Chapter XX

I don't want it. I don't want a divorce.Those were the words that came out of Rossie's mouth when Jared made love to her last night. Whether it was real or not, he wanted to know why she suddenly said that. If she didn't want a divorce then why was she in his bed right now? Why did she agree to come here with him? It isn't possible that she'd change her mind about him that fast.He looks over his shoulder, staring at his wife sleeping peacefully while he was on his side of the bed sitting down. Thoughts had made their way to cloud his head. This sudden change in their relationship was something unprecedented and he can't help but think something was wrong. Should he really worry about it? He finally has her in his bed, his life, and she doesn't want to get away from him anymore. This wasn't what he planned. He only needed an alibi for her to stay married to him, not that she'll really love him and stay with him. It's too late to change anything. He just has to be better.Jared laid

Chapter XXI

The time Rossie woke up again, she was all alone in bed. Jared had already told her that he was going to get some work done in the company so she had already expected him to be gone. He did say that she can text or call him anytime she wanted and he'll respond when he gets the time.A bath would be nice. With her sore body, she sits up in bed, slowly gets off, and heads to the bathroom. Yes, she usually saves water but right now, she really wants to try that big bathtub and so she started filling it with water, a warm one.While waiting, she decided to get her phone for some music but then she reads a text from Ellisa asking if she was alright. She sighs heavily.She isn't alright. There are questions she would like to ask Jake. Did he do that because she was thinking about taking her manager's offer to be a Team Lead? But they didn't break up and how could he just bluntly go for another girl without telling her? Oh, who is she kidding? She is even with somebody else, fucking and enj

Chapter XXI.ii

Veronica knocked on Jared's door for the third time and when she didn't hear any reply, she turned the doorknob and pushed the door open. She usually doesn't invite herself into anyone's room but she can do it whenever it's just Rossie in the room. It's time for a bit of teasing.With a step inside, her heels started clattering on the marble floor as she welcomed herself in. Rossie wasn't in the same mini sala so she figures she might be in bed. Well, that's no fun for her.The moment she was about to turn her heels around to face the door, she paused hearing the giggles in the bedroom. An evil grin plastered on her mouth. Well, the little bud is awake for sure.As she was making her way to the doorway to the bed she listens carefully to each word she could hear. Rossie was talking on the phone with another lady and they were laughing. As she gets closer, she decided to stop and eavesdrop.A couple of giggles and a lot of information about Rossie's situation were exchanged and now Ver

Chapter XXII

Three days before the party, Rossie attempted to ask Jared if she could come with him to his workplace. This was something she and Veronica decided on; to investigate what Jared was up to. He seemed so busy these days and he can't even tell her where he was aside from it was work. “So, can I go with you today?” she questions again, giving him those puppy eyes, hoping he'd say yes.“I wonder why you're so curious about my workplace now.” Jared narrowed his eyes at her, giving her a doubting face. “You’re up to something, are you?”“No,” she muttered but the way she looks away made him laugh. He reached for her face and kissed her on the lips before backing away. “I just want to know if you're surrounded by ladies! Fine ones for sure!” “Do you not trust your husband?” he asked, raising his brows at her. This turning of the table made her pout. “You're somehow owning me now. What's changed?” It surprised Rossie how cold he asked her that. Even though he was smiling at her, that questi

Chapter XXIII

It has been three days since Ellisa saw Jake with another woman in the mall and now she's been feeling bad for Rossie. She was right all along. Since their days in the university, she has seen Jake with a bunch of girls. Rossie is just that naive, defending that jerk all the time. There was one fault she did in all those years she has been friends with Rossie and it suffocates her sometimes. She was the one who kept those papers Jared and Rossie signed. It was crazy how the next day, she lost them. Then this happened. If she just burned them or crumpled them and throw them in the bin, Rossie’s eyes wouldn't open. “Do you know when Rossie is going to get back?” one of their teammates asked. “She’s so lucky her leave got approved!” One added. “She earned that,” Ellisa defended. If these guys only knew what was going on they would probably understand.“You know what we noticed, you're always on Rossie’s side. Is there any time you hate Rossie?”Hate is too strong of a word. She'd ge

