“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!"
Rose let out a loud scream as she quickly jolted awake from her sleep. Her upper clothes was soaked in sweat despite the fact that air conditioner was turned on. She has a completely pale face regardless of her naturally pale skin.
It was only when she opened her eyes did she realize that she had fallen asleep and had a nightmare.
“I thought one was supposed to have nightmares when it's night?" Rose mumbled, trying to catch her breath while running a hand through her head. It was a terrible dream of herself dying again and she got to see the evil and wicked smile on Sophia's face again.
Just as she was trying to regain herself, she heard a knock on the door. “Come in.” She answered in a gentle voice.
The door opened and Paige strolled into the room with another maid carrying a tray behind her. Paige gestured the maid to leave after she placed the tray on the table.
“I brought you something to freshen yourself before dinner is prepared." Paige said as stared at Rose who was still dressed in the same clothes she had worn since she arrived. Her appreance and hair was a bit messy.
“Oh, thank you aunty." Rose nodded at Paige and tried to smile at her but she couldn't bring herself to smile.
“Are you okay, Young Miss?” Paige asked not able to take her eyes off Rose's pale expression.
"Y-yes, I am.” Rose nodded her head.
" Are you sure? I heard you scream earlier, is there something wrong?” Paige went straight to the point and asked. She was just a few steps away from Rose's bedroom when she heard the scream.
“It's nothing. It seems like I remembered something and it made me scream like that. Anyways, thank you for bringing me something to eat.” Rose said as she stood up from the bed.
"It seems you remember something? Young Miss are you sure-"
“Oh, yes, I'm very much okay Aunty." Rose didn't let Paige finish her words as she gently pushed her to the door and opened it. “Thank you for worrying about me but I'm okay." She added before pushing Paige out of her room and closed the door.
Rose let out a sigh after successfully getting rid of Paige. She heads to the bathroom to freshen up seeing how soaked her clothes were due to the sweat.

An expensive black car drove and parked in front of Gray main building. The driver got out of the car and walked to the other side and opened the backseat door. A middle aged woman dressed in an expensive dress climbed out of the car.
The maid at the entrance door quickly bowed their head when they sighted her.
“Welcome back, Madam." They greeted her and she only nodded her head at them before walking passed them and headed straight to her bedroom.
“Madam...Madam... Hurry. Madam!" Beatrice who was sitting in front of the dressing table removing the makeup she worn today was startled by the sound of a maidservant.
"Mary, what is your problem? Are you planning to give me a heart attack? Why are you screaming out my name like that?” Beatrice had a displeased expression on her face as she glanced at the Mary who had barged into her room without knocking on the door.
"I'm sorry about that, Madam. But there is a more pending issue than that." Mary apologize for her rude action holding her chest as if she was just running for her life. She resumed back to what had brought her into the room. She was one the maid Beatrice trusted and was close to in the mansion.
