The Blackmailer

Sebastian

“Do not let anyone come in, I want to be alone for now,” I told my manager, Ray, as I headed for my office.

We had been working on a multimillion-dollar project for weeks, preparing the presentation for the client, which was just a few weeks away. I needed everything to be perfect, as the contract meant a lot to me. I had been trying to draft the presentation on my own, but I couldn't; my mind kept swaying with different thoughts.

After the presentation meeting, I pushed open my office door, dropping my laptop and files on the table before sinking into my chair.

I let out a deep sigh. On one hand, there was my unwanted marriage with Olivia, and on the other, this project that demanded my full focus. I couldn't afford to lose it.

Lost in thought, still trying to figure out solutions to my problems, my door swung open, and I jumped up in frustration. I had clearly told Ray not to let anyone in as I wanted to be alone.

"Ray!" I shouted, before even

    Chapter EightThe Bad DadSebastian I sat there, my mind racing with a jumble of thoughts. Different questions arose in my mind, but I was unable to find answers to any. Still lost in my thoughts, the loud shrill of my phone jerked me back. I picked up the phone to see it was the alarm. It was time to go pick the girls up from school.I hadn’t told that woman to go back and pick them up after school. I was sure she would make no attempt to do so. I heaved a sigh and packed the files I was working on, along with my laptop, before heading out of the office.I walked to the elevator and waited for it to open. My heart skipped a beat when I saw Liz at the door. I knew she would start another drama.“Are you leaving already, honey?” She smiled, locking her arm with mine.I couldn’t push her away or do anything. I had my laptop in my hand and important files. “Let me go, Liz, my kids must be waiting for me.”“Oh!” She chuckled, “your beautiful girls. I wonder how they might be doing withou

    Chapter NineThe Accident Sebastian Even with all that, I was still unable to scold either of them. I knew they had done a very wrong thing, but I couldn't say anything to them.I drove into the garage, and I got out of the car, along with Ella, but Mia and Ava sat still, not moving."What do both of you think you are doing?" I asked, my brows raised, "let's go in and have the complaint you made withdrawn," I added."But, we don't want to!" Mia grumbled, "she deserves to be locked up there, she is not even our family, why should we worry about her?" She turned away."We don't want to go, we don't want her back in our house and pretending like our mom. We don't want her!" Ava joined in, protesting.I sighed. I couldn't even get angry at them or scold them, even after I saw the wrong in what they've done."Mia, Ava, get down and come with me," I stated and held Ella's hand as I walked into the station.I could hear them grumbling as they stepped out of the car reluctantly, slamming th

    Chapter TenGood-For-NothingOlivia I cranked my eyes open, one after the other. My head spun as the light shone on my face. I forced my eyes closed again, my head racing with thoughts, wondering where I was and how I had gotten here.The scent, the environment, everything felt different, and for some minutes, I felt like I was lost, I didn't know where I was.Slowly, I opened my eyes one after the other again, and the sterile scent hit my nose. I realized I was in the hospital. I lay there on the bed, and it was like my whole body was glued to it; I couldn't move. I stared blankly at the ceiling, trying to recap what had brought me to the hospital.I remembered how I ran to the road to save Mia from getting hit by the car, I remembered the loud crash and the mighty collision between the car and me, which sent me unconscious.I looked around my body, checking to see if I didn’t miss any of my limbs as a result of the accident. I heaved a loud sigh when I saw that I was fine and had a

    Chapter ElevenThe Family Dinner 1Olivia"Everyone will be present for a family dinner in a few..." Sebastian stopped and glanced at his watch, "few minutes," he concluded as he drove into the garage of his house.We had just gotten back home from the hospital. It was already late in the evening before he came to pick Ella and me up from the hospital. He said he had some important work to attend to first. He cleared the bills, and I was also given some drugs which they said would serve as pain relief for me.We all alighted from the car, and Sebastian spoke again, "Make sure you dress well; my sister will be present. She missed the ceremony, so make sure you impress her," he stated. He was already dressed in a white-grey shirt and black trousers.My heart raced; how was I supposed to impress his sister? I hadn't even impressed him and his other two kids yet. How could I impress someone I hadn't even met again? It felt like a heavy burden was placed on my shoulders. How was I supposed

