Sebastian’s POV
I was very happy when I received a message from Maria stating that we should prepare for our first meeting with the wedding planner but the joy sooon dampened because she started giving one excuse or another. It has been a week and I still haven’t gotten a reply from her regarding that nor has she even talked to me properly instead she was going around town with Pierre Laurent, all in the name of a work contract. I had no reason to doubt that it was work. I believed Maria if she said that it was just work but I didn’t trust Pierre Laurent, and Maria just happened to be in the category of the type of women that Pierre likes. “Are you listening to me, Seb?” Ailene asked me for the third time. We were currently in her favorite restaurant having lunch but I couldn’t focus because my thoughts were on Maria. Shit! She was about to make me go crazy. &ld

Realizations And Unexpected Visits Ailene’s POV After lunch with Sebastian, I started thinking of a way to reach out to Maria. I didn’t want to talk to her through a call or even text because she would have her guards up by the mere mention of my name and push me to an unknown place in her mind where nothing matters. I had seen her do that numerous times. I was glad that Sebastian and I had the conversation about Maria, Svetlana, my father and all that was going on. It opened my eyes vividly to the fact that I was acting selfish and throwing tantrums when I should be helping my big brother. I knew that he was going through a lot already, because of what our father did to our mother and our mosther’s dissapearance because of that. He had been searching for our mom but to no avail. It was as if our mother did not want to be found. Another thing that opened my eyes to the fact that I was being unfair to Maria and my brother through my actions was the conversation I had with S

Dinner With The Devil..............Or Not! Maria’s POV “She requested what?” Helena shouted and looked at me with bulging eyes, I almost laughed at her expression. “Shhh, you will wake Nathan.” I replied softly pointing at Nathan who was lying across my things. We were having a movie time with Nathan after work so I waited for him to sleep before informing Helena about Ailene’s visit and her request. She looked at Nathan and placed her hand over her mouth then whispered. “That’s true. Sorry love.” “Hold on, I will put him to bed now.” I carried Nathan to his bed, and kissed him goodnight then smiled when he carried an expression in his sleep that I had seen on Sebastian’s face. He looked more like Sebastian as he grew bigger and very soon, I needed to gear myself up to tell Sebastian the truth about Nathan’s paternity. That was another reason why I was hesitant to go ahead with Nathan. I had already told him that Nathan was not his son when he asked, and even deprived

Thoughts And Musings Sebastian POV “You did what?!” Keith asked an looked at me as if I had grown another horn on my head. “What possessed you, man?” I just came back from Maria’s office after we had sex and Keith saw her lipstick stain on my shirt so I had to tell him what happened because of Pierre. “I honestly do not know. I only know that the thought of Maria and Pierre Laurent together was almost making me go mad so I had to do something about it.” “And the something you did was to go to her office where you know that she would be with said man?” “I didn’t think about that part. I just wanted to see her.” “So what happened after you saw her with Pierre?” Keith asked, looking at me incredulously. “I became upset and spoke to her from an angry place but Maria shut it down immediately. Infact, her next action shut me up completely and next think I know was that we were doing it in her office.” “That’s wild!” “I know man!” I had the decency to blush. “But enough a

Blood Relation Maria's POV I clapped my hands and laughed at Nathan's imitation of an eagle. “Alright, you go! Nate!” We were having a mother-son moment and Nathan was showing me the actions of different animals as he had seen on television. Sometimes, I can't get over my surprise that a kid his age only watched documentaries about animals and cars. It's all he wanted to watch. “The sea-horse is next.” He announced excitedly and crouched down on one knee. I leaned forward and started cheering him, chanting his name, with a huge smile on my face. I loved bonding moments with my son because I felt closer to him when we did it. I'd know him and connect with him more. Overall, the blissful moments took me away from the corporate and emotional chaos that was my life. Speaking of emotional chaos, I had been subtly avoiding Sebastian after having sex with him in my office. Man! That moment with him was so mind-blowing, I still couldn't explain what exactly happened or what

True Intentions Maria's POV After Ailene visited, I decided to look into the information she gave about Pierre Laurent. I liked him when we initially met, even had increased heartbeats from time to time when he stared at me as a woman would stare at a woman he wanted in between his sheets. But amidst his jokes and caring nature, I felt like there was something off about him. It was as if a dangerous predator was waiting for an opportunity to strike. He would always say things like. “Can we finish this in my penthouse?” “Would you like to accompany me to the New elite hotel in town? Just to check out the rooms, I am looking for an alternative for when my apartment becomes too still.” One night, we were in my office tying up loose ends in our work document before moving to the final stage of the deal. It was a lot of work and I had been driving the team non-stop so I decided that they should all go home to rest and I will finish up by myself. Pierre insisted that he wo

