"Do you love my daughter?"

From that day onwards, Rose and Faith frequently started to meet each other. Rose also didn't suspect or shy away from his repeated approach for his companies work. She felt the profit while working with this man is very big, so she never thought of anything else in major. Moreover, if Faith has something like love for her, she will reciprocate if she can if he can accept her. This type of thinking is very easy for Rose because she had always been simple in terms of relationship with other man. Yet as the time went by her feelings changed for Faith, but her reserved nature didn't let the other party suspicious of her.

And the meeting time shortened considerably, from three months to one months and months to weak and from weak to days. Catherine and Leo are in holiday and seeing their daughter going out frequently these days they started to feel worried. Today again Rose is going out for dinner. She is wearing a white dress matched for night dinner party. Her graceful elegance and beauty never failed to shock people. She came down as her heel clanked in the large silent hall. This time the couple in the hall looked at her in silent and Unable to control herself Catherine asked, "With whom you are having dinner? You are very active recently. Tell mom about it."

Rose "I'm going out for a business deal."

Catherine, "Is that man or woman?"

Rose, "Mom why do you asked so?"

Catherine asked without replying to her, "The place where you are meeting is it safe? Tell me, baby."

Rose said "I'm going out for a business meeting mom; it is safe of course. Moreover, I have four strong bodyguards with me. I'm not meeting a special person. If there is anyone I like, you know me well I will bring him home."

Leo held his worried wife and nodded towards Rose, "Rose is right. She is a good girl. She will bring that person home if needed. You are worrying too much my dear."

Rose left smiling. With her father around she can rest assure about her mother's worried to hell mind. Watching her vanishing car. Leo said to Catherine who is glaring at him, "Don't worry she will be fine. She has to live her life the way she wants. We cannot stop her, and I want her to live like this too, like a normal person."

"I know, I cannot make her stay, I fear. The fear of losing her is so intense that I don't want her to be with anyone. I think with the passing years I'm being stricter. After all, she is our princess." Said, Catherine

Leo sighed he massaged her back. He directed his love to a walk outside, "Let's go to the garden we can talk everything out again."

It has been like this for very long, Catherine always takes so much tension and worries about Rose. Leo does not remember how many times he had talked to Catherine about it. But every time he had this conversation, he would end up seeing her crying. Leo loved her and is very gentle and patient while explaining, that Rose cannot be caged in this beautiful villa. She has to walk out one day.

People in love are very compassionate about their meeting with each other. And Faith is too like this. He always looked forward to their next meeting. Restless to meet her see her again and again, he is very exhausted. He is in a black business suit, exceptionally handsome. He raised his head from the white paper sheets and laptops to look at the young lady.

Opposite him is a beautiful and gentle young lady who is talking to him about the contract between both companies. Her cherry like lips opened and closed as if enticing him to come over and kiss her, but he knows this is not the reality. It is just his utopian thought. Suddenly he felt bitter, by just thinking about it, that he cannot do it. He still remembers that hug few months ago. If someone asked him to describe that night, he will with full description.

Full of business thought Rose finished with her proposal and glanced at Faith very naturally. She has observed him from time to time. He was not very serious about the business talk. He didn't say anything for a while. Rose glanced at him and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Faith slowly came out from his thoughts. He said looking at the pile of papers in front of him," The contract is very feasible and profits both of us. Our corporations will continue. Let's have our dinner first."

Rose said, "Thank you, Mr. Faith."

Faith smiled and said, "Don't thank me." pausing he said in a slow pace, "You know other than business talks, I have another topic to discuss with you" saying this he observed the lady.

Tilting her head in curiosity, Rose asked, "What is it? Please say." She cut the meat and put it in her mouth which was almost choked up due to Faith's next words.

Faith confessed as he smiled in very handsome way, his voice melodic, "I want to be your boyfriend. You will find it weird or anything, but I do truly love you. I wanted to tell you this thing, but I was discouraged that you would reject me in a blunt way. This possibility still exists but I can't wait anymore."

Rose "..."

He saw her choked expression and her nervous look. He asked gently, "What do you think about it?"

Rose "..."

"I have never been in a relationship with anyone. I want you to be my loved one. I will take care of you and will never come between you and your work. This is my earnest approach." said Faith earnestly.

Rose was shocked and realized that this is true after waiting for two minutes glancing at her watch. From the moment they had that long hug at night she already had confirm that Faith has something for her. Every time she meets with him, her heart would turn restless to the possibility that he will propose her. She was prepared to say professionally that this cannot be done. However, now the thought of her mind is turnover, and she almost nodded without any thoughts. Her look serious but also showing her struggles. This made Faith laughed again.

She looked at the wine glass and like a student waiting for her turn to recite the poem, she nervously said, "Mr. Faith should find someone else. I'm different from others. I have no interest in this kind of things. I don't even know the meaning of your like. I will only burden you. Sorry."

Faith knew she will reject him. But he persistent to say his reasoning, he said looking at her, amused by her reaction, "You are different that's why I fell for you. If you are the same as others, I would never have been into you. The women I have seen so far were very different from you. They wanted my wealth with exchange of their body, would this kind of woman be my type, if it is than, I would already have a harem for myself."

Faith stood to leave, Rose wanted to grab him but couldn't, her intellects tell to let him go but her heart is squeezing to grab him. There is an uneasy feeling that if she didn't stop him, she would lose him. But what she should do now.

While thinking hard, she heard him say, "Our talk will not influence our contract. You think about it for one week. I know you may feel complex, but I'm certain that you are the person I'm waiting for, for the past years. I hope you can be mine."

