Veneration Of Love.
The papers are full of whispers about Rose Amber. They say she's involved with a notorious gangster. They are also in every alley. They are scandalous and spread with sensation. The headlines scream of 'secret meetings in the shady corners.' They paint a picture of 'forbidden love amid danger and intrigue.'' The media can turn nothing to something.
Rose Amber is a beautiful young lady of age 28 and the only daughter of the Amber family. Her mother is Catherine, and her father is Leo Amber, also has an elder brother Jack Amber. Both her mother and father have shown great love for her. Leo Amber is an outstanding businessman and has been in the business field for almost 30 years. After the wedding of both Mr. and Mrs. Amber, they named the jewelry company "YONU." Everyone knows the formidable industry. Both have great knowledge and are also great designers. They are 48–50 years old. They wanted to build a separate business. Both can invest their hard work for their children. Her older brother, Jack Amber, is also handsome and refined. He is 31 years old and has the bearing of elites. He is a neuroscientist by profession.
Regardless of the powerful family Rose Amber has faced tragic death. The world says that Amber's entire family's reputation rests on the soil. But, in fact, to be more precise, she only ruined her reputation. For every interview on the news channel and other shows, the talks focused on Rose. To think this way Ambers were not related to her. They ruined Rose Amber's reputation. Accusers accused her of having an affair with a man, taking drugs, and bullying. She was also accused of lacking education, etiquette, and noble behavior. That was it before. Few can see how they tossed and turned Rose with no mercy. Yet she still roamed around them like a fool. She is a fool.
Now, everything has turned into something major. Orlenna is a beautiful city in the East. The "Rose Amber" used to be the most popular upper class person since birth. But, news of her death has now erupted. The scene of Boyle crying spread all over the media. Her delicate features expressed clear agony. They left all the media sympathizing with her. After a few more minutes the comment section flooded for her. Few expressed doubts but the majority suppressed them.
It didn't seem like someone had died but more like someone had wronged Boyle.
Someone changed the whole scenario.
The media were asking questions about her death. They are inquiring about how and when she died. Most of them were sure that she died unable to manage her face. This was after the news broke out about her affair with those indecent men. Her idea of beauty is different. The world's idea of truth, which it imagines to be true, frames a different personality of her. No one particularly knows what is right and what is wrong, but they don't care about this. If they could find news about any person that grabs netizens' attention, then it's fine by them.
The mother and father of Rose appear at the airport with desperation on their faces. They seemed worried. Every piece of news related to Rose is now a hot topic. Even if her parents were not present the media would have questioned them later. Such a thing is not uncommon in human life. For a long time, reporters crowded the gates of Amber Villa and didn't move even an inch. They were trying their best to find something to report.
Although the outside is very chaotic, the inside of the mansion is calm. Right now, Amber's mansion is large and full of expensive crystal furnishings. The situation there is very weird. The entire hall stands empty, with not a single person casting a shadow. Yet, in the middle if anyone squinted their gaze a little, they could see a person on the floor. The face of the person is peerless. It seemed like a goddess descendent on the earth. Yet the shocking point is, the woman, in the middle, is Rose Amber. She is still alive. She is breathing, the movement of her shoulders indicated so. The lady whose news of death spread like fire all over the world is still alive. She is unconscious. Her skin pale and she looked sick. For a moment no movement occurred, and everything was still in the hall. A while later a sound of footsteps from the stairs resonated and they surrounded Rose. They began to scan her for a while but soon became anxious, the middle-aged lady asked, "What happened? Shouldn't she be awake by now? Don't tell me you people overdose on her by accident and she is already dead."
"How can it be? I didn't overdose with her." Boyle glanced at the body and scorned, "Yet she was already very weak and at the brink of death. Even a little higher amount could kill her. So, I don't know if she is dead or not." Her reply was nonchalant. She doesn't seem like the same person who in front of the media cried like a mad person. She scrolled through her phone with amusement. The comment section is displaying pity to her good heart saying 'how can Boyle be so good! Rose was not a good sister let alone be a better person. She doesn't even deserve an ounce of sadness. My goodness please don't cry for someone like Rose.' The crying emoji was limitless. After her others followed too. The netizens are showing concern for her. They are doing so instead of for the already announced dead Rose. Boyle fooled the fools and almost laughed aloud. It is so easy to manipulate these buffoons.
A middle-aged man added touching his short beards, "I don't care even if she is dead. She has no use for me. I thought she must have the papers with her but to think she rejected Leo in the past." He sighed and added with anger, "I can't believe that till now I was pouring my efforts in vain." Saying this his gaze turned solemn. He crossed his arms tapping his foot.
"One or two slaps will do." A young man smiled and said, as he stepped ahead and slapped Rose a few times to make her conscious. He stood there with his chin high like looking down at worms. Then with the kerchief he cleaned his hands. Felt repulsive.
