Her first night of being taken away was cold and painful for her. She tried to go to sleep but she kept hearing little Arthur's voice crying for bus mother.
Rose tried begging the men who stood outside the door of her room to let her go, but none answered her. The whole room felt foreign to her that it brought goosebumps on her body, as she wondered if Arthur was looking for her.
Tears rolled down her face as she thought about her family.
"Arthur I hope you find me soon " she cried.
Laying on the bed her eyes scanned the room for something to help her flee from her kidnappers but nothing seemed useful.
Soon sleep took her over as she dreamed about being in Arthur's arms while little Arthur was beside them.
The next morning she was picked from her room and taken downstairs. Victoria was seated elegantly dressed in a red women's suit with her blond hair resting on her shoulders.
"Morning my dear rival, how was your first night in our mansion?" Victoria asked Rose.
Rose didn't answer but stared at her.
"I know what your thinking, your wondering why am holding you captive when am not going to even ask for money from Arthur. While all I want is for you to disappear"
Rose let out a weak laugh that felt like a mock to Victoria's statement. She said "Victoria I think you not using your head right now. If you really wanted me gone, a simply assassination would have been better than holding me here with you "
"I know, but where is the fun in that. The last time I saw you was with Arthur. You looked saw high up that you even dared to make fun of me. But don't worry am soon letting you go "
Archie walked in seeing Rose on the floor in front of Victoria who was holding a smile on her face.
He came near Rose who seemed to be in a weak condition and carried her to one of the seats in the room. Rose didn't struggle when he carried her since her body felt weak.
"Why didn't you offer our guest a seat, Victoria? " Archie asked.
"Well, she seemed to love the floor since that's where she belongs " Victoria smiled.
Rose watched them as they talked, acting like she wasn't even there.
She wasn't going to allow them to make fun of her easily without her fighting back.
Breakfast was delivered but none of them offered her anything. And soon after she was taken back to her room.
She sat on the bed feeling her body grow weaker. Moving to the window she tried opening it and soon it opened. But she could not jump out due to the length between the window and the ground outside.
Not wanting to stay another minute in the hands of Victoria and Archie she slowly put her first leg out the window.
Rose felt her heartbeat increase ten times faster as she held on to the rim of the window. Her body was out as she moved her feet down the edges of the house.
Even with the dizziness and weak body Rose soon was landing on the ground outside.
Not looking back Rose ran as fast as she could for her life.
But she soon felt footsteps move chase behind her.
She turned to look and realize it was Victoria and her men. Her brain told her to run even faster which she did.
Her surroundings we're unknown to her that she didn't know where to head, she just ran in any direction that looked like it would lead her far away from.
Seeing a deserted house she hurriedly enter led it and looked for a safe spot to hide.
"Rose my love, where are you hiding?" Rose heard Archie's voice as he called her.
She hid in between the kitchen door and the wall making it hard for someone who was coming in to see her.
Rose heard the door of the house open as the sound of footsteps entered unto the house.
"I know you here, so please stop hiding and come out " Archie shouted.
Rose felt her adrenaline rise even more rushing into her body, that she forgot about being sick and got ready to escape again.
"I didn't know you were such a nasty bitch. You are even able to escape from such a tall place. But don't worry this time am going to teach you a lesson so that you won't do it again " Archie's footsteps moved closer to the kitchen.
They both had been surprised to see Rose outside running from the mansion like a maniac.
Victoria had screamed for her men to go and chase after her.
Archie only wanted to make Arthur suffer and have some fun while Victoria wanted her completely gone.
He knew she would head this way since it was the only way out of the area and the abandoned house was the only one there.
"You know me, Arthur, Vivian, and Victoria used to come here every holiday and have fun here. Victoria's parents always brought during our holidays to rest and have fun and this house used to be our hang out spot "
Rose heard his story as he seemed to come closer to her hiding spot.
"Victoria and Arthur always came here without us and had fun together in secret. I and Vivian used to sneak on them while they kissed and teased at them. They were such a perfect couple " Archie entered the kitchen.
His back was facing Rose who was behind the door, her whole body was shaking with fear and fatigue. With her hands on the mouth, she slowly moved towards the door as Archie strode into the kitchen.
Them moment he passed by her she turned and ran out the door. But to her amazement, he was right behind her. He grabbed her by the waist and slammed her on the floor.
"You little bitch, did you really think you could run from me?" Archie laughed.
When her body met with the cold dirty old floor, Rose felt a sharp pain rush through her back that she screamed in pain.
Archie held her by the hair and slapped her face with an angry force.
"That's for making us run this far just to catch you " He said.
Rose felt her face sting with pain after the slap.
She tried getting up but he pushed her right back onto the floor.
"Now am going to teach you a lesson " Archie sneered.
