    "Then who are you?"


    Damian looked between the girls in utter confusion.


    Rose looked down and closed her eyes to stop the tears from falling.


    "Ste..."


    Damian yelled walking inside the mansion.

    Rose and isabe followed him behind.


    Everyone gathered in the hall and stood stunned when they saw the girls, it was hard to tell which one


    was rose and which one was isabe.


    "Everyone out, you three in my office... Now."


    Damian ordered Ste, rose and isabe.


    "What the fuck is this, Ste ?..."


    Damian growled.


    Rose was leaning against the wall while isabe was standing beside damian with some distance and


    Ste was standing in front him.


    "She is saying that she is isabe..."


    Damian said pointing towards the girl who was a crying mess.


    Ste looked at the girls guiltily.


    "Yes, she is right damian... She is Isabe..."


    She confirmed and damian grabbed his hair in frustration as it was too much for him to take.


    Rose closed her eyes and looked down whe she heard Ste telling the truth.


    "Then who is she and why do they look alike. What the fuck is happening here?..."


    Damian pointed towards rose and demanded an answer.


    Ste looked at rose and tears escaped from her glossy eyes.


    "She is my another daughter, Isabe''s twin Arabe..."


    Damian ran his hand through his hair in frustration.


    "Rose... Did you knew about all these things... ?"


    He asked making her heart race. Yes she knew but how will he react after knowing that.


    "No!..."


    Ste quickly said before rose replied to him.


    "She had no idea about this damian, she didn''t even knew who you are or who I am to her, she was


    just five years old when we lost her..."


    Rose and isabe both red at Ste for lying again.


    "Fine... I understand that she had no idea about it. But what about isabe. You told me she was dead


    then?..."


    He gritted his jaw.


    "They lied Dami, I am not dead... I never died. They kept me locked and treated me like a prisoner..."


    Isabe answered sobbing making damian frown, Rose''s reaction was kind of same as she had no


    idea what isabe is talking about.


    "What the hell is she saying Ste, what did you people do..."


    Damian growled making Ste flinch.


    "Whatever we did... We did it to keep her safe, we wanted her to be safe. She has a heart problem and


    it was Vincent''s decision to save her from our enemies, that''s why we kept her locked away from


    everyone..."


    Ste replied.


    "And you didn''t think it was important enough to tell me about it..."


    He asked in disbelief.


    "It was Vincent''s decision, you know I can''t do anything in front of him..."


    Ste defended herself.


    Rose and isabe both were throwing hateful daggers at her.


    Damian looked at rose and his heart broke.


    She stood there helpless, her face was showing the pain she is feeling right now. He knew she won''t


    cry here in front of everyone as she thinks of it as weakness. No matter how much she is hurt she won''t


    cry in front of anyone.


    "Why did you abandoned her?..."


    "I didn''t... I lost her when we were on the run..."


    Ste looked at rose and rose balled her fist and controlled herself from slitting her throat right at the


    moment.


    "Dami please trust me I am your be..."


    Damian looked at the crying girl, she hugged him and this time he hugged her back with the same


    desperation.


    Rose''s heart broke into million pieces when she saw him hugging her. She felt like Her whole world


    crashed down in front of her.


    "Be..."


    Damian whispered and she sobbed harder.


    Ste walked towards rose and tried to hold her hand but rose pushed her away making her stumble


    back.


    "Don''t you dare touch me..."


    Rose growled at her. Damian''s eyes snapped towards her and he broke the hug with isabe.


    "Arie please listen to me once..."


    Ste pleaded.


    "Don''t call my name from your mouth. I am not your daughter, you are no one to me. You will stay away


    from me do you understand..."


    She warned Ste and for the first time damian saw this much hate in rose, her words were full of


    venom.


    Rose nced at damian once and left the office, he was about to follow her but isabe grabbed his


    arm and before he reacts she fainted in his arms.


    "Be?..."


    He tapped her cheeks but she didn''t replied.


    He lifted her up and carried her to his bedroom and ordered jack to call the doctor.


    .


    .


    .


    " Did she had a heart surgery?"


    Doctor asked looking at damian and Ste.


    "Yes, recently..."


    Ste replied who was standing near the bed.


    Damian and rose both were looking at Isabe''s vulnerable form and both of them were concerned


    about her health.


    "Is she ok?..."


    Rose asked making everyone look at her.


    "No, she is not... She is still healing and you people have to be careful with her. Don''t let her know


    things or don''t put her in situations were she will get too emotional or cause her emotional pain. It''s


    very dangerous for her."


    Doctor exined and everyone nodded.


    Doctor and Ste left the room. Rose was about to leave too but damian stopped her.


    "Rose..."


    She turned around and looked at him.