    Chapter TwelveThe Family Dinner 2I stepped down from the stairs, trying to maintain the best expression possible. Like Sebastian had said, I had to pretend that we were a perfect couple and that I was happy in the marriage, even when I was not.I faked a smile, trying hard to make it look as real as possible. "Mom," I murmured, rushing into Sara's outstretched arms.She pulled me closer, her hands on my back making it difficult to breathe. I felt like I was going to suffocate in her embrace. She made it worse when she said, "Be a good girl and act like we're a happy family. You know what will happen if you don't."She smiled and pulled back, wiping her fake tears off her face. "You look so beautiful, my daughter," she complimented, scrutinizing my whole body from head to toe.Mitchie walked over to us too, holding my hand with a smile on her face, one which I knew was fake. "Sister, I missed you so much," she murmured, pulling me into her embrace.I smiled back, trying my best to ma

    Chapter ThirteenA Night Of PleasureSebastian"You girls should head up to your room; I will see you in a few minutes," I said to my daughters. They nodded and rushed up the stairs, except Ella, who wasn't as excited as the other two.I knew she was still upset because of the request she made, one I might never be able to fulfill. I couldn't let Olivia get too comfortable or give her the chance to think she could replace Sophia in my life. Olivia was a nobody, and she would always remain that way. There was no place for her in my heart or in my house.All I wanted from her was to get pregnant and give my parents the heir they wanted from me. I would be free from her afterward."Ella," I called, and she stopped, turning back to me with her worried eyes.As much as I didn't want Olivia to get comfortable and take Sophia's place, I had no other choice than to grant Ella's request. I couldn't keep watching her with that worried look on her face. She had been weary and anxious since the da

    Chapter FourteenThe Adult FightOliviaI opened my eyes one after the other, staring at the white ceiling of the room blankly, I was still wrapped up in the duvet.As I laid there, memories of the night before swept through my mind, and a chuckle escaped my lips. I felt different, I felt more like a woman, I felt like something had changed within me after the intimate night we had.I remembered how he showed no emotions through the time we had together, he just has a stern look on which eventually killed all the series of emotions pulsing through my veins, leaving me numb and hopeless under him. His thrust didn't change my numbness, it only intensified it. Was I not likeable? What was it about me that this man doesn't like? He only did all he did just to get me pregnant like he had said. My first priority was to give the family a heir.Nevertheless, I still felt different.I knew it wouldn’t be easy to impress him, especially not when he already made me know my place in the house, I k

    Chapter FifteenThe Marriage ShackleSebastian I stared at the envelope in my hand, finding it hard to believe what my parents had just said: a honeymoon with this woman? I turned slowly to meet her anxious look, and it only intensified my uneasiness. I didn't want to go anywhere with her. Having her by my side was already difficult enough, so the idea of going on a honeymoon with her, just the two of us alone in a room, was something I didn't like and didn't want to happen.I looked up at my mom, who still had a wide grin on her face, and my dad wasn't any different. I had only accepted this marriage for the sake of my kids and the heir needed in the family. I had no intention of getting close to this woman or making her my wife. She had her responsibilities, and she was married for those reasons, not to be my wife."What honeymoon, Mom?" I asked, raising my brows. "Don't tell me you came up with this." I shook my head, turning to my dad. "And Dad, you agreed to this too? Who will t

Keep it with you. We will also head out now.” I responded and turned away immediately because I knew he might want to argue.We got into the car with the kids and headed for the beach resort, which was only known to him. The kids and I sang along with the song that was playing on the radio, and Sebastian eventually joined us. It was such a happy journey to the beach. When the kids stopped si

