CHAPTER 43: TRAPPED IN HER OWN GAME

Sebastian and Mateo were in the car, parked a few meters from the building where they believed their target was hiding. The night was cold, and the tension was palpable.

"Are you sure he lives there?" Sebastian asked, breaking the silence. It had been an hour since he left the apartment after Mateo's call. Isabella and he had agreed to return and postpone the honeymoon. She had stayed at the apartment with Nicholas; she didn't want to be apart for even a second.

Mateo glanced slightly at his friend and saw the smile that, although he tried to hide, was still evident.

"Yes, I confirmed it twice. I also called the authorities. I'm not risking you killing him."

Sebastian grimaced, his expression hardening.

"I'm not going to deny that I want to wring his neck. That bastard ruined a big deal. The best thing would be to get the information out of him. We need to find out who's behind this. That one you should wring the neck of."

    CHAPTER 44: ATTACK IN THE POWDER ROOMThe next day, Isabella was finishing getting ready in front of the mirror. Sebastian appeared behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist."I'm going to be the most envied man of the night," he said proudly.She smiled and continued fixing her hair."Flatterer.""Why? I'm telling the truth, my wife will be the most beautiful of the night. I'm not going to leave your side for a second."Sebastian kissed her neck and stepped back. Isabella was wearing a black dress that highlighted every curve of her body, but the most striking feature was the backless design accompanied by a Lariat necklace, a gift from Sebastian. She looked at herself one last time and was surprised to see the sparkle in her eyes. She seemed like a different woman, a loved woman, and above all, ready to be happy.They soon arrived at the hotel where the soirée would take place. Sebastian entered holding Isabella's hand. Everyone couldn't help but murmur among themselves; Seba

    CHAPTER 45: "YOU PROVOKED IT!"Sebastian was desperately looking for his wife. Inesa's voice made him turn abruptly."Are you looking for your wife?" Inesa asked with a malicious smile."Yes, do you know where she is?" Sebastian responded, anxious."I saw her talking to a man, they seemed to know each other very well," Inesa dropped her venom deliberately. She hadn't taken her eyes off Isabella and, of course, had seen her arguing with Marcus. After investigating her, she recognized him as the ex-husband.Sebastian frowned upon hearing she was talking to a man. He wasted no time and headed towards the ladies' room. A wicked smile adorned Inesa's lips as she followed him; she didn't want to miss a second of the show that was about to begin.In the bathroom, Isabella was struggling with all her strength."Let me go, Marcus, don't touch me!" she screamed, desperate.But he wasn't listening; the alcohol had clouded his judgment."Don't be such a prude, Isabella, let's have some fun togeth

    CHAPTER 46: "I WILL GET IT BACK FOR YOU"Throughout the entire drive, Sebastian didn't say a word. He was furious, and Amanda's words kept echoing in his head. She had said that Isabella was hiding something, and he suspected it too, which indicated it was true. He turned his face and saw her looking out the window, her expression lost in thought.On the other hand, Isabella's hands trembled slightly as she tried to control her breathing. From where she sat, she could feel Sebastian's fury. But what worried her most were the doubts Amanda had sown between them."You have to tell him the truth, Isabella, you have to tell him everything," she told herself.When they arrived at the apartment, Nicholas was already asleep. The nanny they had hired stayed to take care of him, so Isabella and Sebastian went directly to the bedroom. He closed the door and got straight to the point."What were you doing with your ex-husband alone?" his words came out cold and hard.Isabella turned and swallowe

    CHAPTER 47: "WAIT FOR HIM IN THE MORNING."At a secluded table in the Dark Rose club, Sebastián, Inesa, and the investor were waiting for their drinks."Have you seen how the stock market has fluctuated lately? It's crazy," the investor said, starting a conversation with Sebastián."Yes, especially with tech stocks. They've been very volatile."Meanwhile, Inesa was typing on her phone."He's here," she wrote. The other person quickly responded, "Are we sticking to the plan?" "Of course," she replied.The truth was that Inesa had prepared everything in advance, so the investor's proposal was no coincidence. She had told him to make the invitation, claiming that Sebastián was under too much stress at home.Meanwhile, at the apartment, Isabella was finishing the last details for the surprise. She had placed the test in a gift box and had also prepared a special dinner. However, Sebastián did not answer her message. She looked at the phone again and decided to call, only to be met with th

    CHAPTER 48: "OPEN THE DOOR."The taxi stopped in front of the club, and Isabella stormed out like a demon. One thought kept repeating in her mind: she would not let herself be fooled again. Although this hurt more than when Marcus betrayed her with Amanda, this time she wouldn't be the fool who allowed her husband to be taken from her.She entered the club and headed to the reception desk."Sebastián Ashford?" she asked firmly.The receptionist hesitated to give her the room number, but seeing the fury emanating from Isabella, she finally relented."Room 201," she said in a trembling voice.Isabella headed to the elevator and, once inside, took a deep breath. Upon reaching the floor, she stood in front of room 201 and began pounding on the door."Open the door, Sebastián! I know you're in there! Open the damn door and face me!"Inside the room, Amelia's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing Isabella's voice. It wasn't part of the plan for her to show up."What do I do? What do I do?"

