicking against porcelain plates echoed, accompanied by the sweet, savory aroma of meals spread out on the dinner table and silence.Dylan stared down at his plate, bringing a neat cut of steak to his lips, the corners of his mouth stained brown with sauce. He picked up a napkin, dapping it against his mouth - his every movement slow, mechanical and graceful. At the table, three pairs of eyes locked on to him; brows arched slightly with worry. "Are you not enjoying your dinner?", a stern, cool voice called out. " If you're not, i could always have the chef prepare something better for you."Dylan snapped out of his daze, dropping his cutleries softly on the table. He curled his lips softly, a quick smile flashing through his dashing features. "No, i'm good, big sis." His gaze lingered on his elder sister, Daryl, her shoulder length, silk dark hair worn in a neat bun. Her silver rimmed glasses caught the cold light, her red lips pursed in a thin line. She h

"Well done!!" In a dark lit room, a swivel chair swirled around gracefully. Masking the cold, slender silhouette of a female, holding a half-drunk champagne flute pressed between her fingers.Behind her, Melissa stood; head bowed, creases forming waves between her brows. Her heart hammered loudly in her chest, fists clenched tightly by her sides as sweat poured down her delicately structured face. "Such a wonderful performance!!. You've really outdone yourself on this one, Miss Wu", Amelia twirled her glass, voice drowned in mocking sarcasm. Melissa kept her head buried, shame, anger and despair gnawing at her heart while her knees buckled together in fright. The immense aura and pressure emanating from the lady before her made her quiver in fear. A fear so deep rooted, she dared not make her sound in her presence without consent. She gulped, her dark curls sticking to her face, "Ma'am is too kind, i was afraid that my performance would not be to your standard", she whimpered, he

Strands of sunlight sieved into the room through the curtains, casting a faint glow on his sleeping face. Alan's features wrinkled, a soft groan escaping his lips; pulling the sheets,he rolled over to the other end of the bed.Nuzzled against the soft pillows, he yawned. A sharp,intense pain tore through his lower torso, jolting him awake. He sat upright on the grand bed, still groggy from having woken up too soon and now suffering from a head-splitting headache.His perplexed,almond shaped eyes scanned the unfamiliar room; exquisite decorations, expensive rugs and an air that smelled of pure luxury. Although it kinda had a metallic stench to it, perhaps blood...?This wasn't his room, where the hell was this place?He slipped out of the covers, a strange chill wrapping around him like a blanket. Lowering his gaze, he stared down at his naked body in horror - milk white skin, pink nipples, slender frame and not one piece of clothing to cover his nudity."What the hell?!", he gasped,

The two thugs froze, eyes locked in on the half-conscious Alan resting limply in a strange man's arms. Then straying over to the armed entourage, and over again at Alan; almost as if caught up in a dilemma.They glanced at each other for a brief second, nodding in silent agreement; they couldn't leave without that man.At least that's what their boss said.Steeling their resolve,one stepped forward. His broad hands outstretched towards the blondie, his tone pitched in a condescending manner;"Hand him over, he belongs to our boss!!" Ezekiel pinched Alan's chin, the worry in his eyes withering, replaced by a dull amusement - belongs to their boss, eyy...? He blinked, his lashes sweeping through Alan's small ,red-flushed face - this rabbit has only ever belonged to him, and him alone. He raised his head, staring at the two raggedy thugs. He said nothing, he didn't need to; afterall, dealing with mindless fools has never been one of his specialties. Alan who had been leaning against E

Damn it, damn it!! Alan wrapped his arm around Melissa's half-limped body,as he ran through the hallways. His breathing labored, eyes drowsy - the world somehow seemed to spin rapidly under his feet.He stumbled, loosing his balance before crashing his shoulders hard against the walls. He clasped his free hand protectively over Melissa's head, his body responding almost instinctively.The intense pain tore through his right arm, causing a sharp cry to escape his lips. Tears formed at the corner of his eyes, staining his delicate features. He blinked, the pain giving him some moments of clarity. He hid in a corner, gently placing the heated Melissa on the floor, chest heaving with exhaustion. He had no idea how long he'd been running, how far he'd gone. But he knew... He couldn't keep running; those thugs were bound to catch up to him, sooner or later. [Reminder: Host

Melissa stepped into the office, dazed. Cold sweat made strands of her thick curls to cling to her fair skin as she kept her gaze fixated on the floors. "What happened..?, you seemed to be taking a long while to return. I was just starting to get worried that you'd been kidnapped on your way here."Melissa raised her head, her eyes focused on nothing in particular. But her ears picked up Alan's sarcasm, a nonchalant attempt to make her smile and spin the tales. She dropped the files she was holding on her small desk, wearing a solemn expression. That's right, she'd spent the entire time having fun with Alan. She forgot her true purpose.Alan paused, the casual smile on his lips fading till it became non-existent. She was in a sour mood, and he could feel it. He dropped the apple he'd been munching, his tone dead flat. "Is something wrong?. Why are you scowling like that... don't you know how ugly you look when you frown like that?!" She glanced at him, a sense of vulnerability was
