Married by a Couple of Shots Chapter XIV
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

I don't want it. I don't want a divorce.Those were the words that came out of Rossie's mouth when Jared made love to her last night. Whether it was real or not, he wanted to know why she suddenly said that. If she didn't want a divorce then why was she in his bed right now? Why did she agree to come here with him? It isn't possible that she'd change her mind about him that fast.He looks over his shoulder, staring at his wife sleeping peacefully while he was on his side of the bed sitting down. Thoughts had made their way to cloud his head. This sudden change in their relationship was something unprecedented and he can't help but think something was wrong. Should he really worry about it? He finally has her in his bed, his life, and she doesn't want to get away from him anymore. This wasn't what he planned. He only needed an alibi for her to stay married to him, not that she'll really love him and stay with him. It's too late to change anything. He just has to be better.Jared laid

The time Rossie woke up again, she was all alone in bed. Jared had already told her that he was going to get some work done in the company so she had already expected him to be gone. He did say that she can text or call him anytime she wanted and he'll respond when he gets the time.A bath would be nice. With her sore body, she sits up in bed, slowly gets off, and heads to the bathroom. Yes, she usually saves water but right now, she really wants to try that big bathtub and so she started filling it with water, a warm one.While waiting, she decided to get her phone for some music but then she reads a text from Ellisa asking if she was alright. She sighs heavily.She isn't alright. There are questions she would like to ask Jake. Did he do that because she was thinking about taking her manager's offer to be a Team Lead? But they didn't break up and how could he just bluntly go for another girl without telling her? Oh, who is she kidding? She is even with somebody else, fucking and enj

Veronica knocked on Jared's door for the third time and when she didn't hear any reply, she turned the doorknob and pushed the door open. She usually doesn't invite herself into anyone's room but she can do it whenever it's just Rossie in the room. It's time for a bit of teasing.With a step inside, her heels started clattering on the marble floor as she welcomed herself in. Rossie wasn't in the same mini sala so she figures she might be in bed. Well, that's no fun for her.The moment she was about to turn her heels around to face the door, she paused hearing the giggles in the bedroom. An evil grin plastered on her mouth. Well, the little bud is awake for sure.As she was making her way to the doorway to the bed she listens carefully to each word she could hear. Rossie was talking on the phone with another lady and they were laughing. As she gets closer, she decided to stop and eavesdrop.A couple of giggles and a lot of information about Rossie's situation were exchanged and now Ver
Married by a Couple of Shots Chapter XXII
Three days before the party, Rossie attempted to ask Jared if she could come with him to his workplace. This was something she and Veronica decided on; to investigate what Jared was up to. He seemed so busy these days and he can't even tell her where he was aside from it was work. “So, can I go with you today?” she questions again, giving him those puppy eyes, hoping he'd say yes.“I wonder why you're so curious about my workplace now.” Jared narrowed his eyes at her, giving her a doubting face. “You’re up to something, are you?”“No,” she muttered but the way she looks away made him laugh. He reached for her face and kissed her on the lips before backing away. “I just want to know if you're surrounded by ladies! Fine ones for sure!” “Do you not trust your husband?” he asked, raising his brows at her. This turning of the table made her pout. “You're somehow owning me now. What's changed?” It surprised Rossie how cold he asked her that. Even though he was smiling at her, that questi
Married by a Couple of Shots Chapter XXIII
It has been three days since Ellisa saw Jake with another woman in the mall and now she's been feeling bad for Rossie. She was right all along. Since their days in the university, she has seen Jake with a bunch of girls. Rossie is just that naive, defending that jerk all the time. There was one fault she did in all those years she has been friends with Rossie and it suffocates her sometimes. She was the one who kept those papers Jared and Rossie signed. It was crazy how the next day, she lost them. Then this happened. If she just burned them or crumpled them and throw them in the bin, Rossie’s eyes wouldn't open. “Do you know when Rossie is going to get back?” one of their teammates asked. “She’s so lucky her leave got approved!” One added. “She earned that,” Ellisa defended. If these guys only knew what was going on they would probably understand.“You know what we noticed, you're always on Rossie’s side. Is there any time you hate Rossie?”Hate is too strong of a word. She'd ge

Well, thanks to my best friend I got married so unexpectedly and fell in love with someone who set me free from a toxic manipulated relationship. I had to through a lot just to witness this moment with the love of my life and four-year-old holding mine and Jared's hand. His name is Caleb and no we didn't decide on that, Veronica did.

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. Lara's kit was already there, and every apparatus she needed was ready in the nearest bedroom. Then she asked everyone out because she was also going to clean Rossie.When she was finally alone, she did her things and checked Rossie.

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
