The mansion was silent at night.
Not peaceful silent.
Dangerous silent.
Rosey stood in the middle of a massive bedroom that felt more like a prison disguised as luxury. Black curtains. Cold marble floor. A bed bigger than her entire old house.
She crossed her arms.
“…So this is kidnapping with interior design,” she muttered.
No answer.
Of course.
---
Locked In
Rosey walked to the door.
Locked.
She tried again.
Still locked.
Then she kicked it.
“HEY! I’m not staying here like some decoration!”
From outside, a calm voice responded.
“No one is allowed to leave.”
Rosey leaned closer to the door.
“Yeah? Watch me.”
She started scanning the room.
Window. Too high.
Furniture. Heavy but movable.
Security cameras. Two.
She smiled slightly.
“Alright then…”

Rosey vs The Mansion
She dragged a chair under the window.
Climbed.
Looked down.
“…Okay, that’s a lot higher than I expected.”
Still, she didn’t hesitate.
She pushed the window open.
Cold air hit her face.
Freedom.
She smirked.
“Sorry Vincenzo, but I don’t do cages.”
And jumped.
---
Outside…
THUD.
Rosey landed hard on the ground.
“…Ow.”
She stood up quickly, rubbing her arm.
Then—
“Going somewhere?”
A voice.
Behind her.
Rosey froze.
Slowly turned.
Vincenzo.
Standing there.
Calm.
Unbothered.
Like he expected this.
Rosey clicked her tongue.
“Do you always stalk kidnapped people?”
“I don’t need to stalk,” he said. “You’re predictable.”
That annoyed her more than it should have.
---
The Chase of Pride
Rosey ran.
Fast.
Across the garden, past the gates, toward the road.
But before she could reach it—
A car blocked her path.
Marco stepped out.
“…Boss said you’d try this.”
Rosey groaned.
“Oh my God, do you people have no hobbies?!”
She turned again.
And stopped.
Vincenzo was already behind her.
Cornered.
Not touching her.
Just there.
Enough.
---
A Different Kind of Danger
Rosey glared at him.
“I’m not staying.”
Vincenzo stepped closer.
“Why?”
“Because I don’t belong here.”
A pause.
For the first time… Vincenzo didn’t respond immediately.
Rosey noticed.
She always noticed everything.
Then he said quietly:
“You already do.”
Something in his voice wasn’t cold this time.
It was certain.
That made it worse.
---
Georgina’s Shadow
A slow clap echoed from the balcony above.
“Wow.”
Georgina Serenella stood there, watching.
Elegant as always. Smiling as always.
But her eyes… were sharp.
“I didn’t know you liked running around after stray girls, Vincenzo.”
Rosey rolled her eyes.
“Oh great. The Barbie Mafia arrived.”
Georgina ignored her.
She looked at Vincenzo.
“You really brought her here… because of a contract?”
Silence.
That silence again.
Georgina’s smile twitched.
“Interesting.”
She turned and left.
But her expression had changed.
Something had shifted.
Something darker.
---
The Warning
Vincenzo grabbed Rosey’s wrist.
Not hard.
But final.
“You will not escape again.”
Rosey looked at his hand.
Then at him.
“Or what?”
A pause.
His voice dropped slightly.
“Or you’ll learn why no one leaves La Mano alive.”
Rosey should’ve been scared.
Most people would’ve been.
But instead—
She smiled.
Small.
Defiant.
“Then I guess I’ll have to stay interesting.”
For a moment—
Vincenzo didn’t move.
Didn’t speak.
Just looked at her.
Like she was a problem he didn’t want to solve too quickly.
