Sebastian's head was throbbing and he felt extremely cold as soon as he woke up. He was struggling to stand up and quickly turned off the air-condition. He then went to the comfort room to wash his face and gurgled. His eyes were still close and he can't even stand up properly without holding onto the sink for support since he felt too weak to stand alone.After taking a short nap yesterday, he changed his clothes and went back to Empire to work again. He polished and arranged his pending songs aside from finishing Carmina's recording, and he wasn't able to eat lunch because he didn't want to leave his work until it's done. He never liked having a pending work and Sandra was the only person who made him ditch it. Though, it was the best day of his life, he's body, however, was to sacrifice as a cons for that unplanned date. "Bro! Are you already awake? Get up! You have visitor!" Simon shouted from the outside of his room. His brows furrowed and quickly dashed outside the comfort room
That was one of the moment Sebastian was surprised by himself. He cannot believed he made it, and he's really proud about that.He grinned triumphantly as he continued dragging Sandra inside his room. He's not thinking of doing anything, aside from sleeping and waking up to see her there. If it's not too much to ask, he wanted her to take care of him more. He was busy daydreaming and predicting things to happen the moment he wakes up, he failed to see Sandra was grinning mischievously all along behind him, as she let herself be dragged by him to his room. Her eyes were fixated at his back as it glinted in mischief when Sebastian locked them inside his room. "We can't do it, Sebastian. you need to rest first," she said while grinning at him slyly. Sebastian scowled as he didn't get it right away. He was idle for quite long seconds before he loudly gasped in front of Sandra. "W-what?" He asked in bewilderment. Meanwhile, Sandra giggled, eyes sparkling in amusement while watching his
"You still need some sleep," Sandra commented right after she finished eating. Sebastian quickly shook his head in protest as he put down the utensils and looked at her. "I will just have an headache if I oversleep. Let's just watch some movies" he suggested. He was not done yet with his plate, but his idea of watching movies with her excites him he immediately forgot about it as he waited for Sandra's response. "Finish you food first," she commanded while giving him a warning look. If only Sandra was the one who cooked it, there's no doubt he'll finish it with gusto. However, she didn't have time to learn how to cook, that's why they ended up ordering from fast food. He didn't like it but he had no choice, because Sandra didn't want him to work on anything and just rest instead. Silently, he complied and quickly cleaned his plate. Sandra stood up and gave him another warning look before cleaning up the table. "You're my visitor, Sandra," Sebastian scowled. "I'm your nurse. You
Think of trees, flowers, beaches, building.. Fuck. Sebastian shook his head and groaned as he hardly withdrew from their kisses. He didn't want to, but the more the kiss deepens, that more it was hard for him to control himself. Shutting his eyes tightly, he let out a loud and long sigh. "Why did you stop?" He slowly opened his eyes and got welcomed by a confused but cute expression of Sandra. Biting his lips, he looked at her apologetically, "I'm sorry""For what?" It was quick, as if she's really upset about it. That's why Sebastian immediately stepped forward and enveloped her in his arms, "I'm sorry for making you mad" Sandra slightly pulled away to look up on him, "Why did you stop then? You don't want me?" Her eyes were screaming disappointment, whilst her voice sounded just normal, like she's in a casual conversation with him. It made him felt guilty in instant. Seeing that again brought back all the regrets and pain he felt after he lied to her. He placed his hands o
They happily ate dinner together and Sebastian was too happy to serve Sandra, that he didn't let her stood up from her seat despite the latter's incessant reminder that he was sick. He didn't feel sick anymore though. Knowing that she's finally his girlfriend eased everything that hurts in him. But even though he felt elated, his shyness didn't leave him just yet. Just like his feelings, it was there to stay and vowed to be with him forever. “We should really do it,” Sandra said suggestively, after she caught Sebastian giving her furtively glances when they were sitting on the sofa side by side. “I'm fed up seeing you looking troubled and inwardly battling against yourself if you should do something or not. I'm your girlfriend now, Sebastian. If you want to do whatever you want to do with me, you go ahead and never hesitate.. Just do it, okay? You'll never know if I like it,” she grinned naughtily.Sebastian nodded and bit his bottom lip before looking away. They've decided to con
Sebastian shook my head in disbelief buta small smile escaped his lips. 'Even universe was against it'.The doorbell was ringing nonstop and Sebastian had no choice but to open it. He carried Sandra and made her sit properly on the sofa before he walked to the door and prepared to shout to whoever that cockblocker was. Without a word, he opened the door and greeted by his annoying brother. “Why are you looking at me like that? What did I do?!” asked Simon, clueless of the sin he just unknowingly committed.Sebastian ruffled his hair. He grunted and cursed inaudibly as he turned his back on his brother. He went straight to the kitchen to get some water to freshen up and calm his nerves down even just for a little.Everything felt strange to him. He wasn't aware that his needs can be beyond control and can make a him become irritated and irrational when it wasn't fulfilled and suddenly got interrupted. He should actually be grateful that Simon showed up, however, he couldn't, for h
