The reflection of the body in front of the mirror showed a great revelation. There was a small creature, which had grown long enough to become a part of her body and life.
Rose smiled briefly as the strokes on her flat stomach created a warm sensation. She took a deep breath, slowly coming to terms with her chaotic state, though she never expected to be caring for her flesh and blood alone. Rose had thought she really had the same fate as Bridgette, who had to endure pain. Searching for direction so desperately, and unable to control her feelings of devastation and disappointment. They should have been different. Rose convinced herself not to fall into the trap of wanting to end her life. Bridgette's screams when she found out the truth - she was pregnant from Xelle's rape, still lingered in Rose's mind. she didn't want it to end with her. It was enough that in the hospital she acted like a foThe one month that Rose had promised, was almost at the end of the day. Sooner or later, no matter what, Rose would have to convince the Oracle of one fact, which he had rejected for the countless number of times as untrue. For a moment Rose was stunned. Not a little she felt... when Oracle was with her, another threat would come to trap the child in an unpleasant situation. She really did. Rose was afraid that something would happen again. It was enough that once and for all she had encountered a painful incident, where Oracle was held hostage. The rest of the time Rose didn't want it to happen again, let alone for her to act recklessly towards others just because Oracle was out of her reach. Theo... the man who was the victim of the rampage. Long time no see Rose was sure the stab wound she gave the man had healed far from anything.
Three weeks of letting ego triumph over longing was like forcing Theo to fall to the bottom of a cliff-there were so many bushes wrapped around him that he couldn't fight back. Theo sat motionless in front of his laptop. Day after day, he could only monitor Rose's movements from the hacked CCTV. The soundless video presented in front of him, sometimes haunted Theo to do one thing - go and meet her, even though it never happened. He still waited for Rose to call him, just to hear the tenderness that had become his addiction. Still waiting, no matter how easy it was for him to hack into Rose's cell phone, just to water a little bit of the dryness in his heart. Still faithfully waiting, no matter if his patience was fruitless. The woman who was so expected never lived up to expectations. Everything was beyond reason. Supposedly, having come this far, what else did Theo hold on to from his
Preparations that have gone so far, nurturing hope for those who have struggled, against the nature of the clause—some are covered in blood, some are nurturing pus to the point of kneeling, scratching just to be happy. In simple terms, fate has measured the extent of one's survival by creating two crazy elements between transit and separation ... when choosing one, others will call it selfishness. However, when choosing both, there are not a few who say it is hardship. Like today, exactly one month after the promise Rose made. She was going to present a sweet surprise to her friend, after experiencing the Oracle's rejection. Rose had succeeded. Now the boy was ready. More than ready when he heard the news of being picked up. Even now he was standing a few meters from the doorway, facing straight out. The smiling face with its impatient look really made Rose look like a lucky human being who was presented with a beautif
"Rose, thank you again. I don't know what my life would be like without your help." Bridgette hugged tightly the body of the beautiful woman, who was currently returning her warmth. "You're welcome," Rose whispered as she gently rubbed up and down Bridgette's shoulders. "Tell me, in what way should I repay your kindness?" Not only Xelle, Bridgette also could not help but make sure her voice sounded so bitter. She couldn't bear to take Oracle from Rose. But what to do? Bridgette had no choice. If she left Oracle with Rose, the child would lose a complete family figure. Bridgette also didn't want to drive Xelle and Oracle apart again, as she had done in the past-hiding Oracle's true identity, causing great conflict between her and the man who was now her husband. Bridgette had separated father and son since Oracle was still in the womb. She didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past. And if tru
Come. Save me, before I fall too far. ________________________ After a long silence behind the door of Rose's room, waiting for the farewell presented in front of him to completely disperse. Theo stepped out swiftly to fill the silence, following the whereabouts of someone who was now submerged by the body of the sofa. Theo thinned his lips, his fingers tightening on the headrest of the sofa where Rose had her back. The gray gaze that had been aiming at Rose sharply, turned shady as he witnessed for himself how that frail body curled up, holding back grief with a half-empty gaze—completely unaware of his presence behind. "Oracle." The murmur was unconsciously racing to make Theo realize something. Rose looked more like alabaster, which had to be treated well or it would break into pieces. Theo's exhale aired softly. Without saying anything he straightene
