Faint footsteps echoed amidst the silence. Theo entered the bar, leaving the chaos he had created outside. Everyone was in a tizzy, while he focused only on moving forward. It wasn't new that he knew where Rose's dressing room was. A hard-core stalker like him was unquestionable. Even the moment Rose undressed, Theo had witnessed it when he first arrived and found out where he was—before entering the room, waiting like a real client.

His eyes sharpened as he stared at the imperfectly closed door. Theo's pace quickened, eager to give a warning. His lips thinned as he noticed Rose sitting with her head on the dressing table.

Rose wanted to get away, he thought to himself.

"How dare you say such shameful things to your stupid boss." A rough tug on Rose's blonde hair in a clump of hands. The head snapped up and the closed eyes wiped out the pent-up anger in Theo. Anxiety instantly took over. Theo's cold face was replaced by

    Theo's intimidating grin appeared with one leg bent over the edge of the couch. "He's an insane man, who happens to be a same-sex lover." His lips said, mimicking some of Rose's words when she was with Aiden. That woman was going to get a beautiful present like Theo had originally intended, as well as yesterday's delayed punishment. "Don't come any closer!" Rose glared, reading every inch of Theo's change in position. She wasn't going to let him touch her. Especially to the point of begging like a few hours ago. She could hear Theo let out a bad curse. "Stop! I'm not wrong. You're a same-sex lover." Rose uttered a sentence that again widened the grin on Theo's adonis face. "Are you sure I'm still a same-sex lover?" Killing question. The distance was shortened even more by Rose's slow movement as she tried to dodge. "Of course, there's no recovery for a sexual orientation survivor like you," Rose snapped as her back pre

    "What's the hurry, I'm not done yet." Rose stared at the cruel grin warily. Her body was clutched even tighter, closing herself off from the reach of the big hands. "We can do it one more time. I still haven't forgotten how skillfully your tongue wrapped around me." Rose's face flushed red at the humiliating words coming from those hot, parted lips. Her eyes moved wildly looking for a way to break free from the confinement between the two arms that had just tightened around the head of the sofa. "Come on." Rose shook her head decisively. She clearly rejected Theo's straightforward invitation. If it wasn't for being provoked, Rose wouldn't have retaliated like she did before. "I don't take no for an answer, Sugar. Or do you want Travis to be the victim? He's already ruined my fun." Rose's hands silently clenched at Theo's statement. She was not weak! The man couldn't threa

    I didn't know that you were the person I've been looking for. - Roseline Olesya ________________________ "Where are you going, Miss? I've already moved your bag and its contents into the room." Damn! Rose had forgotten her important belongings. She looked sharply at Lion, could he turn around and find her wanting to run away. "Sir is like that. As long as you obey, everything will be safe, Miss." Lion explained, adding a bit of spice to his words. He found Rose arguing quite often. But Theo shouldn't have been provoked into physically hurting Rose. Lion knew his employer was not a man to take a woman lightly. "Come, Miss," he continued. Rose looked away reluctantly. Likewise, she had no choice to refuse. Her feet were forced to follow Lion's lead. Rose's cell phone was important, not only were the numbers of several clients stored there, but it also cont

    "Damn it!" he swore irritably. Theo darted quickly to catch up with Rose. She was too busy holding the phone up high to notice Theo standing in front of her. Their vastly different postures made it easy for Theo to take the flat object out of Rose's hands. He smiled sarcastically - curiosity got the better of him, forcing him to find out what Rose was doing. "Give it back," Rose said quietly. Theo's unexpected move almost made her heart drop. How was it that when she jerked earlier, Rose couldn't balance herself? The problem would only get worse! "Is your cheap cell phone that important?" Silence. No weighty response to the teasing question. Just trying to grab back the item that was forcefully snatched away. Rose stood on tiptoe, one hand outstretched, struggling to lower Theo's towering arm. The activity inside her cell phone must not be kissed by outsiders. Rose couldn't let the man know what she had

    "Looks like you want me to enter you." Rose glared and then moved away. Because of Theo's words, she failed to reach the cell phone back there, even though Rose could have gotten it in an inch. The man was really becoming a big problem. "Crotch aside, I don't think there's anything wrong with your brain." A sardonic snicker accompanied Rose's sentence. What a way to think! Theo liked it. With Rose, that was all he could think about. Every encounter they had had so far had been based on a one-sided physical attraction-Theo absolutely adored Rose's body. "You remind me of something." His grin equaled a 30-degree angle. Theo quietly slipped his hands into his pants pockets. He forgot to check the activity on Rose's cell phone. What was so important that she was so busy. He pulled out the flat object that was the source of the problem. Theo paused, watching something he'd never imagined. He felt like destroy

