Chapter 99
Unknown
Rosa fumed in anger as she paced about her room, discarding things that came up in her way.
Her feet stormed the floor and her hands rested on her hips. She halted briefly, cursing an invisible person before resuming pacing the room.
Her head was on fire.
She couldn’t sleep all night, images of Ivy kept haunting her, filling her with raw fear.
Since Ivy had died, she rarely dreamt about her, but it wasn’t enough to drive her amok.
Tonight was different. The hurt and betrayal on Ivy’s face were replaced with a cruel smirk and vengeful expression.
Her sad and droopy eyes were brightened in victory and even her words were creepy.
Rather than accusing her of taking over her position and cutting her life short, he simply smiled dangerously.
“Your end is near.”
Those were the creepy words that slipped from her mouth.
What did Ivy mean by her end was near?
As far as she was concerned, this was just the beginning.
But as much as she tried to push her anxiety, she couldn’t help but feel threatened by Ivy’s words.
It was like a heavy burden on her chest.
When she thought she had enough, Ray’s threats and Silas’ suspicious behaviour drowned her with worry.
“Damnit!”
Her breath was harsh as her heart pounded vigorously.
Everything drove her crazy.
Her body began to heat up under pressure as she drowned in thoughts.
A soft knock sounded on the door, snapping Rosa out of her thoughts.
Rosa was about to walk to the door, but she hesitated.
Her brows scrunched up in curiosity and her ears strained.
“Goddess help me if it turns out to be that bastard,” she cursed, sucking in air as she left for the door.
She was frightened about Ray taking advantage of her the second time.
The touch of their skin brushing each other and his phallus plunging into her made her almost puke.
She wished she could put an end to him permanently.
“It’s me, Mistress,” a voice sounded and another knock was heard again.
Relief washed upon Rosa as she turned the knob and opened the door to reveal Maria.
Maria was Rosa’s handmaid, but despite working for her and carrying out her evil deeds for years, she never trusted her.
“What is it?” she asked in a harsh tone, moving away from her.
“I hope you brought good news or you’ll be dead for ruining my morning,” Rosa hissed, fuming in anger.
“Good morning, Mistress,” Maria bowed briefly before a smile spread across her face.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Maria stretched her hand towards Rosa and handed an envelope to her.
“What is this about?” Rosa asked as her eyes scanned the envelope before locking gaze with Maria who hurriedly looked away in fear.
Rosa was hesitant to take it as her mind was filled with uncertainty. “Who is it from and what is in it?”
“I don’t know what it says, but I received it from a guard. He said the message was from your Uncle.”
Rosa’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly grabbed the envelope and wasted no time in tearing it off before bringing out a piece of paper.
“Leave!” she ordered, watching Maria walk out of her room before she unfolded the paper.
Straightening the paper, angry scribbled words stared back at her.
Report now!
The words were not much but it was enough to send chills down her spine and a series of questions floating on her mind.
It was like she was hearing Sila’s voice in her head as she read the words again.
She didn’t need someone to tell her Silas was mad about something.
But what could it be?
Without wasting time, she dashed into the bathroom, dashed out, and got dressed in an orange corset gown before rushing out of her room.

The hostile atmosphere of the room was the first to hit Rosa’s face the moment she opened the door.
The air was tense and uninviting.
She strode to the figure standing in front of the window with a glass of whiskey in his hand. But she didn’t get too close, uncertain of his next reaction.
The last thing she wanted was pieces of glass piercing through her face.
It was as if her legs developed minds of their own as they grew wobble.
“What are you standing there for? An invitation?” Sila’s angry voice boomed, jerking Rosa.
Rosa reluctantly walked towards him, praying inwardly for his anger to subside.
“What is it I am hearing about Damon’s brothers coming back?”
“What?” Rosa’s brows shot up in shock as she stared at him with widened eyes.
“You are in the castle, yet you can’t see, you can’t hear, you are not aware of your environment. You are technically useless!” he lashed at her, smashing the glass cup against the wall. Rosa was quick to dodge the pieces of broken glass and shield her face.
“Devin and Dax are back!”
“No, they are dead!” Rosa fired.
“You are so dumb.” Silas hit his palm on his forehead as he got frustrated. “You didn’t hear news about some strange visitors?”
“I did, but I don’t think it would be Devin and Dax. They died a long time ago and they were captured. If I remembered clearly that you instructed their captors to kill them and burn their bodies the day they were captured. How could they resurrect if they’ve been burnt and buried?” Rosa asked in disbelief.
She didn’t want to believe Silas. Clearly, it was a joke. Maybe some sick prank.
“I did instruct them. But when I heard the news of their return, I sent my words to the pack and they told me that they escaped.”
“So why did they keep quiet for years?”
“Because they were scared of what I would do to them. Fucking bastards!” Silas groaned in anger as his fist hit the wall repeatedly.
“This is not good. The brothers are stronger together. Their return will ruin everything we’ve worked for.
“Worse of all, Aurora is back. Now, there is a serious competition.”
It was like an arrow ran past Rosa’s heart as she heard Aurora’s name.
“Aurora is not dead?” she said in disbelief.
“None of them are.”
“That sneaky bastard.” Rosa hissed as pain clenched her heart.
“Damon would send her out of the castle, but she might reveal the truth and we will be exposed. We can’t be exposed!” Silas said, emphasizing the last sentence. “We’ve come too far to get our plans ruined.”
“What do we do, Uncle?” Rosa asked desperately.
She wanted to crumble. The new twist of events sent her confused and blank.
“Have Damon wrapped around your fingers and make sure Aurora gets eliminated. This time, see to it that you are in charge of her elimination. Then I’ll strike.” Silas blurted, looking at the field outside his window
“What about Dax and Devin?”
“I heard that they are in the hospital. They are in a coma, but it won’t be for long. Their memories will soon be restored, you have to act fast before it happens.”
“I’ll do anything.”
Rosa’s heart was sealed as she prepared for the worst.
“I want them killed.”
