April 1912:
Rose looked at Ruth, Molly and Caledon as she stood by the lifeboats on the sinking ship of Titanic. Rose looked at them with horror, yes for the first time ever, she was seeing Ruth and Caledon for what they TRULY were—MONSTERS. She looked at Ruth with a slight smirk.
"Goodbye mother." Rose said before turning to walk away.
"Rose! Rose wait! Where are you going! Rose! Rose!" Ruth yelled hysterically as the boats began lowering away.
Caledon ran after Rose quickly.
"Wait, where are you going!" Caledon yelled as he grabbed her arm. "Where—to him! To be a whore to a gutter rat!"
Rose looked at him with utter disgust, after years of severe abuse from him that was all she had for him now—disgust.
"I'd rather be HIS whore than YOUR wife." Rose said strongly before turning to walk away.
Caledon pulled her back towards him violently.
"No!" Caledon yelled angrily.
Rose tried to pull away from him and walk away.
"No! I said NO!" Caledon yelled.
Just then, Rose remembered what Jack had told her. She gathered up all the saliva she had in her mouth and spit it directly into Caledon's face, and as Caledon looked at her with utter shock and let her arm go, she went running down the deck. There Caledon stood, looking in shock and surprise as he wiped her saliva off his face. He was shocked. Why was she treating him this way? Why didn't she WANT him? He had no idea that the reason was because he was abusive and controlling towards her and that, that was NOT how women were to be treated. He had no idea that that was the REASON Rose didn't want him any longer. His brainwashed ideas on women and on those who weren't of his stature caused him to lose the woman he'd loved, the second woman he loved, besides the first woman, who was Natalia when he was eighteen. This was the final blow to Caledon Hockley. Losing Rose Bukater-Dawson was the final blow to Caledon, the blow that would eventually follow with fatal events in the year 1929.
