Rosie sat quietly for several minutes, her gaze drifting about the room with cautious curiosity.

The office was vast—sleek and sophisticated, yet touched with something unexpectedly personal. Modern art lined the walls, each piece no doubt worth more than she cared to imagine, while a series of sculpted figures stood upon display—abstract, deliberate, and entirely beyond her understanding.

And yet, it was not the art that held her attention.

It was the door.

Set apart in the far corner, it stoo

  • Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You   Chapter 317 : When did Mummy marry Uncle?

    They arrived at the first school, situated just around the corner from Westminster in Central London.It was a private school housed inside a tall building, with neither a front garden nor a playground at the back. It certainly lacked the grandeur of Izzie's previous school, which had been set within a gated community and boasted an enormous indoor sports hall, an expansive outdoor running track, landscaped gardens and various other facilities.Nevertheless, it was a respectable establishment, and, more importantly, one that could guarantee Izzie's safety.Standing before the main entrance, Izzie gazed up at the American flag fluttering above the doorway.“Come along, Izzie,” Rosie said, taking her daughter's hand before following Desiree inside.As they made their way down the corridor, Izzie glanced around curiously. Everything seemed considerably smaller than what she was accustomed to. The hallway wasn't particularly wide, and the ceilings weren't nearly as high as those at her pr

    “You don’t need to bring your backpack, dear,” Rosie reminded Izzie as the little girl hurried upstairs to fetch it.“But I’m going to school today, Mummy!” Izzie chirped excitedly. “I’ve got everything ready in my backpack!”Rosie giggled. “Darling, we’re going to visit the schools first. Then you can decide which one you like best. All right?”A little disappointment crossed Izzie’s face. She had been looking forward to starting school straight away, but she eventually nodded and returned her backpack to her bedroom before making her way back to the penthouse.She was surprised to find Uncle Sebastian and Desiree already standing beside the dining table, chatting with her mummy.“Good morning, Uncle! Desiree!”They turned towards her almost simultaneously, their faces brightening at the sight of her.Desiree crouched in front of the little girl. “Morning, Izzie. Are you ready to visit ten new schools today?”“Mm!” Izzie nodded enthusiastically. “Uncle said you’d be coming with us!”

    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

    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

    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
