Chapter 76 - Cleared Traces



The sound of Rose closing the door of his car after sitting down comfortably brought him back to reality and without saying a word to her, or looking at her, he drove off.

Rose noticed something was off but considering that she was still confused about the whole situation she was in with Jace\'s elder brother, she decided to mind her business unwilling to offend this living time bomb.

He drove her home and surprisingly, his mansion was only fifteen ride away from her home. He stopped at the gate and got down from his car. He opened the door for her and waited patiently for her to step out of his car.

"You know the way to my house. I saved my number in your phone with my name.. You can call me or find me whenever you need my help although I will be very close to you when you need me," he said giving her the paper bag with her purse, clothes, shoes and phone lying neatly arranged in it.

"Thank you for the ride," she said walking to the tall metal gate of her house.

"Rosaline," he called.

She stopped immediately and looked back at him confused. Why was he suddenly calling her by her real name.

"You don\'t need to be scared of anything. I will be your human shield," he said softly that even the wind won\'t be able to take it anywhere other than to Rose\'s ears.

She looked down at her fingers holding onto the paper bag he gave her. This was the most beautiful statement she have heard from anyone since her mother died.

Her mother who used to be her human shield was long dead leaving her all alone in this wicked world. She had no one to turn to but this very handsome knight was offering her protection but what will he asked for in return?

She looked up at his beautiful eyes that had a superpower of making every other thing around meaningless when she looks at them. "Thank you," was all she said after contemplating what the right thing for her to say was.

She did not trust him at all. She had too much unanswered questions that she could not consider trust as an option at this point.

He smiled and moved away to his car. "I will find you if I need to see you. No alcohol, it won\'t do you any good. Try to live well and forget the past, the future is more important," he advised her with a slight smile.

Watching him smile the way he did, she found herself hoping he does not smile this often with other people. It made her heart race so fast she could hear the sounds of her heart beats. She wanted to be the only person to have this feeling.

He gave her a quick wave before sitting behind the steering of his car and drove off after giving her another wave this time, it was longer and paired up with a hot sexy smile.

The gate opened as soon as she got to the gate. She walked in and wished he drove in to drop her off right in front of the mansion when she saw the long way she had to walk before she gets to the house from the gate.

"Rose!!!" Anna shouted running out of the house when she got to the steps in front of the house.

"Oh Anna. I am sorry, I should have called or come back home earlier. I . . .," She began a series of apologies but got interrupted by the tight hug Anna gave her and she soon felt the girl shaking against her as she sobbed.

"Are you sure you are fine?" Anna asked worriedly as she stepped back mopping her tears and looked all over Rose to confirm.

"Yes I am fine," she replied smiling and nodding energetically. She did not want to appear that way but after having one of the longest most peaceful sleep of this life, she could not help being that way.

"Yeah, you are really fine. So, what happened?" Anna asked pulling her into the house to the living room where Wayne and Debby got up as soon as they walked in shocked to see Rose perfectly okay.

"Oh goodness, what happened to you? You scared us all. Why did you leave so early? You made us all worried," Debby began looking at Rose carefully.

" . . . and guilty. We were all having fun and did not realize you were gone early until the party was over. We thought you had come home but Mara said otherwise and we began looking for you," Wayne narrated.

"A friend\'s brother helped me when I got knocked out by a drink. It was bad but he was helpful. I am coming from his house," Rose said truthfully.

"Who is that friend\'s brother? We checked all the videos from the security cameras but we could not find you. I guess whoever it was must have wiped out every record of his presence at the party and no one seemed to have seen you leave," Wayne told her sitting down back on the sofa he stood up from few minutes ago.

"If he took effort to wipe his trace off, I think I have no right to tell you who it was. I am sorry," Rose said looking down guiltily.

"Rose, that is not fair after making us get so worried about you," Anna objected with a serious frown.

"I am sorry," Rose said raising her hand up in defeat but did not tell Anna who it was.

"Does Eric have an older brother?" Anna asked Wayne the all knowing.

"No, he has an older cousin but he is the only child of his parent," Wayne said proofing he was really all knowing. "He also did not come to the party."

"No matter what happened last night, I hope you are alright inside out?" Anna asked. "None of your organ is missing, right?"

"None, they are complete. The person simply saved me and that was all. I don\'t think it is necessary to know who it was," Rose said firmly unwilling to give up Liam\'s name since he took the pain of clearing every trace of his presence.

"Did the person drive you here?" Anna asked.

"Yes," Rose responded truthfully. If they find him in the video from the security cameras in front of the gate, then he was not serious about keeping his identity secret.

"Let us go," Anna told Wayne before pulling him after her.

After going through the efforts to find the guy, the video from the moment the guy got there to drop Rose off was missing. Rose found herself sighing in relief at that.

Wayne tried to recover the video but the person who took it down, did that so well Wayne could not get the videos back after more than an hour of trying.

"I must say, that guy is good. It scares me to know someone is as good as him. He could help us with that hacking skill to find the guy that killed Claire," Wayne said with a deep respect imprinted in his heart.

"Or he could be the person who did it," Debby mumbled loud enough for them all to hear as she rubbed the goosebumps on her arm at the thought of that.

"No, he will not waste his skill on someone like Claire and the person who did that is related to Anna but this guy is related to me," Rose immediately refuted. She felt anger rise from the pit of her stomach at the sound of that accusation.

"Yeah," Wayne agreed. "This guy is better than the other guy. He did his work very neatly you won\'t know the videos are missing except you are looking for something particular. I was impressed by the hacking skill of the guy who did that to Claire but I am scared of this guy. It feels like he have everything in his control."

Rose found herself smiling secretly at that compliment towards her biggest crush as a pink tint began crawling up to her face. "I guess he does not want anyone to know he was here."

"Who is he? He must have an extraordinary identity to try to hide it so well," Anna asked her curiosity reaching it\'s peak.

"Since his identity is so extraordinary, don\'t you think it is only right we don\'t know to avoid getting killed to get us silenced," Debby voiced her opinion her face pale. "I don\'t know who this guy is but he scares the hell out of me."

"I will go to my room," Rose informed them happy that Debby somehow brought the interrogation to an end.

The three friends watched Rose as she left with the slight smile on her lips not hidden at all. They glanced at each other and made a mental agreement to forget about what happened although Anna found it really hard to forget.

She also felt offended that her sister was keeping secrets from her and she was bent on getting to know the secrets by all means.
