Tale Of Blood And Rose

"Sis, I was sleeping but it felt like someone kissed me. My lips are also swollen." She explained to Laila.

Laila chuckled before saying," Dear, you must be dreaming and how can someone kiss you. Young Master is not in the mansion and none of the male servants can enter the mansion during this time. You should sleep in your room. Now go."

Niya nodded and silently went back to her room, lowering her head. But all the time the same question was striking her head," If no one kissed me then how my lips swelled up." She touched her lips, trying to remember if she could remember anything.

She was walking here and there on the late and dark night inside her room, continuously thinking about the incident, which had just happened to her. But nothing she can remember, which can help her.

Spending time in the room, she can't understand when the darkness in the sky decreases and the sun is waiting for everyone with it's golden rays. It was waiting to give happiness to the people but it seems God was not in favour of Niya.

She couldn't sleep well last night and now was getting ready after getting fresh, bearing the pain in her heart.

Her gaze fell on her lips through the glass window and she was surprised to see marks on her lip. She slowly touched her lips saying,"how it looks less deep? I remember very well, I bit my lips very hard last night." A tear drop fell down her eyes.

She chooses a brown matte lipstick that can completely hide the mark on her lips. It feels odd, applying such shade which she had never used before, but she didn't hesitate doing it after all she wanted to hide the mark.

She put on a light make and chose smokey makeup for eyes, but it can't hide her puffy eyes. It didn't hide the pain, which was still inside her eyes.

"Now it's all done." She took up important files and went downstairs, deep in her thoughts about last night.

She hurriedly ran downstairs and sat on the dining table to eat her breakfast. She felt uneasy while eating but didn't notice.

Leaving food on her plates, without bidding her bye to sister Laila, she quickly ran out of the mansion. Laila was startled seeing this, because never in a single day ,she didn't forget to bid her bye to Laila.

"Maybe she was busy." Laila murmured before going back to her work.

On the other hand, Niya was in the cab but her mind was stuck in last night's incident. All she wanted to find out was, what is the truth? What had happened to her was only a nightmare or something was behind this?

Niya's POV:--

I quickly ate my breakfast only to kill hunger. I even didn't eat my appetite.I even didn't bid bye to sis, now I am feeling very guilty for all these.

I took a cab to reach EMPIRE. I was in the cab but my mind was still inside my room. I can't understand it at all.

Everything was going smoothly, but suddenly the cab stopped, making me worried about it, because I knew very well, the Devil is coming today and what he can do with me, if I reached late.

"What happened uncle? Why did you stop the cab?"

"Dear, I think you have to take another cab." He politely said, but I was still worried because no one could understand my problem.

I came out of the cab, my face saddened seeing the monsoon weather. I decided to walk, because I know it's hard to find a cab in that place.

I was walking alone in the street. The dry leaves crunched under my feet, when my feet fell on it. I stroke my both hands around me to feel warmth. And forwarded my legs towards my destination.

After taking my long and quick steps, I managed to reach EMPIRE within 30 minutes.

I dialled sir Andrew's number, and in the first ring he picked the call. "Young Madam, where are you? You know, Sir must be reaching here very soon."

"I am just in front of EMPIRE, I am coming inside." I felt relieved knowing he has not come yet. The nervousness in my atmosphere was slowly shattering, as I stepped inside.

"I made it." I took a deep breath and went inside. I slowly ran towards our trainee section and sat on my seat.

"Hey, where were you?" A girl named Lavender asked me. I smiled slightly before replying, "dear, I was stuck in my studies." I lied to her except what I could tell her.

I was busy talking with her, when Daniel knocked my head from behind making me wince in slight pain."Seems you forgot me." He was still busy with his work.

"Hey, how can I forget you? You are only one friend of mine in this country." I chuckled, saying the truth, but his eyes were still on the monitor screen.

He finally turned his face towards mine. He was surprised to see me, not me actually my makeup. "I never thought a cute girl can also turn to be hot." He chuckled, shaking his head.

I narrowed my eyes and looked into his direction, twitching his ear. "Dear friend, what did you say? Take back your words." I said, showing my slight but fake anger.

"Oh sorry! Sorry My dear, I am taking my words back." He said which made me chuckle. "You are a cartoon." I started typing back on the keyboard.

POV ended...

???..

While on the other hand, Jack was resting inside his room on his personal jet. He was not coming with Clove, she has some important work there so she has to stay.

Inside a clean and neat room, on a king size bed Jack was laying down, his one fewot was on another's leg.He was slowly shaking his leg, which was on the other and was smiling.

There was a photo in his hand.The photo was the reason behind his smile, whenever he was alone, sad or angry. Only this photo can calm him whenever his anger was above the 9th cloud.

The ruthless king was smiling seeing someone's photo in his hand. His smile vanished hearing "sir we are about to reach England".

He quickly put that photo back inside his blazer's pocket. And sat on the bed giving a devilious smile. " Very soon , your game will be over.." He poked his tongue inside his cheek before getting up off the bed.
