Sebastian caught Tamara in his arms. She could feel how firm the man’s body was, and the fire in his eyes frightened her. She hurriedly tried to steady herself but found that her legs felt like jelly. She couldn’t stand properly, no matter how hard she tried.She ended up tightening her grip on Sebastian.“Let go!” Sebastian said with a low growl. Tamara could see a vein popping out of his forehead.She was stunned. “What’s up with him?” she thought.At that moment, she instantly snapped back to her senses. Having just realized how precarious their position seemed, her expression stiffened.In a short few seconds, Tamara’s face flushed a bright red. She hurriedly loosened her grip on Sebastian’s arm, backing away from it as if it had burnt her. Her small hand began to tremble.She managed to compose herself and hurriedly bowed in apology.She hadn’t touched him on purpose! She had no idea why she ended up grabbing his arm. It had only been a reflex for her to grab something sinc
Tamara’s body began to stiffen gradually. Sebastian’s scent filled her senses as he got closer and closer, making it difficult for her to catch her breath.Just as she was about to pass out from lack of air, the man walked past her without a word.Tamara blinked for a few moments before grabbing Sebastian’s wrist at the last second.Without turning back, he demanded coldly, “Let go.”Tamara did not heed his instruction. She took out her phone and hurriedly typed something to show him: “I didn’t mean to do that last night.”Sebastian’s expression darkened at that. He grabbed her wrist angrily and pinned her against the wall.With his face mere inches from Tamara’s, nose almost touching hers, he snarled, “Tamara Simmons, you clearly did it on purpose!”Tamara shook her head fervently. She did not know what had come over her. She could’ve avoided this confrontation by walking down the stairs without grabbing his arm.At this moment, seeing that she had walked into a wolf’s den, sh
A black Lamborghini stopped right outside the villa at that moment. Sebastian got out of the car and walked inside with long strides.When Ms. Thompson saw that Sebastian had come back, she was startled and asked, “Young Mr. Lynch, did you forget something?”Sebastian hummed, indicating that he did, then headed straight up the stairs.In the master bedroom.Once Tamara got inside, she swept her gaze over the room and found that the bag on the sofa was no longer there.“Did he move it somewhere else?” she thought.She hesitated for a short moment, debating over whether she should keep looking for it.In the end, seeing that her curiosity would not be satisfied until she got a definite answer, she decided to resume her search.After searching the entire room to no avail, she continued to seek the bag out in the walk-in closet on the far left.She was met with rows upon rows of clothes, but all were black, white, or gray. No other colors were in sight.She pursed her lips and th
Tamara held a hand over her abdomen as she got out of the cupboard. Her expression was tense and serious.“Could there be something wrong with my baby?” she thought.After she regained her footing, the slight pain in her abdomen suddenly vanished.The pain she had felt resembled needle pricks.“What on earth was that?” she wondered.She lowered her head to observe her own abdomen. Could it have been her imagination?She touched her belly, pressing against it to find it slightly hardened. It was proof that a new life was growing inside of her.She stood around and waited for a few minutes. When the pain did not resurface, she unfurrowed her brows.Tamara deduced that the pain might’ve been stress-induced.She redirected her gaze back to the drawer from before. Sebastian had tucked the bag back into it before he left.She carefully poked her head out of the walk-in closet to check. Once she was sure that no one was around, she hurried back into the closet and pulled the drawer
Tamara made a pained noise at the back of her throat. The sound resembled nails on a chalkboard. It was piercing to the ears.“Shut up!” The vein in Sebastian’s forehead had popped out. Every time he heard Tamara make a sound, he was cruelly reminded of the fact that he had a mute for a wife.He had become Londsville’s very own laughingstock.A loud smack resounded just then.Tamara slapped the bag off Sebastian’s hand. She dug her nails as deep into his skin as she could.This man was going to choke her to death! She didn’t want to die so soon!Pain from Tamara’s nail-digging caused Sebastian to release his grip on her neck. His expression darkened.She signed: “You’re crazy!”She did not care if Sebastian couldn’t understand her. She needed an outlet to release her anger.Following that, she stuck a middle finger out at him. What this gesture meant was universally known.Sebastian’s face darkened even further at that.Tamara did not want to bother with the man anymore. S
”Tamara Simmons, you don’t have to look so puzzled. Just try leaving and you’ll see.”After Sebastian said that, he spun on his heel and left.The cold chill of his presence in the air did not dissipate for a long while.Tamara remained horrified for a short moment. She didn’t expect Sebastian to go into a fit of rage like that.His anger wasn’t hot and fiery but cold yet biting.It was something she had never experienced before.She suddenly felt regretful of her actions.She stopped packing and cast her eyes toward the torn marriage certificate on the ground. The red document seemed painful to even look at.This marriage of hers was honestly a disaster. All she could do was wait for time to pass.Once she gave birth to the child, she would no longer have to associate herself with Sebastian.When Sebastian returned from work, he noted that Tamara’s door was shut and that the torn pieces of the marriage certificate were nowhere in sight.He let out a cold scoff. It seemed th
When Ms Thompson heard the maid, she asked with concern, “Oh gosh, have you seen a doctor yet?”The maid nodded. “I have. It’s nothing too bad, but seeing that Young Mrs. Lynch is pregnant, I’m worried that I might pass on whatever disease I have to her. I think it’d be best if I went home.”Ms Thompson nodded. “I suppose that’s for the best. But you don’t have to quit completely. How about you take temporary leave for now? You can get back to work any time you like in the future once you’re healthy.”The maid replied, tone grateful, “That’s very kind of you, Ms. Thompson. But my younger brother is still ill at home. I have to take care of him, so I don’t think I’ll be coming back any time soon.” Ms Thompson was quick to catch the drift.“Alright, then. I’ll get the salary you’re owed settled as soon as possible. If you do decide to come back for work, just let me know.” Ms Thompson thought that maid was really good at her job, so she tried her best to make her stay.Once the ma
When Sebastian saw how anxious Tamara looked, he stayed silent for a few moments. Then, he said to the nurse, “We’re going to keep it for now.”The nurse was startled. “But if the stillborn is left in the mother’s body for too long, it will cause a series of malignant diseases. Are you sure?”Tamara nodded firmly. She was sure.The nurse nodded back in acknowledgement but couldn’t help but add, “As parents, I know you two might not be able to believe the news, but the reports are never wrong. I still think it’s best to terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible.”After leaving them with that, the nurse left.Tamara loosened her grip on Sebastian’s hand and closed her eyes slowly.She had to retrace her steps to figure out where exactly everything had gone wrong.Whatever had just happened was too sudden.While living in the Lynch family’s residence, for the baby's sake, she had been fed and provided with the best of the best. Since that was the case, she figured she should’ve
