Being a lover who hardly ever enjoyed Sean's company, made Rose enthusiastic to the point that some of the guests around her looked at the woman strangely. Rose could only grin in front of Sean holding back the embarrassment that was currently reaching the top of her head.
"Sorry," Rose said a little misbehaved being noticed like that by people.Then she and Sean refocused themselves on the banquet ahead. After finishing, they immediately left the restaurant by continuing the journey to the place that Sean asked Rose.And Rose chose CN Tower as their destination. It seemed like it would be great to see the beautiful view of the city of Toronto, Canada, at night with the lights shining from a height of 436 m or about 1,430 feet. It's not often that Rose gets an opportunity like this. She wasn't going to waste it. Sean was a busy man, hard to meet."Come on, we have to get on the elevator quickly, there will be a line."So excited Rose pulled Sean's hand into a square box that could only accommodate a few people. They didn't know someone who was in the same place, was wielding a sharp gaze, angry and disappointed.That person's hands were clenched tightly. He hated betrayal, what did he lack to be betrayed twice like this? His relationship with Sean wasn't even hot yet, only about two months. the shocking fact first crushed his feelings to the bottom of the abyss. Oh, poor Theo.Since three days ago he had been suspicious of Sean. His male lover, a little ignorant of replying to messages when they are in different countries. Theo was in Italy, while Sean was here in Canada with his mistress. Wrong, it should have been Theo who was the mistress, because Rose and Sean's relationship was 10 months longer.Theo seemed to have a premonition that he chose to follow Sean and in this place he finally found authentic evidence of Sean's betrayal of him. What a bastard. But Theo would not rashly explode in front of the crowd, he was still sane."Sean, here you are." Theo deliberately spoke to wake up the two people who were holding each other intimately. The world feels like it belongs to the two of them, Theo thought to himself.It looks like Theo's decision to speak up was the right choice. Because after that Sean seemed to paled as soon as he realized his existence. The man was upset to see his two lovers with him at the same time and place."T-wh-what are you doing here?" he asked nervously, occasionally looking at Rose. Afraid that her pretty lady might get suspicious."I was going to surprise my girlfriend. It turns out I was surprised first," Theo sarcastically said with a sardonic smile that was so evident on his face. Damn Sean, for making Theo go off the rails. He also broke the man's feelings. What an unfair world this was."Who is he, Sean?"Rose's question immediately provoked Theo to look at the woman sharply. Pretentious, but indeed beautiful-Theo could not deny that fact. The sweet girl's charm was irresistible. Was that also why Sean was dating her?F*ck!Theo cursed inwardly, realizing that he had to compete against a woman for Sean. If she was an ordinary woman, it would be fine. The problem was, the woman he was competing against was-delicious.But no matter what. Theo would fight for his rights, his rights as someone who had been plunged into the world of colors.I will win, Theo's heart began to struggle. His possessive side as a man could no longer be held back. Sean was his, no one could have him."I'm asking you, Sean. Who is this man?""In-he-""I'm a close friend of Sean's. Very close," Theo continued first, cutting Sean off. "Isn't that right, Sean?" he continued with a triumphant smile seeing Sean trapped by circumstances. For Theo, it was great to see Sean's paled face in Rose's presence. The man looked like he had been caught red-handed after committing a theft."Yes, Rose. T's my best friend."It turned out that Sean was very quick to master the situation. Now he could smile sweetly in front of Rose, as if he wanted to prove to Rose that Theo was indeed his 'familiar' friend."Why did I never know?" asked Rose, looking thoughtful. She was not an idiot who could forget who the people in Sean's circle of friends were. And Theo, was a complete stranger to her."I haven't had a chance to introduce him to you. Meet Rose. This is Theodore, the Italian guy. My best friend. You can call him T." Sean gave Theo a meaningful look, so that his male lover could follow his game in acting.Of course Theo was good at reading situations. He immediately extended his hand in front of Rose, waiting for her to shake his big hand."I'm Roseline Olesya."Theo was completely unaware that his destiny had just begun when Rose agreed to let their hands intertwine. If there was any lightning in the sky, perhaps it was the hearing of the knock given by the earth as proof that their life journey would be set in such a way."How could you fool me, Sean."Theo stared