View MoreKRISTINE'S POVThe passing of time was marked by days turning weeks and weeks morphing into weeks. It had already been two weeks since the grand launch of my brand, and also two weeks since I last laid eyes on Sebastian. Following the incident at the park the other night, he seemed to have vanished from my life.He had made a statement about making his appearance more frequent. However, I guess he didn't mean any of that, as I hadn't caught a glimpse of him in the last fourteen days.I already believed it was for the best. Perhaps our encounter was merely by coincidence that day and he hadn't returned for me like I had thought initially. That was a relief, right? At least I didn't have to concern myself with the prospect of him interfering in my relationship with Dave. It had taken days before I had been able to convince Dave that Sebastian meant nothing to me. Although I didn't disclose the true status of Sebastian being Mia's biological father. I thought it was best to keep it that
SEBASTIAN'S POVDisregarding his inquiry with indifference, I shifted my focus back to Kristine, my expression softening as I spoke to her."You were amazing tonight. Congratulations, darling... I had no idea you'd come this far. I'm so proud of you,"She rolled her eyes and huffed in irritation. Completely ignoring me and my commendations, she prepared to leave but just when she turned to go, I gently grasped her by the arm, effectively stopping her."Please, Kris, just hear me out." I implored as she darted her gaze at me in annoyance."What do you think you're doing?" She snapped. "Let go of me, right now!" Her eyes blazed with anger, but I hesitated, not wanting her to walk away again. I really needed to talk to her tonight.When I didn’t release her, her boyfriend intervened, grabbing my hand with a steely glare."She said to let go," he said, his voice firm as they sailed into my ears.I turned to look at him, annoyance surging through me at his interference. Who the fuck asked
SEBASTIAN'S POV;Grappling with Kristine's reaction to my unexpected appearance and witnessing her walk away with Amelia's child left me heartbroken, to say the least. However, I didn't give up just yet. I already anticipated she wasn't going to take my unexpected arrival well. I completely understood why she disregarded me. I had seen the shock in her expression when she saw me. She sure as hell hadn't expected me to show up like this.I also registered her friend's alarm and concern before she shook her head and ran inside, chasing after Kristine, presumably to comfort her or something. However, what I couldn't comprehend was the man who had arrived earlier with Kristine. I had seen him holding her hand protectively, I couldn't help but wonder who he was to her. Perhaps, he was her bodyguard? Given my assistant had already filled me in on the prominent woman Kristine had turned into.It was the grand opening of her brand tonight and I wanted to see her shine on stage. I communicated
KRISTINE'S POVI stayed silent as I contemplated my thoughts but then Amelia queried me again. She just couldn't help it, could she?"What are we going to do, Kristine?""What do you mean what are we going to do about what?" I snapped, my eyes reflecting annoyance. My frustration was already simmering and her incessant questioning was only adding to my anger.However, she replied. "About Him. Sebastian. He's back. That can't be a coincidence... It can't be. He must have discovered our whereabouts somehow." She stated, worry laden in her voice.With a weary sigh, I turned away from her, unsure of what to say. I was indeed troubled. I felt a whirlpool of emotions at that moment - Anger, anxiety, and confusion. However, the thing I was more concerned about was my upcoming speech, which I'd have to deliver in thirty minutes.But how could I possibly perform well when I felt so disoriented in this moment? My thoughts were all over the place and I could barely get a grip of myself. Sebastia
KRISTINE'S POVShock overwhelmed me as I blinked severally like I had seen a ghost as I locked eyes with him. My heart sank to my feet. I couldn't believe it. I was frozen momentarily at first but swiftly acting on impulse as I realized my child was with him, I quickly reached for her and yanked him from his hold, pulling her to myself and shielding her eyes as though I was trying to protect her from seeing him. It was a stupid reaction, I know but that was all I could think of at that moment.I had initially thought it might just be a figment of my imagination and that couldn't be Sebastian staring right back at me, but recalling he had used the pet name 'mi vida' on me (that was a pet name only Sebastian called me), realization dawned on me like a ton of bricks. It was him. It was really him -- My ex-husband, Sebastian Weston.I was stunned into silence. What the hell was he doing here? How was he even here? Several distressing questions swirled my mind but I could barely find the
