Sebastian’s POV

Waking up not to see the woman I had had sex with beside me was a mystery to me. Where the hell did she go? I got a grip of myself as I cleared my eyes, only to see I was naked.

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? He was proba

    Natalie’s POVI 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 between us

    Natalie’s POV I 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.

    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 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

    (Natalie’s POV) I woke up the next morning feeling tired but knew I had to get ready for work. I stretched and thought about everything that happened yesterday. Being with Sebastian felt comforting, even if his mom didn’t seem too happy with me staying. I pushed the thoughts aside as I needed to focus on my job now. I dressed up quickly and hurried out of the house. The drive to work was quiet. My mind wandered to how the company had been acting strange recently. A few months ago, I found something wrong with the money in the accounts. At first, I thought it was just a mistake, but the more I looked into it, the more I thought there might be fraud happening. I had talked to Sebastian about it before, and he helped me figure things out. Now, it seemed like things were going wrong again. When I arrived at the office, everything looked normal. People were at their desks, typing away, answering phones, and working on their tasks. But I couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t ri

    Chapter 36 Sebastian's POV I walked into the bar after a long day at work. I was tired and just wanted to relax with a drink. The bar was loud. People were laughing, talking, and some were dancing. I looked around for a quiet spot but didn’t find one. I made my way to the bar, the music playing softly in the background. I sat down on a stool and ordered a soda. As I waited, I looked at the people around me. Some were having fun, while others were deep in conversation. I sighed, feeling out of place. I wanted to enjoy my drink and forget about the problems at work. There was a big issue going on, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Natalie was working hard to solve the problem. I just wanted everything to be okay again. As I took a sip of my drink, I noticed someone at the far end of the bar. My heart sank. It was Samantha, my ex-girlfriend. I couldn’t believe it. I never expected to see her here. She looked different but still beautiful. Her long, wavy hair flowed down her shoul

    Chapter 37 Natalie's POV I woke up the next morning. I felt tired but happy because I was married to Sebastian. I smiled when I thought about him. He was so nice, and I loved him very much. I got out of bed and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. The kitchen smelled good. I turned on the stove and got some eggs and bread. I wanted to make a big breakfast because I knew Sebastian would love it. I was mixing the eggs when I heard someone behind me. It was my mother-in-law, Mrs. Smith. She was standing by the microwave, looking at me. She didn’t look happy. “What are you doing in my kitchen?” she asked. Her voice was cold, and I felt a little nervous. I knew she didn’t like me much. “I’m making breakfast for Sebastian,” I said, trying to sound cheerful. “He likes eggs and toast.” Mrs. Smith crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. “He can make his own breakfast. He doesn’t need you to do it for him.” I took a deep breath. I wanted to say something nice back, but I didn’t want to

    The house was too quiet. It was at this moment I knew silence had a sound and could be heard. It wasn’t the peaceful kind of silence. It was the heavy, suffocating kind-the kind that made the air thick, the kind that made my own heartbeat sound too loud in my ears. It pressed against my chest, wrapping around me like an invisible chain. I stood in the middle of the living room, staring at the space in front of me. My hands were clasped together, but my fingers kept fidgeting, twisting over one another. Sebastian hadn’t come downstairs since we got back from the courthouse. I knew where he was. Locked in his study. Alone. I hated this silence. Because it wasn’t really silent. It had a sound—the sound of pain, of grief, of everything that had gone unsaid. I walked toward the couch and sank down, my body feeling heavier than it should. This house wasn’t just a house. It had been a home—a place where we shared laughter, warmth, love. But now… now it felt different. The walls

    The weight of the the whole dramam going on settled on my shoulders like a boulder.I stood outside the police station, gripping my phone tightly in my hand, my thumb hovering over the play button.This was it.The moment I would turn my own mother in.The woman who had raised me, who had held me as a child, who had taught me how to ride a bike—now, I was handing her over to the law.Because she was a monster.Because she had betrayed me.Because she had tried to kill the woman I love.I sucked in a sharp breath, closing my eyes for a second. The night air was cold, biting against my skin. The streetlights flickered above, casting long shadows on the pavement. I could hear the faint sounds of cars honking in the distance, but everything around me felt… muted.Like the world had slowed down.Like I was standing on the edge of something I could never come back from.Then, with a final exhale, I stepped inside.The police station was bright and, the air was thick with the scent of coffee

