Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 100

"Come on, Roseanne, I know you're in there. Open up. Let's talk."

"Roseanne! Can you hear me?"

...

"Way to go, Roseanne, way to go! Locked the door, huh? You think that will stop me?"

From pleading to calm and gradually raging, Murray's patience was thinning by the moment.

As he was about to give up and turn away, he was caught off-guard by a pair of stern eyes.

Frozen, Murray frowned deeply.

Owen stood on the steps in the dimly lit, narrow stairwell, seemingly having just climbed up to this floor.

Given the time, it was clear why he was there.

After the fiasco with Corley and Owen’s showing up, Murray was infuriated yet realized that the guys around Roseanne weren't so nobodies.

So, after calming down, Murray immediately had someone dig into Owen's background. It turned out Owen was the youngest of the Reynolds family. No wonder even Corley stepped back.

Murray broke the silence. "Here for Roseanne?"

Owen spoke indifferently, "What if I am? What if I'm not?"

Murray cut to the chase. "You should know what she means to me."

Owen challenged, "And?"

Murray's eyes narrowed slightly. "If you were smart, you'd stay away from her."
