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

    Sebastian’s POVI was sitting in the study, trying to read through some papers. My study was quiet, with the only sound being the hum of the air conditioner. I liked it here because it was away from all the noise in the house. The tall windows showed the city lights outside, but I wasn’t really paying attention. I kept thinking about the other night, when I’d seen Samantha in that bar.I hadn’t expected to see her there. Samantha was my ex-girlfriend, and we hadn’t talked in years. Things between us ended badly, and I thought that was it. I thought I’d never see her again. But then, out of nowhere, she showed up at that bar. And now, for some reason, I couldn’t get her out of my head.Just then, I heard a soft laugh coming from downstairs. I frowned, wondering who it could be. I wasn’t expecting any visitors. My mom was the only one who usually stayed at home during the day, but this laugh didn’t sound like her. It sounded younger… familiar.I got up from my desk, feeling a bit curiou

    Natalie's POV When I got home after a long, tiring day at the office, I was ready to just sit down and rest. I had taken off my shoes right from the car, cause no one's going to stress no girl. The house was quiet. Then I saw Sebastian standing by the window. He was staring outside, his eyes fixed on the lights in the distance. He looked deep in thought, like he was thinking about something important.I walked over slowly. “Sebastian?” I said softly. “Is everything okay?”He didn’t answer at first. He just kept looking outside, not turning to look at me. I waited for him to say something, but he stayed quiet. I started to feel a little worried. I had never seen him this quiet before.Then, all of a sudden, he turned and looked at me. His eyes were soft, and he had a small, sad smile on his face. Without saying a word, he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into a big, warm hug. I was surprised at first, but I hugged him back. His arms felt safe, and I could feel his heartbeat, f

    Chapter 40I sat at the dining table. Breakfast was ready, and everything looked perfect. We had pancakes, eggs, fresh fruit, and even some sweet treats. Normally, I’d enjoy it, but today I felt too distracted to really care.Mom sat across from me, looking serious. I knew that look. She had something to say, something she thought was important. She picked up her glass of orange juice and took a small sip, watching me as if she was waiting for the right moment.“Sebastian,” she finally said, smiling. “I talked to Samantha recently. She reached out to me.”I froze. Hearing that name made my heart beat faster. It seemed Samantha was up to no good. I had made it clear to her I was married, what else does she want now?Mom kept talking, her voice calm and smooth. “Samantha is looking to be a part of the company. She thinks she could bring some fresh ideas to our company, and I agree. I think she would be a good fit.” She gave me a hopeful look, like she was waiting for me to smile or agre

    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

    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

    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.

    The cold night air hit my face as I stepped outside the hospital. The chaos from earlier had faded, leaving behind an eerie quiet. My body felt heavy, my mind even heavier.I should have felt relief.Iris and Samantha were in police custody. They wouldn’t be able to hurt Natalie again. The nightmare should have been over.But it wasn’t.Something inside me wouldn’t rest.I stood near the entrance, watching as the police officers led the two women to the waiting patrol car. Samantha fought against their grip, her wild eyes burning with rage."You think this is over?!" she screamed, twisting in the officer’s hold. "You think you’ve won, Sebastian?! You have no idea what’s coming!"Iris, on the other hand, didn’t say a word. She simply walked forward, her face blank. But I knew better.She was calculating.Planning.Waiting for the right moment.The officers shoved them into the car and s
