Chapter 7: Her sister bullied her child
"Now come on, dear, eat your meal," Rolan commanded as he walked into the room, going close to Rose.
When he had reached her, he dropped the plate of food, looking into her eyes.
Rose stared back at him, her eyes trying to comprehend what he was going to do. Rolan ignored her, getting close to her, and Rose closed her eyes in apprehension of what he might do.
Rolan laughed lightly from the corner of his eyes, watching her reaction. He leaned in, and they were very close. Since Rose's eyes were closed, she didn't see his expression.
Slowly, in the darkness and with her eyes closed, Rose felt her hand getting loose, and slowly, her eyes met his own.
He had freed her.
"Come on, eat," he said, repeating himself, walking to fetch the plate of food.
"I don't want you dying on me when I had just found you," he added, placing the plate on her thigh. The food was on a tray so it wouldn't burn her thigh.
Rose gritted her teeth, staring at the plate of food on her thigh. "I'm not eating, take it away." As she said this, she looked up at him, her eyes showing rebellious energy.
All she wanted was to go find her son, Tobi. Tobi must be crying by now because he hadn't seen her.
What does this man want? Wasn't her sister enough for him?
