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

Kourtney’s senses sharpened immediately.This couldn't possibly be just a technical mishap! The entire event had been going on smoothly for hours now. So why now?Why when she was on stage speaking?A rush of urgency pulled her attention back to Debbie Howard once more.She felt a bead of sweat trickle down her temples as she recalled the smirk plastered on Debbie's face. It was still lingering, still taunting. Was this part of her plot?What more was she plotting?

Kourtney smiled brightly.Goodness, it felt incredible to be acknowledged in such a way. She knew that the glamorous lights made her look radiant, but their astonishment ran deeper than appearance. She could tell that they couldn’t fathom why the most powerful man in the room would break his stoic persona for her.And with each sound of approval from the crowd, Kourtney’s confidence began to swell, her earlier apprehensions replaced with a fiery determination. She turned toward her in-laws seated in the front rows.Grandpa Woods was on his feet as he supported his frail legs with his walking stick. Kourtney blushed. The Old Man had a sparkle of pride in his eyes, as if saying “That's my talented Granddaughter-in-law.”Apart from him, Edwin, his sister, Clara, and a few other Woods family members were upstanding in honor of her.However, the majority of them, including Sheila, her mother, and her sister still had that disdainful and envious looks on their faces.Nevertheless, the ovati

As she made her way towards the podium, through the backstage, Kourtney was still nervous as hell. The howling and supportive chants from the crowd could do nothing to calm her raging nerves.She just had a bad feeling…as if something would go wrong and she just couldn't shake it off. She decided to keep her head high regardless, not wanting to flop.She would grace the stage in front of so many people, her husband, his family, her own family, her ex and his family, and then the entire world—There should be no room for flopping!A feeling of impending dread should not be her utmost thought at the moment. She just needed to focus on what she was going to say so as not to appear stupid.But then Kourtney saw her, and her heart dropped.A very familiar figure!There, lurking in the shadows of the backstage area, was Debbie Howard dressed informally in a black and white uniform as if she were among the lighting or technical staff.Kourtney felt a chill run down her spine, like icy fingers

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.“Give it up for BTS!” 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.“Did you see that choreography?” one woman exclaimed, her eyes shining with awe.“Right? I thought I was going to faint!” 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.“Now

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. 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 Sebastian’s 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

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. Her emotions were all over the place now, and she could barely focus.Just as she grappled with her feelin

“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
