Arthur turned to her feeling the warmth of her hand leave his. Both her hands covered her mouth as tears formed in her eyes.
Victoria recognized them and started laughing.
"So you finally bought her to see how you destroyed me for her sake " Victoria continued laughing. The shackles made noise as she moved her body.
Rose moved back as she watched Victoria shout. The dim lights finally showing her face making Rose shudder.
Her face had a huge scar one that scared Rose to her bones upon seeing it. Her eyes finally depicted fear as she ran out of the room.
"Butterfly ...." Arthur called after her.
Arthur walked out of the room after he gave Victoria one last look.
She was standing out as tears streamed down her face, she was breathing so fast.
"Are you okay?" Arthur asked moving closer to her.
She moved back creating a gap between them, " Am fine " she cried.
Sean walked out and patted Arthur's shoulder.
"Let her be " Sean whispered to Arthur.
Sean walked away and returned with a bottle of water. Handing it to Rose they waited for her to calm down.
"Do you still want to see more?" he asked Rose.
"Hmm..." she answered.
Arthur let her walk ahead of him, Sean leading them again.
"This one almost killed you so..." Sean was telling Rose.
"Nathan is here too, I thought he was arrested?"
"That's what everyone thinks but Arthur put him in here since he nearly killed you" Sean explained.
Sean led her in, this time the room had a strong smell of blood. He was locked in what seemed to be a big cage.
Rose felt her body freeze when she saw Nathan laying on the cold floor. His body was filled with scars and new wounds with stained blood. Beside the cage was a metal chair with chains and a table full of different tools. It was rusty but had stains of blood.
"Was that a torture chair " Rose asked her self.
"Am sorry if this creeps you out but I personally think he deserves it " Sean said.
Rose walked to the cell and called Nathan's name.
"I..s th..at you Ro..se " a weak voice called
"Yeah it's me " she cried.
Nathan slowly got up and faced her, his face pale and sunken. She almost cried out in pain.
"A..m So so..so..rry " he let out.
Rose found herself cry out.
"Am sorry too " she cried.
She turned around and walked out. She didn't stop until she was back in the car. Arthur and Sean followed her and in silence, they drove back.
She was silent as she looked out the window, her tears still flowing as she silently cried. Arthur passed his handkerchief which she took.
They returned home where she went up to their room. Arthur didn't go in and went to work. He knew she didn't want to see him.
The look in her eyes from that day had returned after she saw Victoria and Nathan. The look that despised and feared him.
It was a look he had prayed not to see again but today it was there until they returned home. She turned so quiet and distant in just seconds after seeing only three of the people had dealt with.
Rose felt her heartache as she remembered the way all the victims of Arthur looked like.
But they deserved it she told herself. But deep down her other self told her it was wrong.
Was Arthur the man she fell for the same who did that to them? Rose felt her head start to ache. She moved to the bed and laid down trying to forget the scenes from the warehouse.
" Are you okay?" Sean asked him after their meeting.
"Am fine " he said.
"You don't seem fine, you where absentminded during the whole meeting"
Arthur walked into his office dropping into his seat.
"I don't want to lose her," Arthur said.
Sean saw his friend's desperation.
"You won't you guys are married and so in love with each other. I know Rose will never think about that "
He sighed.
Arthur returned home with hopes of explaining himself to Rose and making sure she would never think about leaving him.
"Dorothy where are Rose and Arthur?" he asked after he got home.
"She left with him and told me to give you this when you returned "
Arthur froze when he heard the words Dorothy said. He took the letter from her but didn't immediately open it.
He walked to his bedroom and opened it.
-"Gone to see grandfather with little Arthur and Justin. Be back in a week " she had written.
Arthur collapsed to the bed to him it was a sign that Rose wanted some distance from him. And that was a bad sign.
Irene called Sean telling him about Rose leaving for her grandfather.
"Did something happen after you visited that place?" she asked.
"She was freaked out and ran out after she saw Nathan. I don't know what happened after they left " he said.
"She called and told me she was leaving for her grandfather's with her brother and son "
"Arthur didn't like the look in her eyes when she left that place. Do you think she's now rethinking about their relationship?"
"Sean don't overwork your brain with such useless thoughts. Rose just needs time to take in all that she saw then she will be back " Irene said.
"Am now worried about Arthur, I should go see him "
Sean left work and drove to Arthur's home. Dorothy told him Arthur hadn't left his room since his return from work.
Arthur was laying down on the couch when he heard a knock on the door.
"Arthur are you okay?" he heard Sean's voice on the other side of the door.
"Am fine go away " Arthur told him.
"But Irene told me to see your face before I leave "
Arthur sighed and got up walking to the door.
"There, are you happy now leave, " Arthur said.
Sean blocked the door and looked at his friend's cold face.
"Come down and have a drink with me " Sean pulled Arthur out of his room, dragging him to the mini bar in the house.
