Author's POV
Rose got worried that someone was watching her since she heard footsteps pacing outside her room. She slowly stood up to take a look, but as soon as she opened her door and peeked outside, she saw nobody. However, she heard someone in the laundry room. When she went to check, Amanda was there. "You arrived early? asked Rose giving Amanda a wary glance. "Yes, ma'am. Mr. Black called me ahead of time because he needed something from the laundry". Amanda answered.
Rose watched her for a moment and then, without a saying anything, turned to go back to her room. She made the decision to go to work today rather than sleep. She scheduled her meetings for the day and checked her mails before taking a bath and getting dressed.
She was wearing a cream-colored shirt paired with a brown skirt, finishing it with brown heels. After applying minimal makeup, just enhancing her features, and painting those plump lips in brown, matching her outfit, she left the room. It was almost nine, so she hurried for her breakfast. To her surprise, she did not see Amanda in the kitchen but rather Adam, who was cooking. "Good morning, Princess," Adam said and gestured for Rose to sit, bacon and eggs for you. He offered her the plate.
Rose noticed he was already dressed for the day. "How is your foot? Adam asked.Rose hesitated to answer, "Oh, that's fine now," like a deer caught in headlights. She turned her body to the other side, taking a bite of what Adam had prepared for her while also gathering her composure. If you can't drive, we can go to work together, Adam suggested. "No, thank you; I will do it, and thank you for the breakfast," Rose replied.
She cleared her plates and put them back where they belonged after getting up. Adam had been watching her the entire time. He asked her, "You are wearing heels; doesn't your foot hurt you at all?" Rose gave him a smile. You seem to forget that I am a warrior. Saying this, Rose left by the front door while Adam followed her closely behind. In tandem, they walked into the parking lot, then they drove off separately.
Adam's car was already parked in the workplace parking lot when Rose arrived. The speed at which he drove here astonished her. Upon arriving at her cabin, she observed that the chaos outside her window had finally subsided since the last visit. It is the third day since the takeover, and what a mess it has made.
Those who were certain of their living arrangements are unemployed at the moment. This is the way life is and has always been; the person who prevails will be the one who makes it through it all. The people at the bottom are gradually eliminated by the hierarchy; this pattern has been constant for ages.
Rose was startled by a knock on the door and turned to see who was standing there, grinning condescendingly at her Sam tapped her foot anxiously and stated, "And here I thought if I stay you will be kicked out; maybe this is your last day." Rose immediately retorted, "I don't fuck my supervisor to suck upto them", rose replied mockingly.
All of a sudden Rose felt hot and sweaty, she struggled to control her anger. She had the feeling that everything around her was about to explode and that she was a ticking time bomb. She hurried from her office toward the restroom because she wanted to be by herself, despite Sam's attempts to stop her.
As soon as she entered the restroom, she noticed that the rim of her pupil was glowing, changing the color of her eyes. She sensed energy bursting to come out of her body. Glancing down at her hands Rose noticed an orange-red stream of fire emerging as she felt something burning. When she looked up again, Adam was there staring at her. "What are you doing here?" Rose asked. Adam answered, "I believe you need help." Just like that, Rose passed out, and Adam was there to hold her.
As he led her to the elevator while cradling her in his arms, he had everyone stop and look at them. Particularly Sam, who remained open-mouthed and stunned to her core.Adam took her to the inner room and settled her down on the sofa after they arrived at his office. Ever since he met the Princess for the first time, at a ceremony where she was with her father, he had been intrigued by her. He attempted to speak with her but was never brave enough.
Her lips were gently parted as she fell asleep, and he noticed her soft features. Her hair was arranged in a spiral on the couch, her lush lips tinted a scarlet, her long eyelashes brushing against her full cheeks. He became instantly distracted by this, as down his pants the other member was awake.
Frustated that he lost control, he made his way from the inner office to the main office. She doesn't even realize that she has him wrapped around her finger. He was aware of the Great King's actions, which is why he continued to search for her. He followed her all day after seeing her one day at a traffic light. He stopped when he couldn't uncover any indication that it was truly her. However, as soon as he approached her to complete the merger at this company and accidently touched her finger he knew it was her.
After some while, Adam went to check on Rose.She remained sleeping. He made the choice to stay with her rather than go. He spent hours observing her, taking in every nuance of her appearance. He saw every facial expression and action she made in her dream world. It was approximately one in the morning when she eventually got up. Taken aback by her surroundings, Rose glanced at Adam.
Suddenly, she had this pounding headache. "Let's start with some water, here," Adam handed Rose the glass. "What had happenedd? Rose asked, "I feel exhausted, like I've been working for hours on end without taking a break". Rose recalled experiencing a sudden burst of energy before everything went dark. After that, she had difficulty remembering anything.
Adam was staring at her. Adam stated, "Your powers are trying to come out; we need Royal's soul pendant to unlock it because you are of age for sometime now and haven't released them yet, but the last time I searched, I don't remember anyone alive," Rose struggled with what to say regarding her father's soul pendant. She had minimal faith in Adam.
She felt hot agin from inside. She took another sip of water to help her relax. Rose said, "I think we should head back now," with trepidation.I apologize for entangling you in my mess as well. Adam ignored what she said as he glanced at her. "I think we both need each other in some way to benefit."
Rose cast a blank gaze on Adam.Later, when she returned to the parking lot, she noticed Adam standing close to her vehicle. Adam suggested, "Leave your car here; we can take mine; I will have someone pick it up for you." Rose nodded and started to move in the direction of Adam's car, seeing little need in continuing the argument.
Because of the light traffic, they arrived at the penthouse quickly. Rose felt even more uneasy in the car because of the quietness. Even though it was just ten minutes, she felt as though it had taken an hour. She was unable to evaluate the source of their tension. Adam assisted her in getting out of the vehicle and guided her to the elevator.
Rose was growing increasingly nervous with their silence. She was drawn toward Adam all of a sudden. Her breathing became audible to Rose, and the musky smell of Adam caused her brain to shut off. Rose lost control and surged on Adam, cornering him, but Adam became more conscious of Rose's actions as a result of her abrupt movement.
Instead of pulling himself back, He drew closer, making their lips brushed each others. This small gesture made Rose more aware of this unknown feeling which was kept hidden for so long.
The restrain which was solidified over the years was giving up. If it had only been physical intimacy, she would have been content, but hearing her heart race and her breath being taken away making her completely breathless seem like more than just a passing interest.
The sensation of love seeping through her emotional gaps and consuming her in its desire, driving her to crave more despite her baffled state of mind, leading her to submit to this intoxication.The unimanginable pleasure this can give her kept her going for more and more. She closed the distance between their lips, taking his breath into her. Weighing in for the last time of the consequences, she moved an inch closer.
