Rose looked at him timidly. “I want to help her seek justice!”Scowling, Jay said, “Does this mean that you’re going against me?”Rose was adamant. “Yes!”Snickering, he asked, “What are you going to do to defy me?”She replied, “You’re belittling me? Haven’t you heard that bugs with 100 legs never die?”Jay scoffed back at her. “You have only two legs, though. That’s far from 100!”Rose, “...”Damn it, he was being this shameless. This guy was not half bad himself.“Sir Ares, you were being tyrannical,” Rose retorted. “Rose, you’re very naughty today…” Jay’s expression darkened. “You Areses are not short on cash anyway, so just give her some money and maybe she’ll feel better.”“This is not an issue of money.”“You’re just being stingy!”Jay, “...”How had he left her with such a bad impression of him?As the doors of the elevator opened, Zayne and Josephine walked out.Rose leaned her back against the wall and puffed her cheeks, her heaving chest making her look lik
As if on cue, a phone call from Jay came ringing.“Zayne, bring Rose back in here. Also, take your woman away!” Jay started blasting away at the phone.“Sure, sure, sure, Sir Ares.”Zayne wiped the sweat off his brows and escorted Rose back.When she saw him, Josephine glowered at Zayne. “Tell me, is it true that you fancy her and not me?”Zayne said remorsefully, “Sorry, I took the wrong person.”Hearing this, she punched him lightly. “I’ll pound you to death, believe me. How could you even mess up like that?”The two were back together again.Jay’s hand reached over to Rose, yet she hid her hands behind her back, leaving his hands to hang mid-air.After a while, he gave in. “Since you want to give her some form of compensation, I’ll do as you say.”Rose promptly beamed with joy and intimately took his hand. “Sir Ares, the feast is about to begin. Let’s go.”Jay was starting to have a bad headache.Let the feast commence!The seats were all filled by now.At the front wa
Baby Zetty wore a pretty little white dress, looking pure and flawless.All of her kids were anxiously anticipating the union of Daddy and Mommy. It was going to be a union of a lifetime. However, Rose did not want to do this at all.Jenson put his little mouth beside his mother. “Mommy, Daddy said that if you listen to him today, he’ll listen to you from now on.”Rose suddenly remembered!She almost forgot about that. If he failed to destroy her today, tomorrow he would be destroyed by her instead.On that thought, she joyfully strutted up to the stage.She slowly walked toward Jay, her snow-white dress emanating brilliant rays under the lights. Her dress trailed on the floor, held by the children. It was as perfect as a wedding dress.Jay strolled to her and held up her hand, his warm gaze fixating on her dreamy face.“Are… Are you serious about this?” Rose felt like she was in a dream.“Mm,” came Jay’s reply.Rose looked at his expressionless face and thought to herself,
During the dinner, Jay put food on her plate non-stop.Rose saw the mountain of food on her plate and cried out, “Sir Ares, you’re about to literally love me to death.”Hearing her, his face darkened. “Where in the world did you get your big mouth from?”In the past, her words were sweeter than honey. One sentence could make him lose sleep for nights in a row.Now, every word that came out of her mouth was acid, charring and burning him from inside out.If only he knew from whom she got that from, he would cut her up into pieces.He put down his cutlery, his appetite gone.He motioned to the garden outside to rest.Rose followed him out, feeling uneasy. She had nothing to benefit from now that she had offended him.As she stepped out, she was surrounded by a group of noble and aristocratic women. They all admired her and were jealous of her while envying her at the same time.“Miss Loyle, you’re Mrs. Ares now. Please look after us from now on.”“Master Ares cares for you so
After the feast, the guests dispersed accordingly.While Jay sent them off, Rose took the chance and slipped back into Fragrant Vessel Court. She was thinking about how she had to get Jay to sign that contract no matter what.She took out the contract and to her surprise, she noticed that it already had the seal of Ares Films Limited on it as well as Jay’s name.Rose was ecstatic!Since the contract was done, she had no more reason to stay there any longer. It would only give him the chance to harm her. After changing back into her clothes, she took the contract and was getting ready to leave. Coincidentally, Jay arrived home at this very moment.“Where are you going?” Jay’s forehead had veins sticking out of it, his anger seemingly at its peak.Rose knew that he was going to go back on his word.His cunning self finally showed through.She maintained her composure and said, “Sir Ares, you lied to me. You said that no matter what I’ve done wrong, you won’t get angry.”Jay sl
The next day, Jay woke up.He did not see his beloved woman anywhere, but instead, he saw her special ‘present’. He was suddenly furious!This was getting more and more outrageous!“Someone get in here!”When the housekeeper entered the room and saw Jay tied down to the bed, they could not help but gape in disbelief.“Young Master, which b*stard did this to you?”Jay’s eyes were cold as he gazed at the housekeeper intensely. “It was the missus.”The housekeeper covered their mouth. “I apologize, Young Master. I take back my words.”“Mm.”“But why did the missus tie you to the bed?” asked the housekeeper curiously.“The missus likes it rough. Is there a problem?”“No… No problem.”Did the missus like being this rough?After Jay was freed from his shackles, he instantly took his phone and dialed Rose’s number.He could only hear beeping noises on the phone… It was obvious that this girl had blocked his number.Jay gloomily threw his phone against the wall…The housekeeper
Rose knew that he must have gotten wind of this, so she did not hide any longer. “I gifted myself to him, which was how I got this contract.”Zayne, “...”Jay took out his phone, typed out a line of text, and held it up in front of Zayne.“Rose, let’s meet up!”“Alright, text me where and when.”Rose agreed easily.“Oh, okay,” as Zayne said that, Jay ended the call.Then, he snatched Zayne’s phone over and said with a forceful tone, “Lend me your phone.”Zayne reached out to snatch it back. “Then what am I going to use?”He handed him a wad of dollars. “Go buy a new one.”Zayne felt helpless. “I have many clients on my phone. What happens if they call me?”“I’ll answer the calls for you.”“They’re going to discuss job partnerships with me. Are you going to do that for me as well?”Jay opened the contacts page, gave it a look, then gave Zayne a condescending gaze. “You must’ve contacted them for a long time, but they’re all ignoring you, right?”Zayne frowned. “Please don’
Swallow City.After Rose handed over the agreement between Ares and Severe Films to George Severe, he quickly glanced over the details and was astonished.“For Ares Enterprises’ investment, if it succeeds, the profits are split half and half. If it fails, then they’ll bear all the losses. Jay Ares doesn’t ever do a losing business, but he sure is extra generous to Severe Enterprise.”Rose replied, “Ares Films’ profits mean little to them. Furthermore, I spent a lot of effort just to get this contract. It wasn’t his idea to be this generous.”George took a piece of newspaper from the drawer and threw it over to Rose. His expression became solemn. “Is this true?”Rose looked at the ‘wedding’ picture of Jay and her. Below was a caption about their mysterious love story.“Dad, the wedding’s real, but the love’s fake. Both of us merely took what we wanted. I want the contract, he wants to divert the public’s attention from the Ares family’s fire incident. The scenario was perfect. Do
