All Chapters of Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You: Chapter 251 - Chapter 260

When the film ended, Sebastian was about to ask whether Izzie wanted to watch another one when Rosie quickly tapped her wrist, signalling him not to even think about it. If he offered another film, they would end up spending the entire night in the cinema.Sebastian chuckled at her silent warning. He ruffled Izzie's hair affectionately and asked, "Happy with your reward?""Mm-hmm! Thank you so much, Uncle!" Izzie exclaimed, wrapping her arms around his neck again.This time, however, she showed no intention of letting go."Izzie, come on. Let Uncle go. We need to get home," Rosie coaxed gently.Izzie shook her head and buried her face against Sebastian's chest. "I want Uncle to carry me."Rosie gave Sebastian an apologetic look, but he merely laughed."Of course. Why not?"He scooped Izzie into his arms with effortless ease, and the three of them left the cinema together.By the time they reached the car, it was nearly midnight. Izzie yawned several times, growing sleepier by the minu

Rosie let out a bitter scoff, shaking her head at her own foolishness."Do you know what I did after I caught him kissing another woman?" she asked, her lips twisting into a self-deprecating smile. "I forgave him."Sebastian said nothing, allowing her to continue."I told myself that Charles was simply being adventurous. That it was a silly mistake, something that would never happen again. I convinced myself there was nothing to worry about, that he still loved me and that our marriage would be fine." She gave a humourless laugh. "I kept making excuses for him, trying to convince myself that what he'd done wasn't as bad as it seemed."Her smile faded."But it wasn’t a simple mistake. Charles kept doing it, over and over again. He kept pushing the boundaries, testing how much I was willing to tolerate."Rosie lowered her head, a bitter smile settling on her lips."And I stupidly let him. Every time he crossed a line, I moved it a little further away. I kept making room for his behaviou

Sebastian closed his bedroom door behind him and headed straight for the bathroom to take a quick, warm shower.He stepped beneath the showerhead and closed his eyes, allowing the warm water to cascade over his head and run down his muscular frame before disappearing into the drain.As the water washed over him, his thoughts drifted back to the events of the previous evening.It had been a good day.He had taken Rosie and Izzie out for a lovely meal, followed by a trip to the cinema. Watching the little girl enjoy her reward had been satisfying in itself, but the real pleasure had been spending time with Rosie.He had told her that the outing was his way of celebrating Izzie's successful school play, and that wasn't a lie. He was genuinely proud of the little girl’s achievement and wanted her to enjoy something special.But that hadn't been his only motivation.Sebastian knew Rosie would probably refuse if he asked her out on a proper date. Whether he suggested dinner at a restaurant

Regina was easily provoked whenever anyone mentioned her mental illness. She had been diagnosed with severe depression in her twenties, a condition that had followed her through much of her life.Her late husband, Robert Sterling, had left a gaping wound in her heart. Years of his infidelity and abuse had worn her down, leaving her numb, bitter and perpetually unhappy. No matter how many ridiculously expensive things she bought, nothing could fill the emptiness he had left behind. Robert had devastated her so thoroughly that, even after his death, she struggled to trust men, let alone believe in love.Eleven years after losing him, she was still hurting. She continued to attend therapy with Shailene, desperately trying to mend the parts of herself that Robert had broken.“Say whatever you like, you treacherous bastard. I know you're trying to bring your own family down. I can sense it.” Regina's eyes narrowed as she glared at Sebastian. “You can’t fool me.”Despite the confident smile

Regina had barely made it to the lift when she unexpectedly crossed paths with Sebastian, who had just come out of the loo.Sebastian raised an eyebrow when he saw her.“Leaving so soon? I thought you were going to pester us a little longer.”Regina said nothing.She was in no mood to argue with her younger son, not after what she had learnt about Charles. The revelation had left her reeling, forcing her to confront the possibility that she had unwittingly helped turn her beloved firstborn into a monster.Sebastian scoffed when she failed to respond.“What’s the matter? Have you finally run out of things to say?” He shook his head dismissively. “Honestly, what am I doing, wasting my time talking to a useless mother like you?”Without waiting for an answer, he turned and headed back towards Charles's office, leaving Regina standing by the lift.A moment later, the doors slid open with a soft chime.Regina stepped inside and pressed the button for the ground floor. The moment the doors c