intently at Sean's blue bead once they were in the same room together. Theo had been following Sean wherever he went, including when Sean took Rose back to the apartment.Theo wanted to ask for an explanation as to what Sean meant by cheating on him, even though the man himself offered to be the cure for Theo's pain towards Magda. But it was Sean who lit the fuse to hurt his feelings."You know I don't like traitors," Theo continued as Sean only silently looked at him with an unreadable look."I never betrayed you, T. Rose was the victim of our relationship.""Fuck you, Sean. How long has your relationship with that woman been?""One year."F*ck!Theo cursed knowing the truth. Sean was too much, how could he play with the relationship between the three of them like this. Theo knew very well how it felt to be betrayed, Rose would be very disappointed if she found out what her lover had done."Yesterday you demonized Magda, now you are not much
"Once at the park, as long as Mommy has something to do. Oracle should not go far to play. Okay?" Rose spoke as she focused on finding a vacant lot to park the car. She had been forced to bring Oracle along during the meeting to discuss the employment contract, because she had promised the child to take him out for some fresh air. "Yes, Mommy. I got it," Oracle exclaimed excitedly. The adorable boy was very attentive. He was a smart boy, not one to trouble Rose or anything like that. "Good boy. Now let's get down." Rose helped little Oracle unbuckle the seat belt. Looking at the crowd in the park. Rose realized something, it seemed like she picked the wrong place, but what the hell. For this client, she wasn't under the thumb of the boss at the bar where she worked. This offer came from someone who strongly refused to have direct contact with the leader of the free workers alliance, preferring to make eye contact with the service provider herself—the reason why Rose chose the park
"Mommy, is that Aunty Bri?" asked Oracle as his eyes caught a beautiful familiar figure in the distance. As for Rose, she turned her head quickly at the mention of Oracle's name. A little incredulous Rose saw her friend here, with a man who-wait a minute... wasn't that man the one who saved Oracle yesterday? What a coincidence that they met! Oh, Rose must remember to thank him. But Rose had no time to think about approaching them. It turned out that Oracle had first run, shouting happily, towards the two people who were together there. "Aunty!" shrieked Oracle, already leaving Rose far behind. Of course, yesterday's events were enough to make Rose wary. She quickly ran after Oracle and witnessed firsthand how Oracle embraced the beautiful woman called 'Aunty Bri'. "I've missed you so much, Aunty!" "I really miss you," Oracle continued once their hug was broken. "You still remember me?" That soft, half disbelieving voice made Rose smile slightly. She was happy to see the twinkl
After an impromptu meeting with Bridgette that was never expected. Now Rose is back on her way to the bar where she works. There is an unnamed client that Rose wants to serve.Rose felt strange, but hearing the fantastic fee—she decided to cancel the unsigned contract. The money could add to Rose's savings, which were currently lacking to carry out a mission, a secret mission that had been kept tightly under wraps until now.Rose's car drove leisurely at a moderate speed. It was still afternoon, she had a few more hours of meetings with the mysterious client.As for Oracle, Bridgette had asked permission to be with her son for a while. Of course Rose didn't refuse. Brigette had full rights over Oracle. Besides, there was no way Rose could forbid mother and son to be together. Living alone made Rose understand the black and white of life.The half-hour journey finally brought Rose to her destination. There was already a special parking lot for Rose, so she didn't have to bother looking
"What the hell, Aiden? What kind of client are you throwing me at?!" Rose, emotions stirring in her head, entered without knocking the door to the privacy of a man who was currently sitting in a swivel chair, focused on the computer screen in front of him. Aiden. He was the owner of the bar and the one who always promoted Rose. They were 10 years apart in age. It was not presumptuous of Rose to call her boss by name. But Aiden himself asked for it. He didn't like Rose calling him with the frills that seemed respectful, because actually Aiden had feelings for Rose. He knew how Rose was. The woman he loved, never once glanced at him. Aiden knew Rose purely considered their relationship as 'superior and subordinate'. Nothing more. And he preferred to keep his feelings, which were growing day by day as Rose gave him her sweetest smile. "I knew you would come here, Rose. What's wrong, why are you so angry?" Aiden did his best to remain calm as he looked at Rose who was on fire.
