"Why don't you ask yourself that when you see me kill."

Theo shrugged indifferently. "I'm not condoning your actions, but sometimes doing something bad for the sake of good doesn't hurt." After all, he had been involved in such acts more often than not, and countless lives had been lost at his hands.

"You seem to be getting wiser the older you get," Rose said. Did she just make a compliment?

"No, I didn't. It's just that I feel-"

"You're very skillful and cunning?"

"Not really."

Rose noticed the slight twitch of narrowed eyes amidst the small snickers. "You're always sneaky about everything." She said when the voice stopped.

"If that's what you think... I won't argue. Now we're here."

The grip on her body weakened. Rose spontaneously broke away and stood on the ground, watching

  • (Not) His Sugar Baby   Never Let You Go

    Two hours of waiting at the edge of the rushing stream. Rose sat with her legs bent, one arm supporting her head on its side. The rest of her body stretched out to touch the seepage of water from upstream to downstream. She had insisted on accompanying Theo to look for firewood, but he had flatly refused - citing the classic excuse of energy and safety. Rose thought letting her wait alone, really, wasn't the same as bringing her along on a safe line. Theo was clearly wrong in that interpretation. They could come ambushing Rose at any moment, though she hoped it never happened. Rose's sense of vigilance was still strong. Sometimes turning back just to make sure that no one was there, apart from Theo who was approaching from the other side. Rose stood at attention waiting for Theo to stand in front of her. Rose's attention was drawn to a sizable gilled creature wrapped in a white plastic bag. A drop of water kept falling down, draining

  • (Not) His Sugar Baby   Never Let You Go2

    For Rose it was an ambiguous sentence. She didn't understand the meaning of Theo's statement. "Why can't I ask questions? Why should I get an answer later?" "Why don't we go home? Why do we have to wait until one night?" Protests and a barrage of questions began to come out of her head in sharp tones. A thousand times Theo silenced her. Rose would never stop. "I didn't ask for your credit card pin. Why is it so hard to answer?" "It's just easier to tell you a number. We have no right, Sugar. I know my father, he won't let us go easily." Theo's words unconsciously made Rose take a step back. "It turns out that everything that happened was because of your father? The person who called was also... your father?" At the time of the incident Rose thought Verasco was the mastermind of the painful times she had to go through. But she dismissed any bad thoughts-that a father wouldn't be so willing to put his chil

    The firearm was already in Rose's grasp. Running away from her previous position had been a constant activity ever since she decided to leave Theo there. Rose was getting further and further away from the corner of the towering tree. Her steps continued to carry her through several branching paths. She desperately hoped Theo was still asleep so he wouldn't have a chance to smell her leaving. Slight chance... Rose smiled as she realized she was nearing the border of the vehicle traffic. She continued to paw at her feet before a strong and rough blow to the back of her neck stopped her ability to move. The instant, all-encompassing pain nearly froze Rose. She forced herself to turn around, to find a horde of strange men standing proudly... rippling with cruel smiles and a deep mysterious edge. "Where are you going again, beautiful?" Rose's gaze was unfocused. She wanted to dodge but the blow she

    Rose vaguely noticed the leafy foliage waving in the night breeze. As Rose recalls, she was still sitting up before falling asleep waiting for Theo not to close his eyes. She had mistakenly assumed Theo would fall asleep more easily under the touch of her hand. The man had a steady vigilance. Leaving Rose trapped by her own plans and desires. "Nightmare?" Such a question made Rose's face turn away. A campfire was burning in front of Theo. The man appeared to be grilling a fish stuck on a tree trunk, sliced from tail to head. The aroma filled Rose's sense of smell. She hesitantly sat down and bent her legs beside Theo. Starting to think about the contents of the horrible dream, which felt so real. What if Rose's dream really happened? She couldn't imagine having to bleed with hot lead lodged in her body. It would be so painful, though Rose never knew... sometimes dreams can be a coincidence and pass as reality. Was that wh

    Theo's sensual tone tickled Rose's sense of hearing. She was already trying to finish the remaining fish meat in her hand quickly. "What an impatient uncle! Even in the forest you can still be perverted," Rose grumbled. Theo chuckled almost out loud. They didn't realize they were being watched by a group of people. Some of them were ready to point various weapons. One of the others was some distance away, talking quietly to someone using a handy talkie. [You can only capture that bastard after paralyzing his consciousness.] The harsh sound of the device's waveform capture made the one person nod even though he was invisible. Then returned to catch up with the group at the hiding place. A small crossbow, the pointy end of which contained a quick-acting anesthetic, had been prepared. They waited for the right time to release it. "If I don't forget, you teased me yourself this morning."

