Married by a Couple of Shots Chapter XVI
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

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

Jared just got out of the building he hates the most. He got into his car and sighed heavily. It always ends like this whenever it comes to this matter. There was no way he could tell anyone about it for now. His family can be overdramatic when it comes to how he is feeling. Plus he is the heir, there's no time to show weakness. From his pocket, he took out his phone and dialed Levius. As always the man picks up fast on the second ring. "Greetings, young master." No matter how much Jared tells Levius to stop calling him that, the man would always addresses him to show respect. Although Levius can be too formal, Jared does treat him as his best friend most of the time. At first, they didn't really get along. Levius was like a robot, someone more protective than his guards but then, later on, he realizes how Levius was so loyal to him. From then on, Levius would know first about everything that's happening in his life. "Hey! I apologize that I'm calling again for another favor,"

Things have just gotten a little awkward for Jared and Rossie. During dinner and even after that, there was a gap between them both. It might not be obvious to others but Rossie could feel the tension between them.When it was bedtime, Jared even made his way to take one pillow and head to the couch. Now she stays in the huge bed alone surrounded by big pillows. She's used to sleeping alone. There was no problem with that, just not in a big bed like this.Rossie couldn't take it and she sits up, sheets rustling. She made her way to peek through the doorway to the couch. She sees the light from his Ipad reflected on his face. He is still awake, she thought. Should she go and make up with Jared? How was she supposed to do that?"I should've kept my mouth shut," she groans, going back to laying down. For an hour, she tossed and turn in the bed. They can't keep avoiding each other or it'll be damn crazy when they pretend in front of the family. Why was he so defensive when she just asked

After a good coffee, Ellisa decided to go shopping for herself. It was payday anyway so she wanted to reward herself with something to keep inspiring herself to do work. It's just a thing she does to keep herself motivated. It's been two days and Levius hasn't contacted her since the time they went for ramen. They ended nicely but the man never came back nor said anything. It shouldn't surprise her anymore, that's how most boys work. They make you feel special and they disappear the next day. It's a natural thing. They just didn't work out. As she was picking out dresses, Ellisa could hear some flirty voices on the next rack. She always hates it when couples get too loud and affectionate in public unless it was her with someone. It had her intrigued so she peeked. Her eyes widened, immediately hiding when she saw the man. When she realized shit, she wished she was just dreaming and peeked again. But this time, it confirmed it all. She took out her phone and took a picture of Jake w

After they choose some dresses, they had to bid Danish goodbye. They still have the makeover that Veronica and Catherine planned but first they had to meet with a party coordinator. It already took them hours just by picking dresses. "Too bad Danielle can't come, Lily has been wanting to meet him again," Veronica mentions. Lily? Who is she? It seems as though Veronica heard Rossie and she added, "Lily is a friend. She is the only daughter of a partnered company, the Adlers."Rossie nodded. "Jared and Lily used to be close together. She used to come around," Keille spoke, her eyes remaining on her phone. "They are still friends." "What happened?" She could not stop herself and asked. It seems to her that Veronica wanted her to ask that question."Don't know," Keille shrugged. "Jared never told you?""No," she muttered. "Oh, don't worry yourself, darling! Jared and Lily were just childhood friends if you look into it," Catherine assures her. Even though that was the case, she still

The whole time they were at Adler's mansion, Rossie was annoyed and it showed on her face exactly how she was feeling. She was so happy when Catherine finally said they were done discussing the pre-theme. Lily offered to stay for some afternoon tea but Veronica declined as they have other plans; the makeover. Rossie never had such a makeover, someone bathing you, giving a massage putting whatever oil to your body, and waxing. The waxing part hurts especially down in the middle. She had tears rolling down her temples. And after the body part, it came to their nails and their hair. Then down to their face where they had their brows tinted and their lashes extended. Since she has quite long thick lashes, she kept it as it was and just had it lifted. Ellisa always bring her to those sessions so she was not new to them. There was only one thing that had her excited to do all these things. Because she was pissed at Lily and Jared for not telling her about that other flower, she wants to m

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.

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
