Chapter ninety-four
? ROSE ?
Rose POV
As I look at myself in the mirror in the bathroom , I was so sad and angry the same time, I can’t still believe that Alex did this to me, my eye were full with unshed tears, but I refuse to cry again not for anymore…
My face is getting better but I fear some will form into a scar that will alway be a remainder
I have been in this room for the last week, I think is time I grow some balls, not act like a scarily child, I honestly want to get my life back but I had no life…I have to create a new life for myself, once I get better I will leaves this country and go very far with a new identity
Richard has been doing a lot for me this past week, I feel bad I can’t be normal around him, he has been the one feeding and sheltering me he is always there for me…
I owe him a lot, he is like a brother that I never had and I want to surprise him, he has been begging me to come out of this room for long now
I quickly shower and put onthe blue grown Richard got for me and proceed to the door, I took a deep breath before opening the door.
I slowly get down the stairs to avoid hurting myself, I don’t know where Richard could be, I haven’t been to his house before, so am confuse
I slowly walk around the house, I came to what seems to be his sitting room he wasn’t there
” Rose!” Richard called behind me his voice full with surprise, I slowly turn to face him, my heart was beating fast and am nervous, I don’t know how he will react
” Hi” I said
He was still staring at me with something else in his eye, I became nervous from the way he was staring at me as if he have not seen me before
” So you decide to live the room” he said smiling at me as he come closer to me
” Yes” I answer smiling back at him
” Am happy you did, you look beautiful” Richard said causing me to blush, I can’t hold his gaze so I look anywhere but at him
” Thanks” I said my heart beating fast for just no reason
” You are welcome, so are you hungry” he ask
” No!” I answered
” Then come let me show you around” he said taking hold of my hand
**********
Richard have a very beautiful house, he has a pool inside his house, we were currently sitting at the pool site
” Your house is very beautiful” I said
” But not as you” Richard said making me to blush
” I look like a mess” I wisper to myself, suddenly feeling self conscious
” That is not true, you look so beautiful” he said probably to make me happy
” Thank you, you are such a gentle man” I said making us both to start laughing
Then the awkward silent came again, I knew he have a lot to ask me but I don’t think am ready to answer any now and he seems to know he didn’t ask
” So…how is very thing, works and all” I ask I miss out there, but the fear of running into Alex was what kept me inside but not for long once am fully recovered I will leave this county, I will leave all my memory here and start new somewhere far, I will have to ask Richard for another favor not now..
” Work is fine, so is everything” he said
” Okay” I said not knowing what else to say, I admire the pool, I will love to swim but because of my injury, I couldn’t
” Do you want to swim” Richard ask as he saw the way am looking at the pool
” Yes, I will like that but..I can’t” I said
” Who said you can’t, you can just put you leg inside the water it will make you feel better” he said
” No , am good” I said my voice not sounding conceiving enough
Richard stood up and came toward me and bend down..once I notice what he was about to do i started protesting
” No….No.. Richard!!!” He slowly carried me in his hands towards the pool, this so so embarrassing, once we get to the pool he gentle put me down
” Now sit and put your leg inside the water, you are harassing the poor water with your longing eye” he said with a joking voice as we started laughing
I sat down and put my leg in the water it feels good ” thanks!” I said
” Anything for my princess” he said as he sat beside me, making me to blush again
Never knew Richard will be free like this, when I first met him, he look so strict and handsome, I never know he has a soft spot
” Is there something on my face” he said, I then realized that I was staring, so embarrassing I quickly remove my face, he started laughing

Alex POV
It has been weeks now leaving without Rose, is a hell for me
I can’t help but to think of her with Richard sharing the same house and doing everything else together it drives me mad
” We can’t do this what if it backs fire” Philip argue for the second time
” I Will handle everything, just do your part” I yell at him, since I have giving him this task, he had done nothing but to be a failure
I want my Rose back by all means, I have wanted to forget her but non of the girls where doing it for me not even faith
” Alex please…just calm down and think about this, attacking Richard in his house is a war line and very risky one at that” he said
” Then what do you suggest” I shouted, I can’t seeing him leaving with Rose, it ki||s me
” Let’s find a way and draw him out of his house, then we will attack him” Philip said..
He had a point ” how!, He has been working from home for the past week” I said
” I will found a way” Philip said
” You will found a way? Are you serious” I shouted, then an idea entered my mind
” You have that look, what are you thinking” Philip ask
” I think I have found an easy way, Tina his manager” I said with a smirk on my face
Philip face was full with supprise ” will she agree” he ask
” I put her there, why not and if I offer her money I bet she will agree to do as I want, and if not I will have to look for a way to make her do it, am getting Rose back” I said
” Nice one, let us hope it will work” Philip said
” It will” I said
