"Castrate him now."

Theo's absolute command drew the attention of those under one leadership. Some stared in disbelief, others looked down in resignation. Theo didn't care what they thought. Focused on reducing the anger and sharpening the helpless man on the bed.

After dealing with Rose's rage in the basement, Theo proceeded with the rest of the decision by hiding George Keneddy in an unnoticed warehouse, in the dirtiest of positions. He was still sane enough to take the life of Verassco's trusted man, knowing exactly where to weaken the enemy's consciousness the most. Theo was deliberate, thus Rose believed in the hope of the forcefully murdered. Meanwhile, he did everything in her own slick, untouchable way.

The common thread had unraveled. Discovering the fact that George Keneddy was his wife's former client was worse than Rose's fiery rant. Theo thought the punishment he had mentioned would be an appropriate deterrent to Verasco's right-hand man

    The piercing gaze that proved Rose's disappointment was still lingering. She brushed away Theo's fingers that touched the big jailen's fur, saying nothing more than asking Theo to step aside. Rose stepped aside to find her own way out. Out of Theo's reach while hugging her big bear tightly. "I'm talking to you, Sugar."Not once did Rose care. Nor did she care how Theo stayed where the man loomed. A step or two and Rose was already widening the distance away from her husband. Going straight, then veering off to the left. Beatrace's bedroom was Rose's main destination. Tonight, or perhaps until later, she didn't want to be in bed with Theo. As the door swung open the middle-aged woman was startled by the presence of Rose with a damp, droopy face. "What are you doing here, miss?" Beatrace's tone was entirely concerned. Rose shook her head vaguely to calm her down. "You don't mind me sleeping with you, in your room, Beatrace?" she hesitated. Rose thought a

    "We're not going inside, sir?" During the car stop in front of the old connotation building, it was rather worn and dark looking. There was nothing Theo was doing, except watching intently at the one open door where some people were going back and forth, not greeting each other. The rest were probably talking for some mere interest. Theo's sharp gray eyes took into account all that was thought. The ripples on his face were both unreadable and calm as coral. Theo would not rashly do something openly. For him, a form of secrecy must be resolved in the same way. In terms of possible outcomes, perhaps not rushing is the right choice. Theo's breath came out roughly as he turned to meet Lion's eyes in the windshield. "Go to the other store." Which in a sense... Theo's goal was simply to see if the building that had been erected decades ago was finished. He was tempted to add another tattoo to his body. In a more private place. *** "Slow down, Miss. You'll ch

    Rose's breath hitched, then she inched back toward the headboard. "I'm going to bed. If he asks again, tell him I don't want to be disturbed by anyone." Rose pulled the thick blanket over her body. As hard as it was Rose forced herself to close her eyes. It wasn't long before the touch of Beatrice's fingers on her arm woke her tightly closed lids. "Are you asleep, Miss?" Rose shook her head almost imperceptibly. Turning half of her body simply looked at the shady face of the woman who had positioned herself better. "There's something I'd like to ask you. Do you mind?" Rose's eyebrows raised high. Curious and clueless at the attitude Beatrace was displaying. "If I may know when was the last time you had your period, Miss?" When .... Rose couldn't quite remember. But if she had to confirm further, perhaps the eight days of Theo's departure while they were on the private island was the exact answer Rose could give to Beatrace. "Why

    Rose's mesmerizing face never escaped the deep gray gaze. Theo's silence was only followed by the movement of fingers rubbing the top of the woman's head which offered a puzzle for Theo to solve on his own. He thought of many things .... About the crossed skull tattoos and various other secrets. An opportunity where Theo could find out through the cyber world, which was the only way by hacking into the security system that Theo had perfected a few years ago at the request of Verasco who paid him handsomely. Foolishly, at a young age Theo had vowed to his mother, Eleanor, to never be interested in the ins and outs of Verasco's organization. Plus Theo never cared what Verasco did outside of his involvement or when he had to be involved as the heir to the organization before Sean's appearance. It's possible that Verasco's decision will shift, if and when Sean is willing to replace the middle-aged man. Or not necessarily, given that Verasco has a great deal to consider betw

