Rosalie

In the luxurious bedroom of soulswood castle the girl can be seen, sitting in front of dressing table. The room was grand and styled in European design. Something that was suitable for the status of a princess. Huge vintage vanity table, a big bed, and a closet full of luxurious clothes and what not.

Two maids were helping her with her hairstyle. Her beautiful face now look more beautiful with a simple touch of make-up and beautiful hairstyle.

Rosalie's eyes were glued to the mirror in front of her. It was as if she was looking at herself in the mirror but if one look closely that wasn't the case.

Her eyes were glued on the reflection of the opposite was, were some photos were hung. A large photo frame in middle surrounded by others small frames of different photos, captured on different occasions of four youngsters.

She lookLittle distracted, gazing at them. Something strange lurking in her eyes. Her eyes moved from one photo to other and all the memory related to those photos played in her mind. Soon her eyes stopped at the largest one in the middle.

She remembered that, that was captured at the jade glacier falls, year ago.

They were all sited on the meadow near the waterfall. Mia, Dominic, Anna, and she herself with genuine happiness on their faces.

That was a day of her 20th birthday, a huge celebration was held in the castle that day but she didn't enjoy that party. Instead she enjoyed the morning picnic with her friends.

As the memory of their happy moments pass through her eyes, her eyes became misty.

But everything seems changed now, she didn't see Dominic smile much. Mia was also visit her very often, and when she tried to meet, Mia always ended up crying remembering Annabelle

And from deep within her heart one weak voice asked the question

'did she ruined everything?' Questioned Rosalie in her mind as she glanced at the face of one of the girl in the picture.

Annabelle.

'Maybe she did.' But then her eyes fell on the other face.

Dominic.

Her one and only obsession and weakness, She love him. Starting from the time she learned what is love, or may be way before that. But that man has set his eyes on the other girl. No matter how much she tried to get his attention and love, but he always saw her as a friend, and Nothing more.

She was never interested in the crown or being queen. That was never her goal. What she did was to get the man she love.

She chose love over friendship. She killed Anna to get Dominic.

She knows deep down that the path she chose was wrong but she don't care anymore.

As she was deep in her thoughts a gentle voice broke her train of thoughts.

"Rose? Rose?." Said Augusta as she put her hand on Rosalie's shoulders from behind to catch her attention. It didn't took her long to understand what her daughter was thinking as she can see her misty eyes and lost focus.

She gazed at her through the mirror, and sigh loudly. After dismissing the maids she walked ahead, now facing Rosalie.

"Hmm looks like my daughter is little nerves for her big day." Said Augusta. Rosalie lifted her eyelashes and look at her mother.

Looks like her mother don't want to talk about that again. Thought Rosalie to herself.

"Rose remember this one advise of mine. You don't have to feel bad about anything. It is our right to get our happiness and try to use all possible means to get that happiness." Said Augusta as she locked her eyes on her daughter. Rosalie just force a smile and kept her thoughts to herself.

Now what is done is done and there is no way to go back so she just decided to keep her faith in her mother.

Soon they heard knocking on the door.

"Come in" Said Rosalie.

"Sir Dominic is here, my lady" informed the maid.

Rosalie's eyes started to shimmer hearing his name, and a slight smile formed on her lips. In an instant the gloominess vanished from her face. While Augusta also felt happy as she saw genuine happiness in her daughter's eyes.

'It's all worth it' muttered Augusta in her heart.

" Now come on smile for mama. From Today onwards the whole world will be yours." She said and put her hand on Rosalie's head.

Rosalie nodded and ordered maid

"Let sir Dominic came in" said Rosalie. And then she turned to take a look in the mirror, checking her appearance. She was looking beautiful, and the smile plastered on her face was adding a charm to her beauty.

Soon the door opened and Dominic walked in. He was clad in a white shirt and black pants, and a black jacket. His hair was combed back, making him look handsome and tidy.
