SINFUL OBSESSION
CHAPTER FORTY SIX
MELISSA.
"Tell me why I should trust you with your idea? How do I fucking know you are not working together with your father? " He took a pause, studying me under his scrutinizing gaze.I had expected this reaction before I had approached him and he hadn't disappointed me, there it goes again about the whole trust of a thing."First off, you had managed to convince Gracie, and now even though my brother for some reason seems to trust you, what exactly is your intention ?"I almost gritted my teeth at him in irritation, His wariness about me didn't seem as if it would come to an end anytime soon, maybe it would be better if he could channel all the animosity and weariness he felt towards the right person.The idea that had struck me earlier today about meeting Hayden had been made easier when Gracie had insisted that I had dinner at their place.Sebastian was not here at present, it gave me theSINFUL OBSESSION CHAPTER FORTY SIX SEBASTIAN**The drive to the hospital was a quick and reckless one.It was already quite dark outside, the rain fell lightly making the atmosphere around The nagging feeling that something was wrong still gnawed intensely at my insides, everything had happened too quickly, the only way I could set my heart at ease was getting to the hospital and see the situation for myself.I had received a text from Melissa earlier, giving the direction to the hospital, but when I tried to redial her number, her cellphone had been switched off.I also had tried Hayden's line, it rang a few times, but I got no response, which made everything seemed even weirder to me. Finally, I pulled the car to a stop in front of the hospital. I stepped out of the car, the cold wind whipping across my face as my feet sprinted at a furious pace, towards the tall building ahead.I stepped inside, staring around at my surroundings
SINFUL OBSESSIONCHAPTER FORTY SEVENMELISSA**I jerked awake from a nightmare, I could feel myself drenched in a cold sweat, my eyes fluttered open.It was dark.That thick kind of darkness that you couldn't differentiate if your eyes were opened or not. Where was I? was the first thought that registered in my mind, at the same time, I tried to move but was struck by a wave of dizziness. The side of my head throbbed agonizingly, I could see black dots if that was even possible. My encounter with Rick and him hitting me with the gun. I must have passed out. I could feel some stickiness where my hair lay against my neck. Was I bleeding? A sudden bump had me hissing in pain, it looked as though he was currently driving and if my guesses were correct, I was currently in the trunk.It was too tight, my stomach rolled with the need to throw up. I tried to change position again but soon discovered that t
SINFUL OBSESSIONCHAPTER FORTY EIGHTMELISSA**"Watch over her " His accented voice was thickly laced with spite. With his cellphone in hand, he walked out through the door, leaving me alone in the room.Well, not as alone as I had thought, I had almost forgotten about " Mr drunk man" who was standing at the dark corner of the room, his sunken eyes were glued permanently in my direction.Not more than three seconds later, he straightened to his feet and started to approach me, a burning cigarette dangling from between his dark lips as he reached to where I had managed to drag myself to a sitting position on the ground.I narrowed my gaze sharply at him in a glare when he gripped my jaw hard, forcing me to face him in my shackled state."You're too pretty to be caught in this situation, how did you offend him? Huh? " He blew the smoke from his cigarette across my face as he spoke.I tried to tur
SINFUL OBSESSIONCHAPTER FORTY NINEMELISSA.**"Leave it to you to bring me this surprise, when I thought we would have to wait" He patted Rick's shoulders twice, his expression seeming almost proud.I stared at the man unflinchingly.The silence echoed after his statement. His second one since the moment the door had pushed opened.Except for the sounds of their approaching footsteps which were heavy against the cold tiled floor, there was nothing, except maybe the heavy pounding of my heart.I stood still where I stood, barely aware of the sound of the seconds slowly ticking past from the wall clock on the side of the room.I didn't know for how long past, we both stared at each other. Studying the other. He was perhaps searching my gaze for shock, or maybe it was terror, I was supposed to feel at seeing him, this was the surprise Rick was talking about giving me, and even though I had fully anticipa
SINFUL OBSESSIONCHAPTER FIFTYMELISSA**And behind him was...Sebastian!Oh god!My heart rocketed high in both shock and disbelief. An intense wave of relief made by legs weak.I couldn't tell how he got to be here, not I thought I wouldn't be able to see his face for the last time, but somehow here he was .He came for me. Gun in his hand, his stormy gaze met with mine and remained, my heart squeezed so tightly in my chest, I felt it would burst out any moment. There was a dark chill in his eyes that I haven't seen ever before.He was furious.From where I stood, I could feel the cold rage radiating off him in full waves. I couldn't tell if it was directed at me, or dad, or perhaps at our situation right now. But then, the ice in his eyes cracked, replaced by a softened look, a flicker of communication passed between the both of us at this moment before it all faded into bubbles.A sudden pain
SINFUL OBSESSIONCHAPTER FIFTY ONE**SEBASTIANThe last few hours had been one of the longest of my entire life, that raging fear that I was too late to save her, that something would so easily go wrong and she would end up even more hurt than she already was, or that Robert would pull the trigger on her at any time. It would have been so easy to tackle Robert if only he didn't hold her so dangerously close to him. I've always known she was important to me, but at that moment, I would gladly have laid down my life in exchange for hers without a second thought. Thinking of a life without her in that crucial moment had been agonizing. I realized I wouldn't ever be able to do it.Fuck whatever this is called, all I knew was that I needed her with me at all times.And never think of letting go.Robert had made the mistake of thinking it was just me, that was the first advantage I had over him, and just as he had fired tha
SINFUL OBSESSIONMELISSA**The sky outside was beginning to brighten up, indicating it was already morning.I sat on the small bed, barely of the doctors and nurses who were flocking around me, I couldn't even answer any of their questions.I couldn't tell if my current state was due to the shock I experienced a few hours ago. Was it hours already since that horrific moment?Everything had happened too quickly, but thankfully, Sebastian was fine. A bullet had grazed his side, but according to the doctors, it was not anything life-threatening. That cold fear that had taken control of me when he had been lying on that ground was something I never want to experience again.I didn't mean to blurt those words aloud like that, maybe it was those words he said or the way his eyes had seemed so tender, I knew I just had to let it all out. It felt as if some huge burden had been lifted from my chest, only the
SINFUL OBSESSIONFifty-ThreeSEBASTIAN**"Your medicines " I spoke, tearing the silence.She jerked slightly as though she hadn't seen me approaching, in fact, maybe she hadn't. It hadn't gone behind me that she was a lot more different since these past two days since she got discharged from the hospital, often at times, I would catch her staring ahead into space. I could amount the number of words she had spoken to me since we returned.She mumbled a word of thanks as she accepted both pill and water from me."I'll help you change your bandage" I spoke, accepting the glass from her, placing it on the table."I can do it myself, it doesn't even hurt anymore since these days" She muttered under her breath, her eyes wandering everywhere in the room but me."I wasn't asking if you can or not, I just want to do it for you"This time her eyes snapped to meet mine, there was a mix of emotions burning in those
