Previously on black Rose

He finished and the lights dimmed and a spotlight was at the entrance and the doors opened

And click of heels.......

Rose's P.O.V

"Ma'am it's time to leave"

On of the men from security time said I nodded and got up the girls checked my dress and opened the door i went in the hallway to the entrance of the main hall i can hear dad's voice as i stood in front of the door the door opened I looked around and saw the lights were dim I stepped in my heels clicking on the marble making noise that echo through the big hall because there was pin drop silence and the spotlight flashed on me

Dark's P.O.V

As soon as the speech was over the lights were dimmed and we all turned around to see her I can easily see her because I was seated in the very first row

The spotlight suddenly came on her clicking her heels on the white marble she walked

First her green heels came into my view then my eyes moved up she was walking elegantly like a perfect lady you can say like a poised queen her body was of a Greek goddess Aphrodite her pale skin was shining the necklace on her neck was the the Arterbery's token of love that was last seen 10 years back, her walk only can define her that she is Arterbery's princess her face

HER FACE....

It was covered with a peacock feather mask (pic in pervious chapter)
Why she is hiding her face man

She elegantly held the stick of mask in her hand as she walked past me the familiar fragrance of roses hit me and a wave of deja vu hit me too

Rayn helped her on the stairs of stage and she came and stood in center the dim light were bright a little enough to make the faces of others but not fully

She took the Mike from her dad's secretary and smiled before speaking

"Ladies and Gentlemen it's nice to see you all once again"

That voice hit me like a astronaut

She slowly removed that mask revealing her beautiful face

Rose

ROSE

OH MY FUCKING GOD ROSE

MY ROSE

she smiled

Rose's P.O.V

I slowly lowered my hand removing my mask I and I looked down at all of them gasps flew in the hall I first saw Dark in utter shock then I saw his mom she was gaping like a fish and Samantha who was sitting in the 4th row table was shocked her face was red I smiled and began to speak again

"I think many of you had already recognized me because I was living with all of you with the name Rose Parker I hope you all are happy to know that I am Rose Jade Arterbery I am thankful that you all came on my birthday to celebrate my coming back and the success of our company"

Everyone applauded and dad came to me and said

"Now I would like to introduce my younger daughter Bella Rose Arterbery"

Everyone was shocked and surprised that there are two Arterbery princesses everyone smiled when they saw Bella even though some were fake
I smiled at her then dad came and two waiter came up and gave champagne to everyone and then us

"Ladies and Gentlemen please I would to like to toast at the coming back of Rose Arterbery"

Everyone did the toast and I slowly sipped on my champagne and everyone stepped down the stage with Nick's help as my dress can make me fall then many businessmen and there wives and many more people came to meet me and congratulate

Then came Mr. Williamson the one I am waiting for so with his wife and daughter who was caked in makeup I gave a big smile and then he extended his hand and I took it and then did the same with his wife

"Nice to meet you Ms. Arterbery after such a long wait"
He said and I smiled

"Likewise Mr. Williamson"

"Meet my daughter Samantha"

He gustered towards her and she gave a big fake smile and I nodded and then said

"Mr. Williamson I already know her I am in her college too-

I took a pause and he looked amused

-as in I would like to say Ms. Williamson needs to learn to respect her fellow students"

She was shocked

"But I don't think she will be now"

I gave her a smirk and excused myself from the corner of my eyes I saw her dad scolding her and her mom fuming I just chucked

Then i found Mr. And Mrs. Mathew I went to them and saw Alicia was skulking

"Hello Mr. Matthew and Mrs. Mathew"

I emphasize on Mrs. Mathew

Mr.Mathew smiled at me and Alicia just nodded

"I am glad you both came specially you Mrs. Mathew"

Mr. Matthew have a glint of playfulness in his eyes and he just smiled

"Yeah Congratulations"

She smiled a fake one

"Happy birthday Rose"

