All Chapters of Married by a Couple of Shots: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Instead of sleeping, Rossie used her time googling up the name of the man she married. There was nothing online; no information about the name on the paper! How is she supposed to find him now to file a divorce? There were so many questions in her head. How did it even become real? How was she going to divorce this guy? Is that why he appeared so suddenly last night and called her wife? Did his letter come faster than hers? She massages her temples from all of her unanswered questions. For a day, she let it go and decided to keep it cool for her sister’s birthday. Smiling and entertaining relatives and guests were a must to her but her mind couldn’t help but take her back to her marriage certificate whenever she sees rings. When finally the party was over, she calls her best friend Ellisa. The girl was eating her lunch at work, giving her that weird look that says, “look at you in bed all comfy” which made Rossi roll her eyes. “What are you calling about? Shouldn’t you be sleeping

“Of course, you can call me your hubby,” Jared grins giving her a glimpse and back on the road. He could imagine how surprised she could’ve looked.“Didn’t you hear what I said?” “Too loud, baby.”He hears her release a sharp breath. It somehow amused Jared how this repulsive wife of his behaves. From the moment they encounter at the bar, he should’ve known.“Baby? Listen I’m not supposed to be married! I have a boyfriend!”“Then you should’ve stayed at home,” he calmly said.Rossie smacks her lips in frustration, giving him the infamous rolled eyes while shaking her head lightly. They sure don’t quite get along.“What in the ‘it was an accident' don’t you understand?” she fires.“Why haven’t you filed one? You could’ve gone today.”“You’re making this difficult,” she mutters. “How long did you know we were married?”“Two weeks ago,” he replies.A sarcastic laugh echoed in the car, following his wife’s glare. He didn’t have to look at her, he could already feel the tension that someo

I want to stay married. Jared's words echoed in Rossie's head. It took her three long minutes to react, opening her mouth and blinking in disbelief again. Did she hear it right? Or is her mind having thoughts of its own?"C-Come again?" she asked."I want to stay married," he repeated.So, she didn't mishear it. It was just hard for her brain to process the thought that Jared was making this more complicated for her. She breathes in and out. "Now why would you want to stay married?" She tries to be calm. "You know I have a boyfriend, right? I can't stay married to you!""I know but he doesn't need to know," he casually said.Why is it so easy for him? she asked in her head, feeling her blood boiling in her veins. This guy clearly didn't think this through."I am not that kind of girl!" She completely broke composure. "I am going to divorce you no matter what happens! I'm sure we'll see each other in court!" Rossie was about to open the car door but it was locked. She shifted her hea

Rossie has been awake the whole morning. She couldn't shake the fact that Jake was coming home in a few hours. She was even invited by his parents to their place for his homecoming. That's how special Jake is to them.The family Vermond is well known to define elegance. They were very strict with the whole family of lawyers, generation to generation, and now, Jake. He is well a disappointment to his clan for being with somebody who works in customer service. In the past, Jake's parents wanted Rossie to pursue college and enroll in a law school but she didn't want to feel indebted. Also, being a lawyer wasn't her passion. She is still figuring out what she really wants to do at the age of 25. Most people would figure out what they want or that they're already set on a path but her? She's just a wandering ghost, lost in the present and struggling to know her own.A knocking on her door kept her out of her thoughts. She looks at the door and it opened before she could even say it was, r

Although Jared didn't shout it out, he still made Rossie listen to him. She knows it is not a good thing to provoke someone like him and she knows she won't get another chance. It all depends on her being nice to him now since he has something that she needs.Rossie looks away, adjusting the pillow around her neck, and then hides half of her face with the plushie that he gave her. It can't be helped. "As long as you commit to your words about tomorrow then be it.""I don't say things I don't mean," he repeated the sense of what he said earlier.The ride was quiet and long that it had Rossie falling asleep again. The funny thing is that Jared never woke her up. They stayed parked at some vacant lot until she slowly moved, making her morning face that made him hide a smile. She even did some stretches, opening her eyes halfway."We've been here for quite a while now," he tells her. Looking at Rossie it seems like she was still making her way into the world. "You're asleep for about thre
