Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Chapter 28 - Accused



Rose subconsciously waited for Anna to come to her room but when Anna did not show up as usual, she went downstairs for her breakfast. When they met just outside the elevator, Rose felt really awkward.

"You were disgusted, right?" Anna asked looking down at her fingers to avoid the look of disgust she assumed Rose would be wearing.

"No," Rose replied her hastily as persuasive as she could.

"I really want to know that bastard and when I do, I will find him and kill him with my bare hands," Anna told her with determination and a cold look on her face. She made sure to demonstration by making a slicing knife sign towards her knife.

"I am sorry. I thought you needed some alone time," Rose apologized to get the guilt of her chest.

"Yeah, I needed some alone time."

.

"Are you okay now?"

"Yeah I am fine now."

Rose walked too her and hugged Anna as she hoped Anna gets over it soon.

Anna chuckled when Rose pulled away. "I won't hit anyone else, I promise."

It was Rose's turn to chuckle and she chuckled in a lively manner. "If you don't, I might have to help you so, hit anyone that deserves it."

Anna threw her hands on Rose's shoulder and led her towards the dining room. "When I turn sixteen, I will ask dad for a bike although mum promised me one. When I do, I will then have two bikes," Anna whispered her little secret to Rose.

"Don't think I won't expose you. I will, and when I do, you will have only one bike," Rose answered her happy that the earlier awkward feeling and guilt she felt were now gone.

"I want a birthday present, my birthday is less than a week away," Anna reminded Rose hoping for something really nice from her sister.

Rose could only shake her head towards her sister who knew nothing about her finally state. Since she became a part of the Whitfred's family, she had not had a single penny to herself just like when she was in the orphanage.

She had had no reason to complain for more than a couple years because she was given almost everything she needed. She did not have any cause to buy anything with money and so money was far from her reach. She never asked for money and they never gave her any.

They ate a quick breakfast mainly of vegetables before going to school. Jace and their other friends were waiting for them at the entrance for them. When they came, Jace was the first to run towards them with his usual boyish smile.

They greeted them with hugs but as usual, Anna avoided Jace and his guard like plagues before throwing her hands around Wayne's shoulder and pulled him towards their block. The others followed Anna to the building and into the elevator.

A few students who were about to enter the elevator stopped and step aside for them to enter when they saw them coming. Rose found it odd but when she remembered how Anna slapped that girl, she immediately understood and besides the great young master Jace was with them.

Since Anna was her usual self like the event of yesterday never happened, no one in their small gang mention it. Jace's declaration of Anna as his girlfriend also made other students in the school avoid talking about it.

A couple days later, the girl Anna slapped went missing and Anna got confronted by the biggest and bravest crush of the girl. Most of the students knew nothing about it and those who knew said nothing about it.

The boy was very tall and had a thin frame. He waited for Anna in front of the girl's rest room and she came out of the restroom, he walked towards her. Anna did not take notice of him and simply by passed him but he stopped her.

"I need to talk to you," the boy told her a little scared but determined.

Anna checked around but there was no one else around making her know the guy was talking to her. Anna glanced at the normal looking red haired guy without interest and she was not able to recognize him. She could not come up with any reasonable reason why she should talk to him when she was supposed to be in class. She ignored him and continued walking towards her class.

"Claire is missing. She was kidnapped," he immediately blurted out loud enough for her to hear him to stop her from leaving.

Anna only paused for a while but kept walking. She did not recognize the girl whose name was mentioned as someone she knew. She only paused because the word kidnap had always seemed to ring a bell on her mind since she got kidnapped and had always gotten her attention. She kept walking after pausing for only a couple of seconds.

She was not the police, if someone got kidnapped; it should not be reported to her but to the right authorities. She decided to ignore him although she felt pity towards the girl who was another victim to some psychopathic bastard.

"You did it, didn't you?" the boy called out to her when she was only a few meters away from the door of her class. He rushed after her and reached for her elbow.

Anna stopped and turned swiftly just before he could hold her elbow when she heard his accusation. Why on earth will she kidnap a random girl she knew nothing about? She could almost swear that the guy was definitely on some type of hard drug to come up with such baseless accusation.

However when she saw how clear the boy's eyes were and he was very much in his right mind, she knew there had to be a reason behind the claim. She did not want a new rumor to start about her at least not about something bad.

They could talk about how beautiful she was but not how she was responsible for making a girl go missing. The girl was a girl she did not know. It was best to uproot the sprout before it grows beyond control. "What did you say?' she heard him clearly but it seemed to her that the guy must have made some kind of grammatical error while talking.

"You kidnapped Claire," he still accused her of a crime she knew nothing about.

"Firstly, who is Claire? I don't even know the girl. So why will I kidnap her?" she asked watching the guy closely to find a clue that he was crazy so that she could close the case as the words of a boy out of his mind.

"You slapped her a few days ago," the red haired boy replied.

He answer made the whole accusation make some sense. "So, the girl I slapped a few days ago went missing. Why will I kidnap when I already slapped her? I slapped her till she passed out. I have no reason to kidnap her after slapping her," she tried to make things clear to the guy.

He had reasons why she should be a suspect but she could not imagine herself kidnapping a girl. How was she even going to be able to do it in the first place?

"You wanted to punish her. You did it because she spoke about you getting kidnapped. You did it to revenge. You wanted to ruin her reputation just like yours was ruined," the boy immediately gave her a good enough motive behind the crime he accused her of.

Anna scoffed getting impatient as she stared around the corridor. She sighed when she noticed no one was in sight. She shook her head feeling bored what the boy said made sense and she had to avoid getting into a deeper conversation about the missing girl with him.

She turned and tried to walk away but the boy stood in front of her blocking her part. She felt a serious sense of desire to kick his shin and leave but she had promised not to hit anyone and since the security cameras were watching them, she knew the guy won't be able to harm her.

She also did not want to hit him because she knew nothing about his background. It will be bad for her to hit the son of some other powerful family. She got away with hitting Jace because his father was her father's friend but she might not escape hitting some other rich kid. "Get out of my way," she warned him making up her mind to scream if he keeps blocking her part.

"You slapped her. Wasn't that enough?" the boy asked frustrated that Anna was not taking the issue serious.

"It was more than enough. So, I have no reason to kidnap her. Excuse me," she answered him noticing the guy's frustration building up. "Her parents should tell the police. I will sue you if I hear anyone accuse me of kidnapping her," she warned his as sternly as she could and tried to pass by the boy but he caught her elbow.

"When are you going to release her?" the boy asked with a hopeful look in his eyes.

Anna could not hold back her laughter as she stared at the boy who was doing a good job of being a fool. She flung his hand off her elbow. "Who are you by the way? Why do you care so much? You are not the police or her father."

The hopeful look in the boy's eyes disappeared immediately. He looked sad immediately with his shoulder slumped and his head bent. "I . . . I . . ."

"I don't know what happened to your friend but that does not mean you should go around accusing people. I am not with your friend, I have no reason to be with her so, do me a favor and don't go around spreading rumors," she pat his shoulder with a smile and went back to her class.

Not too long after returning to her class, the boy also walked into her class. She thought he was going to announce to the class that she kidnapped his friend and swore to beat him into a pulp if he does that not caring about whom his parents were or anything else.

He walked to the empty seat on the front row and sat down shocking Anna. She actually did not recognize the boy as one of her classmates despite the fact that they were only twenty students in a class.
