(Akira’s POV).“Sebastian..” I whispered in between our kisses. Feeling his mouth on mine was so unexpectedly, hot!My right hand moved to his hair, pulling it gently as he deepened his kisses, devouring my mouth coaxing me to allow him to control them. Up-close seeing his beautiful face, I trembled while trying hard not to breath too loudly.Then, I moaned in his mouth unable to contain that hidden desire I have in me, wanting him, lust for him. What was wrong with me?“Akira, do you have any idea how much I want to have you, to taste you, to feel you” he whispered his words as his lips slipped to my cheeks, moving slowly down to my neck. I hitched a breath and opened my mouth to breathe.As I felt his tongue circling on my neck, I exhaled shakily. “S-Sebastian, please”He looked up at me with his hypnotic sexy blue eyes staring at me, fervently. “You want me to stop?”I knew he was teasing me. That smile that came on his face with his soft expression were signs of my defeat. Confid

(Akira’s POV).I was back to Emerald City. Definitely not by choice.Although I had made it clear that I wanted nothing to do with the case between Virtus and Axel companies, Fate somehow managed to keep me under Sebastian’s control. And that control was Ronald Barton.He was awake. And I needed to see him before he talks to anyone about Melina Cage being me!I arrived at the Hospital early morning. I heard Ron was recovering well after intense physiotherapy to make him walk again.I went to the Hospital under pretense of investigating the case with my colleague Jacob Dubois. It was not all a lie. I was helping Jacob as much as I could while managing other cases on my list. But that morning, Jacob was not with me.As I reached the door written as Patient X, I frowned, “Patient X? Who did they think he was? A test subject?”I rolled my eyes and knew it was most likely Sebastian’s doing. He seemed to have his say on how the Hospital operates. Entering the door, I saw Ron already seated

(Author’s POV).One the day of the death of his son, Marcus Cage, the old man asked his nurse to take him to his son’s old office. It was something he does to cherish what ever memory he had left for his late son. His favourite son.Ignoring his weak body that could hardly move much, he pressed the button of his wheelchair to take him to the home office room.“Hold on. I’ll switch on the lights and open the windows, so it would not be so gloomy in here, Master Cage” the nurse said politely. She had been working with the Cage family for decades.Retirement was an option for her but she had chosen to stay to care for Master Cage. She could not bear any longer seeing how he was mistreated by his daughter in law and remaining son.“Hmmm.. g-go.. t-t-theree” Master Cage whispered his word faintly while slowly raising his finger to point at the mahogany work desk that was hand crafted by his own late father.“Of course, Master Cage” the nurse helped to guide the electric wheelchair towards

(Akira’s POV).About half an hour later, I walked out from Sebastian’s room feeling in such a good mood. I could not believe that he had chosen to protect me than his own fiancée, Suzanne. The look of Suzanne’s angry face was priceless.She was defeated. She was losing. And I loved it!If only she knew I was the lost Melina Cage who she had bullied all my life, I would think Suzanne would faint or got a heart attack. Seizure maybe.The things that she did to me in the past, was unforgivable. Some of the scars she had caused on my body may have faded. But the pain was still there.Pain from her beating me with her tennis racquet. Pain of her burning my skin with her hair curler. Pain from her slapping my face. Those painful memories were not easy to forget.It had left a scar in my heart. A scar that was not easy to heal.“You! I’m not done with you” Suzanne walked towards me in anger. Wearing a 5-inch heels was not even helping her to reach my height. I was much taller than her.I ma

(Akira’s POV).I came back to Emerald City taking the train instead of through air. I did not want anyone to know I was back from Bloom City, especially Sebastian.We were in frequent communication, mostly from his side wanting to know as much as he could about Samuel’s mother. It was sweet at the beginning but I have reached the stage finding it being annoying much. Suffocating. He was persistent.At the early morning, I wore my exercise attire and covered my head with the hoodie from a sweatshirt I was wearing. It was my routine to jog at my neighbourhood at Emerald City.It was a way to watch Samuel from far when he got to school. One of the reasons that I did not mind paying so much rent to stay at that rented apartment, hoping I could watch my son from far.I had become his number one fan or what Molly called me as his professional stalker.Not wanting anyone to know I was back in Emerald City, I had worn a blonde wig and pretended as much as I could to be Molly. She had become
