Chapter 74 Unseemly Scandal

Author: Rosie Steppe
When Sean opened the door to the private room in Platinum Club, Eric was lounging on the couch, twirling a cigar between his fingers, clearly bored.

"It's barely been a couple of days! Slacking on the honeymoon, are we?" Sean joked as he poured a glass of beer.

Eric lifted his weary eyes toward Sean, who looked back at him in reflex. "What's that look for? Do you like my shirt? Well, I can take it off—"

Eric cut him short halfway, "Where's your cousin?"

Sean smiled. "I have many cousins. Which one are you asking about?"

Plop!

The beer Sean just poured splattered as Eric's cigar landed straight on it, splashing a drop into Sean's eyes.

He swore even as he quickly grabbed a towel and wiped it. "Are you a donkey, stomping your hooves the moment you feel upset?!"

"Well, why would you upset me with your nonsense?" Eric asked quietly.

Sean actually sensed that Eric was grouchy the moment he entered, so he tried to joke around, but it didn't seem to work.

Shrugging, he said, "Her

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 186 Just Don't Mess With Him

    Sean was stunned when he saw Eric.Sean considered himself a decent man, but standing next to Eric, he automatically felt like discounted clearance goods at the supermarket.Eric's arm was injured, but it didn't diminish his aura one bit. In fact, the jacket he should have been wearing had to be draped over his shoulders, which somehow made him look even more like a classic mafia boss.One word summed him up—perfect. He was perfectly handsome, perfectly commanding, and perfectly attractive."Why aren't you in the hospital? How did you end up here?" Sean asked. He was both admiring Eric and feeling worried.Staying in the hospital was something Eric did only for his wife. If she wasn't around, he acted."Don't want to see me, huh?" Eric said before dropping onto the sofa. He crossed his legs in a casual way."No, I'd love it if you stayed in my line of sight 24/7," Sean replied before joining him on the sofa. "Since you showed up injured, this must be serious. Spill it."Sean wa

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 185 She's Truly Waking Up

    Rosalyn sat beside Laura's hospital bed for a full hour, yet she hadn't said a single word today.She had spent so long trying to find anything that might stir Laura awake. Now that she finally had something to say, the words refused to come out.Peter once told her that Laura's refusal to wake up was tied to her own consciousness. Rosalyn finally understood what he meant.Those unbearable memories weighed on her. She was afraid and rejected the thought of waking up. Staying asleep was easier than facing it.But if she kept sleeping, the man who hurt her would never face the consequences of his actions. He would only become bolder.Just thinking about the person Fiona named made Rosalyn's entire body turn cold.Before she knew who it was, she never would have imagined it was him. After she learned the truth, she looked back and realized there had always been signs. She had just been too young and too naive. She was fooled by the polished exterior of a monster."Did he trick you?

    Fiona was discharged, but she hadn't fully recovered yet.She said she would recover better at home than lying around in a hospital bed. Those were her exact words.Rosalyn didn't argue. She arranged a car to take Fiona home and sent the caregiver with her."Thank you," Fiona said politely."You almost didn't get the chance to thank me," Rosalyn replied. She then told Fiona about her own car accident.Fiona was stunned. She immediately understood what Rosalyn was implying. "You want to find out who that man is?"Rosalyn had already asked Ken. The audio on the card had originally been a video, but someone had deliberately damaged it. Ken hired someone to repair it, yet the erased footage couldn't be restored, so he still had no idea who the man was.It seemed like Fiona was the only one who knew.Rosalyn played the audio Ken gave her. Fiona's expression darkened in an instant, and she cursed under her breath, "That jerk.""Coach, he's desperate now. He's terrified everything wi

    There was no way Rosalyn could hide this from Eric.Rosalyn's hand trembled while she held her phone. "Eric, please don't ask. Not yet."She was terrified of triggering him in his condition. She didn't want him to hear the recording, but she still needed his help if she wanted justice for Laura.He was injured, and she feared that once he learned the truth, he wouldn't be able to handle it.Eric had spent his youth protecting Laura, and he was willing to sacrifice even his marriage for revenge. That kind of devotion said everything.Even if Eric treated Rosalyn differently now, she understood Laura was irreplaceable to him."Is it about me?" Eric still asked.Rosalyn bit down on her lip. Eric lifted her face with his hand, and his thumb brushed against her jaw. "So many things going wrong one after another means whoever is behind this is desperate. They want to end everything quickly. They missed their chance with you this time, but that doesn't mean they won't try again. Do you

    "Please don't record."You can do whatever you want with me. Just don't record it. I'm begging you—"Rosalyn hadn't even seen anything yet when a familiar voice she hadn't heard in seven years was played out loud.It was Laura, and she was crying.She sounded so fragile while she begged.Rosalyn froze. It took several seconds before she finally looked at her phone. The screen was pitch black. She shook it, thinking the phone had glitched, but the screen stayed dark.No.It wasn't the screen.The video had no footage at all.There was only the sound of Laura sobbing.Later, there was also a man's rough breathing and those unmistakable, awful sounds.A chill went down Rosalyn's spine. She didn't even know how she managed to finish listening.It was only forty-two seconds long, but it stopped her blood cold.Who was the man, and why was he forcing himself on Laura?Back then, when she and Laura were inseparable, how had she not noticed anything? How had she missed that Laura

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 181 Meeting At Night

    Rosalyn received Ken's message in the middle of the night. The car accident hadn't taken her life, but everything that had happened recently, plus the shock of the crash, had wrecked her sleep again.Ken had only sent three words.[Can we meet?]Rosalyn replied instantly.[Anytime. Where are you?][???][I'm at the hospital.][It's two in the morning.]He wasn't wrong. It was two in the morning, the quietest hour of the night. Even if someone was spying or following her, this was the one time people would let down their guard.Rosalyn replied.[I'll wait for you.][Alright then.]When she put her phone away, she glanced at Eric. He was asleep, but his eyebrows were furrowed. It was probably due to the pain.Rosalyn hurt too, just not anywhere people could see.She went downstairs thirty minutes later. Ken was sitting in his car with a cap pulled low. He wasn't as high-profile as before, and there was a tired look on his face she had never seen before.She hadn't contacte
