Tamara slowly lost herself in the kiss as they breathed each other in.A seagull suddenly called.Tamara shivered and jolted back to her senses. She pushed Sebastian away. “What are you doing?”Sebastian chuckled lowly and hugged her even more tightly. “What do you think?”Tamara’s face turned bright red. She quickly signed, “Get yourself together!”She made her way inside.Sebastian had other ideas and drew her back again. He wrapped his arms around her waist. “I can get myself together with your help.”Sebastian saw no issues with that.Tamara was speechless.It was still light outside! They were at sea!How could he initiate this?Tamara’s crystal-clear eyes glared at him. Sebastian’s deep gaze met hers.Tamara paused. When she heard him chuckling, she turned red with anger.“Don’t lower your head. I don’t mind having you watch.” Sebastian looked into his woman’s eyes and was satisfied with how red her face was.“I’m starving!” Tamara wanted to put an end to the conver
Tamara paused when she heard this. What did Clacton have to do with her marriage to Sebastian?At the same time, Tamara could sense how rigid Sebastian had become. Even the sun could not warm up the cold air around them.Tamara turned to look at Sebastian. His lips thinned into a fine line as he had a hard look on his face. The air around him became tense.Tamara furrowed her brows. What was going on?What did Clacton have to do with Sebastian?The atmosphere became tense. The sea breeze blew against them as the waves crashed into the cruise ship. Even the cool breeze couldn’t take the edge off the tension.Tamara did not like where this was going. She tugged at Sebastian’s sleeve.Sebastian snapped back to his senses and spared Tamara a glance. His eyes softened. “It’s fine.”“This was never a secret. If they dare to come for Tamara, I won’t let them off the hook easily,” growled Sebastian. He looked like a majestic lion who stood on his ground.He then wrapped his arm around
Tamara froze. She hurriedly checked the number to make sure she didn’t call the wrong person. She didn’t.Why did a woman pick up Sebastian’s call?Tamara vividly remembered that Jerome was the only assistant Sebastian had.Who was this woman?“Hello? Are you looking for Young Mr. Lynch? He’s taking a shower. If you have anything urgent, you can let me know, and I’ll pass it on to him,” the gentle voice continued. Tamara found the voice familiar.Tamara panicked and hung up. She shut her eyes.Taking a shower…There was a woman in Sebastian’s room.How could this be?Tamara instinctively shook the thought away when she had it. Despite her denial, a wave of sadness washed over her.It didn’t matter if she denied it.There was indeed a woman in Sebastian’s room. She even answered his phone for him while he showered.It was still early.Why was he taking a shower?Tamara didn’t want to think about it. She hastily went down the stairs. She stumbled forward after missing a ste
Tamara’s heart skipped a beat when she heard his voice. She anxiously hung up the phone and texted Sebastian: “Where are you?”Sebastian replied: “On my way home. Did you call earlier?”Tamara replied: “Eugenia answered. Why was she in your room?”Tamara cut right to the chase. She was eager to get to the bottom of this.Sebastian answered: “I’ll tell you when I get home.”Tamara stared at his reply before she put away her phone.The weird feeling inside her faded.She was relieved when Sebastian agreed to explain everything to her.The soup’s aroma beckoned for Tamara’s attention, and she happily complied.After 20 minutes, Sebastian arrived home.A servant helped change him out of his work shoes. Sebastian saw Tamara on the couch.Tamara was dressed in a yellow dress and was playing with a teddy bear. Her braided hair fell across her shoulders, and a smile accompanied her usual gentle expression as she conversed with Ms. Thompson.Sebastian took off his tie. He swallowed
Wait a minute…Didn’t Sebastian say he had had his dinner when Ms. Thompson had asked earlier?Tamara’s eyes narrowed, and she headed for the dining hall.Sebastian was having his dinner. When he saw Tamara, he smiled cheekily. “What’s this? It had only been a minute, and you already missed me?”Tamara flushed. “Didn’t you say you had your dinner?”Sebastian stared intensely at Tamara. “I have every reason to suspect Young Mrs. Lynch is here because she missed me. I was lying to Ms. Thompson. Did you believe it? Or maybe, you were just using this as an excuse to look for me?”Tamara rolled her eyes.She was done with the conversation.Tamara turned to leave the dining hall as Sebastian chuckled behind her.What was he laughing about?Tamara’s face flushed even more. She decided to go upstairs.Back in their room, her phone vibrated.It was a text from Anthony. “He won’t tell, miss.”Tamara raised an eyebrow. He didn’t break despite her scented tea leaves?The people they
Sebastian watched as Tamara left. Defeat flashed across his eyes before he took out his phone to make a call.“Hello? Seb? What’s up?” came Benjamin’s voice.“I heard the competition at ST Club is nearing, and you couldn’t make it,” stated Sebastian.Benjamin paused. “I never said that…”“I understand you’re busy,” Sebastian continued, “So I decided to put off any task I had that day and go in your stead.”Benjamin was confused beyond words.What the fuck?“Wait a minute, Seb. Go in my stead? Didn’t I just say I have nothing going on that day?” Ever since Sebastian married, Benjamin could never get a read on him.Wait. Married…Benjamin’s eyes became as wide as saucers. “Sebastian, don’t tell me you are coming up with this ridiculous excuse just to see your wife’s game.”Sebastian snorted, “It seems your brain is lagging because of your relationship. I suggest you get married soon.”He hung up right after.Benjamin’s jaw dropped.That was a low blow.…Tamara went straig
Tamara and Margot turned around and saw Eugenia walking in with another girl.The mocking words came from none other than the girl.“Where the fuck did you come from? Did you learn anything in school? Who gave you the right to spew bullshit everywhere you go?” snapped Margot. She didn’t care who the girl was.The girl’s face fell. “What? Everyone knows she’s mute. Can’t a girl tell the truth?”“I agree. Everyone knows you’re a bitch! Can’t a girl tell the truth?” mocked Margot.The girl stamped her feet in anger. She almost lost control and hit Margot.Tamara smiled. Margot was a fighter through and through.But why did the girl look familiar?A memory sprung up. Tamara remembered. This girl followed Rowena everywhere. If her memory served her right, the girl was called Elina Grand, and she came from a family of upstarts. She was always complimenting Rowena. Since Rowena disappeared, she seemed to have leeched onto someone else.Elina glared harshly at Tamara. “What the fuck a
Tamara couldn’t help but laugh as she entered the fitting room.Elina piped up, “Goddess? Have you looked in the mirror recently? She can’t even talk. Goddess my ass!”Margot rolled her eyes at her. “Was one slap not enough? Who told you a goddess is defined by her voice? Can’t she just be pretty? You seemed reluctant to admit how pretty Tammy is. Are you jealous?”Eugenia nearly exploded in rage. She laughed mockingly as a thought passed through her mind. “You’re right. She’s pretty. How else could she become Young Mrs. Lynch? What a touching tale of rags to riches.”Margot spared a look at Eugenia. “Have you ever tried teaching your dog anything? The Simmons family was once one of Londsville’s wealthy families. At least, they were far better off than some upstart family.”Elina gasped.Margot was not one to hold back.Eugenia smiled gently. “It is as you say. The Simmons family is a thing of the past.”“That’s right!” agreed Elina. She smiled triumphantly at Margot.Margot t
