Sebastian’s POV

Her reaction? Exactly what I expected.

The glare in her eyes, the way her lips parted in disbelief, and the tension in her body—it only made me want to push her buttons more.

I don’t know what’s gotten into me. I should’ve let her go when she stood up from the bed. But something about the way she snapped at me… something about how she tried to escape again…

It got to me.

Celeste had been pushing me away since day one.

And now that I was finally facing the fact that she was doing something behind my back, I couldn’t just sit still.

I needed to know.

“You’re insane,” she hissed at me, her voice shaking—not from fear, but from rage.

“You really think everything can be solved by money, huh? That you can just throw your wealth around and fix things?”

I didn’t answer.

Instead, I stayed where I was, eyes locked with hers.

I could feel the heat between us—not just from proximity, but from all the unspoken tension that had been building for days.

“Get off me, Sebastian,” she sa

  • Falling In Love with my Cold Billionaire Husband   Chapter 34: Attraction

    Eloise’s POVI’m such an idiot!Why did I even react like that?More importantly, why was he acting like that?Just because I didn’t tell him I got a job?I shook my head and quickly splashed water onto my face from the faucet.I feel like my entire face turned red because of it.He was trying to buy me.Was he even serious?Ever since I agreed to this deal, I was already bought by the Everharts.Being married to him now only confirmed it.I walked out of the bathroom after drying my face with a towel.Good thing I had a bed set up in here. At least I wouldn’t have to sleep on the floor tonight.Still, even with that, I had no plans of going back to that bedroom.Just as I expected—I barely got any sleep last night.So frustrating!Why did Sebastian have to decide to sleep here of all nights?I grabbed my phone to check the time, and my eyes widened.It was already seven in the morning?!I’m late!I rushed to my feet and burst out of the craft room.Because I was in such a hurry, I co

  • Falling In Love with my Cold Billionaire Husband   Chapter 35: Dinner?

    Eloise’s POVI had no idea how I managed to survive breakfast.Maybe it was because I was too flustered, too caught up in the storm swirling inside my chest, that I didn’t even taste a single thing I ate. Sure, my body was moving, going through the motions—but my mind? It was everywhere but the kitchen. Even the maids kept sneaking glances at me, probably wondering why I was gripping my spoon like I was about to stab someone with it.And that someone was Sebastian.I could still see him. That image—him stepping out of the bathroom, half-naked, water dripping from his abs like some cruel torture advertisement—was permanently burned into my brain.I should’ve been immune to him by now, right?Wrong.Because somehow, just that glimpse of his skin stirred something in me. Something that felt... alive. Awake. Like I’d been numb for so long, and someone suddenly snapped their fingers and dragged me into a world where I could feel again.No. I shook my head. I shouldn’t be thinking like this

  • Falling In Love with my Cold Billionaire Husband   Chapter 1: Her Shadow

    I adjusted my thick, black-rimmed glasses, squinting to get a clearer view of the woman speaking on stage. Catching my reflection in the glass wall beside me, the striking similarity between us couldn't have been more obvious. That was what they always made sure I remembered.Even though a few people still complimented me, despite my simple, casual dress at this grand event, I could never believe I’d ever stand out the way she did. And honestly? I didn’t want to outshine the woman of the hour.“Thank you all for coming to my event,” Celeste Everhart, my sister, said, adopted sister to be exact. Her sweet, melodic voice echoing through the grand hall.I smiled a bit. I’ve always adored her voice — soft, confident, and charming. Everything about Celeste was captivating. She exuded confidence and grace that people couldn’t help but love.That I can never do or be. So, I silently support her from the side. “Tonight marks the start of something new in my life. I want to thank my father,

  • Falling In Love with my Cold Billionaire Husband   Chapter 2: My Boyfriend

    I stood frozen in the doorway, my breath caught in my throat. It felt like my head was swelling, my vision narrowing as I stared at the bed. It was like a nightmare—except I was wide awake. How could they do this to me? Celeste was the first to notice me. She lifted her head, an infuriatingly slow smirk curling her lips, as if she found the entire situation amusing. “Oh, look who’s here.” Adrian turned to face me, and for a second, I expected guilt, maybe even surprise. But he didn’t flinch. Not even a little. Instead, he leaned back lazily, his lips curving into a smirk as he adjusted the blanket draped over his lower half, not even bothering to cover himself properly. “Eloise,” he drawled, amusement lacing his voice. “I didn’t expect you to come here. You should’ve texted me first.” His voice was light, casual—like I was nothing more than a minor inconvenience. The cake box slipped from my hands, landing with a dull thud on the floor. But the real mess, the real disaster,

