Sebastian's POV

Her mouth gaped open. She wanted to hide her surprise, but fate was against her.

“Where have you been?” I whispered, not believing she was standing right in front of me. She had been gone for months. I tried calling her line and meeting people she knew but all was to no avail.

“Away from you.” She swallowed hard and went to the sink, the tap gushing out water.

“Why did you leave? You do know you faltered part of our agreement. You're my wife and you have no right to leave my house!”

“Like you own me. I hate this sense of entitlement you men have. And so that I may remind you, we're not legally married. All this isn't real, did you forget that?”

“Of course not. I…just missed you.”

“Get the hell out of here.” She pushed me aside, almost making her way out. “I won't accept you pushing me away with that tiny body of yours. Get back here.” I held her by the wrist.

“What do you want from me?”

“I want you. I want you back as my wife. As my friend. Look, I should even b

    Chapter 23Natalie’s POVI turned to see Sebastian’s face etched with surprise. What? This was not true. “What are you talking about? This is my husband. He can’t steal, so what the hell are you talking about?”I had never seen her face before so what point was she making here? I was pretty sure he barely knew her either. So what the hell was she talking about then?“He knows what I’m talking about. Ask him. I caught him picking her ring that fell. I swear it.”I turned to Sebastian. His eyes narrowed at her. It was obvious she was lying. Speaking of Sebastian stealing her jewelry, Sebastian was a goddamn billionaire. For what purpose will he steal her jewelry? To crown it all, a woman’s jewelry. “Oh, my god. Are you sure of what you’re saying?” Iris ran from the podium to the audience, grabbing her by the arm with this concerned look etched on her face that seemed quite unreal. This wasn’t true. I could feel it in my veins. “You are lying. Why would he want to steal Iris’s jewelry

    Natalie's POV It wasn't true. It couldn't have been. I felt it in my bones that something was definitely wrong somewhere. No, it couldn't possibly be true.I stood outside, my legs not being able to move. What the hell was happening? Sebastian was a billionaire, why the hell would he still? And the fact that he didn't deny it…It has been hours since he had been taken away.mhow would he be feeling now? I needed to see him. He had some explanations to do. This couldn't be what I'm thinking.It's glaring in the face, Natalie. Think! It was wrong to just go into conclusions. I needed to talk to him, so we know what exactly went wrong here. Something in me told me Iris had a hand in this. Np, I needed to go. I went inside, picking up my bag to leave when my aunt called me.“Natalie…” she called as i turned to her.“Yes, aunt.” “What do you think? Please handle things with wisdom.” “Aunt, I believe he didn't do it? I know him well enough not to do such things. I know him well enough. Do

    Sebastian's POV I had been bailed out the evening mother came. As we went into the car, it was a moment of silence. I felt the need to break the silence and convince them that whatsoever they heard was a lie, but something stopped me. Perhaps she had taken back her words and let me back into the house. I knew home wouldn't have changed, and yes, I suffocated staying in the penthouse. It was home and didn't feel like home all the same. It was a mixed feeling I couldn't quite understand.I was glad to see someone who loved and remembered me. I knew she was the strict type, but at least she cared, compared to my biological mother. I was blessed to have someone like her. I shifted my gaze to her to see her looking out of the window, her lips pouched.“I don't want to believe you stole the diamond ring. Sebastian is way more than that. Do you have unfinished business with that lady or what? If you do, fix it.” A smile curled against my lips. This was what a mother’s love felt like. I fe

    Natalie’s povWhat was he about to do? His gaze was fixed on me in a way I hadn’t seen him look at me before. It better not be what I’m thinking. I swallowed, controlling my breathing, gazing into each other’s eyes with a glint of affection, or whatever that thing was. I closed my eyes as his palms smothered my cheeks. His hand was soft and felt like wool. He rubbed harder, drawing closer this time, until we were a little less than an inch closer to each other. What the hell was about to happen? I held my breath as his lips touched against mine. He kissed slowly, gradually taking more and more of my lips seeing I didn’t protest. Geez, I was kissing Sebastian Knight in a public place. What would people think of me? Hold on a minute, to them, we were married, so I needed to rephrase that question. What would I think of myself knowing I kissed him? I pressed away from me, lowering my head. I was ashamed of myself already and never expected things to go this way. “It was a mistake,

But that night, I didn't know what came over me, because this feeling of recklessness was what I felt. Something I hadn't felt since my break up with Alfred.The counter had refused the tip Sebastian offered. I knew he wouldn’t take it lightly, so he went the sexy-rebellious way. “I love your lips. Way better and kissable, compared to my ex's.” Sebastian said as a glint of a smile brushed against my face.“I get that a lot.” “After they kiss you or…?” Huh? Did he hear me say that? Fuck me.“I only let people I like kiss me.”“It means you like me.” “I never said that…” I looked over my shoulder, butterflies. How I wish he could stop with the teasing.No, never stop.Suddenly, I felt his hand draw my jaw to his face as he kissed me slowly, then faster, our tongues wrestling intimate wars, and pleasurable noise nearly rising above the bass beat.Fuck knows.

