Chapter 264 Only If She's Lucky

Author: Rosie Steppe
"Eric, you should change your name to Copperhead. That move was evil."

Luke hadn't gone inside Zayne's estate. With Jim involved, he knew that he'd get skinned alive when he got home if he stepped through that door. Still, all the things Eric had ordered delivered earlier were sourced by him.

"Evil? I almost had a heart attack with what he did. What I did was already merciful." Eric scoffed unapologetically.

Luke glanced at him. "It's rare that you're actually afraid of something."

He then added, "I've had people prepare another house. You and Rosalyn can move there."

"Probably won't be staying," Eric said before glancing at the sky. It was already getting bright.

Luke paused. "Why? Are you heading back?"

"This place is turning into a dog-eat-dog world. I don't want to get caught in the crossfire," Eric said vaguely.

Luke narrowed his eyes. "Eric, you're the most dangerous one here."

As their car drove off, inside the villa, Zayne looked at the snakes slithering everywhere. Th

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 280 She Moved on Without Missing a Beat

    No matter how formidable a woman was, she was ultimately vulnerable in front of a man who was drunk.Rosalyn gradually stopped struggling. Eric's hand traced her slender waist, and the familiar touch made them both shiver.When his lips brushed against her collarbone, Rosalyn could hear her own out-of-control heartbeat.Clothes were scattered across the floor, and the moonlight filtered through the sheer curtains, casting dappled shadows on the bed.Eric's movements alternated between gentle and rough, as if making sure she was there.Rosalyn bit her lip to hold back her breaths, but eventually, she surrendered completely.Afterwards, the room was filled only with the sound of their interlaced breathing.Rosalyn propped herself up. "Can I go now?"Suddenly, Eric wrapped his arms around her from behind and gripped her hard."Rosalyn." His voice carried an unprecedented vulnerability. "Why can't I get even the slightest response from you?"A warm drop of tear landed on her shou

    Wendy raised an eyebrow and turned around. She smiled. "What's the matter? Can't bear to see me go?""I was too impulsive before. I shouldn't have dragged you into it." Rosalyn released her grip. She sounded sincerely apologetic.Wendy suddenly laughed and reached out to pinch Rosalyn's cheek. "Sweetheart, you're so cute when you apologize."She leaned close and let the faint scent of perfume tease Rosalyn's senses. "But I never really cared about that stuff."Stepping back, she looked Rosalyn up and down. "Honestly, I like your fierceness." She gently tapped Rosalyn's chest with her fingertip. "Women should be like this. When it's time to be ruthless, never hold back."The rain poured harder, and Wendy opened a black umbrella. She suddenly spoke in a serious tone. "But I need to warn you. Once you leave the Hammond family, life won't be easy."Her gaze sharpened. "You're like a sheltered cub venturing out into the wild. Those who covet your position will show no mercy in tearing

    The cafe's glass windows were foggy. Rosalyn stared at her blurred reflection, and her fingers absently traced the rim of her coffee cup."Mind if I sit here?"Rosalyn looked up swiftly. Zac stood before her table. His black trench coat was dotted with fine raindrops.In his hands, he held a bouquet of gerbera daisies. Each petal glistened with tiny beads of water."I heard about your grandma," he said softly before putting the flowers down. His voice was gentle. "My condolences."Rosalyn tightened her grip on the cup. "Thanks, bro-in-law."She deliberately used a distant form of address, though her gaze couldn't help flicking to his bare ring finger where a wedding ring should have been.Zac seemed to notice, and without a word, slipped his hand back into his pocket. "The latte here—""I prefer Americanos," Rosalyn interrupted.Online, she had told him she liked lattes. Now, having decided to keep her distance, she wouldn't give him the slightest hint of doubt.Even as she s

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 277 Our Lives Are Separate

    At twelve past five in the morning, Rosalyn's divorce announcement went viral in Cromwell.There was no lawyer's notice or PR statement, just a single line on her social media account.[Effective immediately, Eric and I are no longer married. From now on, our lives are separate.]The PR department at Hammond Corporation instantly went into chaos. Phones from the media rang off the hook. Eric, meanwhile, saw the post just as he returned to Interstate One Residences.She hadn't even given him a chance to speak to her in person.The glow of the phone screen reflected off his suddenly darkened face. His knuckles turned pale from his grip, and a dangerous curve formed at the corner of his mouth.Inside, Rosalyn was putting the last piece of clothing into her wardrobe. When she heard the door opening, she paused for a moment but didn't look up."You really don't have anything to say?"Eric leaned against the doorframe. His suit jacket was casually draped over his shoulders. His tone

    Inside Platinum Club's VIP suite, the lighting was dim and moody. The wine shimmered with a somber red light in the glass.Eric lounged against the leather sofa with his legs crossed, and his fingers tapped idly against the rim of his glass. He looked relaxed, but there was a solemnness in his eyes.When Sean pushed the door open, this was exactly the scene he walked into.He raised a brow and sauntered over. "Well, well. What's this, Mr. Hammond? Dragging me out in the middle of the night to drink your sorrows away?"Eric didn't even look up. "If you don't feel like drinking, get out.""What's with the temper?" Sean wasn't offended. He poured himself a drink and dropped into the seat across from Eric. "Let me guess…"He narrowed his eyes. "You and Rosalyn had a fight?"Eric shot him a cold glance. "You've been talking too much lately."Sean grinned. "Knew it."He swirled his glass. "So even the mighty Eric gets dumped? Wife walks out and you don't even dare say it out loud, h

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 275 She Took What Mattered Most to Him

    Eric's fingers tightened around the steering wheel, and his knuckles turned white.He stared at Rosalyn standing on the steps. Dark, turbulent emotions surged in his eyes."Divorce?" He chuckled and pushed the car door open before walking toward her. "Mrs. Hammond, did you forget something?"Rosalyn didn't move. The wind lifted her hair, veiling half of her pale face.Calmly, she pulled a document from her bag and held it out to him. "Here's the divorce agreement. I don't want anything."Eric didn't take it. His gaze dropped to her scraped knuckles that were still bleeding a little, and his gaze darkened. "What happened to your hand?""It doesn't matter." She withdrew her hand. "If there's no issue, just sign it," she said nonchalantly."I promised Grandma that I'll take care of you," he said hoarsely. "The three months aren't up yet. I won't sign it."Rosalyn looked up at him with a blank expression. "Grandma is gone.""So you're in a hurry to cut ties?" Eric stepped closer.
