One of Theo's eyebrows rose high. The desire to see Rose grew by leaps and bounds. He hadn't thought about how to crawl there. For all Theo knew, Rose cared far more about Sean. But a sense of distaste began to creep up and besiege his emotional control.

"Tell me where?" He gave him a sharp look, which held Travis frozen in place.

"The third room after this one, sir."

He had to, even though he had to. Travis hesitantly followed Theo from behind. His footsteps halted as he realized Theo was just standing there in front of the door to the hospital room they were in.

Something had just angered his master—evident from the fist tightening, then unclenching as Theo moved away. Leaving the residual scent of the man's body there.

"What's wrong, sir?"

"Going home."

The single word represented the regret that had burst forth. Theo passed Travis's body accompanied by a piece of cold, smoldering atmosphere.

    The whisper seduced Rose into shutting her eyes. She was not fooled at all. The thrill that had once been there was gone... nothing could make her feel lulled. Rose's fingers brushed against one of the clasped arms. "I'm sorry, Sean...but I'm not." "Let go!" She was already trying to separate such a link. And the more Rose tried, the tighter Sean held her. "I'm your sister-in-law, Sean. You shouldn't be doing this. Let go of me." "No, you're not. You're mine." The voice maintained a tight grip that provoked disgust. "Let go. Please respect Theo. He kept his promise to me to bring you home. Even risked his life to save you." "He promised you, that means you do care. I know you still love me. You can choose to come back to me or stay with T." Witson's descendants, it seemed... without exception, were so stubborn and full of ambition. Rose couldn't help but step on Sean's toes—at that moment relief filled her chest cavity. She

    Arriving at the mansion, something Rose had never imagined greeted her before her eyes. The divorce papers, complete with the signatures of both parties, lay on the bed along with three roses. Tucked into the stem was a piece of white paper, as well as a small bag of thick blood, which Rose could well understand the function and purpose of Theo handing over the blood. Rose's heart pounded as she reached for the rose, which was no longer red. That is, for this time Theo had chosen kissing pink as a gift. [Those roses are my last.] That's what it said. They were the last roses Rose would ever receive. Next there would be no more shrubbery as Theo had said-365 days that hadn't even passed halfway. That's okay. Rose didn't mind Theo's decision on that one. But divorce .... She had already decided not to pursue her lawsuit all the way to court. Instead, the misunderstanding became a thorn and put their marria

    "What's the connection between you and that slut?" Sean turned away while being cautious. Not having finished controlling his emotions since Rose's departure, there was one face that made his anger boil over. Verasco and the middle-aged man's haughty attitude, Sean wanted to throw out the window. "Watch what you say. Rose has a name." Sean hissed sarcastically. Verasco's insult provoked the pebbles gathering in Sean's soul. "I don't care what her name is. A whore is still a whore." "Shut your fucking mouth, old fart!" Verasco's snicker was followed by a step closer. "Wow... you seem to be very sensitive when it comes to her." "She's my ex-lover, why?" It came as quite a surprise to Verasco that both his sons were enamored with the same woman. His attention and curiosity about Rose was growing. Verasco was interested in getting a woman who dared to reject him. Verasco's lo

    And Rose was too enthusiastic to walk down the steps. A large field spread out before Rose. The private jet was parked specifically not far enough away, though Rose was met by a car that would take her to the two separate buildings Rose had been in. Each leg of Rose's journey was filled with a thud. Who knew how Theo would react when they met there. Rose tried not to be influenced by the thoughts that indoctrinated Theo's bad side and sometimes unpredictable attitude. She wanted to handle Theo's anger in a simple way. "Just stop here." Rose's attention was drawn towards the pavilion. Lion and some men seemed to be busy chatting. Rose thought Theo was one of them. But the handsome man seemed to be drowning in the deep sea. "The master is probably resting, Miss." A heavy voice startled Rose from the side. Rose didn't even realize when she got out of the car. And that man, the one who had introduced himself, was already carryi

    "Does anyone know if Theo's wife has had dinner yet?" Rose came up to Lion and his friends as they were gathered in the living room. She did not miss Theo who was too focused alone on the single sofa, playing with the laptop on his lap. Not a new sight for Rose—Theo and his dating robot were inseparable. "Master's wife? Meaning... you, Miss?" Lion's brow furrowed. His demeanor was much warmer after Rose invited them all to have dinner together. "You saw me eat earlier. I asked about Theo's wife. That beautiful, furry wife." Rose pointed with her chin at Esmeralda's position curled up under the sofa leg. Almost. She almost heard a snicker, which was then stifled from the four men before her. "I was seriously asking," Rose continued, also unable to contain herself. The spotlight that was trained on her, however, made Rose neutralize her tone. "So does anyone know?" "I don't think so, Miss." Rose's face scrunched u

    Bastard! Rose's lips thinned in annoyance. "I'm more than sure it's not you who's going to mess up the colors you've arranged." Then dismissed the outstretched arm. Theo suddenly shuffled next to her body that had just taken a sitting position to address the reddened marks on both knees. One of Theo's hands held his stomach, the other half covered his face and trembling shoulders held back the laughter that was about to burst out even stronger. It was a sight Rose had never seen in her life. Either she should let it go on for a while or stop Theo from euphorizing over her misery. "Sucks!" Theo's body shifted vigorously. "Don't laugh at me!" A solid, muscular arm was targeted by the claws between Rose's thumb and forefinger. "Oh my. Wait a minute." Theo rubbed his face repeatedly. He had to fight hard against the intriguing memory of Rose whose position was too messed up to imagine. "Shit, I can't!" he swore, unable to contain himse

    Rose had never enjoyed the sea breeze so much. The smile on her face was faint at the thought of the night's events. This might be a new beginning, a glimmer of hope rolling into view. Who knows how far the storms that have been there will go. Slowly Rose would finish what was left undone. A little calmer, yes, although she never thought that Binari would lead her to Theo. And how Theo was a hitman, that was the biggest question. But Rose knew such puzzles would not end easily. Especially Theo... Rose had already decided not to find out much about her husband's former life. It was too tiring to have to remember the closed responses and the ones that never lived up to expectations. If Rose had to think back. Even without Sean, she and Theo would have met. It was a pity that coincidences were part of unexpected expectations. Fate seemed to have been specially designed. However, there was one addition where Rose felt no need to sink into the dangerous abyss.

    Rose rubbed her face furiously. Either she'd been struggling for too long without success, or she'd never noticed that her every move never escaped the scrutinizing eyes of the ashes, so that just one tug from Theo had left Rose's body soaking under the rushing water. "Theo, I'm already in the shower!" protested Rose, occasionally tossing her long hair back. She looked up. The handsome face grew hotter with a few strands of hair dangling and with drops of water splashing like dew. "You've been going back and forth incoherently, are you teasing me on purpose or what?" "Teasing from where! I'm looking for my bracelet that I left behind. Move aside, I'm not done yet." It's not that easy. Rose's back was turned, hitting Theo's solid muscles as she tried to escape from the torrent of wetness. "Is this what you're looking for?" The bracelet chain dangled in front of Rose's face. She gasped, stood on her tiptoes a little and 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." "
