“Rose!” exclaimed my brother as his worried eyes met mine. But all I could do was stand caged in Adam’s Arms like a scared animal looking for escape. I couldn’t bear it. His arms were too strong and my resistance too weak. Rose, you are anything but weak. I chanted in head and with one final ounce of strength left in me, I removed his hand from around my waist and made to move away from him.

It happened too fast. One minute I was standing and the next minute I was falling. My hair untangled from its loose bun as the ground rushed to meet my face. And the inevitable happened. I tripped. The sudden silence that filled the room was almost sickening. But that wasn’t the worst.

Soon after, laughter started echoing around the ballroom. And I realized that I was going to be the hot topic for them tonight; their entertainment. Song family’s pathetic bargaining chip. Their orphan pet!

“Are you okay?” Asked Ji Hoo as he helped me to my feet. I tried to answer but I couldn’t get the words out. “Rose! I’m asking if you are okay?” This time Ji Hoo shook my shoulders so I would snap out of it. It worked.

“Yeah… I’m good.” I replied with the worst ‘thank-you’ smile ever as it must have looked more like a grimace than a smile.

“Let go of her.” Adam snapped at Ji Hoo before locking his arm around my waist once again.

“No! You let go of me.” I said dinging my forefinger in his chest before shrugging his arms off.  

I couldn’t stand the judgmental eyes of the people surrounding me. I was beginning to loose my grip on reasonable thoughts as I stormed out of the Hall.

If one were to think that I have finally dropped off the deep end, it will be absolutely correct. I could see people standing stunned around Adam, waiting for his reaction through the window. He gave no indication of anger or frustration what so ever. But I knew better. I couldn’t believe myself. I mean would anyone believe me if I were to tell them that I just snapped at the most dangerous man in the whole of Russia. In a room full of people who would most definitely tremble under his gaze in different circumstances.

“Song KimRose!” bellowed my grandfather. By now I was standing next to the gigantic pool of the Song Manor. I turned to face him with tears in my eyes. And just for the shortest second I got to see worry on his freckled face before he blinked it off his face. “You have finally don it… You have finally ruined the family who raised you as their own-“

“Own? Are you kidding me?” I rounded on him. The word own stung like a cold knife coming from him. “From the moment I was brought here, you have done nothing but remind me how I should be grateful for being treated like trash! Do you even know anything about me? I bet even the thought of me disgusts you. I bet it never occurred to you that maybe, just maybe a seven year old girl could die alone on the streets of a foreign country… Tell me! Did it?”

“I have no time to answer your nonsense questions… now quit acting like a child and go and apologized to Mr Adam for being insufferable!” spoke the old with not a trace of sympathy in his words.

I glared at him one last time before saying what I should have never said. “Well Mr Adam can go fuck himself for all I care!” I shouted in his face before dropping to my knees to have a crying fest.

The ground was wet under my palms while the rest of my body remained covered by the God forsaken dress. The old man walked right past me and back into the hall. I had forgotten how long I was next to the pool sobbing, and watching my tears make a mini pool of itself before Adam came to get me.

“The party is over. Walk with me Rose. You own me a chance.” Came his softly spoken words as he extending his hand for me to take.

“You don’t have that chance anymore. You threw it away when you made your announcement.” I replied in a dead voice.

“I will change the date of the marriage then if it means that I would still have my chance.” Said Adam in his soft voice again.

“Why should I believe you?” this time I raised my head and looked him in the eyes, daring them to lie. The side of his lips twitched to reveal a mocking face. “Oh Rose… You can be so stupid sometimes.” I couldn’t believe it. His soft was now longer there but was instead changed to a devil’s.

He roughly grabbed my arm and forced me to stand. By now my heels were killing me and the dress was dripping wet. Adam tugged me along through the Adam Manor until we he reached the balcony. I was pretty sure that where he had been gripping on to my arm would bruise later on. He slammed the door of the balcony shut and menacingly rounded on me.

Once he had me caged between the balcony railing and himself he whispered in my ears. “Isn't this weird that your family throws me a 'Welcome' party while none for you?"

His warm breath kissing the side of my face. Too close! My mind screamed. It urged me to push him off of me, but all I did was stand locked between him and the balcony railing. I was holding on to the railing tight enough to loose any feel of its cold surface. I was trying my best to control the bubbling anger inside me that wanted to burst out like the hot flaming lava inside a volcano about to erupt.

"Rose, you have no idea, how tempting you are right now. From the black dress to your perfume." He whispered again as he came even more closer than before. His hips close enough to grind with mine. One of his hands moved to tuck the stray lock of black hair behind my ear. The same hand trailed its way to my jawbone and down to my neck.

That did it. I pushed him away with all the energy I had and turned to walk away. For one single minute I thought that I succeeded in escaping, until one of his hands locked on to my wrist and pulled me back to him. My back collided with his chest and I found myself locked in his strong arms once again. Damn it! I angrily thought to myself as I did some more fruitless struggle to get away from, but his arms kept me enclosed like iron bars. 

"Let. Me. Go." I said in my most deadly voice but all he did was give a hearty chuckle before turning me around in one swift motion to bring us face to face. Our noses nearly touching. I could feel the warmth radiating from his body and his nicely toned muscles underneath his office shirt. He gave me a devilish smile, one that spoke of lust, before bringing our hips closer together. I won't lie; this action of his did cloud my judgment for the shortest period of time before I found it again. After all, he would be quiet on the opposite end of the list of bad looking guys. 


And the next minute the balcony door lay broken on the floor while Woo Bin’s fist collided with Adam’s face. Woo Bin looked ready to murder Adam.

“If you Fuckin’ lay a finger on her again, I will cut them off! He screamed, anger dripping in form of sweat beads down his face. Adam didn’t even make a move to defend himself. He still wore his mocking expression like the punch didn’t hurt at all.

You will chop my fingers off?” repeated Adam, looking more amused than threatened. I blinked a couple times before I was able to believe his words.

“Woo Bin… I am okay… let go of him…I am okay.” I said as I shivered all over. Only then did Woo Bin let go of Adam’s collar and lifted me up in his arms. I saw a drop of blood cascade down Adam’s Jaw before he wiped it away and walked out without another single word.

Woo Bin kept saying sorry the whole way until we reached my apartment and I kept repeating I am okay. Even though I wasn’t really. I swear to God, I will be damned if I ever wore heels again was my last thought before I closed my eyes for sleep to settle in.
