Can’t Win Me Back

Alyssa said, "Silas, you're stuffing yourself silly! Rose hasn't even taken a bite because she is busy taking care of you. Is this how you care for her?"
Alyssa savored the prawns and fish Jasper had prepared for her. Her eyes widened. "Silas, if you mistreat Rose in any way, I'll introduce her to Liam, Axel, and Cyrus. We'll see if you can still eat like that then!"
Silas choked, sputtering in terror, nearly dropping his plate.
Rose blushed and patted his back gently. Then, she offered him her water.
"Madam, please stop teasing me."
"R-Rose, cough. I'm sorry," Silas stammered, quickly putting some food on Rose's plate. His face flushed red, on the verge of tears. "It's my first time being a boyfriend. Please don't be mad I haven't been taking care of you. Give me some time. I'll learn, slowly... no, quickly, as fast as I can!"
Rose, slightly embarrassed, pursed her lips. She playfully poked his chest.
"There's no rush, Silas. We have plenty of time."

"Who?"
"Josh's wife, Clarissa."
Alyssa and Jasper were both shocked to hear that. "Why was she at your workshop?" they asked in unison.
"She wants me to design an evening gown for her."
Rose frowned as fear lingered within her. "But that wasn't the point. You won't believe how she had reacted.
"She knelt before me and wept when I informed her that I only accept appointments and don't have ready-made items available. All because she wanted an evening gown on the spot!"
Alyssa widened her eyes in disbelief.
Silas gazed at Rose with admiration, resting his face on his hand. "Rosie, even the matriarch of the Schmidt family bowed to you. You're truly incredible. I love it."

"Josh, that bastard! He doesn't deserve to live!"
Violence was never tolerated by Alyssa, but this level of cruelty was unforgivable.
