(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).I sat in front of James in a restaurant. Sebastian did not suspect anything, and I hoped it would be that way. My meeting with James was solely for business purpose and nothing more.A jealous man Sebastian was. I would not be surprised if he would flip into his anger side if he found out I was out for lunch with my ex-boyfriend.But I trust James to be the best person to handle a fraud case that my friend was accused of. She was framed by her ex-husband to put her in jail. It was all an act done by her husband to get custody of her daughters.I sighed and drank my water. We were discussing about work that had lasted almost an hour. As we came to the end of the discussion, our topic changed to more of a personal level.“You look good, Akira”“It’s Melina now, James. That’s twice that I had to remind you today”He chuckled and wiped his mouth with a napkin, “Right, I forgot. I apologise for that. Trying to get used with the name and how you look like now”“How I look?”
(Akira’s POV).I paused and stared at his eyes looking back at me. His breathing was erratic, he seemed nervous in waiting for me to answer. I was caught by surprise on his question. Why was he forcing me to answer that question which he should know the answer to it?Did he not know my true feelings for him? I was just too afraid to say it out loud.I needed more time to confess my feelings to him. I did not understand this feeling I had for him, not yet. It was both love and fear. The uncertainty of being with him was making me doubt things would work out between us.And I was afraid of losing him. Just like how I had lost James back then to Miranda.I did not think my heart could bear to lose him. Not again. And definitely not losing Samuel.“Akira, I want you to answer me now. Do you or do you not love me? And I will leave you for good if your heart feels nothing for me” He exhaled shakily and continued, “And if you say you love me, I will devote my life to love you, be with you.
(Sebastian’s POV).I led her to my car where my driver had just arrived at the roadside. Shielding her from the rain, I hugged her body close to mine making sure she was warm and protected.“Are you alright?” I asked her while we were in the car. My hands were warming her cold ones. I smiled at her, and she smiled back. That had warmed my heart.Seeing her look into my eyes, made my heartbeat faster. She was beautiful even when her makeup had smudged on her pretty face from her tears. And she did not even realise that.I did not mind at all. The mother of my children was the most beautiful woman in my eyes.“Hatchuu!”“You should not have come to me in the rain. You are getting a fever, Honey. I don’t want that” I then asked the driver to drive us faster to get to my house. I needed her to get out from those wet dress of hers soon or she would fall sick.“I’m fine, Sebastian” She sighed and placed her cold hand on my cheek, “You were going to leave me. I don’t want that”“Oh, Honey.
(Sebastian’s POV).Hearing her moan in pleasure excited me. I held her body closed to mine as she humped on me slowly. So tight. So wet. I did not want her to stop.She called my name several times. It was not for me to stop. It was for me to kept going until we both reached our climax. “Oh, Honey!”I pushed in for the last time, pumping my seeds in her. I wrapped my arms around her body as I exhaled my breath shakily. I did not want to let her go. It felt good having her back in my arms.In the room that was getting dark, I caressed her face with my thumb and smiled, “Promise me that you’ll never leave me, Honey. Say it, please”She cupped my face and smiled, “Sebastian, what’s the matter? I’m not going anywhere”The expression on her face was a delight to see. Smiling at me beautifully. I moved to kiss her again, with my urgent tongue wanting to taste her sweetness in my mouth. Each time I kissed her, she blossomed like a flower, letting me guide her to deepen our kiss. She was ind
(Sebastian’s POV).“Sebastian, have you seen that symbol anywhere else in the house?” she moved towards the symbol on the wall that looked like a moon crescent with a star on it. It was seen at several places in the house.Not sure what it was. I did not bother to find out. To me, it was just some decoration on the wall to match with the furnishing.“There is one seen at the changing room, one at the library, the kitchen and.. Sammy’s room. Maybe more, I don’t know. Why are you so interested in it?” I walked out from the bathroom as my phone rang. “It’s probably Steven calling. We may need to pick up our son soon. I’ll be right back, Honey”I left her at the bathroom examining the symbol that was to her interest.Picking up my phone, I saw the caller ID and realised it was not Stacy’s father. It was a call from a man I least expect would call me. That lunatic Bill Axel.“What do you want, Bill?”“Stop playing dumb, Strauss. Where is my daughter?”“Why would I know where your daughter
(Akira’s POV).Five days had passed.Finally, I had time to go to Bloom Capital Bank to check on what was my late father trying to tell me. It was all so cryptic to get to where I was. Not an easy puzzle to solve.Truly, Sebastian had helped me much as my free for service personal assistant. But he proved to be a controlling partner of mine who suited my schedule to his needs and liking.Those meetings with male investors he did not like me meeting were cancelled or been moved for Vivian to attend. He would sit in on some of my meeting with investors and at times dominated the conversation.We had our fair share of arguments that would often end up for us making love to forget things. Not a good solution but it had calmed his anger before he agreed on my demands. Silly man.“Miss Cage, before you could proceed, you would need to key in the passcode on the panel” the woman who was attending to my needs at the bank gesture for me to press some buttons on the screen. She was at times lo
(Sebastian’s POV).“What do you mean my son is gone?!” I grabbed the collar of one of Samuel’s teachers and was ready to punch his pretty face.“Sebastian, stop!” if it was not for Akira, I would have punched that teacher’s face till it would no longer be recognisable.I let go of the man and pushed him to the table. I then turned to face the Principal who stood at the door with two security guards to stop me from making a scene at the school. I was not at all bothered with their threats to stop me.“I paid a lot of money to the school to educate my son, to make him happy, to keep him safe. You have done none of it!”“Sebastian, my love. Please don’t” Akira held my hand and calmed my anger with that simple touch. I looked at her with tears in her eyes. She shook her head and moved to place a hand on my chest, “Let’s focus on finding our son. No violence. You promised to control that anger of yours, for me”Her simple whispered words had calmed my anger. I nodded at her and raised her
