(Sebastian’s POV).She was trying to get her hand free from mine. It had only made me tightened my hold on her wrist. Not caring others were looking at us, I had forced her to follow me to have our little private talk.Honestly, I was not even sure on what I wanted to talk about. For sure, I just hated seeing that man touching Akira like as if they were an item.“Sebastian, stop. What are you doing?” she made me stop walking to face her.“We need to talk”“Like now? What is it about now? It’s the weekend and I’m not working. We can talk about work on Monday”“No!”“Sebastian, it is your son’s birthday party”I walked closer to her and towered her height. With gritted teeth I said in anger, “I said we need to talk”Not waiting for her to response, I continued to pull her wrist to follow me to where I was heading. No where in particular but the reading room nearby was a good choice.My parents barely lived in our family home in Amberose City since they separated. It was only use for so

(Akira’s POV).I held my breath as I lost to his control on my body. Before I could speak my words to make him stop kissing me, he had already pinned both of my hands in a grip above my head.His other hand grabbed my hair from the back as he deepened his kisses, stroking his tongue with mine. Few seconds later, our tongue entangled with one another dancing erotically.Oh, what was I doing? This had to stop. This was wrong.Then, I felt what felt like his erection rubbing on my belly. I closed my eyes, as my mind slipped into a dream state. It was what I had been dreaming at night. Craving to be touched by Sebastian, one more time.“Akira..” he whispered my name with his trembling voice. I blinked my eyes open slowly, seeing his handsome face smiling at me, “Look at me”It was something I found it difficult to do. His handsome face was the face I could remember to be the one that had took my innocence eight years ago. Meeting him changed my life.His lips moved to kiss mine again. Hu

(Author’s POV).Out in a cold night, darkness filled the quiet street of the central park in Amberose City. The moon was shining brightly down, lighting the park. A cold gust of wind came next, blowing its visitors into shivers.The streetlights lit the park, but it was dimly lit with calming yellow lights. For some, it was a good place and time for night walks, but for most, the place could be eerie at times, especially when you are alone.In the middle of the central park, there stood a century year old tree. Large and strong with big roots on its ground. The light from the moon shone on it giving it a golden hue coming from its shining leaves.Some said it had a past history with magical properties. A folklore tale was made known to the visitors that it had the power of granting wishes for those who the tree chooses.Many came and touched the tree while they wished for what they desired most. But not all were those the tree deemed to be the chosen ones to receive its miracle.Then

(Akira’s POV).I was still waiting for him to answer my questions. He opened his mouth and closed it again.Open. Close. Open.“Sebastian, you are wasting my time. It is cold and I wish to go back to my Hotel”“I’ll send you to your Hotel. Then.. perhaps, we can talk?”“We are talking now but it seemed you don’t even know what to say. I’m going with Molly. Good night. And good luck with your son’s operation”“Akira. Please. Just.. Just give me a minute” he exhaled shakily and looked at me. I could see him sweating on his forehead in a cold weather.What was wrong with him? Could he just not say what I meant to him?Could he just say I meant something to him? Not just some random woman he wished to have s*x with.I was kind of disappointed in him, because what we did back in the reading room at his home, did mean something to me. I was so close to give my body to him.And I hated myself for wanting it.“Akira, this is not easy for me to say. I did not mean to say.. you.. you did not m

(Akira’s POV).I blinked my eyes open slowly. All I could see was the bright light shining back at me. Groaning in pain, I then opened my mouth to call for help, “Henry..”My voice croaked and my dry lips were making it painful for me to talk. I sighed and called him again, “Henry, w-where are you?”The door to the room opened slightly and there was when I saw the pretty face of Henry’s secret girlfriend. A woman he was too shy to admit that he was dating. “Ramona?”She was his client who he fought to win a case for her. And the same person was that one woman he had a crush on since they went to school together.Never had he imagined Ramona Raymond would ever fall for him.“Hey, good morning. How are you feeling?” Ramona closed the door behind her gently and walked towards me. She looked elegant even when she was just wearing a simple dress with no makeup on. A natural beauty it seemed.I looked at her for a moment and smiled. Ramona was not the kind of woman Henry was known to date
