Married by a Couple of Shots Chapter LXXII
Days passed and Rossie was feeling unwell. It was a good thing that Jared was up so early and she has time to go to bathroom undetected. She got used to this dizziness and nausea but today, it was rather severe and she is literally trying to stay conscious, catching her breath while her head was near the toilet. How many days left until she can tell them? Three? Two? With her state right now, she doesn’t know. She wants to tell him so bad and he would comfort her, be beside and even lift her hair back when she throws up. The pills, she needs to take it now. With all the strength left, she stands up, shifting weight side by side and even wrapping her hand against the doorframe for support. She breaths in, gathering courage again and pushing herself off and to the closet to search for the gift Lara had given her.“Where is it?” she frustratingly asked, making a mess of her things while sobbing a little. Just as she was giving up, she finally found the bottle and took one pill to drin

Rossie had a frown when Jared took a long time to come out of the closet. He was just right behind her. It made her frustrated so she went back inside. "Baby! What are you still doing there?" she asked but as soon as she saw the white round pill in between his fingers, her eyes widened. How the hell did he get that?"What is this? Do you have any idea if it's a lizard egg or a mothball?" He kept staring at the pill and he looks at her. "Did you put a mothball in our closet, baby?"Mothball? she thought. Should she go on with that and use it as an excuse? Does Jared know what a mothball is?"I heard it before from one of the maids. They talking about it keeps away the insects," he stated. "Wh-Why don't you put it back to keep t-the insects from getting on our clothes?" She stammers a bit. Obviously, Jared isn't dumb but the fact that he is also rich, she would not think he would know about mothballs too. He definitely gazes at it with amusement."You're right." He chuckles, turns aro

Tomorrow is a big day for the family Corporal so the preparation was a real hassle for Rossie. The fitting of dresses even though they just stay at home, it’s crazy. The mansion was decorated with beautiful flowers, the curtains were changed, and so was the carpets. Everyone was so busy and everywhere you look there’s someone. The only place where there was no one is inside each rooms. Rossie has never expected that this succession would be this busy. It was like the preparation of that annual party but this time they say there won’t be people. Mirriam told her so the other day that even if they’re inside the house, the succession is pretty much broadcasted live to them. In the middle of climbing the stairs, she sighs heavily, ascending again. Ellisa was still discussing her dress with the designer so she was thinking of going to Veronica to talk for a bit. She does not know what to say but she wants to see the woman. They haven’t seen each other for a while now. At the door, Rossi

“Wh-What are you talking about?” she stuttered. It took a couple of seconds to iron the frown on her forehead. Forcing a chuckle. “You’re being ridiculous! There is no—““And you think we are that dumb, little bud?” Veronica’s smile slipped away, her lips pressed together. “No one knows but Lara, right? That’s the purpose of her visit.”There was no winning it since this is Veronica she’s talking to. With her sharp eyes, she looks straight in her sister-in-law’s eyes. “Did she tell you?” she asked. “No.” She sobs a laugh, taking off the cap on her wine bottle and pouring herself some wine. “It’s not so hard to know every time you’re late for breakfast or when we practice and you excuse yourself. I see you, little bud.”“Nothing really escapes your hawk eye,” she stated, giving a half grin. “You didn’t tell anyone, right?”“It’s not my business, is it?” When Rossie could not answer, Veronica raised her glass, tilting her head to one side. “Cheers to the new heir.” “You look like you

After visiting Veronica, Rossie realized that she wasn't so good at hiding, maybe even Catherine or Miriam knew she was pregnant. But Veronica also told her that she doubts her mother and grandmother know. Rossie trusts the woman's verdict. As she descends the stairs she thought about what could happen. Just then her heart just starts racing and she feels her hands sweating, pausing in the middle to take a breath. What is happening to her? She always gets anxious whenever she thinks of the succession and her husband getting shot. Rossie briefly rubbed her belly and started taking steps down again. Lara told her that she needed some exercise so she started walking the halls. That's an everyday thing for her and when she's finished walking the halls she'd take a stroll to the garden.As she just exiting the halls, she met Jared. Instantly she plastered a smile. Oh, how lovely it is to see her husband that she did not even notice the frown before he smiled. Jared didn't wait for her t

