Author: Night Revelations
Yuvan straightened up and said, "There are typos in the documents. I need to take them back for corrections, sorry."

Rosalie fell silent. Typos?

For a moment, she had thought things would turn around for her. Hah... she was still clinging to ridiculous fantasies.

After Yuvan left, Rosalie returned to her room. She didn't know how she had endured this day. She had eaten lunch and dinner properly. She hadn't experienced severe morning sickness yet, but perhaps due to excessive sadness or overeating, she vomited particularly violently that night.

She cried while vomiting. In the end, she curled up on the floor as she trembled violently.

It was almost midnight. In the past, if Theodore had something to do and couldn't return home by ten o'clock, he would always call her to let her know where he was. It looked like he wouldn't be doing it anymore.

Suddenly, a ringtone echoed through the room.

As the ringtone echoed louder and clearer, Rosalie’s ears perked up. She scrambled up from the floor and dashed out of the bathroom, grabbing her phone from the bed.

She checked the caller ID to see it read: [Theo Honey].

A bright smile instantly came to her face. Wiping her tears, she took a deep breath and cleared her throat before answering the phone.

"Hello?"

"Why didn't you reply to my message today?"

Theodore sounded somewhat gloomy, like he was interrogating her. Rosalie hadn't expected him to ask that.

"Yuvan had already arrived, so I didn't reply. I didn't think it was necessary," she replied softly.

"Is that so?" The man's voice was calm yet oppressive. "It's gotten to the point where you don't think it's necessary to reply to my messages anymore? It's no wonder you laughed so happily when you were about to sign the papers today."

Rosalie clenched her fists, her palms sweating. Yuvan must have told him.

"I..." she stuttered.

Before she could respond, he asked, "Are you happy that we're getting a divorce?"

Rosalie fell silent, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" he asked again.

Although his voice sounded calm, Rosalie felt a compelling force behind it.

"I... I was just happy that you gave me so much. I didn't expect you to be so generous," Rosalie blurted out, grasping for any reason.

Theodore suddenly fell silent.

After a while, he finally said, "You've been with me for a year and gave me everything you had. I couldn't shortchange you."

Rosalie raised her hand to cover her mouth, desperately trying to keep her tears from spilling over.

"Thank you. Yuvan said there were some typos in the papers today, so I haven't signed them yet," she said.

Fearing Theodore would be displeased at this, she quickly added, "Don't worry. As soon as the documents are fixed, I'll sign them immediately."

She was afraid he would think she was deliberately dragging things out.

"I know. The divorce papers need some further adjustments. There are some procedural issues with the properties involved, so it might take a few more days. But those properties will still be yours. Once everything is sorted out, you won't have any further trouble with them,” Theodore replied.

Rosalie felt stifled. They had known each other for over a decade, and he thought she only cared about money?!

"Tell me if you want anything else," Theodore said. "Apart from these material things, I can't offer you anything else."

If Rosalie clenched her hands any tighter, her nails would pierce her palms.

Couldn't he give her a complete family? Rosalie wished she could ask that of him. Sometimes, his kindness made her believe he cared about her.

As she caressed her stomach, a surge of courage came over her. Were the typos in the divorce papers today a sign? Even if he didn't want her, she wanted him to know about this child's existence.

"Where are you now?" Rosalie asked.

"Do you need something?" Theodore countered, avoiding a direct answer.

"Theo, I'm-"

Before Rosalie could finish, she heard a woman's voice coming from Theodore's side of the call.

"Theo, I've filled the bathtub with warm water. Come and take a bath."

The soft and pleasant voice was terribly ill-timed.

Theo has feelings for her but he’s waiting on her to tell him first. He’s testing her. She doesn’t have any other family but the crazy drunk aunt.

    Rosalie's mind suddenly went blank."You're what?" Theodore asked.Rosalie closed her eyes in despair. Earlier today, he had accused her of being impatient to sever ties with him, insisting they were not divorced yet. But clearly, he was the one who was eager to be with Cynthia!"I'm tired. I'm going to sleep."The cruel reality shattered Rosalie's courage. She could never match up to Cynthia. She wasn't even worthy of being the other woman’s opponent because, to Theodore, Cynthia was the only one for him.To think Rosalie still wanted to salvage this marriage. It was truly laughable!"Alright. Get some sleep." Theodore's voice remained indifferent, devoid of any discernible emotion.After ending the call, Rosalie collapsed on the bed and wept bitterly."Theo, I’m two months pregnant," she muttered.-The next day, Rosalie woke up feeling groggy. Checking the time, she noted it was already noon. Her body felt sore as she got out of bed. Just as she finished washing up, the ph

