Susan stood outside the sleek, glass building, her heart racing as she watched the world bustle around her. 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. Once on the correct floor, she found herself st
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
As Kate and Sebastian stepped into their home after the conference, a sense of relief washed over them. The buzz of the event faded, leaving a comfortable silence in its wake.“You were incredible today,” Sebastian said, his voice warm and genuine. 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
Kate walked into the familiar café, the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloping her like a warm hug. After her visits to the hospital, she was ready for some lighthearted conversation with her friend Jasmine.The moment Jasmine spotted her, her face broke into a wide grin. “Kate! You made it! 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. A rush of adrenaline coursed through her as she waited, anxious
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
The sun streamed through the large windows of James's office, casting a warm glow on the meticulously organized space. Despite the outward calm, James felt the weight of the recent confrontation heavy on his shoulders. He leaned back in his chair, staring at the wall of accolades and awards that adorned his office, reminders of past successes. But today, the thrill of victory felt distant.His phone buzzed on the desk, interrupting his thoughts. It was Maria. “Can we meet? 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. What’s on your mind?” James asked, leaning forward, curious about her concerns.Maria sighed, running a hand through her hair. “I’m worried about the divisions forming within the company. Not just between you and Sebastian, but among
The boardroom buzzed with a mixture of excitement and tension as the vote was announced. James stood at the head of the table, a newfound sense of authority emanating from him, while Sebastian sat across from him, visibly shaken but determined to regain control.As the board members congratulated James, he raised his hand to silence the chatter. “Thank you all for your support. 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. It’s about steering this company in a new direction, one that recognizes the realities we’re facing. You’ve had your chance.”Sebastian stood, his voice ri
In a dimly lit, upscale restaurant, James had arranged for a private dining room to host a select group of influential employees and board members. The atmosphere was intimate, filled with the soft clinking of glasses and low conversations, as he prepared to solidify his coalition.As the attendees began to arrive, James greeted each one warmly, his demeanor exuding confidence and charm. Maria and Eric were among the first to join, their expressions a mix of anticipation and nervousness.“Thank you for coming,” James said, ushering them to their seats at the long table. “Tonight, we’re not just having dinner; we’re laying the groundwork for a new vision for the company.”Once everyone was seated, James raised his glass. “To new beginnings and bold changes.” The group echoed his sentiment, glasses clinking as the conversation began to flow.As the meal progressed, James guided the discussion toward the company’s recent struggles. He adeptly shifted the focus to Sebastian’s shortcomings
The bustling atmosphere of the office buzzed with energy as employees hurried between meetings and deadlines. 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. He’s fumbling the numbers, and the board is not pleased.”“Unfortunate,” James replied, a calculated tone in his voice. “But maybe it’s a wake-up call. We need a strong leader to navigate these turbulent waters
Sebastian sat at the head of the long conference table, a slideshow of potential investment strategies projected behind him. He was in the zone, speaking confidently about the future of the family company when his phone buzzed insistently on the table. Frowning, he glanced at the screen: the hospital. His heart dropped.“Excuse me for a moment,” he said, abruptly stepping out of the conference room. He answered the call, anxiety twisting in his stomach as the nurse's voice rushed through the line. “Mr. Willows, I’m afraid your father is experiencing a critical episode. You should come to the hospital immediately.”Without a second thought, Sebastian ended the call and sprinted down the hallway, his mind racing. The meeting faded into the background, the buzz of potential investors replaced by the dread of losing his father.When he arrived at the hospital, he found the air heavy with the scent of antiseptic. He hurried to his father’s room, pushing the door open to find him gasping
The morning sun streamed through the curtains, illuminating the living room in a warm glow. Kate stirred awake, a smile tugging at her lips as memories of the previous night flooded back. Sex with Sebastian had changed everything, and she felt a mix of excitement and nervous anticipation as she lay in bed, contemplating what lay ahead.As she finally rolled out of bed, she caught sight of her reflection in the mirror…..evidence of their escapades on her nipples. There was a lightness in her step that hadn’t been there before, a sense of hope blooming within her. She quickly dressed and made her way to the kitchen, where the aroma of coffee filled the air.Sebastian was already up, leaning against the counter with a mug in hand. He looked relaxed, his hair slightly tousled, and his eyes brightened when he saw her. “Good morning, sleepyhead,” he said, his voice warm and inviting.“Good morning,” she replied, pouring herself a cup of coffee. “I hope I didn’t keep you up too late.”He chu
pThe sun peeked through the clouds as Kate went home, her mind racing with the conversation she had just had with sleepine. The weight of her secret had been lifted, but new anxieties bubbled to the surface. She was developing feelings for Sebastian, and that realization felt both exhilarating and terrifying.As she pulled into the driveway, she caught a glimpse of Sebastian’s car parked outside. Her heart quickened at the thought of seeing him. Would he feel the same way she did? Would he be receptive to her feelings, or would he shut her down?Stepping inside, she found Sebastian in the living room, flipping through paperwork. His brows furrowed in concentration, and for a moment, she simply admired him—his strong jawline, the way he focused so intently on his tasks. But then, he looked up, and their eyes met.“Hey, you’re back early,” he said, a hint of a smile softening his features.“Yeah, I had some things to take care of,” she replied, trying to keep her voice steady. “How was
Sebastian pushed open the door to Jay’s office, the familiar scent of fresh coffee wafting through the air. His best friend looked up from his desk, a surprised smile spreading across his face.“Seb! What’s up?” Jay greeted, leaning back in his chair. “You look like you’ve got a lot on your mind.”“Yeah, I do,” Sebastian admitted, running a hand through his hair. He stepped further into the room and closed the door behind him, wanting a private conversation. “I need to talk about Kate.”Jay’s interest piqued instantly. “Your wife? What’s going on?”Sebastian took a deep breath, trying to articulate the swirl of emotions that had taken hold of him. “I think… I think I’m starting to fall for her.”Jay’s eyebrows shot up. “Seriously? 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
The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over Los Angeles as Sebastian’s ex, Susan, leaned against the bar at a trendy downtown lounge. She sipped her drink, her mind racing with thoughts of Kate and Sebastian’s unexpected marriage. Feeling angry, she was determined to take action.“Are you waiting for someone?” a smooth voice interrupted her thoughts. She looked up to see Rodriguez, the persistent marketer who had shown interest in Kate.“Susan,” she introduced herself, her tone cool but curious. “And you are?”“Rodriguez,” he replied, extending a hand. “I’ve seen you around. I know you’re Sebastian’s ex. You’re not thrilled about his new marriage, are you?”“Not exactly,” Susan said, arching an eyebrow. “He didn’t want to talk to me at all after the marriage”Rodriguez leaned in closer, intrigued. “It seems like you’re not the only one feeling left out. I’m interested in Kate, too. Maybe we have some common goals.”A flicker of interest sparked in Susan’s eyes. “What ar
