There was a soft appeasing male scent that flooded through her nose. It was too familiar but the fact that she was entranced by the very handsome man. It seemed time slowed almost stoping taking almost forever for him to pass by her.
He was the most beautiful being she had ever seen like a guardian angel. The white shirt he wore did not do a good job of hiding the muscles he had under it. He was tall she had to raise her head to see his black hair. His thin lips and high-bridged slim nose. She gulped at the sight as her heart began a drumline contest in her chest.
She could literally hear her heart beat. She took note of him and him alone. Everything else seemed to have lost there presence around her at that moment. He exuded a domineering cold aura that made her feel weak in her legs and thousands of butterfly threatened to invade her stomach.
How could a human be so magnificent? How could a human be so beautiful? At this point, she was tempted to ask him if he was really human. She wanted to reach out for his hand and stop him from going to that soft almost non-existing scent stays with her.
A hand on her wrist pulled her back to reality and she turned to see Anna looking at her. "That guy scares the hell out of me," Anna whispered as low as she could when she could not stop the feeling of fear like a prey caught for slaughter in the presence of the Hart family heir and immediately turned to her sister for rescue.
Rose turned to the direction where the young man was leaving in a car glaring laser lights at him for scaring her sister and having the effect he had in her. She hated that fact. She turned to Wayne who held her wrist and frowned.
Why should she, a princess although lost and totally powerless feel intimidated in a stranger's presence. The guy gave her a weird beautiful feeling although she did not want to acknowledge it. His scent made her want to sleep, it felt like a sleeping pill.
"Lets us go," she pulling her sister's wrist towards their car she said when she remembered where she inhaled that scent.
A pair of grey cold eyes watched Rose disregard his presence and walked away. He squinted but remained calm. He knew she will not recognize him but he also wanted to her to look to him at least meet his gaze before going running off in the manner she did.
His grey cold eyes got colder when he remembered the hand that pulled her away from his part belonged to a boy. She felt a strong urge to clean his handprint off her beautiful delicate wrist and leave his own prints.
Rose ran into her room as soon as she arrived back home and picked one of her pillows putting it close to her nose but it smelt of Rose from her and the laundry agents used to wash it.
She dropped the first pillow and picked another but to her disappointment it smelt just like the first. She noticed the bedsheets as well as the pillow cases had been changed twice. She ran to her closet and opened the wardrobe where her beddings are kept and pulled out the bedding but the one which was there that night was gone.
"Oh goodness. Why?" She asked rubbing her face. Without the old bedding which she could only guess has been abandoned and replaced with a new one by Joyce, she could not rectify it.
She paused and stared at the wardrobe she scattered just now and frowned. What the he*l is wrong with me? She had to ask herself since she can not remember the last time she lost her cool in such manner.
She returned to her room and sat on the bed running her hand through her long hair. It has been a very troubling experience. She suddenly wished she did not go to check on Jace at all. She ended up agreeing to meet with Mr. Hart with the nod of her head so that he will answer them about their friend.
She met a stranger who had a strange pleasant effect on her. She also found it strange that Anna felt he was hostile to her. She got up and rearranged everything she scattered in her room in search of the familiar scent also scolding herself for suspecting that guy's scent will find itself into her room.
She went in search of her sister who was doing a group assignment with Wayne who was her class mate. The two if them were in the library working seriously. "Anna please excuse me for a moment," she called out when she got to the table with wires and some electronic stuff on it.
"Sure," Anna answered immediately and went to Rose wondering what could be the reason Rose looked so serious. "I will be right back," she told her group member and went out of the library with her sister.
"Ok," Wayne replied with his head still bent as he continued working their assignment.
"Why do you think Jace's brother was hostile to you?" She asked when they sat down in the living room.
"I don't know but that was the same way it felt like the first time I met him. Why do you ask?" Anna asked worried he was also hostile to her sister.
"I just wanted to find out if you did anything to offend him. I think he hostile to everyone but for you to feel singled out by his hostility, it think that's odd."
"No, it's not. That guy is a very cold heartless person he makes people so scared just from his gaze so, you were not singled out," Debby said walking into the living room with a plate of strawberry cake. "Do you want some?" She asked making herself comfortable on a sofa.
"Yeah. I think I do," Anna said taking a slice immediately.
"Liam is now a traitor of the Hart family. I heard my father talk about it. My father also said he is starting his own empire because he wants to break one of their family rules. I think that's why Jace went away. They always go away for two years for a training," Jace said leaning against the doorway into the living room.
"Why will he betray his own family over a rule?" Debby asked shaking her head in disbelief.
"A few people say it is over a girl or something but most people believe he wants to be a real mafia boss but his family's rules wants him to be subject to the throne. He is breaking free to creat e his own empire," Wayne continued his narration." Give me a slice of cake," he said reaching towards Debby for a slice of cake when he sat on the arm of the chair.
"So, Jace went away without letting us know. That traitor," Anna complained over the only thing she heard from all Wayne's narration.
"Rose I heard you have an interview today. Shouldn't you . . .?" Debby began reminding her friend.
"Oh! I forgot. Thanks by the way," Rose interrupted and hurried into the elevator. They must have been trying to get to her on her smartphone but her phone was in her room.