"Let's go I will drop you at your villa. I happen to go that way too." Faith said with a cute and gentle smile seeing her not having an appetite anymore. They walked down the room.

Rose considered for a while thinking she is a reborn girl and despite running behind Boyle for revenge, she wants to live her life happily this time. The happiness of a normal person, for it, she is even willing to let of all her hatred. Her last life was a total mess. Destroying Boyle is very easy to work on, and she doesn't want to do it. Her motto is very simple, she doesn't care about haters. Her love, sadness, and anger should be felt by her loved ones. Since Faith is interested in her, she will think about it. From her past life, she knew one thing, i.e.. having a sincere love is the most difficult thing. Even if it is fake or for a little while, she hopes things would be better in her life. So, thinking like this for him, doesn't cost anything.

She said, "Okay, let's get to know each other. If after one week any one of us thought, we are not compatible then we will not proceed with it. Love in business world is messy, you know."

Faith looked at her in shock, he thought Rose would protest like those other girls because even if, she is different from others, she is, still a woman after all. But she did not. She considered it and took action directly. He really loved this side of her. She is not after wealth but after him. It doesn't matter who confessed whom but the thing that both are chasing love is the main thing.

Rose, at last, said, "But after knowing me more you may never contact me again." She looked sad for some reasons.

These last words hit him hard. He knew why she said it. She has CIPA, which is something that any person would avoid. Her condition is very dangerous. No other party would be willing to accept her despite her beauty and her strong character. majority of the patient don't even live long enough, so no one would associate with them. Faith knew this but still walked towards her, falling for her, willing to suffer with her. What is this if not love? He can do anything for her.

Faith felt his heart ached for a moment, but he managed to give a sincere smile, "Okay, I'm happy that you are willing to try it out." in return he saw Rose nodded too.

The drive to her villa was peaceful. the possible fight and disagreement didn't happen between them. Faith dropped her at the doorstep of the villa. She stepped out and said good night to go back. He waited till she walked into the villa and was about to go back when he saw his future in-laws walking towards him.

At first, he thought they are here to question him but didn't expect to hear them saying, "Let's talk." He was invited inside by Leo and Catherine. He was already imagining great things, like fight and argument.

Faith awkwardly greeted them. He felt guilty about being with Rose and making her family worried. Moreover, he didn't even start chasing her and now her parent is already on the road of obstructing his way to her. When he was in trance of what to do or what not to do, Rose very frankly left to get changed. And in the giant hall, only three of them were left. They talked for a while. He was ready for a clever argument with them because even if they are her parents, he can't give up on her no matter what.

But Leo unexpectedly said, "Do you love my daughter?"

His gaze unusually warm, it doesn't seem like a confrontation at all he thought. Faith blurted out, "How do you know?" But after saying this he actually regretted. He cursed himself in his heart. Faith never felt this kind of nervousness before.

Leo smiled at his constant complex gazes, "I was same as you when I saw Catherine for the first time. At that time, I tried every method to get her attention and love. But that method did not work. She was so indifferent that it scared me. I thought I would not get her, but it was not the case. Her way of expressing feelings were very different from others sweet words. She would shout at me not at others, all because she doesn't know how to express herself to me."

He smiled thinking those romantic days, " When I understood this she was gone to foreign for study. I thought she would never be with me, but I was wrong again. After countless tries I failed repeatedly but I never thought of giving up. As the time went by, she had become a habit of my every day, every time. She came back to me and held my hand in every situation."

"Women are complex to understand that it would make you feel like you are worthless, or they are worthless. You will see their most ugly side at a glance if you are at the point of giving up, but if you only saw her bright side and also support her ugly side than, that is, when a man is truly in love."

Faith smiled genuinely. With interest, he heard all this. Taking every note about all the words. After hearing for so long his nervousness disappeared. He felt good listening to him. The man is now at his forties, but the age didn't leave any mark at his face. Still handsome like a youth.

Leo continued, "I'm telling you this because I want my daughter to get what she deserves. She's very straightforward like us. She will never lie to you. And this type of person occasionally gets hurt. I had always given her best. She is my princess after all and hope she would receive this treatment till her end, even if we are not with her."

Catherine brought some refreshments and sat beside Leo. Her moves graceful as she poured tea for Faith. They never liked to have servants. After the separation with Ambers they sent all the savants to work in the garden but didn't let them work inside. Another reason is Rose. They don't want to have anyone suspicious around Rose because people's heart always changes and cannot be trusted.

"When she was a child, she got injured and got a disease of not feeling pain. We were very worried about her growth. Knowing that she would have to stay scared towards people for all her life pains us. You like her I can understand. But you are going to live with a person who cannot feel pain. You will get worried for her every day. Are you sure you want to be with someone like her?"

The hall fell into silence. Catherine intently looked at Faith with hope. They had this talk before. Rose should better marry someone to experience life ahead, so that she would not have any regrets later. Catherine thought so too, if the man is trustable and Rose like him then they would do as Rose wishes. And today at the right time they saw Faith dropping her, so they wanted to say these things to test Faith. Moreover, Faith is someone who cannot possibly have any ulterior motive to approach and even if he has it would not harm her. He is so rich and without a single woman in his home, person like this cannot be a player right.

Faith stare at both of them and thought how beautiful this couple is. The man is handsome, and the woman is beautiful, what a perfect match. More than this they are good people. He thought that things could proceed slowly but if they want to start with marriage talk than he is more than willing. The happiness in him is immeasurably. He can understand why they are doing this.
