Sebastian POVIt has been exactly a month since the day Hannah left. Each day I spend time reminiscing and going over the memories of her. I remember the first time I took her to work and she told me she was more qualified to take my job! Hannah had such a unique character just like the rest of her. I've acknowledged and accepted that the grief of losing her will stay with me. Each night I need to visit her room, its the only thing that can calm me, its my therapy. I would sleep in her room but I dont want anyone to find out also I want to preserve her scent. I've prohibited anyone from enetering her room, no one can clean it, it stays in the same state she left it apart from the bedding. At first I thought I could buy some of the products she used to replace the scent, but I soon realised Hannah had her own natural scent that no product in this world could replace. Aunt has notified me that Gabriel had recovered significantly however, he cannot forget Hannah. Aunt spoke of his first
Sebastians POVIt is one week to our engagement, I am counting each day, not because I'm excited or that I can't wait to be engaged to Haley, but the opposite. As the days are getting closer im starting to feel what Gabriel described it as a death sentence. Each time I have to think of my engagement, my chest hurts like its being crushed and my breathing becomes difficult, my mind loses focus, I have often had to walk out of meetings. Luca has been concerned about my health, but I know its not a physical problem. The only thing that relieves the symptoms is the memories of Hannah, the time she worked for me, the times we played chess, the times I had taken her and many many more. Im losing myself and im not sure what I feel anymore.Suddenly my thoughts are interrupted by the office phone" Mr Agreste, your engagement has been leaked". I was shocked by Lucas words, I had made sure everything was kept private and no details were leaked. " Find out who leaked the information". I ordere
The glooming sky and the bare brick walls were witnessing what could only be described as massacre. A dozen men dressed in black body suits with their faces covered sliced through an army of men that obstructed their path. Leading the expert killers was one that stood the tallest and broadest, yet so agile that the others could not possibly win the battle without him. "we have exactly 2 minutes to gain access to the vault, and a further 2 minutes to get hold of the prize" shifted one of the men. Yet this did not increase any pressure on the leader, he swiftly marked his sword against the neck of his next target and sent him flying across the hall. Blood splattered against the bare walls creating a collage evidencing the massacre.The mission was a success, the prize was in the hands of machitis, the name given to him which meant warrior. He checked the documents which would bring the end of Dimitri, the head of the English mafia. 2 weeks later.Sebastians POV"Meeting is dismissed".
" Sir you have a call from Gabriel Agreste, would you like me to put the call through " Lauren asks. She knew how important Gabriel was to Sebastian and would even postpone a meeting to speak to his cousin. "yes" was all Sebastian said before he heard an enthusiastic Gabriel greet him."Hello cousin, how are you"? "Tell me Gabriel, what has got you this excited"?"how do you know? did Beth say something"?"Gabriel, I helped feed you, bathe you, and even cleaned your bottom when you were in diapers. I know you better than anybody else does. I'm also very good at reading people. So speak, what has my baby cousin so excited"? This was the most Sebastian spoke to anybody and only Gabriel had the privilege to listen to him speak for more than a couple of words. "Well, ermm I have something I want to tell you. I mean I was going to tell you about her but I didn't really have much to say apart from, ermm I think im in love with someone. I mean she hasn't ermmm well she doesn't really know
"She has left", was all Gabriel said before he broke down in tears, this made Sebastian feel somewhat guilty as for he had hoped for this outcome. He could not say why but the hate he had for her kind was far to great. Even with her captivating beauty his hate far surpassed any other emotion he felt for her. Sebastian comforted his cousin with actions and led him upstairs to get some sleep without speaking a word. He was hoping that with time Gabriel would forget her and move on. 1 year later. "Sebastian what time will you be getting home" queried Haley, as he has Mr and Mrs Agreste had waited for him at his mansion. "in 30 minutes", sebastian replied before disconnecting the call and heading towards the parking lot.Entering his home his parents and good friend Haley were ready in what looked like dinner gowns and suit. " I will be ready in 20 minutes" confirmed Sebastion as he ascended the stairs.It was Gabriels engagement party today, after a heartbreaking year for him he dec
" Hello Mrs Agreste, Im Mrs Flemington, one of the helpers, let me show you where your room is", I will be responsible for the cooking and the laundry, Miss Thomas is responsible for the cleaning, she works part-time and is usually here first thing in the mornings" spoke the elderly lady dressed in maids uniform. Hannah looked around the penthouse it was open planned with high ceilings and ceiling to floor windows. It was well lit with beautifully adorned chandeliers. With minimal furniture it gave the illusion of immense space, which is what attracted Hannah. She loved space as she was somewhat claustrophobic and this penthouse was perfect to her liking. Hannah was shown to one of the bedrooms, she was confused, was she not going to share this space with her husband. Why did it seem that this bedroom was not occupied by another. Her marriage was arranged and the foundations of this marriage was laid on conditions and not love, however she always knew that there was a strong possibi
Hannah POVSilent tears trailed out from the corner of her almond eyes and disappeared into her dark tresses. What had her parents got her into, they had freed her from one danger only to be encapsulated in a much greater threat. She could not believe what her eyes had witnessed 20 minutes earlier. After her first encounter she did not believe that she would ever meet the only man who had instilled such a forbidden emotion in her a year ago. The man was so cold yet caused others to heat at his mere gaze. Sebastian Agreste, she had heard stories about the business mogul, a genius, who could make the impossible possible in the business world. He was rumored to have read peoples minds and with social skills that far out weighed any others, he was the most successful being on the planet. He had many other attributes that could be added to the list which helped him succeed. At the age of 33 he had acquired more wealth than the top 20 richest people combined had achieved. He was the riche
Hannah POVIt took Hannah 20 minutes to shower, she was now stood in her closet donning on a pair of forest green skinny jeans with a dark green with burgundy floral patterned short sleeved peter pan collared peplum top. She had towel dried her waist length dark tresses to the point that they were almost dry and had applied on some moisturizer. Hannah need not wear any makeup as she was blessed with a natural rosy blush, soft pink luscious lip and long thick eyelashes that coated her almond eyes giving the effect of an eyeliner, which winged out at the corners defining them to look like cat eyes. Hannah was aware that she had gone over the 20 minutes by at least a few minutes, however this did not bother her as she did not want to give into to the beast. Making her way down the stairs, she remembered from last night where the dining room was located and made her way to the same. Sitting at the head of the table in his masculine glory was no other than the beast himself. She used slig
