Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Chapter 58 - The Scent



The bone freezing cold she felt in that warehouse in her past life haunted her sleep making her shiver. She reached for the blanket to cover herself well but her subconscious mind was very unwilling to let go of the arm she hugged tightly.

Liam tried to stand up to get the remote control for the air-conditioner but the beautiful princess refused to let go of his hand as she kept shivering. He tried to ease the cold for her but she kept shivering.

Rose felt a strange but pleasant force pull her out of her nightmare. She opened her eyes slowly feeling warmth in her hand but when she looked up towards whoever gave her that warmth, her eyes dropped weakly.

She snuggled deeper into the warm embrace grateful for the very real dream which was very sweet that she was very unwilling to wake up from it. That male expensive scent filled her nose making her press her face against the chest and inhale deeply.

Liam smiled when he felt her press herself closer to him as though seeking refuge. He closed his eyes and sighed. There was no feeling in the world as special as the feeling he felt from knowing Rose loved his embrace.. The bed was not big but the two close pressed against each other made it comfortable enough.

She was the reason he was living in this life. She was the reason he was willing to give up all his all to stay by her side. He abandoned his brother and father to be with her and there was no joy as much as he felt knowing she was willing to be in his embrace.

He did not have much time left but he was willing to use this short time to be with Rose or helping her in every way possible. He caressed her soft silky hair and inhaled her scent. She smelt like Rose freely picked with a mixture of the soothing scent that came with a rain. He could not help but imagine how a beautiful rose garden will smell like after rain.

Her scent was just too intoxicating as well as addicting but he was willing to indulge in it despite the fact that he knew it was not the right time for him to be in the position he was. He had no right to be with her when he isn't accomplished yet and powerful enough to help her fight for the throne.

He tried to calm the scolding unhappy part of him with the excuse that he was also helping her with warmth since that was what she wanted most at this moment.

Rose tried over and over to see the face of the person who held her but she could not. She touched his face but the warmth and the drug pill of a scent that filled her nose immediately sent her mind into a dreamless sleep. She lost herself into the warmth and peace she felt from being held not caring about who those arms might belong to.

As Liam held her, he could not fight back the sleepy feeling he felt and immediately drifted off with his subconscious self praying and hoping either Charlie or Gray wakes him up before daybreak and that Edward does a good job of keeping everyone out till he is done helping the princess have good night rest.

Rose subconsciously touched the other side of the bed when she woke and surprisingly, it felt warm and the side she laid on was also warm. She lifted her head to see a hand sliding the door of her room shut.

She immediately jumped down from the bed and tried running to the door but a wave of dizziness hit her hard and she fell to the floor.

"Ouch!" she exclaimed due to the pain she felt in her leg from hitting it that hard against the marble floor of the room. She immediately missed the soft rug in her room back at home.

She got up almost immediately and ran to the door sliding it open but whoever it was had long gone. She gave herself a mental knock on her head when she realized it could be Anna. She shook her head embarrassed by the thought she had that it could be a man. How could it be a man?

"Rose you are really stupid," she scolded herself now blushing realizing that she had actually dreamt about lying in the arms of a man. She chuckled awkwardly.

When she got to the bed, she paused and the smile she now wore disappeared immediately and she frowned. The bed really had that male scent. She leaned down thinking she was thinking too much or hallucinating.

She inhaled but that scent got stronger the closer her face was to the bed.

"Hey what are you doing?" Anna asked when she walked into the room to see her sister leaning down inhaling deeply over and over again.

"Nothing," Rose snapped standing up awkwardly. "Where did you do to? Didn't you wake up now?"

"I was in the room for VVIP guests," Anna answered.

"Uh? What room?" Rose asked confused.

"A nurse told me last night that there was a room made available for the VVIP guests. The nurse said I could not sleep with you. The room was comfortable at least it was better than sleeping on the couch or squeezing ourselves in that bed," Anna said yawning. "I woke up too earlier to check out you. I will catch up on some sleep later."

Rose froze as her mind became a blend of different emotions. She did not find any of that crazy blend settling well with her. She ran to Anna and pulled her to the bed. Lifting the pillow, she pressed it on Anna's face.

"What are you doing?" Anna asked stepping back.

"Please does it smell strange?" Rose asked hoping the problem was in her imagination not reality.

"Mmm . . . It scents like a very expensive perfume. Like . . . rose . . . cedarwood . . . I smell spice. Spice and . . . I think . . ."

"That's enough," Rose said dropping the pillow on the bed and signed worriedly.

"Where did the scent come from? I smell your shampoo and another strange perfume?" Anna asked curiously.

"I don't know. I guess they use really expensive laundry agents," Rose said trying not be awkward as she smiled and went into the bathroom.

Anna glanced at her sister's back and picked up the pillow sniffing it like a dog. The scent made her look back again now at the closed door of the bathroom and frown. This could not be a laundry agent.
