Chapter Eleven

Chapter ElevenRosaline's POV:I stare at the house towering over me. Its roof is curved like horns and painted the colour of blood. The structure looks weird for a building that high. To the residents, this was a mansion but to me, this was a prison. The maid approaches me with her well-rehearsed plastered smile once I walk.My heart races as I follow her. Not because of fear but something else. Dread? Consciousness? I don't know. She leads me to a door and opens it. My palm feels greasy when I cross the threshold and I wipe them on my skirt. No effect. The maid bows to the seat backing us and leaves with her back to the door. Mr Sylvester's father turns in his seat. His eyes meet mine and my heart skips. I work a smile to my lips and as usual, he ignores it. He groans and sits up. "Sit."I obey and sit in front of him. The entire study goes so silent that I can hear the ticking of my watch. I can hear my heartbeat.Mr Sylvester never told me his father would be here in Chin

Chapter Twelve

Chapter TwelveRosaline's POV:"Rosaline!" Mr Sylvester's voice calls out. I wipe my eyes and get up from the floor."What?"His shirt is buttoned halfway and there's blood staining his shirt at the inside elbow. He blinks and rushes to where I am. "Why are you here alone? Where's my father?"He heard? Still. I wasn't going to bare it all to him or that would make me dependent and stupid. Perhaps, I would never risk Ethan and mom's lives. "I don't know."I walk past him, and he grabs my arm. "My father will never call you without wanting something. What did he..." I hit off his hands and turn to him. He stares at me with a stiff neck and strained muscles. His eyes don't blink. "I am fine sir. " I turn back to the door and walk out. I hail a cab and hand the driver the hotel's location. The hair at the back of my neck rises, and I sit up. Where the hell was he going?"This is a shortcut to the hotel you mentioned. The other road is cramped."Cramped? He could speak English? I

Chapter Thirteen

Chapter ThirteenViolet's POV:"Marriage?!"A vase shatters an inch away from my ear, my mother screams. "You're going to marry that miserable fitness trainer?!"My ears ring and my breath comes out in pained exhales. He picks up another vase. "After all the training I've given you? This is what you do with it? Marry a nobody?!"He crashes the vase into the wall by my left and the noise zaps through my skull. My mother covers her ears and hugs herself on the couch. "Trained her?!""Eloise..." I shake my head at my sister. "You see Violet, this is exactly why I hate you."She glares at our father. "You're jobless dad! Been jobless for eight damn years!" She throws her hands in the air. "Violet trained me, she and mom took care of the house while you were irresponsible!"Her lower lip trembles and my chest hurts."Eloise... It's fine...""No it's not!" She screams. "How dare you talk to me like that?!" He hauls a ceramic cup at her. She barely dodges it and slams her head into t

Chapter Fourteen

Chapter FourteenRosaline's POV:The pillow under my head a few seconds ago was now on my face and muffles my scream. I claw at her hands and she increases the pressure of the pillow. I'm pulled up from the bed and I claw at the face in front of me with a screech. My hands move to my mouth. "Mr Sylvester." My nails left a red trail on his face. "I'm fine. Are you?" The nurses stare at me with sagged smiles. "We've been trying to wake you since..." Jennifer exhales. "Forever." Oh...Two nightmares in a row. The doctor gives a long.inhale before he speaks. "You are all better now Mrs Sylvester but with the night...""I'm fine." I say.The earlier I leave here, the better. I didn't want to spend another freaking minute here."Has my discharge been processed?""It's supposed to be out tomor....""Today. I want it out today.""Mrs Sylvester are you..." He takes a step towards me and Mr Sylvester stands up. "My wife said today. So today it will be."Silence fills the room and chills

Chapter Fifteen

Chapter FifteenRosaline's POV:"Rosie." I turn to find Estella at Mr Sylvester's door. "A moment please."Four sets of eyes watch me with dead calm and I don't bother smiling. The useless stomach pain that has been hovering intensifies and hits me with its full force and I almost trip against my foot. Jonas catches me before I can hit the floor. I clench my teeth and pull myself up."I'm fine. "Jonas hands me a bottle of water and I gulp it down. Sparkling water.A fire starts in my stomach and a whimper leaves my mouth. "My bag." I whisper. "My bag."Violet rushes to my bag and I get out the pills and douse down a lot. Counting didn't do me any good. I just took until I got a bit of relief. "Are you sure you went to the hospital?" Mia asks with wet eyes. "Which hospital was that?""Mia...""Don't worry." She picks up her bag. "Come on. I'll take you to my dad's hospital. Now."I laugh with my mouth closed. I will not live off people. Or let them see me at my lowest. This st