Oh, my god. Enough reason to know why she ran away. Ha, I’ll use this to taunt her- my runaway one-night stand. She shouldn’t be qualified as my one-night stand. I truly felt something for her but I wasn’t sure yet. Perhaps it was love when I confessed it to her.Come to think of it, how did we get here?I was getting framed for stealing a diamond ring and landed in the police station and Mother came to my rescue and got it. I looked around, picked up my things, and was about to leave when I saw a wallet under a wooden stand. It looked familiar. I picked it up and realized it was Natalie’s. It was disrespectful to open or even get involved with a lady’s purse, but my curiosity got the better part of me. There was a picture of her and her father. He seemed familiar cause why not?

    (Natalie’s POV)The room went quiet after Sebastian said those words. “I love you.” For a moment, I couldn’t even process it. My brain froze, and my heart started pounding, but I had no idea what to say. I just stood there, staring at him, trying to make sense of everything.Sebastian didn’t speak again. He just stood there, watching me, waiting. I could see the tension in his shoulders, the way his jaw was clenched, and I knew he wanted me to say something. Anything.But I didn’t know what to say.I turned away from him, my mind swirling with questions. He loved me? Could that be true? After everything that had happened between us, all the mistakes, could he really mean it?I took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm of emotions in my chest. I needed to think. I needed space.“I need to go,” I whispered, avoiding his gaze.“Natalie...” Sebastian’s voice was soft, but he didn’t move.“I can’t do this right now,” I muttered, heading towards the door. I needed to get out of here, cle

    Sebastian’s POVNatalie hadn’t said a word since we left the park. Her eyes were glued to the window, but I knew she wasn’t seeing anything. She was thinking about him. Alfred. The guy who wrecked her and still had the nerve to show up and mess with her head.I hated seeing her like this, trapped in her thoughts. But I didn’t want to push her. Natalie was the type who needed time to process things, to figure out how she felt. But waiting for her to sort through this on her own was killing me.I pulled up in front of her apartment and turned off the engine, letting the silence stretch for a bit. I knew I had to say something before she spiraled deeper into whatever she was thinking, but I wasn’t sure how to start. I gripped the steering wheel, feeling the tension building inside me.Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore. “Are you really thinking about what he said?” I asked, trying to keep my voice calm, even though I was frustrated.She turned to look at me, her face a mix of confusion

    Natalie’s POVI couldn’t sleep that night. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about that phone call. Who was that person? Why did they want to see me? And why now, when everything in my life was already falling apart? I kept hearing that voice over and over again: “See me.”It made my skin crawl.Sebastian stayed by my side the whole night. He didn’t say much, but I could feel how tense he was. I wasn’t the only one scared. It was like we were both waiting for something bad to happen.The next morning, I couldn’t take it anymore. I sat up in bed, looking over at Sebastian, who was awake too. He had dark circles under his eyes, and I knew he hadn’t slept either.“I have to go,” I said quietly.Sebastian looked at me, frowning. “Go where?”“I have to see this person. The one who called me. I need to know who it is.”Sebastian shook his head. “That’s too dangerous, Natalie. We don’t know who this person is or what they want.”“I know,” I said, biting my lip. “But I can’t just

    Natalie’s POV I ran out of the house, my face wet from crying. I was so tired. Tired of everything. Tired of pretending to be married to Sebastian. Tired of his mom saying mean things about me. She called me a gold digger. She said I wasn’t good enough for him. It hurt so much. “Natalie, wait!” I heard Sebastian calling behind me. He was running after me, but I didn’t want to stop. I didn’t want to see him. I didn’t want to talk to him. His mom’s words kept ringing in my head, and I just couldn’t take it anymore. I reached the door, but before I could open it, Sebastian caught up. He gently grabbed my arm and pulled me back. “Natalie, stop,” he said, breathing hard. “We need to talk.” I turned to face him and wiped my face. “I can’t do this anymore, Sebastian,” I said, my voice shaking. “Your mom hates me. She always says I’m not good enough for you. I’m tired of pretending.” Sebastian looked confused. “Pretending? What are you talking about?” “This,” I said, waving my hand bet