Mr. Matthew said

"Thank you Alex"

"Umm. Were is Dark"
I asked

"I just saw him going outside in the garden"

I nodded and walked towards the garden I saw a figure sitting in the bench I slowly went to him and sat beside on the bench on sensing my presence he turned around and he looked a bit surprised 

I thought he did be happy that I am Arterbery but I don't think so

"Rose what are you doing here"

"I am sitting with my boyfriend do you have any problem"

I said in a teasing manner to lighten the tension in the air

"I don't think you are my girlfriend"

I snapped my head to him

Dark's P.O.V

"I don't think you are my girlfriend"

I said with the sadness in my heart she snapped her head towards me and was looked shocked

"Why in the hell do you think that"

She yelled at me I was surprised

"I don't think you did like to be in relationship with me after all those guys of much for richer businessmen hitting on you, lining for you"

I said with bitterness

Man I really love her I am feeling my heart broken

"What the bloody fuck Dark how can you even think like that"

She yelled as a tear slipped from her eyes that's when I noticed that her eyes are filled with unshed tears

"How can you think I will choose any other man when I have you when I fucking Love you"

She whispere-yelled

I was shocked when she said she loved me

"Y-you love me?"

I asked her

She let out a laugh and took a sip of her wine then looked in front and spoke

"Dark you may not remember 13 years back when I was just 7 years old you came in my birthday party you was always cold at that time and I was a ball of fire at that time breaking rules and all that day I still remember you looked so cute in that black shirt with fire print in center
I came to you and asked you to be my friend you didn't agree I forced you and then we pranked Alicia because you said you hate her, after that we become friends and you and I fell in love at that innocent age and you promised you will marry me when we grew up"

I was shocked to know that she remember every single detail

"You remember all that"

She nodded and placed her hand on my shoulder before pulling me to her my face was inches apart her and she said

"How can you break your  promise"

I smiled and pecked her lips and said

"I remember how you looked like an angel in that white dress and big feathers but I knew you was a devil at heart I remember my promise but I just thought you won't want me anymore"

I said and she pulled me to her and kissed me really hard

Man this is the first time a woman is punishing me like this

When she pulled away she said

"Dare to say that again I will torture you to death"

She said in a stern tone and got up

"Let's go idiot we have to go in the party before some bloody paparazzi click our pics"
I nodded and be went in everyone was on the dance floor we went to the center and All of me by John Legend started playing we dance slowly together I looked down at her, her head was on my shoulder and she mumbled

"I love you Dark I always did"

"I love you too Rose more than you can imagine"

I can feel her smile we danced and danced we were in our own trance but it broke when we heard clapping sound around us Rose looked up and saw the song had stopped and we were the only when dancing I just smiled and she smiled at me we slowly made our was and sat on our seats

"That dance was amazing Rose"

Sofia came from behind and Rose just shrugged but smiled

After sometime her dad came on the stage and announced

"Dear all I want to announce that after Rose's graduation she will work full time as the Vice President of Arterbery's and will hire the company next year"

Everyone clapped and congratulated Her

After sometime Rose whispered in my ear

"Let's get out of here there fake smile are driving me crazy"

I just shook my head and we started making our way to the backside of the hall and we were out of there I saw a black limousine was parked and four black SUVs were also there

"Ma'am"

The men in black nodded at her and she said

"Max I am leaving tell dad"

He nodded and opened the door of limo and we sat in

"Alex to the penthouse"

The driver nodded and I looked at her and asked

"So you live in penthouse"

"Yeah the one I buyed with my salary working as the Director of Human resource development at my dad's office"

"So you don't get pocket money"
I asked

"I have billions in my account by work for last 5 years I don't need even if dad gives me"

I nodded

"So you really did hardwork and didn't played the daddy's princess"

She laughed like music and said

"I am still dad's princess"

I just smiled

She was a pit sleepy so she put her head on my shoulder and she was sleeping