I opened my eyes one after the other and lay there on the bed for minutes, remembering how sweet and loving my life has been since the past few days.It’s been over a week since all that happened, and we have watched Sophia getting the deserved punishment for what she did to us; she was sentenced to years in jail. I was glad that I got what I wanted at the end of everything, the perfect and loving family I prayed for.I thought I had already lost the child I gave birth to years ago; I thought I was never going to see him. Still, I never knew that the heavens were preparing something special for me. It was just as if these kids came into Sebastian’s world to secure a place for me before bringing me in. Now, I was with my kids and my loving husband, one who would do anything for me.After the ordeal at the hospital, we never heard from Sara and Mitchie again, an

    Chapter One Hundred And ElevenThe Biological MotherOliviaThe distant echoes and cries seemed to call me back from a long sleep. I gasped and jumped up; my head made a loud noise as my eyes were hit with the sunlight.Slowly, I laid back on the bed, trying to remember and understand what had happened. My ears were still so blurry, and I could still hear my name like it was being called from a distance. I could see people staring right at me in the face, fanning me and calling on me, but I couldn’t tell who they were; the blurriness in my eyes wouldn’t let me.I closed my eyes back, trying to chase away the blurriness, and when a hand grabbed mine, the warm touch made me open my eyes again, and I could see clearly now. Sebastian and the kids, they were the ones there.“Thank goodness, thank goodness,” I heard him murmur.“Olivia!” The kids chorused.I couldn’t say anything; I tried to remember it all, how I got here and what happened to me, but it was hard. I closed my eyes back, try

I jumped up from the floor and pushed the door to the ward room open. I met one of the nurses there who was trying to cover her up.“Stop!” I yelled and pushed her away. “She’s not dead; she can’t be dead. She is just sleeping; she is just trying to scare me.” I fell beside her and held her hand.The coldness of her head, the now stiff limbs and closed eyes, her pale face and dry lips, the flat and steady tone of the pulse rate monitor, all of that was a testament to my emptiness. She was gone like they said, and I was left to figure myself out.“No! Olivia!” I screamed out, tears gushing down my eyes.I shook my head multiple times, I pinched myself countless times; it couldn’t be true. It was just a terrible nightmare that I could still wake up from.“Please don’t punish me this

I closed and opened my eyes, blinked several times just to be sure that I wasn’t seeing and making up things, that what I watched was real, that what I heard was the truth, but it was hard.How could Sophia do this to me? I felt more miserable than before, I felt dumb and used. How could I have believed all that she showed me for love? I could remember how she was so persistent, how she kept on asking the pins and passcode of everything I possessed; I thought she was just curious.How could I have been so dumb? I hung my head; I thought I possessed so much authority, I thought I was a man people looked up to, but I was nothing. I was just an empty barrel, someone who would mistake obsession for love, one who could be easily manipulated.I had never felt vulnerable in my entire life, but watching all that, I realized that I had been more than vulnerable; I also played dumb.

I was glad that he was here, because it wouldn’t have been easy or even the same without him, I was grateful to him.He was always there for me, unlike my stepmom and stepsister, they weren’t even bothered about what was going on in my family, they didn’t even call me once to ask how it was all going. I hope that someday they would realize their mistakes and apologize for it.“Good morning, Vivi.” Bert came out of the room and pulled me into his embrace.I felt so calm and safe with him. Even though Bert was much more younger than me, he had that leading ability and aura that made him feel like an elder brother to me, maybe because of his gender, but he had always been protective and supporting.“How are you?” He asked and I nodded at him. “Are you sure you don’t want to eat anything before we leave? You know you have to

After we made up and began to live a happy and fulfilling life, I never imagined staying without him, it never came to me that there might be a time I wouldn’t be able to be with him, I would have planned and thought about how to deal with it.But who would wish bad on themselves?

I stared at my handcuffed hands, this was what I was scared of, this was the reason I tried to stay away from any other woman and even Olivia for those months after our marriage.Now, I was face to face with my fear, I was facing my reality and there was no escape for me. If only I had told everyone the truth about what happened then, if I had told them what happened that night, maybe it would have been easier to get away from this, but now, there was no way out.“Come on.” The cop said and grabbed my hand, dragging me into the courtroom.At the door, we met with Sop
