Rose, a broke college student, it was her senior year of college and she's studying to be a teacher. Rose is struggling to make ends have three jobs: one working in a coffee shop, one tutoring students, and another working in a retail store. She's pulling late nights and early mornings, and she's having to juggle her classes and all the work she has to do for her various jobs. It's been tough, but Rose is determined to make it through this year so she can graduate and start her own career as a teacher. She's already applied for student loans and financial aid, but the money is still tight. She eats a lot of cheap meals like ramen noodles and peanut butter sandwiches, and Rose is always looking for ways to save money.
Despite all the stress, she is excited about the future. Rose loves working with kids and she can't wait to start teaching full-time. She's done her best to build her skills through internships and extra courses, and she know she'll be a great teacher. Rose is just hoping that she'll be able to make it through the year without going completely broke.
Rose sat at her table in the internet café, in the inners of Everell, she was deep in the throes of revision for her upcoming exams. She was feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, but she knew that she had to push through to get this done. As she read and re-read the material, she felt a prodding on her shoulder and turned around.
"What are you doing here?" , Rose asked, completely surprised to see such a famous face like Violet in front of her. Her mind raced as she tried to figure out what she should say, her voice shaking slightly as she spoke. She couldn't believe that she was actually talking to the famous actress Violet, and she felt a mix of excitement and nerves at the same time.
''My name's Violet, Violet Rosewood, we need to talk, *Rose Riverstone.*'' , Violet spoke harshly, making sure she was heard clearly and in a intimidating enough way to cause Rose to freeze up, staring in shock while trying to process the situation, still dumbfounded by meeting someone as famous as Violet Rosewood.
''U-Uhm.. right.. what is it?..'' , Rose mumbled quietly, embarrassed by the sudden attention, she could feel her cheeks going a shade of rosy pink, her lips quivering and her eyes glancing around the room nervously.. she didn't even realise that Violet was now much closer to her, only inches apart from her crimson stained lips.
''I have a good proposal for you Riverstone.'' , Violet still spoke harshly, this time with a hint of interest and greed. Violet caressed Rose's wrist, picking it up gently and inspecting it before placing kisses on her wrist gently, caressing it with her slim pale fingers still. ''I.. I want you to rely on me. No matter the cost.. Riverstone.'' , Violet whispered in Rose's ear, speaking quietly but clear and harshly, pulling Rose closer and closing her laptop, her maroon lips curling into a devious grin, sending shivers down Rose's whole body.
Rose took a drink out of her cup, her head going fuzzy, she was lead around the city, someone carrying her bag while she got dragged. She was panting heavily, sitting up in a comfy big bed, surrounded by modern colours on almost everything, her bag distinctively poking out of a draw along with her files and laptop.
''Oh.. god.. where am I?.. what day is it..'' , Rose looked around frantically, noticing the house she was in was on a hill, she already knew this wasn't her house, but who's? A person walked in, bowing down and putting a tray of food on Rose's lap gently ''E-Excuse me.. where am I?..'' , Rose could feel nausea washing over her constantly, her stomach was like a bunch of hair being tied a bit too tight into a knot.
The tension in the air was palpable as the person finally opened their mouth to speak. Every muscle in Rose's body tensed up , ''Your in Miss Rosewood's mansion madam. Please stay calm, Miss will be along to tend to your questions soon.'' , The person quickly walked off, keeping a stern face and posture, as if they were a robot controlled by a mastermind. It felt like hours, if not days till the door opened again, revealing Violet in a black gown with a fluffy jacket over her, she was dressed formally in a long black gown, defining her curvy body along with a fluffy fur jacket and winter boots, normally for harsher weathers. Unlike the just about snowing weathers of Everell.
''How was your trip, mi amor? Is your head okay now?'' , Victoria spoke with a calm and gentle voice, her voice like the melody of a angel soothing you to sleep. Rose nodded, still staring around the room nervously, tapping and unable to speak from sheer shock and fear. ''Please, calm down and trust me mi amor.. I just want you to be mine..'' , Victoria spoke a bit more fearful this time, walking over to Rose and grabbing her chin gently. ''Only mine mi amor..'', Mine..?
''No, what do you mean?.. I need to get home... Victoria..'' , Rose could feel herself growing weaker, her eyes struggling to stay open and her sentences slurring. As she struggled to keep her eyes open and keep her brain functioning, she felt a sudden sensation of nausea wash over her. Her stomach felt like it was twisting into knots and she could feel a cold sweat beginning to form on her forehead. The nausea quickly escalated into a full-blown stomach-ache, causing her to wince in discomfort. Victoria slowly placed her down, putting the blanket over her gently. ''Mi amor.. rest well..'' , Victoria sighed and let out a long and dramatic exhale. Her head was buried in her hands as she rocked back and forth slightly and slowly.