Chapter Sixteen

Chapter 16Rosaline's POV:I could hear my heart pounding in my ears. Anymore, and it might drop into my stomach. "What man?"Could it be Mr Sylvester's father? He promised not to interfere as long as I did what I was told to. Why did he go after my brother at school?Could it be Mr Sylvester? He has no reason to."What man Ethan? Describe him..." I work to calm my breath that comes out in short spams. "Was he old... Or was he young, like thirty something... Like late thirties..."Thirty something? I said it. I reach for Ethan's phone and he moves it away. "Is it true?""Ethan, listen. You have to tell me what that man looked like. ""Are you married, Rosie?!!""I am!!" I yell back. "Yes. I am. ""Why?" He whispers." Why did you do it?""It's complicated...""For the money?"Yes. "No.""You love him?"Love? I did not even like Mr Sylvester and I did not plan to. This was a task, a challenge that I could win and send you to school. I look at my arms and say nothing. His mouth sla

Chapter Seventeen

Chapter SeventeenViolet's POV:***Two days ago***"Mom?! Mom!"I search the rooms like a mad woman but no sign of either my mum or my dad. "Damian?!"Nothing. "Da...." The stench of blood and sweat hits me like a wave. I stare at my room that I didn't check. My eyes squint and I inch closer. I almost throw up a few inches to the door. The stench was from my room. I push the door but it's already open. A screech leaves my lips and I lose my footing. My mum turns to me with splatters of blood on the right side of her face. She's on Damian and a bloodied knife is in her hands. My heart drums in my chest and my palms become sweaty. I scurry to my feet and hold out my hands. "The knife mum. Give it to me."She looks at me with the same glazed look she had a week ago. And then at Damian, who was...My hand flies to my mouth and my body trembles. Hot tears rush to my eyes and my feet are planted.No...She gets up from the body and begins to walk towards me with the knife in her hand

Chapter Eighteen

Chapter EighteenRosaline's POV:Mr Sylvester stares at me like I punched him in the guts. What was he trying to do? Was this care? Worry?He clears his throat and his face. "Let's go. You seem like you don't want to be here."Of course I don't want to be here. I didn't know that we are at his house until he opens my side of the door. "Are you okay?"I nod and alight. "I'm fine."Barely minutes into my room, a knock sounds on my door. I open it to see Mr Sylvester outside with a take out box of spicy chicken feet. He shoves it into my hands and turns to leave. A frown lingers on my forehead and I grab his elbow before he can leave. "Here." I hand him the box and clench my jaw. "Why are you doing this?" He squints. "This?" He waves the box. "This and with your yelling at the fundraising. That was out of the blue.""It was also out of the blue when you kissed me at the...""That was in our best interest. I did that to save us both.""I'm just checking up on you because you seem do

Chapter Nineteen

Chapter NineteenAlaric's POV:"Why are you yelling at me?" I stare at Miss Carter and I have nothing to say. What if the entire tray had fallen on you? I'm yelling at you because you might have been hurt. I'm yelling because your carelessness almost got you hurt. "Let's go home. You look like you don't want to be here."We're home and I turn to see Miss Carter staring into space. She furrows her brows and relaxes them. She exhales and brings her hands to her mouth. Something must have happened in the time she left the office and arrived late for the fundraising. Where did she go?I get out of the car and open the door. She blinks and turns to me. Without a word, she comes down from the car and moves straight for her room. Maybe spicy food will cheer her up a bit. Would spicy food cheer her up a bit?I don't know but I still order spicy chicken.She opens her door when I knock. Our eyes lock and my tongue gets tied. Say something Ric!I open my mouth but no sound comes out. I s

Chapter Twenty

Chapter TwentyAlaric's POV:Most manipulative and underground tactics I use, were picked up from my father.He believed in the rich being superior. He believed in women supporting men and never rising. He believed in getting what he wanted no matter who he tramples on.He was always two steps ahead of his rivals. That is how he stays in this field. I was skeptical about this tactic working on Tangshou, but it did. The entire council rises when he comes in, and a bright light shines in my soul. My heart pounds in my chest as we sit. I can finally have the inheritance. I can now prove to my father that I am the son he's looking for. The son he's searching for far and wide. I will be able to beat Chrollo with this. Someone sneezes at the door and we all turn."Sorry I'm late."My heart drops into my stomach and my legs move me up before I can think. "What are you doing here?" The words are out before I can stop them. "Not so happy to see me, are you brother? "I turn to the counc
