Blackmail

Ash took Rose to his house. Ad saw Rose and got shocked. She knew about the shooting incident. Therefore, when she saw Ash was carrying Rose to his room, she could not keep her curiosity. She asked, "Master, is it, Rose?" Ash stopped and looked at Ad. Usually, she called Rose as madam but today she called her, Rose. He nodded and said, "from now on she will love here." "What? I mean, yes, master." And bowed. Ash went inside his room. The room where he had so many happy memories. The girl on his arm was the reason he had so many happy memories. Everywhere in this room has her scent. He could breathe into it. He looked at the girl, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms. Unaware of the storm that was coming towards her. Ash put Rose down. Then he got inside the washroom and opened the shower. The blood is pouring out of his wound. He cleaned it. Then he looked at the mirror and a flashback of today's incident came. He felt disgusted. But he knew he would do it if he was given a chance. He said, "She deserves it. Yes, Ash, you did not do anything wrong. Rose deserves it." But deep down his self-consciousness didn't stop him from feeling guilty. He took a deep breath and walked out. He came out from the washroom and saw Rose was sleeping. He went to the study room and called Roy. Roy picked up on the second ring. Ash said, "Where are you? Why did you not attend the party?" Roy remained silent. Ash sighed and said, "Are you angry with the plan?" Roy said, "Let’s meet." "Okay, meet me at blue lotus club." "Okay. I will be there in an hour." Roy said. Ash cut the call. He knew Roy did not like the plan. However, they would get benefits by keeping Rose near them. As she is the heiress of the east faction also the only weakness of John Aster. Ash got ready and went to meet with Roy.

Blue lotus is a club where high-class people meet. Roy’s family maintained it. Therefore, they knew Ash. When the manager heard Ash came. He personally came and greeted Ash. The manager said, "Welcome master. Your room is ready. Master Roy already notified of your arrival. Please, wait in the room. Do you need anything?" Ash just shook his head and went to the room. A girl came in and served him Red wine and peanuts. She asked in a seductive voice, "Master, do you need anything?" She bent down a little. It showed half of her breast. Ash must have admitted that this girl was beautiful but he had no interest. Therefore, he said, "Get out." The coldness in his voice was enough for the girl to run a mile. The girl left. Ash opened the wine bottle and poured it into the glass. He kept thinking about Rose. He knew he should not but he could not stop it. He gulped down the wine in one go. As soon as he put the glass down, Roy entered. He saw Ash and said, "Already started to drink." Roy sat down beside him. Ash poured another glass. Roy looked at him and said, "So your plan succeeded." Ash nodded. Roy said, "Should I say congratulations or should I say all the best." Ash took a sip and looked at the wine glass. Then he said, "Say congratulations for finally reaching our target. Now it's time to strike." Roy said, "Levi's wish was to forgive Rose." Hearing Levi's name Ash tightened his hold on the glass. He said, "Did you forget that Levi is no more?" "Yes, I remember. That is why I wanted to fulfill his wish. I don't want to cause any harm to her." Roy said. "Well, aren't you a nobleman? However, sadly I am not. So I will take revenge from her." Ash said. "But tell me, what did she do wrong?" Roy asked. Ash laughed. He said, "Are you asking me what she did?" Roy only looked at Ash. The old Ash was back. The one who took an eye for an eye. And now, Ash wanted Rose. Roy said, "If you are so angry, why not just kill her." Ash laughed and said, "What happened to everyone. First Rose asked to kill her, now you?" "What? She asked to kill her." Roy asked. "Yes. She even gave me the plan to make it by accident. Which was quite funny?" Roy said, "Something is wrong. Rose, I knew would never say that. What happened to her?" Ash remembered Rose's pale face and her thin body. However, shook his head. He thought it was all an act to gain sympathy. He said, "Nothing. She was just acting. And you know, she is great at it." Ash-" Roy wanted to say more. However, Ash raised his hand and asked, "Why did you want to meet? I am sure it is not required for Rose's condition. So what is it?"

Roy looked straight at Ash's eyes and said, "Tomorrow I am getting married." Ash was shocked beyond words. He said, "I thought I was the drunken one. Then why are you babbling nonsense?" "I am not," Roy said. Ash sighed. He said, "Who blackmails you? Tell me I will teach her a lesson." Roy laughed this time. He said, "Who will dare to blackmail me?" Ash nodded and said, "Yes. You are the most dangerous one." Roy smiled and said, "I am going to marry Bella." Ash frowned and asked, "Who is Bella?" Roy said, "Rose's step-sister." The wine glass fell to the ground and shattered into many pieces. Ash shouted, "Have you gone mad? Why would you marry her? I mean you barely know her. In addition, she was Edward's wife, for god sake. Who killed our brother? And you are going to marry her." Roy remained silent. Ash said, "Are you deaf? I am talking to you?" Roy nodded and said, "I know what I am doing." "Really?" Ash asked. "How do you justify your actions?" Ash added. Roy held both of his hands. Ash looked at it. Ash knew when Roy was nervous he did it. It was his habit to control his emotions. Ash touched his hand and said, "Look at me Roy." Roy looked at him. Ashe continued, "Why are you doing this? I know you are not mad. So tell me the reason so that I could understand. Why are you willing to marry a girl who was the wife of your brother's murderer, not only that but also Rose's sister. Tell me the reason." Roy said, "Bella was not only Edward's wife but also the lover of Levi." Ash became astonished and removed his hand from Roy's hand. He asked, “what?"
