(Sebastian’s POV).I pressed on the pedal to drive faster to a location where my father thought my son would be. “The Wishing Tree? Are you sure?”What a load full of crap! I could not believe my father made my son believe in such a legend that was clearly a made-up thing for tourists.“He is just a boy. One day, he’ll forget all about it”“Dad, you are giving him a false hope!”“Oh, come on son. As if you did not believe about the wishing tree in the past”“No, I did not. A whole load of crap you tried to make me believe in”He laughed and patted my shoulders, “Chill, my boy. You are so tense. What made you become to be such a serious man? Where is that little fun boy I used to know? My little Beanie boy”“Dad!” I sighed and shook my head, “I’m 32 years old. Not a little boy anymore. I have responsibilities and Samuel is my priority”“Alright, alright! Relax. You’ll find him. Don’t worry. My grandson is stronger than he looks. I’m sure he is safe” my father and his positive thinking
(Akira’s POV).I was still waiting for him to answer my questions. He opened his mouth and closed it again.Open. Close. Open.“Sebastian, you are wasting my time. It is cold and I wish to go back to my Hotel”“I’ll send you to your Hotel. Then.. perhaps, we can talk?”“We are talking now but it seemed you don’t even know what to say. I’m going with Molly. Good night. And good luck with your son’s operation”“Akira. Please. Just.. Just give me a minute” he exhaled shakily and looked at me. I could see him sweating on his forehead in a cold weather.What was wrong with him? Could he just not say what I meant to him?Could he just say I meant something to him? Not just some random woman he wished to have s*x with.I was kind of disappointed in him, because what we did back in the reading room at his home, did mean something to me. I was so close to give my body to him.And I hated myself for wanting it.“Akira, this is not easy for me to say. I did not mean to say.. you.. you did not m
(Sebastian’s POV).Few days later, I was walking around at the waiting room of a Hospital in a city called Cantana. The choice of a Hospital that Samuel’s biological mother had chosen to have the transplant procedure.She asked for nothing else than the location of her choice. Not even asking for a single cent of my money for it. I would have given her anything she asked for in return for her to save our son.Our son? I chuckled calling that.I was told by her Doctor named Roland Raymond that I was not allowed to meet her. Not even given her real name. The name given was a made-up name called Jane Doe.I knew it was part of the deal made between myself and her. But I was curious. I wanted to know who she really was.So, I had Doctor Raymond followed by one of my hired private investigators. There must be a time when she would do a mistake to meet him while putting her guard down. And on that time, I would like to know who she was.However, she was careful. She was always one step ahe
(Akira’s POV).I blinked my eyes open slowly. All I could see was the bright light shining back at me. Groaning in pain, I then opened my mouth to call for help, “Henry..”My voice croaked and my dry lips were making it painful for me to talk. I sighed and called him again, “Henry, w-where are you?”The door to the room opened slightly and there was when I saw the pretty face of Henry’s secret girlfriend. A woman he was too shy to admit that he was dating. “Ramona?”She was his client who he fought to win a case for her. And the same person was that one woman he had a crush on since they went to school together.Never had he imagined Ramona Raymond would ever fall for him.“Hey, good morning. How are you feeling?” Ramona closed the door behind her gently and walked towards me. She looked elegant even when she was just wearing a simple dress with no makeup on. A natural beauty it seemed.I looked at her for a moment and smiled. Ramona was not the kind of woman Henry was known to date
(Sebastian’s POV).“How are you feeling, Sammy?” I sat next to my son on the sofa and messed his hair that needed a haircut. I loved hearing his little voice, giggling with happiness.We were already back home, and I was happy to see him recovering well.My son was a fighter, and I was so proud of him, being strong for the operation.“I’m OK, Daddy. Can you read to me the letter that Mommy wrote to me again, please” he looked up at me with a big smile on his face. He looked even cuter with one of his front teeth missing.I have been reading the letter from his mother every day since he first heard it. I had never seen him so happy. The letter had indeed helped him get stronger and restored his faith that one day his mother would come back to him. I had to thank her for that little joy she gave to him.Resting my back on the sofa, I took the letter out from my pocket and read it again to him for the second time that day.“Hey, champ. Look who is here! Your favourite Uncle” I sighed lo
(Author’s POV).A crowd of corporate workers can be seen queuing to get up to their work floor using the elevator. It was a normal working day at the tower of Virtus Group. The noise of footsteps and people chatting while waiting for their turn to enter the elevator, filled the space at the lobby of the multi-level building.Nothing was out of the ordinary, but one woman made it different that day.Wearing a knee length white coloured business dress, Kimberly walked with her head held high. Confidence was her beauty. Her smiles were interpreted as she responded to the rumours of her new victorious relationship with the founder of the company.With the ending of the relationship between Sebastian and Suzanne, many had begun a rumour that Kimberly would be Sebastian’s next conquest. It was something that Kimberly was looking forward to.As she passed by towards the special elevator to reach the penthouse, eyes were on her followed by whispers of others talking about her to be the next
(Akira’s POV).My breath accelerated, feeling him deepen his kisses. His hand reached to my back, pulling me closer to his body by my waist. Tilting my head to the side, I gasped as I felt him teasing and sucking lightly on my tongue.All of a sudden, I felt lost and lightheaded. A Prince had kissed me.It was surreal!The captivating moment made me lose control of myself. I could feel his hand placed at the back of my neck, controlling me to meet his demanding kisses.I opened my eyes slightly feeling uneasy about the way he kissed me. Domineering. Forceful. At the same time, electrifying. I was confused on what my body wants.It felt different from how other men had kissed me before. It made me restless and afraid of what he would do next.I was not ready. “Charles, I can’t”I gently broke our kisses as I placed my hands on his shoulders. Both panting out of air, breathing the air of the cold morning. I looked down not wanting to see his blushed face, while he was breathing his war
(Akira’s POV).I came back to Emerald City after almost a week spent with Charles at Rivera. It was not all for pleasure. I was helping him as his advisor for the purchase of land in Rivera.He could have hired many other capable lawyers back in Rivera, but I was his choice. Our intimate pictures taken together did not help my situation.I was labelled as someone who was taking advantage of Charles. A gold digger. A dreamer.Not many supported me in being with Charles for I was not of royal blood or from a noble family. Akira West was a nobody in Rivera.If only they knew who I really was.My phone rang and I knew who it was even before I had answered it, “Hello”“Have you arrived?”“Yes, Charles. You don’t have to worry. I’m fine”“Of course, I’m worried, darling. You are a thousand miles away from me. And I’m already missing you”I blushed hearing him saying those words sweetly with his deep sexy voice. I smiled and bit my lips hearing him talk to me, recalling our night spent toge
(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
