Rosalie furrowed her brows. She pondered for a moment before saying, "I can't decide for you. It's not wrong of you to take revenge. If you're going to torture him, can I head up first? I don't want to see you do it."The image was too gory and Rosalie was worried she might have nightmares.Vincent turned around and realized that Rosalie's face had turned pale.She was frightened indeed. She was a proper lady, unlike him who had seen it all. Of course she would be frightened.Rosalie was a clean sheet of paper, while his hands were all covered with blood."Go on upstairs. I'll head up in a while."Rosalie nodded, then turned to leave the basement.After she headed upstairs and closed the door, she could hear sounds from the basement.The man who was being tortured couldn't make a sound. All she could hear were sounds Vincent made, some of which came from the piercing of a knife, or something that was overturned.Rosalie covered her ears and leaned against the wall.All sorts
Vincent kept asking why. He buried his head in his arms and tore at his hair, yelling desperately, "Why? Why?!"Rosalie patted his back, not knowing what to say to comfort him.Not all pain could be soothed with mere words.He had lost a kin, and in such a terrible way. No one would be able to bear it. If it had happened to herself, she would have broken down, too.Vincent suddenly reached out to pull Rosalie into his arms and lock her in a tight embrace.Rosalie was frightened. She anxiously held her palms against his broad shoulders in a bid to push him away.Just then, Vincent pleaded in her ear, "Don't move. Let me hug you like this just for a while. Please."Rosalie sighed inwardly. She patted his back and said, "This isn't your fault. It's all the fault of those villains. I trust Youngie wouldn't blame you, either. She'd want you to treasure the present and live every day to the fullest. She wouldn't want you to be in pain anymore.""Rosalie, I'm sorry for keeping you h
'She must be Rose, it must be her!'Who was that man? What did he do to Rosalie?In Theodore's opinion, that must be the man who abducted Rosalie here.He wondered what torture Rose had to endure. Theodore felt more panic-stricken the more he thought about it.His subordinates checked out their surroundings.Sneaking into the house didn't look easy. Every inch looked heavily gated and the only option seemed to be blasting out an opening.All of a sudden, the man on the screen pushed the woman onto the couch.Fire burned in Theodore's chest; he thought that Rosalie was being hurt right there and then.He lost all of his patience and ordered his subordinate, "Blow up the lock, quick!"-Vincent hauled himself up from Rosalie on the couch."I'm sorry.""It's fine. Just be careful."Vincent had accidentally fallen onto the couch and she fell along with him, brought along by his momentum.When Vincent settled down, Rosalie said, "Let me check your wound."She carefully peeled
Theodore heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing Rosalie alive.He thought of how he came across dead bodies so many times in his painful search that made him swing between hope and hopelessness.In the process of searching for Rosalie, he managed to find many lost people.Now, he had finally managed to find her—and she was still alive.He didn't know the kind of torment she had been through. Whatever it was, his heart was racked with worry for her."Theo, why are you here?" Rosalie looked at him in disbelief. "What are you doing here?"She completely didn't expect to see Theodore here.Vincent's eyes narrowed as he turned to ask Rosalie, "Isn't this man the one we saw on TV, your ex-husband?"Rosalie nodded. "Yes, he's my ex-husband."Rosalie heaved a sigh of relief, knowing it was Theodore and not someone else."Rose, quick! Come over!"Theodore anxiously reached a hand out to her."Theo, what are you doing here?""To save you, of course! You went missing, and I went mad try
"Theo, he's my savior. Don't hurt him! I won't let any of you hurt him!""What did you say?" Theodore muttered in disbelief. "He…he's your savior?""Yes. He saved me when I was in danger! Hurting him is akin to hurting me!"Theodore didn't know what was going on. Things were not what he imagined it to be.He wasn't sure if Rosalie was bewitched by Vincent and therefore not thinking clearly.However, he could make out the strangle marks on Rosalie's neck. It was surely the result of a violent outburst. Was it by the hands of this man?If things were really as Rosalie had said, then why was she still here? She didn't go home and was uncontactable. What kind of saving did this man do?"Rose, I got it. Give me the gun. I won't hurt him."Rosalie was so agitated that if he were to continue firing at Vincent, it would surely cause her to react even more agitatedly."Really?" Rosalie asked.Theodore nodded. "Yes, give me the gun now."He was very worried that she might misfire and
"You…"Theodore was about to step forward when Rosalie shoved him away hard. "He's right, every word of his. Theodore Spencer, I was captured by a bunch of hooligans. When they were about to humiliate me and kill me, Vincent rescued me. Where were you then? Why didn't you come running to me to save me then? Oh, I know! You were holding hands with Aurora, walking down the streets, licking her ice cream, and savoring the taste of her saliva! You might even have had a roll in the hay with her! How would you even have the time to save me?"Theodore remained silent."Listen up, Theodore Spencer. I don't need you to save me. I'm perfectly fine right now. You're just kicking up a fuss over nothing!""Kicking up a fuss over nothing? Rosalie Young, I went to such great lengths to find you and was worried about you being in danger. I'm even putting my life at risk, and you're calling it kicking up a fuss over nothing?!"He couldn't stand the pain of having his effort and heartache being s
"It's fine. At least he's here to save you and you'll be fine."Vincent no longer feared death, having lived life so dangerously with the risk of dying hanging over his head constantly. Dying today or tomorrow made no difference to him.In fact, dying early meant quicker relief for him.Rosalie tried her best to help Vincent stand up and said to Theodore, "Theo, can you…"Before Rosalie could complete her sentence, another bunch of men rushed in."Rose, are you alright? Quick, come to me! I'm here to save you!"Sebastian saw Rosalie standing with Vincent and noticed the blood on her. He was frightened out of his wits and immediately fired a few shots at Vincent. "No!"Rosalie yelled hysterically as she saw Vincent collapse on the floor, shot by Sebastian's gun."No, no!"Rosalie knelt on the floor and cried in agony, "Vincent, Justin…Justin, don't die! Please, don't die!""Sebastian, you mad dog!" Theodore held him back. "What are you doing?""I'm saving Rose. She's in dan
Rosalie couldn't care less right now. Even if the doctor were to call the police, all she wanted to do now was to keep Vincent alive. If he were to die right here, right now, all would be lost.Vincent lifted a hand and gently caressed Rosalie's face, wiping her tears away."Don't cry. We don't know each other very well, anyway. It's fine even if I die.""No, I won't allow you to die! I won't! Vincent, hold on. I beg you, hold on a while longer.""If I die, I can go find my sister. Don't be sad. Seems like both of them love you very much. But… I still hope that you can be happy. Don't get tied down just because the other party loves you. Rose, don't trust men so easily.""Justin, open your eyes! Open your eyes!"Rosalie tried so hard to pry his eyes open.She gritted her teeth and carried Vincent from the ground with all her might."I'll bring you to the hospital. You won't die. I won't let you die! Youngie won't let you die, either!"Theodore snapped back to reality and immed
