Chapter 41

Natalie’s POV

There was something about the way Sebastian moved lately—slow, almost like he was carrying something heavy that nobody else could see. He’d sit down, pick up his phone, scroll through a few messages, and then put it down like it was something painful to hold.

I noticed the change in him first at breakfast, then at dinner, and now it seemed to follow him everywhere, like a shadow only I could see.Today, we were sitting in the living room, and I couldn’t keep quiet any longer. I leaned back on the couch, watching him, trying to catch his gaze. He’d look up at me, give me a half-hearted smile, then quickly glance away, back to his phone or just down at his hands. That wasn’t like Sebastian.

Normally, he’d give me one of his big, warm grins, the kind that made me feel like I was the only person in his world. But today, his world seemed to be somewhere else, somewhere far away from me.

“Sebastian?” I said softly, my voice gentle but firm. He looked up, a bit

    Chapter 42: Sebastian's POVWould I be considered a frog for pretending to go to bed after Natalie had spoken peace to my soul? I couldn't find myself sleeping. And please, don't think I'm overreacting or being immature for putting up with this kind of behavior. Only the bitten one knows how to avoid the serpent.I had gone to make myself a cup of coffee to perhaps bring my thoughts to calm,but no. It was all to no avail. The house was too quiet. It made my thoughts louder, and I didn’t like it. I couldn’t sleep. Natalie was beside me, sleeping soundly. I could hear her steady breathing, but it didn’t calm me. My mind was stuck on Samantha.I turned to look at Natalie. Her face was soft in the dim light from the window. She always looked so peaceful when she slept. I wished I could feel the same, but my chest felt tight. I lay there for a while, staring at the ceiling, hoping the heaviness would go away. It didn’t.Finally, I got up. The floor was cold under my feet, and I tried not

    Chapter 43Sebastian's POVThe meeting with Samantha stayed in my head all night. I tried to shake it off, but it didn’t work. Her smile, her words, the way she talked—it was too smooth. Too perfect. People like Samantha didn’t change overnight. Hell, they didn’t change at all.I had returned home after a terrible meeting headed by mom and Samantha and I'd gladly proclaim it the worst meeting of my life.Natalie noticed I was off. She didn’t push, though. She never did. “You’ll figure it out,” she told me before bed. I nodded, but I didn’t know if I believed it.Come to think of it, it seemed as though this marriage of a thing we thought wouldn't see the end of day is what's being so flawless. I bless the day I met her.The next morning, I woke up tired. I’d barely slept. Natalie was still in bed, curled up under the blanket. I made coffee, hoping it’d help me think clearer.What was Samantha really up to? Was she trying to make Mom happy? Or was she playing some long game? Knowing he

    Chapter 44Natalie's POVThe day started normal enough. I wasn’t thinking about Samantha, or Sebastian, or anything heavy. Just errands. I needed to go shopping. Sebastian didn’t like shopping much, so I decided to go alone. I didn’t mind - it gave me a chance to clear my head.It was sunny but not too hot. A good day to be out. I parked at the boutique, and headed inside. I had a list on my phone: just usual stuff. Nothing special.I was almost done shopping when I felt it. That weird feeling like someone’s watching you. I brushed it off at first. The boutique was busy. Lots of people around. It was probably nothing.But then it didn’t go away.I looked over my shoulder, pretending to check my phone. There was a man standing near a different aisle, just staring. He wasn’t tall, not short either. Average-looking. He had a black cap pulled low over his face and wore a plain jacket. Nothing about him screamed danger, but the way he stared... it was off.I ignored him and moved to the n

    Sebastian’s POVI stood there for a second after she handed me the piece of paper, just staring at the address on it. Natalie was still sitting, her hands shaking, her face pale. I knew she was scared, but I couldn’t show it. I had to be calm. For her, at least.“What did he say exactly?” I asked, trying to sound normal.I didn’t like the way she looked at me. Like she was waiting for some kind of reassurance I couldn’t give her. There was a part of me that wanted to tell her it was nothing, that she didn’t need to worry. But I knew better than that. This wasn’t nothing.“He... he said you need to meet someone,” she said, her voice trembling. “That if you don’t, things will get bad. Really bad.”I folded the paper again, shoving it into my pocket. “Don’t worry about it, okay? I’ll take care of it.”I hated saying that. Hated lying to her, but what else could I do? I couldn’t tell her the truth—not yet. I needed to figure this out first. It didn’t matter who this guy was or why he was

    I couldn’t shake the feeling that Sebastian was hiding something from me. As he stood by the window, staring out like it could give him the answers he needed, I just watched. His back was turned, but I could still see how tense his shoulders were. He was acting like nothing had happened, but I knew better.“Sebastian,” I called out, trying to keep my voice steady. “You’re not telling me everything, and I need to know what’s going on.”He didn’t move, didn’t respond. I was starting to get frustrated. This wasn’t how things were supposed to be. I wasn’t just going to back down because he didn’t want to talk. I couldn’t let him keep me in the dark when everything felt off.“I’m serious,” I continued. “Who was that man? And why come to me instead of you? What’s going on that I don’t know about?”Finally, he turned around, his face unreadable. He looked at me, then looked away, like he was weighing something in his mind. “I didn’t want you involved, Natalie. That’s all. You’re better off n

