[ Sebestian ]"Ladies and Gentlemen, I apologize sincerely for the inconvenience we caused you by calling you all on a short notice but we have something very important to discuss which couldn't wait." I addressed the room occupied with the board members, the Baxters and my family.The air was so thick with tension that it could be cut by a knife. Their curious but stone faces gave me no clue of what was going inside their brains. So, I had to be very careful with my vocabulary.Michael did a good job behind our backs."I beg your pardon, gentleman but before you start this meeting, we have something to say, we'll take only two minutes of your precious time." Micheal stood from his seat and shared a look with Victorine."What's going on here, would you care to explain?" Eddie, one of the oldest board member, narrowed his eyes at us. He literally seemed pissed off."Mr. Blackwood would explain us better." Micheal smirked at me cunningly, "But I have to say something first, gentleman."
[ Sebestian ]"Fuck! What have I done?" I clutched my hairs and processed what I declared during the meeting.I had to play a dirty game. I told those money minded leeches that I have a plan to creep my way into the inner system the Skylark Group.I'd never wish for what Charlotte earned by her hard work.It's her company. I'd not cast an eye on it even if I come on the streets but I had to buy some time so I could take over my company completely and send my parents back to our home town where they could spent a simple life without messing with our lives.A knock on the door put a halt on my thoughts."Come in." I said coldly.Jimmy walked inside with a bunch of files. He looked terrified."I strictly told you to keep all the business outside my office until my next order." I groaned at him."I..I..am sorry, Sir. It..couldn't wait." He stammered and with trembling hands, he placed the files on my desk."What are these?" I gave him a curt look."Your father, Senior Blackwood Sir sent t
[ Sebestian ] "Sebestian, I'm not doing all this by my own wish." She lowered her gaze. "What do you mean?" I scrunched my brows. "My Dad is forcing me in everything I did so far-" She paused and raised her face, her eyes were teary, "Including the pregnancy. You never touched me, even in your unconscious state. You stayed loyal to Charlotte because your heart belongs to her." I was shocked and confused simultaneously. The logical side of my brain warned me that it was a trap set by her and I should read the warning sign but the other part wanted to stay and listen her. "And why does he force you to conspire against me? Didn't you fear the consequences?" I raised my brow. "He always dreamed big, he molded me to become just like him, ambitious and selfish. When you divorced Charlotte, he saw this as an opportunity to creep his way into Blackwood family by hitching me with you. I have been avoiding this for years but now, his patience ran out. He wants me to trap you by hook or cro
[ Charlotte ]"Lottie, you're here at this hour?" Jonathan's sleepy eyes widened when he opened the door for me but realized his words later,"Sorry, it came out wrong, I didn't mean to question you. Please, come inside." He stepped aside to give me space.The warm atmosphere in his house comforted me."I'll make some hot coffee for you. Please make yourself comfortable here." He said softly to me and left.I felt relived that he didn't ask me the reason of my sudden visit at this hour. I loved this thing about our friendship.I slumped down on the sofa and rubbed my face.I was in a deep pain. I still had feelings for Sebestian even if I tried to ignore them for years. I couldn't resist the man who stole my heart.But he never gets tired of crushing my feelings. He felt pleasure in playing with me.Today, he again slapped the harsh truth on my face by kissing his mistress. The deep, agonizing pain stirred in my heart.I couldn't bring myself to forget what I witnessed a while ago."He
[ Charlotte ]"You look very pretty, Mom." Ace squealed as his eyes scanned me."Yes, Aunt Charlotte, you're looking very beautiful, just like Cinderella." Leah, joined him.Both kids were in awe.I was staring at the mirror to ensure whether I looked fine in a simple white dress and pearl set that I wore for my second wedding.I didn't want to exaggerate things as it was a very private ceremony which was about to take place in the backyard of the Manor with only our closest people."Thank, both of you but should you be present in the garden with others?" I narrowed my eyes at them who giggled looking at me."We wanted to give you a secret message of Uncle Seb." Leah stretched out her tiny palm, she handed me a small note."Sebestian gave this to me?" I asked them with confusion. They nodded their heads.I opened the small piece of paper and a smile stretched on my lips automatically reading his message. Heat rushed to my cheeks."Leah, Ace, you two are here?" A soft feminine voice di
[ Sebestian ]My world stopped when she uttered two words, those two words were enough to send me over my edges.She accepted me as her husband in front of our families and the God."I love you so much, Char. You can't measure the depth of my love and obsession for you." I whispered against her lips after kissing her for long two minutes.Her cheeks were tinted pink and chest heaving."I think I can say the same about you now," She said locking our eyes.My heartbeats accelerated anticipating those magical words from her."I love you too, Sebestian." She said in almost inaudible voice but I heard her.I couldn't believe my ears."Say it again, baby girl?" I cupped her face and pulled her closer."I'm madly in love with you again, Seb." She joined our foreheads."Mom, Dad, I also want a kiss!"Ace's loud and excited voice pulled us apart. We were shocked, especially me whose mouth was wide open as I struggled to grapple what my son just called me.Our little sunshine was beaming at us.
[ Charlotte ]The warm, fresh air and bright sunrays hit my face as soon as we stepped on the Greek land.It was almost afternoon when our private plane landed on the airport. The breath taking natural sceneries forced me to let go of fatigue and enjoy the serenity that nature provides."Do you like it here, Babe?" Sebestian’s amused voice forced me to glance at my husband who drowned himself in work throughout the plane journey while I slept most of the time.He put his glasses on and snaked his arm around my waist."Are you ready to explore this beautiful country, Wife?" He asked me."Can't wait." I winked at him and put on my shades to avoid the bright sunrays directly hitting my eyes.He led me out of the airstrip to where the cars were parked."What the hell is he doing here?" I was shocked to find his personal driver beside a car."I don't trust anyone, especially in a foreign country. So, I tagged him along. He goes everywhere with me." Sebestian told me.His driver, whose name
[ Sebestian ]The day was crazier than I imagined. We left the cottage to have our lunch and take a stroll in the nearby places as we needed to give our bodies rest but all my plans flew in the air when she dragged us to the shore after the lunch.She begged me to go for surfing. As much as the idea sounds thrilling, I couldn't dare to do it practically. I had my fears of ocean waves. They look horrible, eager to swallow you in the depth of ocean.But I couldn't confess my fear to her, it'd hurt my manly ego. She gave up pestering me when I didn't budge and went herself for surfing with the instructor who was young and undeniably handsome much for the jealousy I harbored.I wanted to drag her back and push the man in the ocean so the shark could feed on him.The tourism companies deliberately hire such handsome man with everything a woman fantasies to lure the female tourists.I was sounding like a love stuck teenager. I promised to never restrict her in anything she do, now I regrett
