(Sebastian’s POV).“This is what happens when you don’t listen to me, Bastian”I looked at Lennox and squinted my eyes at him. “And that is what would happen whenever you go against my wishes”“What?”I then pointed at his blackened left eye which was obviously caused by someone who had punched his pretty face. He touched his eye and stood up from the bench, “Why does it hurt? Hey, does someone got a mirror for me to see my face?”I chuckled seeing him walking around the prison cell asking for a stupid mirror from the police. Lennox was always careful on his appearance. Having a blackened eye would show his weaknesses on winning a fight.And his wife would not like to know he was in a fight.“Strange friend you have” I heard Charles talking while he sat on my left side of the bench.“Give me one reason to not kill you right now”Charles chuckled and wiped his face with his hand, “What else do you want from me, Sebastian? You won”“I always win. And I will not let you have her” I face
(Akira’s POV)Another week has passed. I walked towards my office and smiled seeing my company was up and running with most vacant positions almost filled in.An old two storey building was purchased and renovated to be a new building with modern architecture. I was happy with the choice of furnishing that Molly had helped me to decorate.She had decided to join my company a week ago. More with the reason to care for me during my pregnancy. Molly was worried for me to raise babies all by myself.But I was no longer alone. I had met with some family members from my mother’s side from Blue Mountain. They were kind and helpful.I never knew them. My grandfather introduced them to me.Finally, I felt love that I had seek for many years. They filled my lonely heart with happiness and laughter for the past couple of weeks.And finally, I could slowly let Sebastian go. I needed a fresh start.For several days, I refused to read any news online about Sebastian. I did not want to know about hi
(Akira’s POV).“Miss Cage, we have one more candidate waiting outside. A walk-in interview” Sandra closed the door behind her and smiled at me, “He is very handsome”“Then, what are we waiting for. Invite him in. I need to leave early today to pick up my son plus.. you did mention he is handsome” Vivian seemed excited for interviewing male candidates.There were not many male candidates that had applied for the position as my personal assistant. It was a position with a job description that would be well suited to be for a woman. And I even remembered requesting a female candidate. I was not sure why Vivian ignored my request.“I have already shortlisted two candidates that we have interviewed today. They are to my liking. The girls seem promising. Perhaps, there are other position suitable for him” I cleared my throat before drinking a glass of water. “He could apply to be a receptionist or the driver for Lady Violet? So, do we still want to proceed?”“Oh, come on. He has been waiti
(Sebastian’s POV).My answer was definitely making Akira restless. She sat back on her chair and poured herself another glass of water. She drank it slowly and whispered to Vivian to proceed on asking me questions.Again, she avoided her eyes from looking at me.“So, Mr Straus. It is a long way to move from Emerald City to Bloom City. What is it that you think you could contribute to the company? Looking at your resume, your past experience differs much from what we are looking for” Vivian asked a question that I could sense she was on my side.Was she? I looked at Vivian and nodded once before I responded to her, “I’m a fast learner. You have nothing to lose. And I’m offering my services to Miss Cage, anytime she wants me, everywhere she wants me to go and anything she wants me to do”I guess my words might have made her restless. I could see her holding on to her breath and her eyes were a little sparkly with what looked like tears.“Thank you, Mr Strauss. I think we are done here”
(Akira’s POV).I froze at where I stood. Blinked my eyes a few times not believing that my son was actually standing in front of me. Smiling. And he called me “Mommy”.I was not sure if it was my reality or part of my imagination. Lately, the two had been a blurred line. I missed him so much that I dreamt about him every night.My little boy stood few steps in front of me with a smile that looked like my own reflection in the mirror. He was beautiful. I opened my mouth, but no words came out.“Mommy, it’s me Samuel”I gasped and closed my mouth with one hand. I looked at Sebastian waiting for some answers. How did my son find out the truth? How did he take the news? Was he angry with me?Obviously, I had many questions, but I was speechless at that moment.“I told our son the truth” he took steps closer to me and whispered, “He was waiting for you to come home when I told him I found you”“Why, Sebastian?” I almost choked on my words and wiped the tears from my eyes. “How long did he
(Sebastian’s POV).“Yes, Honey” I smiled looking at her squinted her eyes at me while exhaling her breaths slowly. Buying that mansion next to her was Roy’s idea.He had found past records that the large mansion was once belonged to Marcus Cage, her late father. And Akira was trying her luck to purchase it. However, luck was not on her side.The previous owner was not willing to sell it. Well, not until I offered a price twice its worth and a job for the couple’s son to work at one of Strauss’ companies in Bloom City.Akira did not have to know those details. Not so soon at least.“Sebastian, is this all a joke to you?”“Joke? I do not understand your question, Honey”“How did you manage to buy this mansion? It is impossible, Sebastian”“Because..” I caressed her cheeks with my thumb and winked at her, “I’m Sebastian Strauss. I get what I want”“You are an idiot” she said with gritted teeth and scoffed at me.Samuel was sleeping on her lap with his arms wrapped around her body. I mov
