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 h

    If 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

    Who would have thought that the two weeks since that day would feel so short as Rose's busy journey came to an end. It all seemed to be over in an instant, until in the shade of a large, luxurious building she stood. Smiling at her handsome husband whose black hair had grown into a neatly combed bun. The thick eyebrows and gray eyes were a perfect combination, plus the hot touch of lips that sometimes returned her smile, and so whispered the naughty words that the man would later plan after the party was held. There should be nothing for Rose to worry about at this point. Just carrying out the last vestiges of the plan that would lead her to an intact family, then waiting to see how Theo would fight for their happiness together. But as long as she was there. Occasionally moving her feet regularly—back and forth in turns with her arms wrapped tightly around her husband's neck. Rose didn't find anyone who might still bear a faint resemblance to her parents among the a

  • (Not) His Sugar Baby   Meeting

    "Who did you come with?" Rose felt a touch on the top of her head and immediately broke away from Bridgette's embrace. Xelle smiled at her and it seemed as if the man had just gotten home from work. The long blue shirt on the body was slightly ruffled with half of the buttons open, so the reddish marks on the skin of Xelle's chest were faintly revealed. Rose understood... she had just guessed wrong. "I think my arrival has interrupted your fun," she said, not directly answering Xelle's question, but at the same time Rose received a light pinch on the arm as well as Bridgette's 'shut up' gesture. "I'll take Rose inside. Don't forget to take a shower after this, Axe. You're very messy. And one more thing, tell Edward in an hour to pick up Oracle and Campel at school." Already Rose had taken a step towards where Bridgette was leading her, instantly she froze in place remembering Theo in the car. "I can't stay long, Bridgette. Theo's waiting for me." "

  • (Not) His Sugar Baby   Inviting

    "This many invitations, who will be at our event?" Rose's attention was fixed on Theo and the concorde sheet of paper in his hand. Occasionally she turned back to confirm the existence of a stack of invitations arranged in tiers, some of which were in the trunk of the car with the rest sitting on the passenger seat. The golden color of almost all the invitation paper gave a luxurious impression, especially the embossed writing on the surface added an elegant side. Rose liked it when she was fingering the parts of the letters that popped out. It felt like she had just pampered her fingers. "Is your name right there?" But instead of answering Rose's question, Theo asked her that very thing. "It is." For a moment Rose returned her attention to the invitation paper. O'Douglas. Her eyes searched carefully for the name on the back. Rose had never been allowed to bear the title 'O'Douglas' for the rest of her life, but this time Rose had mad

    Mesmerized. That was one of Theo's main reactions the first time Rose stepped out of the dressing room in a creamy white wedding dress like a romantic bride. An interesting conclusion emerged as Theo gazed at Rose as if she were a gentle woman with twists and turns... so beautiful and pure. The woman's sweet smile was something Theo never imagined he would have in full. Rose was absolutely stunning draped in a dress that began its beauty by leaving Rose's neck exposed in a transparent and elegant way. On the chest, the fabric that fit Rose's body was decorated with lace in the shape of spreading flowers and leaves accompanied by a sprinkling of sparkling crystals. From the hip line, the dress was in full bloom, but not beyond the slightest portion that Rose had to lift when stepping slowly. The curve in Rose's lips grew wider as she stared straight ahead. It was in those moments that Rose realized her husband was still silent without saying anything, as if he

  • (Not) His Sugar Baby   Where do we Start

    After a flurry of activity with several dresses and eye-catching accessories. Rose's decision was then made to meet Theo in the office after parting ways with the woman who introduced herself as Alma as well as the woman's two beautiful secretaries, Evalina and Lindsey. The accidental encounter with Lion, whose fever was much better, was the moment when the man told Rose the whereabouts of Theo—who he said he had accidentally seen when Lion walked around several corners of the mansion just to add to the heat. The man wanted to sweat, but Rose's real business was with Theo. She didn't need to worry about anything else, except that her husband might be busy again. That was also what Lion had said before saying goodbye, which eventually led to Rose standing in front of Theo's study door... wondering if she should knock before entering. She didn't. Rose wouldn't do that once the door had been opened. A dimly lit room showed her husband there. Focused on his laptop, while Esmeralda

  • (Not) His Sugar Baby   Fitting

    Loud howls filled Rose's senses almost all the time. She had locked the room. Her face was buried under the pillow, but Theo deliberately let Esmeralda roam the mansion. Occasionally the baritone's voice even chuckled in her ear. They seemed to be very close and perhaps Rose should have given Theo a warning not to make a single disturbing sound. Rose let out a long sigh letting her footprints rest on the cold marble. Step by step she walked out reaching out and pressing down on the doorframe then pulling the frame inwards, that second at the same time Theo's body fell along with Esmeralda who bit the man's forearm. There was no pain, because what Rose found was that Theo was enjoying Esmeralda's treatment. It actually reminded Rose of the first time she was reunited with a Siberian husky and the first time Theo found out Rose was pregnant. She smiled wryly at the thought of those days. If their baby had been saved, her stomach would have swelled up. "You and your wif

  • (Not) His Sugar Baby   Outside

    "Sugar, wait!" The baritone voice in the background continued to call out with the occasional large fingers trying to hold on, but Rose continued to resist. There was a price to pay for Theo's dangerous actions, which even though they had been successfully dealt with still didn't put Rose at ease. Rose didn't like how Theo was indifferent to the man's own safety. Her heart was still pounding loudly at the thought that bad things could happen. Rose's steps quickened after entering the mansion building. Soon she would reach the main room. She pressed the door handle no matter Theo was still trying to persuade her. "Sugar." Theo was very close, so Rose was one step away from crossing the threshold. She deliberately hit the frame very hard and just as Theo was about to enter. "Oh!" The man winced like he was in a lot of pain. While Rose was silent for a while. Silent to understand the situation out there. Only once did Theo complain and the rest was wordle

  • (Not) His Sugar Baby   Trigger

    The trigger contained the deadly wires that Theo had to finish with one hour and one minute left. It was all around him, but perhaps the most appropriate place for him to start was the basement. George was trapped and lost there. Then there was the chip in the corner of the wall that had the potential to blow up the mansion and all the things and creatures inside. After five wasted minutes Theo couldn't let his precious seconds go to waste. He returned to the basement in a real hurry. The conditions in the dimness were still the same as the last time he was there. The chip in the body of the wall and the digital analog continued to show that every moment lost was a very important thing to take into account. Theo scurried quickly through each side of the cellar. At a hidden corner he decided to dismantle some of the stacked objects, some of which were difficult to remove—which although successful did not allow Theo to find the whereabouts of the explosive chip triggers. He

  • (Not) His Sugar Baby   Reckoning

    Rose buried her face deep in Theo's firm chest. She climbed up her husband's frozen body quickly, inhaling the intoxicating scent to make herself a little calmer. Theo still didn't say anything. It hit Rose that she was so worried Theo would reject her plea. Rose didn't want that, immediately tightening the embrace of the arm that curled perfectly between the line of her husband's shoulders. When Theo would start talking Rose was still waiting while not daring to have high expectations. She was scared ... but suddenly felt a small movement, a light stroke on Rose's back including a slow crunching step leaving the basement. "Tell the others immediately, don't forget to prepare Esme and all her needs." Rose caught a glimpse of Travis nodding quickly, and by the end of the hallway they had split up—Rose with Theo, Travis on the other side of the building. "You changed your mind?" asked Rose, half distancing herself so she could cup that stern jaw. Theo was staring so intensely th
