Dear Gentle Readers , Grazie per il tuo sostegno. Thank you so much for your continuous support. Please enjoy this chapter as a token of this author’s deep appreciationYours, E.C. ********Secretary Maria thought she had done her best to provoke Charles. Now, however, he looked less like a human being and more like a crazed beast."Then, Sir, would you like me to do something to catch her as soon as possible? I can arrange it," Maria offered.Charles gradually calmed himself.Truthfully, he wanted to find Rosie and force her to crawl at his feet, to watch her cry and beg for mercy after spending so long trying to escape him.But ever since he had discovered that seeing Rosie fight back aroused something dark and unexpected within him, another idea had taken root."Not now, Secretary Maria," Charles replied firmly. "I'll let her roam free for the time being. I want her to become healthy again and return to her younger days, when she was a glamorous beauty."He paused, his gaze dropp

Chapter 201 : I’ll make it up to you. I’ll become the man you can rely on, Rosie. Even if it costs me everything.

Sebastian ended the call with his elder brother, Charles Sterling.For several seconds, he remained leaning against the wall, drawing in a deep breath before slowly exhaling into the cold night air.From the penthouse balcony, London stretched before him in a glittering expanse of lights. He stared out over the city, his thoughts racing as he considered what he needed to do next to protect everything he had—and, more importantly, the woman he loved.Good thing I called him as soon as possible, Sebastian thought. Charles might have investigated the matter himself if I'd forgotten to report it.There was no way Sebastian could afford to hide anything from his elder brother.Especially with that old hag around.Secretary Maria was far too perceptive for his liking. She was capable of setting traps and following the smallest inconsistencies, which meant she had probably already sensed that something about Sebastian was suspicious.The stage had been set.He could no longer afford to play

Chapter 202 : But because I... I want to have someone I can lean on.

Meanwhile, Rosie had something else on her mind.She knew Sebastian had been smoking because he was under an enormous amount of stress over everything involving Charles and the company. She had seen the strain weighing on him.She had seen the same sort of pressure weighing on Charles, too.But Charles had never smoked.Instead, he had taken his frustrations out on her.He would hurt and torment her until she broke down in tears, and only then would he seem satisfied. That had been his way of relieving stress.And Rosie had foolishly convinced herself that she could endure it.If she became the martyr, perhaps her daughter would remain safe and happy.But I’m still human. I can’t endure that much pain.So she had filed for divorce and run away.Even now, doubt still lingered in her heart.Her fear of Charles's wrath had been carved so deeply into her that, somewhere in her subconscious, part of her still wanted to return to him.Not because she loved that bastard.That love was gone.

Chapter 203 : Mine’s even bigger than a police stick—

Rosie woke early that morning.As usual, she prepared breakfast for Izzie and Sebastian before waking them and ushering them towards the dining table, where everything had already been laid out.Both Sebastian and Izzie were still half-asleep, but neither of them could seem to take their eyes off Rosie as she moved back and forth between the kitchen and the table, preparing their breakfast and pouring their juice.She seemed like a patch of warm sunshine on an otherwise cold morning.Izzie was the first to say it."Mommy, you’re glowing today!""Hm? Glowing?" Rosie looked at her daughter in confusion. "What do you mean? I haven’t even had a bath yet.""But you’re glowing like the sun!"Realising her mother wasn't convinced, Izzie immediately looked around for someone who could back her up.Her gaze landed on Sebastian, who had been staring at Rosie without so much as blinking."Look at Uncle, Mommy! He’s been staring at you this whole time! He’s even drooling!" Izzie announced with de

Chapter 204 : I don’t want you to get hurt, Rosie.

"Charles has no reason to come..." Rosie continued reasoning. "Don’t worry, Sebastian. Everything will be all right."She moved closer and gently stroked his hair, hoping to calm him.Sebastian, however, merely looked up at her, his expression still troubled. He caught her wrist and tugged."Ah!"Rosie’s balance gave way, and she landed squarely on his lap.Sebastian immediately slipped an arm around her waist, keeping her firmly beside him."How can you say everything will be all right after what happened yesterday?" he asked. "You were tricked by that old hag, remember?"He hated bringing it up.He knew Rosie already regretted what had happened, and the last thing he wanted was to make her feel worse.But she didn’t seem to understand how dangerous her trust could be. If he didn’t remind her, she might make the same mistake again.So, even if it bruised her pride, he had to say it."I just..." Sebastian’s voice softened. "I don’t want you to get hurt, Rosie."He lowered his head and

Chapter 205 : Why can’t I be the one for you, Rosie Sterling?