    "Hmm?"


    Damian kept looking at her as this was the first time in his life he was speechless, he had no idea what


    to say and how to handle the situation.


    "Arie?..."


    Both of them turned towards isabe who called rose.


    Be stood up from the bed and walked towards her, rose was looking at her with an emotionless face,


    she didn''t let her emotions reflect on her face.


    Be hugged rose catching her off-guard. Rose stilled in her position for a moment but wrapped her


    hands around her hesitatingly.


    "I missed you so much Arie..."


    Be said looking at her.


    "They told me that you are dead, I thought I lost you. I am so happy that you are alive."


    Be wiped her wet cheeks.


    "I am so happy I got you both back..."


    Rose saw the happiness on her face, the way she was looking at damian made Rose''s heart ache.


    On other hand damian was admiring the reunion of sisters. He was beyond happy to see isabe but


    he was aware of Rose''s pain too.


    "How did you get here Arie, where were you all these years. Why did your mother told me that you


    were dead. And how did you know dami..."


    Be''s throwed questions after questions on rose.


    Both damian and rose had no idea what to tell her. How will she react if they told her that they are


    together, it won''t be good for her heart. She will freak out if she learned that her childhood love now


    belongs to her sister.


    "She is my bodyguard be and don''t think too much about unnecessary things, you need to rest. Go


    back to bed..."


    Damian said and she obeyed.


    Rose turned around and left the room. Damian stepped out too and stopped her.


    "Rose I am sorry... But we can''t tell her the truth, it''s not good for her health. We have to stay...."


    "I understand..."


    Were her only words and they were filled with heaviness. Her throat tightened and she tried her best


    not to break down in front him but he noticed it anyway.


    "I am sorry rose..."


    Damian''s eyes went glossy looking at her condition.


    Rose didn''t replied she just turned around and ran towards her room. She mmed the door shut and


    locked herself in the bathroom.


    Turning on the shower she broke down, she cried her heart out letting her tears disappear with the


    water. Sitting on the floor she pulled her knees to her chest and hid her face into it.


    By Isabe''s appearance she understood that she lost all her rights on him as he always belonged to


    her. Rose had no right on him now.


    When she saw the care and concern in his eyes for her she felt like someone was slicing her heart little


    by little.


    The thought of loosing him was killing her every second, the man she protected with her life, the man


    she always desired, the man to whom she loves never belonged to her. He belonged to her sister.


    "It''s my fault, this is all my fault. I shouldn''t have gone near him. I had no right to love him..."


    She sobbed.


    "It''s ok, Arabe..."


    She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked at the gentle voice.


    She saw him and hugged him tightly, he quickly wrapped his hands around her and pulled her in his


    embrace.


    Rose cried hard on his shoulders and he let her.


    Turning off the shower he caressed her back.


    "She is back, she will hate me. Damian will hate me if he learns the truth. I knew about all this. I knew


    everything and still I didn''t tell him anything. He will hate me.... he will hate me, I don''t want him to hate


    me..."


    Rose sobbed.


    "It''s ok Arie, he won''t hate you. You didn''t knew that isabe is alive like everyone else. None of this is


    your fault. You didn''t do anything wrong and you have as much right on him as she has on him."


    Jackson said wiping her tears.


    She shook her head.


    "No I don''t, I was just a sub..."


    "No Arie, you were not her substitute, do you understand. You have your own identity. Don''t you dare


    Jackson scolded her.


    "Come on get up and change your clothes otherwise you will catch cold..."


    She nodded and he left the washroom.


    Rose changed her clothes and dried her hair.


    "What were you doing here ?..."


    She asked in her raspy voiceing out of the closet.


    "You thought I will leave my best friend alone in her tough time, no Arie I will never leave you alone..."


    She heard him and again tears rolled down on her cheek. It was getting hard for her to hold them back.


    "Stop crying dude, you look ugly. Stay strong you can''t loose your hope like this. I want to see the rose


    who is strong, who don''t give two fucks about anything and anyone.


    Not the Arabe who is weak and cries on every second thing.


    Be the rose you have worked so hard on, not Arabe..."


    Jackson scolded her. She looked at him and gave him a nod.


    "Not like this..."


    He gripped her arms and shook her.


    "Come out of it, close your eyes and lock it in. Rule no 1. You are not allowed to feel anything,


    emotions are our biggest enemies. The more you feel the more it will hurt."


    Jackson reminded her about their training.


    "Close your eyes Arabe go back and send rose out..."


    He said like he is talking with two persons.


    She closed her eyes and locked her emotions in, everything which was hurting her. If she wants to


    survive this situation then she have to handle it with strong heart and mind. Being vulnerable won''t help


    her, crying won''t help her.