(Sebastian’s POV).She looked at me straight in the eye. No words were needed for her to say to me. I knew what was on her mind.She was afraid. I had hurt her once and that trust she had on me was broken.“Honey, I’m going to fix us. It is going to take time for you to believe me again. I know that. And I’m willing to wait for you as long as you need me to” my hand on her cheek moved down to her jaw and gently I moved closer to kiss her forehead.She whispered with trembling voice which I knew she was holding back her tears, “S-Sebastian, I.. I don’t think I could ever forgive you”I moved to cup her face and caressed her cheeks with my thumb. Her words were not to my liking, but I knew she was hurting, “Honey, can we start over? Just forget about the past and start over. If not for me, at least try it for our children”She closed her eyes for a moment and when she blinked them open, I could see tears flooding her eyes. I wiped them with my fingers and sighed, “I’m sorry for hurting
(Akira’s POV).“You look pretty today, Miss Cage” Sebastian offered his hand for me to take but I shook my head.“It is best if my new assistant is not seen too close to me. People talk in this little town of mine”“Let them talk” he opened the door for me to enter and entered next.“Sebastian, what are you doing? Are you not supposed to be driving? That is what is expected from being my assistant too”“My driver is driving us today. And the guy next to him, is my bodyguard. I’m your assistant. Those two are my assistants”I squinted my eyes at him and thought what he said to me was ridiculous.“Mommy!” my son called to me and sat in between us. “I woke up but did not see you at home. I thought you left me”“I’m here, my darling” I hugged him tightly and kissed his cheeks making him giggle. “So, Sebastian. What is on my schedule today?”“You are free till the afternoon where you’ll have a business meeting with a lawyer, with the initial JC. So, I thought of taking you to somewhere th
(Akira’s POV).Three years together.I never expected for our relationship to last that long. And to my surprise, Sebastian was a devoted father to our children. They loved him and I loved him more each day, with my whole heart.“Honey, I kind of miss our children”“Sebastian..” I laughed softly and rested my head on his shoulders, “They are just away for less than two hours. Let’s spend tonight, for us”He smiled and kissed my head before both of us looked up to the sky watching over the starry night. The night was calming with cool breeze brushing my cheeks. I sighed as I wrapped my arms around his waist, loving his scent, “Do you think your parents can handle our children? The girls are quite a lot to deal with. They will drive Donna insane. Remember what they did to her the last time?”“You mean when they used her lipsticks to draw on her walls?” Sebastian chuckled and brought me closer in his embrace, “Don’t worry, Honey. My father is there watching over them. And my sister is t
(Akira’s POV).‘BANG!’I turned my head sharply after hearing the whizzing sound of the gunshot that whipped past my eyes. The loud sound of the gunshot was making my ear drums ringing so loudly. I lost focused and almost tripped down to the floor.Sebastian caught my arm and held me close to his body, “I got you, Honey. It is going to be alright. Look at me, Honey. Look at me”I blinked my eyes before my vision was focused on his face. I smiled seeing he was alright, “He missed”The smile on his face was not the usual ones I see on him. There was something wrong.“Honey, I want you to run. Don’t look back. Keep running”I shook my head and held his hand. It was then I felt something wet on my palm. Blood!“Sebastian, you got s-shot! No! No!” I held his body close to mine in a reflex to protect him against harm.“Sebastian, that was just a warning shot. The next one will be the one that will end your f*cking life!” It was Charles’ threatening words. I turned to face him and stood in
(Author’s POV).Kimberly sighed in annoyance and faced Charles, “Can’t you see I’m busy? I’m looking for my soulmate. He is hiding somewhere. Sebastian loves to play games when we were younger. I’ll tell you a secret”She tiptoed and whispered to Charles, “I’m a very good seeker. I know he is hiding behind that rock. I’m just waiting for him to come out”“You are insane, do you realise that?”Kimberly laughed and patted Charles chest teasingly, “It takes one crazy person to know another. But I wonder, who is crazier? You do realise your plan to kidnap a pregnant woman with a child is a stupid plan. No offense”“And your plan to make Sebastian falls in love with you is just a dream that would never come true” Charles smirked at Kimberly and looked at the rock formation where Kimberly said Sebastian was probably hiding, “As for me, Akira loves me. I just need her to be brave to take a leap of faith with me. She is just afraid, but I will make her realise that her love for me is still t