    The sound of typing on the keyboard breaks the silence. The dim room was taken over by the glow of the monitor screen shining on his face. Theo sat in front of Dara's figurine with his full focus on the attack he was performing on the target computer. His activities were intended to alter the system configuration and damage servers and components. That way the attention of the target, the attacker at the time, would be distracted. Meanwhile, Theo entered the database by systematically retrieving the personal information of the original owner of the computer. Theo was certain that the man who had hurt Rose was not a break-in. A hacker would not neglect to leave the GPS in the car on while committing a crime. It was the same as suicide, which was likely to happen after this. Theo's fingers stopped just as the monitor displayed the perpetrator's profile. Bouldog Aledo's name appeared along with his ID. Theo paid close attention to what

    "You sure you're going to do it yourself, sir?" Lion shuddered as he watched Theo sharpen the Cold Steel Recon 1, one of his most deadly self-defense weapons, a folding knife. "I can accompany you, sir." "No need." A cold aura radiated freely from his master's adonis face. Lion lowered his head, used to rejections like the one he had just received. "Is there any special report from the Amerald regarding the headquarters and subsidiary companies?" "Nothing, sir. Maybe in the next three days Amerald will send the report." Theo stopped sharpening. The knife that had increased in sharpness was folded and put into his pants pocket. His movements continued to the firearms, picking up a few and tucking them under his clothes. Theo was ready to take action, from the latest tracking, Bouldog's location was at a club night located towards the southwest. "Keep reminding Amerald, don't accept any cooperation without my permission." Lion stared at his face for a moment. Theo tem

    "Say it quickly!" "I-I-" Charlotte stumbled at the sharp touch, whose coldness was debilitating. The man's casanova appearance masked the reality of how dangerous a bait Charlotte had underestimated. She did want Theo's hot body. But the pay wasn't worth the threat, Charlotte didn't expect Theo to backfire on her. "Don't be too hard on women. I know because of Magdalena... you generalize them all." The pressure of the knife in Theo's hand relaxed slightly when Sean's voice caught his attention. What kind of coincidence would Sean explain? The man's sudden arrival could not be said to be the same if not the plan of a passion. "Let Charlotte go, T. I told her to bait you, to prove whether or not you could be interested." Sean looked at the back that was still behind him. Until then, the charade would be Sean's life journey over anything directly related t

    Rose didn't expect Theo to take her to the island of Ortogia, the historical center of the Sicilian city of Sirakusa, to enjoy the beauty of the Mediterranean sea. The scents by the sea were soothingly beautiful. Rose had not forgotten that Theo had not once let go of her body on the man's broad shoulders after walking along the old buildings on the islands of Ortogia. "Whose house is this?" asked Rose looking at a sturdy building that looked like it was meant for two people to live in. "Our house." There wasn't much Rose could say, except to bury her face deep in the hollow of Theo's neck. The masculine scent was still very much present, even after they had spent the whole day entertaining the guests, as if the perfume was very much at home on Theo's clay skin. "Want to go straight to bed or shower first, Sugar?" In front of a door Theo stopped and let Rose get on the floor. Between hesitation and the need for something fresh she finally looked up at Theo.

    "Ready?" Rose nodded as Theo spoke over the top of her head. She was indeed standing with her back to Theo, holding the handle of a long cookie-cutter knife, while Theo's large fingers grasped each of her knuckles warmly. The multi-tiered cake, or not much different from a fragile tower, was being split open. The blade slowly descended downward to symbolize sharpness. Rose smiled almost melting into laughter when Theo whispered something funny to her, funny but Rose wouldn't tell anyone. Let her keep it to herself and make it an important fun moment. After the first slice of cake Rose and Theo should have been feeding each other. Instead Theo scooped out the cream and immediately applied it to Rose's lower lip. Rose's face was a mess, but that was exactly what Theo wanted. He took Rose's lips like he was taking a delicious cake. The sweetness of the sugar and butter mixture seemed to make Theo insatiable. He licks Rose so intimately—there's no end to it—that Rose

    "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." "