  • Falling In Love with my Cold Billionaire Husband   Chapter 3: My Painting

    My breath hitched as I stared at the images on the screen. Each brushstroke, every delicate detail — I knew them by heart. I had poured hours, days, even years into those pieces.They were mine.A reporter stepped forward, microphone in hand."Celeste, your debut gallery has taken the art world by storm. Especially this piece at the center. Some critics are already comparing your work to a genius contemporary artist, Ellaine Laurant. How does it feel to receive such high praise?"Celeste feigned humility, pressing a hand to her chest with a dazzling smile. "Oh, I’m truly honored. I never imagined my work would be received this well."My fingers dug into the sheets, my nails biting into the fabric as rage bubbled in my chest.Another reporter asked, "Your pieces have such depth, such emotion. Especially this piece at the center. Can you tell us what inspires you to paint this scorched landscape? It looks like it has debris from after the fire. But look… the single dandelion blooming a

    I woke up feeling like my head was being split in two. It was so heavy, and it felt like I couldn’t even open my eyes.I felt like I’d been run over by a truck.“Ouch…” I groaned, pressing a hand to my forehead.I swear I’m never drinking again!But slowly, the memories of yesterday started coming back. I forced my eyes open and stared at the ceiling.Right. My golden sister stole my paintings.How dare she?But what could I even do? Our parents would just take her side — they always did — no matter how hard I fought.Besides, it was just a painting. I could always make more. But it still hurt.Adrian gave them to her, knowing how much those paintings meant to me. Did I really mean so little to him?My thoughts were cut off when my phone started ringing. Eyes still shut, I reached out to my bedside table and answered without even checking who was calling.“Hello?” I croaked.“Eloise! Where the hell are you?! Did you forget I told you to come home today?!”My entire body jolted awake a

  • Falling In Love with my Cold Billionaire Husband   Chapter 5: The Groom

    Sebastian’s POVI stared blankly at the tablet screen, my vision darkening with every passing second as I watched the woman speaking confidently in front of the crowd.It was her — Celeste Everhart. My bride.I still couldn’t believe it had come to this — that I had to marry her. Or anyone, for that matter.If it weren’t for my father’s insistence that I settle down, I would never have agreed to this ridiculous deal. He favored my stepbrother so much that he thought I should be the one to suffer instead of him. Even though they were the ones who created this problem—spreading rumors that weren’t true. Now, my father thinks I needed to get married to a respectful family to save our family’s tarnished reputation. What a dumb idea.I could have refused — I didn’t need his fortune. I could stand on my own. But I wasn’t about to let his other family leech off his money and power.And Celeste Everhart was the only “suitable” bride available. Naturally, my father chose her.The Everharts

    “What?! And what did you say?” Mia asked, her eyes wide in disbelief. As expected, Mia was completely shocked by my news. Honestly, I still couldn’t believe it myself — that I was getting married to someone I didn’t even know. “Do I have a choice?” I said, hugging myself tightly. Mia stood up from the couch and began pacing the living room of my apartment, her frustration obvious. “You shouldn’t agree to this, Eloise! This is your life we’re talking about! This isn’t just some event where you stand in for her like before — this is marriage!” I avoided her gaze. Mia knew everything going on in my life — she was the only person I could confide in. “I know,” I whispered. “But if I don’t do this… what happens to the orphanage? Because of my connection to Everharts, I’ve been able to help them. Mother Celine’s treatment at the hospital — it’s all because of their money. I can’t just turn my back on them, Mia. They’re my only family.” Mia let out a frustrated sigh and sat besid

