The Thompson Villa.Slap!“How could you be so stupid?” The one who spoke was Eva Thompson, her face flushed with anger as her palm connected with Scarlet's cheek.For the first time ever, she had raised her hand against her own flesh and blood—her precious daughter, who she had always treated like an egg, never to be broken.“I warned you, didn’t I? I told you not to do anything stupid. Now look what you've done!” Eva’s voice echoed in the grand hall of the villa, a stark contrast to the usually peaceful atmosphere that always enveloped the Thompson household.Scarlet stood frozen, her cheek stinging from the slap. Tears of anguish filled her eyes, but it wasn't the physical pain from her mother’s slap that hurt the most. It was the emotional pain that left her feeling breathless.Right now, her heart felt heavier than it ever had before. All she could think about was Sebastian and the unfairness of it all.How could he do this to her?She couldn't believe he could be so cruel, relea

She believed they were now the perfect match for each other. Sebastian was no longer the weak and unsuccessful boy she had left behind, and she also wasn't that naive young girl either.Love isn’t forgotten; it’s just waiting for the right moment to bloom again.He loved her once, and she can make him see that he can love her again no matter the circumstances.‘He just needs time to see that I’m worth it!’ she told herself.The thought of rekindling their love excited her more than the simplest pleasures of her career did. It felt more fulfilling than every magazine cover and the countless fashion shows she had graced across the globe.“Scarlet, this isn’t the time to be stubborn. Follow your mother back to London now!” her father's warning voice brought her back to reality, but she felt a new fire ignite within her.“No, Dad. Sebastian could still be mine! He’s not as cold as he seems! He still cares about me; I know it! I just need to show him that I’m not the person they’re making

“What’s he planning now?” Kourtney whispered to herself, wondering what kind of show he planned to put on.As she tucked her phone away, she cast a glance around the bustling office. Everyone was immersed in their own worlds, completely oblivious to her little mission.With the confidence of a spy in a money heist film, Kourtney slipped out of her desk, glancing around once more to make sure none of her colleagues caught her.She was very wary, trying not to be seen or followed by anyone, especially knowing that the man would probably come with a fleet of his most expensive cars and a dozen bodyguards.The last time Sebastian had insisted on picking her up with that luxury white Limousine, whispers had circulated all over Skyline Events about her having a “sugar daddy.”She did not want to deal with that embarrassment all over again.Dodging the watchful eyes of her coworkers like an expert, she made her way to the elevator that would take her to the parking lot, her heart racing for

Kourtney shot him a playful glare, fidgeting as she mentally scolded herself. “I really need to go. Thank you again for the flowers!”She leaned over and gave him another quick peck on the cheek before practically shoving herself out of the car.Sebastian watched as she was literally almost tiptoeing her way back into the building, still trying to hide as she held the roses tightly to her chest like a prized trophy.“What a funny woman,” he murmured to himself with a grin plastered on his face.Just watching her brought warmth to his heart. Would she ever see how lucky she was? How lucky they both were to have found each other in this vast, chaotic world?She really was the light in his cold world, and her bubbly spirit never failed to get to him. She had slowly but surely become his everything. Suddenly, every dull meeting and every boring responsibility back at the office seemed trivial.“Mr. Martins,” he ordered, straightening his tie as he reluctantly felt his stony demeanor creep

Kourtney felt a lump form in her throat.‘Oh, God, No! Liam also thinks I have a sugar daddy?’ she thought, terrified he might have believed the awful rumors swirling about her.She had always appreciated Liam; he was one of the few genuinely decent people in the office. Their friendship meant so much to her, and the idea that he might see her in that light made her want to vent.But before she could delve into a defensive retort, Liam continued, lowering his voice, “It’s from your husband, Sebastian Woods, right?”Kourtney’s mouth instantly dropped to the floor in surprise.How did he know?She hadn’t told him yet!“Wait, how do you know about... about him?” she questioned as low as possible, shock coloring her features.Liam sighed, his eyes clouded with pain. “I pieced it together after that lunch date we had. Remember when those bodyguards showed up? I thought it was just a coincidence, but then later… I realized it when I looked back at those photos the paparazzi took of him carr

The jealousy in their eyes burned bright, each remark like a thorn pricking at her confidence.This time, Kourtney decided to confront it.When the chatter seemed louder than usual, she stood up in her cubicle. “You know what? I got the roses from my husband, Sebastian Woods, and I love receiving flowers from him!” she announced loudly without giving a fuuck.At first, silence washed over the office so that one could hear a pin drop. And then, suddenly, a thunderstorm of laughter cut through the air.They thought she was clowning!“Sebastian Woods? Seriously? Girl, are you high on cheap cocaine?” One female colleague asked, and everyone tilted with laughter again.Only Liam sat quietly, watching the drama unfold without a single form of expression on his face.“Yeah. You all can think what you like. But I’ve told the truth,” Kourtney was annoyed as she went back to her desk.The Silverstone Gala will be happening in less than 3 days. She shouldn’t be wasting her precious time trying t

