Please Keep Your Boundary

"It's hurt!" Rose's voice rang clearly to his ears. Jude quickened his steps. Rose jerked her hand from Devon's hurtful grip.

"Let me go!" Devon who was not satisfied with the way she reacted towards him, grabbed her shoulders and pushed her against the tree before forcefully kissed her. Rose was struggling to release herself from his grips and kisses that her shoulders and arms were stung with pains.

When she found her opportunity to inflict pain towards his abdomen, Devon was thrown on the ground all of sudden by a forceful punch.

Rose was momentarily stunned. She glanced to her side, there she saw Jude with his murderous aura. It was a fearful sight but somehow she found solace in it.

"Mr Devon Luke. You should know your boundaries!" Jude sternly uttered his words to Devon's face. Devon wiped the bloodstains on the corner of his lips and smirked.

"Well... Well... Well... Look at you. Talking about boundaries and what's not," Devon sarcastically replied him. Jude scoffed.

"You seemed don't really know me, do you? Or should I remind you about a scene back in September 2017? The way someone punched you to the pulp. Well, I don't mind if you want to have yet another taste of it," Jude casually reminded him about a scene that he wanted to forget so badly!

Damn! Was it Jude? He didn't have any recollection about the person who punched him into a pulped that year. He even stayed at home for the whole three months! He cursed inwardly.

" This matter is between Rose and I. You, the outsider has nothing to do with it!" he roared. Jude squinted his eyes with the murderous intent.

"Your matter with her is over. There's nothing to talk about." Jude simply denied him the chance to talk to Rose. Devon clenched his fist and without warning, he charged towards Jude. But before his fist could land on Jude's rib, his fist was deflected by a fair hand. Both men were stunned.

Without thinking much for the fact that she wore a dress, Rose raised her right foot and executed a perfect sidekick and kicked Devon to the ground. It was not exaggerated to say that she could execute the movement in an elegant poise.

Not too far, a group of people was speechless while watching the scene in front of them. Jeremy was excited to see how his lady boss sent a flying kick the man. Gosh! This is awesome! He never thought his lady boss was quite a woman.

"I never knew our boss knows how to kick people! It's amazing!" Ellie was squealing excitedly while Stephanie and Leah looked on.

"She's incredible. Unfortunately, her life is not all sweet and comfort. Such a pity,"

"What do you mean?" the other three looked at Leah with curiosity.

"Devon, I told you before. We are over. There's nothing to talk." Rose stated in a matter-of-factly manner.

"Rose, you will regret this if you choose him over me! Don't you know he has so many flings out there? Don't you worry that he might treat you like he treats other women out there? Think of it, Rose!" Devon was so desperate to pull Rose towards him and leave Jude.

Rose gently pinched her forehead before she sighed. This was crazy.

" Today is George's funeral service. I don't wish to have any troubles or arguments." she paused a while then looked at the two men before her while taking a deep breath.

"Anyway, stop misunderstanding about the relationship between Mr Jude and I. He is someone I can look for when I have some problem, but definitely not a romantic relationship. I don't wish to have any relationship at the moment. Hope both of you understand." then she stomped her feet in frustration and began walked away from the two crazy men.

They are crazy! All of them are crazy! For God's sake! It was a funeral service day for her brother George today! Why should they argue about some petty matters?! This is so frustrating! Annoying! A damnation! God! Rose was practically screaming in her head that she walked past others without care the direction she went. And she even didn't hear someone call her name for million times! Honestly, she was occupied with her thoughts.

I need to go somewhere. Somewhere far... Far... Far away... Somewhere where I could forget all of this...

Rose quickly made a call to her father and informed him that she won't be at home for a moment. She needed to be going somewhere. She was fortunate that her parents understood her needs to be alone in this situation.

Jude quickly chased after her and once he kept up with her steps, he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arm. He could see it clearly that she had some unspeakable desire when she said his name. It was as if calling him to come closer to her, though she was denying it deep down in her heart.

Rose who was being suddenly pulled into Jude's arms slumped her shoulder in defeat. She had no control over her heart though she knew she needed to gather herself for the upcoming days and of course, her future.

"Jude..." she slowly called his name. It sounded sweet to his ears that made them feel itchy all of sudden.

"I can't breathe..." her voice was muffled as she was practically crashed into his chest earlier. A tiny of pinkish blush crept onto her cheeks as Jude put a fair gap between the two of them.

"Sorry." he apologised while scratching his unitchy head.

"Thank you for everything Jude. I don't know how to thank you for all that you have done." Rose bowed her head slightly.

Jude held her hands and gently squeezed them.

"You don't have to thank me. It's my honour to help you in the way I could help." he smiled reassuring her.

"Do you want me to send you back?" Rose shook her head.

"I need to be alone." she simply rejected his offer to send her back.

Nah... I want to be alone. Alone! No disturbance!!!

"Seriously? In this mood?"

"Jude... I am serious. I want to be off alone. I'll call you when I'm drunk," at the same time she finished her lines, a driver drove her Bugatti Veyron and she swiftly slipped inside the driver's seat and drove off, leaving dust behind.

Jude was speechless. This was the first time people stood him up. And he never expected in a millionth times that someone he loved would stand him up in the lifetime. This is totally absurd!

Wait, did she say she will call when she drunk? What does she mean by that? God... Seriously?! Drunk?
