"Where are you taking my suitcase and Theo's suitcase, Lion?"
Three days since the hot mess in the kitchen, Rose thought things were still going well. Her closeness with Theo had changed considerably. Two individuals who were united in a bond, like they had just dived between their differences. She didn't fully know Theo, that was true. But for this sudden departure—if Rose's interpretation wasn't wrong. Theo should have informed her and asked her to prepare. However, the man hadn't been seen since Rose had woken up. "Lion," Rose called out in half pursuit. Lion seemed to be pressed for time, so he didn't hear or even see her. "I'm talking to you." Rose's pat on Lion's shoulder line made the man flinch. "Oh, Miss, sorry." Rose nodded in understanding, returning her attention to the suitcases in Lion's hands. "Where are you taking it?" she asked curiously. "To the cabin, miss. We're going back to Italy." "This suRose rubbed the back of her neck lightly. Waiting for the right time to speak up. "Theo are you there?" she asked faintly as she heard a sound that soon disappeared. Theo's robot date was in the same place, so the man's whereabouts should be too... "Theo." Rose's unanimous decision just touched cold handle and froze. At the same time the door was pulled from the inside. Theo appeared with an unreadable expression. What little Rose found was a reddish mark to several cuts around the skin of the neck. Rose swallowed harshly again. What had happened, how it had happened was still a burning question. "What are you doing inside?" Rose shifted slightly to see what the space enclosed by Theo's body looked like. It was dark. Only a few mirror images refracted out. "I've been looking for you." "Did you miss me?" That question .... Rose had expected Theo to utter cruel words, or perhaps be rude.
The scene before Rose added more and more unexpected parts that she had to underline as important. The residents of the mansion, some of them in charge of the core, and the ones Rose was most familiar with were gathered in one room full of howls. Among them, Esmeralda on the sofa with her own special appearance always snatched the lyrics of the song Lion was singing. Several knick-knacks were attached to the husky's body, a conical hat with stripes and a mix of bright colors was attached to the head that looked up high whenever her howl would dominate the situation. Everything that appeared before Rose was, yes, quite pleasant. But what never ceased to attract her attention was only one .... Theo who chose to sit on the single sofa. The man's gaze looked amused almost squinting as well as a smile that faintly appeared and disappeared. Theo's one free hand rested on one leg. The forefinger separated from the thumb attached under the jaw smothered his own lips. Theo never looke
"You have no control over other people's lives. And that distaste you glorify, has nothing to do with me. You know we hardly ever get along, so please don't make a big deal out of a small matter. I went with Lion, not another man. You're also an adult, so you should be able to tell the difference, Theo.""If you're going to make me the target of your tantrums. I'd better go back to my room." Rose ended her string of sentences with a deep breath. Arguing over something that wouldn't do their relationship any good was pointless. She needed to isolate herself, wait for Theo's annoyance and weirdness to subside. "I'm not done yet." Rose's wrist was caught. Theo held her back. A piercing stare seemed to strip Rose naked and comb through her decision to leave. "What else is unfinished?" Such was Rose's statement, at her side Theo also loomed—ready to intimidate on other matters regarding their relationship. "Sorry, sir. The
Rose stammered. Once she looked down ... things were no longer the same. The sound of Verasco's heavy fists and cries soared into the background. Theo jerked his father's face hard. "What has this old fart done to you?" He spoke with restrained anger. "Answer me, Rose!" And snapped with his neck muscles flexing everywhere. Once Rose's arm was gripped, there was no longer any silence that Rose could maintain. She tried to pull herself free from the wrath that had completely overtaken Theo to the point that not a shred of patience was lost. "You're hurting me, Theo." Rose complained. The poor decision regenerated the pain even more. "Answer me. What has this old fart done?" Theo's question never changed. The sharp ashen gaze contained a wrenching blade. "Nothing. Your father just slapped me." Theo almost complained. Rose's arms were pulled and shaken together. "I'm not stupid, Rose. Tell me or this will end very
"Theo!" The vague movements of the middle-aged man were almost non-existent. Just to highlight what Verasco looked like, Rose was incapable. She acted quickly, grabbed Theo's body and placed her face on her husband's massive back. "Stop it. Please stop." Rose whispered. Theo's breathing rumbled violently, the big shoulders moved. The sound of a pounding heartbeat reached Rose's ears. Theo's anger could turn many things upside down. Rose was grateful that her actions had gradually stopped Theo from the most fatal madness. She would not let Theo go, before distance separated her husband and the nearly unconscious Verasco. "Anthony will take care of your father. Now we go back inside, okay?" It wasn't as easy as Rose said. As long as he wasn't satisfied... Theo would never stop. His fingers reached for the cold object hiding under the black T-shirt he wore. The sound of the cock was ready to explode the face full of thick red liquid.
