My Stone-Hearted Billionaire Husband   Chapter 135: Reunion Of The Century
Ever since he had heard about his First Loveâs arrival yesterday, Kourtney had barely seen or spent time with her husband. For the first time since she moved in with him, Sebastian had been absent in their bed when she got up.And even in her deep slumber, she knew she didnât feel his warm embrace or presence last night. She was more than certain he hadnât spent the night here.She could feel it in her bones!Just as she was about to lose herself in her spiraling thoughts, she opened the bedroom door and stepped out, only to be met by the sight of two of Sebastianâs bodyguards waiting just outside.âGood morning, Mrs. Woods,â one of them greeted with a polite nod.âUhmm⊠where is he?â The question slipped from her lips before she could stop it.âMr. Woods had something to do at the company, so he left first,â the other bodyguard replied, his expression unreadable.Kourtney felt her heart drop. âHe left me here again to go to the company?â she thought as anger bubbled inside her.She w

Grandpa Woodsâ commanding presence filled the room.âNot another word from any of you,â he scoffed, lifting his walking stick in the air. âYou minions should be ashamed of yourselves! Kourtney is family now, and I will not have you bullying my young granddaughter-in-law. You ought to be ashamed!âThe women fell silent, their expressions shifting from smug satisfaction to shock.Since when did Thomas Woods become such a softie?Since when did he become so protective of anyone, especially an outsider?It was as if the arrival of Kourtney to the Woods Estate had flipped a switch in him, and suddenly, he was like a mere shadow of his former self.They couldnât recognize the Old Man anymore.How did Kourtney manage to curry his favor in less than 3 days when they had known him for decades but couldn't?The way he fell enchanted with her in such a short time was still so hard to explain...No one saw it coming!Meanwhile, Kourtney's heart warmed at his defense, and she felt a small smile t

âShut up, Denise,â Grandma Florence finally snapped.The whole living room fell silent, all eyes turning to her.âMum, stop defending her!â Aunt Denise interjected, her tone accusatory. âSheâs the reason weâre in this mess! If she had just listenedâââEnough!â Grandma Florence barked again at her daughter. Her patience was wearing thin.Denise opened her mouth to argue again but was swiftly silenced by her motherâs voice booming through the room once more. âI said shut up. Kourtney is still family!âDenise was very pained.This wasnât the reaction she had been expecting from her mother after seeing the news.Why wasnât everyone in the family celebrating Kourtneyâs downfall like she was?âYouâyou canât be serious, Mum. Kourtney thought she had arrived with that sudden marriage and started treating us like nothing. This is the perfect opportunity to cut her off. Give her a taste of her own medicine!âFlorence shot her daughter a glare sharp enough to silence her. âThis is not the time f

After about an hour in Lilianâs apartment, the tears slowly subsided. Kourtney pulled back, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand.âI didnât mean to bother you this much,â she said, her voice shaky.Lilian eyed her as if she just said something so annoying and offensive. âShut up, Girl. You know Iâm always here for you.ââThank you, Lil,â Kourtney replied, biting her lip to hold back fresh tears.âYou know, Kourt. Itâs a shame! Isnât it? I didnât even get to enjoy being the best friend of a Billionaireâs wife before it all fell apart. We didnât get to use his private jet to go see the penguins in Antarctica!â Lilian exclaimed, her voice dripping with sarcasm as she tried to lighten the atmosphere. âOh, come on! Youâre telling me we never got to step foot on his luxury yacht, sitting pretty in the Melbourne harbor? What a waste!ââPffffftâŠ.â Kourtney couldnât help but burst into laughter at the absurdity of it all.As usual, Lilian always found a way to make her laugh, even during

Sebastian packed his Rolls Royce Phantom outside Lilianâs house with a loud noise, the engine growling like a beast ready to pounce.The carâs polished exterior gleamed under the afternoon sun, announcing his presence to the entire neighborhood of Flinders Lane.Funny how this was the exact same car heâd been in the day he met Kourtney, the day their lives had collided in the most unexpected way.He couldn't help but chuckle at the coincidence.He could hardly remember the details of that day, but the image of Kourtney standing there, flustered and adorable, was burned into his memory for life.The thought made him smile. But it was quickly overshadowed by the tension building in his chest.Sitting in the driverâs seat, he took a moment to compose himself.Damn!When did he become this nervous about talking to anyone?He had faced board meetings, negotiations, and high-stakes deals without batting an eye. Yet here he was, feeling like a teenager about to confess his feelings for his c

