"Why are you laughing?" Rose demanded with a cute pout. Kairo couldn't stop laughing for even a moment to reply to her. And Naim's sour expression is like a cherry on top. Naim suspected Rose, but today she almost killed him because she thought Naim was hurting Kairo. And it made his heart swell with happiness. He needed this. He wanted to know how much she cared about him, and this proved that she cared enough to make him believe that he could make her fall for him just like how he fell for her."I was not trying to shoot at him. He made me do it. He set me up and made it look like I was trying to kill him. That's why they all are laughing" Naim muttered and pulled himself off the ground.When Rose heard this, her cheeks tinted pink with embarrassment. She gave Naim an apologetic look and glared at Kairo. But her glare made her look cuter. "I can't believe this" she mumbled and turned to leave. But Kairo wrapped his arms around her waist from behind to stop her."Where do you think

"Don't tell me you are sitting somewhere and hiding from Kairo. Are you planning to give up on Rose?" she taunted just to get a rise out of him.Sylvia knows that she cannot do anything alone without his help. If he backs away now, she will never be able to get Kairo. So she desperately wants him to be on her side. But to her surprise, Miller turned out to be a monster in sheep's clothing.She heard his laughter, which sounded unhinged. "Give up on Rose? You must be delusional. Why do you think a cold and ruthless man like Kairo Bianchi fell for her in a matter of weeks? Because she has this innocent allure that pulls you under and you will go down willingly. She is like a succubus calling for you. Even though she doesn't know what she has, men around her do. Do you know how many men I had to ward off in this one year who tried to ask her out? Despite her ill-fitting clothes and those huge glasses that almost covered half her face, she still looked cute as hell. In this one year, she

Rose is lying beside Kairo stiffly. She is facing away from him and he is spooning her from behind. They are lying sideways and he has one of his arms wrapped around her waist tightly. She could feel every inch of his front touching every single inch of her exposed back. She couldn't relax even after she tried to. She is feeling too shy and their intimate position is not helping her case either. Especially the way his hard shaft is nestled between her butt cheeks and kissing her wet core whenever he moves. And he is moving often. After the initial mortification wore off, She noticed how his arm was tense. She could feel the tension radiating off of him in waves. His breathing is choppy and not relaxed. She frowned and turned to look at him with concern. There is a crease between his eyebrows, showing that he is in discomfort. Her eyes traced his bandaged shoulder with concern. She can see that he is in pain. She didn't see him taking any pain meds. 'Looks like his shoulder is causin

"I will be fine here. Why don't you go there? I am sure you must be worried about the boy" Rose suggested softly. Kairo was not surprised to hear that from her. She is very sweet and caring. That is one of her traits that he likes the most."You are too sweet baby. But I can't and won't leave you here alone. When the last time I left, I barely came on time to protect you from Miller. I cannot stay there when I know that the threat of Miller is hanging over your head. I will not do anything that would keep you at risk. Everything comes after you and your safety" he refused to leave her alone.Rose was moved by his words. Her stomach fluttered to know that she held a very important place in his heart and mind. She couldn't act selfishly and keep him away from that boy, even though she knew that Sylvia would be waiting there to cause trouble. 'Sylvia was with him for one year while I was away. But still, she couldn't make him fall for her and make him forget about me. It doesn't matter

Sylvia is stunned to see Rose there. Her gaze zeroed in on their joined hands. Kairo is holding her hand possessively. Sylvia gritted her teeth with Jealousy and anger.'How dare she show up here? ' she thought furiously. But she couldn't demand Rose to leave, especially in front of Kairo. Sylvia only ever wants to show her nonexistent gentle side in front of him. Rose ignored Sylvia and refused to even look at her. She only looked at the boy with gentle eyes. "Ucul Kaio" Samuel spoke excitedly. He was trying to say uncle Kairo, but it came out incoherently. But still, Kairo understood what the sweet boy was saying. So he grinned widely. Even Rose smiled with satisfaction, thinking that she made the right decision. "Kairo, you came. I know you cannot leave us when we need you" Sylvia blocked his path and tried to place her palm on his chest, but he swatted her hand away."You know as well as I do that I only came here for Samuel. Don't pretend that there is something else when ther
