Rosa Centifolia

On a trip to Chicily, my wife, Rosa Stone, and her first love, Jack Cud, insisted on feeding wild, starving wolves. I simply reminded them, "You might attract more hungry wolves." They turned on me, calling me a heartless monster. In the end, I was right. A pack of wolves really did show up. They circled the car, watching us hungrily. Jack was bitten by one. To my surprise, Rosa kicked me out of the car, yelling, "Jack is hurt! He needs to be taken to the hospital! Distract the wolves, I'll come back for you!" I watched them drive away, leaving me behind, surrounded by hungry wolves closing in from all sides. My heart sank. But, Rosa forgot one thing—I was a great Wolvesmith.

ROOM 808 It was just a regular night and an ordinary room, but for Rosa, it felt like a bad dream. She didn’t see the man who was with her that night, and she didn’t even know his name. All she could remember was his warm touch and the minty taste of his lips. Her stepsister and sister had set her up, trapping her in that room to ruin her life. Because of that night, she gave birth to a son, and she decided to hide him from everyone. Five years later, when Rosa and her son return to the Philippines, the truth about that night slowly begins to come out. Will Rosa get the justice she deserves? Or will she never learn the truth about her son's father?

To further complicate matters, Thaddeus's twin brother, Theodore de Rosa, also claims Kasumi as his mate. And just when she thought things couldn't get any more complicated, Kasumi finds herself attracting the attention of their uncle, Cretheus de Rosa, who could jeopardize her relationships with the twin brothers and her husband. Caught in a tangled web of desire and duty, Kasumi must navigate a precarious path to keep the peace between the packs. How can she avoid conflict when everyone but her Alpha mate's son has designs on her? And how can she prevent the Alpha mate's son from becoming the catalyst for an all-out war between their respective packs? ︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵ Moon Goddess' Daughters series: Kiena, the Goddess of Gallant and Retribution

Di hari yang seharusnya menjadi awal kebahagiaannya, Rosa justru dipermalukan di depan ratusan pasang mata. Evelyn, mantan kekasih Liam yang menghilang lima tahun lalu, muncul dengan senyum penuh kemenangan, membawa tuduhan keji yang langsung menghancurkan kepercayaan semua orang. Fitnah itu begitu kejam—menyeret masa lalu yang tidak pernah Rosa lakukan, membuatnya tampak seperti wanita penuh dosa di mata keluarga Liam. Saat cinta dan kepercayaan yang dia jaga dengan sepenuh hati hancur begitu saja, Liam hanya bisa berdiri di antara keraguan dan tekanan dari keluarganya. Apakah Rosa benar-benar seperti yang dituduhkan? Terpojok dan dikhianati, Rosa menolak menyerah. Dia bersumpah akan membuktikan kebenaran dan membersihkan namanya, meski dunia seolah bersekongkol untuk menjatuhkannya. Namun, semakin dalam dia menggali kebenaran, semakin banyak rahasia kelam yang terungkap—termasuk fakta bahwa Evelyn tidak datang sendiri. Ketika nyawanya terancam dan kebohongan semakin menjerat, satu pertanyaan besar menghantuinya: Jika cinta Liam tak cukup kuat untuk bertahan di tengah badai ini, apakah dia masih layak untuk diperjuangkan?

