A Stranger's Offer

Chapter 7

It's been a month since Mary got married and Rose still hadn't heard from her. It was devastating for Rose because Mary was her only child whom she loved dearly and now Andrew had separated them because he wanted her to be married to his invisible son.

So many horrible thoughts ran through Rose's mind as she thought about what her daughter could be going through. Was she dead? was she being tortured? what if she was locked up with no one to talk to? her poor baby was all alone in an unknown location and she as a mother couldn't do anything about it.

She was the reason her daughter was in this mess. If she hadn't accepted Andrew's offer then her daughter won't have been married to a ghost.
Her daughter's absence affected her so badly that she stopped eating, she just couldn't eat knowing that her daughter was out there going through hell because would it not make her a bad mother? Staying comfortably at home eating while her baby was suffering out there maybe even dead because why else was Andrew stopping her from seeing her daughter if he's hadn't killed her and even sacrificed her?

This thought made everything a million times worse. She immediately got dressed and went straight to Andrew's house she was not going anywhere without saying her daughter. She angrily banged at the door and waited for it to be opened

"Ma'am why did you knock the door in such manner? Do you realize that you just disturbed the peace of this house?" The guard asked on opening the door

"I wish to see Andrew your master" She angry responded

"He can't see you now because he's busy" The guard responded

"Then I shall wait for him"

"He won't be done anytime....."

"What's going on down there?" Andrew asked from upstairs cutting the garden off

"Master Mrs Rose is here to see you" The guard who quickly closed the door and run up to meet Andrew replied

"Let her in" Andrew said with an authoritative voice

"Okay Masters" The guard replied and ran downstairs to bring Rose in

"Rose to what do I owe this visit?" Andrew asked after gesturing at her to sit

"You know why I'm here Andrew I really need to see my daughter please let me see her I beg of you." She replied kneeling before him with tears in her eyes

"You don't have to cry fair Rose I assure you that your daughter is fine"
Andrew replied trying to lift her up but she refused to stand up

"Please Andrew I have heard from you that she is fine but I need to see her myself. I want to see my baby, I want to hold her and hear her voice please let me see her" Rose begged now crying which made Andrew uncomfortable because he didn't like saying a woman crying especially because of him

"Rose please do away with the tears" He said with an irritated look on his face

"I will only stop when I see my daughter please Andrew let me see my child." She begged crying even more

"You will see her very soon but for now I want her to get used to the house and her husband" Andrew replied hoping Rose would see things from his point of view

"I'm sure by now she's used to the house and her husband. If you fear that we might try to run away or that she might try to run away then you can send some of your men to come with me to ensure that nothing stupid happens. Andrew I really need to see my daughter" Rose suggested open that Andrew would agree

"I have heard your plea but I need time to think about it." Andrew said feeling pity for Rose . Hearing this Rose thanked him in hopes that she would see her daughter soon.