She observed Sebastián more closely. His breathing was irregular, and his skin was cold.Panic intensified within her.She left the room and found Amelia about to leave."What did you give him?" she demanded, her voice filled with fury.Amelia got nervous, trying to maintain her composure."He's just drunk," she said, avoiding Isabella's gaze.Isabella stared at her, noticing the nervousness in her eyes."He's not drunk!" she shouted. "You drugged him, you bitch! What did you give him?"Amelia shook her head but couldn't hide the fear on her face."I don't know what you're talking about," she said, her voice trembling.Isabella lost control and lunged at Amelia, grabbing her by the hair."You're going to tell me right now what you gave him!" she screamed, shaking her violently.

Isabella waited outside the emergency room, each passing minute without news feeling like an eternity.Finally, the doctor came out, removing his gloves with a serious expression."How is my husband?" Isabella asked, jumping to her feet."Stable, but he hasn't regained consciousness yet. The sleeping pill he was given was in a very high dose, especially considering the patient had consumed a lot of alcohol. We're going to keep him under observation for the next few hours," the doctor explained.Isabella nodded, feeling a momentary relief.She was about to ask when she could see him when Sebastián's parents arrived."How is my son?!" Coraline hurriedly interrogated the doctor. "Where is he? I want to see him!""Calm down, woman," Sebastián's father said. "Let the doctor speak."Isabella had asked Louis to call them, considering that in this situation, it was necessary for them to be present."The pa

Is she devastated?" she asked with a hint of satisfaction."Devastated?! I'm the one who's devastated!" Amelia screamed on the other end, her voice full of anguish.Inesa frowned, her expression changing to a mix of confusion and concern."What happened?""What happened is that bitch went to the hotel! I don't know how or who gave her the address, but she didn't buy the story. She hit me! She was like a madwoman and..." Amelia paused nervously."And what, Amelia?!" Inesa urged, her heart beating faster."And she found out that Sebastián was drugged. She knows it was with sleeping pills. He was in bad shape; I didn't realize it, but I think you overdid it."Alarms went off inside Inesa. Her mind began to work at full speed."How is he?! Tell me, how is he?!""I don't know. I don't know!

Unfortunately, Inesa's father had insisted on having dinner the same night he was supposed to dine with Isabella. But he wasn't willing to stay too long; he would listen to what Rodrik had to say, discuss the loan, and leave."Sebastián, good to see you," Rodrik stood up and extended his hand.Sebastián took it and shook it."Likewise, Rodrik. Since you moved to England, you've forgotten about the United States."The man let out a laugh and sat down."Business in London is going well, and I like to keep an eye on my investments. However, Inesa keeps me updated on what's happening here."Sebastián smiled slightly."Yes, I imagine. Well, since we're here, let's get to the point, Rodrik. I have another engagement tonight, and...""Another engagement? More important than your father's company?"Sebastián gritted his teeth and nodded."I'd dare say it's much more important, so... if you don't mind..

    CHAPTER 97: PUBLIC PROPOSAL.Sebastián slammed the table in frustration."I don't understand how this could have happened, Inesa. The Japanese were convinced; it was almost a done deal."Inesa, with a calculatedly neutral expression, replied."Well, nothing is guaranteed. They suddenly called and said there was a better offer. Although I tried to persuade them, they wouldn't budge. Now the problem is ours. We had invested a lot and didn't sign anything."Sebastián's concern was palpable."How are we going to recover the losses?"Inesa, maintaining a facade of seriousness, hid her internal satisfaction. She had manipulated the situation from the start, ensuring the Japanese withdrew from the deal."We need to find money, and a lot of it," continued Sebastián, his voice laden with desperation. "Payments have to be made by the end of the month, along with the company's payroll and..."Inesa moved closer, feigning empathy she didn't feel."Sebastián, you know you're not alone. Anyway, I'v

    CHAPTER 96: INTERRUPTED RESPONSE.That night, Isabella invited Sebastián to dinner after spending the day at home. Sebastián played with Nicholas, fed Sienna, and proved to be a good father. Isabella was surprised by Sebastián's parenting skills and couldn't help but smile as she imagined Nicholas's happy childhood."And how's school going, champ? Have you made any new friends?" Sebastián asked while they were having dinner.Nicholas speared a tomato and put it in his mouth."There's a girl I like, Dad. I'm going to marry her when I'm older."Everyone at the table was stunned."You... you like her?" Isabella couldn't believe his words."Yes, she's pretty and sweet. I've decided she'll be my wife," he then looked at Sebastián and said with total seriousness, "Dad, I want you to talk to her father."Sebastián wiped his mouth with the napkin and adopted a serious expression with his son."Nicholas, I understand you like her, but love has to be reciprocal. If she falls in love with someon

