All Chapters of Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You: Chapter 271 - Chapter 280

His gaze settled on her face, searching her eyes as though he wanted to understand what lay beneath her nervous declarations. He had no wish to make her feel obliged to do anything simply because she believed she owed him something. Whatever happened between them had to be something she wanted, freely and wholeheartedly.He wasn't interested in duty.He wanted her willingness, her trust, and the love they were slowly learning to share.When he was satisfied that her eagerness was genuine, a small smile tugged at his lips.“Come and sit on the bed, then.”Rosie obeyed, settling on the edge of the mattress whilst Sebastian went to close and lock the bedroom door. Once he returned, his attention shifted to her injured hand.“Can you use your left hand now?”Rosie raised it and carefully curled her fingers into a fist.“My hand's better. I can move it without any trouble.”“Good.” He examined her expression for another moment. “But tell me if anything hurts, all right? I don't want you ma

Rosie was so stunned by Regina’s apology that, for a moment, she wondered whether she was dreaming.Did she really just apologise to me?She pulled the phone away from her ear and checked the caller ID, as though she needed to reassure herself that she was speaking to the same Regina Sterling who had repeatedly called her ungrateful without ever bothering to hear her side of the story.It was definitely Regina.What happened to her? Why has she suddenly changed? Is this some sort of trap?Suspicion crowded Rosie's mind. She couldn't quite bring herself to trust the sudden change in her mother-in-law's attitude. After years of being dismissed and belittled, she had learnt that a few kind words weren't necessarily a sign that someone had changed for the better.She remained guarded as Regina continued the conversation.“You've never told me about this before, but…” Regina hesitated, choosing her words carefully. “I know Charles has abused you terribly. What exactly did he do to you, Ros

Rosie tried to wipe away her tears, but they refused to stop.She was upset, though not for her own sake. What hurt most was the expression she had seen in Sebastian’s eyes: the anger, the disappointment, and beneath it all, a sadness so deep that it had left her feeling utterly helpless.He was hurting because she had decided to give Regina a chance.And somehow, that hurt Rosie more than anything else.She had too much to think about, too many conflicting emotions pulling her in different directions. The complicated history between herself, Regina and Sebastian was a tangled mess, and she had no idea how to navigate it without hurting someone.Deep down, she knew Sebastian had a point. His reasoning was sound, and she couldn’t deny that her decision to entertain Regina's apology was driven largely by emotion.For the past ten years, Regina had done absolutely nothing to help her. Not once had she offered Rosie a genuine hand when she was struggling in her marriage. Instead of trying

Sebastian had spent most of the morning buried in paperwork, reviewing documents and making calls to various people around the office. Ordinarily, the atmosphere at Sterling Enterprises was tense enough to make even the most confident employee think twice before approaching his office. Today, however, it was considerably worse.His foul mood had spread through the entire floor, leaving everyone on edge. Even Desiree, who had grown accustomed to her boss's demanding nature, was finding it difficult to concentrate. She was beginning to think there was little point in maintaining a serious façade around Sebastian when he seemed determined to snap at anyone who dared breathe too loudly in his presence.Working for a man who was perpetually on edge was exhausting. One mistake, however minor, could earn an employee a dressing-down in front of the entire office. And judging by Sebastian's expression this morning, nobody was entirely safe.Desiree knocked before entering his office, a fresh d

'Why do you ask, Big bro?'Charles shrugged, looking entirely at ease.'I'm curious, that's all. Besides, I want to make sure Rosie will be by my side when you eventually get married. It would be rather embarrassing to attend my own brother's wedding without my wife, wouldn't it?'Sebastian kept his expression neutral.'You don’t need to worry about that. I have no plans to marry her any time soon. She's still dealing with her own problems, so marriage is the last thing on her mind at the moment.''Oh?' Charles raised an eyebrow. 'So you've found yourself a troublesome woman as well?'He sighed dramatically, as though the mere thought of a woman having problems were an inconvenience beyond endurance.'Be careful, Sebastian. You don't want to end up with a pain in the arse. A woman is supposed to be her husband's support system, not another bloody problem for him to deal with. You need to find someone obedient, someone who knows when to keep her mouth shut and wouldn't dare question yo
