“Yes,” Rose whispered. She stood up beside him. Holding the lantern in her hands, her eyes closed. There were many things that she was worried about. She was worried of her sister’s safety. She was worried about her parents. She was concerned of Dominic’s relationship with his family but all she thought when making a wish was only one.She only wanted for the most beloved man in this world who had meant treasures in her life to always be surrounded by happiness and protected from any dangers. She poured her simple wish to the lantern. Even though she wasn’t sure if the lantern could grant her wish, she hoped that it could at least helped for her wish to be heard by the angels and god above. Dominic watched her long lashes that were closed. As she made her wish, he had also made his. Like Rose, he doesn’t believe in making wishes. He couldn’t put his trust on an inanimate object when some of his wishes wouldn’t take place until he endeavored to make it to reality. But he didn’t see

Sounds of crackling rings in the room and the uniform drop of water continue drips from the sink disturbed her sleep. Josephine opened her eyes slowly, looking at the ceiling above her where it was painted white. She stared at the empty space for a long time that almost felt like hours. She didn't seem to be in her mind as she was confused of where she was. She threaded her memories, then recalling how she had witness a kidnapping and the silver haired man who suddenly appeared before her, putting her to sleep!Where was she?! Josie jumped from the bed at once, pushing away the thick duvet that had covered her body. As her feet landed on the cold floor, she looked to her left where she didn’t notice the small creature that had been waiting for her to wake up from her dream. “AAAAA!!!” A loud scream erupted from Josie’s lips as she fell backward to the bed, staring at the moving doll that stared its wide blue eyes toward her. The doll was made from porcelain. Its creamy skin gleamed

Panic surged through Josie’s nerves as she could feel time ticking when the men’s footsteps grew closer to her. Running away from them, she looked around to find a door. Quickly opening the door, she had led herself inside, finding that the room was empty with three bookshelves that covered all the three sides of the room except of the door. She looked around, thinking where she could hide herself as the room was too small for her to hide and directed her eyes to the boxes located near the bookshelves which contained old tattered books.“Maybe she’s here?” The voice of the men grew closer when Josie pushed her back to the door. She panicked as she knew the men would search into the room as it was the only room that had been left open. She began to rethink her choices, regretting she didn’t choose to hide inside the old prison cell instead and perhaps she could escape from their notice. But knowing she didn’t have time, Josie jumped into a box that were empty. Her breaths tightened a

Isaac had clearly hired men to go after Josephine. Right before he had left, he had placed an item that she always brought which would be similar to a tag that would tell him where she is located at, allowing for those men to follow and hunt for her. He didn’t expect for someone who would look so similar to Josephine based on his master’s description. He took a moment of silence before bowing his head and leaving the room to find the bodies of the man that his master had took care of. Upon reaching the hallway, he found that it was indeed the four men he had hired. Their face was spared as their chests had been stabbed, making it easy for him to make sure it was indeed Josie who his master wanted to find for.But why?!Isaac had a bad feeling. He sped forward and bent down to find the item he had given toward the men which was a locket that would glow upon the time he got closer to Josie. As the locket was able to show direction, it was easier for him to follow her.Josie who saw the

Dominic walked back to her side as he noticed how she was out of it, “What’s wrong darling?”“Nothing… I just suddenly feel an ache in my heart,” Rose responded to his words truthfully, having him to gently caress her back. “Don’t worry, I assure you it won’t hinder our plan for today.”Dominic sigh and shook his head. He leaned forward, kissing her forehead and then her lips. “No Rose. You come first, before this event or even me. It’s only a ball party to show everyone that I’m still alive.”Rose smiled upon hearing how he make light of today’s ball when even the King had been invited, “You do know your royal cousin is coming today. If I suddenly become absent on today’s event, I will only put mud on your name.”“If as my cousin, he couldn’t understand that you are ill and instead blame you, then I will gladly stop calling him my cousin,” Dominic stayed firm with his choice, as to him Rose was far more important than anything. “So convince me that you really are healthy before we go