    I took a deep breath as I stepped out of the elevator and into the familiar space of Grant Enterprises. It had been weeks since I was last here. Weeks since my life had spiraled into chaos. Since secrets had been revealed, betrayals exposed, and the foundation of everything I knew had been shaken to its core. But now, I was back. Back to work. Back to normal. Or at least, as normal as life could get after everything that had happened. The office smelled the same-fresh coffee, crisp paper, the faint scent of polished wood. The soft hum of conversations and clicking keyboards filled the air, blending with the occasional ringing of phones. It was comforting in a way. Familiar. And yet, something felt different. Or maybe I was the one who had changed. …. The first thing I did after settling into my office was call HR. I needed a personal assistant. Ever since I got promoted, I had been handling too much on my own, and after everything that had happened, I knew I couldn’t affo

    The knock on my office door was sharp, deliberate. I didn’t expect anyone. Not at this hour. Not today. I set down my pen, glancing at the clock. 3:47 PM. I had been drowning in work all day, trying to keep my mind off everything that had happened in the past few weeks. Trying to pretend that life was normal again, that I wasn’t standing on the remains of a world that had been shattered beyond recognition. But now, someone was at my door. I straightened, adjusting my tie before speaking. “Come in.” The door creaked open, and my muscles tensed the moment I saw him. Thomas Grant. My stepfather. The man who had been nothing more than a shadow in my life, standing by while my mother did whatever she wanted. A man who never protected me, never spoke up, never did anything except watch. And now, he was here. I said nothing as he stepped inside, his movements slow, cautious—like he knew he wasn’t welcome. His eyes darted around the office before finally settling on me. He cleare

    Sebastian sat on the edge of the bed, his head in his hands. I had never seen him like this before. Not when we were trapped. Not when we thought we wouldn’t make it out alive. Not even when he was injured, fighting to stay conscious. But now—now he looked like a man who had lost everything. His shoulders were tense, his breathing uneven, his fingers tangled in his hair as if he was trying to hold himself together. I sat beside him, close but not too close, giving him space. I wanted to say something, but words felt useless. What could I possibly say to make this better? How do you comfort someone when their entire world has just crumbled? I reached out and gently touched his arm. He flinched. Not in fear. Not in anger. Just in pure, raw pain. I pulled my hand back. For a long moment, the only sound in the room was the distant hum of the city outside, cars moving, life continuing as if nothing had changed. But for Sebastian, everything had changed. Finally, he lifted h

    Four Weeks Later Freedom. That’s what the doctors called it when they finally discharged us. I should have felt relieved. I should have felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. But as I stepped outside the hospital, the cold air filling my lungs, something in my chest still felt tight. Four weeks. That’s how long we had been stuck in that place - four weeks of beeping machines, fluorescent lights, and hushed voices whispering about whether we’d make it. I had spent every one of those days sitting by Natalie’s bedside, waiting for her to open her eyes, for her to say my name. And when she finally had, I’d felt something break inside me - relief so strong it had made my legs weak. Now, she stood beside me, her hand tucked into mine, looking up at the sky like it was the first time she had ever seen it. The sun cast a warm glow on her skin, but she still looked too pale, too fragile. Her body was thinner than before, her movements slower. But her grip on my hand was st

    Darkness. That was all there was at first. A deep, heavy nothingness that felt like me feel like sinking underwater, like being swallowed whole by a world without sound or light. Then came the pain. It was dull at first, a distant throbbing somewhere deep in my body. Then it sharpened, spreading like fire through my veins. My head pounded, my hands felt like they weighed a thousand pounds, and something tugged at my skin - tubes, maybe? I tried to move, but my body didn’t want to listen. Panic curled in my chest. Where was I? I forced my eyelids to move, even though they felt glued shut. A soft beeping sound filled the air, slow and steady. The scent of antiseptic, which was sharp and clean, filled my nose. The air was cold, almost too cold, biting at my skin. A hospital. Memories hit me all at once. The attack. The blood. The feeling of slipping away. I was supposed to die. A shaky breath left my lips, and I turned my head slowly. The effort sent a sharp sting down my neck,

    The city had never felt this big. The streets stretched on endlessly, the lights flashing past like blurs of color as I pushed the car faster. The call kept repeating in my head, a cruel echo that refused to fade. "She lost a lot of blood. There's a high chance she won’t survive." My fingers gripped the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. No. She couldn't die. I refused to let her die. The car roared as I sped through a red light. Horns blared, tires screeched, but none of it mattered. My heart pounded against my ribs like a war drum, my breaths coming out sharp and uneven. The world outside blurred, but my mind was painfully clear. I could still see her face, pale and weak, lying in a pool of her own blood. The memory was like a knife twisting in my gut. "Hold on, Natalie. Just hold on." I had never prayed before. Not once in my life. But as I raced through the city, I found myself muttering desperate words under my breath. I didn’t care who was listening.
