make them pay!

Rosaline stood on the roof top.

Weighing her options.

She wanted a quick death.

She wanted badly to go away fast, from the surface of the earth.

The weight of all the burden she seem to have been carrying for so long felt lifted from her.

She was finally going to end it all.

She never want to see their faces again, and this is the only way.

Taking her own life was better than living.

What is she living for?

She has been stripped off everything she holds dear.

Now she is just holding on to the hurtful memories that she is left with.

The wind on the roof top was particularly different.

The area was dark and the tiny stars seem to illuminate her surrounding.

The stillness in the sky, could not cause her heartbeat to remain still.

Her heartbeat louder than the horns made by buses stuck on traffic.

For a moment, the wind came heavily, and she felt too fragile, that she thought she was going to actually fall.

She clutched to herself as the cold seem to hurt her heart, but the emptiness she feels inside, didn't make her feel there was need covering herself up.

Suddenly, she heard a voice behind her.

It was a familiar voice, she had been hearing that same voice, even when she was out.

"You don't have to do this". Gordon says, taking a step closer to her.

"Don't come any closer. If you do, I'll jump". She threatened, as if that is not what she had been dreaming of doing since she had been on the roof.

"They hurt you, I know, but taking your life will only give them that satisfaction". Gordon added.

"What can I do? I am a lost hope.

I am sick, I have no home, no family, no friend.

The only thing I have is one functional kidney, that might fail any time soon and I will have to see my parents sooner, so ending it now, could actually be the best". She cries.

"In my next life, I will make a different choice. I will watch the people I let into my life". She continued wallowing in her sorrow.

Tears dropping profusely without control, because just the thought of what they did to her, brings about a whirlwind of emotions.

"What if I gave you that second chance right now? Gordon asked, taking another step forward, hoping to reach for her hand.

"What do you mean?

She tried to look back at him and almost fell.

"I am Gordon Grey. The president of the GG group of companies. I can make Steven Audrey pay for his every crime against you. I can make him bankrupt in one day, and you can finally watch him suffer for ever hurting you".  He paused to get her reaction, but she only held her side,  in pain. Her whole body seem to be on fire.

"I can help you get the best treatment. I will give you a home and a family to call your own".

Hearing that, Rosaline had to carefully turn to face him.

"Why are you doing this? What do you want, in return?

She asked, believing that there has to be something Gordon would want in return.

"Yes, I want something.

I want you to marry me. Be a mother to my Amelia".

He went straight to the point, but Rosaline, upon hearing that, turned back to trying to jump.

"I cannot marry you, because I cannot love you. My heart is filled with hatred, that no amount of good, can fix the hate I feel inside". She was being truthful, and she didn't want to lead Gordon on, but he shocked her, with his next statement.

"I am not asking you to love me. I am just asking you to marry me , for the sake of my daughter.

Since my daughter met you at the hospital, she has taken a liking to you. She has been very happy about seeing you again, I want to keep seeing that smile on her face.

She is just five.  By the time she will be Ten, I know she will have better understanding about life then, and if you want, we could divorce and you could have half my property".

Rosaline turned again to face him. Looking into his eyes, as the air, made her hair fly round her face.

"Do we have a deal? Gordon asked, stretching his hand for a handshake.

The thought of watching Steven Audrey and Sandra pay was relieving.

"You are really going to make them pay? She asked and Gordon replied sharply.

"Absolutely".

"And I'm marrying you just for your daughter? He nodded.

"It means there will be no intimacy of any kind between us? She asked and he continued to nod his head.

Gordon also doesn't want love. He doesn't want to have to feel emotionally attached to anyone. She could live his life, focusing more on work than marriage.

Rosaline liked the idea very much that she immediately gave him her hand.

He shook it gently, then, calmly pulled her to his side.

She broke down in tears in his arms, but that was the last tears she was ever going to shed for them.

She is out for revenge.

She loves no body but herself.

She is choosing herself over every other thing.

Most important, she will make them pay.