    "Elsesa, are you done? Why haven't you come out yet?" Mr. Alejandro pushed aside the body of the woman in front of the tightly closed frame, a woman about the age of his daughter, Alexa, whom Mr. Alejandro had hired to accompany Elsa on a daily basis. It's true that lately, the culprit of Elsa's chaotic behavior has been Mr. Alejandro's monthly. Now it was evident that Alexa was calling her name loudly and fearfully, occasionally knocking on Elsa's bathroom door before Mr. Alejandro's arrival. The two were still waiting to see when Elsa would appear after saying nothing to Alexa. What she was doing in there was the big question. Mr. Alejandro gave Alexa a sharp look. "How long has Elsesa been locked up and why isn't she answering me?" The coldness of Mr. Alejandro's question pierced Alexa's mind. The woman looked down even more frightened."I don't know why Miss Elsesa is reluctant to answer, sir. But Miss Elsesa has been there for half an hour." Alexa spoke numbly. F

    Double line. The flat object in Rose's hand was an unbelievable display. She touched her own chest, trying to suppress the burst of warm feelings that kept breaking the violent pounding in the heart. Another double line. Rose held her breath almost speechless. Her brown eyes never stopped looking at the test pack, until she pulled the bathroom door open to face the middle-aged woman waiting in front. "I'm... pregnant, Beatrace!" Rose spoke once. She jumped for joy hugging Beatrace's body quite tightly. Rose's happiness was quickly contagious. Her smile managed to curl both corners of the woman's lips, who couldn't even say anything yet, except for the obvious emotion on her face. Just like a mother yearning for a grandchild-Beatrace showed it all... no less tightly embracing Rose's body. "Congratulations on the pregnancy, Miss." "Mr. T should know soon. He'll be very happy." Rose confirmed Beatrace's words. Returning her att

    A heartbeat that should have been filled with happy news. Rose couldn't help but wonder if she was about to receive bad news. Trembling, Rose's forefinger pressed the 'enter' button to directly prove whether or not her suspicions had grown into a big pile of fear. Thankfully, the document's series of sentences were written in English, so Rose could understand what explained every detail of her parents' deaths. 'All the facts' starting from the date the deal was made, how long it would take just to complete the task, and the manner of execution until the plan absolutely took two precious lives of Rose's parents. Rose clamped her lips together. Her face was flushed red with all kinds of emotions raging in her head. She was looking for Theo to avenge her, only to find Theo as the killer of her parents. How could this be possible? Rose shook her head violently to deny the reality that tore at her heart. Rose's guerrilla of common sense splashed violently. She turned a

    Theo touched the bleeding wound on hid stomach. That was the only thing Rose saw, while the firing point Rose had given him should not have been there. She missed. However, she kept the muzzle of the gun pointed higher when not once did Theo stop the pace. "I told you not to come any closer, Theo!" "You're a murderer!" "Murderer!" Rose repeatedly cried out in anger. She was capable of recklessness, especially over the doubts that had been wrapped like a heart in her mind. There was no love for Rose's feelings of being forcefully killed. She had been through a lot, and so had the choices that were lined up in front of Rose right now. Two of them... completing the mission or letting it become something forgotten. "I told you not to come any closer, if you don't want me to shoot you again!" Rose's threat was indeed as bad as the way she held the gun. How Rose didn't care who was standing in front of her and what status she was tied to. The more The