âYou expect me to believe that? You two were spotted hugging. You spent the night with her! You marked her! Iâm not fucking stupid!âSebastian let out a long, exasperated sigh.He was starting to feel a strong headache.âI donât know how she came up with those. But I never touched that woman!â He said, referring to the marks captured on Scarletâs neck and shoulders.âI canât listen to this anymore!â Kourtney knew she was about to lose it.Sebastianâs excuses were making zero sense!How could the marks appear out of nowhere if he hadnât made them?She took a step back, desperate to shut the door back in his face. But Sebastian was alert.âI came back home last night. I did not spend the night with her!â He said, holding her in place.âLet go of me. Youâre a disgusting Liar! Let go of me now!â Kourtney yelled at him as unshed tears threatened to start spilling from her eyes.She couldnât believe the man was trying to gaslight her, trying to make her question her own sanity.She knew he

Sebastian kissed her fiercely, pouring all his frustration, desperation, and anger into that single moment.His lips moved aggressively while his tongue invaded her mouth, sending ripples of pleasure all over his body.He felt her tears against his skin and pulled back just enough to plant soft kisses on her cheeks, on her tears, as if he could erase her pain with his lips.âYouâre my everything,â he said between kisses. âI canât lose you.âHis words only incited more tears from Kourtneyâs eyes. âSebastian, pleaseâŠâOnce again, he lowered his head to kiss her.He tasted her tears, kissed her cheeks, and pressed his forehead against hers, trying to soothe the storm of doubt raging in her heart.He may not be able to tell her this every day, but he really wanted her to know that she meant the world to him. The day they collided.... the day she stepped into his life, she changed it into something so beautiful and meaningful.âHoney, Youâre the only one I want!â He murmured into her ears

Kourtney turned to the man. She saw the look in his eyes, the shift in his temperament.And most importantly, the newfound huskiness of his voice.She didnât need a prophet to tell her what it meant.âOkayyy!â she replied, shocked at her smooth and sailing willingness.As they entered his private cabin, Sebastian turned to her with eyes burning with desire.âCome here,â He grunts, picking her up quickly in bridal style.Goodness! This man!He wasted no time at all!âHe couldnât even beat around the bush for a short while,â Kourtney laughed inwardly.She squealed and wrapped her arms and legs around him, then he placed her gently on a big-sized couch in the corner.There was no bed here!But they would make do with what they had.Like an animal in heat, Sebastian held her close as his lips immediately crashed down on hers.Kourtney happily kissed him back.There was not a single ounce of doubt left in her heart.Her husband had begged her to trust him, and she did, giving him complete

Scarlet knew that getting a little revenge would at least make her feel so much better about herself tonight.While she stood, brainstorming ideas of what to do, the live performance ended.âGive it up for BTS!â the host announced as all seven members left the stage in high spirits.It was a spectacular ten-minute medley of their top hits across the span of their decade-long career. The crowd erupted into thunderous applause, still buzzing from the electrifying performance that had turned the evening into an unforgettable spectacle.The crowd of people that had gathered including Kourtney and Lilian, started going back to their various seats. Everyone was chatting so excitedly.âDid you see that choreography?â one woman exclaimed, her eyes shining with awe.âRight? I thought I was going to faint!â her friend replied, clutching her purse as if it were a lifebuoy.It was one hell of a show!The performance was finally over, and it was time to move on to another part of the program.âNow

