Black Rose: Revenge Of The Callous Heiress

Rose had no idea how she got in the car later. Her head was a mess still, and she was staring into space till a violent shake threw her back to reality. She frowned and turned to look at Sophia only to see an unforgiven face and you slut-how-dare-you-steal-my-guy expression on her face. "Rose, is it true about what happened back there? When did you start dating Alexander king? How come you've never mentioned it?" Sophia was so frustrated that Alex didn't even take a single look at her.

Her pride was not allowed to be defeated, and Sophia swore that she would have it back, what she believed to be hers.

Seeing the scowl on Sophia's face, Rose felt much better. Literally, she knew was basically being a callous and black hearted Schadenfreude, but she couldn't help it. There was nothing more satisfying than finding Pleasure-in-others'-misfortune. And today Rose was pleased to see her step-mother and sister suffer. Beatrice had decided to ride in the same car with both Sophia and Rose despite the fact that she had brought her own car before.

"Why should I tell you about my relationship? But, if you want to know the answer to that, you would have to ask Alexander king." Rose gave an intentionally vague answer. Meanwhile, she knew there was no point in making an explanation as they would not believe her anyway. After what had happened, how could she convince them that they had never met before?

Sophia bit her lips and thought Nathalia was showing off and remarked bitterly, "Huh, sister, Alexander king is just playing games with you and using you. Don't be serious, or you will be crying soon when you realize that he has only used you." Sophia said try to make it look like she was looking out for Rose. However, her bitter tone betrayed her jealousy.

It wasn't difficult for Rose to tell what Sophia was thinking, and she sneered secretly as she played with her hair.

In a casual and innocent manner, she replied, "Don't worry, my dear Sophia. I can play along. Don't you find Alexander king very good-looking? He is just the perfect definition of a good "husband material" man, but not bad as a boyfriend. Also, there's nothing to lose anyway."

The less Rose seemed to care, the angrier Sophia got. She felt a heavyweight on her chest. 'I wish I could just wipe that smug look off your face.' Sophia thought.

Beatrice had been observing Roseline ever since they got into the car. Rose was aware of the burning stare from Beatrice, but chose to ignore it and let her be. After all, she can't die from her stare.

'Is this brat really in a relationship with Alexander king? How can a small brat like have such a connection, all the way to Alexander king? It can't be possible! Did she know him before coming back to the country?' Beatrice was raging with different kinds of questions in her head.

After a while, Beatrice couldn't hold her silence and finally asked tentatively, "Rose, did you really know Mr. King or did you guys plan what happened back there?"

Rose smiled and lowered her head bashfully. She said nothing but she was able to successfully and smartly convene the message "Yes" in silence.

Beatrice got the clear message, be it

misleading, and her face quickly turned into another displeased and irritated frown. 'So that's why she's been acting differently today. It turns out this brat actually has a connection with one of the world's most powerful men and he's got her back. However, there's nothing to be concerned about. She's not the type for him at all. It won't last long. It's alright. She can be smug for now, and soon she will be crying. It will teach her a good lesson.' She thought.

Sophia on the other hand had no one else to blame other than Rose for her anger, and then she got an idea to get revenge for now. "Sister, I really love the jewelry you got today so much. Can I have them please?" Sophia begged with the sweetest and cutest look on her face as she put her hands out.

Knowing what Sophia was trying to do, Rose smiled and agreed instantly without a second thought, "Of course, anything you want Sophia. Here, take them."All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

'You want them, take them. Let's see how much more you can handle. You're still naive and stupid unlike my past life when you were a lot older than this. No worrie, I won't let you grow to so much power like you did in my past.' Sophia felt much better with the jewelry in her hands.

Meanwhile, Beatrice glared at Sophia hopelessly. "Don't be ridiculous, Sophia. They are your sister's. Don't take your sister's stuff, besides you already have enough jewelry at home." She scolded Sophia.

'Silly girl, why can't you think long-term and take your eyes off those for once?'

However, There was too much anger burning inside of Sophia that couldn't let out so she was unable to digest the hidden meaning behind what her mother was trying to tell her. 'Why should I leave this for her. Rose got the jewelry and stole my man while I got nothing.'

She held the box tight, knitted her brows, and protruded her lips in a sulky pout. "Mom, I'm not taking her stuff. She gave them to me willingly." Aren't you my real mom? Why are you on Roseline's side?' she glared at her mom.

"No. They are your sister's." Beatrice

kept watching Rose suspiciously.

The way Rose had acted today completely took her by surprise, and she had to keep her guard up. Even though she later realized Alexander king had Rose's back, she could still sense something was wrong.

Noticing Beatrice's gaze on her, Rose gave her an innocent look and wondered, "Why? Stepmother? Is there something on my face."

Beatrice frowned worriedly, seeing how calm Rose responded.

'I can't just tell what she is thinking. Is she scheming, or is she really innocent? And this brat is back to calling me Stepmother.' Beatrice couldn't tell what Rose was up to.