    CHAPTER 95: UNION OF SOULS.In her office, Inesa slammed the door shut, wishing she could unleash all her rage on something or someone. Suddenly, in a fit of fury, she swept everything off her desk. Sebastián's humiliating words kept repeating inside her."You cursed, a thousand times cursed!" she shouted.To her, Isabella was to blame for everything. If she hadn't appeared in Sebastián's life, she would have succeeded. At this moment, she would be his wife and have the man she had wanted since she met him. But Isabella had shown up to ruin everything, and not content with that, she wouldn't stop bothering him.She walked to the liquor cabinet and poured herself a glass of whiskey. There was a dark and cruel glint in her eyes."Since you insist on being my main obstacle, you leave me no choice, Isabella."She took a sip, and the liquid burned her throat."Because I always get what I want, and what I want right now is for you to disappear."Her phone vibrated on the floor. She bent dow

    CHAPTER 94: "THERE'S ONLY ONE WOMAN I LOVE."Isabella read the message and didn't respond. She looked at the roses again, and the words "throw them away" were stuck in her throat. However, the anger still boiled inside her."Do you think roses are going to fix everything? After all that happened, do you think some flowers can erase it?"She grabbed her purse and car keys, stormed out, and didn't even bother to answer her secretary. When she arrived at the Ashford Enterprises building, everyone stared at her in astonishment and murmured among themselves. Louis, who was coming out of the stationery area, hurried to her."Ma'am... I mean, Miss... You?""Where's your boss?""The boss? He's... he's in the office, but he's in a meeting. If you want, I can...""No need, it will be brief."Isabella turned and went to the office, opened the door decisively, and found Sebastian meeting with another man. Both turned their faces when the door opened; however, Isabella's unfriendly face told them

    CHAPTER 93: "HAS HE KISSED MOM?"In the car, Nicholas was looking at the cityscape. He felt a sense of excitement inside him; today his dad would take him to school, and later his mom would pick him up. It was like being together again. Suddenly, the same question he asked his mom came back to his mind, and this time he asked Sebastian."Dad...""Yes, son," Sebastian said, glancing at him quickly."You and Mom... are you going to get back together?"Sebastian smiled and sighed."That's what Dad is trying to achieve. It's just that Mom..." he laughed again, "she's a bit stubborn."Nicholas nodded."Yeah, Mom is stubborn. I don't know why she doesn't let you come back home if she's just going to cry alone in her room later."Sebastian's eyebrows furrowed, and his demeanor turned serious."Have you seen her?"Nicholas nodded."Yes. But then she'll say it's nothing. But I know she does it because of you."Sebastian gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white. He felt like crap

    CHAPTER 92: "DAD, WILL YOU TAKE ME TO SCHOOL?"Sebastian's lips seized Isabella's with dominance, his eager hands slowly traversing her back as she surrendered to the sensation of his warm fingers gliding over her skin. Her hands closed in on the hair at the nape of his neck, and an involuntary moan escaped her lips, only serving to heighten the desire in both of them.In a burst of passion, Sebastian lifted her by the buttocks and placed her on top of the table, positioning himself between her now-exposed thighs. He pressed his erection against her center, and another moan escaped Isabella's lips. It was wrong, she knew it, but she wasn't strong enough to fight the desires Sebastian awakened in her.He pulled away from her lips and began leaving a trail of kisses down her neck. His warm, wet tongue licked every part of her collarbone, and Isabella closed her eyes, tilting her head back, wishing he would go as far as he wanted. There would be time to regret it later, but at that momen

She was in shock, her heart racing and her breathing heavy. She never imagined he would wake up.Although she was tempted to say yes, the words that came out of her lips were:"No... no, I..." She stepped back and tried to sound firm. "I just came down for some water, saw the blanket on the floor and..." She frowned and shook her head. "You know what? I don't have to explain myself to you, and between you and me..."Isabella was left speechless when Sebastián stood up, revealing his defined, muscular torso, and his lack of pants. She pointed at him, surprised and angry."You...! Why are you in your underwear? What do you think you're doing?"Sebastián ignored her complaint and walked towards her. Isabella took several steps back until her back hit the dining table."What... what... what are you going to do?" she asked, nervous and anxiou

Your father can stay tonight," she said, trying to keep her voice calm.Nicholas beamed and hugged Sebastián tightly. But just at that moment, Elijah intervened."Isabella, I just remembered that there are some urgent legal matters we need to discuss. And we can't leave it for tomorrow," he said, looking at Isabella seriously.Isabella frowned, clearly surprised by the urgency of the matter."Tonight?" she asked, trying to understand the situation. "Can't it wait until tomorrow morning?""I'm sorry, Isabella, but it's crucial that we review it now," Elijah insisted.Sebastián gave him a hateful look and pressed his lips together in frustration, feeling a mix of fury and desperation as he realized that Elijah was determined to take over his family.
