Tangled threads

Rose cried and fell asleep on the floor. She did not know how much time she slept. There was a knock on the door. She opened her heavy eyelids and said, "Who is there?" "You have to come out. Grand master is asking for you," a male voice said. Rose remembered him telling her about Ash not being the culprit. So he must know about the whole truth. She got up and opened the door. She said, "Let's go." They got downstairs. Rose saw John was sitting at a dinner table. She went near him. He smiled and said, "Come. Sit with me and have some dinner." Rose nodded. She sat on the opposite side of John. John signaled one maid to serve. And she started to serve. For appetizers, they have mushroom soup. And for the main course, they have rice, deep fish fry, and beefsteak. And for dessert, they have lava cake. But Rose didn't eat anything. She was moving her spoon on the soup bowl. John saw it and asked, "Is it not to your liking?" Rose nodded her hand and said, "It is good, but I don't have an appetite." "Because of Ash?" John queried. Rose nodded. She asked, "What do you mean by saying that Ash was not there. Then who was there that night." John looked at Rose. He cleaned his face with napkins and put it down. Rose was watching his every movement. Then he continued. The day before your eighteenth birthday, Alina was planning to set you up. Therefore, she booked the hotel room. She planned to use you and Leo." Rose was shocked. So it was Leo that day. But what about the tattoo? John continued, “She booked the hotel room 1112, which was beside room 1111. She called Leo and planned to drug him. And she also put drugs on your drinks. And send you to that room. But here is the twist. I came to learn about Alina's plan. So I modified it a little. At that time, I thought of you like Kim's daughter. So I wanted to take revenge on you. I told Leo about Alina's plan. Moreover, we made a plan. We let Alina drug you and sent you to a hotel. But we changed the room. And move you to 1111. In addition, I made Ash's client come late. I know that Ash hates it when he has to wait. Therefore, he left the room. I got the duplicate keys and made Leo enter the room. Also, I made sure Leo has the same tattoo as Ash. The room was dark, so you will not be able to differentiate who is who. And that's how you came to think that that was Ash.

Moreover, I changed the CCTV footage. I changed the timing of when Ash came out of the room. And erase the footage when Leo entered the room. I also sent the USB to Alina to give it to you. And also, I gave you the message to check the footage of the hotel. And that's how you came to know about Levi. Tell me; haven't I made a great plan?"

Rose was shocked. He made a detailed plan. Nothing skipped from him. He made sure Alina thought her plan succeeded, and he targeted three people in one move.

"Why didn't you send me the footage earlier? When you knew that your plan succeeded." "Because I came to know that you are my daughter. And you are hurt beyond repair. Therefore, I thought you were not useful. And I couldn't slander Ash with fake footage."

"Then why now? Why did you use it?" Rose asked in a shaky voice. She was angry to fall for his trap. Nevertheless, could not blame her because anyone in her position would have believed his lie. So many witnesses were there to point to Ash. So she was forced to accept the lie.

"I didn't plan to use you. But when you came to Ash's life, and I saw that Ash started to believe you, iI thought to make my move. I got lots of help from others. Especially Levi. He helped me to seal the coffin of Ash. There are variable constants in this plan, but everything happened as I planned. I knew you would take revenge, so I made you believe in lies. And Ash would not stop you as he was madly in love with you. And let you kill him. So, after all planning and plotting, I succeeded. Ash is no more." He laughed. His laughter pierced Rose's chest. She wanted to shout at him.

Worst of all, she tried to kill him. He deserved to die. How could he make one person kill another? She wanted to kill everyone. She lost her rationality and moved towards him. He must have been ready for this attack. So he dodged her and hit her neck. Soon she fell to the ground. She wanted to attack again. When more people came and pushed her to the floor. She tried to break free from their hold. But they didn't let her. John bent down and said, "Dear, you should not attack like that. I am your father." Rose looked at him and said, "No, you can't be my father. You are a monster." "Dear, you hurt me." "I helped you get out of the marriage with Edward, and for that, I took help from you with Ash. So how could you say that to me?" Rose thought that day Edward was telling that he loved someone. And it was not Bella. So who was it?

Rose asked, "Who was it that Edward loved?" John said, "I guess you are smart enough to know the answer."

Yes, he is right. Rose has a hunched. She said, "Alina?" John smiled and said, "Yes, you proved that you are my girl. It was Alina. She was jealous of you. You were getting married to Edward, so she did that." Rose understood the whole situation. All the thread that tangled was untangled. Alina, Leo, and John made the plan to destroy Rose alive. And they did. They succeeded in breaking Rose. Rose was not sad for herself. She thought she deserved it for trusting the wrong person. But she was sorry for Ash. Due to their conspiracy, he lost his life. No, Rose still believed that Ash was alive. She had that unknown confidence that he was alive. But she was not sure. So she prayed to God to punish her for her wrongdoings. However, made Ash alive. She prayed as this is the only thing she could do.

Do you think Rose's prayer will be heard? Will Ash be all right? Or will he die in Rose's hand? What would you do in the Rose situation? Would you believe all the evidence, or would you believe in your love?