    "Tell your partner to stop hacking the coordinate points in that forest, Travis. Mr. T is still alive!" Lion spoke in an excited tone. His gaze was fully focused on the string of text messages from Verasco. He had confirmed it repeatedly, becoming even more certain when Verasco fully returned Anthony's divided troops to stand guard in two places. "Tricking me or what?" asked Travis. Never letting go of his focus in front of the monitor driven by a man, none other than his acquaintance. Coinciding with the activity. They lost their way, where the coordinates should still be lit up. "The old man has closed any access to it. Neither his group, nor us together can track anything. He himself will come to the lord after ordering Elijah to lead the search." If only Verasco was in front of him. Lion would not have been so bold as to give a nickname that would cost him his life. But he was never one to misrepres

    "No, sir. Please don't do this. Theo-" Rose cried out violently. Turning to the side... at Theo who responded slightly. The look of ash was suddenly blank. Rose and Theo seemed to have the same instinct-the fetus in Rose's womb was in grave danger. The loud clatter of chains hitting the marble. Theo's rebellion was as useless as Graham slowly inserted one or two fingers into Rose's body, followed by three more. "Don't touch my wife, damn it!" Theo's angry words soared into the air. He insisted on jerking the chains in his hands with all his might. Rose's scream of pain was something that made Theo's whole being crack beyond repair. Graham had gone too far. The man's forearms were submerged, his fingers already reaching the cervix. It wasn't difficult for him to remove the fetus and placenta from Rose's womb. "Please stop... don't ...." The cries of pain from an expectant mother

    Graham's lifeless body was thrown on the ground. Devastated, Theo found blood clot-like tissue, dark red and shiny under Rose's leg, which had been carried out when he pulled off Graham's arm. The tissue was shaped like a heart and there was a pouch with a pea-sized embryo inside. Theo looked closely and in detail ... devastated to see eyes, arms, and legs already formed. What father's heart doesn't break. He had just lost a child. What kind of human would do that to an innocent fetus? The previous statement was true. The culmination of Theo's regret... he felt it was wrong to have brought Rose into the encounter that ruined their lives. There was no more little being in Rose's womb. Their hopes were dashed, snatched away by the selfishness of one man. Seven months Theo and Rose should have waited, but reality told them otherwise. They failed with a sad ending. And what of Rose's inner pain? The poor woman was persecuted the most. The deep trauma would obviously affe

    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

  • (Not) His Sugar Baby   Wedding

    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." "

  • (Not) His Sugar Baby   Inviting

    "This many invitations, who will be at our event?" Rose's attention was fixed on Theo and the concorde sheet of paper in his hand. Occasionally she turned back to confirm the existence of a stack of invitations arranged in tiers, some of which were in the trunk of the car with the rest sitting on the passenger seat. The golden color of almost all the invitation paper gave a luxurious impression, especially the embossed writing on the surface added an elegant side. Rose liked it when she was fingering the parts of the letters that popped out. It felt like she had just pampered her fingers. "Is your name right there?" But instead of answering Rose's question, Theo asked her that very thing. "It is." For a moment Rose returned her attention to the invitation paper. O'Douglas. Her eyes searched carefully for the name on the back. Rose had never been allowed to bear the title 'O'Douglas' for the rest of her life, but this time Rose had mad

    Mesmerized. That was one of Theo's main reactions the first time Rose stepped out of the dressing room in a creamy white wedding dress like a romantic bride. An interesting conclusion emerged as Theo gazed at Rose as if she were a gentle woman with twists and turns... so beautiful and pure. The woman's sweet smile was something Theo never imagined he would have in full. Rose was absolutely stunning draped in a dress that began its beauty by leaving Rose's neck exposed in a transparent and elegant way. On the chest, the fabric that fit Rose's body was decorated with lace in the shape of spreading flowers and leaves accompanied by a sprinkling of sparkling crystals. From the hip line, the dress was in full bloom, but not beyond the slightest portion that Rose had to lift when stepping slowly. The curve in Rose's lips grew wider as she stared straight ahead. It was in those moments that Rose realized her husband was still silent without saying anything, as if he

  • (Not) His Sugar Baby   Where do we Start

    After a flurry of activity with several dresses and eye-catching accessories. Rose's decision was then made to meet Theo in the office after parting ways with the woman who introduced herself as Alma as well as the woman's two beautiful secretaries, Evalina and Lindsey. The accidental encounter with Lion, whose fever was much better, was the moment when the man told Rose the whereabouts of Theo—who he said he had accidentally seen when Lion walked around several corners of the mansion just to add to the heat. The man wanted to sweat, but Rose's real business was with Theo. She didn't need to worry about anything else, except that her husband might be busy again. That was also what Lion had said before saying goodbye, which eventually led to Rose standing in front of Theo's study door... wondering if she should knock before entering. She didn't. Rose wouldn't do that once the door had been opened. A dimly lit room showed her husband there. Focused on his laptop, while Esmeralda

  • (Not) His Sugar Baby   Fitting

    Loud howls filled Rose's senses almost all the time. She had locked the room. Her face was buried under the pillow, but Theo deliberately let Esmeralda roam the mansion. Occasionally the baritone's voice even chuckled in her ear. They seemed to be very close and perhaps Rose should have given Theo a warning not to make a single disturbing sound. Rose let out a long sigh letting her footprints rest on the cold marble. Step by step she walked out reaching out and pressing down on the doorframe then pulling the frame inwards, that second at the same time Theo's body fell along with Esmeralda who bit the man's forearm. There was no pain, because what Rose found was that Theo was enjoying Esmeralda's treatment. It actually reminded Rose of the first time she was reunited with a Siberian husky and the first time Theo found out Rose was pregnant. She smiled wryly at the thought of those days. If their baby had been saved, her stomach would have swelled up. "You and your wif
