(Sebastian’s POV).I watched her walked out from the Suite without once she had turned around to look at me. For some reason I did not understand, I wanted her to turn around and begged for me to take her back.But she left me. She did not even fight to stay with me like how other women would do.“Bastian, what have you done?” I heard Westin spoke to me. There were only Westin and I left in the lounge area. I had guessed the rest had moved away after hearing me shout at Akira.Perhaps, they were afraid of me. I did not know what came to my head. I was angry at a lot of things.I was angry at the situation for my son. The doctors only gave him a few months left to live.I could not let it happen. I could not lose my baby boy.I closed my eyes and exhaled slowly. “She left us, Westin. Go find us another lawyer”“Are you out of your mind? She is the best we have. Akira found us a way to win this case. We are so close in winning. Bastian –”“Shut up, Westin! I said get another lawyer!”“
(Author’s POV).A day has passed.The weather forecast had predicted the day to be a sunny day with a possibility of rain. Not at all where the prediction was all the time completely accurate.What started as drizzles of rain had become more intense. Dark clouds were beginning to appear. People ran for cover, protecting themselves from what was coming next.A superbike parked at a space near the Lux Apartment. Wearing a full gear and a helmet, eyes were on the rider. It was a rare occasion to see a woman riding a superbike at the neighbourhood, especially one who was an attractive looking woman.Fixing her blonde hair let loose from a ponytail, she sighed looking at the building where she hoped not to be at on that day. But a friend was in need of her help.Pressing the key code to enter the main door of the apartment, the woman walked into the luxurious looking lobby where a man had greeted her, “Good morning, Miss. Are you new here?”A man who she thought to be the receptionist gre
(Sebastian’s POV).I stood next to my car with my driver holding the umbrella for me. The rain was pissing down on me, wetting my suit, my shoes and now my face.And where the f*ck was Akira?!I had shouted to call her name several times. I knew she could hear me. I knew she was ignoring me on purpose.When I saw a silhouette that looked like her peeping from her balcony, I smiled.“You can try hide anywhere from me, Akira. But I will find you! Get down here!” I had shouted at her and was sure the whole neighbourhood could hear my voice.Did I care? None at all.I then called her number several times. I was not going to give up until I see her that day.When she finally answered my call, I frowned hearing her shout at me, “What?!”I took a deep breath trying to calm my anger on her. She was making it difficult for me. It was bad enough that Westin made me come all the way to her apartment to talk to her. Now, she was playing hard to get.I had no other choice. She was not answering m
(Akira’s POV).I stood facing Sebastian who was looking at me with a strange expression.I rolled my eyes in annoyance and then looked at David who was standing behind Sebastian. “I won’t be long, David. I’ll see you later”Sebastian smirked at me and took a glance at David, “You are going to regret being with him. Don’t come crying about it”I raised my hand to stop David from starting a fight with Sebastian, “David, I need to speak with Mr Strauss, In private. I’ll be fine”David walked towards me and whispered, “I’ll wait for you with Nedim, over there”“Are you two lovebirds done? I don’t have time for this sh*t! Akira, I’m here for one reason. I need answers!” Sebastian shouted at me. I gestured for David to get away from us. I wanted to have that chat with Sebastian to end this misery.“Four minutes, Mr Strauss”“I deserve more than your four damn minutes. I paid you to be my lawyer and you still owe me that”“You paid for my company’s service, Mr Strauss. And if you could reca
(Sebastian’s POV).The dark sky was lit with the stars up above. The sky was aglow that stretched to what I would say as infinity. Beautiful was an understatement.I sat in my car with the roof down, feeling the cool breeze of the night. Comfort and peace.Closing my eyes for a moment, I recalled what my hypnotherapist said to me after our first session. I might experience some side effects. Headaches and drowsiness were one of them.At that moment, I was wondering on whether it was the effect of the hypnosis session or the fact that I had to fake my interest to attend Suzanne’s grandfather’s birthday party. It was most likely the latter.I was told that hypnosis session was a safe experience. In fact, several of our daily activities could be associated with hypnosis such as when we were meditating, reading or daydreaming.But on the flip side, it could lead us to having false memories.Our memory itself could be molded into something else which did not exist. A wrong question could
(Sebastian’s POV).I grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the side of a wall. Blocking her way with my hands on the side of her head, I said in anger, “Why Akira? Why David?!”“What is wrong with you? Get off me” she tried to push me back with her hands on my chest. But I was not going to let her go. Not yet.I had so many questions to ask her. There were so many things about her that had bothered me much. I needed to know why.“Why are you here, Akira? Why are you with David? Tell me, why him?”“What are you talking about, Sebastian? Why does it bother you much that I’m dating David?” she looked into my eyes and I could sense she was nervous, “You have Suzanne in your life. There may be women out there wanting to be your mistress, but that is not me, Sebastian. It would never be me”Mistress? What made her think I want her to be my mistress?“Did he tell you about Janet?” the look of her face was an indication that she never heard of that name before. I chuckled and got closer to her
(Akira’s POV).“Sebastian..” I whispered in between our kisses. Feeling his mouth on mine was so unexpectedly, hot!My right hand moved to his hair, pulling it gently as he deepened his kisses, devouring my mouth coaxing me to allow him to control them. Up-close seeing his beautiful face, I trembled while trying hard not to breath too loudly.Then, I moaned in his mouth unable to contain that hidden desire I have in me, wanting him, lust for him. What was wrong with me?“Akira, do you have any idea how much I want to have you, to taste you, to feel you” he whispered his words as his lips slipped to my cheeks, moving slowly down to my neck. I hitched a breath and opened my mouth to breathe.As I felt his tongue circling on my neck, I exhaled shakily. “S-Sebastian, please”He looked up at me with his hypnotic sexy blue eyes staring at me, fervently. “You want me to stop?”I knew he was teasing me. That smile that came on his face with his soft expression were signs of my defeat. Confid
(Akira’s POV).I moved away from his car and walked aimlessly. I just needed to get away from him. Oh, what have I done?That was definitely not part of my plan.While I was walking away, I was fixing my dress and checking on whether the wooden box was still tucked inside my dress. I sighed of relief seeing it to be there.“Akira” I gasped in surprise seeing David in front of me. He looked at me from head to toe and frowned. “What happened to you? Are you alright?”I nodded and fixed my hair a little, “I’m fine. I was feeling.. a little dizzy.. and I.. and I tripped and fell”I pointed my finger randomly and hoped David bought that story. Swallowing my saliva I said while avoiding his eyes, “I tripped around there. A little slippery. And I’m.. I think I had too much to drink earlier”He moved to held my face with his hand and checked on it. Moving my head gently from side to side, he smiled, “Any pain? You look fine to me”“Yes, I’m fine. David, can you take me back to the hotel. I’m