Maria’s Safe Space Sebastian's PoV Instead of taking Maria to a hotel, I took her to my penthouse. I wanted to be certain and sure that she was safe and comfortable enough to catch some sleep. She took shaky breaths as we entered the luxurious space of the penthouse and as I watched her, my arms folded into fist. The media would carry this news so I had Ailene to start working with PR from tonight. I didn't want to take any chances. “Do you want to maybe take a shower or something before you go to bed? It may calm you down. I can wait till you are in bed before I go.” “Did you speak with Helena?” She asked me softly and my heart broke for her. I had never seen her like this. She was like a scared little child. “Yes I did. She was mad as hell but I calmed her down. She put Nathan to bed and was checking out the documents last time I spoke to her. Ailene is working on PR to control the media already.” “You're a kind man.” She replied and squeezed my hand. I got her in

Breakfast And Strategies Maria's POV “Helena, Is it very bad? What you found out about the business deal?” I heard Sebastian ask then he sighed and pushed his palm down his face after listening to Helena for a while. What is going on? I know Sebastian infomed me last night that Helena was helping out with the document. What did she find out? “What's going on, Sebastian?” I decided to ask him so I would have an idea of what's going on before Helena arrived. “Hi” He replied softly moving towards me then he said. “I want to hug you.” I noticed that he had changed from the corporate outfit he wore last night to sweatpants and tee shirt. I loved the look. I stretched my hands and wrapped my hands around his neck then he bent downwards and wrapped his hands around my waist. We stayed in that position for a while and I soaked in his warmth and the safety he represented. “Helena has taken Nathan to school. She is on her way here.” He informed me softly while still in my a

Shocking News Maria's PoV My body had been feeling funny for a while but I thought that it was probably stress. It was weeks after we came back from the conference in Paris and when I came back, I had more work to do because my company was in the scaling phase. Two days ago, Aiva invited Helena, Nathan and I to breakfast at Ailene's penthouse. It was a beautiful time but I became sick again when I got home. Helena suggested that I go to the hospital and see a doctor but I refused because I already suspected why I was feeling sick. After we left the house in the morning, I dropped Nathan off at school, visited the nearest pharmacy to pick up the equipment that would confirm or refute my suspicions. After that, I texted Helena to come straight to my office because I had something important to show her. I waited for Helena to come to my office before taking an

Girl Time Aiva's POV I smiled when I heard Maria's hearty laugh as she listened to Ailene's joke. Helena was at the other end fixing Nathan's buttons which had come off while he was playing around with the huge toy car that Sebastian had bought for him while he stayed here with Ailene and I. Upon my request, they had visited a few days after they returned from the conference that took place in Paris. “Here you go. Breakfast is ready, everyone.” I dropped the full jug of juice on the table that was already filled with a variety of food and wine. I also instructed the maid to take Nathan to the smaller table nearby and feed him because I was certain that me and the girls may have adult conversations. “Mom, I told you that Maria also saw the man with the huge jacket. He gave everyone a good laugh during the conference.” Ailene turned towards me with laug

HelVINI Helena's POV I couldn't get over the excitement and joy when Maria was given an award after her speaking session. When she got to her seat, she texted me to meet her in the bathroom and while there she cried until she was too tired to, then I reworked her makeup. By the time the conference was over, she was exhausted and wanted only her bed. Ailene bought her food and escorted her to the penthouse. “Helena Montoya, I look at you and Maria Bellucci and I can't help but see two very phenomenal women charting paths in their various fields.” Vini had nothing but praises for me and Maria when we settled down for dinner after the conference. “Thank you, Vini.” I gave the wickedly handsome man a bright smile. “Where's Maria?” Vincenzo asked, looking up from his phone for the first time since we sat at the table “Maria was a little tired after the conference so she called it a night early.” “And we all leave Paris tomorrow morning.” “Yeah. We leave first thing in

