Married by a Couple of Shots Chapter VII
Rossie has been awake the whole morning. She couldn't shake the fact that Jake was coming home in a few hours. She was even invited by his parents to their place for his homecoming. That's how special Jake is to them.The family Vermond is well known to define elegance. They were very strict with the whole family of lawyers, generation to generation, and now, Jake. He is well a disappointment to his clan for being with somebody who works in customer service. In the past, Jake's parents wanted Rossie to pursue college and enroll in a law school but she didn't want to feel indebted. Also, being a lawyer wasn't her passion. She is still figuring out what she really wants to do at the age of 25. Most people would figure out what they want or that they're already set on a path but her? She's just a wandering ghost, lost in the present and struggling to know her own.A knocking on her door kept her out of her thoughts. She looks at the door and it opened before she could even say it was, r

Two days since Jake left the city again. After that shocking proposal he did, Rossie was a bit agitated with Primrose not telling her entirely. Of course, it wasn't her sister's fault and probably her sister just didn't want to ruin the surprise. What can she do? It was already there. She already said yes.What's worst is that the preparation for the wedding will be in three months' time. She has been given three months and most divorces she read about online take eleven months or so. It would at least take six months. She is doomed!"I really should've confessed to Jake," Rossie frustratingly groaned. She was back to work and on her lunch break like always, she is with Ellisa."Yeah, that jerk didn't invite me to the engagement. I'm not sure if I should support you in this." Right, Ellisa was still mad that she wasn't even invited. That she is my best friend yet she was never there to capture that moment. It was another reason for her to hate Jake even more"If I knew I would've inv

Although Jared didn't shout it out, he still made Rossie listen to him. She knows it is not a good thing to provoke someone like him and she knows she won't get another chance. It all depends on her being nice to him now since he has something that she needs.Rossie looks away, adjusting the pillow around her neck, and then hides half of her face with the plushie that he gave her. It can't be helped. "As long as you commit to your words about tomorrow then be it.""I don't say things I don't mean," he repeated the sense of what he said earlier.The ride was quiet and long that it had Rossie falling asleep again. The funny thing is that Jared never woke her up. They stayed parked at some vacant lot until she slowly moved, making her morning face that made him hide a smile. She even did some stretches, opening her eyes halfway."We've been here for quite a while now," he tells her. Looking at Rossie it seems like she was still making her way into the world. "You're asleep for about thre

"What does he do?" Rossie could not help the thrills in her fingertips."Well..." Lucas looks her in the eyes and the next thing he said killed her and Ellisa. "I don't actually know," he answers, scratching the side of his face. "I swear I am going to kill you!" Ellisa shouts, gaining some attention all over the pantry. Lucas was just laughing. "You sound like you knew everything and do us like that! Motherhooker!""Honestly, I don't know what he does but I do know he is someone you don't want to mess with," Lucas clarifies to them. "Also, congratulations on your engagement, Rossie."So, Lucas knows about them, she thought, well of course he does! And she knows about her engagement which means Jared must have known... yet he didn't say anything. It's impossible for him not to notice the big rock on her ring finger. "Thank you," she tells Lucas. "May I ask, how did you guys meet?""Well, he used to come to work in this company. Then he handled us for a while. He was so strict but I

So, she wants to apologize to her sister for not fully telling her that Jake was planning to propose and for not telling her what she further knew.As a younger sister, she didn't have as much responsibility as her sister. All she needed to do was graduate and be good at school, unlike her sister who needed to work for them.They were a well-off family and they never struggle with money until one day when she was twelve when their families' tailoring business burned down, leaving nothing but damages and debt for them. The Vesmonds help them because Jake wanted to help but from then on, her sister kept downgrading herself and she has always been worried.Just as Rossie got inside her room, Prim decided to follow afterward, knocking on her sister's door.

The next night, Rossie was picked up by Jared again. At first, she hesitated to tell him about what she and her sister talked about earlier but she ended up telling him. "I know it's ridiculous to meet my sister but she really wants to meet you," she reasoned. Ugh! This was embarrassing for her. "You don't have to agree though. I can just tell her you're really busy.""When can I meet her?" he asked. Instantly her eyes couldn't help but widen, jerking her face to see if he was serious. He looked serious. "Uhm... when are you free?""I'm free anytime."That doesn't sound right. The first few days they were talking to each other she remembers him saying that he was busy and had no time. Now, he is saying that he is free anytime. It made her scoff."My day off is on Thursday. Maybe you can give her a ride to school or something." Well her sister said she just wants to meet Jared. She never said anything bout getting to know her husband."Anything is good with me." Somehow Rossie think

Thursday. Primrose was waiting for Rossie and her husband to pick her up from school. Aside from Wednesdays and Saturdays, they really go home as early as two in the afternoon. Unless you are part of the group that's scheduled to clean the classroom or a junior high school then your class schedule is different.Waiting for them has her anxious, nibbling her lower lip continuously and playing with her fingers. She's dying to meet the man her sister married but at the same time, she feels like this was a bad idea. But before she could text her sister to cancel this meeting, a black car parked in front of her, stopping her from using her phone.Of course, she remembers this car! Her heart started pounding so loudly, especially when the door on the other side open revealing a man of good looks. He has eyes that can hypnotize, especially when the sun's light is reflected in them. When she thinks she can't be more into his aura, the man showed a charming smile, softening everything on his f

"Woah!" Primrose's jaw dropped. She has never been there, not even with friends and now she's just here surrounded by all these games. She wanted to shout from the top of her lungs! "It's so cool here!" she squealed. "I want to play it all!""You've never been here?" Jared asked Rossie."No, I've been pretty busy and we never knew this place existed," she answered. Yeah, they were too caught up with their lives to get news that this place actually is in their city. "Do you come here often?""No, not often. But Kei with Levius and I, when we're not in the mood for anything, we go to places like this.""Can I play?!" Primrose butt into them. "You'll need a card to play," Jared tells her. He opened his palm to Prim. "Wanna get some so we can win prizes?" Immediately, Prim grinned and put a hand on Jared's. They went to the counter together, hopping like kids getting excited about ice cream. Rossie only smiled and follow both of them. Jared had bought three cards, one was loaded with a

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.

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

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