  • Falling In Love with my Cold Billionaire Husband   Chapter 32: Confusion

    Eloise’s POVI’d been tossing and turning in bed for a while now.I couldn’t tell whether I was more annoyed with myself or with Sebastian. I still couldn’t believe he found out about my new job—and just like I expected, he didn’t like it.But why? What does he want me to do? Just sit here in his house and rot? Just because I agreed to marry him doesn’t mean I’m going to let my life go to waste playing the role of his wife.What I couldn’t wrap my head around, though, was why he looked so affected.When I glanced beside me, he was still there. Lying down, yes, but his eyes were wide open, staring at the ceiling.For the first time in our short, awkward marriage, he actually decided to sleep in this house. And honestly? I felt weird about it. I wasn’t used to having someone beside me in bed.I stayed turned on my side, trying to keep my distance, but I couldn’t take it anymore.I sat up and was about to get out of bed when—“Where are you going?”I closed my eyes for a second and le

  • Falling In Love with my Cold Billionaire Husband   Chapter 31: He knows 2

    Sebastian’s POVShe’s working?I stared at the folder in my hands as if it might suddenly explain itself. Designs, schedules, lists of names—some were crossed out, some had notes beside them. Each page revealed a different aspect of a world I had no idea she was part of.What the hell was this?Savarre Studios. The name rang no bells. I would’ve known if she had applied for a job. I would’ve noticed if she started working—unless she deliberately kept it from me.I clenched my jaw.Was this what she’d been sneaking out for? Hiding from me like I was some stranger? Since when did she need to keep secrets?Putting the folder back down, I paced the room in silence.My wife was hiding something from me. That wasn’t just a random guess now—it was fact. And even worse, she planned it. She didn’t just stumble into a job. She made space in her life for it, slipped away every day, lied about it, and never once thought I deserved to know.What the hell happened to trust?I stopped in front of th

  • Falling In Love with my Cold Billionaire Husband   Chapter 30: He knows

    Sebastian’s POVI frowned as I replayed the CCTV footage of our house.It had been days since I last went home to Celeste. I hadn’t seen her since—partly because I had been busy too.But she had been going out every single day.She would leave early in the morning and return late at night.What made it even more suspicious was that she didn’t bring Bricks with her.Last I checked, she never said anything about having somewhere to go.Was she that upset with me that she couldn’t even bother to tell me?I exhaled deeply and leaned back against my swivel chair.“Marcus,” I called out.Marcus, who had been reading a report, immediately looked up.“Yes, sir?”“Can you check what my wife has been doing lately? Seems like she’s been busy.”Marcus set down the papers in his hand and stood.“Alright, sir. I’ll call her driver.”I gave a small nod.Since the last time I saw Celeste, I couldn’t get her out of my head.Especially with that woman at the auction who looked exactly like her.I could

    Eloise’s POVI couldn’t help but squeal when I read the email from Savarre Studios.I’m hired!“Oh my God! I’m hired!” I repeated excitedly.I was about to jump up and down when my bedroom door suddenly burst open. I froze and looked toward it.“Mrs. Whitmore?! What’s wrong?!” Lucy asked in a panic.I laughed when I saw the worried look on her face. I stood up and held her hands.“Lucy! I got the job!” I said with a huge grin.Her brows furrowed even more. “Hired? What do you mean hired?”“I’m going to be a fashion designer! I got accepted into Ms. Savarre’s company!”Lucy’s face twisted slightly in confusion. “R-Really? I thought something bad happened to you, Eloise. You really scared me.”I laughed at her reaction. She was clearly worried, and I even saw her take a deep breath when I explained it was just about my job.“Nothing’s wrong! But thank you for worrying about me.”“Congratulations, Eloise. But… does Sir know?”I froze. The excitement I felt began to fade the moment she

    "Celeste?"I stared at the woman whose hand was still raised, holding a card number. She was wearing a thin half-mask, but there was no way I could be mistaken. After all those nights of watching Celeste sleep, I had memorized every inch of her face. But something felt different about her today."I thought I told you not to let anyone bother my wife?" I asked Marcus.I turned to him for a second. His brows furrowed. "Yes, sir. Your wife is currently at home."I looked ba

    Sebastian’s POV"The auction will start at 8 p.m., Sir. Should I ask your wife to get ready?"I glanced at Marcus, who was seated in the front seat.I sighed and looked outside the window.After everything that happened, I decided to leave her alone for now. I haven’t even asked Bricks for any updates about her. I just wanted to give her space—or maybe give myself a break from overthinking.I didn’t understand it myself, but lately… she just wouldn’t leave my mind.
