Her nerves went haywire. Her instinct warned her to run! This is bad! Someone had seen her! Knowing how many eyes, ears, and hands that Lady Ashley had around the house, she feared the person who had noticed her was one of her people. Rose's worries were less of her wellbeing at this point. She knew now Lady Ashley is capable to kill her, take her life. But she was more worried that she won't be able to warn Dominic of the vicious plan that his step mother had planned. Rose looked behind her as she rushed outside when her face had bumped into something hard. Fear immediately caught her entire body as she knew there was no wall in front of her. In a quick second, Rose first thought was to attack whoever in front of her. If she was about to get hurt, she had to protect herself and hurt the other person in the moment of surprise! With a heavy swing, Rose raised her hand and moved it across the other person's face. A loud sound of slap echoed and Rose's face paled. It became even more

Dominic's eyes narrowed seeing the one fly who kept staring at his face. He held Rose's hand naturally and looked aside to her older sister who unlike her sweet smell held a deep rotten scent, making his nose to wince at the sharp stinky fragrance. But the fly had the worse scent compared to the rest."Sister," Rose looked at her sister, wondering if this was only her dream, "I didn't know you would come here!" Her voice was filled with happiness as she went to hug her sister.Josie's hand was spread on air as Rose went to hug her. His arm remained on the air as she didn't returned her sister's hug. In a slow and hesitant movement she patted Rose's back."I asked, Gabby and aunty to come. I wanted to… see you," Josie answered, forcing herself to smile.She recalled to the past days before she had decided to come and visit the castle. After promising to Jayden she would help him meet Rose, she wrecked her mind, trying to find a way in which she could both let Jayden meet her sister and

Baby blue sky above Rose's head was a breath of fresh air for her. The tea table and chairs had been set for the ladies under the large wings of the parasol. Most ladies spent their time chatting and Rose noticed how there was less people in the family. With only two guests in addition, there was only a total of six people in the forest.Gabby had ran toward the seat, trying to hide herself from Dominic until his anger would die down. Embarrassment still covered her face.Josephine on the other hand, kept close eyes on Dominic and Rose. She wanted a time to be alone with her younger sister but Dominic had never once left Rose's side, making it difficult for her to share anything personal."It is Rose's first time in a hunting game, but the basic is the same," Lady Ashley spoke. Riding her horse, she made her way next to Rose and Dominic. "It's a simple hunting game, darling. The person who acquire the best prey would then get the prize as the winner."Rose lifted her chin to meet Lady

Rose walked closer to the stallion who was much taller than she thought. She wondered how to climb over when Dominic had taken a seat on the saddle and it appeared there were no more space for her… unless if she pressed her body close enough to him…Dominic saw her hesitation and a grin settled on his lips. Leaning forward, he caught Rose by her waist, startling her but that wasn't the end to the surprise. With one pull, he had brought Rose to sit in front of him on the saddle.Rose flinched when she felt the light shake as the horse moved a step. Her hands went out to hold for the firmest object near her, causing her to wrap her arms over Dominic's shoulders.Her heart shook from both surprise and nervousness to see how near Dominic's face was across her."I don't mind if you would like sit like this the entire ride," Dominic woke her stunned self with his seductive words.Rose blinked while staring at him before rushing to position both her legs on the sides of the horse. She thanke

It wasn't the first for Dominic to take lives. It was as easy as to breathe to defeat the people around him. His life had been threaten since his birth. The experience of trying to survive make him knew what to do when being surrounded by many people around him.Taking the head of the group would be the easiest way to defeat the entire group. Therefore, he went for the person who had argued with him.The men's eyes were glued on him. Before rushing into the kill, they subtly sent sign that they had prepared beforehand to attack all at once. But in a single second of inattention, Dominic had disappeared from their sight.The surprised head of the group flung his head right and left, yelling, "WHERE THE HELL IS HE?!"The others couldn't see Dominic at all despite having been staring at the man, trying to hunt him from the beginning he had entered the forest. Yet he had disappeared akin to a dispersed fog."If only you knew who you were trying to hunt," Dominic's voice appeared on the le