Rosie, Izzie and Sebastian made their way down to the car park together.Their cars had been parked side by side, but Rosie stopped short when she noticed something immediately wrong.The silver Bentley Sebastian had given her was gone.In its place sat a brand-new Bentley in matte black, gleaming beneath the car-park lights. Even the child seat inside was still covered in its original plastic wrapping.Rosie stared at it in bewilderment."What happened to my old car?"Sebastian clicked his tongue, visibly irritated."Damn. I told those idiots to take the plastic off. What the hell is this?" he muttered, barely loud enough for Rosie to hear.He caught himself almost immediately.He certainly wasn't about to start swearing in front of Izzie. Rosie would have his head if he did.Sebastian opened the driver's door, reached inside and retrieved the key. He walked back towards Rosie and held it out to her."This is your new car. Same brand, so it'll be fairly similar to drive. It's just a

[ W ] Chapter 206 : I’ll simply let them destroy themselves from the inside.

Sebastian stepped out of the lift when it reached the top floor, where Desiree was waiting outside his office with a stack of documents in her hands.If his schedule was anything to go by, the first report concerned the development of his new beverage product, which was due to launch across the eastern United States in spring.The second concerned a particular man."Good morning, Sir," Desiree greeted as usual.But there was something different about her expression this morning. It was solemn, almost troubled, as though the information she carried weighed heavily on her."Let’s go inside and discuss those reports, Desiree."Sebastian opened the office door and walked in, with Desiree following closely behind.He settled into his executive chair, leaned forwards and rested one forearm on the desk. His gaze fixed on Desiree as she stood opposite him."Let’s start with the beverage product. What’s the update regarding Colin Maxwel

[ W ] Chapter 207 : A permanent reminder.

Jessie checked her watch as she shoved the last of her belongings into her handbag.It was almost midnight, and she'd only just finished tutoring another student.She had taken up private tutoring as a side job simply to make ends meet. There was no way her salary as a primary-school teacher could comfortably support four children, a useless husband and an ageing mother.It was the first time in her life she'd been forced to take on extra work just to keep her family afloat.And, as far as Jessie was concerned, it was all because of that stupid bitch, Rosie.Ever since Rosie had left Charles, everything had gone to hell.Charles had become reluctant to send as much money to Jessie's family as he used to. He was consumed by grief, and he no longer visited their house because, according to him, every corner reminded him of Rosie and only made the loss harder to bear."Ugh, that bitch has no pity," Jessie muttered as she walked towards t

Chapter 208 : Your ******* are one of my personal needs too.

Sebastian sat alone in the living room late that night, waiting for word from his agent.He had instructed the man to carry out the operation just before midnight.For the past three days, his agent had been keeping Jessie under close surveillance. Desiree had supplied him with everything he needed beforehand—her whereabouts, her routine, the places she frequented, and enough information to determine exactly where and when to make his move.Tonight was the night.Sebastian's heel tapped repeatedly against the carpet.He was nervous.That alone irritated him.His agent was a professional. Over the years, Sebastian had been forced to resort to methods that were less than respectable simply to survive the cut-throat world of business. His agent had handled every dirty task without disappointing him once.Normally, Sebastian wouldn't have cared.If the consequences involved only himself, he could be recklessly indiffer

[ E ] Chapter 209 : I haven’t done anything vulgar, so why’s your face gone red?

Sebastian’s smile widened."Hm?"His fingers moved gently, deliberately teasing her."Your breasts are one of my personal needs, too."Sebastian leaned forward and gently pecked Rosie's lips.It was something he had never done before.Usually, whenever he kissed her, there was nothing gentle about it. His kisses were heated, hungry things that left Rosie struggling to keep up with his desire.Charles had never kissed her tenderly either.So this simple little gesture felt strangely new to Rosie.Sebastian pecked her lips once more. He was deliberately holding himself back, resisting the urge to cup the back of her head and pull her into a deeper kiss.He wanted to take his time with her. He wanted to explore every inch of her lips, to let their tongues meet and linger, but he was determined not to rush her.He didn’t want to frighten her.His gaze remained fixed on Rosie while his other hand slowly travelled along her inner thigh."Ah... uhm... S-Sebastian, that’s—"Rosie bit her lowe
