...The Bait...

"This man again!"

Rose didn't wait too long, instead, she attacked him to clear the way out for the other ladies. but he was too strong. He avoided her attack and grabbed her both hands. then he held her up against the wall. She could see his angry eyes behind the mask.

" I must think quickly to save myself and the other women? This man surprised me with his speed, and now I can't even move, his grab is too strong."

At that moment a fat man entered the room accompanied by many armed men.

- Thank you sir for saving the situation, I'm sorry you witnessed such a mess. We will handle it from here. GUARD, TIE THEM AGAIN AND BRING ME THAT ONE, I AM GOING TO GIVE HER A LESSON.

When they tried to take Rose away, The masked man wrapped his arms around her body.

- This woman is mine, I bought her with my money, no one touches her."

- I understand, sir, but we must punish her for her mistake.

Rose was still struggling to escape from him, she even kicked his leg, but his strong grasp didn't loosen a bit.

She looked at him furiously

- I prefer to die than be your slave.

- But you are already mine...Rosalina. Replied the man while whispering in her ear.

At that moment Rose stopped struggling and looked at him with eyes full of surprise.

" How did he..?...Wait a minute.... that black hair those black eyes, and this scent!

- Your highn.....

And before she could finish her word, he kissed her.

The fat man ordered his guards to get away from them.

- Leave her, she will be punished soon by her master.

He pretended to hug her then he whispered in her ear:

- You're right, it is me. Play along, I need to catch the head of this gang.

Hans released Rose from his grasp while she was blank. He took a rope from the ground and tied her hands.

- I paid 50 million for this slave, but I'm not satisfied. I'm ready to pay 100 million if he brings to me what I want exactly.

- 100 million? You can tell us your preference, sir, we will make sure to fulfill your desire.

- I can't tell what I want randomly, I'm an important person. I can only talk to someone trustworthy.

- Can you wait for a minute, sir.

The fat man whispered to one of his men who went in a hurry then he came back while nodding with his head.

- Will you agree if it was our boss? He will surely fulfill your request in complete secrecy.

- Fine.

- Please, follow me.

Rose was following Hans while trying to understand what did just happen"

" How did he find me? Why he didn't say anything when he sat beside me? Maybe this is his plan to catch the gang, he is going for their head.

But that kiss...stop, I must focus. He kept the rope around my hand loose and gave me my dagger in secret. This is our chance to cut the Snakehead."

The Fat man led them to an upstairs place, then he asked them to wait.
