All Chapters of He's Sugar, She's Spice: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

62~ROSALINE~I hold unto him like he'd disappear if I let go. "You're alive." I cry. "You're alive.""You didn't think I'd die that easily did you?"I pull away from him and study his face. "Are you hurt? Anywhere? How did you..."He smiles and tucks my hair behind my ears. "It's a long story..."I hug him again and hold still. "I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you." I apologize in-between sobs. "It's fine." He says and pulls away. He steps away from me and puts his hands back into his pocket. "This is fake anyway. I can't expect something like that.""What?"He shrugs. "Troubles like these are expected when it's a contract marriage.""I... I don't understand what you're saying...""Since we came together it's been troubles. It's been a lot. Your cancer, your kidnapping.... The contract getting out... It was as if we were getting warning signs that this will never work.""I don't care." I say and take a step closer to him. "We... We can handle this together. We always have." I tak

64~ROSALINE~The ceiling above me is split down the middle like a broken promise. I blink once, twice. My body feels... distant. Like I'm watching myself from somewhere else. Just like when Dad had left us and mum slipped into a coma. When I try to sit up, my arms refuse to move properly. My right arm responds with a sharp pain that makes me suck in air through my teeth. My left arm feels like it's wrapped in metal. There's something wet and warm sliding down my temple, pooling in my ear.Blood.My mind snaps. Where's Aloe?"Aloe?" My throat feels like I have swallowed concrete. "Aloe!"I try to move again and my ears begin to ring. The ringing continues, amplified by the acrid smell of smoke filling my lungs. With each heave, my ribs protest.My eyes wander, my heart beating in my chest. "Aloe!" I shout and a cough follows with what looks like fine dust coming out.The ringing subsides enough for other sounds to filter through. I hear sirens in the distance, the groan of settling

66~CHROLLO~The hole in Chrollo's head leaves me no satisfaction. Pulling myself to my feet, I walk towards his convulsing body.I wanted to forgive him. Put the past behind us knowing that he just wanted love. But now...I point the gun to his head and pull the trigger. One. Two. Fucking three. "Burn in hell."I turn to Mr Silas, I swear I see him blink. His hand moves to mine. I open it and take the sheet of paper from him. Sirens wail in the distance.I read his lips. "Run." He squatted, closed his eyes and swat angrily at a falling tear. "I'll avenge you." I whisper. "I promise."****Stomping hard on the door, I kick it down in one swift motion. Christian Sylvester's eyes widened in pure terror. "You're... You're alive."I walk towards him, not seeing blood and not him. My arms droop at my side while I clench Mr Silas’ staff and Chrollo's signature ring. Christian's eyes move to the ring and his eyes widen. "Where is he? Where is..."I don't wait to hear him finish. I punc

68~ROSALINE~"Christian Sylvester, founder of Royalty furniture, was found dead in his apartment at 9:45 p.m. last night. According to evidence, he left a note before pulling throwing himself off the building roof...""Ethan honks at a sluggish car before overtaking and almost colliding with a bicycle. "Also, evidence of money laundering and bribes alongside murders he had committed were present at the scene. That same night at his family vacation house, at about 9 p.m. two bodies identified as his second son Chrollo Sylvester and a man rumoured to be the late Silas Tangshou was found...""The car screeched to a halt. I would have slammed my chest into the car if not for the seat belt."What are you doing?! We need to get to that press conference now!"He doesn't reply. "I'll drive." I say and push open my door. I open the driver's door. "Out."He still doesn't reply. I grab his shoulder. "For fucks sake Ethan!"I freeze. He's in tears. His knuckles grip the steering wheel tight.

70~ALARIC~"Feng!" Mum breathes. She moves and wraps her arms around all three of us. Her three sons she thought she'd lost. We stand like that, a tangle of limbs and tears and years of separation. When they finally pull apart, Feng keeps one hand on Ethan's shoulder and one hand on mine, like he's afraid we'll disappear if he lets go.That makes me smile. "You troublesome little shits," he says, his voice thick with emotion. "Do you have any idea how hard it was for me not to tell you during that meeting?"Right! He mentioned this. My laugh is watery. "Thank goodness you didn't. You would have taken all the reunion glory.""Glory?" Feng swipes at his eyes. "You call having to reveal a secret that kept eating at me everyday glory?""You thought it was necessary," Ethan says quietly.Feng shakes his head, but there's no real anger in his expression. Just relief. Just love.Rosie meets my eyes and smiles. Mum wipes her eyes, a smile breaking through her tears. "Do you boys remember