(Akira’s POV).I smiled while hearing the voice I had missed so much. Tears fell on my cheeks, almost making me choke from them, “My baby. How are you? Where are you? Are you hurt?”“Mommy, where are you? Are you coming to get me?”“Baby, I’m coming to you. It is not going to be long. Are you alright? Did she hurt you?”I took a glance at Charles and smiled of happiness being able to hear my son’s voice again. He smiled back at me and stopped the car at the traffic light that was turning red. Lifting his fingers, he wiped my tears away as I continued talking to my son.For a moment, I was touched by his kindness and love for me. But I knew things were not going to be well for us. My love was for Sebastian, and I could not wait to see him safe again.“Sammy, where is Daddy? Is he with you?” My words were obviously not to Charles liking. He ran his fingers across his hair before he calmly continued driving.“I don’t know, Mommy. Daddy asked me to run as fast as I can, away from Kimberl
(Author’s POV).“Daddy, you are here! I know you will come for me” Samuel’s excitement to see his father again had made him forget that they still had Kimberly as the problem, somewhere in the house.“Sammy, we need to be quiet” Sebastian whispered to his son with a smile of content. He was relieved to see his son not physically injured. But frowned seeing his shirt was a little torn, “Are you alright? Did Kim hurt you?”The boy walked closer to his father and whispered, “I think Kimberly is not well, Daddy. She is acting weird. Is Mommy alright, Daddy? Kimberly said you need to go away with Mommy because Mommy is not well”Sebastian exhaled his breath shakily, controlling his heightened anger on Kimberly. She had fed his son with lies. “Mommy is fine, Sammy. I need you to be brave. I need you to run as fast as you can. I think I know this place. There should be houses nearby. It is going to be a little scary out there, but I need you to be brave and call for help”“I’m not leaving y
(Sebastian’s POV).I closed my eyes and held my breath. Channelled my anger towards Kimberly for the pain she had cause both Akira and me. It became unforgivable when she involved my son in that crazy scheme of hers wanting us to be together.I was not going to lose control of my body for her. Not again.“You are playing hard to get, Bastian. I can go on and make you hard for me” she teased with her tongue licking the top of my hardness. She was not going to give up and I was losing her dangerous game.I tried hard to let the rope tied on my hand loosen up. My efforts were just making my wrist felt pain and I could guess they were already bleeding.Kimberly stood up and moved her body in a seductive way. I did not know what suddenly happened to me. My sight was getting blurry and my eyelids heavy. “What did you do to me, Kim?”“I did not do anything. But I’m not sure if the men I hired earlier did something to you” she smiled and slowly lowered her dress to her waist showing her nake
(Sebastian’s POV).I held my breath, feeling Kimberly’s lips on my skin as it moved to my sensitive spot on my neck. I closed my eyes and held on to the thought that my Akira was waiting for me to come home.A mistake was done before, and I was not going to break her heart again.“Bastian, I know you want it. I know you. Free your mind and remember those days when we were so happy together” she blew her warm breath in my ears as her hand touched my body, slowly unbuttoning my shirt. “Let loose. Let me satisfy your desire”She moaned as she placed her hand under my shirt and caressed my chest. I took a deep breath to calm my breathing not wanting to lose to her touch. “Oh, Bastian. I miss this. Smile for me”My hands were tied behind the chair that I was seated. I could not move as she sat on my lap, moving her body on my legs. She whispered before she sucked on my earlobe, gently, “I’m going to make you hard for me tonight. I’m going to make you remember tonight forever as I let you
(Sebastian’s POV).I stood at the door of my room looking at the mother of my children. She was not willing to let me go. But we had not much of a choice. Kimberly had to stop the madness in her head.I was the only one she wanted. And I needed to act fast. She need to be stopped before she hurts anyone.“Honey, I’ll be fine. I’ll bring our son home. I need you to trust me. I love you, always” I cupped her face and lowered my head to kiss her. We had the time to ourselves before I decided to go.Feeling inside of her again was amazing. It had helped cleared my mind. But it was not enough to cool down the anger I had for Kimberly.“Don’t go. Don’t leave me here. Please, Sebastian” her trembling hands gripped on to my shirt while she kissed me. When my tongue slipped into her sweet tasting mouth, I was lost for words.All I wanted was to feel inside of her again. It was never enough. I wanted more of her.It was so instantaneous, and our urgent tongue wrestled for dominance. The next t
(Akira’s POV).With the search team moving their operation at Sebastian’s house, I was practically living there. Everyone played their part in locating my son. Not a minute spared to rest. Sebastian made sure their time was devoted on our search for Samuel.Three days was too much for me to bear not being able to see, hear or touch my son. I missed him so much.“Melina, what are you doing out there in the cold. Come inside, my dear” my grandfather came walking towards me using his cane. I was happy to see strength coming back on his knees. I knew Lady Violet was part of that recovery.He was looking much better than when I first saw him months ago. “Grandpa, you need to rest”“I am fine. Come with me and let’s have a good hot chocolate. Violet made them” I took his hand and walked with him to the kitchen.There were several people in the house. Police, private investigators, search team and our families. Mine and his.We did not like the idea of having Sebastian’s parents staying at
