My Stone-Hearted Billionaire Husband Chapter 88: A Clueless Man
This time, Kourtney could only hope he respected her decision.“You... You don’t get to just waltz in here after what you made me go through. I need space, Mr Woods!”Sebastian rubbed a hand over his head, exhaling sharply as if trying to control himself.He needed to!He didn't want to give the woman any more reason to distance herself from him.She was back to calling him Mr Woods again and that somehow made his blood boil. It was as if they were back to square one all over again!“Go away, I beg you. I want you to leave me alone,” Kourtney's tears glistened under the dim light, and he felt a deep ache in his chest. No matter what happens here…. He knew he wasn’t going to sleep tonight!“Please…” she whispered. “Just go, Mr Woods. I don’t want to see you.” At this point, Sebastian couldn’t bring himself to press further. The hurt in her gaze was a stark reminder of how he had failed her. He was a man used to getting what he wanted, but Kourtney had been the only thing that had eve

Kourtney woke up the next day with her eyelids heavy and swollen from a restless night filled with tears. Sunlight streamed through the curtains, illuminating the room in a soft golden coloring that felt almost mocking against the turmoil in her heart. She groaned, raising a hand to her forehead, which throbbed painfully—a reminder of her emotional breakdown from the night before. It was as if the universe had conspired against her.“Good morning, sleepy head. Breakfast is ready!” Lilian’s cheerful voice floated into the room, cutting through the fog of Kourtney's despair, a tray balanced delicately in her hands. “I made your favorite—avocado toast with a poached egg. You need to eat something, sweetie.”Kourtney didn’t respond immediately. She lay there, staring blankly at the ceiling, feeling utterly defeated.Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Lilian placed the tray on Kourtney’s lap, her brow furrowing with concern. “You have to eat, Kourt. You haven’t had a proper meal since… well

Kourtney arrived at the Allen Corporation, still not knowing what to expect. As soon as she stepped into the sleek, glass-walled lobby, she felt the usual unwelcome wave of discomfort wash over her. Once again, she couldn't shake off the feeling of being an outsider, an alien.The polished marble floors and glass walls screamed success, but to her, they felt like an impenetrable fortress. She was a stranger in her own family’s empire.And, of course, she was met with the usual bitter stares, accusatory glares, judging whispers, and seething snares.“Can I help you?” the receptionist at the front desk asked, her tone as cold as the air conditioning that blasted overhead.“I’m Kourtney Allen, here to meet with HR,” Kourtney replied, forcing a smile despite the rudeness.“Well. Sign in,” the sharp-tongued receptionist barked, barely looking up from her computer screen, her fingers tapping away like a machine.Kourtney's heart sank as she complied, scribbling her name on the visitor log.

The police arrived at the scene in no time and started asking questions.“This woman pushed Ms Allen. I saw it with my two eyes,” a male voice sprang out loud.Kourtney looked over to see the person who was uttering such lies. It was the same naive and innocent-looking intern who had brought her up the stairs.She wanted to cry, to scream, to fight back against the injustice that was unfolding before her eyes. But instead, she stood there, her heart heavy with regret for even bothering to come here."Ma’am, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law," a police officer stated, his tone firm yet devoid of any compassion.She was handcuffed and led away, the cold metal biting into her wrists, and the embarrassment of being paraded in front of so many people stung like salt on an open wound. She could feel their judgmental stares on her back, the whispers that echoed in her ears.Kourtney held back the tears that threatened to

Upon reaching Woods Corporation, Lilian rushed into the towering glass building in haste. She could feel the prying eyes of the staff on her as she stormed through the lobby, her determination radiating from her every step.“I need to see the CEO, Sebastian Woods,” she declared to the receptionist.The receptionist, a young woman with an air of arrogance, raised an eyebrow. “Do you have an appointment?”“Appointment? Kourtney’s in jail, and I need to talk to him now!” Lilian exclaimed, her voice rising with urgency.The receptionist smirked, flipping her long hair over her shoulder as if Lilian’s panic was a mere triviality. “I’m sorry, but you cannot see President Woods without a proper appointment.”Lilian felt like slamming her overly done plastic surgery face on the desk, but she held herself back.However, her blood continued to boil over. Heat rose in her cheeks, and her hands trembled with barely contained rage.“Do you even understand the situation? My friend could be in serio

Lilian turned her head toward the voice. It was a very tall, striking man with raven-dark hair that cascaded just above his chiseled cheekbones. His piercing blue eyes seemed to hold a universe of secrets, demanding attention from everyone in the room.And the way he carried himself screamed power and might.He was an Adonis, and for a fleeting moment, Lilian felt her mouth go dry, but she quickly regained her composure, reminding herself that she was here to save Kourtney, not to gawk at handsome strangers.“Yeah! What's it to you?” she shot back, her tone laced with her usual bossiness, trying to mask the flutter of attraction she felt. ‘Great, now I sound like a teenager!’ she thought, annoyed with herself.The man—Edwin Woods, chuckled softly, a sound that was both charming and infuriating.“It's nothing to me, but I'm related to someone for whom that name means the world.”Lilian's heart skipped a beat, and she gasped, her eyes narrowing as she scrutinized him closely. She notice

Inside the precinct, Kourtney felt like she was in hell!After her horrible family had left, the wicked officers had dragged her through a series of dimly lit hallways, their grip unyielding as they pulled her toward an entirely different section of the station.They exchanged knowing glances before they shoved her into a stark, rough room. Kourtney did not need a prophet to tell her that a certain someone had ordered them to do this.This new space was a far cry from the sterile confines of the comfortable holding cell she’d just left. The walls were grimy, and the air was thick with the stench of waste and despair.Kourtney felt her heart pounding in her chest as she stepped inside. Her heart sank even further when she realized something— she was not alone.Hell!The more she took in the scene, the more her eyes widened in fear. The women around her were a far cry from the polished, privileged circles she was used to.They were spread out across the benches, their eyes narrowing as

Kourtney's heart ached desperately for him. She thought of his strong arms around her, enveloping her… securing her… shielding her against this wicked world.‘If only he would come for me,’ she thought desperately. If only he would burst through those doors and take her away from this nightmare. She needed her husband here now!She needed him now more than ever!The realization that she needed her husband was a hard pill for her to swallow. But now, she was done shying away from that thought. Lilian was right, after all.She knew now that she needed Sebastian so badly. He was like a God-sent to her, but she had been too blind to see and acknowledge that fact all this while.She needed that man, not only in this situation but also in her quest for revenge against her so-called family. At this point, Kourtney didn't care anymore.This time, she was done playing the good daughter.She was done being the naive little girl who they could step on so easily and get away with it.But now,

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.

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.

“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

Just then, the crowd erupted into a frenzy. 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.
