"You're still with him, huh."
"Let him go. We're already happy together. You are such a nuisance in our relationship."
"Just wait, Elizabeth. Soon I'll be there, right behind you, to end your life."
Those words echoed in her mind throughout the day. It was ridiculous to think that a brave woman like her, who had gone through different tragic battles, was frightened by just a phone call. 'Who was that? That's just a phone call. Why am I so scared of it?' She thought as they both strolled on their way home.
"Riza, is there something wrong?" She was snapped out of her thoughts by Roy's voice.
"Oh,uh, nothing." She replied with a smile.
"But you don't look okay, Riza. Come on, tell me the truth. What's bothering you?" He asked again.
"Where were you last night?" She changed the topic by asking another question.
"I'm in my house, of course." He answered nervously.
"I called you last night but no one's answering the phone."
"Oh, maybe I was already asleep. You know work is very tiring and that's why I decided to sleep earlier." He lied.
"But these past few days, you stopped calling me. Why is that so?"
"Oh, did I? I-I'm sorry. I think I really slept so early these past few days." He lied again but this time, it convinced her."But I won't forget to call you later. I promise. And I'll be at your doorstep tomorrow at four in the morning."
She just smiled and nodded as they reached her house. She kissed him (as usual) and waved goodbye.

She had just finished eating when her phone rang. "It's Roy." She said happily but as she was about to lift the phone, her emotion changed.
"You're still with him, huh."
"Let him go. We're already happy together. You are such a nuisance in our relationship."
"Just wait, Elizabeth. Soon I'll be there, right behind you, to end your life."
She thought she had forgotten the phone call. She was snapped out of her thought by another ring of the phone.
"Hello?"
"Good evening "Baby"! It's me, Roy." He cheerfully greeted.
She laughed. "Hahaha! Baby?! You're so cheesy!" She was thankful Roy was true to his promise.
They spent the night talking about their pasts and funny things that happened that day. But she never told her about the roses and the phone call. She ended their conversation by saying she's already sleepy.

"Roy!" Everyone was surprised when Roy arrived at the construction site.
"I thought you'll be going to her house at four. You should be sleeping now." Maes yelled.
"Thanks for your concern but, I can't leave you here working while I'm lying on my bed." He reasoned.
"But you're already tired."
"You guys are tired, too, right? But you still keep on working. And I think I don't need sleep. I still have a lot of energy in my body! Now let me just help you." He insisted.
The other workers couldn't do anything but to obey him. He forced Maes to go home and ensure that he'll take care of everything. He worked with other men until he realized he had to go to Riza's house.

Riza was awoken by Black Hayate's loud barks. "Hmmm... What is it Hayate? Your master is still sleepy." She asked her dog as she rubbed her eyes.
Hayate ran out of her room and barked again. She tiredly followed her dog and realized that Hayate's barking to someone beyond her door while wagging his tail. She looked at the clock. It's past four in the morning. "Roy!" She hurriedly opened the door and found him sleepily standing at her doorstep.
"Good morning!" He greeted with a smile.
"G-good morning... W-why did you come here this e-early?!" She stuttered.
"I promised you I'll come here at four." He reminded. "I already saw two men passing at your house with bouquets of roses, and I told them to leave immediately or I'll burn their asses."
"What? You're so ruthless! You should have just told them to simply go away." She scolded him. "Come in."
"At last! I got the chance to get in her house!" He thought joyfully as he went into her house. She didn't notice the paper that Roy posted on her door before he entered.
Hey you! Yes you! I know you have those roses in your hands.
I'm in her house. Now don't you dare place your bouquet of junks at her doorstep or I'll search for you and turn you into ashes.

Riza brought her a cup of tea while he was sitting at the couch, patting Black Hayate's head. "Here, drink it. Please wait for me. I'll just prepare my stuffs and take a bath." The last words made him smirked. Unfortunately, Riza saw that smirk and figured out what was on his mind.
"I know what you're thinking." She glared at him.
"Huh?" He pretended to be innocent.
"Arghhh... Don't you dare sneak at the bathroom or I'll pull your eyeballs out of their sockets!" She warned him. His eyes widened and just nodded in response.
After preparing herself, they decided to go to office immediately. When they got out of her house, surprisingly, no one really left even a petal of rose on her doorstep. When she was about to lock the door she noticed the paper that was posted on it. She took and read it.
She chuckled. "You are such a good threat." She laughed so much that it pissed him.
"Yeah, yeah that's how I love you." He said plainly but she continued laughing.
She crumpled the paper and threw it in the thrash can. She then noticed the black roses in it that she found yesterday. "No black roses today. It's really good to have Roy with me." She thought.
The rest of the day turned out to be good. Roy did his paperwork nicely, no threats in phone calls, and no black roses. She came home safely. She did her usual routines; Roy called her again, and proceeded to sleep.
Just when she thought everything was peaceful, she heard Black Hayate barked. At first, she thought Roy was outside. But when she realized that Hayate's bark indicated his anger, she immediately took her gun and ran to the living room. She looked at the window but saw no one. Then, she heard a noise from her room. She rushed in there and surprised that the window in her room was broken. She ran towards the window and saw someone running away from her house. She didn't figure out if that's male or female because it was too dark outside. She looked behind and something on her bed caught her attention.
A note... and black roses scattered on her bed.
She read the note.
"You're lucky he was with you this morning."
"I just obeyed him not to place the bouquets on your doorstep, that's why I placed them on your bed."
"Why don't you sleep with those roses? If you do, I'm sure you'll have the longest sleep in your life."
