Chapter 3

"I don't believe this!" Rose exclaimed. She was quite taken aback when Ton didn't knock Adrian down. It was almost evening, they finished their studies and were sitting on the couch next to each other. Relaxing.

"Good to know that you're not as nerdy as I heard of you" He chuckled.

"My phone's gone!" She cried dallying the sim card that she had found beneath several broken pieces.

"You.....  Excuse me!"  his phone buzzed. He picked up but no one answered then there was a loud screeching sound, then a girl answered sobbing and rambling about giving the phone to Stacy. Rose knew something was up. He gave the phone to Stacy.

"Stacy, I knew you would call. Are you okay?"

"Rose...help me. Come over to Ton's...house. He is not a human...he is a we..olf.. Rose save me please!" Stacy spoke hurriedly.

"Listen to me very carefully, hide yourself and stay strong"

"Rose...I love you" She said sobbing and hung up.

"We have to hurry Ad" Stacy grabbed his car keys.

"I'm coming with you"

She drove the car and went on a speed rampage.

"How are we going inside his house?" Adrian asked.

"I know a way"

They reached Ton's house within a matter of few seconds but to her surprise there were guard at the back door too from where had thought of sneaking into his house.

"We want to meet Ton" She said to the guards. A guard called Ton and after they hung up, he shook his head. They were taken to his room, they knocked his door and he opened.

"Welcome, come on in" He said smiling.

"How did the baby snakes come to the eagle's nest today?" He said throwing himself on the couch, his one leg over another. Rose flourished a knife, she took small timid steps towards him.

"Whoa! Easy there young women" Ton said smiling, slowly raising his hands up.

"Where is Stacy?" She asked him.

"Don't you know we broke up?" He said acting innocent.

"Stop acting sweet, I got a call from her. What did you do to her?" She pointed the knife at him.

"I swear, she's not here" He stood up.

"Adrian!" She called out. Adrian took a few steps forward.

"Let me call her, I will put it on speaker" He said dialing her number. He put it on speaker. Rose's heartbeats fastened with every dial ring.

"Why have you called me now?" Stacy shouted. Yes, it was Stacy's voice. Rose could never have been mistaken with her voice.

"Just tell me where are you"

"I am at my place. Where else would I be?" She hung up.

She threw the knife away. Why did Stacy do this? Adrian patted her back, both of them turned around to leave.

"Rose!" He said. She turned around to face him.

"You look hot in those" He winked, pointing at her hot pants. She gave him a death glare, her eyes were already red with all the tears. Adrian looked at him, then both of them left. They were not being led by a man. They saw a handsome man, all suited and booted standing near the doorway with a couple of other men, as both of them were about to walk past them, Rose didn't take notice of the bump in the carpet, causing her to trip over it and fall straight into the man's arms.

"Good catch!"Adrian exclaimed.

Rose turned crimson, she continued to look down for a while, her hands on the man's broad chest, his hands her arms.It felt like both of them had no mood to break off. The man didn't pull her away. Rose took the courage to make herself move, she made herself stand in an upright position. The romantic interlude was over.

She looked up, her eyes widened, her lips parted, she downcast her gaze.

"I am very sorry sir" She repeated twice. She looked up.

"Oh! never mind. Young lady, I hope you're not hurt" Said the man with a grating voice.

"Yes, Sir. I am fine. Thank you" She smiled, her cheeks showing a tint of pink.

He smiled back. She again downcast her stare.

"Good evening sir..." She greeted and was about to leave.

"Evening..Miss?"

"Rosaleen...Rosaleen Moore" She said and smiled.

They shook hands, his bold gaze stuck at her. After a couple of talks with the man, both Rose and Adrian left the mansion. As they got in the car to leave, Adrian spoke up, "Who was the guy back there?"

"You surely don't want to know..." Said Rose pulling away the car from the curb. He raised an eyebrow.

"He is city's number 1 business men, he has hotels, clubs, bars and apartments all over the world. Evan is his name" Rose told him.

"Ah!" He replied.

"If he fancies you, you're in danger. He has girls begging him to get them in bed. He is kind of THE BAD GUY"

They reached back to find a lot of people gathered in one place.

"Go park this baby and I will check out" She hopped out of her car. She squeezed herself through the crowd to take  a good look of what was going on. Somebody was wrapped in white from top to bottom. There were tapes all around the area. They took the body in a stretcher and put it into the van. The police was talking to Principal Weber.

"Has there been an accident? Who was it?"

"It's the girl from  room no. 32 , Ton's girlfriend" The guy replied probably not knowing who Rose was.

"Miss. Moore?...."