    In the evening, Rosalie went to a restaurant alone and ordered a meal, forcing herself to eat something for the sake of her unborn child. Her plan was to return to her room after dinner and concoct a story to tell Rebecca the next day, to reassure the old woman that she and Theodore had spent a wonderful night together.Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure not far away, walking out of the restaurant.Cynthia?Accompanying her were a man and a woman. The three of them chatted, shook hands, and walked out together.But where was Theodore?"Miss, sorry to disturb you. Are you alone?" a waiter asked.Rosalie snapped out of her thoughts. "Yeah. Do you need something?""There's a gentleman who wants to dine here, but there's a queue of waiting guests and limited seating. So, may I ask if you would be willing to share your table with him? If not, it's okay."Rosalie turned her head and saw a well-dressed man not far away. He looked quite handsome and elegant."It's fine," Rosalie repl

    Rosalie frowned, seeming a bit impatient. "Do you need something else?"She was clearly innocent and heartbroken because of her husband. However, her husband's friend was treating her as if she were the one having an affair."Sharing a table? A handsome man and a beautiful woman, one dressed to the nines and the other in a sharp suit, just happened to both come to this restaurant alone. Then, there just happened to be no seats, so you shared a table. Do you think I'm stupid?"Sebastian stepped forward to explain, "I really don't know this lady. You're misunderstanding the situation.""I wasn't talking to you. Shut up!" Caleb said bluntly.Sebastian remained calm, his expression unusually cool."You're very rude," Rosalie said with a deep frown. "Believe it or not, the facts remain the same.""That's easy to say! Rosalie, do you even know that Theo's... " Caleb paused and glanced at the man next to him. "Do you have something else to say?"Sebastian smiled and politely excused h

    "Is anyone else inside?"Rosalie was very worried that Cynthia was there. If they bumped into each other, it would be awkward.Caleb frowned. "Who do you think would be inside?"Rosalie pursed her lips. "Never mind."Caleb gave her a cold glance and walked in. As soon as Rosalie entered, a strong smell of alcohol hit her.Theodore was lying on a windowsill not far away. He had one leg hanging over the edge, almost falling out, and there were all sorts of bottles and broken glasses on the floor!"How did you get all the way there?!" Caleb exclaimed.He rushed over and pulled Throdore's dangling leg off the windowsill, then pushed his friend into the room, fearing he would fall and get hurt.Caleb turned his head and looked at Rosalie, who was in a daze."Why are you just standing there? Come over here and help me!""Oh...!"Rosalie put down her bag and ran over immediately.Theodore reeked of alcohol, and half his shirt buttons were undone. The completely drunk man was frown

    Bam!Theodore threw Caleb to the ground and started punching him continuously, causing a visible trickle of blood to ooze from the corner of Caleb's mouth!"Theodore, are you nuts?!" Caleb yelled, not fighting back against his good friend and only defending himself."Caleb, how dare you touch her!" Theodore roared.With his bloodshot eyes, he resembled a rabid beast! Even Caleb was taken aback by his appearance."Theo, you've got it all wrong!"Bam!Theodore threw another punch! Caleb couldn't take it anymore."Theodore Spencer, are you blind?! Do you even know what she did to you?"Caleb flipped over and wrestled with Theodore. The fight was fierce, as both men were strong, well-built, and trained regularly. The sober Caleb made sure to pull his punches when he struck, but Theo was drunk and didn't hold back at all.Rosalie was frantic as she watched the two men rolling towards the broken glass on the ground."Stop it!" she yelled.Rosalie rushed over and attempted to pull

    So, Theodore had only intervened because he thought Caleb was bullying Cynthia?Rosalie was indeed naive, ridiculously so!Despite her efforts to hold back her tears, she couldn’t stop some from falling. Wiping them away, she smiled faintly."It's okay. We were wrong from the beginning. This incident doesn't make any difference."At her words, the atmosphere suddenly plunged into a terrifying stalemate.Caleb felt like he had nowhere to hide. He glanced around and even considered jumping out of the window. It was too awkward!After a long silence, Rosalie spoke again, "I don't know why you drank so much. Maybe you were too happy. Anyway, we're getting divorced, so I have no right to intervene. I'm leaving."Rosalie was about to turn away when Theodore grabbed her wrist. "I'll take you back."His once drunkenly hazy eyes became clear when he looked at her.Rosalie forcefully shook his hand off. "No need. But I told Grandma we aren’t going home tonight because we’re out celebrat

