"that was 15 years ago, the Count already kick me out 15 years ago, after know I'm not his son, we have no blood relation"

Zigel silent for awhile then look at Felic eyes, they actually have no reason for hate each other, Zigel never hate Felic, it's just Felic who want to cut every tie with the Count Pavellir relative, and make his own live after he step out from the family.

" so what are you doing in my house " said Felic sarcastic

But the beautiful scenery in the Russian sky is not able to amaze the beautiful eyes of the woman who is now dressed in a very elegant and elegant way. But his mind drifted somewhere, until a quiet cry woke him up.

"Are you ready? “. Rosa glanced at Aiden from the mirror in front of her, “yes, it's done” she said as she get up from her dressing room. Aiden, who saw Rosa starting to walk closer, turned and walked away while Rosa stepped behind.

They got out of the car and walked to the main door of the mansion.

As the two entered the mansion the servants welcomed their arrival.

Various whispers of envy were quite audible in their ears, but none of them cared, they knew this would be the atmosphere that they gonna faces.

"grandma!! " Said Aiden

Rosa smile " no grandma, he take a good care of me "

" good than, I was worried of his behavior "

"I'm not that cruel to tortured my own wife"

Harley only shack his head faintly, and then told everyone to get together and start a dinner together, as a small event to welcome Rosa into the Morgan family.

Everything seemed to be going well when everyone started eating, but all became a little uncomfortable when one of the relatives started saying harsh.

" oh, right.... Rosa"

felling like someone calling her name Rosa up her head and look forward "yes? "

" I'm just curious, because at your wedding last week I couldn't attend, but I'm curious about your last name and where you lived when you were little? Because some say you never lived in an orphanage.”

" My last name was given by the priest who raised me after the events of 10 years ago, before that I had no last name,” said Rosa calmly, “and I lived in a place near the beach in the southern part of the city.”

" It was a rude question, Vallenteen,” Harley said, staring intently at her 12th grandchild.

" But Rosa didn't seem to mind it,” Vallenteen replied without care to Harley word

" but Vallenteen, Aiden seem no like with what you just said " said Angel, the girl who sit beside Vallenteen

Vallenteen eyes accidentally meet with Aiden eyes who's give a glare to her, Vallenteen gulping her saliva hardly and than look away.

"oh no need to take it seriously, Vallenteen just, being a little rude, she always like that to everyone thought" said Emelly who sit not far way from Rosa

" but, Aiden.... I can't believe you married a commoner" said Davin, Aiden Uncle

" oh, come Dav.. don't being to rude... it suits him you know " said Thony, Aiden other uncle

" both of you! stop it! Aiden is better than son of both of you! " said Albert, the oldest of Aiden Uncle

"you don't need said it, uncle.... Rhenvi and Jheil is more talented than me" said Aiden

" You don't have to be that low, Aiden.” said Savaela Aiden aunt " my husband was right though "

"Savaela, don't make things even worse" said Harley "and no one gonna say something nonsense again! it's was a family dinner shows your manner!! you all not a five year old kids! "

" yes mother "

"yes grandma"

said them in one time. than the dinner ends with suck amotpers. Any of them fast leave the mansion with every suck reason, but Harley told Aiden to stay the night with Rosa in the mansion, and Aiden can't refuse his grandma will. than Aiden having no choice but to share the room with Rosa.

" you can go first, I still having a business "

Rosa just nodded than walk away straight to the bathroom to wash away.

A little issue

The next day

Rosa and Aiden have said goodbye to Harley, Aiden goes straight to the city's military headquarters while Rosa goes to their mansion. There was no conversation between the two of them, no exchange of greetings at all.

 When Rosa arrived at the mansion, she immediately chose to walk to the room, change her clothes to a more casual one and then head to the Green hall, which is right behind the mansion.

Rosa spent time, by reading a book, accompanied by warm tea and some snacks. The calm atmosphere managed to relax his already raging mind. Especially the memory of the great tragedy that happened 10 years ago.

15 minutes of reading, his attention was distracted by the ringing of a mobile phone with Jordan's number printed on the screen. Curious as to what the man wanted to talk about, Rosa calmly answered the call.

“Hello, sir, what is it?

" ros, Are you at home at the moment? “

" yes, I was, did you need something? "

" are you busy right now? "

"no at all"

" can we meet? there's a little issue that must be done"

" sure, where you want to meet? "

" I was on my way to go there, just wait in 5 minutes again "

"okey I gonna make the maid know"

" very well"

The call ended, Rosa immediately grabbed the phone to call the services and inform Jordan of Jordan's arrival, she requested that when the man came, the servants could take him to the green hall.

Not so long ago a ministry came with a man, none other than Jordan.

"How's everything go? " said Jordan after the maid go

"nothing special" said Rosa

a maid came and served a tea for Rosa and Jordan.

" so what bring you here? "

" Rosa.... I know it's can't take you step in but..... "

"are you taking about revenge? "

Jordan silent, he not saying anything for a moment, Rosa sigh and nodded slowly, she understand what Jordan mean by his silent.

"you know, rule is a rule Jordan, and it's can't be break, seek a revenge is a taboo thing in my family rule"

" I understand, what I wish for is not it even in everyone eyes it's just same"

" than say it clearly, what you wish for me to do? "

Jordan sighed in "I wish you were **********”

Hearing that Rosa was silent for a moment, “What is your reason for asking for such a thing and why should I do it? “

" Rosa, the things is, **********”

again Rosa shut her lips hearing the word that out from Jordan mouth, she sigh and than look away " I going think about it, and for the truth, Jordan.... I already know who is she before everything has happen "

"sis that so?, that mean just Aiden and the 2 idiot that who don't know huh"

" hmm... they have their own path to live Jordan" said Rosa while take a little sip of her tea

"everyone have right"

"you know it better than anyone else"

...❅❅❅...

"where is Jordan ? " ask Mike

" he say he's having a important business " said Marco

" hm? what business? "

Tak!

One punch from a file greets Mike's head from behind

"Don't just take care of other people's business, Jordan has a lot of work to do, he's an intelligence officer as well as the city's military chief, of course he won't be here as much as you.” said the person that none other than Prayunda

" Could you be softer on you,pra? “ said Mike with annoy gaze

"it's not home" said Prayunda coldly

" ugh"

" just bare it Mike " said Marco " Btw..... Prayunda what that you hold? "

" a file you blind " said Mike

" I ask Prayunda you dumbass" said Marco

" he not wrong though " said Prayunda, and Mike laugh hard

"cih! you damn couple" said Marco "what file?"

" just a little issue, that so bothers for us "said Prayunda

" what issue " ask Mike

" the tragedy.... 10 years ago " said Prayunda

"ugh.... what now? did something happen so pull back the pain? " said Marco

"just find the issue behind the real culprits of the terrorise" said Prayunda

"huh? what is it?" Marco

Prayunda looked at the two alternately for a moment, then smiled wryly as she said, “Calleva was not the culprit, they didn't even intervene in the incident, they even posed as victims”

Mike and Marco fell silent, surprised to hear the statement spoken by Prayunda.eventually they was near not believe with the things that they just hear.
