His lil sister. That was obvious. Rose didn't need to show any overreaction, but there was still one thing that had her overwhelmed with curiosity-what and how. She took a step closer, another step... then the distance between them vanished.

Theo's half-naked body didn't matter. Rose touched the surface of that chest slowly-little by little getting acquainted with the sculpted skin to the rows of abdominal muscles. Theo's breathing was labored. Rose could feel it when he looked up, noticing how the look in the ashes was misty with hurt, as well as passion.

"I so fucking miss you, Rose."

Theo's statement was like a lullaby, Rose was forced to sleep just to escape the bad thoughts. She brushed Theo's large fingers away as she felt a gentle squeeze on her arm.

"I still have one more question, and don't think I've forgiven you when you haven't."

    "Lion, I need your help!" There was nothing to explain. Rose needed Lion to go back and break down the door to Dara's room. She had waited, thinking Theo would come out after everything was over. Until the commotion died down a bit, Rose got nothing. Not once did Theo respond to her efforts. Strangely enough, Rose didn't understand why a short sentence from him had such an effect. The waves seemed to crash over their pebble-stuck relationship. They were never okay, like two people who didn't belong together. If Rose hadn't been presumptuous enough to intrude on Theo's past. Maybe there wouldn't have been such a hassle. She didn't expect Theo to have more emotions than she had ever seen. "Come on, Lion, hurry!" Continuing to pull brought Lion to where he needed to be. Rose held her breath, feeling even more disoriented when she heard the same shattering sound, even worse. "Theo is inside. Hurry up and break down the door," Rose said half-urgently. They had to hurry, or somethi

    Behind the face that was buried in the recesses of that warm neck. There was a tinge of reddish color that couldn't help but appear. Not much different from the reaction she showed, Rose realized Theo's body was frozen... until she felt a thorough rubbing of her back softly. "Are you sure, Sugar?" Theo touched Rose so carefully. Adoring every sculpted curve of her female body. Or actually he was neutralizing the shock Rose had created. Theo didn't believe anything at all, it was hard enough, but couldn't resist the kind of wedding Rose wanted. "When do you want to have the blessing?" Theo's question was the trigger for what felt like a real buzz. Rose fumbled, never thinking Theo would be so quick to agree to her request. "When?" She repeated the one word at the beginning, which was the farthest shadow of Rose's memory. "Yes, when do you want to do the blessing?" Rose watched Theo's face carefully, searching for something there... perhaps Theo was offering a joke under the gu

    "Theo?" Rose woke up wondering. In her sleep, she had dreamt of a very real commotion. Faint sounds, even still echoing, formed a trigger in her head. Rose moved to position herself to sit back slowly. Since the commotion yesterday, until the situation got better-Rose had to face Theo's attitude that never let her go. However, this time was different, Theo was nowhere to be found on the side of the bed. As Rose recalled, before she fell asleep. The man was still focused on playing with the laptop on his lap. "Mercy, sir. I won't do it again." A faint whisper of fear caught Rose's attention. Supposedly in the middle of the night like this, there was no sound that was still propagating as a wave emission, and was captured directly by her hearing. But Theo's distinctive baritone voice added to Rose's curiosity. She immediately moved, slowly towards

    Who could help Rose hide her face from the guests? The situation at the altar was inevitably tense. It had only been a few seconds that she had felt resigned to sing her readiness for marriage vows, naming Theo as her partner for life. Now the admiration of some people made her unable to restrain herself. Hesitantly Rose's net glowed, watching the faces there. There had to be a justification, that the blessing was just a formality. Those sitting upright were Theo's people. There wasn't anyone Rose would have expected to be unfamiliar. Not even Bridgette, who was not part of the event today. Rose turned to look at Theo sharply. The man who could not be expected - shattering all Rose's dreams because of his madness. Rose felt a twinge of regret for making a decision that made her lose face. "Give me your hand, Sugar. You're keeping everyone waiting." The innocent face smiled sweetly, took Rose's fingers and pinned on the ring that Rose patented as a sac

    "You took me all the way from Milan to Toronto just to get that thing in your hand, Sugar?" Theo had been watching Rose's movements from the moment she stepped out of the apartment. Those unusual steps, several times barely holding her balance. Rose's wide-eyed stare and pale face never escaped Theo's attention. He also took a wide step, taking Rose's body into his arms with ease. "This is the result of not listening to my orders. You're pregnant, you shouldn't be exhausted like this." Theo's tone was firm, carrying Rose's body towards the exit. "Can't we rest here for the night?" "There's a lot of dust here. It's not good for your health. Besides, I asked you to sleep on the way, but you wouldn't listen." "That's because I didn't want you to take advantage of an opportunity," Rose muttered, ending with her face buried in the crook of Theo's neck. That pleasant body scent occasionally made her noggin clo