Sandra comfortably sipping her coffee while Carmina seemed resilient sitting across her. The announcement of the new collaboration single of Crown and Empire Entertainment has been freshly released, at exactly two hours ago. Unfortunately, despite the thrills and excitement from the public, Carmina and Crown Entertainment's three year old issue has been resurfaced that forced the two women to show up together, to convince people that the issue has been long forgotten and show that the two parties were already in good terms. The intention of their meeting was only for publicity."Our efforts will be put into waste if you won't relax, Carmina." Sandra commented calmly as she stirred her coffee and didn't bother giving her a single glance. "I couldn't see the charismatic female now. Does years away from Korea changed you into a lame one?" she taunted.Carmina sat properly and fixed her butterfly sunglasses as her eyes darted straight on Sandra. "You're still blunt. I wonder if Sebast
Chapter 58 | Hug"Is this true or this is just edited?" Sebastian inquired immediately the moment Carmina finally arrived. He showed her the tab with the high definition pictures of her and Sandra in one frame, laughing with each other like they were old close friends."What do you think? Isn't it a good publicity?" Carmina raised an eyebrow. She stared at Sebastian and grinned at the obvious changes in him. "You're in a good mood" she pointed, though she already expected it before going to his studio. Sebastian stopped looking at the pictures and shifted his gazes on her. His eyes were sparkling as he beamed widely at her. "Today is a good day," he replied."Why is that?" The guy's smile widened, showing his gums. However, he just shook his head and didn't say anything.Carmina tilted her head and stared at her best friend. "You don't really have any plan to tell me that you're already in a relationship, huh?" Sebastian's smile faltered instantly. He's got foot rooted on his
SPECIAL CHAPTERSebastian narrowed his eyes at the smiling face of Sandra. He couldn't believe her! “He even told me he loves me!” she continued cheerfully, not minding the fact that her husband's already flaming in anger with her story. Who wouldn't anyway? This wife's admirers didn't decrease even after their marriage and have four kids. She's already in her forties, yet men out there of any age continued fantasizing over her! Some even had the audacity to confess just like what she's telling him right at the moment, and it's making him really furious! “Of course I told him I wouldn't replace you with anyone else. Phoenix is the only one in this world,” she giggled. And just like that, like his old self who never fails to melt everytime she says the right words, he smiled widely, showing his gummy and pearly white teeth. Ah, he's still and will always be head over heels for her even after years of being together. “I really want to think about kissing you hard on national televis
“Before we start, I would like to thank you first for trusting us for this exclusive interview again, Sandra,” the host stated.Sandra flashed a smile, “Of course, this is my favorite show”“Really?” She nodded, “And I kinda owe you, too..”The host seemed surprised and she couldn't help but gaped at her. Meanwhile, Sandra chuckled as she watched the host looking at her, suddenly confused.“I found my love because of you,” she continued.Everyone, from the audience to the staff squealed at her words. Even the host herself couldn't hide her giddiness despite the confusion still registered on her face. However, someone from the side didn't look pleased and rather seemed pissed off over something no one could figure out why. “How?” the host asked excitedly.Sandra glanced on the side where Sebastian was silently standing. She then giggled at the sight of her husband looking very pissed off.“You interviewed him after my confession”“Oh.. so, you were watching back then?” “I told you,
Shocked, confused, lost were all be seen in everyone's faces after that speech from Sandra Mendez. Their cameras even zoomed in on the piece of paper she was holding, then almost instantly, disbelief and bewilderment were then painted as their expression. “Sebastian Lee?” one queried, puzzled of who it was. Others gasped loudly upon hearing his name and those who were standing near the guy turned their heads on him and gave him an incredulous look. “He's Phoenix right?! His real name is Sebastian Lee!” another shouted. Sebastian felt nervous at the sudden attention he unexpectedly was receiving. His determination to go up on stage had instantly deteriorated when everyone was talking about him with full anticipation.“He's here!” another pointed the direction where Sebastian was.Fortunately, before anyone from the reporters and journalists could move, Sandra immediately caught their attention back on her once again. “I just like to clarify things," she said. She wasn't looking
