SebastianJealousy.I never put much thought into that emotion as I didn't know it was a trait I possessed. At least, not until I met Delilah.There was not a single doubt in my mind that Delilah belonged to me. However, every time I saw another man near her, jealousy burned through my veins.And today is no exception.I promised one of my friends I'd visit him whenever I'm in Switzerland. I had been friends with Matteo since I was a boy, and it was time that we got together again.Matteo Fontana came from the long bloodline of dukes and duchesses. He had a proud demeanor and piercing blue eyes that shone with intelligence. By the time he turned 22, he had already built a successful empire of dating apps. His newest app was currently the number one app in the country."It's a pleasure meeting you, Delilah. You're a beautiful woman. Sebastian is a lucky man," Matteo said, taking her hand.Delilah smiled politely. "It's nice to meet you too."At first, there was nothing to worry about.
SebastianI stood outside and breathed in the cool air.I was starting to calm down and the anger I felt earlier slowly dissipated. My insides knotted in guilt when I remembered Delilah's tear-soaked face. What have I done? All I ever wanted was to have someone who would love me for who I am. Instead, I made my wife into a prisoner, and now she claims to hate me. Everything was all wrong.I didn't want to go inside the room right away, so I decided to take a long walk instead. I found a local pub that was still open and decided to go in for a drink instead.I wanted to drink until my emotions became numb. I wanted the feeling of guilt to go away. I never liked to admit mistakes, but this time I took things too far. I almost forced myself on my own wife, for Christ's sake!I have to go back and apologize.I take a long swig of my drink and then head back to the hotel room."Deli...I..." I started to say but stopped as I realized she was sleeping. I quietly closed the door and got into
DelilahI finished showing Charlie how to catalog some of the things in the inventory. Charlie is a fast learner and always eager to learn. I enjoyed spending time with him.I didn't hear my phone ring at first. Not until Charlie pointed it out."Miss Delilah, someone keeps calling you," he said.I looked at him. "Oh yeah? Who is it?""I don't know. It's just a number." Charlie shrugged.I squinted my eyes, then picked up the phone to look at it. Charlie was right. It was some unknown number, but there were six missed calls. Whoever was calling must be desperate to talk to me. I redialed the number and waited.The caller picked up the phone after two rings."Delilah! This is Simon," he said on the other line. He sounded breathless."Simon? What's wrong? Why do you sound like that?" I asked. I had never heard Simon talk like this. Something must've happened."It's Sebastian...he..." Simon stopped as if to figure out what to say."What about Sebastian?" I urged him to speak."Sebastian
SebastianI watch Delilah walk away and sigh to myself. I couldn't feel any pain because of all the drugs they gave me, but I remembered the severe pain when the bullet hit my waist. I thought I was going to die right then and there.Ryan dropped the gun right after he shot me and just stood there like a statue. It was as if he couldn't believe it himself."You shot me, asshole," I had screamed at him before dropping to the ground. Pain shot through his body, and the first thing he thought about was Delilah. The thought of me dying and not seeing her again hurt worse than my wound.I should've treated her better, I thought to myself as I lay on the ground, bleeding. I heard someone screaming and shouting. Sounded like the security guard. And then the noises of him fighting Ryan. About time he got here, I thought before losing consciousness.The next time I opened my eyes, I was already in the hospital. A man wearing a white hospital coat was hovering over my face."Where's my wife? Wh
Delilah"Stay still," I ordered."It hurts!" Sebastian complained."If you would stop trying to walk around, then this wouldn't have happened," I said irritably as I bandaged his wound again. He was too stubborn to stay in bed and rest. Instead, he tried to move around, which reopened his wound. "I swear I will tie you to the bed if you keep it up," I threatened."Oh, I've always loved your kinky side, wife," he winked.I rolled her eyes. Sebastian is trying to be a pain in the ass, and I refuse to tolerate it. Maybe offering to take care of him was a bad idea. "I don't have a kinky side, you jerk. That's your area of expertise. Now shut up and stop moving," I barked."Gee, so bossy. Whatever happened to my sweet, innocent bride?" Sebastian touched my arm and rubbed it slowly.I shivered. It would've been so much better if he didn't make my heart flutter just with a little touch. I felt pathetic and powerless against him, but I had to hide those feelings deep inside so Sebastian didn'
SimonThe whole situation with that bastard Ryan made everything so chaotic as if my life wasn't chaotic enough!I have my own problems to deal with, and this was just extra stress for me.Olivia Erickson.I kept a close eye on her before my brother's wedding, and I'm glad I did because it turned out Olivia had plans of her own to ruin Sebastian's wedding.I could tell she was devastated. I underestimated her feelings for Sebastian. I thought it was just a small crush, but Olivia seemed to be almost in love with him. She was determined to have him and would do anything to crash that wedding.I couldn't let that happen, so I did the only thing that I deemed necessary at the time. I kidnapped her for the day. It was an impulsive decision, and I don't regret doing that now.When I saw her sneaking around the wedding venue right before Sebastian's wedding started, I knew exactly what she was planning to do. She was there for the sole reason of ruining everything.I didn't miss a beat and
SebastianI wait for Delilah to help me bathe. It wasn't like I couldn't do it on my own. I was wounded, not paralyzed. But I pretended to be in too much pain to be able to move on my own so Delilah would help me more. I wanted to be close to her at all times.I can tell she hasn't forgiven me yet, and it is eating me up inside. I want her back. Heart and soul."Delilah! What's taking you so long?" I yelled from the bedroom, knowing it'd piss her off, but I couldn't help it."I'm on my way! Just shut up and wait," she screamed from inside the bathroom.I chuckled to myself. I can't get mad, no matter how rude she acted with me. She is doing everything she can to make me better. She was nurturing me.No one had ever taken care of me this way, I had nannies growing up, but they ignored me for the most part.I wasn't used to this, nor did I feel like I deserved it, but I wanted to enjoy it as long as possible.She came back with a bucket of water and a towel."What are you planning to do
DelilahSebastian stared at me as if he was trying to gather his thoughts."What did you just say?" His voice cracked."I am carrying your child, Sebastian. You got me pregnant because you wouldn't stop coming inside me, asshole," I barked.He finally snapped out of it. "I'm going to be a father?""Yes.""You have no idea how happy that makes me, my love," he said huskily and pulled me to his chest."Do you mean that?" I mumbled against his chest."Are you kidding me? Of course, I mean it. I love you so much. I want nothing more than for you to be the mother of my children, Delilah. I'm sorry about everything I put you through, and I'll do everything I can to make it up to you." His voice was thick with emotion."Good. Now let go of me because I need a shower," I got up and hurried to the bathroom. I am trying hard to act like I don't care about him, but I can't stop blushing. He still made me feel flustered."Are you happy?" he asked me, wondering.I don't answer and walk away.Am I
