33. Day Out With Sebastian
“If those reports are not on my desk by the time I get to the office, we will have to rethink your position, Agatha.” I listen to Sebastian as his phone rings for the millionth time. They needed him in every aspect of his job as a CEO, and he made it look so easy. I never realised it before, but my husband was an incredibly busy man. And yet, somehow, he always made time for me. Not just today, but before when he would pop home to bicker with me for some unknown reason.
The thought alone makes me smile and I move over to his side of the car, straddling him. There was no other way to cuddle in the Phantom because of the middle barrier, so I took advantage of this.
Sebastian looks up at me with wide eyes and I lean down to nuzzle him while planting gentle kisses on his neck. He stifled a groan, and I smiled against his skin. “Thank you, I will see you then,” He says ending the call, and I knew I was going to get it.
He pushes the button to

Why was he looking at me like that? Annabelle was chatting away, and she was clearly in love, yet his eyes were on me. I offer him a kind smile, then break his gaze and focus on the man sitting opposite me. Sebastian sounds like he was putting out yet another fire at Dumont Enterprises, his voice was low but extremely firm. “I’m so sorry about that, love.” He says as he pockets his phone and looks at me. “Duty calls, I understand.” The more I watch him, the more I fall in love. “Well, that was Irene, my PA. My day isn’t too busy, but I have moved the meeting with The Somersetts to 8am this morning, and that’s,” he says as he looks at his Patek Philippe timepiece, “in half an hour’s time so we had better finish up here if you wish to see your husband in action.” He finishes with a wink that made me giggle. I am feeling all giddy inside and polish off my breakfast. “You are certain you want to spend the day with me, Elena?” Sebastian asks as he
The CEO's Second Choice 35. The Merger and Unwanted Thoughts
Sebastian opens the door leading into the boardroom and I brace myself as my eyes fall on the blonde haired, blue eyed Adonis sitting at the table. He turns his head and looks at my husband with an impassive stare - until his eyes fall on me.Surprise registers on his face as he takes me in, and I could feel the anger bristling from Sebastian while he leads me inside. “I hope you haven’t been waiting long, Elijah, Isla.” He shakes Elijah’s hands as well as Isla’s. I look at Sebastian’s ex love and notice the longing in her eyes as she stared at him.“Not at all, Sebastian. I am sure you wish to get this over with; as am I. So, let us start.” Elijah says in an all business-like voice, not the carefree voice he presented to me in the coffee shop.“Very well. I hope you won’t mind my wife sitting in on this meeting. She wishes to gain some corporate knowledge and what better way to start than with a merger
The CEO's Second Choice 36. Early Morning Lovin'
SebastianI gaze down at Elena as she sleeps and my heart just feels full. She had chosen me, out of everything else, she had chosen me. Today I felt like the most powerful man alive with her by my side. She made me feel proud when I was in my meetings, and I could feel the stares of envy pointed straight at me. She was my Rebellious Heiress, my Queen.She suddenly stirs and moves her head to the side while mumbling something incoherent, and a smile spreads over my face. Elena was the most beautiful woman in the world and I had the privilege of now calling her my wife, my real wife. Her words of acceptance still on repeat in my head, as well as her calling out my name in ecstasy.Last night was beyond what I can put into coherent words. It was beautiful; it was passionate and dare I say; we made love. She made me feel like no other woman has before; she made me feel loved. I am never letting her slip through my fingers again; Elena is the love o
The CEO's Second Choice 37. Ballgowns and Self Acceptance
“Elena! Lovely seeing you again!” Came the cheery voice of Meghan as she saunters into the villa. She was dragging a garment rack behind her before she enveloped me in a hug. Her Dior scent was lovely, and it brought a smile to my face. “Lovely to see you as well, Meghan. How was the flight over?” I ask her, and we make polite conversation. We had bonded over the dress design, and I quite liked her. “You need to see how this dress turned out! Oh, you will be in absolute love!” She says with excitement to her voice that causes me to get hyped up as well. We walked over to the garment rack and as she unzipped the dress, my heart rate rose. It wasn’t just beautiful, it was exquisite! The rose gold shimmered in the light sweetheart neckline that would amplify my modest bosom, and the long sleeved shawl/bolero with Queen Anne neckline would keep the chill away. The dress had me melting!
The CEO's Second Choice 38. The Midford Winter Ball
The Midford Winter Ball was always the last event before Social Season kicked off. They would expect me to attend all these events as a Dumont Representative, and somehow, I knew I could do it. “By the way, love, I thought you might want to know that Sarah’s family hosts this ball. She is a Midford.” He says, and my eyes widen at this. Sarah Midford? So not only did Sebastian screw around with his business partner, she was a Midford as well. This bothers me some, as he could easily have married her instead of me. Where I was literally royalty, she had a powerful name and family. They hailed from Australia and settled here over ten years ago. They did not have the same pull as The Wiltshires or Dumonts, but the name demanded respect. “Why didn’t you settle for someone like Sarah, Sebastian?” I blurt out without thinking, and I see the scowl forming on his face. Damnit, I surely know how to put my foot in it. He sighs. “Because as much as Sarah and I shared a b

Elijah!I take in his blonde hair that had fallen out of the ponytail he had it in, and his bloody knuckles from punching Nicholas, who was now curled up in a ball on the floor. Elijah looks at me, then looks away as he takes off his suit jacket. He walks towards me with downcast eyes and covers up my torn dress.I could do nothing but stare at him in a daze while my tears kept on falling. Nicholas had sexually harassed me and was about to do God knows what if Elijah didn’t step in? I couldn’t help it. I threw myself into his arms and he held me as I sobbed for my lost dignity. “Shh, it’s okay, Elena. He will not get away with this.” Elijah says, trying to console me as I wept.Then he reached into his pants pocket and pulled out his phone. “Sebastian, I need you to come to the hall leading to the ladies’ room. Something has happened.” He says, then pockets his phone again.The reality of his
The CEO's Second Choice 40. Oxford Open Day
It was the Oxford Open Day, and I was a ball of unrepressed nerves. The last month has been extremely hectic in terms of my mental health and I finally realise now that what happened to me was not my fault. Nicholas has been a sexual predator since high school, and after my story hits the news and media outlets, so many other girls have come forward with their own stories, some even with stories that played out while I was still with him.It seems I started a #MeToo movement among the wealthy upper class.As it turns out, there was no video footage of what occurred between Nicholas and I. It had been erased but Sebastian and Elijah’s statements coupled with my torn dress and photos of my bruises were enough to prosecute him. But Anabelle’s statement was what surprised us all; what she had to say cemented Nicholas’ fate, and the Addington's became pariahs in the social circles. Sebastian financially crippled them by causing their stocks to drop. I woul
The CEO's Second Choice 41. Never Touch Me Again
I walk up to Elijah at the end of the lecture with Anabelle in tow and shake my head. “Very sneaky, Mr Somersett. Why didn’t you tell me you were the alumni delivering the lecture this morning?” I ask, and he tries to hide his smile. “I guess I wanted to surprise you. Did it work?”Did it work? More than.“Well, I was certainly surprised, yes. Your lecture was very well thought out and spoken, I think I might just take this course after all.” I say and I see him turn serious at this. “It’s not easy though, Elena. Exeter will test you proficiently, and if you fail, it takes quite a while to come back from it.” He says, and I am taken back at the honesty of his words. Surely it wasn’t that difficult?“Are you speaking from experience, or are you only trying to scare me from applying?” I ask him, crossing my arms in front of me, “Anabelle has enrolled, and she is extremely happy here.
