Tera didn't know what positive things were in this place. The loud music, the room filled with a sea of people dancing, the booming music, the mix of sweat and various perfumes wafting through the air, and to make it worse, the room was dimly lit with many flashing disco lights.Tera felt dizzy within a minute of entering the room. She held her husband's hand tightly, feeling extremely nervous amidst the bustling crowd. Everything felt so foreign to her. Tera had been to places like Ethan and Raymond 's establishments before, but she had always been ushered directly into the VVIP room through a special entrance. However, this time, Sebastian led Tera to the dance floor, joining the other partygoers."Seb, I'm dizzy!" Tera shouted. Her voice barely cut through the booming music."Hold on, you just need to get used to it so you won't feel dizzy anymore. Come on, hug me!"Sebastian pulled Tera's hands around his neck, while his hands wrapped around her waist, with his palms resting perfe
"Seb, it's heavy," Tera groaned, pushing her husband's shoulders away.She moved to the side of the private room's sofa, which was intentionally dimmed by Jonathan Lim. Tera sighed heavily, unable to contain the pain and fatigue that overwhelmed her."That's enough," Tera whispered as Sebastian tried to pull her into his embrace. She moved even faster to free herself from Sebastian's relentless grip."Just a hug, nothing more.""Enough. I need some space to breathe.""Space to breathe? Does being in my arms make you unable to breathe?" Sebastian asked, irritated."Struggle, Seb, you know what I mean? I can breathe, but it's heavy. Would you let me go for now? I need to breathe easily!"Sebastian pulled Tera's face toward him, kissed her very slowly, "If I said no, would you force me?""Do you want to keep crushing and burdening me with your body?" Tera exclaimed incredulously.Sebastian's face retreated slightly, intentionally creating a small gap so that he could look into his wife's
Sebastian felt like the most miserable husband on Earth once again. He stood there, watching his wife busily feed the child he adored the most. Tera seemed to act as if he didn't exist, ignoring him completely, and she didn't even want to glance his way. For the past week, Sebastian had become an invisible man, unnoticed by Tera.Every time he got close, Tera's body language shifted into defensive mode. Worse, she moved away and maintained her distance. Tera was truly frustrating.She didn't want to talk to him about anything other than their children or extremely crucial matters. Every time Sebastian tried to bring up the night at the nightclub, Tera remained silent and walked away. She was unwilling to discuss it with him.Sebastian was ready to apologize, ready to do whatever it took to make Tera stop ignoring him. He'd even kneel and beg at her feet as long as she would return their intimacy in the bedroom. Anything! Yes, anything!Today, Sebastian felt especially anxious. It had
Sebastian's hand wrapped tightly around Tera's waist as he guided her into the grand ballroom of the extravagant Eiger Tech party. This exclusive event was attended by various important guests and Eiger Tech employees celebrating their successes. As one of the shareholders in Eiger Tech and due to the numerous collaborations between Eiger Tech and the Trust Group, Sebastian had no choice but to attend, despite his strong desire to stay in his room and have Tera all to himself for the night.Sebastian didn't display a smile like the other guests, but the gleam in his eyes and his relaxed body language indicated to everyone that he was in a good mood. Various business associates took turns greeting Sebastian Lim, either to check in or discuss work, and Sebastian responded cordially. There was no hint of boredom or disdain; Sebastian always maintained a controlled composure no matter whom he faced, without betraying his perpetually stern and intimidating demeanor."This is..." a business
Sebastian watched Tera walk away with a defeated look in his eyes. His once sturdy shoulders sagged, and a tired sigh escaped his lips.Mr. Harvey, the prominent figure in the room, hadn't expected Tera to be so furious due to his own foolishness. All he had intended was to introduce Tera as Thomas Vic's daughter because Mr. Harvey was acquainted with Thomas Vic, and the location of the Masson Corp vineyard was close to Mr. Harvey's hometown. It was only that, nothing more. There was no intention like what Tera had just voiced.But who wants to be deceived?Tera was no fool, and Sebastian was not a naive or dishonest man. They knew each other well. Tera could read every nuance and wish of her former boss, now her husband. They knew each other so intimately, and it was unlikely that they didn't understand each other.In reality, Sebastian did want to improve Tera and Tora's quality of life. He didn't want Tera burdened by debts, and he didn't want Tora to face difficulties. Sebastian w
Tera felt a pair of eyes observing her from a distance. She followed her instincts by glancing at the entrance, and that's when she spotted Sebastian standing in silence, scrutinizing her. Sebastian hadn't moved an inch from the doorway, but the intensity of his gaze surpassed the swiftness of his feet. He had a fierce, menacing, and intimidating expression. No one dared to approach Sebastian when he wore such a look. Even Wilson chose to keep his distance.Tera knew that Sebastian despised, even loathed, her being close to another man, especially if that man was Ramon . Sebastian wouldn't hesitate to lash out at Ramon and Tera simultaneously. However, tonight Tera simply didn't want to care. She didn't care if Sebastian wanted to go on a rampage or anything else; she had no intention of dealing with it.Mrs. Lim ignored her husband and turned her gaze back to Ramon with curiosity. The man was telling a funny story that eased the tense atmosphere between them, after Sebastian's earl
"No! Don't do it! Stop!" Tera growled, pushing Sebastian's shoulders away. She used all her strength to create a safe distance between her and Sebastian. However, Sebastian seemed to be completely indifferent to their location. In the backseat of a moving car, he pressed Tera down, pinning her beneath him. He devoured Tera's lips hungrily, sucking without restraint, nearly depriving them of their oxygen supply that night."You are mine, Tera! MINE!" Sebastian roared right in front of Tera's mouth. He glared at her with such anger that Tera shrank beneath him.Sebastian silenced Tera with another fierce kiss. He channeled all his emotions through their physical connection. Sebastian claimed Tera's mouth without mercy, and his hands started exploring the surface of the beautiful dress Tera was wearing. Sebastian didn't care about the dress; he only cared about his uncontrollable desires. He wanted to mark himself as the master of Tera's body."Take us to the nearest beach!" Sebastian co
"Enough," Sebastian mumbled.He unzipped his pants and quickly straightened himself before exiting the black sedan, slamming the door with a loud thud, startling Tera.Tera followed him, but to her surprise, Sebastian didn't go anywhere. Instead, he walked to the front of the car and sat at the car's hood. Tera's view was dominated by Sebastian's tense back, a sight that left her feeling tired. Their conversations never led to any solutions and always ended with silence, leaving all their problems unresolved.Sebastian didn't want to release Tera from his grasp, while Tera always insisted on parting ways with him. It was always like that.Tera adjusted her party dress, which had slipped down from her chest, trying to restore her appearance that had been disheveled by her husband's roughness. She knew the night was still long, and there would be plenty of opportunities for new arguments with her husband. They only truly stopped when they exhausted themselves with repeated passion. That
