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.
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
"No, you don't. You had your fill of acting like a baby last night." Rose ruffled the remaining strands of hair that still dangled over half of Theo's face. She looked down, searching for the most comfortable spot to strike. "Ouh, Sugar ...." A contrived hiss. Rose knew that no matter how much she clenched her teeth, it wouldn't give Theo much leverage. "Let go. I have to meet, Axe." "You son of bitch. I hope you don't leave before I get back." The chances of escape were slim in the conditions Rose had to face. She wasn't going to waste it, deliberately hunting her nimble footsteps leaving Theo alone lost on the bed. Rose reached for the doorframe. The hinges clicked after she positioned herself facing the man who had been calling impatiently. "You're taking so long." The stifled protest from the owner of the deep, raspy voice uploaded a barely perceptible smile on Rose's lips. "Sorry, Axe. I h
"Open your eyes, Theo." The throbbing was still as loud as it had been the first time Theo had spoken. Rose's heart and head were fighting each other. Each fighting for the space that overlapped the boundaries she had created for herself. In between came a strange feeling, which Rose could not organize into a symphony. She was a jumbled mess of randomness. Should have reconsidered Xelle's sentence a moment ago, was it true that Rose was trying to stay with someone who made her get lost in her own feelings? .... No, she wasn't. Rose didn't want to be confused by all that reality. As far as possible, she separated the things that shouldn't be lodged in the deepest corner of her heart. Towards a kind of choice which is the most appropriate to win Rose's sanity. She didn't want to be conquered. "Wake up. Get up, Theo!" Rose squeezed the clay muscles in her husband's arm. Turning the curled up body to face the ceiling of the main room. "T
"What conclusion?" A look of unequal color narrowed sarcastically. Rose's face was lifted a little roughly until she looked up and stared at each other. "It's so bad that even saying his name scares Oracle. And you say he didn't mean it?" Xelle's whisper was like a spark of fire. Quite disturbing if Rose had to admit it. She brushed off the lingering link of fingers, though Xelle's actions were not hurtful. "Theo didn't mean to. I was the one who misplaced the Oracle in our midst," Rose argued, not realizing how the blind finally blinked. "You're defending him, Rose?" Rose swallowed harshly. The glint in her eyes flickered quickly. "I'm not. It's just that you don't understand. I told you, that Theo did that out of his control. He had a nightmare last night." Rose held back the lump in the back of her throat. "You know I love Oracle, Axe, he's my son too. But please don't make a mess here. I've seen my husband hurt enough times. Not anymore. P
"Oracle, are you sure you want to go straight home? Not wait for Om T to wake up first?" Oracle's rejection firmly dispelled the offer Rose had repeatedly made. Rose's breath rushed out, lips pressed together thinly. She contemplated everything that had not and would happen. In front of her, from a distance Rose had guessed what Xelle's reaction would be, if the blue bruise on Oracle's conspicuously elastic bandage—covered wrist caught the heterochromia's eye. As slow as a leaf combing Rose changed position. Towering high, she awaited the quick approach of the one who was now beside her. "Daddy." The thin curve of the lips responded to Oracle's greeting. A neat knit of eyebrows rose with Xelle's sharp eyes scrutinizing. He took a deep look at Rose's face, then turned back to the first focal point. His large body knelt down, light as a feather to reach for Oracle's small fingers—noticing carefully the cloth wrapped densely... breaking the suspi
"Travis." Rose pushed her way in, making the man behind the ledger jump. "Sorry, Travis. I was in a hurry." "What is it, Miss?" The light question came after Travis closed the thin sheet marked with a string. "Do you have any painkillers or anything to treat the bruises on Oracle's hands? Theo just had a nightmare and accidentally did this to him. I'm scared if anything happens." Travis's eyebrows shot up. "Mr.T just had a nightmare?" he asked. In stark contrast to Rose's haste. Travis was too calm to notice the extent of the bruise. "No need to worry, miss. You'd better see the master, I'll treat him." Travis smiled. She hesitated between refusing or agreeing. Rose glared at Travis and Oracle's faces in turn. She blinked. "Are you sure there's nothing to worry about?" "Yes, Miss. I can handle it. You should see the master. He may need you." Stunned, considering things from all angles. Rose finally sighe
"Uncle T, you hurt me. Let me go!" "Uncle T!" Rose tried to understand the situation in the dim room. Faint squeals of pain clashed in the air. Rose frowned, as the almost uninterrupted movement in its entirety pulled her closed brown eyes wide open. In front of Rose several black events were fully recorded, broadcasting the silhouette of a rough resistance along with a small body that was trying hard to pull himself out of the grip of the subconscious. Rose's heart hammered violently. All the chaos overlapped to form ornaments in her head. She took definite steps, quickly bringing half the darkness to light. And then some things that Rose couldn't digest properly, appeared in a heap, jolting her feelings. On that torture—like bed .... Oracle was completely unable to resist the strong grip that could be seen from the muscles digging into the surface of the large, clayey, man—sized arms of the person there. The