Theo lifted her face. His touch moved upward, getting closer until it touched the collar of the shirt that hung perfectly around Rose's neck. He murmured in satisfaction, managing to slip the fabric that hid that beautiful body to be freely exposed. "So sexy." Theo focused his gaze on one point. The sculpture he had been longing for really made his unable to look away. He looked down again, wanting to savor the skin of the chest that was puffed forward. "Pervert!" "Get off me!" Rose pushed, pushing away Theo's face that was so close. The thirsty gaze that the man was showing really made Rose lose her mind. They had just met, and Theo already wanted to touch her. What was that man thinking! "I'm not wrong. You are indeed a perverted version of Oracle. Very perverted! Not even worthy of being considered an Oracle." This time Rose pulled the soft black hair bac
Are you here for me at all? ________________________ "I told you not to pay that debt, but you still did!" Rose twisted Theo's body as the men who were not expected to be there left, leaving them glaring and pointing at each other. A heartfelt atmosphere was burning wildly between them. One particularly peaceful face seemed to freeze, staring at Rose with a soulless gloom. Rose moved backwards as step by step, the human who often changed his attitude for no reason approached. It continued like that until Rose's body jerked against the wall behind her quite hard. Rose could not say anything, when she felt a hand brush her hair back. The face was indeed too cold, but the touch was the complete opposite-so gentle and careful. "Several days ago, I was so mad at you. No, not only you gave me back my money without my permission." "But I felt that you insult
"You're beating really hard." Suddenly Rose's sentence made their bodies separate. Theo who chose to be far away with a mischievous look. He looked dark with an unfocused gaze. Again and again like that, until he blinked back into serious mode. "Thumping how, it's also called human, if it's not thumping it's called vampire," Theo said, stepping towards the sofa to avoid Rose's gaze. "If you'd told me from the start they'd hurt you, I might have done something," Theo continued to change the subject. Taking the platinum card from the nightstand and breaking it in half. He had seen how Bridgette had given it to Rose. Just waiting for the right time to break a high-end card that had changed hands. "Why did you do that!" Rose moved quickly to catch up with Theo. Staring wide-eyed at the perfection separated into two halves. "You don't need that anymo
Waking up under the warm, soothing gaze of her husband's eyes seemed to lead Rose astray into the gray beads and thick fur that seduced her defenses. She closed her eyes again and nuzzled the surface of Theo's chest more closely. Inhaling the masculine scent that never faded a bit until the only thing Rose couldn't escape was that intoxicating fragrance. Rose deepened the sweep of her face in search of the most comfortable position, at least until Theo embraced her with his arms, but he did not. Theo gently grasped her dark brown hair, which felt just right as the man's large fingers sank between strands and then rubbed the back of Rose's head lightly. "Still sleepy, Sugar?" Theo's baritone voice was crisp as if the man had been preparing for a long time to ask her just one question. Rose pulled herself up onto Theo's body. Let her husband lower his head slightly, and she would look up to start the conversation. "You've been up since earlier?" That swee
Rose woke up amidst the silence passing through her body. She scanned the perimeter of the living room still sharing the same oxygen and other things that wouldn't change. Including her husband—Theo on the side sitting back with his beady eyes closed so calmly, as if unaffected by the slightest movement from Rose who had just removed the arm band around that solid and firm body. She didn't know the last time Theo had immersed himself in the deep sea between them. Rose only remembers the little part of her that couldn't hold on any longer, then fell asleep clinging to Theo's body. While her husband was busy drumming on the keys of the keyboard, occasionally rubbing the top of Rose's head–offering a nod to the drowsiness and heaviness in her eyes. Rose's gaze shifted momentarily to an object on Theo's lap. It looked like Theo's coding work had been completed. A horizontal green line almost a quarter full filled the empty box lengthwise on the monitor screen. Then Rose as
"You brought Esme out of the cage to meet Mr. Zever, Miss?" Lion's one swift question seemed to intimidate Rose that she had just made a big mistake. While twisting the lid of the jar of snacks that had just been removed from a whole plastic packet, Rose deliberately did not let her gaze linger on Lion for long. Neither did she deny the accusation based on the 'truth'. It was Rose, and she had no intention of simply wishing for time to turn back to fix her empty knowledge. If Rose hadn't brought Esmeralda to the main room and sent Zever into a tizzy. Maybe she wouldn't have been hounded by her own thoughts about Theo waiting in the living room and her accompanying her husband on the hack. Last time Rose had told her everything. All about the problems they had to face together. And just like that—there wasn't much of a response from Rose after she ended her long string of sentences. Theo was silent, but Rose was sure he had processed all the information well.
