All Chapters of Married by a Couple of Shots: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

"Are you sure you're not coming with us?" Jared asked Rossie for the nth time. They were already at the airport, their private plane waiting for them.Rossie caressed his face, a comforting smile on her face yet he was not buying it. He really wants her to come with him but he knows he can't force her to."You have to go. It's only for what? Two weeks or a month? You've been away for three months too," Rossie tells Jared. He was keeping his puppy eyes and pouted lips, looking at her with a baby face."That was hard enough!" he whines. "I'll go back as soon as possible. Then I want us to live together.""Hmm..." she twitched her mouth to one side, "maybe... maybe not."Jared just rolled his eyes. He knew any minute now, Levius would drag him if he doesn't let go of his wife and so he broke from embracing her, moving away. He remembers the last time they were in the airport together. The words he said, he hasn't done half of it and he will soon. It's just, he forgets every time and she

In her bed, Rossie stares at her ceiling, a frown on her forehead. She knows she is supposed to be sleeping for her shift later but what happened earlier kept flashing back in her mind. It's been a while since she last saw his sincere gaze like that. It's like the old Jake whom she loved so much came back. She couldn't even guess if it was one of his strategies to take her back. It didn't look like it earlier. "Oh, come on, Rossie!" She suddenly slaps herself. "You're damn married! Jake is a fucking asshole!"Everything is finally in its place! She has a loving-supportive husband who puts her first and Jared never shouts at her! Their love story might have happened too fast but who cares? She loves him and he loves her, it's all that matters. It should be.Before her alarm could, Rossie already woke up, groaning and stretching. Then she sits up, grabbed her phone on her side table, and started scrolling through Ellisa's spammed texts. Finally, at the bottom, she sees her husband's te

Rossie just got off the car and her eyes were already across the street where Jake is always parked. When her chauffeur drove away, she walk towards him and stopped when she was in front, arms crossed on her chest. It has been a week and he was still there. She thought he'd get tired and finally call it quits but here he was."Surprise you came up to me," he spoke. "Aren't you going to get in trouble standing so close?""I will but I'd like to ask you to leave," she coldly said. "Your presence has been very annoying and if Jared sees you here, it will sure start a fight between you.""I just wanted to see you.""I don't want to see you."He looks at her with hurt eyes, looks away, and sighed heavily. "I know you won't believe it but I changed, Rossie.""Oh, please!" She rolls her eyes at him. "I'm married, Jake. There's no way I am divorcing Jared for you. I don't love you anymore.""You're right," he agrees, nodding his head slowly. "I don't want to get in the way of your relationshi

In the cemetery, Ellisa and Levius stood in front of a tombstone, flowers in her hand. She insisted on bringing flowers for Levius' parents, for them to at least know how good of a person she is and that she'll take care of their son. Not that it would matter to the dead but it was traditional to bring flowers when you visit a cemetery too.She lays it in between both granite headstones and fell silent. Glancing at Levius, he was just staring at his parent's grave, like he was communicating with them in his head. Creepy but when you see his sincere gaze, you know he misses them."I'm sure they're proud of you," she spoke. Levius smiled and shifted his gaze to her. "They wouldn't recognize me. I was a kid with dirty mud on his hands all the time." "Oh, come on! Whose parents wouldn't recognize their child? I bet they were looking after you from above." "I'm sure they are," he agreed. "And I bet they're proud of me to have a woman like you by my side, visiting them right now. They di

"I'm sorry that I called you in the middle of the night for this," Rossie apologized. "It's not a problem. I"m glad you called me," Jake said. After they hung up on the phone, Jake was quick to arrive at her place. And so now, they were on their way to her workplace. It is a bit awkward because the last time they spoke was when she asked him why he cheated on her. Although it was just a day ago, she still feels it fresh in her mind and yes, Ellisa told her to avoid Jake but she can't help herself. She was making a mistake again and she just can't stop it."I thought you wouldn't talk to me anymore," Jake spoke, catching her attention. "I was scared we would be strangers.""How could we? I think we deserve some kind of closure after all the years we've been together.""Closure? I see.""There's no way we can go back and we can't be strangers either." Here it goes again, her eyes getting flooded by water. "You are a bit too late to change, Jake. I am married and I love someone else n
