Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 144 : That’s why you’re so hopelessly attached to her now.
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
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 143 : Priority, Sebastian. Priority.
Desiree helped Rosie through the door, holding it open so she could carry the tray of food into Sebastian’s office.When Rosie stepped inside, she found Sebastian completely absorbed in his phone. He hadn't even noticed her arrival. A faint smile tugged at his lips as he typed, making him look less like the intimidating businessman everyone knew and more like a teenage boy secretly messaging his crush.Rosie paused.Ah, so this must be the woman from last night.She couldn't help feeling quietly pleased for him.She certainly has a sharp tongue, but if she's his type, then I suppose I ought to support him somehow.She decided not to ask any questions.She didn't want Sebastian accusing her of being nosy again.Perhaps this is finally the person who can take the place of the woman he's always carried in his heart.Rosie genuinely wanted that for him.There was no point clinging to the past forever. Perhaps the woman Sebastian had once loved had moved on with her life by now.Rosie had
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 142 : And what would you have done if he had?
Sebastian remained fixed on the computer screen.His hands curled into fists as he fought the urge to put them through something—preferably the person responsible.After the security guards finally separated Rosie and the woman, the footage continued.The four boys immediately ran behind Rosie.They clung to her, peering nervously at their mother from behind her back.Sebastian's brow furrowed.That wasn't normal.Children might hide behind an adult during an argument, but the way those boys recoiled from their own mother was deeply unsettling.Rosie seemed to notice it too.Rather than leave them there, she gently encouraged the boys to return to their mother.Only after she was certain they were safe did Rosie walk away.The footage ended.The screen faded to black.Sebastian stared at his own reflection.His normally immaculate hair had fallen into disarray, and the veins at his temples stood out against his skin.He looked furious.And, somehow, he'd managed not to put his fist thr
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 141 : The woman who attacked Rosie is the one accompanied by four young boys.
"My Rosie?"Desiree arched an eyebrow, thoroughly entertained by the slip.Sebastian froze for a fraction of a second.Only then did he realise what he'd actually said."I misspoke," he said quickly. "I was about to say Rosie and my sister-in-law at the same time. The words just... came out together.""Oh?"Desiree’s grin widened mischievously."Is that so?"She gave an exaggerated nod."Fair enough, I suppose."The playful lilt in her voice only made Sebastian feel more flustered.Heat crept across his cheeks.He cleared his throat, determined to steer the conversation back where it belonged."I’m not paying you to analyse my choice of words, Desiree."His tone regained its usual authority."Just tell me who attacked her."His expression darkened."I want to ruin that bitch's life for what she did to my—"He caught himself."...Rosie’s face."The teasing atmosphere vanished.Desiree’s smile slowly faded.She could tell him.She should tell him.The attacker was almost certainly someo
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 140 : Who’s the bitch who attacked my Rosie?
The truth is... I know I have no value to my own family. Not to the mother who raised me. My value has always depended on the man I married, Rosie thought.Even Mum keeps telling me I should be more obedient. That I should try harder to be a good wife for that bastard Charles.But is it so wrong to keep hoping? she wondered.I only wanted to be loved. How am I supposed to live knowing even my own mother doesn't love me any more...?Desiree felt Rosie's body begin to tremble in her arms.Alarmed, she rubbed gentle circles across her back."Gurl... what's wrong?""N-Nothing..." Rosie whispered.But her voice shook, and tears were already gathering in her eyes.Desiree eased back just enough to look at her properly.Her heart clenched.A tear escaped despite Rosie's obvious effort to hold it back.Rosie hurriedly brushed it away and forced a smile."Sorry... I got a little emotional.""Rosie..."Desiree's chest tightened.She wanted to ask more—to understand what had happened between Ros
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 139 : Do I tell Mr Edward Sterling?
They let out long, relieved breaths in unison, the tension easing now that their little performance was over.Desmond turned to his younger sister with a puzzled look."What the hell was all that about?" he asked. "Why did you need that recording? I thought your boss was a single fuckboy who couldn't keep a relationship going for more than a week."He raised an eyebrow."And now, apparently, he's married?"Desiree had always kept her brothers entertained with stories from work, and most of them involved complaining about Sebastian Edward Sterling's notorious reputation with women.So receiving a frantic call asking him to pose as the solicitor handling Sebastian's wife's case had come as quite a surprise."Well, this is about Rosie," Desiree explained. "She was attacked in that supermarket, and I'm trying to find whoever did it.""Rosie..." Desmond's expression softened in recognition. "You mean the beautiful woman from that selfie you showed us?""Yeah." Desiree nodded. "She's my bes
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 22 : There are… revisions to be made.
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
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 3 : “Those heels look dangerous.”
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
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 2 : “Reminds me of a certain crazy night in my car back in college—do you?”
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
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 1 : “I want a divorce. Sign the papers!”
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
