Rosalie scoffed. “In that case, why did you come looking for me? Who are you trying to show care for? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll roll over in her grave?”As always, Cynthia was always coming in between them.Bitter pain billowed in Theodore’s eyes as he stared at the woman before him. He remained silent, but his eyes spoke of an intense mix of complicated emotions.“Didn’t you make me choose?” Theodore pinched her chin, and went on, “I’m making myself clear now. I choose you. As for Cynthia, you don’t need to care about her. I’ll bear all the consequences, because everything's my fault!”Rosalie shut her eyes in pain. “Theo, it’s too late. Making your choice now…it’s all too late!”Sorrow spread from her heart to her head, and she couldn’t help but sob bitterly. “Don’t cry.”Seeing her bursting into tears made Theodore anxious. He hurriedly wiped her tears away, but they kept flowing.“Why would it be too late? Are you still angry over what I said before? I didn’t mean them
Rosalie had never seen Theodore in such a crazed state. He was like a madman in a state of delirium, yet the emotions in his eyes looked so raw and genuine.“I don’t understand, I really don’t. Why are you doing this? You think I don’t love you, but have you loved me over these ten years? Have you ever…” “I love you!” Theodore yelled at the top of his voice. Hot, scalding tears trickled down his cheeks. He dragged Rosalie into his arms, wishing he could fold her into his body and become one with her.“How could I not? I never wanted to treat you like a sister! I didn’t mean that one bit! You’re my wife. Why wouldn’t I love my wife?”He closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of her body and smelling the comforting scent of her hair. He loved her smell, and hadn’t hugged her or been so close to her since they were divorced.He wanted to hug her like this till the end of time. He really missed her, so much that he almost went mad.That was why he came looking for her.He couldn’t
Theodore tore his suit away and flung it on the floor before pouncing on Rosalie. He trapped her arms by her sides to keep her still. “Theodore Spencer, Sebastian and I…”“Don’t mention his name!” Theodore covered her mouth roughly with his hand. “I don’t want to hear it!”He moved his hand away, and kissed her hard once more. He hated hearing that man’s name from her lips. It made him go mad with jealousy. He saw it for himself how natural she was when with Sebastian, which was unlike how she was always with him.What made him more furious was mistakenly thinking that the favor she did for Sebastian was for him. Why? Why couldn’t his ten years of relationships with Rosalie compare with Sebastian? He refused to take it lying down! He and Rose used to be each other’s closest kin, leading the happiest lives they could as husband and wife! He should be the only one so close to her, and no one else! Rosalie’s resistance proved futile against his aggressive attacks. Her mind
“I’m not lying. You’ve seen it for yourself. This is why I’m telling you that it’s too late! I’m already married to Sebastian!” Rosalie cried.Even though her marriage to him was a sham, she wasn’t going to immediately divorce Sebastian just because Theodore asked to remarry her. How could she marry Theodore again?What’s more, it was unnecessary for him to know that her marriage to Sebastian was a facade.“You two…have registered your marriage?” Theodore stared at her in disbelief, wanting to confirm her final answer and hoping against hope that she would tell him no.Alas, things often don’t go according to one’s wishes. Rosalie nodded her head, a painful expression on her face. “Yes, we just registered our marriage today. It’s too late between us, Theo. Didn’t you promise Cynthia you’d marry her? Go ahead. She was in the picture from day one. Everything you’ve said since then involved her, without fail.”“No!” Theodore exclaimed, agitated. “How could you marry Sebastian?
However, no one came to the door even after a long time had passed. Sebastian pressed the doorbell a few more times. “Rose, are you there?”No one answered from inside the door.“Theodore, let me go!” Rosalie heard Sebastian’s voice outside, and hurriedly tried to push Theodore away. However, fire burned in Theodore’s eyes upon realizing that Sebastian was here.“What are you scared of? That he’ll see us like this? Oh, I almost forgot. You’re married to him, and you’re his wife now!”A wicked look flashed past Theodore’s eyes, something that Rosalie had never seen before.“Since you know that, let me go! Theodore, I’m begging you!”“Begging me? Hah…” Theodore chuckled. “Rose, can I beg you to remarry me then?”“Why must you force me like this?”“Me, forcing you?” Theodore said through gritted teeth. “It’s all Sebastian’s fault! If it weren’t for him, things between us wouldn’t have become like this. This is all his fault!” He started yelling wildly. “Wouldn’t it be inte
Rosalie looked up, and cried, “I did it willingly! I did it all willingly! Please stop fighting!”That was the only thing she could say to stop them from fighting, for fear of the consequences that might be dire.Sebastian looked at her in shock. “What did you say?”Rosalie wiped the tears from her face. “I… I told him to come. Things aren’t what you think they are. I was a willing party.”Theodore wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, and looked at the fury etched on Sebastian’s face. He scoffed, his eyes tinged with smugness.He stepped forward, and pulled Rosalie into his arms. “Darling, don’t cry. We’ll go home. Don’t let him ruin our mood.”“Spencer, let her go!”Sebastian was about to step forward when Rosalie yelled, “Enough!” She pushed Theodore aside, and stood in between both men. “I’m begging you two!”“Rose, did he force you into it? Tell me the truth! Don’t be scared, I’ll help you!” Sebastian said. He refused to believe that was the case. Rosalie definitely
“Rose! He called you cheap!” Theodore snarled. He forbade anyone to call her that!Rosalie turned to look at Sebastian. “He’s right, I am cheap. You’ve seen it for yourself.”She held Theodore’s hand. “My heart remains with him despite divorcing him. I can’t help myself. I’ve made my choice.”Rosalie’s hands were trembling, and Theodore’s heart ached for her. He pulled her into a tight embrace.He knew why she said that—she didn’t want them fighting. He wasn’t going to add fuel to fire and backfire her efforts. He decided to seek out Sebastian privately without her in the picture. Whatever it was, he couldn’t have Rosalie taking the blame for this. To Rosalie, Theodore’s arms felt like thorny vines.Yet, she couldn’t push him away. Otherwise, it would contradict what she just said. “Rosalie Young, you’re such a disappointment!” Sebastian spat. What truly broke him were the words she uttered just now. She still had feelings for Theodore, and he couldn’t doubt it.Sebastian c
Theodore had no words for Rosalie’s outburst. He stood outside the door with one hand on the door. He rested his forehead weakly against the back of his hand on the door, and sighed.He said helplessly, “Fine, I’ll go. I’ll give you some time to calm down, but this isn’t the end of it. I won’t stand idly by and watch you and Sebastian live your days as a married couple.”Rosalie opened the door, and yelled at his retreating figure, “Theodore Spencer, what are you going to do to Sebastian? I’m telling you—if you dare hurt him, I’ll never forgive you!”Theodore had gone far, but he heard Rosalie’s warning. He clenched his fists as fire raged in his heart.Rosalie returned to her room, and hurriedly called Sebastian. The call went through, but he didn’t answer it. Instead, he hung up immediately.He was probably furious right now.She knew she had disappointed him greatly.Sebastian had been a good friend to her, sticking to her side all the way, helping her, taking care of her and
