A Rose In The Wild

31- What do you know (Rose's POV)

I peeked from the corner of my eyes as Ash and Ryder entered the cafe. As always Ash looked serious and Ryder well Ryder according to me, suffered from multiple personality disorders.

Sometimes he was hella serious and sometimes he was more joking and funny than Andrew and that was saying something.

Our table was overflowed.

We had Diya, Violet and me, the originals as I like to imagine,
then we had Sofia and Mason join us on this table
Then we were joined by Ash and Andrew.
After that, it had been Ryder.
Now my brother and even Aarav had made themselves comfortable here with us.

I mentally snickered thinking about this weird group.

"Mind if I sit here?" Ash's stern voice snapped me out of my trance.

Both mine and Nate's head whipped in his direction.

"Uh find some other place dude. I was sitting here first." Nate replied and started turning back.

Ash grabbed a handful of Nate's jacket in his fist.

I inhaled a breath.

"Remove your hand right now," Nate said slowly standing up.

I quickly got up and grabbed his sleeve.

"Nate no!" I said to him sternly.

I don't know why but something flashed in Ash's eyes.

His eyes accusingly traveled to mine and then towards Nate.

Oh...shit he thinks...Oh

As I realized my eyes widened.

"Oh no-no-no. No no Ash listen to me," I said in a hurry.

"He is my..." I was not able to finish the sentence as Nate had pulled me towards him in an abrupt motion and his eyes conveyed a message to me.

'Careful'

My identity had always been a secret and no one knew I was The Don's daughter here except for Mason and Diya.

Nate's hand was wrapped around my waist and everyone was watching the drama unfold.

Both Ash and Nate were glaring daggers at each other.

"Rose, be careful," Ash said to me with such proximity that I knew he was referring to Nate as the gangster's son.

'he doesn't know you are his sister.' Dunkers said in a huff folding his hands over his chest.

I ignored him.

I think Nate knew what Ash was referring to as well cause his eyes were as wide as me.

"Oh wait... I know you." Nate said so suddenly that I flinched on the inside.

"Do you Nate," Ash said venom flowing from his tone.

What the

"Nate, how do you know Ash?" I asked my brother, eyes wide.

Ash just raised an eyebrow.

Nate pursued his lips in a tight line.

"Ash Wright I suggest you leave." Nate's voice was scary calm and low volumed. I was sure that only people who could hear were present on this table.

"I can say the same," Ash said taking a step towards him.

They were both equal in height and for the first time I noticed that both of them had the same body structure as well. As if hours of training was put into it, but not bulky, they were both lean and tall.
