CHAPTER 105 SEBASTIAN’S POV Days and weeks went by. I wasn’t at the castle much because I was busy with the lawsuit I filed against that detective lady and her minions for falsely accusing me of Catherine’s death and treating me badly in that cell while at their station. At first, I didn’t want to sue them or pursue the case, but that letter Catherine’s mum sent me filled me with rage and pushed me to do it. With the help of the Association of Alpha Kings and some of the very best lawyers in the kingdom, I fought fiercely and won the legal battle. The detective lady was demoted to the lowest rank in her field of work, her minions suspended long term and those two policemen who mistreated me in the cell were dismissed from work and their badges revoked. Which meant they couldn’t work as police anywhere else in the world. Plus, they will offer a public apology in tomorrow’s newspaper for the damage to my reputation. Revenge has never tasted sweeter. I dod tell them they'll pay
CHAPTER 106BRIANNA’S POVSebastian carried me in his arms against my wish to my room like a programmed robot. I tried beating him off but he won’t budge or even listen to my pleas. I know it’s been a month. I know Catherine has been buried even though he didn’t attend the funeral for reasons I still didn’t know about. But I feel I still need more time. For some reason, I was…scared. Scared I won’t be able to return the love he wanted to show me. Scared I won’t live up to expectations. Scared that my past life might just pop up like a virus and infect what we were going to share. Scared the gap between us was too wide. Scared…I wasn’t good enough for him.But I didn’t know how to tell him all that. I didn’t want to tell him at all. No doubt he’ll get pissed and feel like I’m pushing him away despite all his efforts. The last thing I want is to push him away again and lose him. I’d be crazy if I lost him. I’ll lose my sense of living if I give him up. He is the rarest of gems, and I
CHAPTER 107BRIANNA’S POVSebastian chased after me as I ran into the balcony. I quickly shut the tinted glass doors behind me so he couldn’t get to me. He banged against the door so hard I feared it might not be too strong to withstand the pressure or hold him off for long. “Brianna!” He shouted my name in alarm, jerking hard on the handle of the door. “Brianna….please open the door. Don’t do this to me…Let me in. I know it’s not easy. But I’m here. I’m always here for you. I don’t know what’s happening to you but please let me help you with it…Let me help you with whatever you’re going through. Please…”I brought my hand over my mouth to cage the sobs that shook me like an earthquake. To cage the intense outburst of emotions flooding inside me and threatening to rip me to shreds as I stepped away from the door as if scared of it.It wasn’t until my back came in contact with the rail behind me that I remembered I was on the third-floor balcony of the castle. I almost lost my balan
CHAPTER 108 SEBASTIAN’S POV My rage and frustration-filled gaze at her softened the moment she revealed I wasn’t the problem. That Hermes was. “Hermes?” I uttered in disbelief, my features scrunching up. “Yes,” she mumbled. Her lips pressed firmly together as she tried to speak from the ocean of sobs and whimpers racking her insides. “That bastard caused me a great deal of pain….he broke me and now, I can’t live my life without those memories replaying in my head and hunting me. It hurts…it fucking hurts Sebastian. I want to forget….I want to stop thinking about them but I don’t know how…” She gave into the compulsive sobs that shook her like a violent tremor, letting it all out. She was shaken, unable to maintain a steady control. The moment I noticed, I rushed and held her close, preventing her from crumpling to the floor. I let her take refuge in my body as she feebly wrapped her hands around me. Her sharp intake of breath filled the room and her outburst of emotion
CHAPTER 109BRIANNA’S POVI didn’t know what Sebastian wanted to show me. But whatever it is, I know it will go a long way in helping me get through this shit I was stuck in. He was positive it would work. And I believe him with all my heart.We dressed in bathing robes as he suggested even though I didn’t get why. I was worried the other maids would see us as we made our way out of my room to his room.I suggested we wait a little and sneak out so they won’t see us. But he assured me they wouldn’t because they had all retired to their quarters and the ones coming from town had gone back already. Fortunately, he was right. I didn’t see anyone of them along the way. Thank goodness. I breathed out in relief knowing that.We entered and Sebastian had me sit on a plush cushioned bench by the leg of the bed while he searched through the drawers of the nightstand for something. I couldn’t wait to see what it was. As I waited for him, I looked around the room and marvelled as I took in its
CHAPTER 110SEBASTIAN’S POVI felt a pillow land roughly on my face, causing me to jolt from the bed as if electrocuted. My eyes snapped open only to see Brianna standing a few meters away from the leg of the bed, her hand on her lips as she tried to hold back her giggles.My eyes flickered in confusion as I couldn’t understand why she threw a pillow at me and stood there giggling. What was so funny? It was then I noticed she was wearing my oversized shirt. My eyes popped wide open, enough to shake off any remaining drowsiness in me. That wasn’t just any shirt but the customized birthday shirt my uncle made for me on my 14th birthday. It had my big smiley face in the centre and was so big it could fit an elephant. My uncle, Joe from my mother’s side wanted me to wear it for my birthday party. My parents supported the idea because they thought it was cute and didn’t see anything wrong with it. But I didn’t wear it because it was too big on my skinny self then and worse of all, embar
CHAPTER 111SEBASTIAN’S POV“But how did you manage to find it? I made sure to hide them well,” I couldn’t help but ask.“I was cold or maybe because I just wanted to wear your clothes and see how good I look in them,” she squeaked, pulling an innocent face. “Most of the clothes on the hanger were your suits and formal wear. So I checked the back of your closet and saw a box where I found one of them. There were many of them.”“You should told me you were cold,” I said and scolded her with a kiss. “What am I here for? I would have been more than glad to warm you up.”“Well you can warm me up now,” she smiled at me over seductively. Standing on tiptoes, she took control and started kissing me as much as I was kissing her. The mere touch of her lips on mine and her hand on my face sent a warming shiver racing through me. My cock twitched out of excitement. I held her closer, my hardening cock scraping against her lower, realizing that I wanted more of her. Though we spent long hours
CHAPTER 112BRIANNA’S POVI don’t think I have ever been so conscious of my looks as I stared at my reflection in the full-length mirror in front of me. I must admit I looked divine. The last time I looked this good was when Sebastian and I went to that royal couples’ night out party that turned into a disasterThough I didn’t see it as necessary and told him not to bother, Sebastian stubbornly had one of the maids take me shopping for clothes, to a salon to get my hair done, and to a spa for a full body massage session and beauty treatment. It was my first time going to a spa and the experience was…relaxing and refreshing. I enjoyed it.Sebastian wanted everything and everyone to be perfect for his uncle’s visit. He wanted me to meet him. At first, I was overwhelmed with the idea. I wasn’t that okay with it. I felt he was moving too fast.Catherine just passed away. And from what he told me, she and his uncle were fond of each other. We just got together and were still figuring thin
