Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

"Did you contact Jace like you said you will?" Rose asked Anna on their way to school the following day when she remembered how strange Jace was when she met him.

"I tried but I guess he was too busy to pick my call. I need a really hot and wealthy young master to hold unto if I want to save my pride. I need a distraction to prevent me from going back to him. I think I am getting really desperate these days. Like every day I see him, I feel I a stronger urge to apologize for being rude to him," Anna said sadly. "I think I should trying going on a blind date. I will have Wayne set me up with some handsome young master."

"Don't force yourself because you are scared you will apologize. You could simply wait. Our graduation is right at the corner and soon you won't have to see him and feel pressurized," she advised her sister. "Although I think an apology won't hurt. I might not like him much but it is basic manner to apologize to someone you offend."

"I really don't want to. I don't think an apology will make him get back with me. I apologized to Noah but she refused to get back with Wayne. He used to go to her house frequently but she returned to Star city and I think he blames me," Anna told Rose with a very guilty expression.

"It is a good think you know it is your fault," Rose said. "I think Wayne also deserves an apology from you. You jeopardized his relationship."

"Yeah. You are right. If I ever lose Wayne as my friend, I might never find someone as nice and smart as he is who will be willing to keep up with my craziness. We used to be four but the fourth person left. She was Debby's friend and when Debby became my friend, she also became my friend. She left before I woke up. I heard her family moved somewhere else. Wayne said she cut off communication. She changed her number . . . I guess I was really a bad friend to make her run away from us without looking back."

"I don't so. I think she did something bad. She feels too ashamed to see you guys," Rose replied with an encouraging smile.

"You don't have to say it that way to please me. I doubt if that is the case. She is happy now and I guess I should be happy for her."

Rose did not continue encouraging her sister about her friendship although she was very sincere about what she said. From what she heard from Debby, the girl left only a week after Anna's disappearance. She suspected that the girl had a hand in it all. Anna was yet to get her memories back which make almost everyone around Anna at that time a suspect. It could be Wayne or Debby although she hated to think of these possibility.

"I will help you with your bag," Anna said bring their bags from the back seat when she parked Rose's car which she drove. It took a while for Rose to succeed in persuading her to use her license.

"Thanks," Rose said and got out of the car.

Standing beside a blue small car with most of it paints worn off, was a guy with a crown of red curly hair. He gazed at the two sisters intently with his grip on his bag further tightening.

Anna looked towards the red haired guy and paused shocked by the amount of hostility she could feel directed towards her.

"Are you okay?" Rose asked following her line of sight.

"Yes, let's go," she said and left the car park. She hugged Rose's arm.

"Are you okay?" Rose had to ask again when she noticed her sister's mood had become really sad.

"Hmm."

"I thought we settled everything with him? Does he still blame you for his crush's death? Hope he doesn't harrass you?"

"No one can harrass me. He just keeps giving me really creepy glances in class. He stares at me as far as we find ourselves in the same place," Anna replied unhappy.

"We told Jace to help us find out what really happened. Perhaps we should tell mum about it. She will be able to help us. I don't think it will stop with just the stares. What if he decides to revenge by killing you?"

"I don't think it will get to that. We could all call him later and talk to him. Perhaps we could have him tell us what he saw on the night Jace got stabbed," Anna suggested.

"Yeah, I think we should do that first and if things does not work out well then we will have to let an adult take care of it," Rose concluded.

Anna agreed. She took Rose to the door of her class and left her after hugging her. Rose advised her to be careful and try not to be alone at all.

Perhaps after coming in contact with a psychopath, Rose got really watchful and perhaps a little paranoid. She did not see a psychopath in the red haired guy but she was sure that someone could easily turn to one when hungry for vengeance.

She did not want her sister to be a victim of any of that sort. At least she did not want it to happen once again. The first was a very huge blow on her sister both physically and emotionally. She did not want to imagine how huge of a blow it will be on Anna if it happens to her again. Anna might not be able to survive it.

"Hello Master," Eric said in a sing-song voice when he saw Rose.

"Hello Apprentice,"she replied easily with a soft smile.

Two words came to Eric's mind when he saw Rose's bright smile, 'So Blinding." He however forgot to add 'as always'.

"How do you feel now?" he asked when Rose made herself comfortable on her seat.

"I feel better," she replied maintaining her smile.
