The very next day, Lara went to visit the Corporal mansion as planned. She doesn't know what excuse he'll give them for visiting but since Rossie informed her that Jared would be there, she'll use that as an escape. After all, she's the one who took care of him after his life and death situation.

After two hours drive, Lara finally made it to the entrance of the mansion. Oh well, someone will have to announce her arrival to them, she thought. But as soon as she steps out of her car, she saw Rossie's pretty face. It made her plaster a smile. Guess she didn't need to be announced.

"It's good to see you again, my lady." Lara noticed the cracks on Rossie's lips. Didn't Jared notice that? "How are you feeling?"

"Terrible," she answered quietly. "Nobody knows you're coming today so I had my way to wait here and told the guards myself. They doubted for a moment but I am glad that you were able to make it. Shall we?"

Lara nodded and they walk somewhere that is probably not inside. Rossie seem

    Early in the morning, Jared had noticed how Rossie woke up so early. He thought she would just use the bathroom so he slept peacefully again but she didn't come back. The fact that he woke up alone, searching his hand for her and he couldn't reach her frustrates him.He gets up and went out, searching for his wife everywhere. It's not that early anymore but he got used to Rossie still in bed at these hours. Jared checked on the sitting room, the game room, the theater, and even the library but Rossie wasn't there. He was about to go check on Prim's room but he soon realizes that there was the garden. He has not checked so he stormed there. The weather was great today and he notices the sky was clear of clouds as he walks to the entrance of the garden. At the gateway, he stops, frowning when he saw Lara and Rossie exchanging smiles. Who invited that piece of marble? He marches to them.Lara was the first one to see him, and she raised a brow, smirking and whispering to Rossie which

    It felt like it has been an hour since Ellisa woke up. Since she and Levius fought, she had been keeping her distance from him, even in bed and she would get up right away but this morning is different. She was stuck in bed with him, his hand was resting on her stomach. For an hour, she's been in a dilemma to either just get up or slowly remove his hand. So many what-ifs were clouding her head but she was also getting a little impatient. It annoys her how she can't turn around to face Levius and snuggle close anymore. Her mornings used to be sweet but now it's a battle for her and this morning was the hardest of all. She can't waste another hour for Levius to wake up and realize his mistake so she tries moving away a little but the sheets rustled and she felt him moan so she stops. Her whole body froze for a moment. After some seconds, Ellisa tries again. This time, she is dedicated to getting away so she makes a big scooch of her hips. In her mind, a big grin had formed thinking s

    "It's just a girls' thing." Rossie chuckles hiding her nervousness behind it. "She said it has a nice scent.""A kind of perfume then?" he asked, raising his brows. She nodded and he shook his head up and down slowly. "I was almost certain that she handed you some poison," he said chuckling. Opposite to Jared's reaction, Rossie scoffed, rolling her eyes at him playfully. "Why would I need to poison you when I have your heart?" she grins. Cheesy as it sounds, she managed to make him smile."A day after the succession, let's go somewhere," Jared stated. "Do you want to relive the yacht? I want to make it up to you."Bringing that up made her recall that one night. If he didn't explain it, she would have hated to remember it but since she knows, it's just sad and heartbreaking for Jared."You don't have to make it up to me." She extend her hand to caress her husband's face and smiled sweetly. "It was more heartbreaking to you than it was to me. We could have avoided it but I understand

    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

    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.

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

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.

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 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?"
