She wondered what expression her sister will give her when she finds out that she might be connected to the painful thing she experienced only a few months ago.

"So . . .?" Rose asked tired of waiting for Anna who was taking her time to come up with the right answer.

"Debby thinks you got stabbed because of me," Anna replied with a lot of courage. This was not an easy thing for her to do. She watched closely to see her sister\'s reaction hoping it won\'t be as bad as she was imagining it will be.

"I did not say that, Anna. I said it was connected to what happened to Coleman," Debby corrected.

"I think we should leave that to the police. Wayne just got a call from Jace. The Hart family is also investigating it. Whoever is behind all these, will definitely get caught soon," Rose said easily with a relaxed expression. "Are you okay?"  she asked Debby whose wrist she released from her grip.

"Yes. I am sorry I over reacted," Debby said looking at Anna guiltily.

"It\'s okay. I know you are right and I will have to get a private detective to find out how the person I am connected with us. I won\'t sit by when anynody could be the next victim," Anna said calmly. She took deep breaths to relax. Adjusting her expression and her putting a smile on her face after cleaning up, she left the restroom.

"Debby, I know you are scared but I don\'t think anyone is as scared as Anna is right now. You know what they did to her, right?" Rose asked as nicely and gently as she could not to offend Debby or act like she was taking side although if she was to support anyone, she will chose her sister.

"I know. I just can\'t . . . I just can\'t believe Coleman is dead," Debby said as she burst into tears.

Rose sighed and pulled Debby into her arms for a hug. "It is all going to be alright. They will find his sister and the culprit will get arrested," Rose assured the crying girl in her embrace. All these was too much for all them.

"What are you thinking about so much that you did not notice me when I entered?" Liam asked Rose who sat on the massage chair facing the glass ceiling-to-floor door that leads to the balcony.

"I saw you," Rose replied comfortably. She only saw him when he entered the room. She did not see him get on the balcony. It was like he fell from the sky. She shook her head snapping back to reality to think straightforwardly.

"So, what\'s wrong?" He asked removing the hood of the black hoodie he wore on a simple pair of black jogger pants. He picked the chair in front of her study desk and brought it to where Rose sat staring out of the window at the evening orange sky.

"A student in my school got killed," she replied without hesitation and looked at him. She was aware that her shield who was her future husband was an intelligent man to be where he is now so there was a high possibility that he will have something important to say about the whole thing.

"I heard about it," he told her. He was really happy she wanted to talk about it with him. No one might understand but he felt like he won a lottery. Every progress he made with Rose was more than winning a lottery to him.

"Someone thinks it connected to what happened to me in Star city," Rose narrated. She turned to face him and rested her gaze on him expectantly.

"I suspected that too. I have people investigating the connection," Liam told her happy he thought towards that direction.

He did not tell Rose but if the two incidents are connected then, there is a fifty percent probability that the person was aware of her identity and soon, Anna might become a threat to Rose\'s well-being.

"Could you tell me the result of the investigation when it is over?" Rose asked feeling a lot more better. She have been bothered by what Debby and said.

Those incidents are connected, then she might have to be more watchful that ever before. She also must not trust Anna. Anna was obviously not the culprit but since the culprit was well connected to Anna then it was best to not trust Anna.

She have always been secretive about her true identity with her foster family members. She now intends to be more cautious if that was even possible.

"I will let you know," Liam verbally agreed although he did not agree at all. It was best to keep Anna\'s true identity from Rose. This was not the right time.

"Thank you," Rose appreciated finding the conversation they just had very warm and sweet. It felt good to be able to talk about someone about such things. He knew about her true identity and they both shared the same interests.

"Hmm" Liam hummed with a smile. "You shouldn\'t be scared of anyone at all. I make anyone who tries to hurt you disappear," Liam promised her with a smile she found very attractive.

Now in a better mood, Rose decided to ask him a question that have bothered her for a while. She glanced at the door of her room. Anna was supposed to bring some sketches she wanted Rose to judge as an artist.

"How do you manage to keep everyone off when you\'re with me? You did it in the garden too and now . . .," Rose asked curiously. She glanced at the door of her room and back to him. Her eyes rested on his grey eyes which looked the very warm and calm.

"I have many ways to make that happen," was his very not straightforward answer.

"That is why I am asking. How?" she asked getting more curious with every seconds he tried to stalk.
