Reflecting on himself, Lion now understands what it's like to wish for something that is impossible. It's hard to put into words-hoping for humans is the worst part. As Verasco had requested, Lion would not contact the middle-aged man again just to find clues.
Luckily, they currently held one piece of evidence-the artificial dart designed to release butolium liquid. Lion noticed the pointed weapon. Forced to take it out of the basement at Theo's request. Moving away from the dim light. Lion stepped up the stairs, then turned into a hallway with yellow lights on each pillar. Leaving the secret door. Lion walked straight, up a different set of stairs. The study was his main destination. Lion also grabbed Theo's laptop that was lying on the table. That was all he did before turning to leave the thickly blanketed cold. Lion's attention should hIf Theo is not mistaken. He still has the photo of the gun logo archived in a zip along with a password if he needs to open it. However, the risk is still waiting in the wings. Reopening files and folders that have been hidden is like letting old memories that have not been completely buried come back to the surface. Unfortunately, the only choice Theo had was to continue or quit. When Theo decided to do so. Indirectly he dug a hole for himself, but if Theo just stayed in place the hole would break bigger. Adding to the problem, even hurting others. He couldn't let that happen, if the only culprit he could think of turned out to be true. VLDMR. There was no mistaking it. Vladimir was the brains of the subtle attack. The man, and his henchmen, should still be behind bars for the assault and murder of Dara, which Theo reported along with the cctv footage taken from the old building below six years ago.
The wet touch silenced some of Theo's thoughts. He didn't expect Rose to make a sudden attack by moving to sit on his lap, and touching the back of his head, just because of the last statement he said. For a long time, Theo's smile widened involuntarily. Letting the lick of Rose's full lips last for a while, followed by a tongue that darted in - cramming the contents inside his oral cavity. "Good kisser, huh?" muttered Theo when Rose broke away. The faint look Rose gave him didn't stop Theo from trying to figure out what she wanted. "Tell me." Rose's whisper was barely audible, exactly with explosive curiosity. Because Theo was known as someone different from what she had seen a minute ago. If the man was crying just because he was watching something from the monitor screen that was forcibly closed. It meant that Theo had such deep feelings, for what-Rose did not understand. "Just let me
I ruined her dream. -Theodore Witson . . . The holy altar and the wedding vows that had just been said, were a testament to the struggle after the complicated story they had gone through together. Rose's smile widened feeling the euphoria that also flowed in her chest. Bridgette's happiness was truly something Rose could not express in words. One week after the troubles that took place in the mansion, it wasn't bad enough after Theo received an antidote from a strange man. A Mysthist that Rose doesn't know much about. However, Xelle seemed so familiar that he forgot about wanting to force Rose away. He seemed to trust Theo far more, who sometimes spoke through the language of the eyes. "I've never seen your face this bright." The voice beside Rose caught her attention. She glanced at the man sitting on the next bench.
"I don't know if you're in a mode, or if you really want Oracle to call you daddy." Rose spoke focused on staring out the window. The display of beautiful nature in motion was far more interesting than the man beside her. Something felt bad before they left the mansion located in the middle of the forest. Rose had objected quite a bit when the Oracle hadn't rejected Theo's offer. Even Bridgette herself approved of what shouldn't have happened. After all, Theo had used Oracle as bait just to lure Rose into serving him right at the beginning when they started to get into trouble. Theo, who was an uninvited guest until Rose found out he was a client under an assumed name, was still in Rose's head for several incidents. The chastity that was taken from her is still in the shadows. Rose's breath hitched as the car, which had left the forest track, entered the city. She waited for Theo's reply, which had yet to come.
Magdalena, oversized suitcase in hand, climbed the stairs one by one, not caring that Lion tried to prevent every detail of the action she took. There were seven days left in the divorce trial, enough to convince Magdalena to re-enter Theo's mansion as a sanctuary. She didn't blame the handsome judge, who so easily fell for her charms. It was a win-win deal. Magdalena only had to serve the handsome man when and where they had to prepare themselves. She couldn't wait to see what Theo's reaction would be at the end of his own lawsuit. "Stop, ma'am." "Let go! Don't touch me." Magdalena brushed off the stranglehold on her wrist. "You'll pay a very bad price if I fall." It went on without stopping. Magdalena stomped the suitcase on the marble with a piercing gaze. Not hesitating to grin cruelly, she approached the two people who were silent.