After grumbling for a while, everyone simply accepted their fate.As she stood at the counter, watching the bodyguards facilitate her purchase like a well-oiled machine, Kourtney couldn’t help but immerse herself in her thoughts.It was bizarre, but she couldn’t deny she was enjoying this. She was “Kourtney Woods” now, and that title brought with it a lot of special treatment.Sure, it was uncomfortable being the center of attention, but it was also wonderful to know how much Sebastian cared for her. She could feel herself soaking in the perks that came with being married to a billionaire.Was this how it was going to be?Living a life where every little inconvenience could be whisked away so easily by a bunch of her husband’s carefully coordinated efforts?A life where potently strong men would rush to cater to her whims because of the man she married?It made her feel special and cherished in a way that she had never experienced before.She blushed deeply, glancing back at the over-

“What’s wrong? Did I offend you?” Kourtney asked, finding him surrounded by books and papers—his own fortress of solitude.He had been different since he got home. It’s like she didn't even know him right now.Sebastian gritted his teeth, and his eyes darkened with a possessive rage. “I’ve had a long day, Kourtney, but something needs to be addressed.”He stood up, approaching her, and she felt her blood run cold. Time slowed as her heart beat harder in her chest, waiting for him to say whatever needed to be addressed.She blinked blankly at him, hoping it wasn't what she was thinking….“Next time,” he continued with a low and dangerous edge to his voice, “when that blonde-haired colleague of yours comes at you—ignore him. I don’t want my wife to be seen hugging a guy in public.”Kourtney’s eyes widened in disbelief.How did he even find out?How could he know that she shared a small, innocent hug with Liam that afternoon? Except he was stalking and prying on everything she did!The t

His eyes drifted across the crowd, scanning for something familiar.Then he saw her—Kourtney.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.

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 wasn’t just Kourtney anymore; she was Kourtney Woods, the wife of the most powerful man in Melbourne. And she needs to shine beside him.“Look, 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. You’re not just some side project; you deserve to shine, to be the most important person in his life.”Kourtney bit her lip, filled with the combination of sorrow and a will to believe in Sebastian. “But… But he introduced me to his family. Doesn’t that mean anything?”“Maybe,” Lilian said, softening a bit. “But you need to have a talk with him. Make him realize that hiding you isn’t an option. You’re not a secret; Girl, you’re 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 “own” event. The situation had left her rattled, and right now, she wasn’t in a good mood.Once again, she ignored the man’s message and tucked her phone into her purse.“Typical Sebastian,” she muttered under her breath, feeling that simmering frustration become something deeper.Why couldn’t he understand that this wasn’t 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.

“I should just rip this off of you! You don’t deserve it! Who the hell do you think you are?” Scarlet spat, her demeanor feral, like a wild animal cornered and desperate.“Just a woman who refuses to blend into the background while you prance around like you're the queen of the world.”Shocked gasps echoed through the room. The vibe in the restroom had shifted in Kourtney’s 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 dress—it 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. “Look at you, acting like you own this place!” she shouted, her face flushed with indignation.Kourtney, standing her ground, firmly replied, “I am owning it!”Scarlet 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 hadn’t even bothered to look her way.The man didn’t pay attention to anyone but himself….He sat at his solo table, effortlessly charming, with the air of a king who couldn’t be bothered to glance at her for a second while she remained an invisible shadow just a few meters away at her family’s table.Absolutely devastating!The sting in her chest twisted harder each time she glanced his way.It pained her so much that the man didn’t seem to give a fuck about her. It hurt her ego so much.How could he not even acknowledge her?“Just breathe,” she murmured, leaning her we

“Honestly, Sheila? I just thought I’d wear something nice for the gala. Not everyone needs approval to feel good about themselves,” she shot back, attempting to keep her voice steady.“Please! Who’s going to notice you? He didn't even bother to acknowledge your existence. You’d think he’d at least do something with all that effort you put into your look,” Sheila leaned in to mock into Kourtney's ears, trying not to raise more suspicion from her friends.Kourtney’s heart sank deeper at Sheila's words, the sting of the truth cutting through the “unbothered girl” facade she tried so hard to project. Why was she subjected to this? Incensed, she retorted, “You’re just bitter because you can’t stand that I’m comfortable in my own skin. I'm not insecure about my looks like others!” Sheila’s 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

Kourtney looked around to see what the new commotion was all about.And there he was…..Sebastian, her husband, emerged, dressed impeccably in his dark suit, his presence magnetic.

The entire Woods household was present down to their head servant, Madame Collins.‘These people were indeed weird,” 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 them—her husband’s family and her chance to step into this world.