"Alex... help… please…" I tried to whisper, but no sound came out. I saw them, Alexander had his arms wrapped around Sophia, who was clutching him like her life depended on it. She was pressed against his chest, her face buried in his neck, and she wasn't letting go. "Don't look at her," Sophia whispered loudly. "You'll only make yourself sick with guilt. This isn't your fault. She did this to herself by being dramatic." That's when I heard the scream. "Oh my God! Mrs. Sterling!" Rosa, one of our housemaids, came rushing into the dining room. "Mrs. Sterling, what happened to you?" Rosa dropped to her knees beside me, her hands fluttering over my body like she didn't know where to start. "You're bleeding! There's so much blood everywhere!” I was bleeding? I couldn't feel anything below my waist anymore, but when I managed to glance down, I saw the dark stain spreading across my dress. "Mr. Alexander!" Rosa shouted, her voice cracking with an anger I’ve never seen in her before. She looked ready to commit murder. Did I look that bad? “Your wife is dying! How can you do this to her? How can you stand there holding another woman while your wife bleeds to death on the floor?!" Rosa snarled. "Rosa, lower your voice," Alexander snapped, but I could hear something different in his tone. Uncertainty. "Take Ivy to the hospital and stop making a scene, or you'll be looking for another job." Rosa shot back, tears streaming down her face. "¡Sos un bueno para nada! What kind of man are you?" I was going to die. Right here on my dining room floor, wearing my mother's blood-stained dress while my husband comforted another woman.

"Kau pikir aku mau menjadi istrimu?" Rose tertawa mencemooh. "Not in milions time." "Ya, Rose. Kau akan menggantikan Rosa! Aku tidak butuh dirimu menjadi istriku karena aku hanya perlu kau berdiri di sana menggantikan Rosa!" Ucapan Robert penuh penekanan. "Kau tahu apa yang terjadi jika menolakku? Pertama, aku akan menjaukan Kenzie dari jangkauanmu, kedua, aku akan membuat Romeo ayahmu di deportasi, ketiga, aku akan menjual dirimu ke rumah bordil!"

What the fuck, Rosa! You fucked two men in a week and now you don't know who your baby's daddy is?!" When Rosa finds out that her husband was cheating on her, she gives her hot boss a chance to have her. But everything turns upside down when her boss cunningly makes her sign a three year contract marriage with him. Matters become worse when she learns she is three months pregnant after sleeping with both her ex and her boss.

I'm back to that night I was drugged with an aphrodisiac. My sister, Rosa Spencer, drags the most aggressive guy in the village, Theo Dawson, into the woods without hesitation. In my previous life, both Rosa and I had been drugged at the same time. She jumped at the chance to be with the promising young intellectual, Dexter Newman, and I was stuck with Theo. After what happened, Dexter took responsibility without a second thought. He threw a huge wedding in the village and married Rosa. Meanwhile, I ended up marrying Theo in a rush, with nothing but a tattered quilt. Seeing this, Rosa burst into laughter. "You were born unlucky, and you'll never beat me! My husband's going to college. His future's limitless!" Yet, to my surprise, Theo changed completely after we married. He spoiled me endlessly and even became the richest man in the state. Dexter, on the other hand, failed his college entrance exam due to cheating and could only make a living by doing odd jobs. After seeing me become the wife of the richest man in the state, Rosa suddenly ran to my house in tears. "My husband's a total loser. Years have gone by, and we can't even afford a decent apartment!" Out of sisterly sympathy, I landed her a well-paying job. But when she came to thank me, she smashed a whiskey bottle over my head. "We're sisters! How come you get to live better than me?" When I opened my eyes again, I was back to that very night Rosa and I were both drugged with an aphrodisiac.

"Do you think I want to be your wife?" Rose laughed scornfully. "Not in millions of time." "Yes, Rose. You're going to take Rosa's place! I don't need you to be my wife because I just need you to stand there in Rosa's place!" Robert's words were emphatic. "Do you know what happens if you refuse me? First, I will keep Kenzie out of your reach, second, I will deport your father Romeo, third, I will sell you to a brothel!"

Sebagai manusia, wajar-wajar saja bila Rosa tak mengerti banyak hal. Namun dari semuanya, Rosa paling tidak mengerti dengan : 1. Jalan hidupnya; 2. Perempuan menjaga makan ditempat umum (Terlebih didepan crush); 3. Para ibu dengan motor; 4. Dia disebut mirip chipmunk; Dan yang terakhir, Arzan yang tetap mengganggunya dengan kata 'suka' sementara sudah ribuan kata penolakan yang dilempar percuma padanya. Arzan tetap tak menyerah.
