(Akira’s POV).I sat at the very end at the corner of the back passenger seat of his limousine. I could not even look at his face. My eyes were stuck looking outside the window, waiting for the right moment to open the damn door and get out.I could not breathe properly. The longer I was in his car, the faster the air in my lungs seemed to be closing in to suffocate me. I closed my eyes, trying my best to calm my breathing.“Akira”“Shut up. Just, shut up”I opened my eyes and looked away, not wanting to see him, and definitely not wanting to talk to him. Mostly, due to me not knowing what to say.How did he find out about me being Samuel’s mother? I was careful. Henry and I had planned it all to perfection, not wanting anyone to know that Samuel was my son.Where did I go wrong?My mind spiraled on how I needed to explain to Sebastian in a way that would not jeopardise my plans to get my son back. I could not lose my son. My baby boy was my whole world.If Sebastian knew I was Melin

(Sebastian’s POV).I sat on the sofa in the lounge area and sighed. “He is not answering my calls. Something is not right”Lennox poured me a drink and sat in front of me. He let out a loud burping sound after the heavy lunch we had, “Excuse me. Mary really knows how to feed a man”“I only hire the best” I emptied the content of my drink and checked on the time of my watch, “It has been almost five hours, she is still not awake. I’m going to check on her”“Hey, man. Just chill. Kwan said he’ll inform us once she is stable. Let him do his work up there in the room” Lennox was right, but I could not focus on anything else until I was made assured that Akira would be fine.“Dr Kwan is a capable man. She’ll be fine” he took his phone out from the pocket and made a call to someone while speaking in the language of the Amberose City.While he was on the call, I sat back on the sofa and recalled the last hectic hours we had to get Akira treated. The bullet taken out of her was a specialised

(Sebastian’s POV).“Are you sure he is here?” I asked as I followed Lennox, standing behind him behind a tree. “Are they that stupid to bring Bodhi here at their own home?”Lennox chuckled and took a glance at me, “Do tell me. You were the one who got engaged with Suzanne for many years. I always wondered why you kept her that long”“For my son”“Really? Your son huh?” he said in a mocking tone, “Did you sleep with Suzanne?”I refused to answer that. It was a long time go since I last touched Suzanne. I was drunk and that sex was something I could not recall much. A decision I had regretted for ever to meet Suzanne Cage.“Kimberly, what are you doing here?” I heard Lennox whispered and turned to his side facing Kimberly.“How do you think I find out your friend Bodhi is here? I don’t know what is going on here. But Bodhi is also my friend. I’m here for him and you, Sebastian. Why have you been avoiding me?”“Go home, Kim. I don’t have time for this. This is not your fight”“Fight? Wi

(Akira’s POV).She smiled while she unpacked a delicious looking pudding to serve me, “My name is Mary. I work for Mr Strauss. He asked me to take good care of you. You are indeed very special to him. I’m sorry, I don’t know where he is”“Special?” I scoffed to that, “How special am I until he keeps me here like a prisoner? It has been days since he left me alone in this place! He did not call or left me a note. How special is that, Mary?”Although I was in anger, I could not resist the delicious looking pudding placed in front of me and took a spoon to taste it. Probably one of the most delicious tasting puddings I had ever tasted in my life.“Of course, you are special to him, Miss West. Mr Strauss would never allow a woman to stay in this place for more than a day. He would usually force them to leave the next morning. Please make this place as if it is your own home”“Home?” I raised my eyebrow and looked at Mary. She seemed to know a lot about Sebastian, “So, this is where he br

(Akira’s POV).“You taste so good, Akira” he whispered before parting my lips to capture my tongue. His words. His touch. I could not resist them any longer.Closing my eyes, I had let him control our intense kisses. Wanting more each time he teased me with his tongue.Moving his lips brushing my cheeks, he whispered in my ear, blowing warm breath making me shiver, “Akira, I want to be inside of you”Holy sh*t. The way he said those words were making my knees weak. He took my breath away and literally I was breathing fast when his lips moved to taste my neck. “S-Sebastian, w-what.. are you doing? Please, stop. Hmmm..”“Do you really want me to stop?” he said those words softly. A challenging tone, teasing me to wanting him. A smile formed on his lips. I looked up to stare in his ocean blue eyes.Handsome was an understatement. He was a delight to look at and I could keep staring at him all day.Without realising it, he had carried me to the bed that was covered with luxurious red sil
