CHAPTER 4 The Plan Initiation

Rose got up early in the morning, got ready as usual in her favorite color and favorite dress, a red long frock.

Since childhood she likes red the color most. When her mom was alive, she used to make her wear red color on her every birthday and after her demise, her caretaker, aunty Mona, Laura’s mother carry on this tradition.

When she has grown-up enough to get ready by herself, she only wears red dresses on her birthday specially frocks.

Today only the style has changed with the age she becomes a complete lady, but still she didn’t change this thing wearing a red dress on her birthday because her deceased mother started this tradition. She was tiny when her mother departed in a car accident and his father never married again and gave all his love to his daughters.

Once aunt Mona told her that her mother was deeply fond of red color especially roses that’s why she named her Rose and Rose is also inherit her fondness of liking red color from her mother, she also likes red color.

Being ready, she came down after opening her Red Velvet bakery on its regular time and asked Laura to take care of it.

Herself get seated on the driving seat of her newly purchased red-colored Mercedes SUV and drove off towards the cemetery on the hills.

She moved to her parent’s graves which are together side by side; she knelt down in front of the grave, look towards her parents together pic and immediately controlled her emotions and didn’t let her tear fall.

For her it’s a special day she doesn’t want to spoil it by shedding tears, she took out a wine bottle with one goblet from the carry bag she was carrying and spill some wine on graves and then spread many red roses all over the grave making it like the sheet of red roses, once again she down on her knees in front of her father’s grave and said with pride, not with the grievance.

“Dad congratulations from now on you don’t have to be in pain anymore because the people who brought you the pain will be getting their retribution very soon.”

“Don’t worry dad, I won’t do anything which I should not do and make it uneasy for you and mom’s spirit in heaven, Lord Jesus is always with me for showing me the right path you know how much I am dear to Lord Jesus so don’t worry about me here you take good care of mom and yourself.”

She turned towards her mother’s grave beside her father’s grave, “And mom you too, don’t worry about me at all, I am fine here you be happy with dad.”

Rose stood up after talking to her parents very normally as they are not deceased and only somewhere abroad.

A smile on her face and gentleness on her voice has evaporated as instant and again cold and indifferent look captured all her previous expressions.

After graveyard she drove to the church, her mother was a big devotee, and she inherits her mom’s most of the habits and likes and dislikes. Her mother once told her that if you call Lord Jesus with all your pure heart, he will come and protect you in all your problems and be your side in all your all ups and downs.

Little Rose at her tender age started thinking that lord Jesus is her friend that’s why he will be with her in all her good and bad times and come to her aid if she will encounter any problem.

She used to call Lord Jesus in all her problems, though she never saw this from her naked eye, but she started believing that he only has solved her problem because Lord Jesus helped her many times.

Similarly, like her mother she also becomes devoted, she used to share many things from God on her own and her all-important decisions she used to say in front of Lord Jesus’s idol, as like today she is here.

She knelt in front of lord Jesus’s idol and convey her regards first.

“Lord today I am going to take the first step towards my motives I want you to beside me on my every step, I know you will be there as my friend but please don’t get upset with me if I will do something wrong which I shouldn’t do, but that they deserve to severe punishment even God wants to do it through me then you should help me regardless of my way of dealing with.”

Rose after praying some more time and told many more things to lord Jesus about her plan walked out of the church and moved towards her car, after getting inside the driving seat she didn’t drive off instantly but she took out her laptop from the back seat, open it connect it with a few websites, and message someone.

A middle-elderly woman was walking on a road, looking a little tired from face suddenly her old style mobile phone beeps with a notice.

‘Miss Sandra, how much will you earn like this being a home tutor all your life, want to earn big? How about One million dollars? If the deal is harmonious, just reply to this message with ‘YES’ if you type any other single word, I will consider it as a ‘NO’ from your side.’

Sandra is a middle-aged woman who is suffering from financial issues for a long, her husband is a jobless drunkard who spent all her hard-earned money on his useless activities and drinks.

Sandra is facing financial issues, she needs money for her son’s education who is a high school student.

