Opportunities never come as second chances. Failure that is forced to continue, will only leave a feeling of defeat. Attempts to concoct an antidote with multiple trials continued to show negative results. Travis did not understand what kind of mistake he had made when mixing the additives and plant extracts.

The tiny particles that precipitated from the ingredients did not secrete enough enzymes to neutralize the neuronal activity in the bacterial content. Only zero point one percent. Travis needed more compounds, ones that could counter the progression of toxins in Theo's body.

Mr. O'Connor's arrival could not be expected. The middle-aged man would consolidate with his business partners in the land of windmills. The only way Travis could utilize it was to create his own antidote before 24 hours passed. Which, unfortunately, has not yet found a bright spot.

Nearly six hours in the private lab with Xelle, made Travis fe

    Dodging as far away as possible from the roaring bear, shaking the whole building with the clomping of its feet as it continued to move forward. Rose closed and locked the door to the room designated as the infirmary. Her breathing quickened, neutralizing the pounding of her heart. Rose's attention was momentarily distracted, staring at the man sleeping on the bed-recovering from a weakened condition, completely in need of peace. "Rose! Open the door." The voice coming from outside made Rose jump. Xelle chased her into the all-white room. What would that man do after Rose had lunged at his prized asset? "Open up, Rose!" "No way!" Silence. Rose turned around, glaring at the half-wary dividing door. Perhaps Xelle was preparing to simply break the barrier between them. Based on her actions, Rose was sure that Xelle would not hesitate to drag her out, as the man usually did. She had to find a hiding place before she was trapped by the persuasive words Xelle would say. Rose

    "I think your brains are interconnected. They're both out of order, they're filthy. It needs to be washed with bathroom cleaner," Rose grumbled, slowly separating herself from the close proximity. Not wanting to risk Theo's condition which was no better than a few moments ago. The man only closed his eyes after the departure of the two people between them. Completely different, not his usual demeanor. "Theo?" called Rose reassuringly. His silence made Rose wary. She didn't know what was worse seeing the slow movement of the chest. "Can Travis put the oxygen mask back on for you?" "I'm more comfortable like this, Sugar." "Are you sure? I see you're getting weaker." A faint nod. Theo smiled faintly, barely noticing how the corners of his lips curved slightly. He was fine. Just feeling the slight oddity of a body that had simply shifted position. "I'm good. Just a little bit

    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.

    "It's enough. I'm full." Again Rose had to restrain herself as Theo's big fingers tried to push away the bowl of white porridge in her hand. "Just a little more, Theo. You have to finish your porridge." "Come on." Rose brought another spoonful of porridge closer, but that face refused. "Don't make me eat bad porridge, Sugar. It's tasteless." "That's why if you eat while looking at me, you'll get some flavor." "One more bite. I promise after this is over." "I don't believe it. You said that earlier, don't you remember?" Rose's wide grin completely fooled Theo. The man was exactly a child who had lost his appetite. It was very difficult to persuade him to open his mouth. "This time I'm serious about the last one. Ahk... open wide." Rose thought Theo would immediately accept her bribe. Instead, the man moved the elbow of Rose's hand, moving the bow of the spoon to Rose's own lips. "You should eat too." "I ate earlier," Ro

    One day after Theo regained consciousness, Rose finally decided to return to her home, the place where she once lived alone next to her small restaurant. At the moment there wasn't much for Rose to do other than prepare to meet Theo at the hospital. Rose immediately drove her father's borrowed car. On the back passenger seat she placed a medium-sized box with several holes in it that was wrapped very beautifully. While beside her sat a cute little dog with curly hair and white color like cotton. Yesterday Rose had just bought the poodle breed at the pet shop. Intrigued. That was all that drew Rose's desire to bring home the poodle named Cocomelo. "We've arrived." Rose prepared a special backpack to carry Cocomelo on her shoulders, so that when she first entered the infirmary Theo would not immediately meet her Cocomelo but Rose would show him. And in her hand, she carried the medium-sized box and walked into the hospital. Not just daring, but Rose had already ob

    Coming back from the bathroom, Rose thought she would be faced with the same situation. She had warned against it by waiting longer in the humid room until some of the noises from outside faded away. But everything Rose had expected was not true. The blood seepage on the floor when she opened the door was gone. Verasco's subordinates... even Verasco himself was nowhere to be seen, in his husband's infirmary. All that was left was Lion waiting very quietly, arms folded across his chest as he watched Theo silently. "Are you still here, Lion? Where are the others?" asked Rose as her steps brushed the side of the blanket. "Mr. Verasco asked me to wait here, Miss." Lion's attention was finally diverted. Rose suspected that he had just returned from the police station and helped Verasco and Elijah to execute George. As for George's betrayal, perhaps it was a wake-up call for Verasco to be more intolerant of hidden intentions and whatever else might happen. "Where is my

    "On the way home. Their story has a happy ending. Finished." Rose closed the 400 pages book and placed it on the nightstand. Reading sweet stories had become her routine in the past few days. Rose smiled slightly at her husband's face who was lying so quietly. This morning the breathing apparatus had just been removed indicating Theo's condition was getting better after the bloody spear incident. Luckily, they immediately brought Theo to get the right treatment. Theo had to undergo surgery three times. He had lost a lot of blood and needed transfusions as soon as possible. Rose remembered that some arguments happened between them regarding Theo who had very step blood, even Verasco was helpless about it. Just a Wench .... That's what Verasco said at that time with a trembling tone of voice. Like he was so regretful. Really regretful, until finally Travis suggested the few people who were still left in Italy to bring some bags of Theo's blood that were taken two

    "She's very good at acting." Rose whispered softly in Bridgette's face who had only come into view after the play had started. There was no need for Rose to ask where the woman had been, she could guess what the couple sitting next to her had been up to from the slightly disheveled appearance a few moments ago. "Yes. No wonder she's the lead. She's very pretty tho." Rose nodded in agreement as Bridgette whispered along. The students who were drafted to act out the drama on the wedding stage were really good. Their pronunciation and intonation were perfect, especially when they were blocking. Rose remembered things like that that her father often commented on when watching street theater. Until this moment Rose had not found her father's whereabouts. Rose looked at Theo for a moment. Her husband was too focused on watching the theater play. The sharp gaze and tightly clenched lips were very hot. Rose wanted to touch Theo but was prevented by the arrival of the w

    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

    "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
