Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 338

She might as well claim so. "Yeah. So what if I like him?"

Jay's indifferent expression shattered instantly into hideous pieces.

"Have I indulged you too much, Rose Loyle? Is that why you've become so unruly?" His hand quickly reached for the back of her head, tugging hard to leave a painful tinge on her scalp.

With Rose forced to tilt her head back, his lips domineeringly attacked forward.

Rose's scalp was numb with pain as tears fell from her eyes.

Cold tears dripped onto the back of his hand like an ice shard into raging flames.

Slowly, Jay let her go. Staring back at the infuriation in her eyes, the raging fire within him quelled as every chunk of ice seemed to rid his heart of its warmth.

"Get out," He turned and rebuked.

Rose fled.

At the shut of the door, worry bled uncontrollably into Jay's violent eyes.

Like a wild beast with its mouth wide open, the night

threatened to swallow everything in its wake before conceding.

On the pedestrian walk was a petite figure. It was aimlessly floating and swaying about as it walked bleakly with its arms wound tightly around itself.

A tall figure followed behind, not too far nor too close.

The figure accompanied her all the way to Bell Enterprises' Central Building. It stood soullessly on the same spot even as it watched her enter the building safely. Central Building, the president's lounge.

Standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows, Sean stared with his arms crossed at the figure downstairs.

Mocking and sarcasm flared in his gaze. "Oh, Master Ares. Didn't you know the beauty of Helen caused the downfall of Troy?"

"Mr. Bell." Rose pushed open the doors.

"You were looking for me?"

Sean turned around to find Rose with reddened eyes." Did he bully you?"

Rose remained silent.

Puzzled, Sean glanced again at the ice sculpture downstairs.

"Did you two fight?"

Rose nodded.

"Who won?" Sean asked evilly.

He was not a busybody by nature, but he could not help the curiosity that came at the sight of both of them suffering such damage. Angry, Rose glared at him.

Sean laughed drily. "Fine, forget I asked. You don't look so good, so I'll assume he won then!"

Rose tore off the disguise she wore in front of Jay." Isn't this how love works? Whoever loves more loses."

Sparing the silhouette downstairs, Sean could never believe the same man who had never once lost when it came to business would end up losing when it came to love.

His gaze fell back on Rose's barren and decadent expression as he marveled at the magic that was destiny and fate.

He had followed her here, yet she did not turn back at all.

Had she turned around, it might not end up to be such a bittersweet love story that was filled to the brim with twists. "You're not right for each other." He concluded.

Rose slowly walked over and Sean immediately closed the curtains, his reflection overlapping hers on the thin fabric. "I know we're not right for each other." She forced out

painfully.

Sean was speechless,

Did a man like Jay need to marry a woman who was right for him?

Sean smiled. "And here we have another silly woman mad for love."

His smile quickly turned sour and bitter. "Forget him, Rose."

"Don't walk the same path my mother did. Giving her all for a man... Death became her only solace when he failed her."

The words were like salt rubbing on Rose's wounds." I'll do my best to forget him."
