2026-05-11 01:08:13Desiree and Rosie quickly separated from each other the moment Sebastian’s cold voice echoed through the hallway.
Rosie immediately straightened her posture and bowed her head politely toward the closed office door.
“Good morning, Mr. Edward Sterling,” she greeted softly. “Yes, I’ll come to your office in ten minutes.”
Then she tilted her head slightly and asked carefully,
“Do you want me to bring anything? Or… do you want me to bring the banana milk from the fridg

Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 172 : Sit. Come and keep me company tonight.
Sebastian lifted one hand and patted the empty space beside him on the sofa."Sit."Amara hesitated."Come and keep me company tonight."Amara's eyes widened at the invitation from Mr Edward Sterling.She knew it was hardly unusual. In this bar, waitresses were often encouraged to keep VIP guests company. It was part of the service, and the women were paid handsomely for it.Still, she had never imagined that the young, handsome Sebastian Edward Sterling would ask for her.At least by the standards of the other waitresses, Amara was one of the oldest women working there. Most VIPs preferred younger women, which meant invitations like this were exceedingly rare for her."S-Sir, would you like me to call one of the younger waitresses?""No." Sebastian's answer was curt. "Just sit here and keep me company. Don't worry. I'll pay you for your time."Amara swallowed nervously.The sharp, hawk-like gaze Sebastian fixed upon her did little to settle her nerves. If anything, it made her feel e
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 171 : Because the man you’ve ruined... is the man I love.
Sebastian already carried far too many doubts in his heart.There were questions he couldn't answer, suspicions he couldn't shake, and memories he no longer knew how to interpret.Yet, amidst all that uncertainty, there was one truth he had always clung to.He was undoubtedly, hopelessly in love with Rosie Sterling.But... what if this thing called love isn't what I think it is?Sebastian's brow furrowed as he tried to make sense of Shania's words.Am I in love with Rosie because I'm actually in love with her... or because I'm obsessed with the idea of loving her?The more he tried to process Shania's explanation, the more tangled his thoughts became.He knew very little about psychology. He wasn't equipped to dissect his own mind, let alone distinguish genuine love from emotional dependence, obsession or childhood attachment.And instead of giving him clarity, Shania's words had only made him question everything.Had all those years of hard work been for nothing?Had every sacrifice
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 170 : I love her. I’m hopelessly, undeniably in love with Rosie Sterling.
Sebastian still felt strangely uncomfortable at the thought of eating Shania's cooking.This feels like I’m cheating on my wife.He froze at the thought.Wait... wife?His brows drew together.W-W-Why the hell did I just think of Rosie as my wife?The answer was painfully obvious.He loved her. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He wanted her beside him for as long as he lived.But wife?Sebastian grimaced.That’s a bit much, isn’t it?He had never liked the idea of being tied down by anyone. Marriage, commitment, all of it had always sounded like a trap.And yet, when it came to Rosie, his mind seemed determined to contradict everything he had ever believed.While Sebastian wrestled with his own ridiculous thoughts, Shania finished preparing dinner.She placed a plate of spaghetti and meatballs in front of Sebastian before sitting opposite him with her own portion.She picked up her fork and began eating, only to notice that Sebastian was still staring blankly at the f
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 169 : She used her charm to hook my first son, and then she used that same charm to groom my second.
Shania had just finished another therapy session with one of her most prominent clients: an elderly woman whose husband had cheated on her throughout their marriage.After his death, Regina Sterling had inherited his fortune and lived a life of considerable wealth. Yet the emotional damage he had left behind had never truly healed. The betrayal had made it almost impossible for her to form another relationship, and she had even struggled to maintain a close bond with her two sons.Shania sighed as she closed her notebook.Regina was clearly suffering.But after listening to her latest session, Shania could also understand why Sebastian had never been particularly fond of his mother.According to Regina, she had been incapable of caring for Sebastian because she had been battling her own trauma. Rosie, meanwhile, had stepped in and looked after him from the age of seven.Shania glanced down at the notes from their most recent session."That girl... she came from a poor family," Regina
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 168 : Nobody is special to him except his wife and daughter.
For some inexplicable reason, Charles was furious at the thought of Miranda wanting to slap his wife."Did you?""Well, sadly, no..." Miranda lamented, as though she were the one who had been wronged. "She caught my hand and then slapped me repeatedly until I became dizzy and fell to the floor."At last, Miranda lifted her head. Her eyes were glossy with tears."She slapped me so hard I nearly cried, Darling..." she whimpered. "Please avenge me. I want you to beat her. Slap her ten times harder than she slapped me!"Charles rose from his chair and walked towards her.Miranda detected no hostility in his expression, so she remained where she was until he stopped directly in front of her."Tell me, love. Where did she slap you?""My left cheek." Miranda pointed to it pitifully. "She slapped me here. It’s bruised, and I have to cover it with make-up."The sight of a beautiful woman looking so vulnerable would have awakened a protective instinct in most men.Unfortunately for Miranda, Cha
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 167 : You’re supposed to make her feel unwanted.
Charles surveyed Miranda from head to toe with his cold, viper-like gaze, and she immediately lowered her head.She was frightened.In four years of their relationship, she had never seen this side of him. Charles had always been sweet to her—generous, attentive and indulgent enough to make her believe she held a special place in his heart.So why had everything changed so suddenly?What did I do wrong? I thought we were going to have a beautiful life together...Miranda struggled to accept the reality that she was no longer Charles’s favourite woman.This is supposed to be Rosie’s position.Rosie is supposed to be the one Charles hates. The one he doesn’t love. Not me.Charles noticed the anger and resentment flickering across Miranda’s face. She looked as though she were still struggling to make sense of everything, constructing one explanation after another in her head.At least, none of that anger appeared to be directed at him. She didn't even dare meet his eyes.To be perfectly
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
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 2 : “Reminds me of a certain crazy night in my car back in college—do you?”
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
