"I'm not sleeping with you."Cassie crossed her arms and looked at Rufus seriously.
"Thanks for the info. That is not my expectation either."Rufus answered politely.
"Then what are all this mean? It's not like I have won a lottery or something." Cassie was suspicious about the luxury apartment and all the money in front of her.
"Your brilliant sister Rosalyn has helped me pull down a big business project, this is what you deserve. You don't need to worry about the money for your school and your life."Rufus let out a graceful smile and said.
"Where is my sister? I want to see her! Is she okay?"Cassie hasn't seen her sister for over a week, she was so worried about her.
"She is on a business trip. You can call her. Here is your phone, there are two numbers inside, one is your sister's, and the other is mine. Call me when you need anything."Rufus handed over the latest model cellphone to Cassie.
Cassie didn't reply him but called Rosalyn immediately.
"Hey, Cassie, are you ok? How is everything?"Rosalyn's voice appeared on the phone and Cassie's intense mind has loosen up a little.
"Sis, I'm good. Rufus has everything perfectly arranged for me. But I'm worry about you, where are you now? Are you okay? You voice is weak."Cassie grabbed the phone tightly and feeling worry about her sister's situation.
"I'm fine Cassie. Don't worry about me. I'm out of Moonlight City and I will manage to comeback and see you soon. Just focus on your study alright?"Rosalyn cleared her throat to make it sound better.
"Okay. I'll wait for you."Cassie answered. They had talked for a few more minus before the phone call ended.
"Now you believe me?"Rufus said and Cassie nodded.
"That's good. School starts tomorrow, get ready for your new life sweetie."Rufus smile and left the apartment.
Cassie stood in the empty luxury penthouse, a bad feeling has been lingered in her mind.
Rosalyn was not as good as her told Cassie on the phone. She has been brought to the south, the Sunlight City, she believed, and she has been restrained in a big villa in the middle of nowhere for a week. The mark of the powerful alpha has make her weak and all her strength has drained out and she could only stay in bed for days. And the alpha who did this to her, has left her in this big prison and disappeared.
Rosalyn finally got better and she took a shower. After the shower, she stood in front of the big mirror and checked on her wound.
"Savage beast!"Rosalyn looked at the mark on her neck and mumble. It's healed but still a little red and swollen.
"Miss Collins, Alpha Leone is here and he wants to have dinner with you."The maid talked to Rosalyn outside the bathroom.
"Okay, I'll be ready soon,"Rosalyn replied. This villa has maids and butler like an ancient palace. To Rosalyn, it's more like a luxury prison.
She wore an emerald green dress and went to the dining room. Her skin's more bright in the green color. Leone was waiting for her at the dining table.
"You look pale Rosalyn, how are you doing?"Leone asked.
"Weak. Thanks to you."Rosalyn answered and sit down at the other side of the table.
"I'm sorry Rosalyn, I didn't mean to do that. Don't provoke me again and I won't hurt you."Leone walked to Rosalyn and picked out a stunning diamond necklace from a box, then he put it on Rosalyn's neck.
"This should cover the mark, do you like it?"Leone asked softly to Rosalyn's ear.
"Sure."Rosalyn tried her best to keep her voice calm, but the tremble sold her out. She couldn't bare it, the pressure of the diamond necklace on her mark reminded her the terrible memories of that night.
Leone knew she was afraid of him as he felt the tremble on her shoulder. He let out a sigh secretly and went back to his seat.
"Did I fall for this diamond necklace last time?"Rosalyn asked.
"What? No."Leone was surprised by her question.
"Then I was stupid, enough to give up such money."Rosalyn mocked. She lost her memories that had happened before her 20-year-old. She didn't know why she was broke and has been running away from the reason for 5 years. Obviously, Leone was obsessed with her, and he still does, then why she didn't get any money from him? The only possible reason should be that, for all these years, she has been running from him, the alpha Leone.
"Rosalyn, you are the smartest girl I have ever met. I will help you retrieve your memories."Leone smiled and said.
So you can make me your sex toy forever. Rosalyn spoke in her mind.
I need to know why I have run from you before, so I can run again, and this time, nowhere in hell I'll let you find me. Rosalyn drew a revenge plan in her mind.
"Are you going to hide me here forever?"Rosalyn asked.
"No, Rosalyn, I don't mean to restrain you, but you are weak and I think this is a good place for you to rest,"Leone answered.
"Can you show me around after dinner? I was in bed for days and I never get a tour in this house."Rosalyn asked.
"Sure!"Leone was glad that Rosalyn finally shown some interested in this place, or, in him.
"Who is this person?"Rosalyn asked. They were walking around the house and she stopped at the picture of Leone's father.
"This is my father. This house was his before, he gave it to me when I turned 18."Leone answered.
"Have you let me meet him before?"Rosalyn asked.
"No, I was planning to bring you to see my parents after .....ah, it's not important, why the question?"Leone was about to bring her to his parents after that night he marked her and he planned to marry her, but the storm came and broke everything, she went missing the next day.
"Nothing, just asking. I'm tired, "Rosalyn was only able to remain calmed until she arrived to the bedroom and closed the door. She fell to the ground immediately behind the door.
That person in the picture! Rosalyn knew him. She didn't remember anything yet but that person has remind a strong feeling of her. A voice was telling her that this person was the reason of all her sufferings, all her pains, this was the person who has ruined her life! Rosalyn gritted her teeth and decided to find out the truth.
