Rose was breathing heavily, trying to swallow her pain. Kingsley noticed every single change in her expression. She closed her eyes tightly when she felt the pain. She bit her lip to avoid groaning. She kept furrowing her brows whenever she gulped. And the way she put all her weight on his arm, he realised that she was unable to stand properly or even put her foot down.“Okay, let’s do this! You can join in the fun. You also need experience to make your bride happy. Think of her as training,” laughed goon 2.Kingsley gritted his teeth. Everyone could see his jawbone moving. “Training, huh? What if I just kill you all and keep her all for myself?” asked Kingsley, stoically.“What?” mumbled Rose, afraid, breathing heavily. She hated Kingsley for saying that. He was about to marry Vanessa and was talking about keeping another woman. But what was she expecting from a mafia leader?“Ohh! You think you can win, boy? Just hand her over, and we will not hurt you!” said goon 3.“Fine!” said Ki
Rose closed her eyes and jumped out of the window. The hedges planted around the hall looked bushy, but when she fell, the tiny branches snapped under the pressure and all the sharp edges cut through her skin. Thankfully, her feet were fine as they were enclosed in her shiny shoes.But she heard the sounds after her. She knew the attackers were coming. She still had to get away. She tried standing up, but the heavy dress was not letting her do that. She placed her hand on the ground, but a tiny stone pierced her palm, and she screamed in pain. But she had no time to lose. She moved her palm, pushed herself off the ground and stood up.The moment she stood up, her ankle shot a leg-shaking pain. “Ahh!!” she cried in pain. It was then she realised that she had hurt her ankle when she jumped, but all the tiny cuts over her leg were not letting her feel that. But she had no time to waste. She had to run.She dragged her foot behind her and started running. The full skirt was making it diff
Rose took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She stood before the mirror, all dolled up. For more than three hours, she was a statue. She just stood, sat, turned left, turned right, and obeyed every order from the make-up team. They pampered her like a princess. They kept calling her Vanessa, but she didn’t mind at all. She just kept her mouth shut and replied with one-syllable words if asked any questions.She opened her eyes and looked at the beautiful dress. It was the most beautiful wedding gown she had ever seen. Her own wedding gown was her choice, and she chose the best in her budget. But the dress on her right now made her look like a beautiful, dancing swan. The sweetheart neckline had a net fabric as a vest-sleeve. That made the dress look like a sleeveless dress but had support, and there was no way the dress would slip, or Rose would have to adjust the dress constantly.One thing she liked was that the dress was extremely comfortable. There were no stupid wires sticking in
“Wake up! Wake up!” whispered Seth and shook Rose to wake her up. She blinked her eyes and opened them.“What? What happened?” asked Rose, breathing heavily.“Let’s go! Let’s go! We need to go,” Seth said, agitated. It looked like he was ready to run off the earth as someone kept chasing him.“Where? What?” asked Rose and sat up.“Rosie! Don’t waste your life, don’t sacrifice your life. Please, we need to go. I will take you away from everyone. No one will be able to find you. Neither Piers nor Ursa nor Kingsley. Anyway, Kingsley didn’t want you; he wanted Vanessa. Let’s leave her to clean her own mess. Why do you have to take her place?” Seth was on the verge of crying. “What if… what if he sees that you are not Vanessa and then hurts you for taking her place. He is mafia, Rosie. I don’t want to lose you. I cannot see you throwing your life away.”“Stop! Stop! Sethie! You know why I have to do this,” cried Rose.“I know, I know, your father. You are trying to save him. But how will yo
Ring! Ring! Kingsley was deep in reading some contracts while sipping on tea when his phone rang. He looked at the clock. It was late at night. He narrowed his eyes, thinking who was calling him at that time? He looked at the screen; it was Jack. For a minute, Kingsley’s heart jumped out of his chest.Jack always sent him messages and updates; why was he calling now? Did something happen? He snatched his phone from the table and connected the call. “What? What?” asked Kingsley. He didn’t wait for any greetings.“He found us! He found us! He saw us!” shouted Jack.“What?? What are you talking about?” shouted Kingsley. Emerson came running inside when he heard Kingsley shouting.“What happened? Why are you shouting?” asked Emerson. Kingsley raised one finger, and Emerson closed his mouth immediately.“Her friend! he saw her. he approached us. Thanks to Liliana, we fooled him. But if he sees us again, I think he will know that we are keeping an eye on him,” replied Jack.“Jack! I need det
Tern looked at Fiona and nodded. She stood up and knocked at Ursa’s door. She could hear some whimpering from inside, nothing more. “Ma’am? May I come in?” asked Tern.“No!! No!!!” shouted Ursa urgently. Her sobs, her sniffles were now getting louder. Tern opened the door slightly and peeked in. Her eyes widened in shock. Ursa was sitting on the floor with her legs spread, and she was shaking like a lone leaf. The blue carpet underneath was soaked. Tern looked at Ursa’s face, which was also wet with tears and ran inside.“Ma’am! Ma’am! Are you okay? Do you need help?” shouted Tern and stood when she got a whiff of the smell of urine. She backed up immediately and closed her nose. But after seeing the pitiful condition of Ursa, she crouched down and softly patted Ursa’s shoulder.“Ma’am! Let me help you. Tell me what you need? Did those people hurt you? Do you need me to call Roger?” asked Tern.“No! No! Call no one! Are you stupid? Do you want people to see me like this? How idiotic ar
The moment Kingsley was at the back of the bakery, he heard the bell of the door. He knew someone had entered the shop. He had to act fast. He knew he must not die. He had to live. He had to find the love of his life. He had to get rid of his mortal enemy. He had to live for his people.He tilted h
“Get out, King! Now! I will hold him off! Go!” shouted Emerson at the top of his lungs as all the bang-bang of the guns was deafening. Emerson and other bodyguards had made a wall right before Kingsley to hide him from the hail of bullets. The table and chairs had bullet holes in them. The metal ta
The moment Rose heard the signal bell of the bakery, a flicker of hope ran across her face. Did God hear her pleas? Did God send Piers to save her, protect her? And then a scary thought came to her mind. What if Piers came in, and the man standing before him would hurt him too?The man was pushing
“Good morning, Miss Woolridge! Bus today?” asked the kind-hearted bus driver with a sweet smile on his face.“Yeah, all the cars were going for maintenance,” replied Rose and climbed into the bus.“You are the only princess I know who takes the bus and runs her own business,” said the driver.“What