    Chapter 47: Natalie’s POV“Look who see here, Natalie. ” Iris said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.I froze mid-step, the sound of her voice hitting me like a slap. My heart sank as I turned to face the one person I had hoped to avoid for the rest of my life - my sister, Iris. Standing beside her, with a smug smirk fixed on his face, was Alfred. The unrepentant asshole.My jaw clenched, but I forced myself to stay calm. “Iris,” I said evenly, trying not to let my voice shake. “Alfred.”“Didn’t think we’d bump into each other so soon,” Iris said, crossing her arms. She was wearing a sleek, overpriced dress that screamed money, her long nails painted a shade of red that matched her lipstick. Everything about her was polished and sharp, just like her personality.Alfred, on the other hand, looked as smug as ever. His expensive watch glinted under the mall lights, and he had that same arrogant air about him that I used to find charming—until I learned the hard way how deceptive it was.“W

    Sebastian's POV The walk up to the house felt like dragging chains behind me. Every step was heavier than the last. I stuffed my hands deep in my coat pockets. I wasn’t here for nostalgia. I just deeply regretted why I was here. But I needed to be here. My mother's husband couldn't get away with his "threats".Before I could knock, the door swung open.“Sebastian.”She stood there - Mom - looking exactly how I remembered. Her hair tied back in that same tight bun she always wore when she was annoyed. The lines on her face had deepened, though, like life had been pressing its thumb down hard on her lately. She looked at me like I was a stranger.“What are you doing here?”Straight to the point. I stared at her for a second, debating whether to be polite or blunt, especially after our last encounter. I went with blunt.“I need to talk to your husband.”Her expression tightened, the way it always did when his name came up. “ That’s why you’re here?”“Yeah.” I tried stepping past her, b

    Natalie~~~~~~I sat on the couch, staring at the empty coffee cup in my hand. The room was quiet, but my mind wasn’t. It kept replaying the moment I saw Iris and Alfred today. The smug look on Iris’s face, the way Alfred stood there like nothing had happened between us. It made my stomach turn.I put the cup down on the table and leaned back, closing my eyes. I needed to think, to plan, but all I could feel was anger. No, not just anger - betrayal, frustration, everything mixed together. I felt like I was sinking in it.The door opened, and I heard Sebastian’s footsteps before I even looked up. He walked in, his coat around his arm, and stopped when he saw me.“You look terrible,” he said, blunt as ever.“Thanks,” I muttered. “Just what I needed to hear.”He dropped his coat on the chair and sat across from me. “What happened?”I sighed, rubbing my temples. “I saw them today.”“Them?”“Iris and Alfred,” I said, my voice shaking a little. “They were together.

    (Natalie’s POV)I was done crying. My head hurt, my eyes felt swollen, and my body was just… tired. I had spent the last two days in my apartment, ignoring calls, ignoring the news, ignoring everything. But no matter how much I tried, the anger wouldn’t go away.Sebastian had destroyed everything.I used to think he was different, that he wasn’t like the rest of them. But I was wrong. He was just another liar who thought he could get away with anything because he had money.I stared at my phone. Twenty missed calls from him. I didn’t care. I wasn’t going to listen to his excuses.A knock on my door.I ignored it. Probably a neighbor or some delivery mistake.Another knock.

    Chapter 70(Sebastian’s POV)I sat in the backseat of the car, staring at my reflection in the tinted window. My suit felt too tight, my tie like a noose around my neck. The press conference was in thirty minutes, and I had no idea what I was going to say. How do you explain yourself when even you don’t understand the mess you’re in?I rubbed my temples, exhaustion weighing me down. For the past few days, my name had been everywhere—on the news, on social media, in headlines screaming for my downfall. They called me a liar, a fraud, a man who built his success in deception which was far from the truth. my sex tape has just been leaked. how did it get this serious? Definitely blogs that are trying to get clicks then decide to come up with more lies.Natalie hadn’t spoken to me. She ignored my calls, my texts. The last thing she said was in the letter she wrote me. I ruined everything.My driver pulled up in front of the hotel where the press conference was being held. Cameramen and r

    Sebastian's POVI’m done.That’s all I can think about now. Done. Done with trying to fix this mess. Done with pretending everything’s fine. Done with the people who think they can control me. Done with the constant reminder that I screwed up.I stand at the window of my penthouse, looking out at the city. Everything’s moving, but I’m stuck. My life’s a wreck, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it from falling apart. The media’s relentless, the calls keep coming, and no one cares about what I’m going through. They care about the scandal. They care about the video. They care about the fallout.The phone on the desk buzzes. I don’t even need to check. It’s probably another call from Jason or one of the PR team members. I haven’t picked up in hours. Maybe days. I don’t care anymore. What’s the point? They’re just telling me the same thing over and over again.“Do damage control, Sebastian. Release a statement. Make a public apology.”I’ve heard it all. But none of it feels real. I don’

