Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 315 : True intention
Sebastian sat in a rattan chair in his bedroom, his laptop balanced on his knees as he continued working through a mountain of documents.After a while, he let out a weary sigh and removed his glasses. Pinching the bridge of his nose, he tried to ease some of the tension gathering there.He had deliberately avoided working in his home office. The thought of sitting in there surrounded by unfinished tasks and reminders of the day's workload had seemed rather unappealing. He'd hoped that working from the comfort of his bedroom might help him relax a little.“Well, that clearly isn't working,” he scoffed.He slipped his glasses back on and returned his attention to the documents on his screen. He was completely absorbed in his work when a series of knocks interrupted him. Sebastian lifted his head and glanced towards the door.“Who is it?”“Sebastian, may I come in?”His expression softened at the sound of his beloved's voice.“Of course.”The door clicked open.Rosie appeared in the do

Sebastian had a particularly demanding day at work. There was plenty to keep him occupied, not least working alongside Desiree to contact and assess several private schools to determine which would be suitable and, more importantly, safe for Izzie.After making what felt like an endless number of calls, his throat had begun to ache. He reached for a glass of water and took a long drink before setting it down.“We'll take a lunch break first. I've called at least thirty schools today, both public and private. My throat is bloody sore.”“Of course, sir. Would you like to hear my report on Shania while we're taking a break?” Desiree asked.“Already?” Sebastian frowned. It hadn't even been a full day since they'd last discussed Shania. Although he despised the woman for the things she'd said about Rosie, he hadn't been in any particular hurry to ruin her life.“Yes, sir. Didn't I mention that I have a personal score to settle with her?” Desiree's expression turned cold. “Our lives might n

“It's not that simple, Sebastian.”Rosie shook her head, then sighed and leant against the wall behind her.Even discussing Izzie's relationship with Charles left her feeling nauseous and strangely weak. It was a subject she desperately wished she could avoid, but she knew she couldn't put it off for ever.“Why isn't it simple?” Sebastian demanded. “I'm sure Izzie would understand. She's already witnessed how unhinged Charles can be with her own eyes! All you have to do is tell her the truth, and she'll never want anything to do with him again.”“Sebastian, please calm down…”Rosie had noticed his temper beginning to flare. She didn't want their conversation to turn into another argument.“You don't need to get so worked up about this.”“Rosie, you…”Sebastian drew a deep breath, forcing himself to regain control.He had almost shouted at her again. The thought of Rosie continuing to make excuses for Charles, when the man had done so much harm to her and their daughter, infuriated him
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 312 : But did you actually tell her everything?
Rosie woke the following morning feeling considerably more refreshed after the events of the previous night.Things had gone better than she had expected. Despite everything that had happened the day before, Sebastian wasn't nearly as angry with her as she'd feared. In fact, he seemed to have softened considerably.She still refused to believe that he'd yielded simply because of her kiss, although the way he'd reacted—and practically begged her for another one—had given her a rather intriguing idea. Perhaps she had that sort of power over him after all. Perhaps a little sex appeal was enough to make even Sebastian Edward Sterling bend to her will.“Ah, that can't be right. He was probably just particularly horny last night. That's why he behaved so out of character just to get what he wanted,” Rosie muttered, dismissing the thought.She simply couldn't picture herself dominating a man, let alone someone as intimidating and domineering as Sebastian.For most of her life, she'd been the

Regina entered the lavish presidential suite of a hotel not far from Sebastian’s apartment. She tossed her handbag onto the nearest sofa before making her way towards the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the glittering London skyline.It was a beautiful view, particularly at night, but her attention was fixed elsewhere.Across the city, not too far from the hotel, stood a towering building known as Sterling Tower.Regina stared at it for a long moment before releasing a heavy, sorrowful sigh.“This place is certainly nicer than that poky little rented flat I had to endure for two days. But there’s no Rosie, no Izzie, and not even Sebastian.”She turned away from the window and wandered towards the bed, her footsteps slow and aimless.“Now that I’ve lost my chance, I haven’t the faintest idea how to occupy myself…”Sitting on the edge of the mattress, she stared blankly at the wall opposite her.To say she was unhappy would have been a considerable understatement. Her heart felt ut
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

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
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

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