"Can you, Theo?" repeated Rose. Without specifying an answer she wanted to understand what Theo was thinking. Theo's silence was like ice until the atmosphere in the room changed. "Theo ...." "We can't predict what problems will happen in the future." "Yes, I'll try not to put you in any danger. But I can't promise." "I'm talking about you. Not me." To not put her in danger. Rose didn't think that was what she meant. "I know. I can take good care of myself." "But you didn't even dodge when I shot you." Rose parted the blanket between them. Her gaze fell to where she had fired hot lead at Theo. Already back to full skin, the scars were invisible—perhaps Travis had given them an elixir. Some of the wounds on Theo's body weren't as gruesome, except for the part where the shredded wound merged with a fold of flesh. "I didn't dodge, because I knew you weren't a danger to me." "It just looks that way, doesn't it? In fact, I put m
Rose never looked away from the sleeping face in front of her. Theo had said he wanted to sleep, and he did just that after their intimacy ended. The intimacy while Theo was awake was exciting, but what was unforgettable was that Theo held Rose almost tightly, never once releasing the embrace until all Rose could do was stay still. Occasionally she would have to wail at Dara's figurine. Rose imagined how if Dara hadn't had such a bad experience, maybe she would have seen what a happy man her husband was without having to carry guilt for almost the rest of his life. Rose understands that Theo might be carrying all the wounds, especially Verasco's denial of his existence. And it was Theo who had to bear every bit of pain that Zever should have. Rose had already found the answer to the very first question posed to Theo. She had once hurt the palm that now often caressed her, when she lost Oracle and caused Theo to come face to face with Bouldog. Rose questioned why Theo didn't sh
"Damn woman. How dare you play behind my back!" A thrown item almost hit the woman who was staggering in fear. Still in her nun's clothes, the woman's body was dirty and covered in bruises. Her long hair was disheveled. The woman grimaced with the corners of her lips trembling in fear. It was her fault that she was found in a state of no escape. The rage of a man was about to take her life. A man in a fit of rage is truly merciless. She endured every punishment, especially the way the cigarette flame touched the skin of her hands and feet. She just resigned herself unable to hold on to the resistance. It was all too late. Couldn't get rid of the savage, crazy and heartless old man. "Mercy, sir," she said softly, but explosions of rage overwhelmed the worn-out warehouse. She was helpless. Her long hair was pulled back to stare up at a face full of frowns and vicious streaks that went everywhere. Then a slap made the nun—clad woman turn away violently. "I apo
For the next few seconds, not a word was spoken. Theo's fingers were still doing their endless thing. More and more those hot lips began to nestle in the recesses of Rose's neck. Sometimes a small nibble on the earlobe would tempt Rose to let out a stifled moan. Rose had to remind Theo they had just had an emergency situation. His father probably hadn't left the mansion yet. And the man was already back to his perverted thoughts. "Theo, this isn't our room," Rose warned. It was enough to make Theo stop. The moment the ash bead turned towards Dara's large figurine, a mischievous grin simultaneously appeared offering Rose all kinds of alarm. She should have acted quickly before Theo did anything. Unfortunately Rose's movements were sluggish, spilling onto the bed first as Theo brought her to tussle under the thick blankets. One tug of a t-shirt on Rose's body slipped away. The rest of the clothes were just as easily tossed to the floor. Theo seems impatient to undo
"Damn old fart!" Zever's silence was short-lived. The next Theo was back in the picture. The man's anger was unusually explosive. He slashed at anyone nearby once, then lunged at Verasco mercilessly. A lunge that sent Verasco toppling backwards to hang from the second floor railing. "Great lord!" called Lion loudly. Everything had happened. Verasco's position was under great threat while Rose stared at Theo in disbelief. "What are you doing?" She asked incredulously. Thankfully, Verasco was still able to defend himself. However, Theo's cold streak didn't exactly care as he waltzed away towards Dara's room. The last point Rose found her husband disappeared, then turned to where Lion was trying to pull Verasco's arm to crawl up. "Let me help," Rose said shakily, offering to help. She and Lion struggled together. Little by little, they dragged Verasco to get the right accuracy to place his feet between the holes. One or two counts of them strugglin
The first time she opened the door to the main room, Rose's eyes were fixed to the west, noticing Theo and Verasco facing each other along the second floor line. No wonder Verasco's voice was booming as he searched for Lion. The man who was also there, bowed down next to Theo's body and said absolutely nothing. Rose closed the frame quite carefully. Keeping her distance from her husband. She was grateful that Theo was still in control of the body, though not with Verasco who seemed to be growing increasingly displeased. Anger was thick in Verasco's gray bead. The worst part hurt in Rose's mind when the middle-aged man spoke up. Not knowing how Theo heard it, Rose took a step faster. "You ignorant bastard. You should have gotten out of my son's body!" Verasco said angrily again. Theo's defiant stance was relaxed in the face of his father, as if it didn't matter what Verasco said. However, Rose knew very well what Theo was like inside. She quickly grabbed one