Chapter 73.3Like always Veronica was wearing something elegant and sparkly. Ellisa didn't know what to say because the last time they spoke to each other, she was fiery and it didn't end well. "Good morning, dear Elly!" Veronica greeted, a big smile on her face. "We have not talked for a very long time! How are you?"If she could just go back some minutes ago she'd like to interrupt Jared and Rossie. But she can't so she inhales as quietly as possible."Good morning, Veronica," she greeted back, finally flashing a smile. "I am fine and you?""I am wonderful!" Ellisa nodded. She was about to excuse herself and walked past the woman when Veronica suddenly wrapped her hands around Ellisa's arm, making her eyes grow wide. "Let's talk somewhere far from here!""Wh-What are we--""You and me and our mutual feelings for Levius," Veronica cut her off, her tone cheery as if it wasn't a big deal that they like the same man. On the left side of the mansion's lawn, they walked slowly. Ellis

The live broadcast suddenly cut off and Rossie couldn't see if it was Jared who got shot first or the man who stood in front of him with a gun. She became restless and everyone surrounded her as she started sobbing."Contact the other guards right away!" Veronica commanded the securities that were with them and then cupped her face. "Listen, Rossie! It's not the time to break down! Let's hear it first!""I-I saw the man po-pointing a gun a-at him!" she cries, her voice breaking. "Don't be so negative!" Veronica shouts. "I know my brother is fast. He could've dodged it and even if he didn't he has a vest! So, calm down!""Breath in and out, darling." Catherine's soft voice, she hears and she did what was instructed. "That's right, that's right.""Anything yet?" Veronica asked the security."No, ma'am," one of them replied which makes the woman worried too."Let's calm down and wait for the men," Miriam said. Rossie's breathing might've calmed but she couldn't stop her mind from storm

They waited a day after the succession but nothing happened. And when the day was over everyone could breathe without any trouble. Miriam who previously had the idea to go on a trip was the most delighted. No one in the family was harmed and to celebrate such, she wanted everyone at the dinner table.*Since the succession, Prim has noticed how Keille sometimes avoids her. He had turned cold as well, speaking less to her and she wonders what could she have done wrong. When he got home, he hugged her for a minute straight and that's it. He didn't say anything and walk away. She herself could not even say anything but look at his back as he fades.Today, she will try to knock on his door and ask what had gone wrong. Everyone seemed to notice nothing but she knows something was definitely wrong with Keille. She raises her fist and knocks on his door."Keille? It's Prim. Can I talk to you?" She waited but there was no reply and so she knocks again. "I can come back later if you don't want

The wedding bells just rang and the newlyweds came out of the church doors. Ellisa was looking so beautiful in her wedding gown and she looks as happy as I was in mine. Well, thanks to my best friend I got married so unexpectedly and fell in love with someone who set me free from a toxic manipulated relationship. I had to through a lot just to witness this moment with the love of my life and four-year-old holding mine and Jared's hand. His name is Caleb and no we didn't decide on that, Veronica did. She said it was the perfect name for the kid. Jared and I got married after the tradition was finally cut off with the help of Derek and Lily Adler. It was also unprecedented but he is now engaged to Stephanie Montreal. For some reason, Derek gave me Kenneth and now Caleb and he are best friends.

Lara was summoned to the Corporal's house to check on Rossie. She just got the call and she immediately went. It has been a while since they saw each other and she heard that she has been kidnapped. And now she stands next to the Corporals waiting for Rossie to arrive with Jared and the others.The moment they see the cars, they all felt relieved and when they were finally in front and the doors opened, revealing those who went, the ladies cried. But what alarmed them was the fact that Rossie was unconscious, looking all pale, and worry was written all over Jared's face.Jared was assisted in getting the doors and they followed to the nearest room. Lara's kit was already there, and every apparatus she needed was ready in the nearest bedroom. Then she asked everyone out because she was also going to clean Rossie.When she was finally alone, she did her things and checked Rossie. The lady has weakened quite fast so she needed to insert some IV tubes because she was also dehydrated. She

Now that they had the exact location, Jared deactivated his live status and everything about the Corporal completely shut off, allowing no one to track whether his ranking remained or was replaced. He knew it was going to create a commotion but that is what he is trying to do. While they are on their way to the old rest house, Veronica finds herself decoding these codes from she knows who, Mister Sparacinos himself. He is trying to set a date and solicit half of the Corporal's property for Rossie. Veronica would do that if there were no other choice but they found and alternative and the men were already on their way to where he is. It's only a matter of time before all of this will be over. So she does her part and Keille too was helping her. They're hoping that if everything goes as planned, by tomorrow they will be able to hug Rossie again. If she had permission, she would've gone with them. It's different when she holds a gun, she could be useful but she rampages so nobody trus