Miss Sandra was in a dilemma about what she should do. She knows that this much amount is not what somebody gives her as a charity, there is no free lunch in this world. Another party will definitely ask her to do and that could be anything, perhaps illegal or risky or out of ethics. She wanted to ask what they want from her, but if she will reply to anything other than yes, it will consider as no.

‘What should I do? Should I say ‘yes’ or ‘no?’.

After thinking for long she decided to message as ‘YES’ because for such a big amount she is ready to do anything, after being in poverty and facing the world of humiliation because of poverty for such long, she considers that money is a must need to solve every problem.

 ‘YES,’

Rose who was looking towards her laptop screen after sending a message to miss Sandra from her laptop, her sexy red glossy lips break into a devilish smirk after receiving the reply as ‘YES’, she was sure it Miss Sandra will accept this offer.

Miss Sandra’s mobile again beeps with a message tone.

‘Wonderful choice.’

Next second another message arrived in her inbox.

‘Your account no ********** has been credited with the amount $ 10,000/-.’

Miss Sandra’s eyes become wide in shock she got that the mysterious person doing this, but the next second she becomes nervous thinking what she has to do for this amount in payback, but before she can assume further her mobile again beeps with a message style.

Miss Sandra knew now it’s time to listen to what a mysterious person wants her to do. She opens her inbox with a trembling hand.

‘Don’t be nervous you don’t have to do anything gargantuan, you just have to keep your eyes and ears open with all your sense and give me all valuable, economic and secret information of Mr. Alan Lee and Mrs. Lily when you go to give tuition to their son and try to dig as a good deal of information as you can from the child, servant, or anyone around them.’

‘After each valuable information you will get a reward of the same amount, you just have one-week time.’

‘Don’t forget to delete the message after reading it.’

Miss Sandra just then noticed that another party is using different numbers to message her every time, she even got that she is under the other party’s scrutiny.

For a few seconds she becomes nervous but next moment she consoles herself and thought it’s not an enormous deal she just has to sell a few financial and personal report of Mr. Alan Lee and Mrs. Lily, it will not bring any harm to these big shot people they have millions in their many accounts and she is empty-handed what is the big deal if she will earn a bit like this?

Miss Sandra smile, once again look towards the message she received such an enormous amount in a nanosecond.

Her tired face glows with happiness she puffed her chest with pride and called for a cab like a noble lady.

From now on, she doesn’t need to travel by bus or walk as a pedestrian. She has money, she will hail a cab and reach faster and try to grab as much information and earn as much money as she can.

While thinking this she hops into the cab, stopped in front of her, and carried towards Lee Mansion.

Rose’s always stony face grew in an ironic smile seeing the total change of attitude of Miss Sandra through her laptop screen by the hacking surveillance security camera of the notorious busy broad road of the Duluth City.

Rose was sure that Miss Sandra will definitely agree to this job without going to think further, just for money. She is not only needy but greedy, and just sometimes before her facial expression confirms that she is ready to do anything for money.

Even Rose doesn’t desire to watch on her after transferring advance payment because she knows she will not trick her but deceive Alan Lee and his wife Lily. She shook her head and murmurs, “Greedy people!!!”

Rose closed her laptop and sped off towards her Red Velvet bakery, it’s almost time to closed down the bakery and open up the café, she knew Laura will handle these things she doesn’t need to consider about that.

She penetrated in café from the tail door with her extra key; she has and went towards the kitchen opened the cabinet and took out two big cookie jars keeping them aside she touched the last tile behind the cabinet making it wall split into two parts and entered big safety vault after unlocking its biometric lock by her fingerprints.

She stepped to the finished wall of the safety vault and brushed the last corner of it, wall slide automatically and a behind it another wall was visible which was like a Pinboard covered with several photos of several people pinned on it and Rose also pinned and marked many news clips and informative cuttings.

Rose picks the marker pen from one side of the wall and circled one photo of a lady whose name is written in bold below the photo, ‘Mrs. Lily Clarke (Lee).’

“Lily, count your days.” Rose mumbles.
