Rose Alexander
I stared at the impossible and stubborn man in front of me with anger in my eyes.
He was the most arrogant man I had ever come across in my whole entire life, but then again, ain’t all handsome guys like that, so sure of themselves like they could rule the world or have the world under their feet just because they had a bit of a special face.
I was definitely not going to lie about the fact that he was handsome; that man looked like a freaking walking Greek god, a work of sculpture that needed to be preserved in a museum.
I walked towards the table and took my seat, staring angrily at him to show my displeasure in this situation.
“Care for some tea?“ he asked, smiling politely at me, not caring about the glares I threw his way.
I wanted nothing more than to leave here quickly. I had matters to tend to and revenge to serve, and my enemies were roaming about freely on the street enjoying themselves, and these thoughts alone made me bitter, but I refused to let the arrogant man in front of me win in this situation.
Coming out of my thoughts, I could see him from the corner of my eyes observing me, as if he was trying to figure out what was going on in my mind at the moment.
Turning my gaze to the large glass window on the other side of the room, I looked through it, enjoying the view.
Clearing his throat to get my attention, I looked up lightly towards him from the corner of my eye, wondering what he might want this time, only to see him raising a teacup towards me.
“I don’t want tea,“ I replied briefly before turning my gaze back to the window and trying to ignore him once more.
“Ahhh, I see you are not a tea drinker; I will ask them to get you some coffee then,“ he said, looking towards the phone he had taken earlier.
I groaned and snapped my head toward him. "You are so annoying; you know that, right?“ I said, emphasizing the word annoying, as I imagined smoke coming out of my ears right now if I were in a movie.
Chuckling, he cleared his throat again, but this time I decided to ignore him, and his childishness kept my gaze out the window.
“Are you ignoring me, Cara?" he asked.
Turning my head towards him in a very fast manner, I looked at him, seeing red due to anger.
“Don’t ever call me that,“ I said, glaring at him to show how serious I was.
“I can take any joke from you, but not that.“
“Why?“ he asked, looking at me curiously. I turned my head back to gaze outside, not giving him an answer to his questions.
A knock on the door disturbed my view, and I glanced discreetly at the door to see who it might be.
“Accedere,“ he said, looking at the door.
A maid entered the room with a paper in her hands and walked towards him. She silently placed the paper on the coffee table, slightly bowing before making her way out of the room.
“Canadian heiress gone missing,“ he said, making me turn around and look at him surprised; he had a paper in his hands, and turning it, he showed me what was written on the paper.
My picture was on the front of the paper, with the headline talking about my disappearance.
Looking at it, I couldn’t help but scoff. Those two really wanted me gone; it looks like they went through with their plan.
They couldn’t even wait a month before declaring me missing. Going a little forward towards him, I snatched the papers out of his hands and read them.
Shaking my head when I was done, I placed the paper on the coffee table; they couldn’t even find a better picture of me they could use. I snorted; this definitely had Selena’s name written all over it, I couldn’t help but think.
“So what are you going to do?" "What’s going to be your plan?“ he asked. I stared at him, wondering what was going on in that head of his.
“Cause you are definitely missing from the world; right now nobody knows where you are except me and a few of my workers, which, of course, with a little money, they will definitely keep their mouths shut." He continued looking at me, raising his eyebrows cockily.
Raising my eyebrows at him, I couldn’t help but ask, "What do you mean?“ He was starting to break his annometer (annoying meter), and I was wishing I could just snap his head.
“Well, you see, I could keep you here all day without anyone knowing or you could, you know, just..." he said before pushing my meal forward towards me and shrugging his shoulders.
I stared at him for a while, hoping he had changed his mind, but the fool just kept shrugging his shoulders and staring at me nonchalantly.
Giving up, I gave a resigning sign before picking up my fork and digging into my meal, forcing myself to do so while glaring at him. In the meantime, I thought, he could control me just for now.
turning on the TV and increasing the volume so I could hear what was on the news.
“A very heartbreaking news reached our studio today about the disappearance of Ms. Rose Alexander; her family had declared her missing this morning to the police after about a week of not knowing about her whereabouts.”
The whereabouts of Canadian businesswoman and heiress of the Alexander Co. Enterprise have been the hottest news today.
Her fiance, Mr. Ryan Angelo, and her best friend, Ms. Selena Hunter, confirm that they last saw her in her office, where they both visited her after she complained about how much workload and pressure were put on her.
“As a very close friend of hers, I am seriously disappointed in myself, as I just learned about her depression a day before her disappearance and am very worried." "I have been so busy in the modeling world that I neglected her, and right now all I can say is that I hope she is doing all right wherever she is.”
These were the words of her best friend, Ms. Selena.
Snorting I looked at the TV, not believing how perfect their lies were.
