The time Rossie woke up again, she was all alone in bed. Jared had already told her that he was going to get some work done in the company so she had already expected him to be gone. He did say that she can text or call him anytime she wanted and he'll respond when he gets the time.A bath would be nice. With her sore body, she sits up in bed, slowly gets off, and heads to the bathroom. Yes, she usually saves water but right now, she really wants to try that big bathtub and so she started filling it with water, a warm one.While waiting, she decided to get her phone for some music but then she reads a text from Ellisa asking if she was alright. She sighs heavily.She isn't alright. There are questions she would like to ask Jake. Did he do that because she was thinking about taking her manager's offer to be a Team Lead? But they didn't break up and how could he just bluntly go for another girl without telling her? Oh, who is she kidding? She is even with somebody else, fucking and enj

Three days before the party, Rossie attempted to ask Jared if she could come with him to his workplace. This was something she and Veronica decided on; to investigate what Jared was up to. He seemed so busy these days and he can't even tell her where he was aside from it was work. “So, can I go with you today?” she questions again, giving him those puppy eyes, hoping he'd say yes.“I wonder why you're so curious about my workplace now.” Jared narrowed his eyes at her, giving her a doubting face. “You’re up to something, are you?”“No,” she muttered but the way she looks away made him laugh. He reached for her face and kissed her on the lips before backing away. “I just want to know if you're surrounded by ladies! Fine ones for sure!” “Do you not trust your husband?” he asked, raising his brows at her. This turning of the table made her pout. “You're somehow owning me now. What's changed?” It surprised Rossie how cold he asked her that. Even though he was smiling at her, that questi

“If you think I’ll fall for that, you’re thinking wrong,” Ellisa said with a poker face. “Did Jared sign you up for another task?”“As I said I came here because you keep flashing in my head and I can't focus on work,” he replies. “So, I was bothering you, huh?” “In a way, yes.” It made her scoff. Now he made her more angry. “Can we talk about it without the ire on your face?”“Are you apologizing or you're here to force it that I should not be disappointed in you because I very much am!” she sneered. There was a moment of silence until he spoke, “Can we at least talk without these metal bars in between us? I feel like one of us is an inmate.” Somehow Ellisa finds that funny but she kept her blank expression, her eyes piercing at Levius. From the bright sun, he had a slight frown on his face but that didn't stop him from being a gorgeous devil.“I can't,” she says, sighing heavily. No worries matter how much she loves to go and talk to him about makeup, she has to sleep. “I have a

Jared just got home from work and he sees Rossie, a movie on the TV screen but she crashed out, her head on one of the armrests of the couch. He sees a tear rolling down from her eyes and it makes his heart ache. How can he be so cruel not explaining anything to her? Women overthink the worst. He tossed his iPad to the side, sat down the space on the edge of the couch, and reached out a finger to brush off the tear away. Doing so made Rossie frown in her sleep, moving her head a bit. It made him smile. Even in her sleep, she looks adorable to him. For a whole ten minutes, he stayed staring at his wife, memorizing how her lip was perfectly arced, her nose not pointy but it was still cute, her lashes not as long as his but curved so that she doesn't need them lifted and just the way she melts his heart. After that, he stood up and went to change his suit and tie with a white shirt and shorts.During dinner, Rossie kept her distance from Jared. He noticed that so he attempted to hold h

After a couple of minutes of staring at his gorgeous wife, his gaze finally softened. He knows she has a soft heart for people who has sincerity in their eyes. Now he sees her looking around and the way she swallows nothing makes him chuckle softly. "Why don't we just have breakfast and you can hate me after?" "Whatever." She rolls her eyes at him, taking a piece of the sandwich. It takes him wondering why she hasn't asked him about Lara yet. Of course, there was no way he'd tell her everything about the woman but he planned not to lie. It favors him but he doesn't want it to keep bothering her head too. He had also noticed how Rossie and Veronica are on some kind of team now. How his sister
