Stay With Me

Chapter Three: A safe world

Rose was angry about what happened.  She couldn't believe Alex was able to fire an innocent man.

Rose decided to run away from the palace. 
A servant helped her escape, and she went into the forest.

Rose began to escape into the dark night, avoiding lights and loud noises in order not to attract the attention of the palace guards.
She took cautious steps through the forest, and she felt fear creeping into her body, but she decided to continue and complete her daring attempt.

After hours of walking, Rose felt fatigue ravaging her body, so she breathed calmly and continued walking, and suddenly she heard a screeching sound heading towards her, and she began to tremble from fear.

These were Alex's steps, who immediately grabbed her mercilessly and a provocative smile appeared on his face as he looked at her with arrogant sarcasm.

Rose thought he might punish her or blame her for trying to escape, but instead he said in a sarcastic voice “Do you know that you will not succeed in escaping from my grasp?
“You are only wasting your time, my dear Rose.”

  Rose felt unprecedented anger.
Not only was Alex a powerful lord who held power, he was mocking her
He mocks her unbearably.

Rose decides to challenge this belittlement and prove to him that she is more than just a weak woman.

Rose again tried to escape, but Alex was expecting it. 
He used his strength and subjugated her, making her feel completely desperate at the possibility of escaping.

She froze and fell to the ground crying
Alex did not care about Rose crying, on the contrary, he smiled slightly
Alex carrying Rose and returning her to her room is a scene that carries within it many strong and emotional feelings.

This scene reflects the terror and resentment that Rose experiences and the indifference that grips Alex.

In a dark room, Alex sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Rose, who was sleeping on her back.
 
She was wearing a light dress, and her blonde hair was spread out on the pillow.
Alex kept looking at her with an intense gaze, as if trying to read her thoughts.

Alex sat there for a long time, not moving.  Then, finally, he reached out and touched her hair.

It was soft and silky.

Alex felt like touching her more, but didn't dare.

After a while, Alex whispered in her ear “You will never be able to escape from me.”

Rose slowly opened her eyes and looked at him.  She was surprised to see him there.

"what are you doing here?" I asked.

Alex remained silent and did not answer her question

Rose woke up in the morning, still scared and confused.

She didn't know exactly what happened last night, but she knew she was in danger.

Rose got out of bed and went to the window.
She looked outside and saw Alex standing in the garden.

He looked at her, smiling suspiciously.

She was afraid of Alex.
She knew he would do anything to keep her

When Alex's family returned from their long journey, they were gracious and kind.
Their reception was arranged with the utmost luxury and sophistication.

In front of the main entrance to the palace, there is a huge staircase covered with a luxurious red carpet, and there is a group of musicians performing joyful melodies on their musical instruments.
