Venturo kept on exchanging glances at Rosalie but didn't went to her. He just stared at her from a distance. Frustrated, Rosalie walked towards her Father and stood beside him. "So, for how long will you keep me here?". "You're my Heiress". Hendrick replied. "You'll become the next leader of the Vampires". "Your Nephew only told me about protecting me.. he didn't mentioned me becoming a heiress!". She exclaimed. "Yeah.. he didn't wanted you to freak out". Hendrick shrugged. "What's your and Abigail's story?". She asked."We fell in love when we lived in Italy. She went to Italy to study and I was her classmate. We married and then we moved to America and settled here. We were insanely in love with each other but when you were born, and it was revealed that you're not a Vampire, I had to send her away.. divorce her". He told. "Wow! You have a heart of stone, Hendrick.. I'm impressed". She said. "You know, both of you aren't good parents.. you didn't gave your affection to Rhea and

Back at home, Hendrick wandered restlessly here and there while others watched him. No one dared say a word. Luciana, the nanny was dressing Venturo's wounds quietly. Sarah entered the room with Rosalie following her close behind. She stopped and gestured her to moved forwards. Rosalie stood at a distance from Hendrick. He stopped and glared at her. "I TOLD YOU TO BEHAVE!". He yelled. Venturo tried to get up to interfere but Luciana grabbed him by his arm to stop him.Rosalie didn't even flinched and crossed her arms over her chest. "I promised myself that I'll make you regret". "We are trying to keep you safe-". "And use me as well". Rosalie interrupted him. "Save it". "Behave yourself, Rhea". Hendrick gritted his teeth. "Who are you to say that?". Rosalie arched her eyebrow."Me? I'm your father". He replied."Ahem.. no.. Father is someone who is affectionate, kindhearted, he can loose his everything when he sees his children in pain. What kind of father are you? To be hones

Rosalie explored the mansion and searched for an escape but every single door that could lead out was locked. "They did it on purpose". She groaned and kept on walking in the corridors. Some familiar voices caught her attention and she stopped to locate them. There was a big double door ahead. It was slightly open. She peeked inside and found a big round table, around which Hendrick, Vladimir, Brett and Jonas were sitting. Adam was standing beside Hendrick, telling him something from a piece of paper lying on the table. Hendrick kept on pressing his left palm in the middle using his right thumb. Rosalie noticed it at once. She used to do the same to reveal stress. Feeling frustrated, she looked at the other members. Jonas was clearly not paying attention to what Adam was saying and Vladimir was taking notes. Brett listened to his son quietly. "What you're trying to say is that there are two moles?". Hendrick asked Adam. Adam looked at him confusingly. "What? No! I didn't meant tha

The next day, Venturo waited for Rosalie outside on his bike to take her to the city. "I'm so excited!". Rosalie ran at him, jumping excitingly. Venturo smiled. "God! Look at you!". "You have no idea how happy I am". Rosalie sat behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist from the back. "Let's go!"."Yeah". Venturo nodded. The engine roared and they drove away. "Where are they going?". Sophie stood in the main door, watching them as they left."To a wedding". Natalie replied. "How did Uncle Hendrick allow that? She could run away!". Sophie exclaimed."Relax.. Venturo's with her. She won't do anything stupid". Natalie rolled her eyes. "That's the problem.. she's trying to steal him from me". Sophie gritted her teeth. "Oh? So, that's the reason why you hate her?". Natalie chuckled sarcastically. "YES! I love Venturo.. he's only mine". Sophie nodded furiously. "Whoa! I'm don't want to have this conversation with you, calm down, girl!". Natalie said and walked away. Sophie fr

The next day, Viper brought clothes for Rosalie and took her to the training hall after she had her breakfast. Adam was punching a punch bag in the corner. He looked at the door as Viper and Rosalie entered. "Hey, Lady Rhea". He smiled and took off his bandana. Rosalie looked around. There was a boxing ring in the farthest corner, a glass door lead to a small gym and the hall was almost empty with some bull's-eye hanging on the left wall. Adam walked at her. "Do you like it?". "It's.. good". She gave a nod. "I set it up myself". He told proudly. "I see.. you can do other stuff too! In addition to telling lies". Rosalie smirked. Adam looked at her shamefully. "I'm sorry". "Let's start.. shall we?". She asked. "Yeah.. Viper.. you can leave now, thank you very much". Adam said. Viper gave a nod and left. "So, let's start". He took a deep breath. "Alright". Rosalie nodded. "First, you need to warm up". Adam took her to the gym. Rosalie spent some time in the gym, warming up