"Shut up! Keep your boundaries, Magda." Theo looked away, glaring at the cold, untouched Lion. "Make sure Rose doesn't go anywhere. Hold on, take her to the guest room." "Yes, sir." After Lion's departure, Theo locked onto Magdalena with a ripple of anger. Keeping a few meters away, to avoid the body scent that made his digestive system churn. Theo chuckled. The second time Magdalena's arrival had been equally disruptive. Too presumptuous. How could she have entered under such close surveillance. Did Theo have to wrap her mind around the fact that Magdalena had a manipulative nature that could not be underestimated? "I don't know if you're still connected or not. But you shouldn't have come here when in seven days we'll be nothing." Theo's statement received a sardonic response. Magdalena tossed her hair back with a haughty smile that never went away. "You c
"Open the door, Lion. You can't lock me in here. I want out!"Rose repeatedly pressed on the doorframe. Hoping to be freed from the impeccable room, which had a thick glass window on one side. There didn't seem to be a single part that Rose could access by simply sliding the frame tightly together. She was completely trapped. The door she tried to open was also a scary specter. Lion had probably gone too far, leaving her alone to struggle like an insane woman.From the beginning Rose never expected to be trapped in a situation like this. Why would Theo hold her back if the one person he had hoped for was already back-coming with the arrogance and humiliation she had to endure. Rose saw for herself how Theo fell so badly with the dream. What else to expect? Wouldn't the trigger for his sleep problems be cured by being under the same roof? Rose's body moved back a few steps. Taking a sitting position on the bed, her half-empty net stared straight ahead. She shou
Rose's eyes narrowed sharply. Taking a cautious stance when she heard the sound of keys being turned from outside. She got up, the sight of Theo's shoulder making her step quickly. "Open the door. I want out!" Rose pushed the big body out of the way. Repeatedly pressing the door knob like she did moments ago. Damn! Theo had acted out of her control first. "The keys are here." The jingling of two or three keys caught Rose's attention. She approached Theo with anger in her eyes. Rose's arms were outstretched, reaching for the impossible. Theo would never let her go so easily. "Give it to me!" Rose said coldly. "You can't keep me here. Forget that stupid bet. I want nothing more to do with you!" Rose thinned her lips. Looking for the slightest way to trick Theo beside her. Maybe a little weakness could help Rose break free from the man's forced confinement. "N
Rose had to admit that Theo was quite different by remaining silent when their position was intact. The last sentence from her was ignored, the man was busy sniffing Rose's body scent. Deeply nuzzling the surface of her flat stomach. "Take a shower." Rose played with the black hair warmly. She smiled as Theo looked up at her. "Take a bath with me?" The ash bead drowned Rose deep in the warm ocean. She pursed her lips as she pulled Theo's facial skin wide to the side. "I'm old enough to bathe by myself. Hurry up...." A faint shake of Rose's head brought her to fall on her back on the bed. Theo's thirsty face and the man's large fingers began to dig into a t-shirt depicting a black bear, just like Theo who was currently resting on top of her. "I told you to take a shower, Theo. Not—" Rose was silenced by the tongue thrusting into her mouth. The sound of a wet sniffle trails off—a greeting of desire igni
Slowly Rose's eyelids slipped from their valves. The same Theo stared, silhouetted against each other in the mirror—Rose was lost in the seduction of the locking gray bead. "I was thinking of Oracle. He knows I don't like wearing earrings. Deliberately gifted me earrings so I'd wear them," Rose replied, successfully drawing one of Theo's eyebrows up high. "He's here, isn't he? Why don't you go straight to him." Theo's baritone voice whispered softly. Comparable to the smile on Rose's lips that curved again-this time briefly and too faintly. "He's back home ...." "Home?" Rose's body was slightly freed as Theo moved his face away from the crook of her neck. "Yes. Axe came to pick him up earlier." One step away she found Theo moving backwards. "Strange. Oracle came home because he was afraid of me, right? Did I hurt him too much?"Theo's quiet tone disturbed Rose's mind. She scrutinized the few times Theo's expre
Rose didn't care how the swaying bed jerked like a violent swinging shock. She maximized each powerful gallop like a giant crashing into the earth. Theo's body was a soft target for her feet. The man moaned in a submerged voice. Yet, also with pleasure... sometimes asking Rose to move from one spot to another. "Up again, Sugar. Up to the shoulders." Rose chuckled, still doing everything Theo wanted. One foot stomped even harder on her husband's hot, sexy shoulders. "That's it," Rose said. One leap ended the earthquake on the surface of Theo's body. She flung herself down beside the sleeping man. "You said you will give me back my gift box!" "I need to know. Who gave you the gift?" "Oracle. Here, give it back quickly." Rose's arms extended to pull the red velvet box in Theo's grasp. Their positions were in sync, both using their arms as a fulcrum to lift their chests. "Let me open it." Theo's large fingers separa
