Black Rose: Revenge Of The Callous Heiress novel Chapter 4

She shivered. She was in extreme pain not from being stabbed but her heart was the one in the pain right now. Her heart sank hopelessly into the dark. Right there and then, her whole world collapsed in front of her.

“Aren't you too smart, sister? It was easy for you to connect the dots. That's right you've been poisoned." Sophia admitted, all smiles in mockery at Roseline.

Roseline gulped. She remembered that Sophia had brought her drink earlier to drink. She didn't think much about it and happily collected it from her sister not knowing that it was already poisoned by Sophia.

“How could you do this to me?" No, why are you both doing this to me?! Answer me, Henry and stop hiding behind Sophia like a coward!" Roseline yelled furiously at Henry. She hadn't had the chance to ask Sophia why she was also doing this to her since it was obvious that she might be jealous of her. She needed answers from Henry himself.

“What exactly do you mean by that you've been enduring me for the past ten years? We grew up together, in high school and even college. Did you forget how you kept chasing me around for a whole year before I finally agreed to be your girlfriend? And then I accepted your proposal after we did our wedding and have been married for a good fucking four years!! Did you forget all those promises you made on our wedding day?!?” She questioned him in a hoarse voice.

“Geez, calm down sister. At this rate you'd only let the poison spread quickly and the pain would be too much-"

“Shut the fuck up, Sophia!! I was talking to the bastard next to you!" Roseline yelled, cutting her off and glared dangerously at her. Sophia wouldn't lie that she didn't feel the murderous intent of the gaze.

Henry ignored her and turned Sophia’s face to him and passionately kissed her on the lips. He only let go of her when the kiss became intense. He finally turned to look at Roseline who was clutching her stomach and barely keeping her balance to stand. “How naive of you. Take a look at yourself. Despite you dressing in an expensive dress, you still can't match the beauty Sophia possesses. You're nothing compared to my Sophia. How could you be worthy of me? You're nothing but a brick wall in my house, if not because of what you possess, did you actually think I'd fake liking you in the slightest?” His eyes were filled with disdain directed at Roseline.

Roseline felt like a bucket of freezing cold water had been poured over her, when she heard his heartless words which caused a dull pain in her heart.

She couldn't believe that the man she loved so deeply was always disgusted by her and wanted to kill her! She had been so careful, but in the end, she was destroyed by that same man as well.

Sophia's lips curled up when she saw the pale expression on Roseline's face. “Does it hurt so much, sister?” She asked but her voice was filled with mockery.
