Folding herself a little, she sighed and closed her eyes. She had supported herself for over a year with the fact that the angel that came gave her peaceful night rest will come for her just like he did before – sneak in and sneak out.

She closed her eyes to her night of nightmares. Her nightmares seemed to have gotten worse like a video game that gets updated frequently or the periodic change and improvement in fashion.

The only good thing was that she got used to it with every new trial that came and it slowly but subconsciously became her definition of sleep. A dreamless night or a night without nightmares became her fairytale.

It took a short while for her to fall asleep after resigning to her fate like always..

A black figure walked into the Rose's room through the balcony with the house's security system under his direction. He adjusted his eyes to the darkness of the room easily and could clearly see Rose asleep but there was someone else on the bed making him pause.

He did not like the sight. He really wanted to see Rose again after seeing her in the café. He wished he had not gone to the café that day and he would have escaped the feeling of the thought of Rose clouding his mind that he could not sleep.

He walked quietly to the bed and took a good look at the face of the person accompanying her. It was her foster sister, Anna one of the people he dislikes. He cooled his raging mind when he remembered that the girl was not a threat to Anna at least not yet. At least not until she discovers her true identity.

He moved his gaze back to Rose and smiled softly reaching to pat her head gently. She stirred slight but remained asleep. He bent and placed a kiss on her forehead before moving back sharply when Rose reached for his hand.

He remembered how she hugged his arms those two nights and smiled. He was almost done with what he had to do. He was less than a year away from his prize. She wore a displeased expression making him feel guilty but when she began stirring to wake up, he moved really fast and escaped the room through the balcony.

Rose woke up and placed her hand on her forehead, the warmth and softness of the kiss still remained. She got up and the lights turned on. Her eyes moved to the balcony and she noticed it was not locked although it was closed.

Although she wanted to stay where that scent was before it gets diffused off, she ran to the balcony and opened it. Cold breeze flooded towards her making her shiver a little as the exposed skin of her arms developed goosebumps.

She sneezed and really wanted to return into the warm comfort of her room but she fought that urge off and checked around for the intruder. She felt his presence the moment he touched her head to pat it.

"Rose," Anna called out sleepy as she got down from the bed and joined her sister on the balcony. She looked at the way her sister was dressed in a simple grey silk pyjamas trousers and a sleeveless silk singlet and frowned. "What are you doing out here?" Anna asked checking around if anything was wrong.

"I wanted to look at the night sky," Rose replied looking up at the sky darkened by cloud. Lightening brightened up a few parts occasionally.

"It might rain soon. Let's go inside," Anna said hugging her sister's arm as she pulled her in the room.

"Oh sure," Rose agreed and went into her warm room although hesitating a little but what good was it going to do her? She might get cold and still won't get to see her visitor.

As she went under the warmth of her duvet, she sighed, who ever the visitor was he was very fast which prevented her from seeing him.

"Rose, sleep," Anna told her as she slowly drifted off despite how hard she tried to stay awake with her sister.

"Oh ok," Rose answered but her sister who was already asleep did not hear her response. As she fell asleep again, she did not forget to imprint it on her mind to avoid having her sister sleep in her room next time so that her visitor will give her a good night sleep.

"Boss," Charlie called but stopping midway from the door when he noticed Liam smoking at the window of his study.

Liam did not answer as he sucked in from the cigarette and blew out a ring of smoke. He continued that movement slowly ignoring Charlie's presence as he tried his best not to make his boss any angrier but also tell his boss the information he had to tell him.

"I . . ." he began but swallowed back his words as he shivered from the gradually dropping temperature of the study.

Edward shook his head at his friend before pulling his friend out of the study. "Boss should be left alone for fifteen minutes. You can tell him later," Edward advices his friend. "Is it an emergency?"

"No but . . .," Charlie began scratching his head.

"Then leave," Edward said before walking away.

Charlie scoffed as he watched his friend's departing back view. "He really does not know how to respect his elders," Charlie complained with a smirk as he left the door of his boss' study. He sounded like an old man although he was only older than Edward with two months.

He knew his boss was not in a good mood when he saw the stick of cigarette his boss held but his boss had not been in a good mood since they left the café and he had been debating talking to his boss for over twelve hours that he gave up hesitating and decided to talk to his boss only to discover Liam's mood had gotten worse.

He smiled slightly when he remembered his boss had less than a year to bring home the new madam or so he thought. He chuckled in excitement tap dancing as he went down stairs.
