Not a happy ending

Rose couldn't hide her annoyance that William had managed to monopolize her and was now taking her to nowhere.

Rose really wanted to ask William where exactly they were going but Rose was too proud to just ask.

While William was busy playing with his tablet screen, I don't know what he saw, which Rose didn't want to see and chose to sit away from William.

"Instead of just looking at me you better take a shower and then we can eat," William said without looking up.

"Who's looking at you?" Rose dodged curtly, she didn't openly look at William, more precisely, occasionally seeing him, of course, feeling annoyed and curious at the same time.

"Tell me where are you going to kidnap me? I warned my parents not to stand still because I suddenly disappeared!" Rose said, she purposely disguised her question by being slightly threatening.

"Even to the ends of the world, if you go with me then they will never look for you," William said calmly.

Even William knew that her parents didn't care about him and Rose stupidly still hoped that they would look for her.

Rose's sadness came back, she wanted to cry again now.

"Rayhan, he's the only one who cares about me," Rose mumbled softly, her heart ached again when she remembered how she had rejected Rayhan's proposal at the concert earlier.

What would have happened if she had never rejected Rayhan? If she could have recognized Rayhan's voice instead of being influenced by her baseless thoughts just because of the 'Rosie' call, just because she was so afraid that William would mess up their plan that he ended up destroying the plan herself.

"You like wearing that sexy dress to tease me huh?" William said again as he turned his head and deliberately gave a look as if he was already tempted to see Rose wearing a short silver dress and also tightly following the curves of her body that she wore at her concert earlier.

"That's good! Why would I tease you." shrieked Rose didn't accept.

"Then take a shower."

"If I take a shower then what do I want to wear?"

"My clothes."

Rose gasped at William's answer, she then imagined about the girls in romantic films who always wore their lover's shirt or T-shirt after they made love.

Was William planning to do it?

Rose immediately shrank back while crossing her arms over her chest and looking at William suspiciously.

"Don't mess with me! I really have a black belt in taekwondo, so don't expect you to be able to do things to me!" Rose stammered, that reason again, even though it was clear that she didn't have any martial arts skills at all.

William was of course confused by Rose's current overreaction until he finally understood and couldn't help but laugh.

"You're so cute," William said as he kissed her cheek softly.

"I mean, the clothes I bought weren't the clothes I'm wearing now, honey." He said amused.

Rose's face then turned red, she felt ashamed of her own dirty thoughts.

"Hurry up and take a shower, or I'll pick you up and take you to bathe with me." Threatened William teasingly.

Without needing to think anymore, Rose immediately got up and went to the room shown by the flight attendant who came after William called her a moment ago.

"She's so adorable," William muttered again who still couldn't keep his smile off.

"You look very happy with her, sir." Said Lucy who suddenly came and sat not far from William.

William's smile slowly faded, and he put on a cold face again.

"I just wanted to remind you if you have Miss Gwen." Say her again.

William sighed heavily, Gwen again burdened his mind, all of which made the pleasure in his heart disappear instantly.

"It's not in your capacity to comment on my private life," William said angrily.

"Just make sure that Gwen never finds out about all this or I'll finish you off." William continued threateningly.

The look in William's eyes made Lucy look down in fear and finally chose to leave William even though she was not happy.

...

Rose had finished bathing, currently, she was busy zipping the peach-colored dress below the knee that she found on the bed.

A beautiful, graceful dress, fit her body perfectly but she couldn't reach the rest of the zipper she hadn't lifted so it made the stairs feel sore from trying to reach for it.

"You are very beautiful." Whispered William.

Rose couldn't help but stare, William came unnoticed and was now pulling up a zipper that she couldn't reach before.

William had finished tying Rose's dress and rearranging Rose's long hair back after Rose had put it aside.

William didn't move away, he was still standing behind Rose's body and staring at Rose's reflection in the big mirror in front of them.

Rose's face is very beautiful, looks cute and adorable at the same time alluring even though Rose doesn't wear makeup on her face and her eyes are puffy and puffy.

Without needing to ask, William already knew if Rose had been crying again.

William can understand, that all this must not be easy for Rose but this is her destiny, the universe makes them both bound.

"Let's eat, we still have a long way to go." Bring William.

"I'm not hungry," Rose answered as she moved away from William and sat on the edge of the bed.

"I want to be alone." she continued without looking at William's face.

William took a deep breath of rice before finally replying, "Alright, get some rest. You must be tired." Said William who immediately walked out leaving Rose alone.

After William completely left her alone, Rose could only cry again. She couldn't hold back her tears and wept over her relationship with Rayhan, which was a mess because of her own fault.

Rose can't accept that she has to marry another man besides Rayhan.

Her heart was broken, shattered out of shape, there was nothing he could feel but pain and a suffocating pain in his chest.

"Like a romantic drama story with a happy ending." That's what Rose called her relationship with Rayhan back then but some stories have to end sadly.

Rose gets a sad ending with Rayhan.

Even though he was sobbing, the pain wouldn't go away, the suffocating pain in his chest was choking him even more.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Rose couldn't help but mutter while crying.

Her face was red, her tears were flowing uncontrollably.

Many times she tried to hold back her tears but her efforts always ended with a louder cry, the pain getting worse.

Why didn't God allow them to be together when Rose only felt Rayhan was the only man in her life who could make her happy even her own father didn't pay attention to her as much as Rayhan cared about her.

In the past, they only had each other and now they parted ways, and what made Rose hate this situation was that she was the cause of this separation.

She couldn't stop lamenting her stupidity and at the same time feeling the growing pain in her heart.

Hearing Rose's sobs behind her room, William could only grit his teeth. Withstanding the onslaught of guilt and displeasure.

What's so bad about him? Why is Rose so tormented by this marriage?

"You're really scary!" William could still hear it, Rose's voice so angry with him. The hate-filled eyes that had looked at him earlier.

"Do I really look like a monster?"
