The news of Sebastian’s marriage to Kate had hit her like a cold wave, but a burning desire had ignited within her. She needed to see him, to remind him of what they once had—and of what he was now missing.Taking a deep breath, she pushed through the revolving doors, the sound of her heels clicking sharply against the polished floor echoing in the spacious lobby. Her mind raced with schemes, calculating how she could manipulate the situation in her favor.As she approached the elevator, she spotted Sebastian across the lobby, laughing with Kate, who looked radiant in a tailored suit. The sight of them together twisted something deep in her stomach. But Sebastian had always been vulnerable to her charm, and she couldn’t let his new life deter her.The elevator doors slid open, and she stepped inside, mind racing with possibilities.

After lunch, they went about the remaining day like nothing had happened at all….when they got back home, they both went to their various rooms without uttering a word to each other….Sebastian descended the stairs, the weight of the day pressing on his shoulders. As he entered the kitchen, the rich aroma of sautéed garlic and fresh herbs enveloped him. There, standing at the stove, was Kate, dressed in snug bum shorts and a cropped top, her hair casually pulled back. She moved with a fluid grace, the warm light catching the curve of her smile as she hummed softly to herself.His heart skipped a beat, but a flash of memory intruded—Susan, in a similar outfit, her laughter filling the kitchen as she prepared dinner with the same enthusiasm. The thought slipped away quickly, but not without leaving a shadow.“Hey,” he said, taking a seat on the island. He watched her for a moment, the way she stirred the pan, but his smile didn’t quite reach his eyes.“Surprise! Thought I’d cook tonight

Kate jolted awake, heart racing as the reality of the day sank in. The press conference loomed like a storm cloud over her, and she could practically hear the questions swirling in her head. Taking a deep breath, she glanced at the clock—there was no time to waste.She grabbed the sleek skincare product Sebastian had dropped in her room the day before, the promise of radiance mingling with her anxiety. As she applied it to her skin, she felt a momentary calm wash over her. It was just a press conference. Just a chance to stand beside her husband and show the world who they were as a couple.After a quick shower, she dressed in a tailored blazer, trying to channel confidence. The boutique—her boutique—was on her mind too. Today would be her first visit, and that excitement briefly overshadowed her nerves.Descending the stairs, she noticed the house was quiet. Sebastian must have left early. She grabbed her phone, expecting to see a message, and scoffed when she found a note: "Driv

He turned to her, admiration shining in his eyes. “Your composure was impressive. I knew you could handle it, but you surpassed my expectations.”Kate felt a rush of warmth flood her cheeks. “Thank you, Sebastian. I was so nervous at first, but your support helped me.”He took a step closer, his gaze unwavering. “You have this amazing spark in your eyes when you’re passionate. It’s mesmerizing.”Kate felt her heart flutter as she met his gaze, the sincerity in his words making her feel seen. “I appreciate that. It means a lot coming from you.”For a moment, they stood in silence, the weight of their new reality settling between them. Sebastian reached out, gently tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, his touch electric. “You

Sebastian opened his eyes slowly he checked the alarm by the bedside….the time was 5:20 am, and he was used to waking up early his body system already adapted to that particular time….he glanced towards Kate she was still sleeping peacefully her chest heaving upwards and downwards as she breathed…..he peered at her neck as it was littered with hickeys that he had given her yesterday night…he smirked removing her hands from his biceps he slowly stood up from the bed and took his shirt from the floor….and went to his room to prepare for work when he came downstairs and hour later he met her making breakfast.“Good morning….Sebastian…..I made breakfast” Kate said with a low voice as she blushed the way she said his name reminded him how she sounded the night before it sent chills down his cock“Sure….what did you make?” he asked “I just prepared oatmeal because I noticed you had more of it than any other cereals,” Kate said“Yeah… I love oatmeal my mom always made it for me e

I was beginning to think I’d have to send out a search party!” She bounced over, her excitement infectious.“Hey, Jaz! It’s been a day,” Kate replied, returning the smile. “I needed a break.”Jasmine raised an eyebrow playfully. “So, how does it feel to be Mrs. Willows? Are you already planning your royal wedding?”Kate laughed, shaking her head. “Oh please, it’s not like that! We’re just enjoying each other’s company.”“Right,” Jasmine teased, leaning in closer. “Tell me the real scoop—how’s the newlywed sex life? Spicy or just… mild?”Kate felt her cheeks heat up, and she quickly diverted her gaze to the menu. “Um, well, it’s… it’s nice! You know, we’re just… figuring thin

Susan sat on her bed, the dim light casting shadows on the walls, her thoughts swirling in a chaotic mix of longing and resentment. She stared at her phone, heart racing as she contemplated her next move. Sebastian had always been the one who got away, and now, watching him with Kate felt like a bitter pill to swallow.Scrolling through Kate’s Instagram, Susan’s frustration bubbled. Each photo of their seemingly perfect life felt like a dagger to her heart. It was time to take action. She took a deep breath and opened a new message.“Hey, Kate. I think we need to talk,” she typed, her fingers trembling slightly. “You should stay away from Sebastian. I know your marriage is fake.”She hesitated, staring at the words. Would this even work? But deep down, she felt a surge of determination. She hit send, her heart pounding as she imagined the chaos her message could cause.Moments later, she saw the “seen” notification.

The next morning, Kate arrived at the hospital, her heart heavy with worry for her mother. As she walked through the familiar halls, she noticed something felt different. There was an air of calm that hadn’t been there before. When she reached her mother’s usual room, her breath caught in her throat.“Mom?” she called out, but the room was empty. Panic surged through her as she turned to the nurse at the desk.“Excuse me, where’s my mother?” Kate asked, urgency lacing her voice.The nurse looked up with a gentle smile. “Oh, she’s been moved to the VIP ward. She’s getting the best care possible.”“VIP? Why?” Kate’s mind raced. Only Sebastian could have arranged something like this. She fished her phone from her pocket and dialed him, her heart pounding.“Hey, Kate,” Sebastian answered, his voice calm and steady.“Did you move my mom to the VIP ward?” she asked, trying to keep her tone even.“Of course,” he replied, a hint of pride in his voice. “As your husband, I want you and your fami

I think we need to discuss the fallout from the board meeting.”James glanced at the clock. “Of course. My office in twenty?”A short while later, Maria entered, her expression serious. “Thanks for seeing me on such short notice,” she said, taking a seat across from him.“Not a problem.

I appreciate your trust in my vision for the future of this company.”Sebastian’s expression darkened as he leaned forward, his voice steady despite the circumstances. “You may have the board’s support now, but I won’t let you take this company from me without a fight. My father built this legacy, and I intend to honor it, whether you like it or not.”James met Sebastian’s gaze, an icy resolve settling in. “It’s not about taking anything from you, Sebastian.

James walked through the open space with an air of casual confidence, but underneath, he was keenly observing, plotting his next move.He paused by the glass-walled conference room where Sebastian was leading a meeting. The younger man’s voice could be heard, but it lacked conviction, the words faltering as he faced tough questions from the board members.James noticed Maria and Eric just outside the room, exchanging worried glances. This was the moment he had been waiting for.“Everything alright?” James approached them casually, feigning concern. “I overheard a bit of the meeting. Looks like it’s getting tense in there.”Maria sighed. “Sebastian doesn’t seem prepared.

That’s a big deal, man. Has it happened since you got married?”“More like it’s been developing slowly,” Sebastian confessed, avoiding eye contact. “At first, I thought it was just a contract, but now I’m seeing a different side of her.”“Have you two… you k