"Why did you ask me to meet. Does Sean know?" asked Rose as she approached the man who had suddenly contacted her. "No, he doesn't. I have something to talk to you about Sean." The man looked at Rose sharply. His lips curled at the thought of the woman's hurt expression when she found out the truth he was about to reveal. "What?" "Sean and I have a deep connection. He's mine and I'm his." Theo was the one behind his meeting with Rose. This was just the initial plan. Theo wanted to see how Rose would react when he exposed his affair with Sean. But she laughed out loud at his revelation. Did Theo look like he was joking? No, he didn't. Theo himself was so sure his face was like a dry chamois, stiff. "You're this! Oh, my God. I know the burden of life is heavy, but if you want to joke around, don't do it like this. You make my stomach hurt." As much as possible Rose held back the laughter that was still audible. Theo is really ridiculous! She thought at this moment. "I'm not joki
"Leave Sean, then I'll get out of here!" Theo spoke back to Rose as his friend left them. What an idiot! Rose thought as she began to lose her temper. "You should leave Sean alone. He's my future husband, he proposed to me. We're getting married next year!" Like being doused in sewage, Theo's feelings were suddenly shattered by Rose's answer. Sean didn't say that he had proposed to Rose and was going to marry her. What was going on in Sean's brain? Why would he plunge Theo into sin if he ended up choosing another woman over him? "Now get out of my sight!" screeched Rose seeing Theo just silently absorbing fate. Theo blinked for a moment. Then he shook his head quickly, not wanting to give up. Just proposed, not yet down the aisle. Theo could still separate the two, even when they were married. "You're a whore. Don't expect Sean to marry you. You are like heaven and earth, never to be united." Theo was getting impatient, until the sentence he was holding back finally
"I love you, T. Proposing to and marrying Rose later is just a status to cover my shame. We'll still be together even if I get married." Just one step inside the apartment, Rose had to be treated to a loud voice from Sean that made her feelings abandoned. The heart that was still in the form of a lump, immediately crumbled into pieces. Moreover, the scene in front was so suffocating. Two men were hugging, then followed by an unpleasant scene. The sound of two lips clashing was like the saddest song Rose had ever heard. The betrayal that Sean had committed in front of her eyes really disappointed Rose. Ever since the trip, she had been bothered by Sean's disappearance. Rose thought, she'd rather go to Sean's apartment directly than not get any news from her boyfriend. How could Sean destroy Rose's last hope of love. Having an affair with a man, seriously, what had Rose been missing? Rose knew. Sean had never gotten what she had been told he didn't want, to enjoy her body.
Zever's sudden departure made quite an impression on Rose. At that moment she and Travis silently watched the backs of two people who were moving away. Rose didn't dare say anything as she herself realized Travis was leaving her behind—Travis looked down and Rose hoped he was okay, then followed with careful steps carrying her triplet into the mansion building. Two hours after the incident in the back garden, and after putting the children to bed, Rose soon caught up with Zever's whereabouts. Through the messages given to Lion, Rose certainly monitored whatever was happening outside. This included asking how Travis was doing. The man was behaving as before, but there was one problem. Zever in the living room with a ripple face so cold and gray eyes that stared half-empty arranged miniature joints on the table. Rose repeatedly took a breath just to steady herself sitting next to her husband. "Zever," Rose called out, wanting to make sure he would respond or not. Z
"I'm done, Theo. Now it's your turn—" Rose thought, after stepping out of the bathroom and changing there. She would find Theo keeping all three of their babies in their proper positions, but that big body—in his sideways sleep—seemed to be deeper than the three babies who were snoozing peacefully. Exhausted. That's how Rose interpreted it, because these days Theo was often busy in the middle of the night—looking after their babies, while Rose was forced to rest. Rose smiled slightly as she rubbed the top of Theo's head. It was only for a moment that she turned to her triplets to transfer them to the trolley. Rose would take them for a walk in the back garden. Finished with the transfer she returned to Theo simply covering her husband's body with a thick blanket. "We're leaving first." Rose briefly kissed the corner of Theo's face. She pushed the trolley carefully towards the elevator. Rose already knew where the elevator was, it was quite hidden—and Theo had no
"I got a lot of grandchildren." O'Douglas laughed like a pirate captain who had just discovered a historic treasure. Each of the middle-aged man's arms flanked two tiny babies, while the other was in the arms of Verasco, who continued to hold them, occasionally bringing them closer with a lighthearted joke. There was no telling what Rose would say as she watched her children being swarmed as soon as Verasco and O'Douglas walked into the ward. She had just finished breastfeeding, so the satiated babies would just sleep through the day, and not trouble their two grandfathers. "You never stopped looking at me," Rose said quietly. Most of the time Theo had a glare on his face, but right now the gray bead was shining something different. It was so loving and some of it Rose couldn't interpret correctly. How could Rose stand being shot at so closely. Theo had to, just once, look away from her. "Thank you, Sugar." A gentle touch on the skin of Rose's face made her
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
