[2019]
Calculating every move, Sebastian began unbuttoning his shirt. He didn't want to rush because he knew nothing could stop him. His eyes remained fixed on one point, the doll-like eyes of the woman who had taken off her clothes. He gazed at her with satisfaction, like a predator ready to pounce on its prey; Clara Jasson.
He walked slowly, crawling onto the bed, maintaining that grin. Meanwhile, Clara welcomed him with delight, full of desire, and unwilling to shift her attention elsewhere. Today was the payoff for two weeks of waiting for Sebastian Sachdev's return. Without a single doubt, Clara swore that she would record in detail how their relationship would end.
They wrestled with each other. Giving and receiving, until they both lost their sense of reason. Their breaths and suppressed groans became a harmonious melody, signaling how they worked this afternoon, with both consciousness and desire.
Then, without realizing it, one loud cough disrupt
"How's college going for you?" Sebastian asked while savoring his meal. Grilled Grouper was his choice. It seemed fitting since he had only eaten random food since morning. Meetings with numerous clients had taken up much of his time.Not to mention the many reports from Vino that made him change his mind about just filling his empty stomach. If it weren't for Clara’s visit to the office earlier, Sebastian might still have to work on one or two things. Her charming persuasion had almost made Sebastian falter.But now? He found himself stuck with Fathia at one of his favorite restaurants."So far, it's okay," Fathia replied, not knowing how many times she had chewed on the potato wedges, the signature menu at the place. She followed Sebastian's long strides as he led the way. They didn't talk during the walk.Many things had changed in the five years they had been together. Whether Sebastian realized it or not, for Fathia, the man beside her was beco
The man swirled the contents of his glass. The clear liquid with a hint of orange was his faithful companion. His workspace was still messy, scattered with various papers filled with writing and numbers. The computer screen was still on, indicating that he couldn't afford to give up just yet.He took a deep drag from the slender, flat object, and the room instantly filled with sweet-smelling smoke. He chose to close his eyes briefly, savoring the sweet aroma that filled his senses, along with the taste offered by the slender object.He slowly sipped the liquid he had been eyeing earlier, ignoring the bitterness that greeted his taste buds. Once again, he indulged in the electric device, one of the things he enjoyed during his busy moments. Engaging in a flirtatious dance with his favorite vape smoke."Sebastian."The man sighed in annoyance. The interruption came again. He glanced at the Tag Heuer on his left; it was already eleven o'clock at night. He di
Fathia was taken aback and almost fell to the floor when she woke up with an urgent need to go to the bathroom. But she found Sebastian sleeping on her bed. Well, at the edge of it, but it had been a long time since Sebastian slept with her, especially after Fathia finished high school.The rigid man slept soundly. Fathia swore to herself to remember to lock the bedroom door. She forgot, ah... it wasn't just about forgetting. She was angry. As soon as she arrived at the apartment, all she could do was slam her bedroom door harshly. She didn't care if it got damaged or if Sebastian heard her loud outburst.On the way home, Fathia didn't say a word. She tightly pursed her lips, unwilling to argue or refute Sebastian's words. Besides the sudden sadness that overwhelmed her, she felt Sebastian and Clara were right. She was a burden to Sebastian Sachdev.Who was she? Just a little girl who inherited a lot of wealth. Fortunately, Sebastian didn't discard her. He took
"Morning, Fathia."If Fathia's eyes could jump out of their sockets, it would have happened right at that moment. "Did Aunt Clara stay overnight?" There was a hint of surprise in her voice, but Fathia ignored it. She had forgotten who Clara was in the first place.Sebastian's girlfriend.For some reason, in Fathia's eyes, Clara looked exactly like a sly fox with nine tails. Ever since she was introduced to this seemingly beautiful woman, an evident air of hostility had formed. At first, Fathia thought Sebastian had forgotten about his sister. But... she remembered. How could a seemingly normal guy like Sebastian, even though he seemed unapproachable, not be tempted by the allure of Clara?They were a perfect couple that emerged from the business world, as the news pages reported their closeness. Fathia felt angry, but what could she do? Could she summon Felice just to drive Clara out of that reserved man's life?"Yes, I stayed overnight, and you we
"Eat, Fathia! Goodness! The way you look at it won't make it disappear," Jess exclaimed with extreme annoyance. Fathia's early morning visits were usual, but the breakfast she made went to waste. It seemed like her egg sandwich creation didn't appeal to Fathia at all.Even though Jess had made it with all her heart."I know," Fathia replied, choosing to slightly pout her lips. Once again, she attempted to enjoy the free meal from the kind-hearted Jess."What's wrong with you?" Jess had to carefully ask about Fathia's life. Introducing her to her friends didn't mean that the girl opened up about her life. Unlike herself, who was open about everything, including the passionate night with her boyfriend."That Fox is at the apartment," Fathia whispered. Very quietly, hoping Jess wouldn't hear. But it turned out, Jesslyn Rasopati heard her perfectly well. There was only one woman who received the dreadful nickname from Fathia: Clara Jasson. A famous photo mode
"Do you want to go back now?" Jess asked while hugging Fathia. The lecture session had ended ten minutes ago, but Fathia didn't want to leave yet. She chose to stay in the classroom while waiting for all the other students to leave. Laziness overwhelmed her greatly, especially after remembering Clara's presence earlier."Yeah. When else can I hang out, other than the weekend?"Jess chuckled. "Your uncle is extraordinary indeed. How about eating first? Asya said she made a new menu. I have to taste it before it's included in the main menu."Fathia was actually puzzled by Jess's orientation towards the future. She loved culinary arts. Cooking was her expertise, but she ended up in business classes like this. Her reason was one: building a business required more than just mastering one field, but also strategizing. Apart from business classes, nothing else described how a business ran better."If it's not delicious, I won't pay."Jess laughed even har
Fathia thought that after having dinner, she could rest peacefully and peacefully as usual. She was mistaken. Clara was still wandering around Sebastian's apartment. As if she owned and ruled the place."When did you arrive?" Sebastian asked casually. He immediately took off his coat, which was still clinging to him, but Clara immediately took it and assumed possession. Seeing that made Fathia suddenly feel nauseous."I'll go to my room, Uncle. Good night." She had to be polite to her guardian. Without waiting for Sebastian's response, Fathia quickly moved away from the two people who she felt were about to quench their desires somewhere. Perhaps in the living room. Seeing Clara's restless behavior, it could be predicted that it would happen later.She quickly locked her bedroom door. Instead of taking a shower right away, she chose to greet her tidy bed. Inhaling the faint scent of the fragrance that spread softly in her nostrils. Ah, it must be Summer who repl
Sebastian answered with a confident nod. What Sebastian didn't prepare himself for was Fathia jumping out of her seat quickly. Approaching him and immediately giving him a tight hug. Along with words that sounded like music to Sebastian's ears, suddenly warming him up."Thank you, Uncle. I promise I'll make the most delicious coffee for you later."It took a few seconds for her not to move excessively, especially to return the girl's hug. "Yes. I'll wait."And during this breakfast session, Fathia spoke a lot. About anything. Sebastian only responded when necessary. It's not that he didn't want to, he was just used to not saying much but knowing for sure every change in this bright brown-haired girl. Especially her emotional state.Since her arrival a few days ago, Sebastian felt that Fathia was limiting herself. Ah, it was Sebastian himself who did that. His words were indeed too much. Working in two very different fields made his brain stiff. He shouldn
