Married by a Couple of Shots Chapter XIII.ii
At Jared's place, Rossie was hoping he'd have an apartment or a small house but... he has a big house but of course not as big as Jake's. When they got there, there were gardeners and helpers who were cleaning. They were greeting Jared with bright smiles on their faces and not all masters would greet back their employees but he did. Then Jared explained to her that on Mondays, caretakers are arranged to do general cleaning which includes gardening. This explains why there were so many people at the moment."Why did you choose a big house and you live alone? Do you live alone?" she asked as she was following him inside the house."My parents used to live here but then my grandparents got older so they had to accompany them to the ancestral manor." She bet that is where they will be going on Wednesday. "Is your grandparents' place as big as this?""Uhm... you could say that," he answers. While they make their way to the kitchen, she noticed there weren't many family photos hung there

It had been three hours on the air and Rossie kept scribbling through her notes. She's been trying to memorize everything. Although Jared keeps telling her not to worry too much about it. Oh, she freakin' is!The past two days, she was confident that she was going to be alright but as soon as she got on the plane, her heart just won't stop racing. What if his family members were worse than Jake's? What if they didn't like how she looks?To be fair with it, she put on some light makeup and she actually wore a dress this time, pairing it with plain white heels. They weren't that high but they added some inches to her height. Jared didn't say any compliments when he saw her but he took her hand and even now they're on the plane with people, he was still holding her. It made her think that she looked bad."Your hand is sweating," Jared finally spoke. Yes, he has been busy with his damn iPad and hasn't spoken to her. "Is something wrong?" he added.Rossie shakes her head from side to side.

At the dining table, Rossie sure never expected that a long table really does exist at a typical family dinner of a few people. There were many vacant seats and they were gathered in a corner. Although everyone welcomed her warmly, her heart couldn't stop pounding.The way Veronica smiles at her is different and every time the woman does, she would squeeze Jared's hand. She didn't want to let go of him, not when she felt his sister's murderous gaze. She hasn't mistaken it, Veronica was really that lady and she called her little bud. What's with that nickname?"Is something wrong?" Jared whispered to her. He might've taken the hint that she wasn't very much comfortable as she was before meeting Veronica. "Yes. I have to tell you something later," she answers. "Am I sweating too much?""Not quite. Just the way you squeeze my hand is different. You don't do that mostly.""Is there no way to get away from this dinner?" "Sadly not."Rossie just wants to die right now. Well, at least she

After dinner, Jared found an excuse for them to head to his room, saying they had a long day and needed to rest. Although Catherine and the rest of the family wanted to talk more to Rossie, they had to let them both go.Jared's room was the size of a house! Rossie's jaw dropped at how big it was. It had its own living room with a 75-inch TV and she bet he doesn't use that thing. The design was simple, the walls were grey with a hint of white and black. Then on the other side was his huge bed with a grey comforter. Everything was almost grey. "Where's the closet?" she asked, her eyes still wandering around."There." Jared points to another door. "I'll put your suitcase there and you can use any cabinet you want. You can also put on my clothes if you're comfortable.""Eh? Why would I even want to use your clothes? I have my own!""I'm just saying," he muttered, heading towards the door he pointed. She had to follow him. "You can shower and go to bed after. You don't mind sharing the

Chapter 15.2It was around three in the morning when Rossie woke up. She looks at her surrounding, her eyelids halfway down. Where the hell? Ten more seconds and she finally realized where she was at; Jared’s mini living room. She sits up, yawning. Why didn’t he wake her up? Where is he anyway?On the bed, she sees her husband peacefully sleeping like an angel. Given the fact that he didn’t wake her up, and left her on the couch, she is convinced that he now has a flaw-- his over gentleman side is.While she stands on her side of the bed, with a pillow in her hand, she thinks it would be nice to disturb Jared. It even puzzles her why she’s upset that she didn’t see him with her waking up.“I can throw this pillow at him,” she hissed, glaring at the sleeping man on the bed. She appears to have plastered a murderous look on her face. It lasted for some seconds and she rolls her eyes. “I should just sleep,” she says.Rossie climbed into her side of the bed, sliding herself into the comfo

Rossie lied. When Jared recalls the subject she left on the dining table, she had to make an excuse to brush it off. She laughed and told him it was just that she was feeling a little homesick. At first, she thought it would be a failure but Jared bought it."I'm not sorry that I'm taking you away." He looks over his shoulder to Rossie, his eyes telling her how much he meant what he said. Then he shifted his gaze to his tablet, taking his coffee. He didn't even have any reaction. "Want some breakfast?""What are you having?" she asked. Since she usually just has coffee and bread in the morning, she doesn't know what kind of fancy breakfast his family eats."Apple. I like it," he answered. She could not help but messed her face up which Jared laughed at. There's no way she's just eating apples in the morning. "That's exactly why you should start thinking of what you want for breakfast, baby."While she was thinking about it, she can't help but notice how consistent Jared was at calling

Like the inside of a rose, his wife's lips were as soft. How Jared wants to taste them again but he knows that she was engaged and he wouldn't do something she would be guilty of. So instead of claiming Rossie's lips, he decided to flick her forehead. Instantly, her eyes open, and her brows draw together as she shoots him a dirty look. He could only laugh at her red face. "That's not funny, Jared!" she sneered, shifting her attention to the food at the center table. The way she called his name made a corner of his curve up. His chest somehow felt warm. He barely hears her call him by his name nor ever called him her husband. "I never knew a woman can be this dangerous," he stated, taking his waffle and getting a bite. He didn't get a remark from Rossie but the way she freezes for a second caught his eye. She is affected. "By the way," Rossie uttered, there was a hint of unsureness in her voice and Jared could tell the next line, "are you somehow connected to the company I work fo
Married by a Couple of Shots Chapter XVII
In the garden, Veronica and Rossie were having tea. Although Rossie doesn't usually drink any tea unless it's milk tea, she needed to force herself. It turns out, the Corporals are very busy people that they leave the house early in the morning. The elders are mostly in their rooms. There are just certain times that they leave the house and or go outside but that's occasionally. So now, Rossie was stuck with Veronica who is elegantly sipping on her cup of tea. "Jared and I used to run around here all the time. Catherine would always tell us not to pluck the flowers, especially her roses." Veronica stops to chuckle gracefully. "Jared loves the roses so one time he picked one." "And then what happened? Did your mother scold him?" Rossie asked. "No. He was poked by the thorn and he bled," Veronica answers, remembering that moment Jared just looked at the blood. He even smiled and said, when you want beautiful things, you ought to get hurt. "Catherine was worried about his wound more

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.

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
