(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
(Sebastian’s POV).It took me all the courage I had on that day to call Akira, flushing my pride down the toilet for most part of it. I needed her and I was about to beg her to help me win the case.Hearing her answer my call, I held my breath, “Akira, we need to talk”“Jacob called” she sighed and there was a pause from her side, “I’ll see you tomorrow”I smiled and wanted to continue our conversation, “Akira—”She then ended the call.“F*ck!” I shouted and squeezed my phone, wanting so much to smash it against the wall. But that would be the third time of the week if I did that.“Everything alright?” I heard my hypnotherapist talked to me while writing down some notes in her laptop, “Do you need more time before we start?”I sighed and shook my head. Keeping my phone in my pants, I walked back to my seat and nodded, “Let’s do this”I was on the sofa while staring up at the ceiling. My mind was thinking about the things I would like to say to Akira. Things that I wanted to make bett
(Sebastian’s POV).I was still pretty much not myself. After that session with my hypnotherapist, I felt my world was falling apart. Lies over lies.I was getting a little confused about what I knew and what I saw in my memory.Seated at a bar in Emerald City, I drank more than my body could take. My mind went into a fog, not knowing what I should be trusting in my head.These were some of the side effects that Dr Kwan had told me before. But I insisted on going through the sessions.After paying for the bill, I was walking out from the club and bumped into my old friend, “Lennox, what are you doing here?”“I own this club, buddy. And I work here” Lennox chuckled and patted my back, “What are you doing here? You looked like you were just hit by a train”I was not looking at my best, but I could still see women smiling at me at the club. Got some numbers too for a casual f*ck.None of them interest me. None of them could make my d*ck hard.And I had thought Akira West was the cure to
(Akira’s POV).“Akira, get down!”I saw Charles kick the table down and pushed me to the ground, shielded by that table. I was on the ground, cat like pose. Crawling my way to avoid bullets aimed at hitting my head.“C-Charles, what should we do?” I whispered to him, wherever he was. I could not see.“Stay down!”Furniture moved, glasses shattered, and the sound of the bullets snapped an object, or a person was heard. Excruciating pain. Stinging my eardrums.I could not focus as whenever I tried to move, bullets missed me for just an inch, “C-Charles!”I could not hear him. After calling his name a few times, I decided to take a peek on what was happening behind the table that had shielded me for several minutes.He was no longer in the room, but the sound of gunshots was still heard. What happened?“Akira! Akira!” the voice did not sound at all like my Charles.“Sebastian, is that you?” I blinked my eyes to have a better look at him.“We need to get out of here. Take my hand, Akira”
(Akira’s POV).I froze after hearing a stranger calling me by my real name. Melina Cage.They knew me. That would mean someone got to Kingsley before we did.My brain spiraled into a fog. Not knowing what happened next.The voices around me sounded muffled without me knowing what they were saying.I could hear Sebastian calling me. I could hear Charles too. But my mind could not process what they said to me. It was as if I was pushed into a void where I stood alone.“I have a message for you. Your days end now” that stranger said to me. I looked into his eyes as his eyes looked into mine.I understood why he came to me. He was an assassin. One of those who were looking for me for the past eight years.Seeing the gun pointed on my forehead, I knew my days would end. And I had failed.I held my breath and swallowed my saliva. Still, not being able to move a muscle.The only thing in my head was the image of my son. My little Samuel’s cute little face smiling at me. I had to break a pro
(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