    "So what if we're getting divorced? Didn't you say you see me as a brother?" Theodore said."Since I see you as a brother, we shouldn't be this intimate. It's inappropriate," Rosalie countered.Suddenly, an elderly voice rang out, "What's going on? Who's being inappropriate?"They turned to see Rebecca leaning on her cane, being assisted by the butler as she approached."Look at you two. You're not even inside the house yet and are already hugging so tightly. That's really inappropriate," Rebecca remarked.In fact, she was actually delighted to see her grandson and granddaughter-in-law being so affectionate.Rosalie immediately broke free from Theodore's embrace and went to Rebecca's side."Grandma, why are you out so late?" she asked, holding the older woman's arm.Judging from Rebecca's behavior, it seemed she hadn't heard Rosalie and Theodore talking about their divorce earlier. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so calm."I was bored, so I came to see if Theo really took you out f

    "You're hurt," said Theodore, staring at his wife's wrist.The abrasion on her wrist was shallow, but it seemed deeply etched in his eyes."I'm fine. I'll put on a Band-Aid later. You go ahead and take a shower.""Let's shower together."Theodore looked up and calmly gazed at her. He said those words as naturally as he had brought up getting a divorce.Throughout their marriage, the couple often showered together, and sometimes, they couldn't resist...Staring into Theodore's dark eyes, Rosalie felt flustered and confused, but she still forcefully pulled her hand away."It's fine. You go ahead and shower."Since they had chosen to get divorced, there was no point in being tender to each other now.Theodore's hand was suddenly empty. When he returned to his senses, Rosalie had already left the room.-When Rosalie walked into the room carrying a bowl of soup, she found that Theodore hadn't come out of the bathroom yet. Concerned, she went to the bathroom to check on him, only

    The enraged roar of a man who had lost all reason echoed throughout the entire room.Rosalie no longer had the strength to argue. She merely sneered and said, "Because Justin was worth it. I wanted to be with him. But you…you disgust me."At this moment, it seemed the only way she could retaliate against Sebastian was through words—to trample on his pride as a man.Sebastian's breathing grew rapid and heavy. He clenched Rosalie's wrist tightly, his teeth grinding together in fury."You bitch! You wanted to sleep with him, huh? Then I'll remove all traces of him from you bit by bit until there's nothing left! Then, you'll be my slave, mentally, physically, and emotionally!" he yelled.The latter half of the night was another storm of torment.Rosalie had no idea how she had survived. All she knew was that Sebastian had been like a wild beast that was completely out of control. She had almost died.Yet, as she hovered on the brink of death, all she could think about was that maybe

    He was smiling, yet his eyes carried an unmistakable sense of menace."Do you know what Theodore is doing right now?" Sebastian lifted the blanket off Rosalie's body.The moment she heard Theodore's name, Rosalie's eyes widened in alarm. "What are you trying to do?""What am I trying to do? Are you scared now?""Sebastian, I've already given up on Theodore! The one I loved was Justin, but you killed him. Are you planning to go after Theodore now too? Will you only be satisfied after killing every man in the world?"She was afraid that Sebastian, in his madness, would really go after Theodore. Even if Theodore was prepared, being targeted by a lunatic was incredibly dangerous.Theodore was in the open, while Sebastian was in the shadows—who knew when the latter would strike and take the former's life?"And what about your son? Do you not love him anymore?" Sebastian continued."Sebastian!" Rosalie screamed. "Don't you dare!""Yes, that's it!" Sebastian laughed. "I thought you had comple

    Rosalie despised him, cursed him, yet at this moment, she uttered the word "laughable"—and that infuriated Sebastian more than anything else."I'm laughable?" Sebastian laughed and stood up, gripping the bloodstained dagger in his hand. "Rosalie, I've sacrificed so much for you, and in the end, all I get in return is the word 'laughable'?"Rosalie no longer had the strength to argue with this madman. She turned her head away, refusing to look at him.Sebastian's hand trembled as he gripped the hilt of the dagger. "Good. Very good."He walked to the bed and unshackled her handcuffs.Rosalie was still weak. She barely managed to push herself up from the bed. She wanted to rush to Justin's side, but before she could, Sebastian grabbed her and held her in his arms."Let go of me! Let me go!" she yelled. "What's wrong? Weren't you the one who claimed to fear nothing?""Sebastian, after everything, what more do you want? My life is worthless now—if you have the guts, just kill me!"

