Chapter 48 : Miranda?
publish date:
2026-05-18 01:09:43There was no chance a man like that would settle down with her.
'Wait… why am I even thinking about this?' Rosie snapped herself out of the ridiculous fantasy immediately.
She already promised herself not to fall in love ever again.
Life was not some romantic novel.
There was no handsome young CEO from a powerful family waiting to sweep her away and love her sincerely.
That kind of thing only happened in fairy tales.
Reality was much harsher th

Rosie arrived at the office an hour later.The building was already busy with employees coming and going, but one thing immediately caught her attention.Sebastian’s car wasn’t parked in its usual VIP space.He must be out in a meeting, she thought.Taking the private lift upstairs, she stepped out onto the executive floor and was immediately spotted by Desiree, who was sitting behind her desk, typing furiously at what looked like an endless report.“Morning, Desiree,” Rosie greeted softly.Desiree glanced up.Her eyes widened.“Girl, what happened to you?”She shot out of her chair and hurried over.Before Rosie could react, Desiree had already taken hold of her arm and guided her towards the sofa.“Sit down.”“Desiree, I'm fine—”“No, you’re not. You look pale as a ghost.”Rosie froze.She'd wiped away the sweat before arriving, but apparently she hadn't done a very convincing job of hiding how shaken she still felt.“I-I’m alright,” Rosie insisted weakly. “I just skipped breakfast
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 97 : I just need details, obviously.
Charles swiftly brushed aside the uncomfortable feeling and replied, “She is a gold-digger. That's why she left me. She doesn't think my money is enough to satisfy her ambitions and pointless spending. Stop asking questions about her, Sebastian. You're beginning to irritate me.”“Sorry, Big brother...” Sebastian apologised, giving his shoulder a light pat. “I was only curious.”“Hm. Just don't make me angry whilst we're supposed to be enjoying ourselves.”Charles started the buggy again and continued driving.Sebastian stared out across the vast green course, but his thoughts were elsewhere.He already suspected his brother was lying about Rosie being a gold-digger. Charles had never tolerated women who chased money. He used them, discarded them, and moved on without a second thought. Even Miranda had never been anything more than a convenience.So why had Rosie been different?If Rosie isn't a gold-digger, then why did she leave?His jaw tightened.Was it really abuse? Did my brother
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 96 : It's unusual seeing you without a woman hanging off your arm.
For the briefest moment, Sebastian's eyes widened.Then the expression vanished.Years ago, Charles would have missed it. Now, he missed very little.Sebastian forced himself to relax.His brother's attention to detail was unsettling. Charles had noticed a tie, a pair of cufflinks and a colour palette, then somehow traced them back to Rosie.It was a reminder of exactly who he was dealing with.The Master of the Sterling family hadn't built his reputation by being careless.Sebastian slowed his breathing and offered an awkward smile."That's a bit embarrassing to explain, Big Brother."Charles arched a brow."Embarrassing how?""When I was growing up, who was it that dressed me for every formal event?"Charles frowned slightly."Rosie.""Exactly."Sebastian spread his hands."School functions, charity dinners, family parties. Half the time I didn't even choose what I wore. Rosie did."Charles remained silent."So I suppose I got used to that sort of style," Sebastian continued. "When
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 95 : You're not hiding my wife and daughter, are you?
Charles studied Sebastian across the desk.On the surface, his younger brother looked perfectly composed. Relaxed shoulders. Steady gaze. Not a flicker of uncertainty.But Charles knew him too well.Every so often, Sebastian took a shallow breath before speaking. A tiny tell, barely noticeable unless you were looking for it.He was nervous.Interesting.Perhaps there was more truth to Charles's suspicions than he'd first thought.The possibility that Sebastian harboured ambitions of his own wasn't remotely alarming. If anything, Charles found it amusing.If Sebastian wanted influence within the Sterling empire, he could have it. If he wanted a larger share of the family businesses, Charles would hardly object. The company was vast enough for both of them.They were brothers.And Sebastian had already proven he could build something successful without relying on the Sterling name.All he had to do was ask.Instead, he seemed determined to play a game.To prove something.Charles suppre
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 94 : Do you think I’m stupid?
Charles remained staring into the fireplace long after the divorce papers had turned to ash.The knock at the study door pulled him from his thoughts.His expression hardened automatically. “Who is it?”“Big brother, it's me.”Sebastian.The tension in Charles's shoulders eased at once.A genuine smile touched his face as he crossed the room and opened the door.“Sebastian.”Before he could say anything else, Sebastian stepped forward and wrapped him in a brief hug.“Big brother!”Charles blinked in surprise.Even after all these years, his younger brother still had moments of behaving like an overgrown puppy.He patted Sebastian's back.“You're earlier than I expected.”“Traffic was lighter than I thought it'd be.”Sebastian stepped inside, and Charles gestured towards the chair opposite his desk.“Sit down.”Once they were both settled, Charles found himself relaxing for the first time all morning.It was always easier when Sebastian was around.His younger brother had been a handfu
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 93 : Let's see how long you survive when I destroy every path left open to you, Rosemary Seo
Charles selected his suit, tie, shirt, trousers, cufflinks and shoes with growing irritation.He hated doing this himself.It was exactly the sort of mundane task that should have been handled by someone else—someone paid to anticipate his needs before he voiced them. Yet every replacement he'd hired had failed spectacularly.Every single one except Rosie.And Rosie was currently hiding from him, most likely in some wealthy old man's bed.His jaw tightened.“This is supposed to be her job,” he muttered. “Ungrateful woman. She has no idea how much I did for her.”As much as he despised admitting it, Rosie had managed the mansion flawlessly.Everything had run smoothly when she was there.Now it didn't.The head maid wasn't half as competent, and every week seemed to bring another problem requiring his attention. Between running Sterling Holdings and dealing with endless household inefficiencies, Charles found himself irritated from the moment he woke up.He could have moved into one of
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 19 : You have told him you’re married, I assume?
Rosie, Izzie, and Desiree arrived at The Grey Hut just as the early evening crowd began to gather.Though they had made no reservation, fortune—or rather familiarity—was on their side.“Rosie!”Desmond appeared almost at once, his face lighting with unmistakable warmth as he approached. He clasped
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 3 : “Those heels look dangerous.”
Rosie scarcely realised she had begun to run until the corridor stretched before her like something endless, her heels striking sharply against the marble as though urging her forward. Tears blurred her vision, spilling freely now, unchecked and unwelcome.This family… they’re all monsters.The tho
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 2 : “Reminds me of a certain crazy night in my car back in college—do you?”
Her fingers trembled as she dialled his number.He picked up almost immediately.“Yes?”“Where is my daughter?” Rosie demanded.A soft chuckle. “You mean our daughter?”Her jaw tightened. “Don’t play games with me, Charles.”“She’s fine,” he said casually. “We’re at the toy store. She’s picking wha
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 1 : “I want a divorce. Sign the papers!”
Rosie sat at the dining table, the candlelight flickering softly against untouched plates. The roasted chicken—Isabella’s favourite—had long since gone cold.She glanced at the clock.Nine o’clock.Charles Sterling was not home.He had promised. He had promised their daughter he would return before
