Chapter 60: Chapter 60"You were to tell me about all the men you have seen Rose around. Have you forgotten our deal already?" Mathias asked, admiring the view of Silvia lying on her bed. "I hope you have not wasted my time as I will need to leave and have you take someone else."

    Silvia rolled to lay flat on her stomach. "You must forgive me. I was distracted by a wonderful man. You appeared angry by something from the moment you came. Does it have something to do with Rose?"

    "Part of it does. She is the bane of my existence these days. I am yet to see why so many men have joined to search for her. Is she that wonderful at her duty to have them be so desperate to find her and keep her to themselves?" Mathias wondered.

    Or was Graham so desperate that he added a reward?

    Silvia regretted bringing up Rose now. This man here belonged to her so she would not have him interested in knowing what a night with Rose was like. "Many of them may want to please Graham or maybe she has seduced all of them so they are fighting to save her not knowing she has fooled them all."

    "If you find her, would you bed her?" Silvia asked.

    Mathias brought a cup to his lips and swallowed the strong liquor. He didn’t have feelings for Rose like Alexander did but from what he saw the two times she stood before him, she was pretty. She worked in a brothel house so she had to serve its customers no matter if she didn’t like who it was.

    Maybe all it would take for him to understand why everyone liked her so much was to bed her. He would like to see her cry. It would be exciting to know that it was him who caused the tears and she wouldn’t have Alexander to come save her.

    Silvia pouted. "I am hurt that you would want to bed her when you have me. Rose cannot please you like I can. She hardly knows how to touch a man while I have perfected how to please a man."

    "Hmm. Your great experience with men might be why they are so interested in Rose who I know who was only touched by Graham. She didn’t have lovers, did she? I know that as his favourite she was off-limit from other customers. You cannot keep secrets from me," said Mathias.

    Mathias noticed how she could never keep her stories right about Rose.

    Silvia looked away from him. What she said wasn’t exactly a lie. "You have not seen Rose for a long time. I know her better than you do and I do not want you to be fooled. I hope one of you will be successful in bringing her back. I want to see if her time away was worth it. Now, come back to bed."

    "It is time that I take my leave-"

    "You promised to spend the night so I would not take any more customers," Silvia said, sitting up. She was not interested in entertaining anyone else. She had a new plan of getting one man smitten by her and being off limits to other customers like Rose was with Graham. "You must stay.’

    Mathias laughed as he stood up, picking up his coat. "It is funny how a whore tries to tell me what to do. I make the rules here and I say that it is time to leave. If you don’t like it, leave this place and make your status far greater than mine to have me bow to you."

    Mathias liked the way she could not respond to him. She could only sit and glare at him for not keeping her foolish promise. Not everyone could be like him to escape a place like this and return with a better status.

    "I will come tomorrow and when I do, there should be a smile present," said Mathias.

    Mathias opened the shabby door and walked outside, putting on his coat as he did so. He didn’t make it far before Graham blocked his path. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Graham smiled, appearing friendly but this appearance scared Mathias. "Oh, what a sight it is that the man I trusted to find Rose is here, sleeping around with one of the other women. While I enjoy more money coming into my pockets I gave you a fucking task to find Rose. Has my silence given you the wrong idea?"

    "My soldiers are still searching-"

    "I don’t own your soldiers. I own you. You need to be the person ahead of them to search for her or should I have my guards here give you a little motivation to get you to keep searching? Rufus here doesn’t mind spending time with a man. Would you like to get acquainted?" Graham asked.

    Too much time had passed since Rose was out of his hands. Someone else could be reaping the benefits of what he grew over the years.

    "I have searched all around the town and even the mountains but there is not a sign of her. She might be dead or you must consider that the foreigners stole from you," Mathias said, wanting to distract Graham. "On the other side of this mountain is their camp. They were there that night. I do not understand why you do not consider them."

    Graham had started to consider that Zayne had stolen from him. His joke that Zayne was interested in men was still only a joke and he could not forget how Zayne disobeyed him when he said not to look at Rose. Zayne and his soldiers had not been back since that night.

    "I can go to them," Mathias offered.

    "No. I am tired of sending idiots to bring her back to me. If she is not there, then prepare to be the one to take customers. Until it is revealed that someone else took her, you are my first suspect. And do not think of running. I have become quite close to your commander," Graham said and then turned around.

    "If you want to keep me from hurting you, leave now to find Rose."

    Graham walked away with his guards trailing behind him. He should have found it suspicious earlier that Zayne and the others were no longer coming to him. He balled up his hand, angered by the fact someone came into his brothel and took something precious from him.

    Graham had opened his doors to Zayne when others were still afraid of foreigners and this was how he was repaid? "Find out where those soldiers are staying and have my horses ready to take me there in the morning."
