The Great Seducer 35
Opening the door to the private living room, Rose found it empty and dark. She decided to turn on the flashlight of her phone so as to not attract any unwanted attention. She remembered getting caught here the last time and just wanted to be careful. She looked around the room and found the switch to the hidden bedroom. She pressed the button and the door opened. She went inside and the door closed automatically. She didn't expect it to close so fast so it scared her a bit. "That startled me! What a door!" She said, holding her chest. She guiltily stood in the room, not knowing where to start from. She opened the shelf and started going through the documents. She saw all the documents are important. They all have records of his assets and more, which is what Don Bernardo wants. However, she hasn't seen the main one. She checked for the ones she can carry and put the rest back. Just then, she heard footsteps from the other room. She immediately hid the document

Nicholas walked into the room and the door shut behind him. He felt a bit nervous facing Rose. He could see the look in her eyes. She heard everything and now she must be having the wrong idea. "I can explain." Was the first thing he said to her. She scoffed, "This is annoying no matter how I think of it. What exactly have I been doing since? I can't believe I thought I would have a chance with you. How stupid of me." Nicholas rushed to her, "Wait, I am telling you it is not what you think. I promise you that's not true. What I feel for you is real." Rose tried to avoid his eyes but he made her look at him. "Let me go. I don't want to stay here." Nicholas shook his head. His heart felt like it was being stabbed every time she rejected him. He couldn't take her ignoring him. "You have to listen to me. Why do you keep acting like this? You know I've done nothing wrong." He pleaded with her. She folded her arms across her chest, "What exactly do you want me to say? What more

Rose managed to get into the car. She held her tummy where she got shot and looked around. She groaned in pain, scared and worried she might die now. She pulled herself together and started the car. She knows it's not going to be easy for her to go to an hospital now. Whoever did this definitely wants her dead. The car turned way too fast and moved recklessly. Most people had to move out of the way because of the chaos. No one understands why the driver drove that way. She was slowly losing her consciousness as the pain got worse. She became too weak but she tried her best to stay awake to safety. She knows he would help her. She is going to the only person she feels would be on her side. The one who would rescue her even if she commited a grave sin against him. She finally managed to get to the gates. The gate opened, she tried driving weakly. She groaned as her car drove inside. She stopped at the gate, and opened the car door. She dragged herself out of the car,

Footsteps could be heard as the atmosphere is filled with fear. Everywhere is dark and has no end. She kept running in circles, unable to see anything. Her breath came out erratic, it was hard catching her breath after running like something is chasing her. She looked around, unable to speak or call for help. She hoped she would see the light as everything seems to be draining off her. "ROSE!" That voice gave her hope and brought her from the dark. She finally saw the light when she opened her eyes. She has been dreaming all along. She looked around where she is and found herself in a familiar place. Why does heaven look like this? Isn't she dead? Why is this place similar to his room? ‘I shouldn't be hoping for heaven. I must be in hell right now since I have been the worst human alive.’ She thought. But when something moved beside her, she was brought back to reality. She doesn't understand if her brain is playing tricks on her or not but she needs to check herself. She saw

BANG! The door barged open and an enraged human stormed in. The air that followed him seems to be in support of his anger too. Don Bernardo sighed in frustration, knowing what would come out of his mouth the moment he came in. "What's it again this time? Is she dead?" Don Bernardo asked him. Kay's eyes widened in shock, he did not think that his father would be capable of doing such a despicable thing. They have done a lot of evil things but killing people was not part of it. He thought his father was just threatening Rose back then. He fell on the chair, his legs became too weak to stand. He looked his father in the eyes, his eyes getting red. "Dad, was it really you? You sent someone to kill her?" He asked again to be sure. Don Bernardo scoffed, "Please, I have no idea what you are talking about. I am just asking if she's dead or not. That's the only reason you would barge in like this." The denial got Kay more mad than before. "Are you fucking with

Ellen walked out of the club trying to find Kay but she did not see him anywhere. She scoffed angrily. She had seen Kay watching the gate when she drove by earlier. She pretended to be going somewhere else to see who the person was. She parked the car somewhere closeby and watched Kay for as long as he stayed there. She knows no one would dare stay right in front of Nicholas's resident unless they want something. After watching the car leave, she decided to follow the person and found out it's a man. She saw the man chasing away everyone that came towards him so she tried. She is surprised to see how good looking he is and wondered what he could want. She decided to feed her curiousity by mentioning Rose. To her surprise, he reacted in a different way. She knows he is hiding something from her. She drove back to the villa and asked Nicholas to see her outside. She is ready to expose Rose though she may not have full evidence yet. If only Nicholas would investigate her, then

Nicholas went back to the room to check on Rose. After he cooked for her, she took drugs rested. She has been asleep for a few hours and he has been busy watching her before Ellen called him. He sat down beside her, admiring her with a smile. He is relieved that she is safe now but is furious because he hasn't caught the culprit yet. His mind went to what Ellen said about Rose. He did not believe it. He only thinks Ellen is doing this out of spite for Rose. He understands why Ellen sees her as a competition, it's all because of him. "I am going to catch the bastards that did this to you. I'll make them pay enough that they'll never come across me in their next lives." He promised holding her hand. She opened her eyes with a smile, "Thanks for your promise." His eyes lit up, "You are awake. How do you feel now? Do you need anything?" She shook her head, "I don't need anything. You are already here, that's all I need. You shouldn't act recklessly just to get revenge. I don't want

Nicholas left the hospital after sorting out what he needed and went straight home to Rose. He couldn't stop thinking about Ellen on the way. The fact that Ellen got into an accident just because of him made him realize how obsessive she was. He had never thought of it that way but with what he has seen now, he doesn't need to be told twice. There's definitely something wrong with Ellen if she's keeps acting that way. Things are not supposed to be like that. He got back home and went to the training building first to get some things from her apartment before going to his villa. FLASHBACK "Don't leave Nicholas. Can't you just stay with me?" She said, weakly closing her eyes and holding on to him tight. Nicholas sighed in frustration. She looked so pale and weak, why is she thinking of him at a time like this? "I don't know what you are doing right now. You got hurt and you should focus on getting better not doing this. Just rest up." He scolded her. However, she is not the ty