It was a chaotic mess that had been set in stone. Rose had to leave Verasco and leave the middle-aged man's pain to Anthony, in order to catch up with her husband's distant steps. Theo's massive body entered the main gate of the mansion, not once looking back. At least reconfirming the debris of destruction that was scattered there. Rose quickened her pace, counting every one of Theo's departures that could cause a high wall to rise between them. Where Theo was headed, Rose knew he had no intention of retreating to the master suite. Undeterred by that fact, Rose's common sense began to take a backseat. She didn't want to be left behind and end up with a wasted effort. What else would Theo do but shut himself away when the only place he could go was his own personal space. "Wait, Theo," Rose interrupted. Theo had already reached the doorknob and pushed the frame with the deep carved lines, while she was still far enough away to force her way
"Sorry, I don't mean to be presumptuous, but I can't debate this with you, Miss. You'd better go back to your room or else Mr. T's anger will never cease, for all I know here he is also blaming you." That's right. Rose knew full well Theo was clearly blaming her...as he had emphasized from the start—anyone, including Rose would accept the risk rather than the bruises she was trying to hide. "If I leave, what about Theo?" "Take it easy, Miss. It's not the first time he has done that." Rose looked away for a moment. Staring at how far she could reach Theo and the whole space that even the dividers were already in sight. "I'm afraid Theo will do something bad." No matter how hard Rose tried to ignore the conflict. Still the sound of wrath from inside cut her a little. When will Theo stop the chaos, Rose wondered anxiously. She smiled bitterly. Finally relenting, she chose not to look back at the splatter. "When Theo cal
Rose was not wrong to call Theo a big baby. Some days his attitude was uncontrollable. Other times everything in the man became something Rose couldn't have predicted correctly. One night the last time Theo spoke, the next Rose had to call for help from the people of the mansion to carry her big baby to their room. And right now, the anger was at an all-time high. Coincidentally, Rose, who was awake first, had to witness how Theo's breath roared harshly. There were some parts implied that the exhale was choked. Not knowing why Theo was in such distress, Rose felt the tightness. She shook her head faintly... half getting up to gently touch the surface of the face that seemed to look innocent when Theo's gray eyes were closed. Not wanting it to last too long, Rose moved quickly to grab her pillow. Quite carefully lifting the back of Theo's head, deliberately setting the soft object a level higher to stimulate the smooth supply of air in and out through
"Oh!" Theo's sizzling voice was followed by a warm spray deposited on Rose's body. She herself was barely able to keep up with Theo's overwhelming desire. Light kisses touched the hollow of her neck. Rose looked up .... Then when Theo gave a little distance. Their eyes met again. Rose's fingers moved lightly over Theo's rough jaw, occasionally rubbing it. There was one thing Rose wanted to say at this time of day. Both the former hot romance and Theo's still just as hot... Rose swallowed hard Hesitating and having to face two realities that she couldn't push away. "You—" Rose lowered her gaze while playing with the hairs on her husband's chest. "If I get pregnant, can you quit your job?" She had the audacity to speak. She only had to wait for an answer from a thinking man like Theo. "Theo...," Rose called out wanting to break her husband's silence. "I'm talking to you—" "Which job do you want me to quit? I'll be p
"Come out, Sugar. Beatrace is gone." Stifled and cornered through no fault of her own. Rose's breath caught, then crawled slowly over to Theo who was hunched over with one hand perched on the edge of the table, the other holding a bowl full of strawberry halves and a fork tucked inside. "You're too much of a pervert!" grumbled Rose, tidying up the rest of her disheveled appearance. This was in stark contrast to her husband who also stood up straight, putting on an innocent face as he munched voraciously on a piece of fruit. "I'm not done yet. Why are you already dressed?" Dressed almost shirtless. Is that what Theo meant? Rose's mind was fully probing. Rose turned away sarcastically remembering the dark blue suit he had put down earlier. Wanting to reach for the dark colored fabric, which Rose could at least temporarily wear to cover her exposed body. Instead the thought of ease led her to the other side. Rose's arms were grabbed by
Rose's breath roared as she waited for the situation to allow them to scramble to the surface. "I'm not asking you to touch my stuff." Theo's growl jerked Rose to lift her face slightly. Rose got a free space once Theo broke away. The two sat facing each other under the long table. "Shall I smoke you, Sugar?" Sugar .... The call was in stark contrast to Theo's hissing sarcastic tone. Rose placed the gun in a tight grip right in front of her husband. Avoiding the possibility that Theo might do something bad. "I didn't know the bullets were real," Rose whispered, not trying to defend herself. Like the dozens of bullets Theo had spewed from the firearm the man had used. Rose thought the gun lying on the utensil had similar ammunition. She chose to take the shot herself and ended up with a glare that still held her close. "One more time you touch my gun without permission, I'll cut your fingers off."
