Tamara’s head snapped towards the source. Sebastian stood there with a cold look on his face.The crowd also followed the voice and was shocked to find Sebastian there.It was Sebastian Lynch!Why was he here?“Perfect timing, Young Mr. Lynch. These people barged in without permission and even threatened the tea barista. I heard that she was an honored guest of Simon. These people must not have heard the news!” Dawn saw the chance and took it, sharing Sebastian’s cold look.The leader was clearly not expecting Sebastian to show up. A flash of panic danced in his eyes, and he chuckled nervously. “This is all just a misunderstanding, Young Mr. Lynch. We just wanted to seek help.”“Is that so?” Sebastian narrowed his eyes. “You would threaten those who you wish to seek help from? That’s a first.”The man paled as beads of cold sweat trickled down his face.Although they were in Rastone, Sebastian was not one to be trifled with. The man anxiously sought a way out.He smiled nervou
Tamara nodded before giving Anthony a look.Anthony gritted his teeth but explained nevertheless, “The miss is mute. That is why I am required to speak on her behalf. I hope Young Mr. Lynch is okay with this.”Sebastian offered a small smile. “Of course. My wife is mute too.”Tamara’s heart pounded at this for reasons unknown, and her face heated up.She touched her cheeks only to remember that Sebastian couldn’t see her expression due to her mask.Anthony did not show an ounce of emotion. “What a coincidence.”“Oh, really?” Sebastian returned Anthony’s indifference with a cold look of his own. “I don’t believe in coincidence.”He left right after.Even so, Tamara did not let her guard down.What did Sebastian mean by that?With nervousness brewing inside, Tamara’s mind was a mess when she walked out.Dawn followed her out. “I will get the ingredients you ask for. Please help me after I have gathered them all.”Tamara nodded. At the sight of this, a sense of pity welled up
The cruise finally settled down. Someone caught their footing and looked up only to see the two kissing individuals.Their voice sliced through the air, and Tamara immediately became as red as a tomato.She didn’t dare meet Sebastian’s gaze. Instead, she pushed herself away from him.Yet Sebastian held her in place. Tamara couldn’t help but glareed at him over this.What was he doing?The cruise had stabilized, so why wasn’t Sebastian letting go?Despite Tamara’s death stare, Sebastian had a conflicted look in his eyes. He suddenly reached for Tamara’s mask.The mask fell, and her beautiful face was revealed.Tamara gasped and hurriedly freed herself from him. Once she got up from the floor, she put her mask back into place.“Are you alright, miss?” Anthony had returned. When he saw the state Tamara was in, he expressed his worries.Anthony took a glance at Sebastian. Back when the cruise was swaying back and forth, Anthony had immediately made his way to Tamara. However, he
Outside the door.Sebastian was leaning against the wall. He had one hand in his pants pocket and another touching his lips.He reminisced about how soft Tamara’s lips were and how sweet they tasted.A waiter was making his round with a tray of drinks. Sebastian reached for a glass of wine and took a sip from it.The wine was rich in taste and left a slight hint of grape in his mouth.Sebastian paused. He looked at the glass of wine and tasted it again.It tasted of red wine.He took another sip, and the wine fully engulfed his sense of taste.Sebastian lit up. He finished his glass of wine and looked to the waiter for a glass of orange juice.The sweet taste of the juice entered his sense of taste and washed away the slight sting of wine.He put down the juice and went for the champagne.Sebastian had taste-tested three different drinks. And to his surprise, he could enjoy the taste of all three of them.Sebastian’s eyes shone with glee.When the waiter noticed this, he a
The next morning.The cruise hit the shores, and the party was officially over.Tamara got up early and put on her disguise. After taking a series of photos, she took her time editing them when a shadow of a figure came up to her.“Miss Myra,” came a gentle voice.Tamara secretly sighed in relief at this. She thought it was Sebastian.Simon gave Tamara a box. “Think of this as a thank-you gift for your scented teas, Miss Myra. I hope we can work together in the future.”Tamara offered a smile and gave Anthony a look. Anthony thanked, “The miss accepts your goodwill, Mr. Dashner. But you have already given the miss what she wanted last night. With that, we can’t possibly accept this gift.”Simon grinned. “I believe a beauty like you deserves something nice. Just think of this as a parting gift.”Tamara almost rolled her eyes at this.The rich sure love to flaunt their wealth.First, a gift as an apology. Now, a parting gift.Anthony saw the look in Tamara’s gaze and continued
What a smart woman!Sebastian's lips formed into a thin line as he watched the speeding vehicle in front.When Tamara turned back and saw Sebastian's car, her breathing quickened with nervousness.Anthony had also seen the car chasing after them. With a cold glint in his eyes, he took a sharp turn.Tamara took out her phone and wanted to check out of her room.Just when she was about to go through with her decision, a thought came to mind.If she were to check out now, wouldn't it prove Sebastian's suspicion right?Even if Sebastian saw through her disguise, as long as she kept her mask on, she could always deny it later.With that in mind, Tamara put away her phone and decided against her initial thought.In the next hour, the two cars drove around Rastone without stopping. When they reached the two-hour mark, Anthony checked the rearview mirror only to see that Sebastian's car was nowhere in sight. "We seemed to have lost them."Tamara nodded in relief and signed, “Let’s he
“What the fuck, woman?” When Sebastian saw the fire extinguisher descending upon him, he held up his hand to catch it while his other hand reached to push Tamara back into the room.The fire extinguisher hit the floor with a loud bang. Tamara jumped at the sound, but before she could react, she was pushed up against the wall.Her eyes widened at the man in front of her. She couldn’t believe it was Sebastian.“What? Surprise to see me?” Sebastian had pushed Tamara against the wall with one hand while the other caged her in.Tamara struggled against him. She was not comfortable in the position they were in.She was stuck between a rock and a hard place.Sebastian tilted her face up and looked at her deviously. “Tamara, tell me why I have never noticed your love for acting.”Tamara’s heart skipped a beat. But she put on a confused look and pushed at Sebastian’s hand.Sebastian calmly let go of her face and ran his hand along her hair. He said in a low voice, “Have you forgotten? I
Tamara was getting redder by the minute. She wanted to struggle free, but her hands were pinned. Sebastian’s body had also caged her in.What a dangerous position to be in!They could feel each other’s breath fanning across their face. Tamara was reminded of their shared kiss.She remembered how soft they were and how sweet they tasted…Stop! What was she thinking?Tamara turned her face to the side and shut her eyes. She was trembling like a leaf in the wind.Sebastian had only planned to tease her. But when he saw her nervousness, something primal in him stirred.He slowly leaned down and blew in her ears. He teased, “What are you afraid of, Tamara? It’s not as if we hadn’t done it before. You’re even pregnant with my child. Aren’t you being a little bit prudish?”Bastard!Tamara wanted to curse at him. But the constant blow of his breath against her ears only sent further shivers down her spine.Of course, she acted like a virgin!Even though she was pregnant, she had con