    In the dead of night, the room was eerily silent.Sebastian sat on the edge of the bed, completely bare, smoking a cigarette.The torn pieces of Rosalie's wedding dress were strewn across the floor. Her hands were still cuffed to the bed, and she looked disheveled.Her hair was damp with sweat, and her eyes were swollen and red. Her entire face was haggard and devoid of color, her lips bearing deep bite marks that had already scabbed over.She lay motionless on the bed in the shape of a limp starfish. If not for the faint rise and fall of her chest proving she was still breathing, she could have been mistaken for a corpse.Sebastian stood up.He walked over to Justin's body and pressed his foot against his back."Justin, did you see how I claimed Rose? Did you hear her cries? I enjoyed them so much."Sebastian's sinister smile was especially terrifying. Even Justin's blood-soaked corpse lying on the ground wasn't as horrifying as the smile of a living man."What made you think you coul

    Sebastian forcefully turned Rosalie's head back."Can't bear to look?" He deliberately turned up the volume on his phone to the maximum, and a series of moans could be heard.Sebastian threw the phone aside and lifted her dress."What are you trying to do? Let go of me!" Rosalie twisted her body, struggling weakly."Of course, I'm going to cherish my bride." Sebastian smiled sinisterly. His face was terrifying, devoid of the gentleness it once held, with only cruelty remaining."Rose, I'm your husband too. You slept with Theodore, you slept with Justin—why won't you sleep with me? This isn't fair! But no matter. From now on, you're my woman, and only I can touch you. I'll be the last man you'll ever have!"Then, he ripped Rosalie's wedding dress apart."Sebastian, I'm your cousin! You're crazy!"Hearing those words, Sebastian's gaze grew even more ruthless, and he laughed hysterically. "So what? I don't care! Rose, I've long since gone mad!""Oh, right, let me tell you something." Seb

    It felt like an eternity had passed.Rosalie slowly opened her eyes, her head throbbing.Her vision was blurry, and the first thing she saw was a face she knew all too well—a face she hated with every fiber of her being.Sebastian noticed that Rosalie had woken up. He smirked as he stepped into the room and tossed her onto the bed.She was still wearing her wedding dress. The voluminous skirt cascaded onto the floor as she lay there, utterly powerless, unable to move even a single finger."Justin…" She tried to call his name, but no sound came out.She was overwhelmed by anguish. It felt as if countless knives were slicing through every nerve in her body. Tears streamed down her face.A large hand gripped her shoulder, flipping her over and pinning her down on the bed.Her vision gradually cleared.Sebastian shrugged off his jacket and tossed it aside before pressing himself down on top of her. He seized both her wrists and pinned them to the sides."Rose, when we got married, we never

    Sebastian handed Rosalie over to his subordinates, then pointed his gun at Justin."No!" Rosalie sobbed as she pleaded, "Sebastian, don't kill him! Please, don't kill him. I'll do whatever you want—just don't kill him, please!"Justin was already at death's door. Blood pooled around him, its bright red hue more striking than a wedding carpet. The petals scattered on the ground were stained crimson, painting a scene of utter devastation."Really?" Sebastian stepped closer to Rosalie and grabbed her by the throat before pressing his lips against hers.Rosalie struggled with all her might and attempted to bite him."Didn't you say you'd do anything to keep him alive? Then behave yourself!"His lips trailed down to her neck.Rosalie was firmly restrained by two men, leaving her unable to resist. All she could do was endure the humiliation Sebastian was forcing upon her.As long as Justin could be spared, she didn't care what happened to her. However, that sliver of desperate hope was shatt

    Rosalie's trembling hands pressed against Justin's wound. She lifted her head, looking around frantically, but she had no idea who had fired the shot. The place was in chaos, with everyone already gone, leaving behind a scene of devastation.Everything had happened too fast. There had been no time to react."Justin!" Rosalie sobbed uncontrollably. "I… We need to get to the hospital. I'll take you to the hospital."She tried to lift him, but no matter how many times she tried, she couldn't move him.Justin lay in her arms, too weak to rise."Rose…" He grasped her hand. "You need to go. Don't worry about me. It's not safe here.""No! I won't leave! I'm not going anywhere!" Rosalie shouted in anguish. "Justin, you have to hold on! I'll take you to the hospital—I will!"Tears streamed down her face as she struggled to carry him on her back."Rose, listen to me." Justin's trembling hand grasped her wrist with all the strength he had left. "If I die… Don't be sad. I'll always be in your hear

    Half an hour later, Rosalie leaned on Justin for support as she walked out, her legs weak."This is all your fault, Justin," she grumbled."Yes, it's my fault," he said, pressing a kiss to her cheek.Rosalie felt both frustrated and utterly in love with this man. He always sent her on a high, yet she could never get enough of him.Hand in hand, they stepped onto the red carpet, where the officiant was already waiting for them. The only people present were the staff who had set up the wedding.They had invited no one, nor did they need to. From this day forward, Rosalie and Justin would be each other's entire world.As the wedding march played, Rosalie held Justin's arm and slowly walked down the aisle. Her eyes turned red.She was about to become Justin's wife. She was so happy.Sensing her trembling, Justin gently squeezed her hand and patted it reassuringly.Their gazes locked, filled with nothing but love.When they reached the altar, the officiant looked at the couple standing befo
