Chapter 04

The satisfaction I felt knew no bounds as I watched Alfred and Iris' eyes widen in shock.

Boom!

I resisted the urge to go to their stupid faces and snap my fingers at them.

“What!” Iris yelled, gaze darting frantically between Sebastian and I, “what?!”

“Surely there must be a mistake,” she said with a chuckle and turned to Mr Knight, “Natalie can't possibly be -”

“Natalie is my wife. And I demand you speak with some respect.”

Dayumm.

“This is a joke. Mr Knight I have no idea how she managed to lure you, deceive you into marrying her but Natalie is nothing but a low life. She has nothing and is not capable of anything except using her body to woo men.”

You've got to be kidding me.

I Clenched my fists as anger flared in me but I decided to not respond.

“Like I said Miss Wilson,” Sebastian stated calmly, “you will speak to my wife with disrespect.”

Iris' jaw dropped and I smirked when her gaze shifted to me.

“Shameless whore!” She spat, “so that's what you've been doing huh? Throwing your body around?”

“Miss Wilson!” Sebastian snapped before I could respond, “Effective immediately, every contract you have with my company is terminated, including that of your boyfriend over there.”

Alfred shrieked, but Sebastian went on. “I shall not have you come into my building and disrespect my wife. Now, I suggest you leave before I call the security to throw you two out.”

“But - but….”

Alfred on his part was just standing frozen staring at Sebastian as if he could not quite believe what had just happened.

Iris’ gaze was filled with so much hatred and anger when she turned to look at me and I met it with a grin.

I took a few steps closer to her and leaned closer to whisper, “This is just the beginning sister dearest. I promise you, by the time I am done with you - not only will I take all that is mine, but I will also strip you bare with nothing like you did me. I am going to make your life a living hell Iris, I promise you this.”

I didn't give her a chance to respond before turning and following Sebastian into his office.

“So wife, tell me just what was so important that you came all the way to see me here.” Sebastian said the moment we got into his face.

I watched him, momentarily speechless as he leaned back on the chair in his office, his smile baffling me. How it was possible for a human to be that handsome, this hot - really shocks me to my mirror.

I cleared my throat when i realised i have stared two seconds too long.

“I do not want a divorce.” I blurted out.

He raised his brow, “Hmmm. Why the sudden change of heart.”

“It is a long story but to summarise with one sentence - I want to make you an offer.”

Sebastain reclined in his seat, his eyes dancing as he smiled, “Oh really?”

“I do not want a divorce,” I placed my arms on the table, “not until two years. What I want is YOU. The Sebastian Knight.”

“You still are not making sense.”

“Find. My sister and fiance somehow managed rob trick me into signing all of my assets to them - well not exactly tricked but she - they betrayed me and took away everything i had. I want what is mine back and i want your help to achieve this.” I looked at him gauging his reaction but he was still smiling so I continued.

“Give me one year. One year of being your wife, mrs Knight, and in return -”

“Yes, Natalie. What do I get in return?”

I took a deep breath, “You name your price.”

He smiled again, drumming his fingers on the table.

“First, tell me what happened in more detail and why your own sister would do that to you like that.”

So with a deep breath, I told him. Every single thing.

From how my father had invested so much for my sister and I, Iris only decided to choose a reckless life, making my father hand over a bigger percentage of the company to me.

To how I had met Alfred and allowed him to trick me into trusting him and falling for his and Iris’ plot.

By the time I was done, Sebastian was already clenching his fists hard as if trying to restrain himself from knocking the whole table over.

“I am really sorry for what you had to go through because of another person's greed.”

I shrugged, “I am too. I just feel like i have disappointed my father who trusted me so much - I feel like I have failed him.”

“I am sure he will -”

“Understand?” I interrupted shaking my head, “That does not cut it in anyway. I want what was mine and i want it all. I want Iris and Alfred to pay for their betrayal.”

He nodded and said nothing for a while before releasing a breath and leaning closer to the table.

“Fine, Natalie. But here is my price…YOU.”

“Huh?” I blinked stupidly and he smiled.

“I want you Natalie. You will be my wife but in all ways… that is my price. I want your body.
