Authors pov
Damian woke up early in the morning, he saw the empty couch and guessed that she already left for the gym, he did his morning business and when he opened the drawer to find his shaving razor he saw an opened packet of tampon, it was Rose's drawer so he quickly closed it and got ready. He head towards the gym where she was already doing her workout with the same intensity as everyday,
but her face was looking tired, she finished her workout while Damian was observing her silently doing his own exercise. Rose stood up and placed her hands on her waist, she gently rubbed her stomach, which confirmed him that she is on her periods.
He finished his workout and ordered maids to make something healthy for breakfast.
After taking shower and getting ready for the day they both head towards the dinning hall, Rose excused herself from Damian and walked towards the kitchen to make herself a coffee, Emily bloomed in excitement when she saw her crush walking towards her...
"Good morning miss.."
She greeted her blushing, Rose looked at her confused, she had no idea why this girl always blushes while talking to her, she didn't knew that Emily is a lesbian and she has a huge crush on her...
Rose greeted her back keeping her mobile on the kitchen counter she started making herself a coffee, Emily was standing close to her pouring a soup in bowl instead of using another empty counters in the big kitchen, she was about to pick up the bowl but by getting distracted from Rose's charm that stupid girl was about to dip her fingers in the hot soup, Rose noticed it and quickly snatched her hand before she could burn herself...
"What are you doing, be careful you will burn yourself..."
Rose said in scolding voice, turning Emily in crimson red colour...
"Thank you so much..."
She thanked her shyly, Rose nodded at her and left the kitchen with her coffee...
Maisy noticed everything but she didn't even dared to make eye contact with Rose, she was beyond scared of her. Maisy had seen how Rose killed that blonde girl, she witnessed everything while Emily was sleeping peacefully in her room...
She warned Emily to stay away from Rose saying that she is dangerous but Emily was blinded by Rose's charm...
"Wow ! She is so caring, did you see maisy how she saved me, I am sure she likes me too, oh my god she is so cool..."
She chirped in excitement, while maisy shook her head disappointingly at her childish behaviour...
Rose entered the dinning hall and everyone was already present there. She placed her coffee on the table and was about to sit but then she remembered that she left her mobile in the kitchen, she excused herself again and walked towards the kitchen leaving her coffee there in front of him Damian, he smirked looking at her coffee, as soon as she left he picked up the mug and took a sip of her delicious coffee...
"Dude you are literally stealing her coffee..."
Jack said shaking his head...
"Yes, I am.... can't help it, it's delicious..."
Damian accepted it shamelessly...
Rose entered the kitchen and heard the two maids whispering...
"Stay away from her Emily, she is not a good woman, she is a murderer"
Maisy again warned Emily...
"Ohh come on maisy everyone in this house are criminals and murderers, and don't talk about Rose like that please..."
Emily defended her...
"You are saying this because you didn't saw her killing that girl, she is heartless and she won't think twice before hurting you too, Rose is a monster Emily stay away from her..."
Maisy tried to make her understand...
Emily was about to answer her but stopped when she saw Rose standing behind maisy, maisy followed the direction of her eyes and her heart almost came out of her chest when she saw Rose, maisy started shaking in fear...
Rose noticed how much this girl was scared of her and why wouldn't she be, she kept her face calm like she didn't heard them calling her a monster, she picked up her mobile from the counter and went to the dinning hall, even if she didn't displayed it on her face but deep inside it hurts when people call her that or names, this was the same fear she saw in Lilly's eyes that night that's why she decided to keep minimum contact with her and ignore her...
She herself always regrets killing people but she has no choice so she always console herself saying that the people she killed were not innocent, she has never hurt any innocent person in her life and she promised herself that she will never do that otherwise she will die in her own ocean of guilt in which she is already drowning, even if she have to break the rules she swore by she will never hurt an innocent...
But still maisy's words hurts her...
"Am I really a monster?"
She asked herself but got no answer, all the faces whom she has killed mercilessly flashed in front of her face making her shiver...
She sat besides Damian and saw him drinking her coffee but she was lost in her thoughts to acknowledge that...
Jack made a joke on something and saw thar was Rose was zoned out...
"Right Rose?"
His voice brought her back from her trance...
"Sorry, I didn't hear, what were you saying?"
She asked looking at him...
"I was saying that I hate you..."
He said giving her a tight smile, Lilly's eyes snapped towards him...
"Cool, I am not here to impress you..."
Rose said with a shrug making jack drop his playful smile, Lilly burst out laughing, and Damian chuckled looking at jacks expressions...
*****
Damian went to his office and Rose went to the library, she walked towards the section from where she took previous books, but her eyes narrowed in confusion when she saw all the crime stories books were replaced with erotic ones, she checked other sections but even horror and action genres was replaced by romantic and erotic books...
"Who replaced all the books?..."
She mumbled in confusion, she decided to do something else for passing the time but she didn't had much to do, she started to sharpen her Blades and knifes, cleaned her guns but still got bored after finishing that, sighing she decided to read books once again thinking not every aisle will contain romantic books, she entered the library and started looking for books but all of them turned out to be love Stories, finally she found one book which she thought she can read to pass the time...
Damian was watching her actions sitting in his office through cameras grinning evilly, last night when he saw her reading thriller genre he texted jack to replace all the books with erotic stories, he wanted her to come out of her world of fight, violence and crime and introduce her to the world of pleasure, lust and maybe love and care...
Rose read half of the book and placed it back on its place, she didn't like it, that book was pulling her towards the emotions from which she always ran away...
She turned around and saw Lilly standing there, she gave a nervous smile to Rose...
"Hey, I am just here for some books, sorry if I disturbed you..."
Rose noticed the hesitation in her voice...
"No you didn't..."
Rose wanted to talk to her but to whom she was kidding, she don't know how to talk or start a conversation with someone...
"Why are you so scared of me?"
She asked straightforward catching Lilly off guard ...
"W..what m..me scared, no why would I be?"
Lilly said nervously...
"I can clearly see that in your eyes... Is it because of what you saw that night?..."
Rose said grabbing her attention, Lilly stood there silently thinking what to say...
"Y...Yes"
She confirmed hesitantly...
"It's my job Lilly, I had to kill her to protect boss, I am not a psycho to hurt everyone who comes in front of me so, you don't have to be scared of me, I am not here to hurt you..."
Rose said with straight face...
Lilly felt guilty after listening her...
"Hey! I am sorry I didn't mean it like that, I know its your job but it was too much for me that's why I behaved like this, I am sorry..."
She replied walking towards her...
Rose nodded in understanding...
"So, which one were you reading..."
Lilly asked smiling changing the awkward topic of their conversation...