Rose at due time felt the sensation and couldn't help opening her eyes with great difficulty. Describing beauty is never enough. But, the person looks very beautiful. She has a fair complexion, clear blue eyes, and golden hair. Sweat dampened it. She appeared too gorgeous. Her beautiful curves show the figure of seductiveness. One cannot help but glance at her a few more times to gain a clear understanding of her features. Regardless of her beautiful look, she is having a hard time. Confusion surrounded her face.
Right now, there are four people, a middle-aged couple and a young lady with a good-looking man. The middle-aged couple “Stanton Amber and Baty Amber” are the grandparents of Rose. Baty Amber is the step of the grandmother of Rose. Her real grandmother died early, and Stanton married Baty soon after that. The other girl is "Boyle Amber." She is the daughter of Amber's grandfather and grandmother. The man is the son of Adelson. Adelson is the friend of Stanton Amber, also known as "Danny Adelson."
Rose tried to stand up but collapsed with a thump. Without a doubt it must be painful, yet the lady didn't utter a single sound. It's as if she didn't notice. She kept falling due to dizziness. A while later she finally gave up trying and decided to observe her surroundings instead. She didn't talk the entire time. Her hands reached out searching for something to lean on but there is nothing around her. As if in confusion she tilted her head. She still thinks that it is her own room.
Rose felt frustrated. Her white slim hands clenched hard. Realizing that someone had drugged her made her shudder. This is not her first time facing this situation. But the situation is worse this time. No one will ever drug her at home. It is implausible that someone could drug her without her stepping out of the villa. Her grandparents will doubt her. This is hard to explain to others.
When she was fidgeting while thinking she raised her head to look around. Despite the blurriness of the view, she can discern each detail. For her whole life, they are the people she always lived with. She struggled to speak. She looked at the eldest of the four. She observed their features before finally uttering her words with great effort. She avoided making eye contact, “Granny, what are you doing here?"
Baty mused but didn't reply. Rose felt the others might have already known what happened. She explained, "Sorry, but listen to me. Someone mixed something in my food, causing me to pass out. Please help me up." Her voice is soft. She appeared victimized. After saying those words, she paused and looked up to them, there was hope in her eyes. She waited for help. Before this her grandmother always helped her up and cared for her. She will calm her and speak in a warm tone. Without any second thought this time is also the same.
Baty's face twisted with anger as she glared at Rose, her voice laced with frustration. "Rose you have shamed us. I cannot count how many times I've told you not to blame others for everything you do."
Rose puzzled while listening to her grandmother. The verbalism of Baty is cruel. Rose didn't believe what she heard. With uncertainty plastered on her face Rose again coaxed her, she bit her lips, "I know, I was wrong to not be on guard." She paused and added, "But I swear that I didn't take any drugs today."
Baty narrowed her eyes. The ironic expression smeared, "You always do whatever you want. You are not a child anymore! Rose, you should admit what you did was wrong. "Don't act as if someone wronged you." Despite Rose's confusion, the words' meaning is clear to her. Nonetheless, the shock surprises her.
Rose processed her every word again. She was at a loss for words as her grandmother's harsh words pierced her heart. Despite her addiction, Rose had always held responsibility for her actions. She never blamed others. For her grandmother to utter these words are not only unexpected but also suspicious. What does she mean by 'always'? Which incident is she talking about? Her grandmother's accusations left her angry. She felt confused and helpless, trapped in a situation where she can't defend herself. The weight of the moment hung in the air.
Rose repeated her plea. Her voice trembled with urgency. She frowned, "I swear, I didn't overdose. It was something in the food that caused me to faint. Please believe me." Her words carried a desperate tone, layered with a sense of pleading. She only ate her lunch and slept after that. How can someone drug her afterwards. She added, tightening her jaws. How can you blame me with no proof?" Her frustration simmered beneath her words. It was clear in the charged atmosphere.
Hearing her words, this time her grandfather's words landed with a tone. It bordered on the absurd. 'Rose!' He began, almost, "You ought to watch your tongue." He rolled his eyes. "Today you unwittingly overwhelmed yourself with an overdose, leading to fainting. No one can drug someone who is already addicted." He paused and added, "Boyle did a good act by rescuing you, yet you seem to overlook this kindness. You should thank her first."
As he finished, she turned to Boyle. Rose noticed Boyle wearing a grotesque expression. A mocking glint shimmered in her eyes. She wasn't looking up for this. Suddenly, it dawned on her- Boyle had advised her to add more salt before she'd eaten. With a rush of realization, Rose cried out, "Boyle did it! She tampered with my food. Granny, please, she was the one who told me...!"
"Enough!" Rose jerked back due to her sudden higher tone. Before this her granny never talked with her like this. It stunned her but she felt weird. Everything there looks, words and behaviors. They are not the same as before. Despite seeing her granddaughter becoming timid Baty added, "Rose, you've let me down."
"But I'm telling the truth!" She wanted to say more but something very peculiar caught her attention.
