Chapter 9

• I’m sorry, Rozelyn. Your mother was already sick even before you’re born. Even though I’ve been your father’s mistress, I’ve been a good and caring mom to you, aren’t I?
• Romaine’s apology resonates into the ears of Rozelyn as they were on their way to their secluded destination.
• They were currently walking into the Fortress of the Rose; surrounded with myriad of trees and foliage along the path way. It made the place a bit darker if not for the ocherous lights of the well-arranged candles that illuminates their path.
