(Author’s POV).Feeling insecure, fear of losing and failure, were all playing on Suzanne’s head. It had been almost a week since she last saw Sebastian and she was getting impatient on his cold attitude towards her.So, she decided to play a little game to get his attention. A plan was on its way to get his attention.“Are we done yet?” Samuel looked at her with sadness in his eyes.She knew he did not like her much. The same feeling, she had for him.Suzanne was not happy when she found out her cousin was pregnant with Sebastian’s son eight years ago. The plan was for her to get pregnant herself with Sebastian’s child. Not Melina.For years, she had tried planning to carry Sebastian’s heir. But all plans failed as Sebastian was not sexually attracted to her. Suzanne had tried every way possible.Sebastian was just two steps ahead of her, at all times.So, she had made another plan. And this time she was sure to make it a success.“Shut up. Just do as you are told” she hissed at Sam
(Sebastian’s POV).I rushed to the Hospital after receiving a call from the housekeeper that my son had fainted. Again.Nothing else mattered other than the well-being of my son. I had left an important meeting to get to my son soonest possible. Dropping everything, not caring if I would lose an investor soon.Driving my car like a mad person, I had reached the Hospital with several traffic violation done. I was getting pretty famous with the police officer with my numerous traffic tickets.“Dr Kwan, how is he?” I was panting being out of breath as I had walked up the stairs instead of taking the elevator. No time could be wasted when it comes about my son.Dr Kwan poured me a glass of water and gestured for me to sit. I removed my jacket and loosen my tie before drinking.“He is resting. De-hydrated. Not looking good, Mr Strauss” the doctor sighed and shook his head, “I do not know what went wrong. The blood transfusion given to Samuel seemed not enough. We may need to increase the
(Akira’s POV).He got closer and whispered. “The memory was a blur. But if I could recall, she had eyes like my son. Different coloured eyes”I trembled feeling his warm breath on my earlobes. I could not look at him. I could not breath.Oh my God! Please, I hoped he won’t find out.“Do you.. do you have.. her name?” I swallowed my saliva and closed my eyes for a few seconds. In my mind, I prayed hard this was just some nightmare that I would wake up from a deep sleep.“I’m working on to remember the details” he lifted a finger and raised my chin gently, “Hypnosis. I have set an appointment. Perhaps, I could remember some things from the sessions”He raised his fingers to my cheeks and caressed it along my jaw. Teasing me, seducing me, I exhaled shakily being drowned by his touch. What was he doing to me?“Akira, come with me”“W-hat?”He chuckled and tuck a strand of my hair behind my ears. Gently, while brushing the back of his hand, barely touching me. Making me wanting him to do
(Akira’s POV).Hearing the call that came from a doctor about my son, I panicked. It was just an instinct that pushed me to chase after Sebastian.I was not thinking about how strange it would look like when Sebastian would later realised I was running with him. But I just wanted to know what happened to Samuel. I wanted to see my son, again.For a moment, I had forgotten everything, including that awkward conversation we had with Suzanne.That b*tch lied through her teeth. My grandfather’s birthday was not that coming weekend. It would not be due for another month!What was she planning to do?That lying scumbag was planning on something evil and I planned to find it out.Before that, I needed to find out on how I could help Sebastian to find a cure for my son. Why was Sebastian running like something bad was going to happen to Samuel? I hoped not.“Akira! Why are you following me?’ Sebastian’s voice made me halt in front of him. He looked at me and shook his head.“You did not tell
(Akira’s POV).“Hello. You must be Samuel, right?” I asked and smiled at him. I tried so hard to control my emotion and not burst out in tears like a mad woman.I could not bear to look at him lying down on the bed looking pale and weak. Did I cause this?Was this sickness coming from me? I remembered myself being a weak girl when I was little. Struggled to survive in society who looked down on my weak and chubby looking body.My parents had to bring me around to several hospital visits, finding ways to get me stronger. When my parents passed away, my uncle took me in to care for me. Knowing I was a weak kid, my aunt had bullied me. My cousin took advantage of my weakness and made me her personal slave.They treated me like I was beneath them. Even their dogs were well taken care of and given a bigger room than mine. I was like a tortured soul being forced to smile when we met my grandfather.They had threatened to hurt my grandfather if words got out that I was being bullied by them
(Sebastian’s POV).I watched her walked out from the Suite without once she had turned around to look at me. For some reason I did not understand, I wanted her to turn around and begged for me to take her back.But she left me. She did not even fight to stay with me like how other women would do.“Bastian, what have you done?” I heard Westin spoke to me. There were only Westin and I left in the lounge area. I had guessed the rest had moved away after hearing me shout at Akira.Perhaps, they were afraid of me. I did not know what came to my head. I was angry at a lot of things.I was angry at the situation for my son. The doctors only gave him a few months left to live.I could not let it happen. I could not lose my baby boy.I closed my eyes and exhaled slowly. “She left us, Westin. Go find us another lawyer”“Are you out of your mind? She is the best we have. Akira found us a way to win this case. We are so close in winning. Bastian –”“Shut up, Westin! I said get another lawyer!”“
(Author’s POV).A day has passed.The weather forecast had predicted the day to be a sunny day with a possibility of rain. Not at all where the prediction was all the time completely accurate.What started as drizzles of rain had become more intense. Dark clouds were beginning to appear. People ran for cover, protecting themselves from what was coming next.A superbike parked at a space near the Lux Apartment. Wearing a full gear and a helmet, eyes were on the rider. It was a rare occasion to see a woman riding a superbike at the neighbourhood, especially one who was an attractive looking woman.Fixing her blonde hair let loose from a ponytail, she sighed looking at the building where she hoped not to be at on that day. But a friend was in need of her help.Pressing the key code to enter the main door of the apartment, the woman walked into the luxurious looking lobby where a man had greeted her, “Good morning, Miss. Are you new here?”A man who she thought to be the receptionist gre
(Sebastian’s POV).I stood next to my car with my driver holding the umbrella for me. The rain was pissing down on me, wetting my suit, my shoes and now my face.And where the f*ck was Akira?!I had shouted to call her name several times. I knew she could hear me. I knew she was ignoring me on purpose.When I saw a silhouette that looked like her peeping from her balcony, I smiled.“You can try hide anywhere from me, Akira. But I will find you! Get down here!” I had shouted at her and was sure the whole neighbourhood could hear my voice.Did I care? None at all.I then called her number several times. I was not going to give up until I see her that day.When she finally answered my call, I frowned hearing her shout at me, “What?!”I took a deep breath trying to calm my anger on her. She was making it difficult for me. It was bad enough that Westin made me come all the way to her apartment to talk to her. Now, she was playing hard to get.I had no other choice. She was not answering m
(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
