Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Rode did not let any other model wear her cloth for the photoshoot. She insisted that she wanted Anna to wear and Anna had to talk to those in charge to let her wear the clothes since she was a model herself.

"I never knew you were stubborn," Anna said shaking her head as she stopped from the cup of coffee Rose bought for her after the shoot.

"I am not stubborn. I only wanted my muse to wear my clothes, there is nothing wrong with that, right?" Rose said shaking and took a sip of the bittersweet coffee.

"Rose, we will graduate soon," Anna thoughtfully.

"Yeah," Rose replied nodding her head as she let her mind wander around as usual.

"What do you have to say about the last two years you spent in highschool?" Anna asked sounding like a worried mother.

"It's less than two years.. I think I feel, it is good that I did not remain homeschooled," Rose replied thoughtfully.

"Same here. I think if we had remained home schooled, I might have remained a scared little girl scared of going out into the world," Anna said.

"Are you still scared?" Rose asked with a concerned look.

"No, I am not scared anymore. I no longer feel like someone was going to hurt me. I feel safe with you, Debby and Wayne. I guess the best way to get over a trauma is to be around people who love and care about you but do their best not to point out the fact that you were actually traumatized by an event," Anna narrated.

"I am glad you got over it so well. We will move to Star city soon for college. I will miss Mara," Rose said sadly.

"I will miss her too. I really wanted her to come with us but she is the only person dad can trust to be our head Butler. She has been working for dad for more than ten years now and I don't think Dad will let her come with us," Anna murmured sadly.

"We will take care of ourselves. We can do that much, right?" Rose asked also trying to persuade herself that it won't be hard to take care of her self from now. The fact that she hardly had to do any house chores scared her that she might have turned into a very lazy young miss.

"I will ask mum to get us a good housekeeper. I won't be able to do anything hectic," Anna said like the young miss she was.

"Says the girl planning to study Engineering," Rose said shaking her head.

"Hey, it is not as hard as you think it is. I am also the best mathematics student in school, I should not have problem doing well academically," Anna replied with a smile. "I actually pity you more."

"I know I will have to work hard. Mum works really hard at times but I guess that is what made her successful," Rose said. "Mum speculated along with a few other designers that the jean jacket and the other female outfit I designed will trend for a while. Although for not too long but for at least two years."

"Are you happy?" Anna asked despite the answer written boldly on Rose excited face.

"Yeah. It will feel really good to see people wear what I designed. I designed a special outfit to suit your taste. I will make it for you myself," Rose promised.

"Awwn thank you," she appreciated in a dramatic manner cupping Rose face in her hands and chuckled. "I guess we should go back home. Debby and I want to go for Wayne's birthday together."

"Oh that's right," Rose said nodding. "Help me pick a gift for him. I don't know what he will want."

"We could either go shopping at the mall or order for it online. Wayne will love anything electronic, but he has all of those ready. I think something else like a nice looking outfit will do."

"Do you think so? An outfit will be a delayed birthday gift," Rose asked thoughtfully.

Anna smiled at her sister who had a focused expression as she thought of what to buy for her friend. "Wayne might just want something simple made with love. He does not need much, he could have almost anything he wants and I don't think you can afford to buy what he can't have," Anna tried to reduce her sister's worry.

"I did not know last year and since he travelled with his family, I could not give him anything so, I want to give him something good," Rose narrated with a slight pout of her lower lip.

"I really can not think of anything. I bought him a huge box of cubes. He said he always wanted some. He wanted to design his room with them. He had been too lazy to buy any. I think a nice scarf for winter or like I said earlier, design jacket or any other outfit that won't disturb the nerdy appearance he is bent on putting on his stylish manner. I think you can also buy a nice pair of glasses to add to his collection," Anna suggested a lot of options to ease her sister of her worry.

"I will go with the outfit. Let's go home, I won't be able to attend the party since I have to work on the outfit. I will give it to him myself or send it to his house before next week," Rose said standing up.

Anna glanced at her sister but swallowed back her words since she did not want to state the obvious. She also did not want to force Rose to come with her because Rose have refused to attend any party they have being invited for.

At first, she thought it was because Rose did know them well but when Eric celebrated his birthday few weeks ago, Rose did not go for the party. She stayed back at home with the excuse of being busy designing.

She found it weird because she made sure to attend any party worth attending. She decided to leave her sister after it happened the third time.

Rose exhaled before sitting behind the steering wheel in her car. She could only conclude that despite living another life, she might never get rid of the trauma she got from a party she attended in her past life.
