Rosie stood outside the CEO's office, staring at the closed door as she tried to summon enough courage to face Sebastian again.

This is torture... she thought miserably. I don't want to argue with him. I don't want to get hurt...

Desiree noticed her homegirl standing there with a strained expression. She swivelled her chair to face her.

"What’s wrong, gurl?"

"Ah—Desiree, it’s... nothing."

"Oh, come on. Do we really need to do this again?" Desiree rolled her eyes. "Just tell me what’s wrong, gur

  • Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You   Chapter 310 : Is that how you show your gratitude? Just a thank you?

    Sebastian watched Desiree's retreating figure, still somewhat surprised by her reaction to the situation. She had seemed almost personally offended by what Shailene had done, as though she had some unresolved grievance against the woman.There must be something about Desiree that I don't know, he thought. Well, as long as she gets the job done, I have nothing to worry about. She's more than capable of handling it.With that, Sebastian returned to his work.He continued working without interruption until his phone suddenly rang. His brows knitted together, but he kept his eyes on the laptop as he answered without checking the caller ID.“Hello?”“Ah, um... Sebastian? It's me...”He paused.The moment he heard the sweet voice of the woman he loved, his attention shifted entirely from his work. Rosie must have been calling from the landline downstairs.He immediately abandoned his laptop and cleared his throat, making an effort to sound gentler.“Yes? What is it... Rosie?”He had nearly

  • Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You   Chapter 309 : Consider it done, Sir.

    # Chapter 125 (Part 1/5)Desiree was still sitting on the sofa, staring blankly into space.Even after all this time, she remained dazed. She had genuinely believed her friendship with Rosie was over. After all, there was no way she could support someone who cheated on their partner. No matter how close they were, that was a line she simply couldn't bring herself to cross.*Ah, this is worse than being dumped by my ex,* Desiree thought miserably. *At least I could find another man to replace him. But you can't just find another best friend. It's not easy to meet someone you genuinely connect with.**Rosie, why would you do this to yourself? If Sebastian wasn't satisfying you, you should have told him. End the relationship first, then find someone else. I would still have supported you. Hell, I might even have resigned so Sebastian couldn't use me as a hostage to lure you back.**But you're cheating on him. That makes you no better than Charles...*Lost in her thoughts, Desiree barely

  • Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You   Chapter 308 : But my heart only beats for her,

    Rosie made her way to the kitchen in silence. She slowed her steps as she approached the staircase, knowing she needed a moment to gather herself before facing her daughter.Her cheeks were still burning. She could only imagine how red her face must have been.“God, I can't believe I actually did that...” she murmured, pressing a hand to her cheek.She had never felt such an overwhelming urge to take control of Sebastian, let alone dominate anyone. It was entirely out of character for her. She had always been a modest, rather shy woman, someone who would sooner keep her thoughts to herself than risk provoking another beating.But seeing Sebastian so consumed by anger, refusing to listen to a word she said, had made her realise that she needed to reassure him of her feelings. And she had done so in the boldest way she could possibly imagine.“Well... at least he won't question my loyalty to him any more,” she whispered. Then, after a brief pause, another thought crept into her mind. “B

  • Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You   Chapter 307 : Is this what it feels like to be hopelessly in love?

    Rosie remained silent for a moment, keeping her gaze fixed on Sebastian as he repeatedly avoided her eyes.His words had struck a nerve, more deeply than she cared to admit. But she had no desire to turn their disagreement into another full-blown argument. She was exhausted, both emotionally and physically.“Yes, I don't know how you feel, Sebastian,” she began quietly. “Becoming a multi-millionaire entrepreneur at such a young age must have required an enormous amount of sacrifice and struggle. It's something I'll probably never experience in my lifetime, and I'll never deny how much you've achieved.”She paused, drawing a steady breath.“But you don't know everything about my suffering, either. My kindness wasn't what made me stay with Charles. It was far more complicated than that. So perhaps we should stop judging one another. We've both had different struggles, and neither of us can fully understand what the other has been through.”Damn it! Sebastian cursed inwardly.He was grow

  • Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You   Chapter 306 : Regina isn’t our enemy, Sebastian.

    Rosie and Sebastian stood watching the lift descend towards the ground floor, but their expressions couldn't have been more different.Rosie looked utterly defeated. Grief and disappointment weighed heavily upon her face as she stared at the closing doors.Sebastian, on the other hand, looked almost satisfied. The old bitch was finally out of Rosie's life. As far as he was concerned, that was one less threat to the little family he was trying so desperately to protect.Now he simply had to take extra precautions to ensure nothing like this happened again.Perhaps I should restrict her phone access, too. Make certain she can't contact anyone who might be a threat to us.He knew how that sounded. Like a controlling bastard.Perhaps that was exactly what he was becoming.But, to Sebastian, Rosie's and Izzie's safety came first. He didn't want either of them hurt, and he was prepared to do whatever it took to protect them from potential danger.He lowered his head and looked at Rosie, who

  • Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You   Chapter 305 : Did I ever say that?

    Regina stared at Sebastian, whose fury was still written plainly across his face, and rolled her eyes with deliberate sarcasm.“You look like an ape, Sebastian. Why can't you behave like a civilised human being?”“R—Regina, s—stop talking!” Rosie stammered.She couldn't understand why Regina had suddenly reverted to her old, condescending ways, mocking Sebastian at every opportunity. Only moments ago, the woman had seemed genuinely eager to reconnect with her second son. Rosie could have sworn she had meant every word of their conversation and wanted to become part of their little family.Yet now she was behaving as though none of it had ever happened.Regina turned her gaze towards Rosie and scoffed.“I honestly don't understand how you can stand living with an ape like him. He doesn't behave like a human being. He's more like an animal.” She shrugged dismissively. “Then again, I suppose a trashy woman belongs with a trashy man. The two of you suit each other perfectly.”“Regina!”Ro

  • 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

  • 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

    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 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