    The tendrils of the wind were like serenades that echoed in Rose's hearing. She noticed two separate buildings, one of which was a pavilion built above sea level. While the main building, almost entirely made of translucent glass, towered a few meters from the shore. Rose's steps were in tandem with the man leading her over the suspension bridge. There was no telling what purpose Theo had in bringing her to the pavilion. They were supposed to prepare everything before actually staying in the villa for the next few days. "Don't you want to pack up your things? I see they brought three suitcases," Rose asked, occasionally turning to look at the three men who walked resolutely into the building across the land. "They'll get everything ready. I told you, you just need to enjoy the facilities that are already available." "But I think this is too much, Theo. We have hands and feet, we can do things ourselves, why order others

    Rose rolled her eyes lazily when she heard the third sneeze from the same person after inhaling the spicy aroma, which was emanating from her half-finished spagetti. Rose just needed to separate a few pieces for a 'less spicy level' like Theo wanted, or her own. Then she added the chili seasoning and stirred the spaghetti thoroughly. "That's taking too long, Sugar!" a protest from the bar counter prompted Rose to turn around. "You can't even help me. So don't talk so much, just sit there. Wait for me to finish with your big portion!" said Rose exasperatedly. She still remembered every detail of Theo's answer when she asked him to take part in preparing the food. 'Can't turn on the stove.' That magical human could only blame passion and anger! There was absolutely no point in being at the kitchen table, except waiting for the dishes to be served. The impatient face, which even Rose

    "Where are my normal clothes?" Rose's emotions overflowed, coming at the man who was busy facing the monitor screen in the living room. His demeanor was nonchalant—still sitting relaxed, with his back against the back of the sofa and his laptop on his lap. He stared at Rose for a moment, then refocused on the screen. "You suddenly become a robot when you're immersed in your laptop!" Rose said. Throwing some lingerie from the palm of her hand until it landed right on target. She succeeded in making Theo's body jerk with the sheer fabric lodged in the adonis' face. Instead of getting angry. What Theo did was cause a reddish effect on both of Rose's cheeks. Red exactly like the fiery color of one of the lingerie spread wide before her eyes. Damn Theo, the man deliberately emphasized the shape rather than the size of the lingerie by holding it up high. "It fits your body perfectly. S

    "Axe, is this your flash drive? I found it in your pants pocket when I was washing." The man focused on the desk shifted his gaze to the woman walking slowly towards him. The forehead was folded like he was thinking about something. No idea for how many seconds the owner of heterochromia eyes was trying to pry something out of his mind. A flash drive .... Xelle grasped the object firmly. "Damn!" He then rubbed his rough face, having forgotten the CCTV evidence he had gotten to show Rose. "I have to go, baby girl." Everything in sight was packed up in an instant, including the laptop that was about to be taken out. "Where are you going?" A soft voice interrupted the wide strides. "To see Rose." As if he ignored Bridgette's presence. Xelle approached his wife again, gently touching the skin of the woman's face as she gazed deeply at him. "Can I come?" Bridgette's spontaneous question made the man shake his head faint

    The faint howl of a loud howl drew Rose's senses slowly blinking. The first time she opened her eyes the only sight she got was her husband's handsome face. The too-close position presented how the texture of the skin lured Rose's fingers to just touch the forehead and creep smoothly towards the jawbone. She thought once he woke up, those eyes would show a beautiful infusion of color. Turns out Theo was still comfortably in the same state. Not even a hint of anything else, Theo was quietly closed, too far away for Rose to reach. He murmured a little .... Louder howls from outside forced Rose to blow air through her lips. Then she got up, releasing the hug on Theo's body indirectly. Half transfixed, Rose huddled with Lion in the doorway. The frame was still submerged in Rose's body, only the face poked out and when she glanced down... Rose's senses found Esmeralda already equipped with an oversized pink ribbon pinning the fur on the top of the head. "Why did you

    "Thank you for your help, Miss. Can we leave now? I need to check on Mr. T, and Lion... I think it's time to take Esmeralda for grooming." Rose looked up and took a breath as Travis and Lion took turns looking at her. A moment ago they had just returned from the Verasco mansion. Several wounds lodged on the body due to the shootout incident, Rose was instead responsible for treating the three men who barely even complained during the cleaning of the blood on the gaping wounds. The wounds were fortunately not that severe. Only wide scratches on the hands, shoulders, and legs, so it was not enough to make it difficult for them to return to their activities. "With my pleasure, Travis. I'll catch up with you later." Rose's thin smile signaled to Travis something he could easily understand. Still Rose looked over the shoulders of the two men away. The curl on her lips disappeared as she looked down again. "They're so single, why didn't you date one of them yesterd

