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

Her chest felt like it had been pierced by an arrow, and the tears couldn't stop flowing. "Sleep with him?" Isabella shook her head as disbelief still struck her. "Marcus, did you ask me to come here just to send me to another man's bed?" "And what did you expect?" The man's eyes narrowed coldly, and he smiled wickedly. "Did you think I wanted to fix my relationship with you?" Amanda, who was enjoying the spectacle, approached Marcus and gave Isabella a sarcastic smile. "Love, don't say that, can't you see my little cousin dressed up just for you? Although..." Amanda deliberately caressed Marcus's bare chest. "...your attempts are useless, dear. Your husband wants me, not a loser like you." Isabella's lips trembled with helplessness, but she refused to let herself be humiliated. "Don't worry, Amanda. You and he are made for each oth

    CHAPTER 3: ESCAPING FROM THE DISGUSTING MANWhen Isabella opened her eyes, she found herself in a different room from the one she was in when she confronted Marcus. She scanned the room, and everything was luxurious. Without a doubt, she was in the same hotel and had a bad feeling that Marcus had sent her to the man's room. Her heart raced, and she told herself she had to get out of there as soon as possible.She got out of bed and was about to head to the door when someone spoke behind her."Where are you going, sweetheart?"Isabella didn't want to turn around, but she did. Only to see a man in his sixties, fat, and with a sadistic look. Her alarms went off; she had to get out of there. When the man took a step in her direction, she stepped back and warned him."Don't come any closer! Stay away!"The man smiled and licked his lips."I like them like this, fighters. In the end... they do what I want."Isabella's breathing became irregular, and her stomach churned when she saw him lick

And when Isabella licked her lips and her breathing became erratic, causing her chest to rise and fall, it was inevitable that his eyes were drawn to them, and something in him tensed—a mix of concern and another feeling he didn't want to identify.But this didn't prevent him from saying coldly, "Get out of my car.""No." Isabella shook her head hastily. "I can't... please..." as she shook her head, an involuntary moan escaped her lips."Sir, I think she's not well," Louis intervened from behind the wheel.Sebastian gave him a warning look, and his expression hardened."I'm not a Samaritan," he snapped."But sir, she..." Louis tried again, but was interrupted by his boss's harsh and cold words."Get out of my car, this is my

She looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, there were clothes scattered all over the floor in disarray, and everything indicated that what had happened the previous night had not been a dream.Her husband had given her to another man!But she quickly remembered that she had managed to escape from the disgusting man, only to end up with another. She tried to get out of bed, but felt pain all over her body, especially between her legs. She slowly removed the sheet and what she saw nearly made her gasp. Her body was covered in hickeys, even her thighs."Oh my God, what did this man do to me?!"She swallowed a little and turned her face to see his, but he was lying face down. However, Isabella could see his strong muscles and the strange tattoo on his left side, which was some kind of eagle."Stop looking and just leave, befo

What did you say?"Before Nicholas could say more, the men, with stern expressions and determined steps, were quickly approaching."No time, mommy, you have to save me. Those bad men want to take me!" exclaimed Nicholas.Isabella, initially confused, looked at the approaching men and then back at the boy. Something inside her, perhaps maternal instinct or the shocking recognition that her son was still alive, drove her to act without hesitation. With steely determination, she took the boy's hand and, with quick movements, hailed a passing taxi."Come, I'll take you to a safe place," she assured him.Sebastian's bodyguards, recognizing the situation, hurried in a desperate attempt to catch up, but it was too late. Isabella and Nicholas were already inside the vehicle, pulling away.As the taxi disappeared into traffic, one of the bodyguards, visibly agitated, stammered."T

He was the man she had admired all her life."Is he my grandfather?" Nicholas asked, observing the sleeping man.Isabella whispered a "yes" as she slowly approached. Her eyes inevitably filled with tears. Her father had suffered a heart attack that had weakened him after receiving the news that he was bankrupt. The Collins family, owners of several construction companies, had lost everything after some bad investments. Isaac Collins couldn't take it. Isabella, with a melancholic expression, caressed her father's now gray hair."Dad..." she whispered.The man slowly opened his eyes and greeted her with his green gaze. He tried to remove the mask, but she stopped him."Don't do it, you need to get better, understand?" she said, trying to sound calm. "You need to get well so we can be together."Isabella said this just for the sake

    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.

    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.

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

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.
