Chapter 6: Baby is going to find mummy
Her head throbbed like a never-ending rhythm as she awoke. A disgusting dry taste stuck to her tongue, and her throat felt dry and itchy. Her eyelids fluttered open, but her vision was blurred; she blinked quickly to clear it.
Her muscles ached, as if she'd been pulled too tightly. Slowly, she lifted her head, her heart racing at the idea that she wasn't alone. She looked around the room, her eyes adjusting to the light.
Her gaze spotted a man standing there, tall and powerful. Soon, the man approached her, his intense gaze making her heart race. He smirked, his voice silky and cold. "Good, you're finally awake."
"Rolan," Rose called, looking at the man she had been hiding from for three years.
Fate had its own way of playing games. She had never expected that they would meet again after all these years. She blinked, her gaze lowering to her thighs, not wanting to look at him much.
She didn't know what to feel. Three years had passed since her rebirth, and she had let go of the memories of loving him with the time that had passed. She didn't know what to say to him right now.
Rolan had answered, "Yes, it's me, love," when she had asked. He took slow, deliberate steps, approaching her.
Rose was seated on a chair, her hands tied with a rope behind her. He had found her after three years, and there was no way he was going to let her escape from him again. She would tell him in detail her reasons for leaving him just like that. She would explain why she made it seem like she had stopped loving him.
Reaching close to her, he squatted next to her, taking her face in his hands, holding her chin, and bringing her face, which she was hiding from him, to face him. She was biting her lips in awkwardness, her eyes refusing to steady themselves on him.
He chuckled, ignoring the fear she was showing.
"Had enough fun in the rabbit hole you ran to for years?"
