Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Chapter 168 - Rose's Departure

Rose has really gone. She has made it clear that she did not want to be a part of their family any longer because they did not trust her.

"I will have her adoption cancelled. She asked for it," Justin said before walking out of the room whose owner was gone. Justin was reminded of the life his father had to live as an adopted son of the Whitfred family. He could never forget all the humiliation he was made to go through. He saw it all but he still did the same thing to his own adopted daughter.

It made him fell like a monster but no matter how he tried, he could not bring himself to love those girls the same way he loved his late daughter and he was not even making any effort to love them. The material things he provided for them was enough after all they would not have the opportunity to enjoy the luxury he provided for them as their multi-billionaire adopted father.

This was the first time he felt bad over anything concerning his adopted daughters perhaps because he was reminded of his father but he was still not pleased by Rose's reaction. His father has been humiliated over and over again but he never considered running away like Rose did and that was why he got to enjoy the life of luxury that was connected to being a distant member of the royal family.

That was something not everyone is opportune to enjoy although all those luxury made him lose his mother who could not endure it all. Rose was lucky but she threw away her golden card. She might return on her knees when she finds it hard to survive without the luxury. If she ever returns, he promised himself that he will not falter. He was going to make everything official so she won't have any place in their family again.

Anna sighed. It was all confirmed and sealed. Rose was not her sister anymore and it will be almost impossible to have Justin consider letting her come back even if Rose returns saying she was sorry and only left in an angry fit. She went to her room and rested her back on the door of her room when she closed the door.

Warm tears streamed down her cheeks as she came to realization what just happened. Looking around her room, she noticed almost everything was connected to Rose. She was reminded of the times the spent together. It was priceless. If Rose had not come to their family, she might have never woken up from the coma that had trapped.

She could not hold back the guilt that gripped her. It was very suffocating. She wished she had not being as tough as she was and at least believed Rose. Since Rose left, she was actually slowing coming to realization that Rose might have not done it. The more she thought of it, the more it made her certain that Rose did not send the video.

She further pressed her back against the door as more tears escaped from her cheeks down. She did not bother to wipe them off. It was not her fault Rose got sent out but it was the fault of the culprit, the person who sent to video to the university. She felt so weak; it was as though her legs could not carry anymore as she slides down to the floor.

Valerie called Mara to the third floor as soon as she got there. "I want you to follow Rose. Take her to wherever she wants to go and give her this," Valerie said when Mara walked into her study. She stretched a brown envelope of money to her.

Mara accepted her new task before heading out. She actually saw Rose walking out of the house towards the gate but because she was busy with something else, she had no option but to ignore Rose and continued what she had to do.

After driving slowly for a while, she saw Rose walking behind the first row of trees on the way. She horned and packed beside the road. "Rose!" she called out to Rose.

She noticed Rose stopping but Rose did not answer. She was very cautious as she looked at the car from behind a tree. She looked like a cute child playing 'hide and seek'.

She was forced to come out of her car. She walked towards Rose who also walked out from behind the tree and walked towards her. "I am sorry I scared you," she apologized sincerely although she was not sure if Rose was really scared.

"No, I am okay," Rose replied frankly. She was really not scared at all. She recognized the car immediately as the car her ex-foster father gave Mara as a gift for being their butler with a good reputation, hardworking and trustworthy.

"I will give you a ride," Mara offered with an inviting smile.

"Sure. I was tired of walking. Are you busy at home?" Rose asked when she followed her to her car.

"No, I am not. Your mum asked me to bring you to wherever you want to go. I am not much of a gossip monger but I am curious about what happened. Why did you leave home all alone? Don't you know it is risky to walk on the road alone?" Mara had to ask although from where she noticed Rose was walking, she knew Rose was aware and was cautious.

"She is not my mum any longer as you know. She sent me out of the house because I did not admit to committing a crime I was not guilty of," Rose said unrestrained because she knew Mara will take it all back to Valerie and that will be the best since she had no intention of returning.

"She was not serious about it at all. Valerie has a little problem controlling her emotions and it all started when she lost her first child. She has not gotten over it all although Anna has been of great help since Anna looks a little like her late daughter. I am sure she did not mean what she said and she is going sometime with her therapist for the following weeks," Mara narrated to her.

"I don't think I believe you, Mara," Rose told her truthfully. "You did not witness what just happened and you also did not experience it firsthand."

"I know but if she is not sorry, she would have not asked me to pick you up. She also sent me to give you this," Mara said as she lifted the brown envelope and passed it to Rose.

"I don't need their money. I am thinking of how to pay back all I owe them. I don't want to add to my debt," Rose told her seriously. She took the envelope from her but placed it on the brown dashboard.

"I know you are hurt but that does not mean you have to leave in such a manner. You . . ."

"Mara you know this issue is not public right?" Rose asked looking at Mara.

"Yes, I know it is not public."

"Do you know what will happen if something else happens that go public? It will ruin my reputation. It will make me lose all I have tried building up for all these years. I know they made most of it possible but I will never let them do such a thing to me again. Do you know what it means to be tagged as the orphan who was grateful and tried to ruin her sister because of jealousy? I bet you don't know."

"What about Anna?" Mara had to ask.

"She did not trust either and she did not speak for me when I got asked to leave. She did not trust me. I doubt if she ever trusted me. This must be a very pleasing revenge for her. I am gone now and she must be satisfied with the result. I was accused but I took it all. I had no intention of leaving. I was trying to come up with evidence to proof my innocence but before I could use my plan, they asked me to leave.

"Did they expect me to beg pathetically and confess to a crime I did not commit?  I will never beg when I am not at wrong. If I begged then imagine how miserable my life would have become in that house. I won't feel comfortable because I will simply become someone they just kept around, like a charity case," Rose explained her displeasure. "I have forgiven them because I know it is not their fault but I can never stay with people who don't trust me or want me around."

Mara could only sigh. It appeared that she won't be able to persuade Rose to go back. "So, where are you going to now?" Mara asked as she looked a head.

Now, Rose had to rake through her brain for someone she could possibly go to since Liam was out of reach. "I . . .. my best friend left the state and I don't think he will be back anytime soon so, I am not sure of anyone I could go to."
