SINFUL OBSESSION
CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT
SEBASTIAN
**The disbelief on his face was followed by a prolonged silence as he held my gaze.
The silence was cut short by a string of curses that hissed from his mouth and the seriousness in his gaze."How could you do that? You are saying that....goddammit! "
The loudness of his voice got the curious stare of Hazel who was sitting some distance away and he quickly toned it down, but the intensity of his gaze didn't lessen a bit."He had kidnapped Gracie and Hazel! I thought you fucking know better than keeping him alive! "
"Believe me, I'm regretting it far more than you are!"
Even if not for anything, I was regretting that I had lied to her this morning.
The relieved look she had worn still made the sickening sensation of guilt surge through me, she had even hugged me tightly while I had lied to her face.T
SINFUL OBSESSIONCHAPTER THIRTY NINEMELISSA**We walked into the living room, my gaze almost immediately caught sight of Sebastian and Hayden.They were discussing in low tones, I stood too far to hear what they were saying, but gauging by the expression on their faces, I could assume it wasn't something pleasant.I ventured further into the living room and caught only a name, 'Roberts'My feet stopped in their movements.Were they talking about dad?Sebastian's gaze fell in our direction, his gaze held mine briefly as silence slowly fell.The atmosphere was kind of tense, Sebastian's gaze never left mine, I felt as if he was searching for something, even more, strange was when his brother's gaze darted to me.It was a confirmation that they had really been talking about me.Or maybe it was a different Robert? Many people answered the name, I shouldn't go on all alert about it a
SINFUL OBSESSIONCHAPTER FORTYSEBASTIAN.**"W..what are you doing h..here? " He stuttered, not giving an inch from the door, hostility, and nervousness reeking from him."Are you saying I can't come here to find you? "He reluctantly eased his grip on the knob of the door, taking a step backward, but the wariness didn't leave his gaze.I stepped inside the house, taking note of the traditionally furnished living room before bringing my attention back to him."I'm just surprised to see you, if there is something you need, You could have just called me, I c..could have come over to meet you.""You resigned from the hospital " I spoke as a matter of factly."How did you find me? I got a more proficient job "I took another glance around the apartment, it had taken some time to find out this place, his old apartment had been vacant when I h
SINFUL OBSESSIONCHAPTER FORTY ONEMELISSA.My knees gave way, sinking to the floor of the kitchen, I breathe raggedly as the phone slipped out of my hand, I could barely hear Gracie calling out to me from the other end of the line.I didn't respond. I couldn't. I was far too gone for that.My whole world was crumbling before me.I leaned my head against the wall, My insides were flooded with thoughts, I could feel all the emotions running through me. The questions burning through my mind. How?My father was alive? How was it even possible?Alive...Alive...Alive...The words chanted repeatedly in my head, It wouldn't stop.A choked sound escaped my mouth as I groped hard on my head, I was going insane. So I let my scalp sting. It provided little distraction.He was out there
SINFUL OBSESSION CHAPTER FORTY TWO MELISSA.* * "Then I should tell you that I'm done with you, I'm leaving you and this place, to where I originally belong before we stepped into each other's life! " Even though the words had left my mouth, they hit me hard like the crack of a crop across my face, my mind went blank for further words as my heart panged painfully. I felt as if it was being ripped in two. The anger slowly dissipated out of me, only the suffocating pain of his betrayal lingered. I hadn't belonged anywhere before he had stepped into my life, there had only been emptiness and coldness. In these past weeks, I have felt happier than I've ever been all my life.The blur in my vision hid his expression from me.I didn't want to return to that place. I knew what it meant to be alive now, and It hadn't come easily, even now, &
SINFUL OBSESSIONCHAPTER FORTY EIGHTSEBASTIAN.**The banging on the door ceased.It was replaced my heart wrenching sobs that pierced my own heart with regrets.The foul taste of it was like that of bitter pills forced down my throat.The fear and panic had been so evident in her eyes, she was not thinking properly. And it was all because of me, I was the one responsible for the state she was in currently.A silent curse escaped my mouth as my feet led me in the direction of the kitchen. I poured myself a glass of water and downed the entire glass, staring into the space ahead.My gaze caught on the spot on the floor which I had initially found her earlier when I had walked in earlier and lingered.I could almost see her bleak resigned expression, the hopelessness in her eyes was something I knew I would never be able to erase from my mind. Words would never be able to explain how miserable I had felt that moment
SINFUL OBSESSIONCHAPTER FORTY FOURMELISSA.Still trapped by his hypnotic forest green gaze, I shuddered when the warm feel of his palms traveled beneath the shirt I wore to massage the bare skin of my stomach and still creeping upward."Tell me you do want me!" He repeated, his voice was strained and breathless as he held my gaze.My head was too blank to come up with a response, he probably took my prolonged silence as a refusal because the moment I started to open my mouth, he beat me to speak."Don't say no, Not now.....please " Maybe it was the desperation latching in his voice that echoed the burning ache in my chest or it was the pool of desire in between my thighs which begged to be quenched. Even though I couldn't forgive him just yet, my mind was in a confused state, but my body clearly knew what it wanted, there was no denying that I needed this man in front of him, desired him so much that it ached.I raised my pa
SINFUL OBSESSIONCHAPTER FORTY SIXMELISSA."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 the
SINFUL 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
