ROSE

Feeling everyone's eyes burning and piercing through my skin, one of their men escorted me to the backroom.

What did they want with me?

My heart continued racing while approaching the bedroom door that's ajar.

"Walk in, touch nothing. Go on the balcony." The man said, closing the door.

I sauntered to the open sliding doors, making sure I touched nothing.

There were half-empty glasses and abandoned liquors on the bedside tables surrounding an enormous bed that was made.

I trudged to the balcony, consuming the view.

"We need to talk." A voice rang through my ears.

The voice made me jump, but it matched the face I saw last night.

I admired his perfection with my sober mind, forgetting to answer.

Reality struck when he threw me against the wall, putting an icy blade on my throat.

"Before I kill you, what's your name, baby?"

Tears forced their way out as I stared into his stone chocolate eyes.

His hot breath danced on my skin as he waited for my answer.

"R-Rose."
