Caesar's Rose

Chapter 73

THIRD POV

Still backstage, everyone is busy with their script.

Rose felt like running away from everything. But she wants to do this play.

She wants it with all her heart.

"Go on, girlfriend. It is time." Joey said to him excitedly.

"But...."

Joey shook his head, shutting her up.

"No buts. Go on. You can do this." He said, making Rose get on her feet.

Leila and the Adams twins, standing at the other end of the backstage, scoffed at the sight of Rose.

"I still can't believe she was picked to play Juliet." Barbara said, scowling at Rose.

Leila folded her hands.

Sandra scoffed. "Mine is worst. I was picked as Rosalie. Romeo's freaking ex. That's enough. I don't want to be the girl that was dumped."

"You dumped Romeo. Remember?" Leila asked.

Sandra rolled her eyes. "Still, I shouldn't be dumped for that wretched thing." She said, scowling at Rose.

Leila's eyes moved to Jane, who was a bit far from them and standing next to Luther who was memorizing his script.

Leila noticed Jane scowling at Rose as well.

Leila smirked. "At least you are not the one who has to watch your own boyfriend kiss another girl."

The twins looked at Leila and Leila motioned to Jane, making the twins look in Jane's direction.

The twins scoffed.

"Hers is the worst indeed," Sandra said.

"It is terrible. She is lady Capulet. She gets to play the mother of the wench who will kiss her boyfriend in front of her." Barbara said, making Leila's smirk wider.

"I don't pity her," Sandra said.

"Me neither." Barbara supported.

Leila chuckled slightly. "You know what girls?"

The twins looked at her.

"I love this. I am glad Rose is Juliet. I want to watch Jane get hurt when she sees CJ and Rose displaying romance." She said, smiling.

The twins shared a look and smirked.

"I want to enjoy the look on her face. So I say we let Rose enjoy her role. Let's take this as Jane's karma for taking CJ away from me." Leila said, smirking.

"I thought you never accepted that she took CJ away from you." Barbara said, making Leila throw her a scowl.

Barbara shrugged. "Isn't it true, Sandra?"

"Yeah. You never accepted."

"Fine. That came out wrong. This is Jane's karma for trying to steal my boyfriend." Leila said, looking at Jane.

The twins nodded.

"Rose!" The teacher called again.

"Go, silly. You can do this." Joey said to Rose and she nodded slightly.

She stood close to the high curtains and let out a breath before making steps off the stage.

Jane clenched the script in her hands as she watched Rose walk out.

"I tell you, Juliet. You can't be with anyone from the Montague family." Luther read out his lines, adding to Jane's anger.

"That lad is a Montague. Our loathed enemy. You can't....."