SEBASTIAN How much time has passed since I last laid eyes on her? Five years.And how long has it been since I've been searching for her? Four years. It took me an entire year to realize I had made a grave mistake divorcing my wife. A year to come to terms with my true feelings for her. It wasn't until she left and I had spent an entire year without her that I recognized I had made a terrible mistake. I never should have let her go. Letting her leave remains my biggest regret.My relationship with my mistress, Lydia Walker, wavered merely months after my separation from Kristine. I realized I didn't love her as I had thought I did. But I had to put up with her for an entire year due to her assertion that she was expecting my child. It was simply after the birth of the baby that I discovered the shocking truth that Lydia had deceived me about being pregnant with my child. Her child was never mine --- It was a bastard pregnancy.This revelation was the final blow that prompted me to e
KRISTINE ~FIVE YEARS LATER~"Mommy is beautiful..." The small voice of a toddler broke into my thoughts as I stared absentmindedly at my reflection in the mirror.I instantly felt all of my nerves unravel as her sweet compliment sailed into my ears. I couldn't help the smile that stretched on my lips as I shifted my gaze to her-- My little Angel, Mia Devereaux. She was currently settled in the arms of my best friend as my make-up artists tended to me in the dressing section of my room. It was a celebratory moment and I couldn't deny how nervous I had been until I heard Mia's compliment."Please, excuse me for a second," I whispered to the make-up artist, who nodded curtly and withdrew from me as I swiftly rose to my feet. I then crossed the room to the other corner, approaching Amelia and Mia."Hey, baby," I grinned as I gently pinched my five-year-old chubby cheeks, and she giggled in response, her reaction causing my heart to melt with affection as I admired her cuteness.But then
KRISTINE I was somewhat fazed for a minute or two as I grappled with what I had just heard from the doctor.'You're two months pregnant.' the words echoed repeatedly in my mind like a mantra. It felt so unfamiliar yet so shocking. I couldn't believe it.I absentmindedly collected the paperwork from her, my mind still hazy with numerous thoughts."Pregnant?" Amelia blurted out. She was just as fazed as I was."Yes, miss. There's nothing wrong with her, she's simply experiencing the symptoms of her pregnancy. I will have some drugs prescribed for her nonetheless." The doctor added, her smile still intact.My lips slightly parted in shock. I couldn't believe it. I just couldn't believe it. I was pregnant? I quickly pulled out of my reverie and skimmed through the paperwork, which boldly confirmed the doctor's words. This was my test report with my name on it, I wasn't mistaken. And then it began to dawn on me slowly.I realized I truly hadn't seen my period for the previous month. I als
KRISTINE "You have to pull yourself together, Kristine. You can't keep doing this to yourself. The man you're wasting these tears for isn't worth it a bit." My best friend, Amelia, tried to console me as I remained still on the couch, tears trickling down my face and pooling at my ears.It had been two solid weeks since Sebastian divorced me, yet I found it difficult to move on. I was so tired of life. After the incident two weeks prior, I had even gone to his family's house to implore them to help me beg Sebastian to take me back. But instead of helping me, they abused me and kicked me out, with Vanya, Sebastian's mother, bitterly stating that I was never good enough for her son and the divorce was a great idea. She went further to order her butlers to kick me out and warned them never to welcome me in their home again. I was so devastated. I knew Vanya never really liked me before now. She had been against my marriage to her son right from the start because I was just some poor or
KRISTINE "Make me cum, baby... Argh, argh," The loud moans of his mistress had me freezing by the doorway as my eyes witnessed his betrayal.My heart shattered instantly and for a moment, I struggled to regain my composure and senses as I couldn't believe my eyes? "Was that really my husband, Seb, fucking some other woman in our marital bed???"***One unexpected night was all it took to have it all crumbling down. Just one night. One mistake. My mistake. I wasn't supposed to be home until 8 pm tonight, but I was feeling nauseous this fateful evening at my workplace, so I just had to abruptly pack up and call it a day. I was so tired and all I wanted was to be in the arms of my lovely husband, Sebastian. He was the sweetest man in the world and he always took care of me very well. He treated me so specially to the point I found myself falling for him than I had expected when we signed our strictly business contract marriage certificate three years ago. I loved him with all my heart...
