The journey back was a quiet one.

Rosie sat by the window, her arm wrapped protectively around Isabella as the city lights blurred past in streaks of gold and white. Beside her, her daughter hummed softly, swinging her legs in idle contentment, blissfully unaware of the storm gathering within her mother’s chest.

When the car came to a stop before the motel, Rosie paid the driver and stepped out, lifting the small suitcase Charles had packed. The building loomed ahead—its flickering neon sign ca

  • Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You   Chapter 292 : I don’t believe you’re evil, Rosie.

    Regina studied her carefully, searching for some sign that Rosie's words were a performance.Shania's accusations lingered at the back of her mind. She had insisted that Rosie was manipulative, that she had deliberately ensnared Sebastian and was using her own suffering to turn him against his family.Regina wanted to know whether there was any truth to it.“You do realise I could tell Charles everything, don't you?” she asked. “I could tell him that Sebastian is the one protecting you. Your husband could make his life a living hell.”Rosie's face paled.Her breath caught, and her fingers tightened around the strap of her handbag.For one terrible moment, fear threatened to overwhelm her.Then she forced herself to look Regina in the eye.“Then I'll go back to Charles.”Regina's expression hardened with surprise.“What?”“I'll give myself up to him. If that's what it takes to keep Sebastian safe, I'll do it.”Her voice trembled, but she continued.“He can do whatever he wants to me, a

  • Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You   Chapter 291 : Even if protecting him puts you in danger?

    Rosie did her best to act as though nothing was wrong as she watched Sebastian and Izzie eat the pancakes he had prepared that morning.Breakfast was simple, but the atmosphere was unexpectedly peaceful. Izzie sat beside Sebastian, happily cutting her pancakes into smaller pieces, whilst Sebastian ate in silence, occasionally glancing between the little girl and Rosie to make sure they were both enjoying their food.Every so often, his gaze lingered on Rosie, as though he needed to reassure himself that she was all right.Seeing them smile always brought him a quiet sense of relief. It reminded him of what he had wanted for most of his life but had never truly possessed.A happy family.Not the sort of family that looked perfect in photographs whilst hiding its ugliness behind closed doors, but one where people could laugh without fear, eat together without tension and feel safe enough to be themselves.For Sebastian, watching Rosie and Izzie settle into their new life with him was a

    Neither woman spoke at first.Rosie sat rigidly on the edge of the bed, the phone pressed to her ear, while Regina struggled to find the words she had rehearsed in her head.The silence stretched between them.Eventually, Rosie cleared her throat.“H-Hello? Regina, are you there?”Regina closed her eyes and drew a deep breath, trying to steady herself.“Yes. I'm here.”Her voice sounded rougher than she had intended.“T-Thank you for calling me, Rosie. I thought...” She paused, swallowing the lump in her throat. “I thought we might never speak again.”Rosie said nothing for a moment.“What's happened, Regina?”Oh, darling, where do I even begin?The thought flashed through Regina's mind.So much had happened in such a short time that she could barely keep track of her own emotions. Her family was crumbling, her eldest son had become a man she scarcely recognised, and her youngest seemed determined to keep her at a distance. Now she had learnt something about Sebastian and Rosie that t

  • Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You   Chapter 289 : Only one?

    Rosie woke before Sebastian the following morning, her skin damp with perspiration despite the air conditioning humming quietly in the bedroom.The reason was currently wrapped around her like an oversized, immovable blanket.Sebastian had spent the night spooning her, his muscular arms locked around her waist and his chest pressed firmly against her back. Even in his sleep, he seemed determined to keep her close, apparently oblivious to the fact that his body heat was slowly turning the bed into a sauna.Rosie wriggled, trying to prise his arms apart.“Sebastian, let go,” she whispered.“Hm?”He made a sleepy noise, tightened his hold for a moment and promptly began snoring again.Rosie stared at the ceiling.Honestly, he was like a great ape. A ridiculously handsome, infuriatingly muscular ape who apparently had no intention of releasing his favourite possession until he decided the time had come.She tried lifting his arm again.Nothing.She pushed at his shoulder.Still nothing.“

  • Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You   Chapter 288 : But I’m trying not to be a terrible person.

    The car travelled through the night until it reached Edward Tower, the impressive residential and commercial development owned by Sebastian Edward Sterling, the young, strikingly handsome chief executive who had become something of an internet sensation.His success alone had attracted attention, but it was his age and devastating good looks that had sent his name circulating across social media. Women swooned over his photographs, business magazines praised his achievements, and countless people wondered how someone so young had managed to build such an empire.For Regina, however, Edward Tower represented something far more unsettling.It was proof of just how much her second son had accomplished without her.The car descended into the basement car park before coming to a halt. The driver glanced towards the rear seat.“We're here, Madam.”Regina remained silent for a moment, staring through the window at the dimly lit concrete pillars. Then she turned to him.“Go upstairs and rent

  • Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You   Chapter 287 : Don’t take Sebastian away from me as well.

    Regina walked slowly along the corridor, her steps faltering every few paces. More than once, she had to reach for the wall to steady herself, her fingers pressing against the cold surface as though it were the only thing keeping her upright.Her shoulders drooped. The woman who had always held her head high, her chin lifted with an air of superiority, seemed to have disappeared. In her place was a woman approaching sixty, worn down by years of unhappiness, overwhelmed by loneliness and struggling to comprehend how cruelly life had treated her.For once, Regina Sterling looked every bit her age.She entered the lift and stood motionless as the doors slid shut. For several seconds, she managed to hold herself together. Then, without warning, her composure crumbled.Her tears came like a dam breaking, streaming down her cheeks and dripping onto the floor. Her body trembled as she pressed a hand over her mouth, desperately trying to contain the sobs threatening to escape.She still could

  • 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

    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