    Verasco recalls memories of a stack of dusty albums. It was .... 25 years ago a deal was struck between him and O'Douglas. The two partners had contradictory jobs. He who was in power in a dark organization—disguised the truth of himself by becoming the owner of a large business. O'Douglas is a geneticist or doctor who studies genetics, the science of genes, heredity, and organism variation. O'Douglas has done some research. The man who actually works under a non-governmental agency to create a genetic engineering of living things, whether humans, animals or plants with his wife, Elisabeth O'Douglas, a chemist. However, due to one thing and another related to the ability that is used for crime. O'Douglas decided to leave the non-governmental agency. Then switch functions together with Verasco to conduct a research in the form of personal needs. At that time, O'Douglas' baby girl, about three months old, was tested on a new invention with Elisabeth's help, namel

  • (Not) His Sugar Baby   Hardly Believe

    Verasco was too enamored of the impossible. Rose couldn't, and wouldn't want to get involved in something that wasn't ingrained in her life principles. From the beginning, Rose's goal in trapping herself there was Theo, so it would always be Theo she wanted. Even if he didn't respond at all to the various activities around him, including her standing a few meters away from him. Three months. Rose imagined how she would have to vent everything she had missed during that time. Too long to admit that she missed Theo. Everything that had ever happened between them, whatever it was, it felt like Rose wanted to hug that body right now. It didn't matter that she would be stung even worse by the menacing and dangerous surroundings of the electric shock device around her husband. "Stop where you are." Rose's steps paused as she took a step towards Theo's body, pushing him closer. However, the reflection of Verasco's sardonic smile was the worst part of Rose's decisio

  • (Not) His Sugar Baby   War

    "An intruder has entered!" The warning from outside broke the silence in the clawed skies of the building. The troops hidden in the scatter hallway rushed out. Some of them were already dedicated to acting when informed. It was a strategy that Verasco had made accommodations for in case even under the best of circumstances they still had to be vigilant. Thus, the enemies in front of them would be easily conquered. Right at the entrance of Verasco's large mansion. A group of troops led by two people at once were already attacking each other, as if they were ready to fight over the order of power that belonged to Verasco, an organizer who did not even look where he was. It shouldn't be that way .... It was just that when Travis and Rose had left, on the other side coinciding with Edward's arrival—followed by Anthony next, that second Xelle began to think about pulling the bait. He single—handedly went to the guard at the very front simply to distract the attention

    "I warned you not to participate. Now your presence is like a second barrier. We can't act freely." Rose turned away when Xelle chided rudely. "You mean I'm a burden here? I can take care of myself if that's what you think." No less sharply she lashed out at the man who was staring straight ahead. "I wonder how far you can take them. You'd better sit quietly in the car." Still with the focused, indifferent gaze Rose was getting from the man in front of her. She turned away solidifying the sentence buried in the back of her throat. "You underestimate women too much. I'll show you that I can handle anything that comes my way." "And if you continue to pick a fight with me here. I can assure you we'll never get started," Rose continued half-commemoratively. Xelle reminded her exactly of Theo who almost never relented when it came to arguing. Rose looked away not wanting to be influenced further. Momentarily noticing Travis pulling himself forward a step. "Wh

    There wasn't enough feeling during the trip to Italy. Rose's gaze was always unfocused, still speared by a jumble of bad thoughts regarding Theo's condition and how she would get her husband back. Theo was taken away and hidden by Verasco. No idea where. But the next stage of the location they would go to was Verasco's headquarters. Lion assumed it was there, a little approved by Travis who confirmed. A while ago, they had tracked the last point of Verasco's car through GPS coordinates. Unfortunately, the middle-aged man knew such things would happen, so he deliberately blocked access by not turning on the GPS function in the car. They could have hacked into the city's CCTV footage. Analyze the license plate or where cars similar to Verasco's stretched across Milan. However, the decision would have affected their chances. At worst, from the time Rose and the others arrived at Theo's mansion, two hours back was all Verasco required of them, especially Rose—

    "Now how is Theo?" she asked as she scrutinized Lion like he had just breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm not talking to an empty tomb," Rose quipped, thinking how foolish it would be to speak up in the face of something that couldn't possibly give her an answer. And so, Lion understood m—with some difficulty, he positioned himself to rise, though only half-slouching and showing a face twisted in pain. "Sir ...." "Sir is still in a coma, Miss." Lion's answer was a great success in exploding the contents of Rose's mind. So all this time, while Theo had never come to her, it wasn't that the man was unwilling. But there was a wall too high stretched between them. Unconsciousness. A state of sleep that was too deep. Making her husband never present in the nights Rose was always haunted by loss. She took a ragged breath... no longer knowing how to describe the truth that hit her sanity. "Theo is in a coma and why did you have to hide that from me?" "I'm so
