CHAPTER 64: "HE CAN HELP YOU"

"Honey, it seems like someone is knocking at the door," murmured Nick, Lucy's husband.

"Do you think so? Who could it be at this hour?" Lucy responded, half-asleep.

"I don't know, but we better go check."

The two got out of bed and went downstairs. When they opened the door, Isabella was there with swollen eyes and a suitcase waiting.

"Isabella? What are you doing here?"

Isabella said nothing, simply dropped the suitcase and threw herself into her friend's arms.

"I lost him again," she sobbed through her tears, "I lost him..."

Lucy hugged her friend and led her inside.

"But... what happened? What did you lose?"

Nick took the suitcase and they went in.

"I found him," Isabella said, doing her best to calm down. "I found my son."

Lucy opened her mouth and looked at her friend incredulously.

"Are you telling me that... that...?"

"Yes," Isabella nodded. "Sebastian's son is my son."

"Oh my God, Isa! It can't be... How? Where is he? How did you find out?" Lucy a

    CHAPTER 65: "GETTING RID OF HIM"Two days later..."I hope that when you realize everything, it won't be too late..."Isabella's last words had been replaying in Sebastian's mind. It had been two days since he asked her to leave, and it had been total hell for him. Nicholas refused to eat, while Sienna only cried for her mother. Nevertheless, Sebastian refused to give in; his anger and pain were still wreaking havoc inside him. He had believed he had it all, only to wake up and discover he had been living in a dream. And his stupid heart wouldn't cooperate because even though Isabella was that cruel and heartless woman, he couldn't stop being in love with her.A knock on the door pulled him out of his thoughts. He adjusted his emotions and spoke."Come in."Mateo poked his head in."Can we talk?"Sebastian just nodded."What's up? And since when do you ask?""Well..." Mateo put his hands in his pockets and stopped in front of his friend's desk. "You've been in a foul mood for two days

Elijah Davenport gave her a smile, and the dimples in his cheeks appeared."Isa, trust me, okay? Your kids will be with you sooner than you think."She nodded nervously and tried to smile. However, nothing that was happening made her happy; she felt a deep void in her heart, and she was also afraid, afraid of what she would have to face. After Lucy told her that Elijah would help her, she contacted him, and consequently, he had flown from New York to Chicago just to take her case. And after explaining and telling him what Marcus did, Elijah told her they would go to court. They would face a custody battle for her children, so in summary: she was going to face Sebastián.The first step was to file for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, and once processed, if no agreement was reached, they would go to trial."Isabella…" Elijah extended his

How long have we known each other? Besides, what I'm doing is nothing." Elijah returned the smile warmly.Isabella smiled again and withdrew her hand."I know, but I can't stop thinking that… you came here just for me. Your job…""Listen," he interrupted her gently and made her look into his eyes."Stop thanking me for everything, stop worrying about everything, okay? Isabella, you have to show strength, especially for what's coming. If you keep that attitude, I'm afraid that… even if we present evidence, your ex-husband will wipe the floor with you."Isabella nodded slowly, although her heart pounded at the thought of facing Sebastián in court."Elijah, isn't there a way that… we don't go to court?"He shook his head."No, your husband was very clear in stating that he would seek legal custody of the children, a

Isabella asked, desperate."In the emergency room, the doctors are attending to him."Isabella headed towards the indicated room, her heart pounding."Nicholas, mom is here," she thought with determination. "I'm going to take care of you, no matter what."Meanwhile, Sebastián, unaware of everything, was still attending to the potential partners in the office.Beside him, Inesa saw the phone light up and picked it up. Her lips tightened when she saw it was Isabella."Sebastián, could you give me a tour of the company? I'd like to see the advertising area," one of the men

The monitors emitted rhythmic beeps, and the air smelled of antiseptic as Nicholas remained asleep.Elijah stayed close, offering his silent support with a hand on Isabella's shoulder.Just then, the door to the room burst open, and Sebastián rushed in, followed by Inesa. His gaze immediately landed on Isabella and Elijah, and his expression darkened upon seeing Elijah's hand touching his wife. His fists clenched involuntarily, and he felt a scorching heat rise from his neck to his cheeks.However, though jealousy consumed him inside, Sebastián decided to stay quiet and focus on his son's situation."How is Nicholas?" Sebastián tried to stay calm, but his voice trembled slightly. He couldn't help but cast furtive glances at Elijah, increasingly irritated by his presence.Isabella looked up, her eyes meeting Sebastián's, hers filled with a mix o

Entering her son's room, memories of the days before everything came to light overwhelmed her. She placed a hand on her chest, trying to calm her racing heart."At least you're with him, Isabella. That's something, it's something until Elijah finds that damn lawyer," she thought, trying to find solace in her own words.Suddenly, the door slammed shut. Isabella turned and found Sebastián, who was staring at her intently while locking the door."So now you don't even have the decency to come alone? Do you have to bring that idiot with you everywhere?" Sebastián snapped, his tone accusatory.

They made me believe he was dead for six years, do you have any idea what it's like to live with that? First, I cried in front of an empty grave. I blamed myself, day and night, for not being a good mother. Then, when the bastard I thought was the man I loved, and the father of my child, told me he was alive, I felt my world collapse. That's the damn truth, Sebastián. I never planned anything, and I think it was God or destiny that led me to cross paths with Nicholas, but I don't regret it, you know why? Because now I've found him, and I swear that nothing, and no one, will separate me from him again, do you understand? No one!" Isabella said, with tears in her eyes.Sebastián remained silent and tempted to believe her, but everything seemed too ridiculous. He laughed, as if what she had just told him was a joke."Too fanciful,

The storm inside him hadn't calmed, despite his deep love for Isabella. The image of her with Elijah filled him with fury and distrust. He couldn't believe in her, not after everything that had happened. However, a small doubt constantly gnawed at him: what if Isabella really was innocent as she claimed?The sound of the door pulled him out of his thoughts. Louis, his secretary, entered and informed him that the lawyer he had requested had arrived. Sebastián nodded and motioned for him to come in.The lawyer, a middle-aged man with gray hair at the temples and an impeccably tailored suit, entered the office with determined steps. His confident and professional demeanor was reflected in his sharp gaze and the firm handshake he offered Sebastián, making it clear he was used to winning."Mr. Ashford, it's a pleasure to meet you," said the lawyer, with a ca

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..

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

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.

    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

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.