In somewhere dark and stinky, Rossie and Kenneth were thrown by Garry's men into what seemed to be an attic of an old resthouse. It was full of dust and cobwebs. Unlike the room Derek got for her, this one has no light, no nothing and she was thankful the moon started to show and gave a little bit of moonlight. They have been in that car, traveling for so long and she feels thirsty. She was thankful Kenneth stayed by her side. At least she has company.She was so startled when her door flung open and then these big men came to get her. Kenneth barked and even tried biting one of them but he failed because he was so little they just tossed him. She had to cover him up and not let go of him. That's when Garry came and she knew he was a devil. They dragged them out of that mansion and into a car. No, here she is in wherever this place may be. "Don't worry, Kenneth." She pets the puppy who sleeps in her lap. "We'll be rescued and you'll return to Derek and I'll return home."It didn't

Papers on his desk, cold coffee on his side, Jared had fallen asleep on his desk again. He was so tired from trying to gain access to a blueprint of the Sparacinos' mansion. Spending hours staring at the screen had his eyes drooping and hurting so he was going to take a break and he fell into slumber.Now a knock on his door was disrupting his sleep and he groans, moving his arms and lifting his head. Ugh! His neck is stiff and he moved it side by side, groaning again. He hopes whoever comes inside has some good reason to wake him up."Come in," he said. The door flung open, revealing a breathless Keille. This kid was always so chill but who chase him that he's catching his breath?"I need to talk to you," Keille uttered. "You sound like some predator was chasing you," he remarks. "I went to the Sparacinos mansion and spoke with Rossie." Instantly Jared's eyes widened. Keille did something that reckless and he's in front of him unscathed. Jared was still shocked when Keille continu

From the second-floor terrace down to the long staircase and endless halls before the main doors, Veronica ran, breathless when she was outside. She just saw Keille driving a car and with unprecedented speed drove away from their mansion. She knows that Keille was not happy Rossie was still not rescued and he has been crept up by guilt. Raking her fingers through her hair, she could've done better. Early in the morning and they could lose another family member. What is Keille thinking?*It was so early in the morning but Keille couldn't wait anymore. He has been hearing Primrose cry for her sister and every time he sees her, his heart breaks. It is careless to just go straight into the Sparacinos' mansion but he could not think of any better way to do so. It doesn't matter if he gets shot. He deserves to be shot.The drive to the enemy's lair is an hour and a half drive but Keille got there in fifty with him accelerating every opportunity he could. It was like playing his game, only

Three days had passed and Jared still could not locate where they are hiding Rossie. They have infiltrated most of the Sparacinos' properties but there was still no sign of his wife. Soon enough they'll only have one choice but to check on their main mansion. The only problem is it was heavily guarded. It would be like two kingdoms going to war.He knows he is going to win it but there would be a lot of lives that can be lost. Their business affairs will be affected as well. It was only him, he would go and won't care for his life but he has to be practical too. He needs to carefully think this out. Rossie would need him alive.A loud knocking on his door interrupted Jared's thoughts, making him blink and back to reality. He coughs and composed his posture. "Come in," he said.When the image of Harry came in, Jared immediately stand up. This man was leading the search so his coming in would have some news."Young master." Harry bowed his head for a second and raise up. "We have search

Child? Keille asked in her mind. Rossie is pregnant? She has to go through all of these because of him. Whatever it is that he was feeling right now. Guilt or conscience? It was eating Keille. If he didn't help and agreed about the fake kidnapping, they would not move here, and Prim won't have to cry. "I have to do something," he mumbles to himself. Keille doesn't seem like it but he has a collection of useful spy tools. He has also learned how to lockpicks. He has been interested in it since he loves playing games. It's a fact that a game's situation is different from reality but the difference is not that far. He just has to remember that he won't respawn.Once he gets home, he'll find Rossie himself to make it up for agreeing to that plan, for Rossie being captured, and for Prim's cries. He just hopes that Rossie is still alive.*"How much longer until we can get out and look for dear Rossie?" Miriam cries again, wiping only the corners of her eyes with a silly handkerchief. "Oh

Everyone saw Jared drag Stephanie inside and saw worry written all over his face. Even mister Montreal was shocked to see them together. When he was out of his auto-pilot mind, he told everyone to stay inside while telling the men that they were holding a meeting.In Gerald's office, they gathered. Everyone was intrigued, their faces itching to know what was up with Jared."Mister Montreal, did you somehow have a fight with someone? Is there a bounty on your head?" Jared was always straightforward with anything especially now that he know someone was coming for them."No. I don't think there is someone after us nor did I do wrong to anyone," Gerald answered. "What is all of this, Jared?""Is someone after your daughter?""No. There is no one with that we had an argument for many years now.""Then why was someone aiming at her earlier?""Someone is here?" Both Levius and William asked in chorus. Gerald now worries and like Jared's reaction earlier anger crossed their faces."Do you hav
