Chapter 123 Stupid and emotional
Rose was having a tough time. She seemed to have fallen into a bad spell as everything was going against her.
To better cope with the pressure, she went to a high-end pub and started drinking alone in a private room.
Romeo had finally found his chance after waiting around for months.
He went inside disguised as a waiter and started flirting with Rose.
Rose told him off and asked him to leave her alone. She was visibly enraged at being hit by a lowly waiter.
“You filthy piece of shit! How dare you flirt with me? Where’s your manager? I will get you fired and jailed for this insolence.” She fumed and started cursing.
Romeo laughed and removed his disguise.
All of Rose’s protests died down as she looked at his familiar face that had grown chubbier with a double chin and the visible potbelly which was not that different from that of Lester’s.
“What? What are you doing here?” She stammered, unable to form coherent words.
“Why? My darling ex-wife, I missed you.” Romeo leered at her. Her deception of sending him away with the fake necklace while selling the original at 20 billion was fresh in his mind. He would never let her live it down. But it would spoil the fun if he mentioned it right away.
“Why are you in P city? You were never supposed to come back.” Rose felt an unprecedented panic on seeing him. There was something about the timing of things that made her lose her senses.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Being half drunk and in a bad mood, her tone was rather disdainful and accusing which made Romeo angrier. But it was not enough to suppress his lust.
Not wanting to talk to her anymore, he went up to her and pushed her on the couch. He pinned her down and kissed her violently suppressing all her protests.
They had been married for years, after all, Romeo knew very well how to make her submit and get her into the mood.
Soon enough only the sounds of groans and moans came from the private room.
The erotic sound which was not contained by the room, which had not been soundproof, to begin with, would have made anyone redden in shame.
Lester would never believe the wife he had thought as virtuous and innocent could be so licentious.
Rose, who had been restrained with Lester to maintain a facade and give him a sense of superiority for almost two decades, was very unrestrained and vented all her pent-up desires and all other emotions.
In the end, it was Romeo who was tired out while Rose kept on urging him on.
They were at it for more than two hours and when they were done, Rose felt alive for the first time for a very long time. It was certainly the happiest and most content she had been since Liliana had made an appearance back in P city.
She laid on top of Romeo, spent and sated, and with newfound clarity.
However, when the euphoria died down, the recklessness of the entire thing came crashing down on her.
They were in a high-end bar and the room she had taken was not soundproof. Hence, there was no doubt that their rendezvous was overheard by anyone who had passed by or the people in adjacent rooms.
She had to be careful in leaving the bar and had to ensure she erased all traces of her being in that bar.
It would be the end of her luxurious life if Lester ever found out that she had cheated on him.
Rose and Romeo had done extensive research on Lester before they had trapped him. And she had been married to him for over two decades.
Rose knew Lester very well.
He was a petty man with a big ego and not all that much capability. He thrived on his sense of superiority and would never bear being cheated on.
She had used his inferiority to cast doubt in his heart and separate him from his first wife. If he knew she had cheated on him, he would make her life miserable and Lydia would suffer as well.
When she had calmed down, she fixed her clothes and woke Romeo up.
Together they made plans to erase all traces of what had happened in that room.
To Rose’s dismay, Romeo, however, wanted to continue their affair and was asking for money as well.
Rose knew she did not have it in her to defy Romeo. After all those years, Romeo still knew how to push her buttons. And Romeo did not have anything to lose while her entire life was at stake. Rose understood the dynamics well.
Having no choice, she agreed to most of Romeo’s conditions, not that she needed all that convincing. That evening had opened up a new sense of excitement and ecstasy within her and she was unable to resist. Romeo knew this very well.
Finally, they managed to escape from there and Romeo pretended to be a waiter again to erase some of the surveillance records and Rose’s booking records.
Unbeknownst to both, however, the entire fling had been filmed by Liliana’s men.
