That's when she remembered.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS AUNT PHENNYA-"

She tried to hit the bodyguards,

She luckily hit right into their weak spot and freed herself...

"Oh my...pulling quite the fight just like your father...'my daughter is gonna inherit this money, you'll have to get over me first before getting to her' did he say?"

She then pulled the only ace she had up her sleeve...

The gun she was given.

"DROP THAT BEFORE I SHOOT"

She tried to aim at all the three people standing in front of her...

"All right you got me." The aunt tossed the knife down.

"Tell me more."

"Aren't you a rude one...fine, I'll only tell you once, so make sure you keep your ears wide open~"

"Was this gun...your gift?"

"My gift to a filthy animal like you? Hah...you wish."

Rose was left speechless for a moment she didn't expect that answer

She was so sure that her aunt was the only one who could've done this...

So she remained the main suspect,

"Then...THEN WHO?!

She stuttered,

"UNCLE? GRANDMA? MY NIECES?"

She was shaking trying to point right at her aunt with that gun,

"Oh my...look at the time...we're an hour away from Christmas..."

"SHUT UP!!!"

The huge elegant clock standing above their heads that was ticking showed that it was almost 12pm.

But Rose didn't seem to care much, her holidays were already ruined.

"Would truly a young girl like you dare to kill her aunt without seeking for more answers?"

Rose was shaking from all that pressure, she decided to carefully lower the gun,'

"The answer is way too obvious than you think...but you know what's more obvious?"

She paused her dramatic monologue,

"The fact you never supsected him even though he was right in front of you all along...

He was hired by your father and used to be his co-worker....of course he'd want to take his place..."

She started supiciously walking back towards something...

"No...we've been together for almost a year..."

"Do you believe HIM over your own blood?"

Now that Rose thought about it clearer...

His aim was flawless back at the gun prize game...

Could he really have done that...?

"Now he's looking to kill YOU...YOU FILTHY RAT! THE SAME WAY HE KILLED YOUR FATHER"

"STOP!"

Rose shooted with her eyes closed

She could only hear the bang and once she slowly opened her eyes she could only see the fire leftovers from the bullet...

She turned out succesfully hitting her target...

Her aunt was bleeding a lot.

The two bodyguards rushed towards her...

The red mixed with her bloody red dress made the blood stains seem unclear...

Rose started crying and panicking

She thought what have I done...

Why am I doing this...

Only the worst could come up her mind...

She immediately rushed out the house but she was surrounded by many strange looking cars and huge piles of snow,

She was shaking from the cold,

Little did she know her aunt had connection with the fbi agencies...to apparently save her...

But she forgot that her father was no longer the one taking over...someone else was now in charge all thanks to her,

But Phennya was just a wrinkly greedy demon...

No one was clearing up her bad sins anymore in there,

She was so scared of what would happen to her...

But then, someone familiar came out of one of those cars...

Someone who rushed over towards her

She was still in shock so she didn't realize that person was happy to see her, hugging her tightly ,

It was Mario,

All along he had indeed been part of her father's co-working team,

That was the only time her aunt had truly nolt lied to her...

But turned out all the footprints found on her father's house were from the aunt and not him.

Her mind was all too blurry causing her fear...

She was no innocent however,

But her boyfriend covered for her...

That gift was actually...

"Merry Christmas, Rose."

His.

He helped her get rid of a huge weight that she had to carry on her shoulders,

Or did he?

"Mario, you're a good kid, please take care of my daughter...make sure that bitch won't harm her..."

"Yes, sir."

That was his last command.