    There was no response whatsoever, other than that handsome face sinking further into the folds of the arms. Rose didn't want to think her husband was exactly like a little boy hiding something from her. Theo was avoiding being stared at, that much was obvious and Rose's suspicion grew more and more certain as she herself struggled to pull Theo up simply to reposition him to face forward. Rose's long breath rushed into the air. For a moment she thought of looking down to whisper something. However, the words she had composed in her mind vanished as soon as she found a box nestled deep under the bed. It was completely familiar to Rose. She reached out to touch the object. It should have been a matter of pulling out when Rose's fingertips reached one of the corners of the square box, but instead Rose's action was restrained by Theo who brushed her off and as if on purpose, one of Theo's pushes made the box jut away from their position. Rose growled in anger—suppressed b

    'Miss, Travis says Mr. T has calmed down.' Rose recalled one of Lion's statements that ended up getting her back into the car. They traveled towards Theo's mansion, and along the stretch of rocks they passed Rose's gaze was only drawn to the movement of the trees that seemed to be following her. And just like that, Rose felt that the last conversation with Verasco was still looming in her mind. They were not finished yet, but Rose believed she had given Verasco a small leverage. A stare. The meaning of the tightened jaw. It was all Rose's belief that Verasco would not have given her an option if it was true that the man did not believe. Or actually because such things were still related to her father. For some reason Rose felt foolish in making a choice. It was a moment—a tense moment—she had to give up one, while her heart begged to have both. "You're right. I know Theo too. My husband has his reasons for not coming to you." Rose replied as Verasco's hose shooed

    "Mr. Verasco also just arrived." Rose confirmed Lion's mutterings from the side. She stopped the car—turning for a moment to the man who had just stuffed his cell phone into his pants pocket. Rose guessed that Lion was sending a message to his man according to what Rose had said. She quickly got out after Verasco like a king who was greeted with respect. "Wait," Rose hesitated—not knowing what to call it. Rose swallowed harshly as Verasco waited at the end of the steps. Those eyes were sharp as if they wanted to skin her mercilessly. "I don't think I've invited a prostitute into the grounds of my mansion." Such a cynical greeting didn't hurt Rose any more than having to imagine Theo's anger which was probably still very much on fire. "What are you doing here? Changed your mind and want to sell your body?" "I'm no longer interested." The image of Rose's face kept reminding Verasco that the blood running through that body was O'Douglas' bloodlin

    It was too painful when the man had left her existence. Going far away. Untouchable. And Rose was sure that the more the sturdy shoulders were built up, the more the recently demolished skeleton would be forced to collapse. Exactly Verasco's statement. Callous phrases spoken in such a cruel way that they had a profound effect on Theo and took away whatever form they took, which was even the same thing—Rose had to watch her husband build a high wall. She hasn't tried to reach it yet, but knows it won't be easy. Rose couldn't drag Theo by the arm like she had in the past and whisper soft words. Inviting her husband into the room, then Theo would say yes. None of that was easy. Not when Rose's decision was too late to make. Theo was already making his way down to the top floor in the left wing. What could Rose do as the door thudded loudly, bouncing off the mansion's skylights. Rose had never even so much as focused her mind on the highest point of the building's structure, which

  • (Not) His Sugar Baby   Trouble Maker—He's Coming

    Underneath the hiding place Rose's heart pounded violently. She couldn't understand how Theo could be so calm, while the man's heartbeat was Rose listening. She was a little jealous of Theo's skill in dealing with a tense situation. Verasco's presence was nerve—wracking when Rose thought she and Theo should be sharing their closeness in the presence of the man who had strictly forbidden their relationship. "What is this asshole doing?" "He's hacking into something?" There was a pause after Verasco's question aired freely. Rose hoped that Lion—who was probably still accompanying the middle-aged man—could give a plausible reason without being dishonest. It was dangerous if Verasco knew the truth about what Theo was doing secretly. "Yes, sir. Mr. T is indeed having a drop." Woe be to Lion. Rose could barely keep herself from swearing harshly. Lion was too... honest. "Hacking what?" "That I don't know, sir. You can probably ask Mr. T directly la

    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

  • (Not) His Sugar Baby   Camping

    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