Bang! The sound of a gunshot rang out after Rose caught up with Theo in the training room. The first time she set foot she found a navy blue coat lying on its side, almost slumped over the foot of the sofa. Rose clucked as she tidied it up and positioned it in a better spot. Theo's broad shoulders never escaped her gaze. The remaining white shirt wrapped around his sexy body. Rose leaned back with her arms folded across her chest. Bang! Another shot hit its mark. Theo was too skilled for anything related to the current activity. Shooting was the most common habit, or actually Theo's life would never be free from such things. Like some of the events that had ended. Rose recalled Theo's statement to the line a while ago, 'killing for pay.' She both needed Theo and worried. Theo is important to help her get revenge. However, Rose was well aware that being a contract killer was not easy. At any time Theo could be harmed, including enemies—enemies who would n
"Oracle. He was afraid, didn't even want to see me." Silence to understand. Rose tried to piece together the tangled threads, which were tangled without end. The main objects started from the octopus doll to other toys, which Rose slowly understood. "You went to see Oracle, is that it?" asked Rose carefully keeping her tone. Theo's faint nod provoked the next sentence to hang on the edge of her throat. "So you bought all these toys for Oracle?" Rose confirmed once more. "Yes. And this is for the little cuties. But they all refused. Wouldn't accept my gifts." Octopus doll for Acampeliaz .... No wonder it's so special, Rose wondered. "Leave it to me. I will give these toys and dolls to Oracle and Campel." Rose had her hands up, perhaps Theo would immediately hand over all the small objects. However, what happened instead was that Theo arranged a set of robots from the 'marvel' series, including a s
"Let go, Dad, I'm going home." "The people here are sickening! I don't like it." The attachment continued for Mr. Alejandro. He had to accept the fate of the mess he himself had created. It's all affecting his daughter. The poor woman who must endure the pain of revenge and mutual destruction. Mr. Alejandro was looking for the wrong opponent, not understanding the things he was ignoring. He should have started the war when Bouldog died. But the desire to possess Theo overcame everything. He never thought that Theo would be the most difficult to conquer. One time he acted, multiple times he was attacked in silence. That ingenuity was what he had dreamed of. Unluckily, Mr. Alejandro was unlikely to be ambitious again. While his daughter had been destroyed. Mr. Alejandro waited for the right time, at least until Elsesa—Elsa could compensate for the woman's mental and physical state after being hit simultaneously. "Calm your
Rose had to admit that Theo was quite different by remaining silent when their position was intact. The last sentence from her was ignored, the man was busy sniffing Rose's body scent. Deeply nuzzling the surface of her flat stomach. "Take a shower." Rose played with the black hair warmly. She smiled as Theo looked up at her. "Take a bath with me?" The ash bead drowned Rose deep in the warm ocean. She pursed her lips as she pulled Theo's facial skin wide to the side. "I'm old enough to bathe by myself. Hurry up...." A faint shake of Rose's head brought her to fall on her back on the bed. Theo's thirsty face and the man's large fingers began to dig into a t-shirt depicting a black bear, just like Theo who was currently resting on top of her. "I told you to take a shower, Theo. Not—" Rose was silenced by the tongue thrusting into her mouth. The sound of a wet sniffle trails off—a greeting of desire igni
Slowly Rose's eyelids slipped from their valves. The same Theo stared, silhouetted against each other in the mirror—Rose was lost in the seduction of the locking gray bead. "I was thinking of Oracle. He knows I don't like wearing earrings. Deliberately gifted me earrings so I'd wear them," Rose replied, successfully drawing one of Theo's eyebrows up high. "He's here, isn't he? Why don't you go straight to him." Theo's baritone voice whispered softly. Comparable to the smile on Rose's lips that curved again-this time briefly and too faintly. "He's back home ...." "Home?" Rose's body was slightly freed as Theo moved his face away from the crook of her neck. "Yes. Axe came to pick him up earlier." One step away she found Theo moving backwards. "Strange. Oracle came home because he was afraid of me, right? Did I hurt him too much?"Theo's quiet tone disturbed Rose's mind. She scrutinized the few times Theo's expre
Rose didn't care how the swaying bed jerked like a violent swinging shock. She maximized each powerful gallop like a giant crashing into the earth. Theo's body was a soft target for her feet. The man moaned in a submerged voice. Yet, also with pleasure... sometimes asking Rose to move from one spot to another. "Up again, Sugar. Up to the shoulders." Rose chuckled, still doing everything Theo wanted. One foot stomped even harder on her husband's hot, sexy shoulders. "That's it," Rose said. One leap ended the earthquake on the surface of Theo's body. She flung herself down beside the sleeping man. "You said you will give me back my gift box!" "I need to know. Who gave you the gift?" "Oracle. Here, give it back quickly." Rose's arms extended to pull the red velvet box in Theo's grasp. Their positions were in sync, both using their arms as a fulcrum to lift their chests. "Let me open it." Theo's large fingers separa