    Natalie’s POVI sat on the edge of my bed, staring at my phone like it was some kind of ticking bomb. The video was everywhere now. It didn’t matter how much I wanted to look away, how much I told myself to stop checking, I couldn’t. It kept playing in my head. Samantha’s smirk. Sebastian’s voice. The whole thing made my stomach turn.I’d spent the entire night tossing and turning, trying to figure out how I felt. Angry? Definitely. Hurt? That didn’t even begin to describe it. But there was something else. Something heavier. I couldn’t shake the feeling of disappointment. Disappointment in him... and maybe even in myself.I put my phone down on the nightstand and stared at the ceiling. The fan spun slowly, making a faint creaking sound with every rotation. It was too quiet in here. I hated it. Quiet gave my thoughts too much room to grow.Sebastian.I’d trusted him. Believed in him. And he’d destroyed it all. The video wasn’t even the worst part. It was everything that came before it

    Sebastian’s POVThe moment Samantha stepped into my penthouse, I knew this wasn’t going to end well. She looked too calm, too rehearsed. Her designer dress clung to her as if she wore it for the cameras that weren’t even here.“Why did you do it?” I asked, keeping my tone steady, though my fists were clenched tightly at my sides.“Do what, Sebastian?” Her voice was smooth, too smooth, as she walked past me and made herself comfortable on the couch like she owned the place.“You know exactly what I’m talking about. The tape. It’s everywhere now. I’m being dragged through the mud, and you’re acting like nothing happened.”She raised an eyebrow, crossing one leg over the other. “You think I leaked it?” Her voice carried a mocking edge, her lips curling into a faint smirk.I hated how confident she seemed, how unbothered she looked. “It’s not a matter of what I think, Samantha. It’s about the fact that you’re the only person who had access to that tape.”She laughed - a cold, sharp sound

    Sebastian's POVI sat on the couch, staring at nothing, the weight of the day pressing against my chest. My head was pounding, and the walls around me felt like they were closing in. The video wasn’t real - it couldn’t be real. I kept telling myself that, clinging to the hope that there was some mistake, that someone had manipulated it.But the world didn’t care about what was real. The world cared about what it saw. And right now, it had seen enough to crucify me.I forced myself to reach for my phone, the screen lighting up with more missed calls and messages than I could count. Friends, strangers, coworkers - all of them with something to say. I couldn’t bring myself to open them, not yet.I took a deep breath and opened Natalie’s contact. I hesitated. What could I even say to her? “I’m sorry” wasn’t enough. “It’s not what it looks like” sounded like a cliché. But I had to try.I dialed her number.It rang once, twice... and then went to voicemail.I hung up before I could leave a

All she saw was Samantha, and she wouldn’t listen to me when I tried to explain what happened. I slammed the front door behind me, my hands shaking with anger.I didn’t even know what I was angry at anymore. Was it my mom for acting like everything was fine? Was it Samantha for making me look like a fool? Or was it myself for letting it all get this bad?I didn’t know, but I didn’t have time to figure it out. I had work to do.The drive to the office was silent. I couldn’t even bring myself to turn on the radio. Everything just felt... wrong. My head was still stuck on that damn argument with my mom. I’d been so angry I could barely speak to her. Why did she have to keep pushing Samantha on me? She knew what happened between me and Natalie. She knew what I’d done. But it was like none of that mattered.I parked the car and took a deep breath

    Natalie’s POVIt was a quiet afternoon. I was sitting on the couch, scrolling through my phone, trying to distract myself from the mess that was my life. My chest felt tight, like it always did these days. I thought leaving Sebastian would make me feel free, but instead, it felt like I had lost a part of myself.I kept telling myself it was the right thing to do. He wasn’t good for me anymore. The trust was gone, and without trust, what’s the point? But even knowing that didn’t make it easier.As I scrolled, my phone buzzed with a notification. It was a message from an unknown number. My heart sank a little. I didn’t know why, but I had a bad feeling about it.I opened it.The message was short: “Thought you should see this. - Samantha.”Samantha. Of course, it was her. I felt my stomach twist. I didn’t want to deal with her. I didn’t want to deal with any of it. But before I could decide whether to delete it or block the number, another message came through.It was a video.I hesitat

    Sebastian’s POVI didn’t want to go to her. Not again. But something in me just...snapped. Maybe it was Natalie’s text, or the way Mom kept defending Samantha like she could do no wrong. Either way, I found myself driving to Samantha’s house. The sky was gray, and the roads were almost empty. I felt like I was driving straight into a storm.When I got to her house, I sat in the car for a while. My hands were gripping the steering wheel so hard it hurt. I didn’t even know what I was going to say to her. Part of me wanted to turn the car around and leave, but the other part, the angry part, wanted answers.I got out and walked up to her door. My heart was pounding, but I didn’t care. I knocked, and after a few seconds, the door opened. There she was, standing there like she wasn’t the reason my whole life was falling apart.“Sebastian,” she said, smiling like nothing was wrong. “I didn’t expect to see you.”“Yeah, well, here I am,” I said, pushing past her into the house.
