One final blow landed as feet clattered into the same room. The sound of falling objects and shattering glass spread out to several points, pausing the emergency that had taken place moments ago.

Both Travis and Xelle froze at Rose's presence, who glared at them with a stifled reaction. Her unfocused gaze, accompanied by a flushed face, slowly approached-from slow steps to quick movements.

Rose's breath came in harsh gasps. "He's unconscious, and you hit him!" Rose's accusations were relentless. Pushing Xelle as far away as possible-separating the man from anyone's reach.

"Unconscious what? He's not there anymore! I'll beat him until he comes back!"

"Stop!" said Rose, holding back the body that was about to move. "He's not there? You mean ...." Her sentence hung in the air. Rose's eardrums seemed to be filled with ringing sounds after interpreting Xelle's statement which was full of disappointment.

    "Dara ...." A faint voice from inside the room sounded uneasy. Rose stood at the door. She had just returned from cleaning up the mess of broken glass and wasted pancakes. She had only left Theo for a moment. However, when she entered the room. The slight movement of the body stretched out on the bed, caused a turmoil of feelings that Rose couldn't understand. Theo couldn't stop muttering the other woman's name. Beads of cold sweat broke the surface. Seemingly unsettled, lost in the most painful nightmare. "Dara...," Theo's whispering became clearer when Rose's position was no longer distant. Kneeling with various curiosities. How many women had been in Theo's life, apart from one of them being his ex-wife. Could it be Dara...? "Theo." Not daring to fully pat the bruised face. Could only call out, hopin

    Nobody .... With such a weakened condition, it was inevitable that Theo's lie was implied so clearly. Rose sighed, not wanting to discuss issues that would worsen the condition of the man before her. She smiled briefly, as if to emphasize-enough talk until the thick blanket was pulled up, covering half of the large body that drooped on the back of the bed. Whatever Theo's past was, Rose didn't want to get involved, let alone care. "You should rest. Travis will probably be here soon to check on you," Rose said, acting calm. "What's wrong with me?" "What's wrong with you? You've been unconscious since last night. Made everyone here worried, including your silly friend who almost smashed your face in. But I guess it's already ruined." Rose grimaced, noticing the bruises in several places and the tear at the corner of Theo's lip. Wasn't the man in pain after what he had received? He seemed

    Wide strides went straight ahead leaving behind a few points of anxiety. The remaining energy was forced into a frenzy, intercepting the trail that had almost reached the exit. Theo swung an arm forward, curling Xelle around him without hurting his opponent-he needed a brace to support his weight. "Stop, damn it. Rose could cut me alive until she finds out what's really going on," Theo said, slowly inhaling, neutralizing the constricted space. "Does my face look concerned? Fuck yourself. I won't stop, if it involves Rose's safety. I hope you haven't forgotten something that happened in your past." "It's absolutelly not your fucking business. You don't need to remind me about it. One thing you should know, Rose's scatterbrained woman isn't as easily touched as Dara. If you're still determined to tell Rose what happened. I'm going to divulge a fact to Bridgette that she doesn't know." "What fact?" Xelle's deep, hoarse vo

    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.

    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

  • (Not) His Sugar Baby   Wedding

    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

    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
