My Stone-Hearted Billionaire Husband   Chapter 96: Letâs Go Home, Baby
âFire every officer on duty today. The ones who mistreated and manhandled my wife,â Sebastian commanded a frightened senior police officer after carrying Kourtney back to the lobby of the precinct.His voice was a low growl, and each word was laced with an unmistakable threat that echoed through the whole place like a gunshot. He expected nothing less than justice for what they did to his precious wife.The officer gulped, fear evident in his eyes. âB-but sir, IâââNo excuses,â Sebastian cut him off, his gaze piercing. âYouâll do as I say, or youâll regret it.â The threat was clear, and the officer quickly nodded, scrambling to do his bidding. He was clearly shaken by the billionaire's unexpected presence. Even Governors were intimidated by this man, much less him, a mere Chief of Police. âYes, sir! It will be done, immediately.âKourtney watched as Sebastianâs anger simmered beneath the surface.âYou didnât have to do that. I mean, firing them? Isnât that a bit extreme?âThose were

As Sebastian carried Kourtney safely out of the precinct and away from the chaotic paparazzi, Lilian's eyes followed them, her heart swelling with relief and concern. She felt a wave of happiness wash over her. Lilian had always been Kourtneyâs rockâthe one who held her together whenever her family did her dirty. Memories of late-night talks about their dreams and fears flooded back, and now, seeing that her best friend had such a man to protect her after all that sheâs been through in that toxic and shitty family of hers made her heart so glad.âAt least sheâs safe now,â she murmured to herself, a small smile breaking through her worried expression. âLetâs go. Iâll drop you off,â Edwinâs deep voice jolted her out of her thoughts. She turned to face him, and her eyes met with the intensity of his piercing gaze.There was an undeniable chemistry between them, but she couldnât shake the feeling that the man was âtrouble.âFor all she knew, this man could be dangerous. And he seemed l

âUhh?â Lilian frowned, her curiosity piqued. âI donât know, what?ââAn impasta!â His laughter filled the car, and it was so infectious that she couldnât help but burst into giggles, the tension between them evaporating like morning mist.âOh my God, that was terrible!â she exclaimed, holding her stomach as the laughter bubbled up uncontrollably. âYou should be ashamed of yourself!âShe couldnât help but admire how effortlessly he lightened the mood. His humor was exactly what she needed to shake off the shadows of her earlier thoughts.But then, she clamped her mouth shut, mentally scolding herself for laughing so hard at such a boring joke. As she held her mouth closed tightly, she wondered why she was suddenly so self-aware around this stranger.Why was he making her feel so flustered? She was usually confident and composed, but here she was, giggling like a schoolgirl.What would he think of her then?âAre you alright?â Edwin asked, glancing at her with a teasing smile. âYou look l

âI owe you an apology,â Sebastian started with all sincerity in his gaze.He wasn't used to giving apologies, but he wanted to try his best anyway.He took a deep breath, visibly trying to compose himself. âIâve never been good at this,â he admitted, his gaze dropping to the floor. âBut I need you to know that Iâm sorry for all of it.âKourtney remained calm, feeling a rush of emotions at his words. She had already zeroed her mind from getting any kind of apologies about what happened from this man. But now, he surprised her.âHoney⌠I never intended for you to go through what you did at Coolaroo. I should have protected you better. I want you to know how deeply sorry I am. You were scared, and I should have been there for you, not just in the end but from the beginning.â As he spoke, Kourtney noticed the way his fingers trembled slightly, betraying the confidence he tried to project.His voice was thick with regret, and her heart ached at the sincerity in his tone. âIâŚââIt's okay i

The next morning, as the world awoke, the tabloids and social media buzzed with the news of the previous dayâs drama. Headlines screamed, âThe Allen Family Drama Continues!â âWretched family!â âShameless!âJamie, ever the clever investigator, had acted so quickly. Using the influence of Sebastian, he had managed to obtain the CCTV footage and different camera angles of the confrontation between Kourtney and her sister, Kathlyn. Kourtney never pushed Kathlyn.It was all a clear and precise setup!The moment the video hit the internet, it sent shockwaves through the general public. Kourtneyâs reputation, tarnished by lies, was restored once again while Kathlyn and the entire Allen clan were being dragged through the mud.But despite the shocking and dramatic twist of it all, the Allen family news wasn't even the most talked about at the moment.Rather, photos of the billionaire CEO, Sebastian Woods, carrying an unidentified woman in his arms stole the spotlight.Newspapers, blogs, TV, a

âGet away from me!â Kathlyn screamed, her voice raw with pain and humiliation.The scared nurses scrambled out of the room with speed. It looked like the patient was going crazy.The video had turned Kathlynâs life into a circus, dragging her name through the mud and exposing her dirty lies. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she thought about all the degrading remarks about her online, her heart heavy with shame.But that wasn't even the reason for her current state of madness.Just half an hour earlier, the door to her hospital room swung open, and in walked her familyâher mother, father, grandmother, and several other members of the Allen clan, their faces drawn with disappointment.They looked like a jury ready to condemn her for her sins.Grandma Florence, the ever-formidable woman with a reputation that preceded her, had stepped forward, her lips pursed in disapproval.âYou wretched girl,â she yelled as she slapped Kathlyn so hard across the face.The sound of the slap echoed in

The admission cut deeply, even as she spoke it.Kathlynâs real plan from the start was indeed to get pregnant with Brandonâs baby, but after months of their secret affair, she still couldn't conceive. She became desperate and more impatient as his wedding to Kourtney drew closer.She knew she had to act fast!The numerous hospital visits and examinations with Brandon and her family were preplanned after she paid and arranged with the doctors.The sonograms, the blood when she fell down the stairsâeverything was fake!Kathlyn had deceived Brandon, her parents, Kourtney, and her entire family. She fooled everyone.There was never a child!Brandonâs eyes narrowed as he took a step closer, the tension in the room thickening. âWhat are you saying?â he demanded, his voice burning with rage.With a wild laugh, Kathlyn leaned back on the white, sterile wall, her eyes glinting with madness. âYouâŚYou still donât get it, do you? I was never pregnant with your child. It was all a sham to make you

Sebastian was seated behind his massive mahogany desk, his eyes glued to the glowing screen of his laptop.But, the moment Kourtney stepped into the room, the world around him faded away, and his focus honed in on her.His gaze roamed over her, taking in every detail, and suddenly, his breath caught in his throat.Quickly, his eyes darkened with desire.He had not expected to see her like this.The soft sky-blue material of her nightie danced around her thighs, hinting at what lay beneath.The fabric clung to her curves, shimmering like a second skin. As she walked towards the desk, the sway of her hips did a number on him. He couldnât help but let his gaze travel from her perfect, pretty face and tousled brown hair down to her feet and then back up.It was as if the night had woven its magic around her, making her look ethereal and utterly captivating.âDid the servants see you like this?â Sebastian asked, his voice coming out harsher than he intended.It made Kourtney freeze in her

Kourtneyâs 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? As if to confirm her suspicion, the giant screen on the stage behind her suddenly lit up and started playing an ear-piercing sound.Kourtney wanted to cry at this point.

She could tell that they couldnât 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, Kourtneyâs 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 âThat's my talented Granddaughter-in-law.âApart 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 feelingâŚas 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 worldâThere 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

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.

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!

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

It hurt her ego so much.How could he not even acknowledge her?âJust breathe,â she murmured, leaning her we
