(Sebastian’s POV).I arrived back home at Emerald City. I could not wait to see my son again. I missed his little voice and laughter.Several calls were made to my phone requesting my presence at the office. I had ignored them all.I had made a promise to my son that I would take him to his best friend’s birthday party. One promise that I had tried to keep after many other promises were broken.“Daddy!” I heard his voice shouting to call me. He ran towards me with a smile that could light up my heart.“Hey, buddy” I bent down and embraced his little thin body while placing a kiss on his head, “You waited for me?”“I know you’ll come. Did you get it?” he asked excitedly, waiting for me to show the present I had bought for him from Amberose City. A new violin.“That would depend on whether you have been listening to the doctor. Did you take your medicine and obey the doctor for the transfusion?” I squatted down to his level and pinched his nose lightly.His smile turned into a sad face
(Akira’s POV).I never thought a random dinner party could lead me to meet Sebastian so soon.To be honest, I was not that ready to face him with any kind of mentality.Every time we met, that memory of that night 8 years ago came back to me again. But I was the only person who remembers it. It was not fair. So I just ignored him and walked towards a table.“Don’t look. Henry, what are you doing? Stop it.” I whispered to Henry who was seated in front of me.He took a glance at Sebastian and moved to look at me, trying hard not to smile. “Akira, when you say don’t look, the more I want to look. Is that his fiancée, Suzanne?”I shook my head and slapped Henry’s hand gently, “Stop laughing. It is not funny. And no, that’s not Suzanne. I don’t know who that is. Seems like he is cheating with Suzanne.""Not that I care. In fact, I personally think he deserves better than that evil cousin of mine. Anyone is better than her.”I drank my water with my eyes staring at Henry who was trying har
(Akira’s POV).Monday came.It was two days since I last saw Sebastian, and two days since I last saw my son. I missed my boy so much already. Not a day gone by that I did not dream of holding my son in my arms. At least now, I could see his face in my dreams rather than an imaginary face.In forgetting that sad phase of my life, I had drowned myself with work at my temporary apartment to study the case that I was leading. Molly, my private investigator was a big help in getting information, not just for the company but also information on Suzanne and my evil aunt.It seemed that my Cage family business was not doing well. My uncle had gambled most of his money away and he had used the Company’s money for personal purposes.I found out one news that had broke my heart. My dear grandfather went into a coma and it had been years since he had not woken up. They had kept it a secret from the public about his condition.That gave my uncle the authority on managing the Company. I doubt it
(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
