Chapter 2
Zayne buying her would have been her one-way ticket to freedom. It was the only way for her to leave the brothel without a guard. Then, she could easily slip away before she had to perform any duties.
"I am not for sale," Zayne repeated mockingly what she said before. "I don’t need to buy anyone, and I don’t like meddling in matters that do not concern me."
"You wanted me to kill him," Rose protested.
He shrugged his shoulders and looked at his fingers, "I was bored. Nothing in this silly church is entertaining."
Rose couldn’t understand the man before her. Maybe it was because he was from a foreign land.
She lowered her head, realising how foolish her words must have been to him. Saying she wasn’t for sale only to turn around and ask him to buy her.
"Please forget what I said. Enjoy your night."
Rose turned around and returned to her room. Getting caught once was a sign she could not ignore. It was best to wait till morning to get water. This time it was the foreigner, next time it could be Graham.
"The door is wide open. Why don’t you make a run for it?" Zayne questioned. He knew she didn’t want to be here. He could not forget how quickly she left the room when he had first met her and Graham.
Rose smiled. Only new people like him didn’t understand why she didn’t run.
"Be careful where you roam and what you say here. In this establishment, there’s always someone watching. Good night," She bid him goodbye.
