บท 76: Caught in the act

Rosa couldn't sleep after she heard what her grandfather said. They want to arrange her marriage just as they did for her cousin Amelia who married a man she didn't love and who also didn't love her back. She thought of calling Leonardo to let him know the situation of things in her house but decided against it. Who knows if her brother had installed some kind of listening and spying devices to monitor her activities.

Who did her grandfather have in mind for her to get married to? She wondered and kept turning restlessly, here and there on her bed till she finally drifted off to sleep. The time was some minutes before nine when her eyes fluttered open. She immediately sat up in bed and ran into her bathroom when she saw the time on her bedside table.
