Like the inside of a rose, his wife's lips were as soft. How Jared wants to taste them again but he knows that she was engaged and he wouldn't do something she would be guilty of. So instead of claiming Rossie's lips, he decided to flick her forehead. Instantly, her eyes open, and her brows draw together as she shoots him a dirty look. He could only laugh at her red face. "That's not funny, Jared!" she sneered, shifting her attention to the food at the center table. The way she called his name made a corner of his curve up. His chest somehow felt warm. He barely hears her call him by his name nor ever called him her husband. "I never knew a woman can be this dangerous," he stated, taking his waffle and getting a bite. He didn't get a remark from Rossie but the way she freezes for a second caught his eye. She is affected. "By the way," Rossie uttered, there was a hint of unsureness in her voice and Jared could tell the next line, "are you somehow connected to the company I work fo

In the garden, Veronica and Rossie were having tea. Although Rossie doesn't usually drink any tea unless it's milk tea, she needed to force herself. It turns out, the Corporals are very busy people that they leave the house early in the morning. The elders are mostly in their rooms. There are just certain times that they leave the house and or go outside but that's occasionally. So now, Rossie was stuck with Veronica who is elegantly sipping on her cup of tea. "Jared and I used to run around here all the time. Catherine would always tell us not to pluck the flowers, especially her roses." Veronica stops to chuckle gracefully. "Jared loves the roses so one time he picked one." "And then what happened? Did your mother scold him?" Rossie asked. "No. He was poked by the thorn and he bled," Veronica answers, remembering that moment Jared just looked at the blood. He even smiled and said, when you want beautiful things, you ought to get hurt. "Catherine was worried about his wound more

Jared just got out of the building he hates the most. He got into his car and sighed heavily. It always ends like this whenever it comes to this matter. There was no way he could tell anyone about it for now. His family can be overdramatic when it comes to how he is feeling. Plus he is the heir, there's no time to show weakness. From his pocket, he took out his phone and dialed Levius. As always the man picks up fast on the second ring. "Greetings, young master." No matter how much Jared tells Levius to stop calling him that, the man would always addresses him to show respect. Although Levius can be too formal, Jared does treat him as his best friend most of the time. At first, they didn't really get along. Levius was like a robot, someone more protective than his guards but then, later on, he realizes how Levius was so loyal to him. From then on, Levius would know first about everything that's happening in his life. "Hey! I apologize that I'm calling again for another favor,"

Things have just gotten a little awkward for Jared and Rossie. During dinner and even after that, there was a gap between them both. It might not be obvious to others but Rossie could feel the tension between them.When it was bedtime, Jared even made his way to take one pillow and head to the couch. Now she stays in the huge bed alone surrounded by big pillows. She's used to sleeping alone. There was no problem with that, just not in a big bed like this.Rossie couldn't take it and she sits up, sheets rustling. She made her way to peek through the doorway to the couch. She sees the light from his Ipad reflected on his face. He is still awake, she thought. Should she go and make up with Jared? How was she supposed to do that?"I should've kept my mouth shut," she groans, going back to laying down. For an hour, she tossed and turn in the bed. They can't keep avoiding each other or it'll be damn crazy when they pretend in front of the family. Why was he so defensive when she just asked

After a good coffee, Ellisa decided to go shopping for herself. It was payday anyway so she wanted to reward herself with something to keep inspiring herself to do work. It's just a thing she does to keep herself motivated. It's been two days and Levius hasn't contacted her since the time they went for ramen. They ended nicely but the man never came back nor said anything. It shouldn't surprise her anymore, that's how most boys work. They make you feel special and they disappear the next day. It's a natural thing. They just didn't work out. As she was picking out dresses, Ellisa could hear some flirty voices on the next rack. She always hates it when couples get too loud and affectionate in public unless it was her with someone. It had her intrigued so she peeked. Her eyes widened, immediately hiding when she saw the man. When she realized shit, she wished she was just dreaming and peeked again. But this time, it confirmed it all. She took out her phone and took a picture of Jake w

After they choose some dresses, they had to bid Danish goodbye. They still have the makeover that Veronica and Catherine planned but first they had to meet with a party coordinator. It already took them hours just by picking dresses. "Too bad Danielle can't come, Lily has been wanting to meet him again," Veronica mentions. Lily? Who is she? It seems as though Veronica heard Rossie and she added, "Lily is a friend. She is the only daughter of a partnered company, the Adlers."Rossie nodded. "Jared and Lily used to be close together. She used to come around," Keille spoke, her eyes remaining on her phone. "They are still friends." "What happened?" She could not stop herself and asked. It seems to her that Veronica wanted her to ask that question."Don't know," Keille shrugged. "Jared never told you?""No," she muttered. "Oh, don't worry yourself, darling! Jared and Lily were just childhood friends if you look into it," Catherine assures her. Even though that was the case, she still

The whole time they were at Adler's mansion, Rossie was annoyed and it showed on her face exactly how she was feeling. She was so happy when Catherine finally said they were done discussing the pre-theme. Lily offered to stay for some afternoon tea but Veronica declined as they have other plans; the makeover. Rossie never had such a makeover, someone bathing you, giving a massage putting whatever oil to your body, and waxing. The waxing part hurts especially down in the middle. She had tears rolling down her temples. And after the body part, it came to their nails and their hair. Then down to their face where they had their brows tinted and their lashes extended. Since she has quite long thick lashes, she kept it as it was and just had it lifted. Ellisa always bring her to those sessions so she was not new to them. There was only one thing that had her excited to do all these things. Because she was pissed at Lily and Jared for not telling her about that other flower, she wants to m

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.
