☪Dark and Mysterious Love Trilogy:

"Roses of Possession"

3: The Rescue

As the curtains closed, Zayn looks for Laurent. It was sure confusing for the prince to figure out what he feels. It was a passion of possession. He thought about it again and again after the Jane disappears to enter Lord Damien's quarters.

Zayn wasn't sure if she's living in a blood of royalty. Nevertheless, all the prince knows is that the maiden captured his eyes and captived him from the inside, out. He never felt that way before.

He tried reading her for a matter. But, he failed.  He can't read her mind and he simply can't know her. Zayn's power was always through his eyes. He see everything he wishes to see.

But now, he turned out powerless over Jane. He can't see her. She made him blind.

Zayn continued to scan the whole area for his assistant's figure. Sometimes, Laurent causes him so much headache. He shows up the least Zayn needs him and when Zayn does, he's gone.

"Looking for someone?" A familiar voice stopped Zayn's fast paces. It was cold and satisfied. Lord Damien stands by the door, staring at a very eager prince before him.

"Yes." Zayn simply answers, followed by a glint in Damien's eyes. "Who is she?"

Lord Damien instantly recognized him. As if reading each other's mind, Lord Damien unlocks his door, gesturing the young prince to enter. Lord Damien rushed to his seat while as Zayn remained standing; impatiently.

"Who is she?"

"Well, well my dear prince..." Damien laughs. "Why are you so interested with a servant?"

A servant. Zayn thought. The girl is no one but Damien's servant. So she wasn't a princess after all. But, does that even matter? Zayn ignored his question, "She is your servant? Why would a servant be dressed in a fine ball gown attending a gathering like this?"

"Well, she's not yet mine." Lord Damien chuckles evily, the image of Gabriel's face entering his mind. "But she will be."

"Free her." Zayn also surprised of his words, bit back a frown. "How did she became your servant? A damsel so young?"

Lord Damien rubs his chin with his thumb. He knew exactly why the prince was so ineterested with Jane. He knew what's going around Zayn's mind. And for a reason, he's sure that the moment the prince laid his eyes on the lady, it hadn't left. "You see, Gabriel Blanchard -the man who used to be your father's assistant betrayed him before he died. Now, I'm owning his beloved daughter in trade of his sin."

Zayn felt a pang of insult enter him. He must be angered by reminscing the memory of his father being betrayed; a story everyone knows. But having the painted picture of his lady's smile showing back on replay in his head, he just can't judge Gabriel.

"Why does she have to pay? And who are you to make him pay?" Zayn asks. "Who is she?"

"Jane is nothing but a... nothing." Damien replies mockingly. "Everyone knows how fond I am for owning servants of my own Zayn. Sadly, Jane is one of them."

"Free her Lord Damien. It's an order."

Damien was surprised. Nevertheless, he found it humorous for a prince to be so interested. Jane Blanchard is nothing special. Except for her long brown hair that shines with every sway she does with it and her black eyes that shimmers through the night. To admit it, Damien believes that Jane is a Goddess of Beauty.

"Why would I?" Damien stands from his seat. "Her father sinned and she's the way to pay it."

"Her father sinned Damien but she has nothing to do with the punishment." Zayn paused, clearing up his mind. He can't watch her suffer. There's nothing he could do. Except for... "Give her to me."
