Sebastian arrived at the office around six o’clock, when dusk had already settled outside and Desiree was preparing to leave for the day.

She was surprised when the VIP lift opened and revealed the tall figure standing inside.

“Oh, Mr Edward Sterling. I thought you weren’t coming into the office today.”

Sebastian stepped out of the lift and walked past her.

“Follow me to my office, Desiree. There’s something I want to ask you.”

Desiree quickly ran through the day’s work in her mind. Every report

  • Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You   Chapter 149 : Is that really too much to ask?

    “Hii—!” Rosie gave a startled shriek when two large, warm hands suddenly settled on her shoulders.“Get on the bed, Rosie. I’m going to brush my teeth first,” Sebastian said.He gave a cheerful little whistle as he disappeared into the bathroom, leaving Rosie sitting nervously on the edge of the bed.Sebastian is being so strange tonight.Usually, he would simply ask Rosie to prepare dinner if she hadn’t already done so, eat in silence, and retreat to his room. Sometimes he would eat whatever she had prepared, even if it had gone cold, without saying a word about it the following morning.But tonight had been completely different.He had called her to him, wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. At first, Rosie had assumed he was in the mood for that.Yet he hadn’t.Instead, he had asked to kiss her.Then he’d kissed her gently before looking at her with a gaze she had never seen from him before.A gaze that seemed almost unbearably tender.A gaze that belonge

  • Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You   Chapter 148 : But if I take these, you have to sleep with me tonight.

    When Sebastian emerged from his bedroom, wearing nothing but his boxer shorts, he found Rosie already setting the chicken noodle soup on the table.“Sebastian, eat it while it’s still warm,” she said, placing the medication beside the bowl. “And here’s the cold medicine and paracetamol for your fever. Don’t forget to rest afterwards, all right?”“I’ll go downstairs. Good night—”“Stay here, Big Sis…”Rosie paused.“Eh? Why? Do you need something else?”Sebastian pouted.If he were being honest with himself, he simply wanted all the attention Rosie had given him when he was ill. It reminded him of being a child—the days when her presence alone had been enough to make everything feel better.Rosie sighed when she realised he was in the mood to be spoiled.She had heard that grown men could become particularly clingy when they were ill, so perhaps this was simply Sebastian’s way of asking her to stay with him for the rest of the night.But isn’t that usually a wife’s job—or at least a gi

  • Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You   Chapter 147 : My angel…

    Sebastian realised that Rosie hadn't taken his compliment seriously.That, more than anything, made him want to prove it to her.He meant every word.To Sebastian, Rosie genuinely was the most beautiful woman in the world. He had met countless women throughout his life, women who were younger, wealthier and perhaps considered more conventionally beautiful.None of them had ever come close to Rosie.Not once.Even after ten years, even now that she was thirty-five, she still occupied that singular place in his heart.And that settled it.He was in love with her.Or at least, he believed he was.Then Shania's words came back to him.“I think your ‘Big Sis Rosie’ is a groomer who manipulated you into falling in love with her when you were a child. That's why you're hopelessly in love with her now. Everything is part of her manipulation tactic because she's a paedophile.”Sebastian's jaw tightened.He hated the way Shania had judged Rosie without knowing her. How dare she reduce the woman

  • Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You   Chapter 146 : Stay like this for a moment.

    Sebastian drove straight to his apartment and hurried up to the penthouse on the top floor. He felt restless, almost desperate to see Big Sis Rosie again. He needed to know whether Shania's words had planted a genuine doubt in his mind—or whether his feelings for Rosie were exactly what he'd always believed them to be.He unlocked the door with his fingerprint and pushed it open.“Rosie!”His voice echoed through the now spotless but strangely empty penthouse.Sebastian checked the time.Half past ten.“Damn…” he muttered. “Has she gone to bed already? It’s not even that late.”He walked into the kitchen, only to find the dining table empty.Of course there was no dinner waiting.He was the one who had told Rosie he would eat out, so she had no reason to prepare anything for him.And yet, somehow, he still felt rather put out by it.The absence of Rosie—and the absence of her dinner—had managed to sour his mood completely.Usually, he would come home to find her sitting on the sofa, w

  • Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You   Chapter 145 : But I suppose... I’m still in love with him.

    Sebastian was still seething. He knew that if he stayed much longer, he would end up destroying everything in the room."I'm leaving. I don't want to stay here much longer, or I might actually snap your neck, you bitch!" he snarled.He strode towards the door.Shania remained seated, watching him in silence. Then, just before he could leave, she spoke."We're not finished with the session, Mr Sebastian Edward Sterling."Sebastian stopped dead.Slowly, he looked over his shoulder.His eyes burned with such fury that, for a fleeting moment, Shania could have sworn he was genuinely considering turning around and attacking her."Are you fucking mad?" Sebastian sneered. "You seriously expect me to carry on with this rubbish? I came here for help, and what I got was a condescending bitch who can't even conduct herself professionally.""Fine. You can end today's session." Shania's voice remained remarkably calm. "But think about what I've said when you get home."Sebastian's jaw tightened."

    Rosie read Sebastian's message again before a quiet giggle escaped her.“He must be meeting that woman again,” she murmured. “Goodness, he sounds like a teenage boy trying to impress his first love.”Izzie sat nearby, watching her mother with puzzled curiosity.“Mommy, did you see something funny?”“Ah—no, darling.” Rosie quickly tucked her phone away. “I was just happy for your Uncle Sebastian.”“Happy?”“Mm-hm. He’s looking for an aunt.”“Aunt?”Izzie’s eyes widened.The colour seemed to drain from her face.She shook her head vigorously.“Mommy, don’t let Uncle get an aunt! Aunts are bad! They’re horrible!”Rosie’s smile vanished.She hurried over to her daughter and pulled her into a warm embrace.“It’s all right, darling. It’s all right.”She’d forgotten.Izzie hadn’t merely disliked the women in the Sterling family. She was frightened of them.One of Rosie’s aunts had once been involved in her kidnapping, and the other women at Sterling family gatherings had hardly made matters

    Her fingers trembled as she dialled his number.He picked up almost immediately.“Yes?”“Where is my daughter?” Rosie demanded.A soft chuckle. “You mean our daughter?”Her jaw tightened. “Don’t play games with me, Charles.”“She’s fine,” he said casually. “We’re at the toy store. She’s picking wha

    Rosie sat at the dining table, the candlelight flickering softly against untouched plates. The roasted chicken—Isabella’s favourite—had long since gone cold.She glanced at the clock.Nine o’clock.Charles Sterling was not home.He had promised. He had promised their daughter he would return before

    Rosie scarcely realised she had begun to run until the corridor stretched before her like something endless, her heels striking sharply against the marble as though urging her forward. Tears blurred her vision, spilling freely now, unchecked and unwelcome.This family… they’re all monsters.The tho

    Rosie reacted at once, catching hold of her daughter’s arm and gently but firmly pulling her aside.“I’m so sorry, Sebastian,” she said quickly. “P–Please don’t be upset with Izzie. She’s only a child, I—”“Tch. It’s fine,” he cut in, dismissive. “Just make me the same smoothie. And from now on, yo