His eyes drifted across the crowd, scanning for something familiar.Then he saw herâKourtney.It was effortless to spot her amid the crowd; her vibrant green dress had been so eye-catching all night.Of course, she was going to be there at the forefront enjoying this nonsense!In fact, it was like she was at the center of it all.Soon enough, he was capturing every move she made, unable to tear his eyes away as she danced with her friend. It was almost as if they had previously mastered the moves as they imitated the backup dancers on stage.Hilarious!But the more Kourtney glowed with undeniable joy, the more Sebastianâs irritation melted away, replaced by something warmer as he felt a strange tug in his chest.Just seeing his wife so happy lifted the weight off his shoulders, as if he were dancing along with her.And to his surprise, he found himself swaying slightly in rhythm to the music. Unconsciously, he began to nod his head, tapping his foot against the polished floor.Just wa
My Stone-Hearted Billionaire Husband   Chapter 174: Her Stress Reliever
Lilian hated this.She didn't want Kourtney to wake up one day and realize you wasted years waiting for a man who only wanted you in the shadows.She wasnât just Kourtney anymore; she was Kourtney Woods, the wife of the most powerful man in Melbourne. And she needs to shine beside him.âLook, Kourt, I care about you, and it worries me. You have every right to be out there, sitting by his side and drawing the kind of respect that comes with being his wife. Youâre not just some side project; you deserve to shine, to be the most important person in his life.âKourtney bit her lip, filled with the combination of sorrow and a will to believe in Sebastian. âBut⊠But he introduced me to his family. Doesnât that mean anything?ââMaybe,â Lilian said, softening a bit. âBut you need to have a talk with him. Make him realize that hiding you isnât an option. Youâre not a secret; Girl, youâre his wife! And I swear to God, if you let this man keep treating you like some *hidden secret*, I will perso
My Stone-Hearted Billionaire Husband   Chapter 173: Typical Sebastian
When Kourtney received the text right after stepping out of the ladies' bathroom, she frowned.She had just had the most insane confrontation with his ex-girlfriend, who threatened to throw her out of her âownâ event. The situation had left her rattled, and right now, she wasnât in a good mood.Once again, she ignored the manâs message and tucked her phone into her purse.âTypical Sebastian,â she muttered under her breath, feeling that simmering frustration become something deeper.Why couldnât he understand that this wasnât just a simple event for her?She was nervous as hell, wishing everything would go smoothly.Her whole career was at stake here!Nothing must go wrong, and she was supposed to make sure of it.However, the fact that she was living a double life right here made things so difficult.First, she was bullied by Sheila and her friends, now, she had run into Scarlet.

âI should just rip this off of you! You donât deserve it! Who the hell do you think you are?â Scarlet spat, her demeanor feral, like a wild animal cornered and desperate.âJust a woman who refuses to blend into the background while you prance around like you're the queen of the world.âShocked gasps echoed through the room. The vibe in the restroom had shifted in Kourtneyâs favor.A handful of other women had already gathered around the two like bees. Some had their phones secretly pulled out and recorded the altercation as it unfolded.A supposed world-famous model and idol was behaving wildly and harassing a lady over a dressâit was surely going to make good headlines for the press.Scarlet barely even noticed they were being taped, too consumed by the red haze of jealousy and rage that clouded her judgment. âLook at you, acting like you own this place!â she shouted, her face flushed with indignation.Kourtney, standing her ground, firmly replied, âI am owning it!âScarlet noticed t

Scarlet Thompson glided towards the lavish ladies' restroom with a heavy heart.She felt dejected, each step heavier than the last.She was more than just a blonde bombshell; she was the queen of this realm. But at this moment, she felt stripped of her crown.Despite being known for turning heads wherever she went, tonight, she felt utterly invisibleHer heart sank as she recalled how, for the whole evening, Sebastian hadnât even bothered to look her way.The man didnât pay attention to anyone but himselfâŠ.He sat at his solo table, effortlessly charming, with the air of a king who couldnât be bothered to glance at her for a second while she remained an invisible shadow just a few meters away at her familyâs table.Absolutely devastating!The sting in her chest twisted harder each time she glanced his way.It pained her so much that the man didnât seem to give a fuck about her. It hurt her ego so much.How could he not even acknowledge her?âJust breathe,â she murmured, leaning her we

âHonestly, Sheila? I just thought Iâd wear something nice for the gala. Not everyone needs approval to feel good about themselves,â she shot back, attempting to keep her voice steady.âPlease! Whoâs going to notice you? He didn't even bother to acknowledge your existence. Youâd think heâd at least do something with all that effort you put into your look,â Sheila leaned in to mock into Kourtney's ears, trying not to raise more suspicion from her friends.Kourtneyâs heart sank deeper at Sheila's words, the sting of the truth cutting through the âunbothered girlâ facade she tried so hard to project. Why was she subjected to this? Incensed, she retorted, âYouâre just bitter because you canât stand that Iâm comfortable in my own skin. I'm not insecure about my looks like others!â Sheilaâs expression darkened, the jealousy boiling into new heights. While she and her friends walked around in overpriced outfits that felt too much, Kourtney had simply shone without even trying. That though

Her husband was the elusive ghost of the evening.Although everyone expected him to materialize at some point.âŠâŠThe event proper began and the evening was shaping up smoothly.

The entire Woods household was present down to their head servant, Madame Collins.âThese people were indeed weird,â Kourtney thought.It was like they turned the red carpet into their regular house events and weird tea parties.She swallowed hard, reminding herself that hiding here wouldn't solve anything. They were still going to see her anyway.Yet, even as the Woods family paraded down the red carpet, she found herself paralyzed with indecision.These were the same people she had previously spent the weekend in the mansion but she dared not to join them over there on the red carpet.She should be out there with themâher husbandâs family and her chance to step into this world.
