Priceless

  *Daniel’s pov* I tried and tried to find something worthwhile in Rose’s cabin. I didn’t find anything that seemed out of work. I don’t know if I could ever call her Aubrey. She will always be Rose for me. Rose. Delicate, gentle, and strong. I needed to know what secrets she was hiding that was troubling her. I would not think twice before taking all those horrible things away from her at any cost and hiding her safe from the entire world. She deserves calm and peace. She deserves everything. Just as I get searching the last cupboard, the shrill ring of my phone alerts me. My stomach twists when I see it’s Sophie calling. I had this weird feeling nagging at me that I pushed down not so long ago. “Is everything okay?” are the words that drop out of my mouth just as I answer the call. “Dan- Daniel, um,” she takes a breath in before continuing, “um, I think you should come here-” I end the call before she says anything more. This can’t be good. The familiar feeling of p

Aubrey Matthews

  “Oh god, yes, Bree. How many times should I say that? She is our Bree, Aubrey Matthews.” Daniel’s world paused for a minute. There was nothing going on in his mind apart from plain confusion. She was not some Aubrey, she was Rose, his Rose Whistleberry. What if the one that the lady was referring as Aubrey was a long lost twin of Rose?

He wasn’t going to question everything he knows about her just because of one thing that someone else said. While he was questioning this, the old lady had disappeared somewhere. He appreciated the solitude, he needed it at the moment. There was definitely some confusion here, he was sure of it. In a while, the lady returned with a file of some sort. It was very old file from the looks of it. “Boy, here,” she said, “I don’t know why you are calling her Rose or who you are to her today but i

The first hint

  It had been three days. Three days since Daniel had found that pendrive in Rose’s house. The entire thing, of course, was a huge surprise to him. He had contacted some of his IT friends to open that pen-drive, most of them turned out to be unsuccessful in cracking open the file. His last hope, last resort was Sam, his colleague from one of his jobs. He was just as good as Vic and Daniel hoped that he could be the missing key to the puzzle. The puzzle was more complex than he had anticipated; more excruciating and just as confusing. There were so many questions running through his mind for the past three days. Why would someone break into her house? Why did they not steal anything? Why did Rose had a secret box in her house? And most importantly, what was in the pen-drive if it had been safekept like such. The answers were hidden in the pen-drive and he was going to solve them no matter what. On the other hand, Sophia had been more and more intrigued behind Claire. She
