Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 241 : Get a grip.
Rosie returned to her room, closed the door carefully behind her, and threw herself onto the bed.She felt like a teenage girl who had just received a confession from the boy she'd been secretly crushing on.Burying her face in her pillow, she let out a muffled scream.Then she rolled from one side of the bed to the other, struggling to contain her excitement. Unfortunately, the sharp pain in her injured hand soon reminded her not to get carried away.With a reluctant sigh, Rosie settled onto her back and stared at the ceiling.Her mind continued replaying Sebastian's words over and over again, like a broken record.You’ll always be my damsel until I marry you.Rosie pressed her left palm against her chest, feeling her heart race beneath it."Ah, why am I getting so excited over a few cheesy words? You’re thirty-five, Rosie. Get a grip!"She scolded herself, but it was no use.Sebastian's declaration had come so unexpectedly that it had swept her off her feet. Even now, she couldn't g
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 240 : Love could wait.
Sebastian opened his mouth to argue, but the words died on his tongue.As much as he wanted to shoulder the blame for everything that had happened to Rosie, he had to admit she was right. Nobody could have predicted how far Charles would fall. It was only in recent years that his eldest brother had begun to resemble their father, Robert Sterling, in ways that Sebastian had once thought impossible.And now, Rosie was the one paying the price.“I know you’ve been working yourself to the bone lately,” Rosie continued, studying his face. “You must have spent countless sleepless nights trying to find the resources to fight him, haven’t you?”Sebastian nodded.He had been working tirelessly to dismantle his eldest brother's empire, chipping away at the foundations the Sterling family had spent decades building. Every decision had required careful consideration, every move calculated to weaken Charles without exposing his own vulnerabilities.It was exhausting, but he couldn’t afford to stop

Rosie closed the door behind her and released a deep, relieved breath.She had been nervous about telling Izzie about her bruises, and the conversation had left her feeling rather sad. Still, she was grateful that her daughter hadn't asked about her daddy.Not yet, anyway.Rosie suspected the question was already lingering in Izzie's mind. Sooner or later, the little girl would want to know why Charles had hurt her mummy so many times.But as long as Izzie didn't ask, Rosie didn't have to explain.I hope she won't bring it up anytime soon. I want her to grow up a little more before she has to learn the painful truth...After making sure her daughter was fast asleep, Rosie headed upstairs to the penthouse.She found Sebastian sitting on the sofa with his laptop balanced on his knees, apparently engrossed in another stack of documents. He seemed to have been working for hours, and Rosie couldn't help noticing how exhausted he looked.Carrying a cup of hot herbal tea in her left hand, sh

In the end, Sebastian emerged from the kitchen carrying a large plate of what looked like fried rice. The aroma, however, was so rich and inviting that both Rosie and Izzie immediately felt their stomachs rumble.Sebastian placed the plate in the middle of the dining table and announced proudly, "This is Spanish paella. I prefer making it with seafood, but we haven't got any in the fridge, so chicken will have to do."He returned to the kitchen to fetch three plates, which he distributed among his little family before bringing out three glasses of water.Rosie stared at the delicious-looking paella, then turned to Sebastian with a questioning look.Since when had he learnt to cook something as complicated as this?Sebastian caught her expression and grinned."Try it first. See if you like it."He scooped a generous helping of paella onto Rosie’s plate, then waited expectantly for her to take the first bite.Rosie picked up her spoon with her left hand and carefully scooped up some ric
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 237 : Uncle’s cooking smells really yummy!
Sebastian watched his niece struggle to decide what to write and draw on Rosie's cast. She looked utterly absorbed in the task, her little face scrunched up in concentration.He couldn't help feeling a sudden urge to join in.Perhaps it was the little boy in him, the part that had never entirely grown up and still longed for moments of uncomplicated happiness. Or perhaps he simply wanted to be part of this small, precious slice of family life.Whatever the reason, Sebastian eventually moved closer and sat down beside Rosie.He held out his hand."Give me the black marker."Izzie looked up at him, puzzled. "What for, Uncle?""I want to write something on Mummy's cast, too."However, Izzie wasn't about to hand over the marker without a fight. She clutched it tightly and took a cautious step backwards."Uncle, you have to promise you'll write something nice! I don't want you putting horrible words on Mummy's cast!"Sebastian clicked his tongue."Tch. I'm not going to write anything horri

“Sebastian?”“No, everything isn’t all right,” Sebastian replied.He knew he should have told Rosie that everything was fine, that he had everything under control. It would have been the sensible thing to say.But he couldn’t bring himself to hide his vulnerability from her.He wanted Rosie to know how worried he was. More than that, he wanted her to understand how deeply he regretted not realising the full extent of her suffering at Charles’s hands over the past ten years.The thought alone was enough to leave him struggling to contain his emotions.Rosie had no idea what was going through his mind, but she could sense that something was troubling him. Although she didn't understand the reason for his distress, she did her best to comfort him. It was the least she could do for someone who seemed so terribly upset.“You can tell me if something’s bothering you,” Rosie murmured. “I might not know what’s wrong, but I can listen. Is it something to do with work?”“No, it’s not work.” Seb
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

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
