Liam paused outside the door when he heard what she said about taking a picture. He was very surprised and confused. Why will she wish she took a picture when he was clearly angry that she wanted to put herself on the front line in the battle when he was willing to be her shield? 

Must people will not give it a second thought before agreeing with him. But he understood why she did not want him to do that for her and that reason was very cruel to him. He knew she did not trust him but hearing it directly from her lips, it actually felt very hurtful. 

He sighed and went down stairs as he pulled his phone from his pocket and called Grey to prepare the security in and around the bank ready for her arrival. He blamed himself when Rose got hurt in the restaurant that was why he did not hesitate to be her donor when he found out that they were compatible. 

Not even caring about his own health, he gave her what he could offer her at that moment to ensure that she does not die or repeat what he travelled through time to prevent.

The bank was well secured when Rose and Liam arrived on the rooftop in his helicopter and they went to the safe through a private elevator and a private route which was specifically made for VIP customers. When Rose finally stepped into the safe, she gasped at the sight that welcomed her into the large safe with its shelves occupied with bars of gold and the floor covered equally with only a passage left. 

She turned and looked at Liam who followed her to the safe. 

"Why do you think my mother left them in a bank and not a safe somewhere else? Perhaps your father could have bought a house and buried the gold in the foundation of the house or anywhere else?" she asked him as she walked through the passage looking around for the secret message her mother might have left for her in the safe. 

"I don't know. I know that she only asked my father to do that and she chose the bank she wanted. She also picked this branch. I had my men search the building for any clue she might have left but we found nothing. I also checked the data base of this bank and the staff but I found nothing related to you mother and her disappearance. 

"This was the reason why I thought it will be good for you to come yourself. You are her daughter and you know her better than I do. I am sure if she left any message, it might not be only in this safe but I did not find something but I think you will be able to find something. Should I leave you?"

"Yes," she replied although she did not think it was necessary but since he brought it up, she decided to agree with it. He must have taken what she said about not trusting him seriously.

"Then, I will be outside waiting for you," he told her before stepping out of the safe and closed the door behind. He felt she must not feel comfortable in his presence while searching for a clue her mother left for her since she did not trust him.

"Mum, please," she moaned as she rubbed her face. It suddenly felt stuffy in the room with Liam gone. She did not like this feeling at all. Knowing that her mother was here shortly before she died, it made her very emotional. 

She touched a gold bar on the shelf and the dust on it made her confirm that no one has entered this place since her mother. She was the first person meaning whatever clue her mother might have left for her should still be in here waiting for her to find. 

She stepped back from the shelf and the gold bars on the floor and looked at them all from afar. "Tell me something," she begged as she watched them all for a while accessing every single gold bar her eyes could see looking for a pattern or whatever could be hidden on for her eyes to see. 

She tried to remember what it was like with her mother a week before her mother got kidnapped. She groaned as her frustration began building up making her chest feel so tight and suffocating. 

"If you knew you were going to get killed, why did you not leave a message for me? I actually believed that you would leave something more than money for me. If you did then where is it?" she asked as her eyes slowly began getting misty and the tears slowly began running down her smooth cheeks down. 

She felt she shouldn't feel that way but she did not know why she was reacting in such a manner. Was it the fact that she was locked in the safe alone? She was clearly fine when Liam was with her. Fragments of her began flashing before her eyes but she could not put her hands fully on anyone. They were just scattered images she could not understand. 

Amidst those images, she saw a gold bar. She saw a gold bar on her mother's vanity table. A unique gold bar but being the fast time she was seeing a gold bar then, she concluded that it was not really unique. 

She was not sure if what she actually saw was her memories or she was creating new memories to satisfy the feeling of fruitlessness she was feeling since after half an hour of looking around the safe, she could not find anything. Some of her memories were actually still lost but she was not aware of what was missing among the memories she now had. 

"Mum, what is this?" a little Rosaline asked her mother. 

"This? It is a gold bar," the beautiful Queen replied as she turned and looked her beautiful curious daughter with a small smile. 

"Gold? Did they make your crown out of it?" little Rosaline asked as she reached to touch the gold bar but her mother was quick to pick it up. "I want it."

"This one is a fake. How about I give you a real gold bar later?"