"No, you don't. You had your fill of acting like a baby last night." Rose ruffled the remaining strands of hair that still dangled over half of Theo's face. She looked down, searching for the most comfortable spot to strike. "Ouh, Sugar ...." A contrived hiss. Rose knew that no matter how much she clenched her teeth, it wouldn't give Theo much leverage. "Let go. I have to meet, Axe." "You son of bitch. I hope you don't leave before I get back." The chances of escape were slim in the conditions Rose had to face. She wasn't going to waste it, deliberately hunting her nimble footsteps leaving Theo alone lost on the bed. Rose reached for the doorframe. The hinges clicked after she positioned herself facing the man who had been calling impatiently. "You're taking so long." The stifled protest from the owner of the deep, raspy voice uploaded a barely perceptible smile on Rose's lips. "Sorry, Axe. I h
"Open your eyes, Theo." The throbbing was still as loud as it had been the first time Theo had spoken. Rose's heart and head were fighting each other. Each fighting for the space that overlapped the boundaries she had created for herself. In between came a strange feeling, which Rose could not organize into a symphony. She was a jumbled mess of randomness. Should have reconsidered Xelle's sentence a moment ago, was it true that Rose was trying to stay with someone who made her get lost in her own feelings? .... No, she wasn't. Rose didn't want to be confused by all that reality. As far as possible, she separated the things that shouldn't be lodged in the deepest corner of her heart. Towards a kind of choice which is the most appropriate to win Rose's sanity. She didn't want to be conquered. "Wake up. Get up, Theo!" Rose squeezed the clay muscles in her husband's arm. Turning the curled up body to face the ceiling of the main room. "T
"What conclusion?" A look of unequal color narrowed sarcastically. Rose's face was lifted a little roughly until she looked up and stared at each other. "It's so bad that even saying his name scares Oracle. And you say he didn't mean it?" Xelle's whisper was like a spark of fire. Quite disturbing if Rose had to admit it. She brushed off the lingering link of fingers, though Xelle's actions were not hurtful. "Theo didn't mean to. I was the one who misplaced the Oracle in our midst," Rose argued, not realizing how the blind finally blinked. "You're defending him, Rose?" Rose swallowed harshly. The glint in her eyes flickered quickly. "I'm not. It's just that you don't understand. I told you, that Theo did that out of his control. He had a nightmare last night." Rose held back the lump in the back of her throat. "You know I love Oracle, Axe, he's my son too. But please don't make a mess here. I've seen my husband hurt enough times. Not anymore. P
"Oracle, are you sure you want to go straight home? Not wait for Om T to wake up first?" Oracle's rejection firmly dispelled the offer Rose had repeatedly made. Rose's breath rushed out, lips pressed together thinly. She contemplated everything that had not and would happen. In front of her, from a distance Rose had guessed what Xelle's reaction would be, if the blue bruise on Oracle's conspicuously elastic bandage—covered wrist caught the heterochromia's eye. As slow as a leaf combing Rose changed position. Towering high, she awaited the quick approach of the one who was now beside her. "Daddy." The thin curve of the lips responded to Oracle's greeting. A neat knit of eyebrows rose with Xelle's sharp eyes scrutinizing. He took a deep look at Rose's face, then turned back to the first focal point. His large body knelt down, light as a feather to reach for Oracle's small fingers—noticing carefully the cloth wrapped densely... breaking the suspi
"Travis." Rose pushed her way in, making the man behind the ledger jump. "Sorry, Travis. I was in a hurry." "What is it, Miss?" The light question came after Travis closed the thin sheet marked with a string. "Do you have any painkillers or anything to treat the bruises on Oracle's hands? Theo just had a nightmare and accidentally did this to him. I'm scared if anything happens." Travis's eyebrows shot up. "Mr.T just had a nightmare?" he asked. In stark contrast to Rose's haste. Travis was too calm to notice the extent of the bruise. "No need to worry, miss. You'd better see the master, I'll treat him." Travis smiled. She hesitated between refusing or agreeing. Rose glared at Travis and Oracle's faces in turn. She blinked. "Are you sure there's nothing to worry about?" "Yes, Miss. I can handle it. You should see the master. He may need you." Stunned, considering things from all angles. Rose finally sighe
"Uncle T, you hurt me. Let me go!" "Uncle T!" Rose tried to understand the situation in the dim room. Faint squeals of pain clashed in the air. Rose frowned, as the almost uninterrupted movement in its entirety pulled her closed brown eyes wide open. In front of Rose several black events were fully recorded, broadcasting the silhouette of a rough resistance along with a small body that was trying hard to pull himself out of the grip of the subconscious. Rose's heart hammered violently. All the chaos overlapped to form ornaments in her head. She took definite steps, quickly bringing half the darkness to light. And then some things that Rose couldn't digest properly, appeared in a heap, jolting her feelings. On that torture—like bed .... Oracle was completely unable to resist the strong grip that could be seen from the muscles digging into the surface of the large, clayey, man—sized arms of the person there. The