Sebastian felt like he's got flashed by the bucket of ice cold water on the head right at the moment he heard that utterly familiar voice. His heartbeat skipped its beat as his knees went jelly, making him suddenly kneeled down on the floor weakly. He heard the loud beeping from the other line which meant that the call ended by the other party. However, his hand vibrated right after which caught his attention back and snapped him out from being astonished. Reluctantly, he checked the screen and saw Bammie's name flashed on it. He quickly answered it in case it was Sandra but only to be disappointed when it was her best friend instead. “Come here faster at the Crown building,” she said, sounding in haste. Sebastian was about to ask why, but the call quickly ended, leaving him puzzled and annoyed. He stared at his phone with brows connected together and thought whether to go there or not. But since he was in denial that it was Sandra who apologized to him over the phone, he quickly
News about the royal couple being married broke down and spread out so quickly, right after Jay Kim showed the marriage certificate on national television. Their fans celebrated like there was no tomorrow while some showed their dismay as they did like Phoenix more for their princess. Flashnews about them kept on coming here and there and nonstop articles were posted on the internet because the media were the first to celebrate the great news. Sandra sighed as she looked at Sebastian apologetically for she knew it was already exhausting for her husband to have never ending rumors about her. They were now in Sebastian's apartment, particularly in his room. Since Sandra was the hottest topic, they both decided to not go home to her mansion because they were certain that there's a lot of reporters waiting for her there for an exclusive interview. “Aren't you tired?” she queried as she wrapped her arms around her husband's waist. Sebastian shook his head and kissed his wife's forehead
“Are you married?” Thomas straightforwardly asked in a low baritone voice that gave everyone goosebumps except for Sandra. The old man didn't bother to say any greetings, not even wait for Sandra to ask him why he was suddenly there and just went straight to the point and asked her about the news. Meanwhile, Sandra folded her arms across her chest as she equalled her father's murderous stares. She looked calm and seemed unbothered and not scared with the presence of the intimidating old man, most probably because she was as intimidating as him as well. “Yes,” she answered without any hesitation. Then the corner of her lips slowly lifted upward as her eyes sparkled brightly, “But not with Jay Kim,” she immediately corrected before her father could ask if Jay's paper was not fake.Simon, Carmina and Levi gasped loudly upon hearing Sandra's answer. They all then turned to Sebastian suspiciously and saw the guy bowing his head looking guilty while fidgeting with his fingers. Sandra hea
Upon seeing Jamaica's unusual expression, everyone in the office felt nervous, especially when she mentioned ‘bad news’. There was just too much bad news that kept on coming for them. And hearing that there was more of it made them instantly panicked and thought of the worst because they all assumed that it came from Thomas Mendez. They all thought that it was indeed a suicide to go against the old man, since the day didn't even pass and they were already facing another problem. “That bad?” Sandra queried as she frowned at her assistant.She then glanced at Sebastian and mindlessly walked to his direction upon seeing the guy looking pale and not with himself. As she sat beside him, she grabbed his hand and entwined it with hers without saying anything as her focus went back to Jamaica.From the side, Jamaica nodded in response which made everyone get curious about the news she brought in. “What's the bad news?” asked Bammie, a little impatient. She was not in her best mood because
Bammie and Levi's pictures immediately spread out in all social media sites, since it happened in public and everyone who was casually walking in the hallway that time grabbed their phones and captured the moment when the two decided to display their affection there. Minutes later, rumors about their relationship followed, as the reporters who were just in the auditorium nearby immediately got the report about the scene outside and took the opportunity for a juicy scoop. Which immediately stole the spotlight from what happened in the press conference. Meanwhile, Sandra quickly led them to her office upstairs when people started filing around them. And she also quickly called the security to usher the visitors from the auditorium outside because the press conference was already done to avoid them lurking around the building and coming to her office. “So.. care to explain?” she folded her hands while raising her eyebrows on Bammie. Meanwhile, Bammie rolled her eyes and scoffed. “Why
Levi looked behind his shoulder as he noticed that Sandra was missing. His thick brows then furrowed upon seeing the woman was left behind there, immobile and stayed still on her spot while looking somewhere else. Following her line of vision, Levi's jaw instantly clenched when he caught a stranger hiding behind the huge plant decoration, in a nearby distance on the right corner of the hallway, holding a camera that was directed towards them and obviously taking pictures.His gaze then went back to Sandra and immediately, his thick eyebrows pulled together as he wondered why the camera was on them when the woman they were after was on the other side. Levi was about to just shrug it off when he thought that the stranger might've just mistook one of the two girls with him as Sandra. However, it would be impossible because the woman was slimmer than the other two. The creases on his forehead deepened as his eyes wandered to his companion, searching for the possible target of that stran
