[ Charlotte ]The next few days we spent in Greece were heavenly. We weren't apart from each other except when we had to pee.I am not joking, it was true. We became addicted to each other. With each passing moments, our love intensified. We couldn't get tired of confessing our love, either by gestures or words.This is what true happiness called."Ready to go, babes?" Sebestian’s voice pulled me out of my trance and I realized that I had been staring at the mirror absent-mindedlyI looked at him through mirror. He was leaning on the door frame, his lips curved in a contagious smile.He wore a pair of blue jeans and black T-shirt with a tan leather jacket to complete his look. He looked not a day older than twenty-five let alone a father of a six years old."You're looking pretty but sexy. I want to do many things to you but I should better get a hold of my desires before I fuck you right here." He stated shamelessly.Heat rushed to my core and cheeks. As much as I wanted us to engage
[ Sebestian ]Charlotte felt drained out after dancing for hours, she was a little tipsy too. So, she went to rest for a while but I stayed on the floor, dancing with two girls who were actually fun to talk.I was lost in the rocking music when I saw something which burnt my heart with jealousy.I couldn't be hallucinating Charlotte with Benjamin.He couldn't be here. It was an exclusive party. But what triggered my anger more was his hands on my wife's back as they swayed on the dance floor.I blinked my eyes to erase the eye sore image but they were there. I wasn't dreaming. I balled my fists and with three long strands, I was standing close to them."Don't touch my wife!" I yelled and pulled her out of his grip. They were taken aback by my violent action. Though, others were oblivious to our little commotion."Seb, what are you doing? We're guests here." She whispered under gritted teeth and passed him a nervous smile.What the hell was wrong with this woman? She's siding with her
[ Charlotte ]I tried to open my eyes but closed them instantly and regretted of opening them. I rubbed them and tried to get up again but the throbbing in my head made it hard for me to wake up.I blinked my eyes a several times to adjust them with the bright natural light."Ahh.."I groaned and massaged my head. It felt like I hit my head on a rock and a bus ran over my body as my muscles were equally sore.Two gentle hands touched me and I instantly relaxed. They belonged to my husband who cautiously helped me to sit straight. I glanced at him, he had showered and looked very fresh while I bet I might be resembling a zombie."Here, take this, you will feel better." He brought a mug of aromatic coffee and a painkiller in front of me.I swallowed the pill without waiting for abother second and sipped the bitter sweet liquid to ease the headache."I won't be drinking again. Fuck! This headache is killing me." I cursed and looked outside the walls."You could be dead on the deck if I ha
[ Charlotte ]"It wasn't necessary, Mr. Blackwood. Trust me, I'm not offended by last night's incident." Benjamin waved his hand in the air as we seated around a table in a seaside restaurant to have our dinner.I invited Benjamin over phone to meet us and he made it on time."You can call me Sebestian. I don't like formalities on the table, especially when we're not business partners or enemies." Sebestian smiled as he sliced his fish and put the bite in his mouth."Or we can do business..."I spoke catching both men's attention on me."I don't get you, Charlie?" Benjamin frowned while Sebestian sucked his breath. Benjamin calling me by my new nickname still bothered him."Sebestian owns one of the biggest construction company in the States and we're planning to expand ourselves out of our borders." I started speaking. I didn't share my plans with Sebestian either. I knew he'd resist and let his manly ego create a hurdle for me.I was doing it for him and for the survival of our marri
[ Sebestian ]"What was her name?" I couldn't help but ask him because his revelation cleared the picture in my mind.If he was in New York City, then I'd had seen him. My sixth sense was continuously nudging me. He indeed looked very familiar."Sebestian, do you know every girl in the big city?" Charlotte rolled her eyes."Nope, I don't but I asked out of curiosity." I quickly covered up for my impulsive interrogation."Her name was Selene. We met in a nightclub and immediately hit it off. She was rich yet down to earth, elegant and most importantly she had a brilliant brain. Her aim was to take over her father's business one day. Those two years were the greatest days of my life. I wish I shouldn't invite her to spend summer holidays in Greece then she was with me, alive and happy." Benjamin smiled sadly."I am sorry, Benjamin. I didn't intend to scratch your wounds. I know how it feels when you lose a loved one." I regretted asking him about his girlfriend."We never found her body
[ Charlotte ]Our days in Greece ended like a fairytale stories. Time flew before we realized as we spent every moment with each other, knowing ourselves better and cementing our trust.Sebestian proved me wrong everytime I tried to weigh his accountability and gave me more reasons to give him another chance."I don't want to leave. I am loving this, away from our problems and work." He whispered in my ear as his arm raked around my waist from behind.I smiled on his words."But it is the life, Seb. We had our break and we enjoyed it. Now, it's time to live the real life. Our son is waiting for us, our work and our challenges. Remember, we're a team." I tried to cheer up his mood.He buried his face in the crook of my neck and dropped a sloppy kiss on my sweet spot. I arched my back as pleasure rippled through my cells."Sebestian...we have to leave in three hours." I whispered through my ragged breathing as his hands roamed on my bare stomach."We're not using public airline, my dear
[ Charlotte ]"Should we wake him?" Sebestian looked at for permission. Eagerness was evident on his face but he wanted my permission. I missed my son terribly."I have no heart to disturb his sleep." I whispered though I also craved to engulf him in my arms.I glanced down at our sleeping son. It was early dawn when we arrived at Manor. We directly headed to Ace's room. It had been weeks since we last our boy. Merissa brought him back to manor last night on our request because we couldn't visit her house due to security reasons.We might be followed by paparazzi or enemies. She preferred her private and simple life.Ace stirred in his sleep and finally opened his eyes. He scrunched them for few seconds before he jolted up, rubbing his eyes vigorously."Mom, Dad, are you really here?" He asked us in disbelief."Yes, baby. We are here." I said.We sat down beside him and kissed his cheeks. I went overboard and showered his face with more kisses while Sebestian hugged us."I missed you
[ Charlotte ]"You have no idea how happy and surprised I am to see you all here." Mrs. Blackwood said in an exaggerated tone. She tried to sound more happier than she actually was."It was Charlotte's plan, Mom. She wants us to dine together." Sebestian said to his mother. He didn't hesitate to express that he had no desire to visit his parents.Her smile faltered but she quickly masked it by her skilled plastic smile."Oh my dear daughter-in-law. You're so considerate about us and this family." She embraced me. I felt uncomfortable."Shall we sit first, Mom?" Sebestian pulled me close to him. His overprotective behavior caught her off guard."Where is my grandson?" She asked about Ace."He is coming with Leah. They must be in the porch." Sebestian replied to her.Her eyes widened,"Leah is here with you?" She asked to confirm."Merissa and Lucas are also here." I added."What?" She whispered yelled."Mom, when I said that we want us to dine as a family, I meant it and they're a part
