At The Westwood's Cottage:

Bella, after getting Ashley back to his men safely, she decided to enter alone by herself..

She stood in a dark spot with no cameras, took off the mask and shed a few tears for her friends.

"I'm sorry. I should have been the one to protect you all. I'm sorry. I don't know how and what I will answer Noah, but I will make sure to make those who killed you experience hell. I promise. Rest in peace my friends." She whispered, wiped her tears and got the mask back on.

"I don't care if that's you guys who got my friends killed or if it's someone else. But today I am venting it all out on you. Even if I have to die..." She said to herself and marched in.

First she came across the killing machines, the men just like those who had attacked them outside. She was quick to snap their heads. Then she crouched behind the door as she heard a couple of footsteps walking towards her.

Bella believed she was at disadvantage without knowing where the cameras were. Because if they could see her hiding, then she would have no chance to fight back.

After the footsteps faded away, Bella got out of her hiding place and made to sure avoid the cameras and break them from the blind spot. She managed to break atleast 10 cameras in the way.

Where the hell is the bedroom? She thought to herself as she moved as swift and light as a cat. She very carefully opened up every single room and checked for any possibilty of the antidote being there.

While going forward, she came across two large metal doors. She contemplated between breaking in and fighting head on and waiting and taking a note of the situation inside. Bella realised she always carried a pen camera with her..

She smiled wickedly and passed the camera pen from under the door and then took her phone out and checked over it.

Bella scoffed, "Huh!! Do you even know what's coming for you? Fools!!" And she smiled.

There were atleast 10 men inside and a man and a woman sitting on the couch sipping wine.

These must be Adrian's step-parents. They sure have looted him of everything. Well not anymore. Bella thought and she threw some needles with world's deadly poison on it towards the guards by opening the door a little.

The guards fell down as soon as they came in contact with the needles. All 10 were down. The couple looked a bit worried.

"Come out, I know you've beeen playing hide and seek ever since you have entered the mansion.." The man yelled from inside and Bella walked in opening the door wide.

"Hello, sh*theads, people like you sre always kept for me to clean up. Well, since you know I have been playing around, you must know the one who sent me too." Bella asked them with a scoff.

"Of course, my son tends to find some fools to steal the antidote. Many have come and many have died over the years. But Adrian has to die. And he will." The woman said in a sultry voice.

"That's for not keeping your mouth shut, you wh*re." Bella said and flicked her hand. A needle instantly hit the woman's neck and she went all blue coughed blood and dead!

The man pushed her down with a kick and then got up and dusted his clothes. "Thanks for making my work easier." The man said and then  out of nowhere shot Bella in her leg.

Bella fell on her knees holding the leg where he had been shot. She knew the consequences of being injured and now if the bleeding isn't stopped, she would bleed to death for sure. It was also the first time in years that she was injured.

"You b*stard, you think you can keep me down with those bullets?" Bella asked and unleashed her full powers. For once, she thanked the killers of her parents for injecting that whatsoever medicine it was into her.

She lounged at the man and held the hand with guns. She shot all the bullets to one side and also the few men who rushed in hearing the gunshot. She held the man in a chokehold and squeezed his neck as hard as she could.

The man got his hand to her wound and pressed hard on it.

"Arrgghhh...!!!" Bella yelled and snapped the man's head.

Now both were dead for sure. She tore a piece of cloth from the table besides and wrapped it around the wound. Then she got up with much strength and looked for the antidote.

While searching she came across a small box with a code on it. She broke the box and inside was a small bottle with a medicine name on it. She looked it up on the internet on her phone and found out that was what she was looking for.

She had entered the house, not alerted anyone, but it was because she was allowed to come in. She killed the two people and other several guards, but still going out wasn't easy.

She opened up the window and looked down. It wasn't too high up or deep. She could easily jump down and she did. But then she heard some voices.

"Did you get anything on them?" One man asked and the other replied, "Nope, nothing. Just the weapons that Adrian's men had just left them with. Good, so all are dead. What about that person Black Rose?" He asked and the first guy replied.

"All dead. Black Rose?? He must be dead too considering that Adrian himself called the police chief and asked him to cooperate." The first man replied and then both went silent as if noticed something.

Bella knew not to move, but then blood splashed over the window. She knew something was wrong. So she quickly ran out. She remembered something she had seen earlier at the gateway, not far from her car. Explosives!!

She ran down and got some explosives and threw them in the direction of the mansion one by one. Unfortunately one of the blasts had a very large impact and Bella had forgotten to brace herself. She flew at a distance and fell on the ground. She hit her head hard.

Still she managed to get up and call home. Ian picked up and he panicked, but there was Noah who took the call from him and spoke calmly to Bella.

"Princess, find some place to hide first and I will find some people to help you. Don't worry about anything, okay? And keep your phone on. Try and be awake. I promise, I will get you out of there soon as possible." Noah assured her.

"Noah, my team, all are dead. They were killed. I managed to survive because I wasn't in the room. Ashley is dead too. I have the antidote, I will try to pass it over to someone to hand it to Adrian and then find a place to hide. Till then, very quickly, get me out of here." Bella pleaded.

"I promise you, Princess." Noah said and hung up.

Bella felt some fluid running down her head, so she touched it only to see blood running down her face. She managed to get to her car and get some bandages and bandage her head as tight as possible to stop the bleeding. For now the bullet in her leg was preventing the wound from bleeding so she didn't dare touch it.

Bella took a rest for a few minutes and although she was feeling very dizzy, she drove and reacched Adrian's mansion. She went over to the men gaurding the gate.

"Here, this is the antidote, give it to Adrian. And this as well. Tell him, he owes me one." And with that she left.

The guard rushed up and handed the bottle to Adrian. "Boss, somebody gave this. And this black rose as well. The person said you owe him one."

Adrian took the bottle and took a sharp breathe.. Klaus patted his shoulder and asked, "What is it?" And Adrian handed him the bottle.

"The antidote?" Klaus's eyes went wide and he looked at Adrian looking at the black rose.

"Black Rose!!" Klaus whispered and Adrian nodded.

Suddenly 2 men came running in and out of breathe, "Boss, the.. mansion.." And he stopped.

"What happened? The mansion? What mansion?" He asked and the men just turned on the TV.

And both Klaus and Adrian were stunned and shocked at the view in front of them.

I can't really thank you enough, but yeah, I owe you one.... Black Rose..
