(Sebastian’s POV).I did not expect Suzanne would come to my office building that morning. I had made it clear for her not to come to see me for personal matters at the office. She broke the rules. And I was furious about it.She wanted more money to invest in a project that I knew was not going to be successful. For years I have been supporting her family’s business and invested money that had no return.All was for one reason. Saving my son.After I had refused to give her the money, she threatened to stop giving her blood for my son. And I was given a month to prepare for the wedding that she had planned for us, if I ever needed her blood transfusion again.What a morning!Her presence had spoilt my mood to carry on my day in the office. How I wish I could cut that invisible rope Suzanne had tied around my neck. I could not believe that I had to marry her.Taking my phone out from my pocket, I made a call to the doctor that was in charge to find a cure for my son. One of it involv
(Sebastian’s POV).I blocked her way not allowing her to get past me. Letting out a slight growl, I placed my hand at the wall behind her head. “I hired you. I paid you. All to work in getting us a win for this f*cking defamation case. Not to waste time on having fun and flirting with my staff”“Fun? Flirting?” she asked without looking or genuinely smiling at me.I wondered why she could get along well with Westin and my legal team. Laughing and smiling. Flipping her hair showing her long and smooth looking neck.But her face turned sour when I was in presence. And the fact that she could hardly look at me, angered me much.She slides her body away from me and sighed, “Define fun to you? Did you not see I was working with your legal team and Westin? I do not think that was fun, Mr Strauss. And flirting is something in your own imagination. Say that again, I would end up suing you”Hold on. She called Westin by his name and called me Mr Strauss?I took one deep breath and stroke my c
(Sebastian’s POV).After the call I received from Dr Kwan, the news about my son’s deteriorating health was something I could not accept. Suzanne’s blood was again needed for temporary measures.With heavy heart, I had to call her and apologise. Needed her blood to get my son healthy again. It was not something I was proud of to do.We went to Sebastian’s Restaurant. Not mine, unfortunately. It was one of the best restaurants in Emerald City. Getting a table during peak hours, was not easy.But I knew the owner. A table would always be there for me.Suzanne was all smile when she came to meet me at the entrance of the restaurant. A peck on my cheeks were given by her. While she looked happy, I looked bored.“I knew you would call. Our fate is intertwined. You just need to accept it. You need me, Sebastian” she touched my arm but I gently removed her hand.“Let’s just get it over with. I’ll pass you the money you want and I need you to go to the Hospital immediately. My son will be th
(Akira’s POV).At the next day, I came early to work at the office hoping not to bump into Sebastian. I heard he would usually come a little late to work as he would prefer to spend time with Samuel before the boy goes to school.That was pretty sweet to know about.Although Sebastian was said to be an arrogant man that was difficult to deal with, he was a different man when it comes to his son. My son.Well, on the flip side, Henry said it would not be easy to get full custody for my boy as Sebastian was said to be a good father material. And my son loved him very much.With me who had been absent from Samuel’s life, my case to get custody of my son was not currently be in favour of me.But I would find a way!For seven years, Sebastian had the luxury to be with my son. It was my turn to do so.“Good morning, Miss West” I yelped hearing someone greeted me before I opened the door to my luxurious looking office room. I did not know where he came from all of a sudden.“Good morning. U
(Akira’s POV).I hid behind a concrete wall, shielding myself from being shot at. The shots were coming from many angles. I could guess there were at least two of them shooting at me.Was it meant for a warning?If they were hired to kill me, I would be dead long ago. I had nothing on me to defend myself except for the walls of the room that was obviously made from cheap materials.It felt as if they wanted to hurt me but not to kill me. If they wanted to kill me, it would not be long for them to come to the room that I was at and shoot me on the head point blank.Earlier when I had arrived at the Motel, my colleague Jacob had sensed something was rather odd about this place. There were only two persons present at the whole Motel it seemed. One was the well-dressed receptionist woman and the other was supposed to be the one called MachoMan.The name Ron was used to rent out the room stayed by MachoMan. There was not much details about this man named Ron. Molly said it seemed he wante
(Akira’s POV).“What’s wrong with you?” I asked seeing Sebastian walking in a weird way. I hid a smile as I saw him groan in pain when he sat on a chair. Someone must have kicked his balls.“Shut up, Akira” he said and fixed his pants, “I thought you were going to die. I came here as fast as I could. A little thank you would be nice”He was mumbling his words without looking at me. “Awww, you cared for me. That’s cute”I chuckled and pushed my attacker’s face back down on the wooden floor, “I can take care of myself, Mr Strauss”“You disobeyed my order, Akira. If only you listened to me, this would not happen!” He scoffed and looked away while making some calls. “Stubborn woman”I rolled my eyes and pushed the gun closer to my attacker’s head to stop him from moving too much. Then, the broken door to the room burst open. I smiled seeing who stood at the door, “Westin. You came?”I looked from Westin and Sebastian. The latter was not liking me looking friendly with Westin at all.Was
(Sebastian’s POV).Seeing the caller ID being Suzanne, I had rejected her calls twice. I was not in the mood to talk to her. My mind was focused on finding Ron to get the bottom of things.Firstly, I needed to know why was he having a picture of my son on the board in his room?I did not want my son in his revenge plan. I would make sure of it. If he ever got close to my son, I would end Ron’s life!‘RING! RING!’Again, that b*tch was calling me. I was about to switch off my phone not wanting to see her name flashing on the screen of my car.“You can answer her call. It looks urgent” Akira said and gave me a half smile. “Pretend I’m not here”Well, it could be urgent. It could be about Samuel. So, I had answered it in an annoyed tone, “What?”“Sebastian, what took you so long to answer?”“Make it quick. What do you want?”“Well, I just call to remind you about our appointment with the wedding planner tomorrow. Don’t forget to show up at the boutique”“I’m busy. Not tomorrow”“But we
(Sebastian’s POV).I felt her trembling hand holding mine. Before she let go of it, I held her hand back and whispered while looking at her pretty face. Seated closely next to her, my heart skipped a beat.I was trying very hard to calm my breathing when I spoke my words, “Stay in the car. Call Westin. Send him our location. I’m going in”“Sebastian, it is not safe” she said before I moved to exit the car leaving her behind.Outside, I exhaled my breath sharply. It has been a while since a woman made me feel that nervous when I was around her. I needed to get her out of my head. Having a romantic relationship with my lawyer would definitely be a bad thing to do.I then removed my gun from my pocket and moved quietly towards the warehouse.The lock to the entrance door seemed broken. Someone had forced entry into the building. At the side of the building, I could see Ron’s superbike parked behind a large tree.Not many knew about this place as it was owned by my uncle William. It was