Flowery Moments Maria's POV My heart banged wildly as I rushed back to my penthouse after exiting Sebastian's room thinking that I would turn around and see him coming after me. “How could you do that, Maria? Come on, how could you do that?” I repeated to myself over again as I walked back. My body still trembled from Sebastian's touch and longed for it but my brain was seriously beating my body for betraying us. How could I just jump into bed with him after months where he ignored me and didn't even care one bit? How could I just jump into his bed after the naughty tantrum-like behaviour he displayed when I was with Vicenzo? I opened the door to the penthouse and when I entered, moved straight to the bathroom. “Are you alright, Maria?” I turned to see Helena on the sofa and she looked as if she had been waiting up for me. “What's the time?” “It's five AM.” I sighed resignedly and slumped down on the sofa in front of Helena, then bit my lip to prevent from cryi

Burning With Jealousy Sebastian's PoV The endless meetings concerning the annual business conference were taking their toll as usual. I was moving from one meeting to the other with the top guns so I hadn't even had time to ask if Maria had arrived or if she was settled in the penthouse. I wanted to give her the best experience while she was in Paris, so I instructed my other pilot to bring her down to Paris with my other private jet and I also instructed the host that when they arrived they should only be given the best. The meeting I just came out from lasted for hours. Don't get me wrong, it was meetings such as that one that placed me on a higher pedestal than businessmen of my age but it was long and I was tired physically. When we came out of the boardroom, my physical exhaustion changed to anger and burning jealousy when I saw Maria with some other guy. The guy was pleased to see me and I didn't mean to be rude but I was burning too much with jealousy to even thi

The Annual Corporate Conference Maria's POV The journey to Paris was more enjoyable than the last time because I was not treated as a first time speaker but a seasoned writer. Helena and I were taken to Paris with a private jet and when we arrived, we were lodged in one of the best penthouses in one of Sebastian's highrise buildings. When we entered the penthouse, Helena whistled and turned to me. “At this point Maria, I doubt that all of this is because you are a speaker. You were a speaker last year and we didn't get all of these.” I folded my arms and then raised my brow “Really? Why do you think we were given this type of treatment then?” “Isn’t it obvious? Sebastian of course. We came in his private jet and now we are in one of the best apartments in his highrise buildings.” I chuckled and shook my head. “You of all people know that Sebastian doesn't give a damn about me so yes, he may be the owner but it could have been that the panel decided that it had to be that

The Armani Brothers Maria's POV I smiled as I laid sleeping Nathan on his bed. I thought about my day with him and I must say that I had a swell time with him at the new zoo downtown. We saw different types of animals, participated in fun activities and I allowed ice cream and had other snacks. The highlight for me was spending time with my son but at different times I felt like people were watching us. I looked over my shoulder at different times but didn't see anyone. “Goodnight, my love.” I pecked his cheek. He slept off immediately after he ate dinner and had his bath because he was exhausted after the long fun day he had. I stayed back in Nathan's room and watched him as he slept thinking about how he looked so much like his father. Speaking about his father, at one point while we were in the zoo, I felt that Sebastian was there and I even perceived his signature cologne but then the logical part of me reasoned that I must be missing him deeply to feel that way.

Catching A Glimpse Sebastian's PoV It was Saturday and since my mother started living with Ailene, I ensured to have breakfast with them every Saturday so that I could spend some time with them and catch up on how their week went. When I entered, I saw that breakfast was already set at Ailene's terrace. “Okay, darling. Enjoy your day and ensure to tell me all about it when you get back.” “Okay, Aiva.” I heard the sweet childish voice on the other end of the video call and knew that my mother was having facetime with Nathan. They had become so close, they always spent some time together. “Nathan says hello.” She informed Ailene after ending the call. “He is on his way to the new zoo downtown with Maria and is so excited about it.” “I can imagine how excited he is right now. His beautiful eyes would be aglow and his cheeks would be reddish with excitement.” Ailene replied with a fond smile on her face. As they talked about Maria and Nathan, I behaved as if I was not in

Building Trust Walls Keith's POV I sighed as I watched Sebastian speed off in his car. “Why are you torturing yourself this way?” I asked no one in particular. “You are obviously still in love with this woman and even if you don't say it, your body first of all pines after her.” “Is Sebastian okay?” I heard someone ask behind me and turned to see Helena. I gave her a small smile and said. “Just business discussions giving him some kind of heat.” She raised one elegant bro and folded her smooth hands. “Business discussions or the woman in the gold dress.” I sighed and smiled. “I forgot that you know me all too well. Okay fine. The woman.” “But he didn't say anything to her after the little hand wave he gave her. He only spent the rest of the night with his eyes glued on her. Maria could be pregnant right now from the amount of eye-fucking she received from Sebastian tonight.” When I heard her last sentence, I couldn't help myself so I bent forward and laughed hard.
