Married by a Couple of Shots Chapter XLV
The next two days have been normal for Rossie. Her friends were picking her up and when she gets off, they give her a ride too. It's funny because, after her last encounter with Jake, he finally didn't show up the next day. Peace for her. But it became a habit of her to look at the spot where Jake was and she closes her eyes, frustrated with herself.It's her day off and Rossie decided to treat herself to her favourite ice cream before going home. So, she stopped by her favourite ice cream shop, a big smile on her face while she was picking her ice cream flavours and toppings. Once done, she went looking for a seat with her tray in her hands.Rossie always hated the crowd so she went to the back and her eyes widened to see Jake, sitting in her favorite spot with an ice cream similar to what she ordered. Well, on their days back then, they used to come here whenever they had free time. It's been a while.She turns and was about to walk away when Jake spoke, "I didn't mean to see you he

In the cemetery, Ellisa and Levius stood in front of a tombstone, flowers in her hand. She insisted on bringing flowers for Levius' parents, for them to at least know how good of a person she is and that she'll take care of their son. Not that it would matter to the dead but it was traditional to bring flowers when you visit a cemetery too.She lays it in between both granite headstones and fell silent. Glancing at Levius, he was just staring at his parent's grave, like he was communicating with them in his head. Creepy but when you see his sincere gaze, you know he misses them."I'm sure they're proud of you," she spoke. Levius smiled and shifted his gaze to her. "They wouldn't recognize me. I was a kid with dirty mud on his hands all the time." "Oh, come on! Whose parents wouldn't recognize their child? I bet they were looking after you from above." "I'm sure they are," he agreed. "And I bet they're proud of me to have a woman like you by my side, visiting them right now. They di

Ellisa was the first one to get tired and so, she decided to excuse herself. Levius was also going to go with her but there were some matters in business that they were discussing so she told him it was fine.Just as she got inside the room, Ellisa hears her ringtone and so she rushed to their bedroom where her phone was resting on the side table. She snatched it and saw it was Rossie calling her. Before she could slide to answer, the phone call already disconnected and her eyes widened at the sight of spammed texts and missed calls. "What the heck?" she murmurs, sitting on the bed and unlocking her phone. Rossie's texts were on Capslock telling her to answer the phone. So she calls her instead.On the first ring, Rossie picked up and they see each other on screen. "Wassup with all the texts and calls? Is something wrong?""No-- yes!" Rossie indecisively answered. "It's about Jake!" she cries.But hearing that name had put a frown on Ellisa's forehead. She knows Rossie is somewhat gl

"I'm sorry that I called you in the middle of the night for this," Rossie apologized. "It's not a problem. I"m glad you called me," Jake said. After they hung up on the phone, Jake was quick to arrive at her place. And so now, they were on their way to her workplace. It is a bit awkward because the last time they spoke was when she asked him why he cheated on her. Although it was just a day ago, she still feels it fresh in her mind and yes, Ellisa told her to avoid Jake but she can't help herself. She was making a mistake again and she just can't stop it."I thought you wouldn't talk to me anymore," Jake spoke, catching her attention. "I was scared we would be strangers.""How could we? I think we deserve some kind of closure after all the years we've been together.""Closure? I see.""There's no way we can go back and we can't be strangers either." Here it goes again, her eyes getting flooded by water. "You are a bit too late to change, Jake. I am married and I love someone else n

The night before their flight home, Ellisa felt something strange about Jared. She noticed how he has been keeping a scowl for the past three days. A bad day at work? Three consecutive bad days doesn't seem right and she was somehow worried. Just after dinner, Jared didn't stay for the chats, he went straight to the staircase without saying a word to anybody. Ellisa has never seen that side of Jared before, he is definitely terrifying when he is distant. The thing is, everybody is acting like it was normal for him to do stuff like that and now she's confused if she should disregard it.Ellisa knew she couldn't ignore it any longer. So, when finally they were in Levius' room, she sat down on the bed and darted her eyes at her boyfriend. Levius had his brows raised."Jared... he seemed to be in a bad mood," she stated. "It's been three days since I noticed the dark expression on his face. Aren't you worried?""He hasn't said anything," Levius uttered. "Did you try asking Rossie if they
Married by a Couple of Shots Chapter XLVIII
Three nights have passed since Rossie and Ellisa's fight. It's been two shifts since Ellisa was back to work but everything was awkward between Rossie and her. They sit the farthest from each other and even though they had the same breaks, they manage their calls so they would not have the same time to go. "Did you guys have a fight?" Dianna asked Rossie when it was lunch break. Of course, their workmates would find it weird that they were not talking not even saying hi or keeping eye contact. They used to even ask their team manager to get their schedules together or ask someone to swap schedules and now... they're not saying anything.Rossie flashed a sad smile. "We had some misunderstanding," she told her workmate. "I didn't get the chance to explain and I don't know how.""That's sad," Dianne muttered. "Maybe one of these days you'll go up to her and talk. I'm sure Ellisa wants to talk to you too."No. That night was terrible. Ellisa has never slapped her no matter what she did.

Rossie quickly crossed the street without watching from left and right. She didn't care if there was any vehicle, all she see was Jared walking away from her. She needed to catch up before he could open the door to his car and leave without hearing her out. "Jared!" She cries when she knew she couldn't keep up and he reached for his car door. He paused and finally turned to her, his eyes flickered with what seemed to be sadness. "Let me explain!" She was still catching her breath. "Explain what exactly, Rossie?" he coldly asked, glowering at her."It wasn't what you think!" Jared sarcastically laughed, throwing his head to the side and back in front. "You're making fun of me, Rossie. Your lips on his lips and you're telling me it's not what I think?" He continues to laugh waiting for her to respond. "I was saying goodbye and before I knew it, he kissed me!" She explained but she knew he was not going to buy it. "I swear, Jared. I was just saying goodbye to him! I admit he has bee

There were no words that came out of Rossie's mouth. She and Jared stared at each other for minutes until he looked away and started their car. "You don't want to be late for work," he muttered and they drove away from her house.On the way to work, she faces her window, silently crying and thinking about what Jared had said. Does he really mean that? she asked herself. A part of her was telling her that he only said that because he is mad at her. He doesn't really mean that, does he?Jared on the other hand, secretly took a glimpse of his wife. He hears her soft sobs and sniffling and he knows it's his fault. It was hurting him to hear her cry and it pains him to see her tears but he could not help himself.That day, he was there to ask her what was going on but it was different he saw. He felt betrayed. Rossie's lips on Jake were the answer he needed. It stabbed him in the chest straight to his heart and even now, it's still bleeding. He was dying. It was the same feeling-- no, se

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

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