    She opened her eyes and looked at Jackson with her cold grey eyes, the vulnerable Arabe was long


    gone. Jackson looked in her eyes and smirked.


    "That''s my girl..."


    ****


    Damian took his shower and came outside.


    Isabe looked at him and smiled, his heart melted looking at her innocent smile. He always thought


    what he will do if he got his isabe back but now when she is standing in front of him he wasn''t feeling


    much about her definitely he was happy but something was missing. Her innocence, the good vibes he


    was getting from her was making him feel small in front of her.


    He was a monster of his dark world, angels like her don''t belong here.


    He sat in front of her and touched her face gently to make sure if she is real or he is in another dream.


    Be leaned in his touch and enjoyed the soothing feeling.


    "How did you get here ?"


    He questioned.


    "Leo forgot to lock the door, so I took the chance and escaped..."


    She replied.


    "Why... Are you not happy to see me again dami..."


    "Trust me you have no idea how happy I am..."


    He smiled at her.


    "I don''t want to go back, they will lock me again. I want to stay with you please..."


    She pleaded holding his hand.


    "No one will lock you again be, you are safe with me..."


    Damian assured her.


    "Promise?..."


    "Promise..."


    He nodded.


    Isabe was always like that an innocent, happy and kind soul and he loved that but now he craved for


    rose. He was no more a fan of innocence he liked Rose''s cold and savage attitude. He no more desires


    happiness and light in his life he liked the darkness in which rose lives with him. He don''t want the


    Chaos which isabe will bring in his life because he was addicted to peace andfort which rose


    gave him.


    ''I am no longer your dami be, I don''t deserve you. You are too innocent and delicate for me.''


    He thought looking at her angelic form.


    He was about to leave the room but she stopped him.


    "Dami, where are you going?..."


    "I have some work to do, you can go to sleep."


    He reasoned as he wanted to stay alone for sometime, isabe looked down sadly. His cold tone didn''t


    set well with her.


    "I can''t sleep, I am scared..."


    She mumbled.


    "Please sleep with me..."


    Damian looked at her and sighed.


    "Fine..."


    She smiled andyed on the bed. Damian sat down beside her and she clinged on him.


    In no time she was in deep slumber but damian was wide awake. He didn''t felt the warmness he got in


    Rose''s embrace. Nothing about her felt like rose. Even if they looked alike they had huge difference in


    their personalities.


    Damian removed her hands from his body and got out of the room towards his office. He didn''t go to


    rose, he had nothing to say, he needs to find an answers for himself first.


    He saw Ste standing in front of Rose''s room, the hesitation and fear in her eyes showed how scared


    she is to go inside.


    "What are you doing here?..."


    He asked.


    "I wanted to talk to her but she is sleeping..."


    Ste mumbled.


    Damian peaked inside her room and saw rose sleeping on her bed clutching on the pillow, how badly


    he wanted to rece that pillow with himself.


    "Let her be, she needs some time alone..."


    "She is my daughter Damian, she hates me..."


    Ste sobbed.


    "She should ..."


    Damian clenched his jaw.


    "You saw her when you came here, you must have recognised her because she is the twin of the girl


    you people held captive. You knew she is your daughter that''s why you were asking me about her


    didn''t you?..."


    He narrowed his eyes at her.


    "Then why didn''t you tell me, why didn''t you let rose know about it, you were acting like she was a


    stranger to you..."


    "I had no courage, I knew she will hate me..."


    Ste lied again, she can''t tell him the truth, she was trapped in her own lies.


    "And why didn''t I had any idea that isabe has a twin, rose or Arabe whatever her name was. Why


    did no one made me aware of her existence. You had only one daughter and that was isabe. Then


    what about Rose..."


    He asked confused, his head was pounding dealing with so much drama. So many things were yet to


    open up, so many secrets and mysteries.


    "I can''t exin anything to you Damian, only he can please wait for him to wake up..."


    Ste pleaded.


    Damian sighed frustratingly.


    "And where the fuck is Leo, I haven''t seen him for weeks..."


    "He is out of the country for some business, he wille back in few days..."


    Ste replied controlling her tears.


    "Damian please, only you can make Arie understand the situation please talk to her, I don''t want her to


    hate me, she will listen to you..."


    She requested and Damian nodded.


    "If you really didn''t abandoned her then I will try..."


    He replied walking past by her.


    He entered his office and sat there the whole night drinking.


    He was thinking hard about how to handle this situation. On one hand it was his love, rose whom he


    love with all his passion and on other hand it was his childhood love isabe who loves him with all her


    passion and he didn''t want to hurt her.


    He was dangling between them and he has to choose one of them soon. But the question is who?


    Whom will he choose, his past or his present.
