Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 272 : Just block her, Rosie,
Rosie was so stunned by Regina’s apology that, for a moment, she wondered whether she was dreaming.Did she really just apologise to me?She pulled the phone away from her ear and checked the caller ID, as though she needed to reassure herself that she was speaking to the same Regina Sterling who had repeatedly called her ungrateful without ever bothering to hear her side of the story.It was definitely Regina.What happened to her? Why has she suddenly changed? Is this some sort of trap?Suspicion crowded Rosie's mind. She couldn't quite bring herself to trust the sudden change in her mother-in-law's attitude. After years of being dismissed and belittled, she had learnt that a few kind words weren't necessarily a sign that someone had changed for the better.She remained guarded as Regina continued the conversation.“You've never told me about this before, but…” Regina hesitated, choosing her words carefully. “I know Charles has abused you terribly. What exactly did he do to you, Ros
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 271 : What made you decide to divorce Charles?
“Oh, thank goodness! You’ve finally answered!”The moment Rosie heard Regina’s voice, her entire body tensed.She knew she had done nothing wrong and had no reason to feel guilty in front of her mother-in-law. Yet the mere thought of that formidable woman was enough to make her nervous. Years of being looked down upon had taught Rosie to approach Regina with caution, never quite knowing when a conversation might turn unpleasant.“Rosie? Are you still there?” Regina asked.Rosie swallowed, trying to steady herself. She sat on the edge of the bed, clutching her phone a little tighter as she brought it closer to her ear.“H-hello.”On the other end of the line, Regina released a breath she hadn't realised she'd been holding. The relief was almost overwhelming. For a moment, she'd genuinely feared that Rosie had blocked her number, just as she'd blocked Charles and the rest of her family.Does she still think there's something worth saving between us? Or has she simply forgotten I exist?
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 270 : Hello?
His gaze settled on her face, searching her eyes as though he wanted to understand what lay beneath her nervous declarations. He had no wish to make her feel obliged to do anything simply because she believed she owed him something. Whatever happened between them had to be something she wanted, freely and wholeheartedly.He wasn't interested in duty.He wanted her willingness, her trust, and the love they were slowly learning to share.When he was satisfied that her eagerness was genuine, a small smile tugged at his lips.“Come and sit on the bed, then.”Rosie obeyed, settling on the edge of the mattress whilst Sebastian went to close and lock the bedroom door. Once he returned, his attention shifted to her injured hand.“Can you use your left hand now?”Rosie raised it and carefully curled her fingers into a fist.“My hand's better. I can move it without any trouble.”“Good.” He examined her expression for another moment. “But tell me if anything hurts, all right? I don't want you ma

Regina Sterling.Sebastian’s brows furrowed as he stared at the name on Rosie’s phone. He had no idea what his useless mother wanted with Rosie, but whatever her reasons, he doubted the call would bring anything good.He waited until the ringing stopped before picking up the phone and unlocking it.To his surprise, Rosie hadn’t set a passcode.Could Charles have forbidden her from putting a password on her phone? Just so he could check it whenever he pleased?Sebastian’s jaw tightened.Bloody control freak.He opened the call log to see who had been trying to reach Rosie and immediately noticed at least ten missed calls from Regina that evening.He stared at the screen in disbelief before shaking his head.“That old hag must be planning to insult Rosie,” he muttered. “Probably wants to intimidate her for whatever ridiculous reason she's come up with.”His expression darkened as years of resentment resurfaced.“She’s had ten bloody years to protect Rosie from Charles’s abuse, but did

One kiss should have been enough. A quick peck, nothing more.Except Sebastian wasn’t satisfied.He kissed her again, then a third time, each lingering a little longer than the last. Before Rosie could tease him about it, he slipped an arm around her back and drew her closer, deepening the kiss until neither of them seemed inclined to pull away.A soft, muffled moan escaped Rosie as she closed her eyes, losing herself in the warmth of his lips. For a little while, there was nothing beyond the two of them and the quiet intimacy they shared.Then Rosie began to run out of breath.“Sebastian—mmh… t-too much…” She gave a small, breathless protest, trying to draw back enough to breathe. “Mmfh!”Sebastian finally lifted his head, allowing their lips to part. His gaze lingered on her flushed face as she struggled to catch her breath, her chest rising and falling beneath her pyjama top.A low chuckle escaped him as he brushed his lips together, looking altogether too pleased with himself.“Co
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 267 : Your presence is enough to make me happy,
Beside him, Rosie let out a quiet sigh.She could tell he was upset. His expression had become so sour that she almost felt sorry for him.Almost.But she had no intention of taking back what she'd said, because she believed honesty was precisely what he needed from her.She wanted him to know the real Rosie, not the woman who agreed with everything a man said simply to keep the peace.“Sebastian, I…” She paused, searching for the right words. “I can't pretend I don't want a strong man to lean on. I've had no one but myself to rely on for most of my life, and Charles was a tremendous disappointment to me. After everything I've been through, I suppose I can't help wanting someone who makes me feel safe.”She lowered her gaze briefly before continuing.“But that doesn't mean I think you're weak for opening up to me.”Sebastian remained silent.“It's perfectly normal to feel anxious about things, you know. Everyone has worries. Everyone has moments when they don't know what to do next.”S

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
