Nicholas came into the room to find Rose crying. He stopped at first and watched her with a blank expression. Deep down, he felt sad that she was crying. He thinks it's because of him and he doesn't know what to do. He moved closer to her and bent to her level. "What's wrong? Are you crying because I looked for you and brought you back?" He asked, trying to touch her. She jerked his hand off in anger, "Don't touch me! This is all your fault! Everything is happening because of you! You are getting in the way of my freedom! Just leave me alone!!!" She already yelled those words before she realized the gravity of what she said. She realized she has hurt his feelings. He moved away from her and found himself a seat. He sat on the couch staring at her. He did not show his emotions and how deep the words cut through him like a knife. He thought about it. He hated it. "You can go." He suddenly said, gaining her attention. She stopped crying and turned to him. "What?" "I hate it w

Ellen had gotten up early to see Nicholas. She got herself ready and wanted to go out with him like they used to do before. She didn't like the idea that he was with Rose which is why she has been staying away from him for days. She thought he would get tired of Rose soon and dump her, however that did not seem to happen. After dressing up, she decided to go to his villa to see him. She knows he has a meeting today so she was going to wait for him and surprise him. When she got there, she stopped by the bedroom to see if Rose will still be there and didn't find anyone. She found it strange that her things are still around and she is not there. Then she left the bedroom to check the dining area, she still did not find Rose there. Ellen did not think Rose would be in the private living room but somehow, she had a hunch to check there. On getting there, she found Rose searching the room which made her quickly conclude Rose was a spy. “This is my chance to get her out of my

Nicholas did not understand why she kept silent. He moved closer to her but she kept moving back. Then he saw the reason why. Her eyes are widened, staring at the gun in his hands. He immediately put the gun away. "Why aren't you telling me? I want to know how you are feeling." He demanded. Rose's heart dropped, in relief. "How... How am I doing?" He nodded, "You were passed out since yesterday and we've barely had time to talk. Are you okay now? Tell me how you are feeling." Rose sighed in relief one more time, he didn't catch her yet. He was talking about her health. She decided to play it as she would. "I am better, thanks for asking." She replied him and wanted to walk away. However, he pulled her by the arm and stopped her from leaving. He looked her straight in the eyes like he was searching for something. She didn't understand what was going on with him but his eyes seems to be softer than before. "What do you want? I thought I already told you I

Some days later, things between Rose and Nicholas are going well. She's been going to training and the one training her is Nicholas. Since he is not willing to let another man touch her, he decided to do it himself. He found himself liking her more every passing day. "That's all for today. You should get changed and come home with me." Nicholas suggested after the end of a training session. She scoffed, "You just love showing off to everyone, don't you? Thanks to you, the girls here think I am getting special treatment because I share your bed." His eyes widened, "What? Who said that? Tell me their names right now!" She laughed, "Look at you getting worked up when I am the one getting insulted. It's okay, I've heard worse things than this before. It's not the first time." This made Nicholas feel somehow bad for her. Maybe his love for her is getting stronger every day. She was able to break the walls he built for years with so much ease. "I know what to do

Rose did not stop getting threats from the organization day after day while she stayed with Nicholas. She was very worried that she finally decided to see Don Bernardo herself. Nicholas has travelled for a few days so Rose decided to go out alone without having the bodyguards follow her. Nicholas didn't want her to get into trouble again so he asked some people to follow her wherever she goes and protect her. She managed to convince them to stay away and sneaked to the organisation undercover. On getting there, she happened to bump into Harry. "Look who we have here." Harry smiled evilly which is totally annoying for Rose, "You finally decided to say hi. I thought you wouldn't want to come back thanks to your new lover." Rose scoffed, "As you can see, I didn't come here to talk to underdogs. Move out of my way, I have important things to do." This angered Harry, Rose is disrespecting him again. He wanted to say something but Kay came into the scene at that time