Chapter XXIII.ii

“If you think I’ll fall for that, you’re thinking wrong,” Ellisa said with a poker face. “Did Jared sign you up for another task?”“As I said I came here because you keep flashing in my head and I can't focus on work,” he replies. “So, I was bothering you, huh?” “In a way, yes.” It made her scoff. Now he made her more angry. “Can we talk about it without the ire on your face?”“Are you apologizing or you're here to force it that I should not be disappointed in you because I very much am!” she sneered. There was a moment of silence until he spoke, “Can we at least talk without these metal bars in between us? I feel like one of us is an inmate.” Somehow Ellisa finds that funny but she kept her blank expression, her eyes piercing at Levius. From the bright sun, he had a slight frown on his face but that didn't stop him from being a gorgeous devil.“I can't,” she says, sighing heavily. No worries matter how much she loves to go and talk to him about makeup, she has to sleep. “I have a

Chapter XXIV

The excitement on Rossie’s face disappeared the moment she sees a woman standing too close to Jared. It was even crazy how they seemed to be doing something before they came in. His buttons were somehow undone and she was fixing her damn skirt. “Is she your new assistant? What happened to Levius?” Veronica asked. “Let me introduce myself,” the woman said but Veronica shot her a death glare, silencing the woman. Jared seemed to read the atmosphere. “I'm sorry about this, Lara. Please excuse me for today.” Lara nodded and took her things. The next moment, she lowered her head to Jared and Veronica and left the room. Rossie still couldn't move. She is too focused not to show the pain she's feeling in her chest. “So, who was she?” Veronica asked again. “A friend,” he answered. Although Veronica was the one who asked that, Jared was looking straight at Rossie, making her more uncomfortable. He saw it and finally shifted his gaze to Veronica. “What are you doing here?”“I thought you

Chapter XXIV.ii

Jared just got home from work and he sees Rossie, a movie on the TV screen but she crashed out, her head on one of the armrests of the couch. He sees a tear rolling down from her eyes and it makes his heart ache. How can he be so cruel not explaining anything to her? Women overthink the worst. He tossed his iPad to the side, sat down the space on the edge of the couch, and reached out a finger to brush off the tear away. Doing so made Rossie frown in her sleep, moving her head a bit. It made him smile. Even in her sleep, she looks adorable to him. For a whole ten minutes, he stayed staring at his wife, memorizing how her lip was perfectly arced, her nose not pointy but it was still cute, her lashes not as long as his but curved so that she doesn't need them lifted and just the way she melts his heart. After that, he stood up and went to change his suit and tie with a white shirt and shorts.During dinner, Rossie kept her distance from Jared. He noticed that so he attempted to hold h

Chapter XXIV.iii

Jared's touch sends chills that burn every inch of Rossie's body. She really wanted to give in, but how he acted earlier kept replaying in her head. He had the chance to explain earlier. Why now when they're alone? Is it because he needs her right now?These thoughts stop her from turning over to hug him back because she herself wants to hug him and cry in his damn chest. Loving Jake was hard enough but this was harder. Getting mad at your husband who is also not your husband; someone who pursued you and now that you entertain your feelings for him, he had to change his mind. "How can I make it up to you?" he asked, his warm breath on her neck making her weak. Rossie knows if she tries to speak without thinking it over it'll lead to her giving in to her husband and she could ask him about the woman earlier but he would say, 'she's just a friend'. It'll make her overthink more because if that woman was just a friend, why was she that close to Jared? She was literally not in front of

Chapter XXIV.iv

After a couple of minutes of staring at his gorgeous wife, his gaze finally softened. He knows she has a soft heart for people who has sincerity in their eyes. Now he sees her looking around and the way she swallows nothing makes him chuckle softly. "Why don't we just have breakfast and you can hate me after?" "Whatever." She rolls her eyes at him, taking a piece of the sandwich. It takes him wondering why she hasn't asked him about Lara yet. Of course, there was no way he'd tell her everything about the woman but he planned not to lie. It favors him but he doesn't want it to keep bothering her head too. He had also noticed how Rossie and Veronica are on some kind of team now. How his sister
