It was like an ordinary morning. You wake up to see the sun shining through your window and the glare from it makes you close your eyes, almost as fast as you open them. Most peopleawake with the feel of a nice warm body or at least a furry friend laying next to them.
Rogue awakes to an empty bed whenit comes to having a man lying next to her; it must have been over three years since she split up with her boyfriend. His mane was Brooke and even now she cannot get over him. He was the first man that she had ever fallen deeply in love with and because of a little on-night stand he had with her big sister Debbie, things started to change.
In the end she made the decision to dump him and continue alone. And the only warmth from a body she gets from sharing a bed comes from her big black panther called Willow.
She saved willow when she was a tiny cub in China. He was in the market for sale as meat and medicinal purposes and the moment his eyes met hers, she was in love again and knew that she had to buy him and save his life from the fate that awaited him. Besides, he would become very useful in time as a guardian to protect her. Willow wasn’t the only cub she had brought that day. She brought tigers, cheetahs and leopards and set them free in the wild when they were old enough to survive alone, like her.
it was that week that she had lost her parents. They were tragically killed in a car accident. She arrived home to the airport to be greeted by her younger sister, Raven and the family friend, Carl.
The moment she had set her eyes on them, the feeling of dread ate at her insides. It was not likethem to come and meet her at the airport, but this day was different.
As soon as they were away from the public eyes, in the back of there grand limousine, her friends told her everything. it was almost as though her world had just crashed around her.
She then decided to live for the moment each day, as it comes, so to speak. Whats the point of being rich and not travelling? she now travels the world looking for adventure and that is how her adventure’s started.

PART 1

Rogue opened her eyes and turned over. Willow was lying next to her on the bed; his great warm furry body was out-stretched and he laid as long as the bed itself, happily purring away. The sun beamed through the wondpw and hit her eyeswith such brightness that Rogue had to cover them; she groaned, annoyed. Once she had got her eyes used to the glare, she sat upin bed and smelt the air, coffee was brewing from down in the galley of her yacht, just as she like it, first thing. she stroked Willow and smiled.
“So what put you in a good mood this morning, Willow baby?”
the cat raised his head at the sound of his name and looked at her, his eyes showed the affection he had for her, a small knock disturbed the purring silence; it was Maggie the maid.
“Come in, it’s alright.”
the door opened and in came a little woman carrying a small tray with a cup of steaming hot coffee on top and a few biscuits for willow.
“Good morning, miss. how are you this beautiful morning? the weather is sunny and warm and i think that you should get up and have a swim before you start your day. It’ll get the blood circulating around your body and you’ll be fit for anything.”
“Maybe your right Maggie. I do feel like a good swim.”
she took the cup from herand took a sip of its hot reviving contents, she closed her eyes to feel the coffee’s sweet taste go down her throat.
“You make the most gorgous coffee first thing in the morning Maggie.”
“Well i got to get you awake somehow, haven’t i?”
Rogue smiled. she would not know what to do if she had never employed Maggie. She had always been there for her; sh eis the best of friends. she watched Maggie go over to her wardrobe and get out her jeans and blue mini shirt.
“I take it you’ll be wearing these again today miss? i think that i’ll get them ironed for you before you go out in public in these. We don’t want people thinking that i don’t
