My Stone-Hearted Billionaire Husband Chapter 97: A Pompous Man
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 Kourtney’s rock—the 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 she’s been through in that toxic and shitty family of hers made her heart so glad.“At least she’s safe now,” she murmured to herself, a small smile breaking through her worried expression. “Let’s go. I’ll drop you off,” Edwin’s 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 couldn’t shake the feeling that the man was “trouble.”For all she knew, this man could be dangerous. And he seemed l

“Uhh?” Lilian frowned, her curiosity piqued. “I don’t know, what?”“An impasta!” His laughter filled the car, and it was so infectious that she couldn’t help but burst into giggles, the tension between them evaporating like morning mist.“Oh my God, that was terrible!” she exclaimed, holding her stomach as the laughter bubbled up uncontrollably. “You should be ashamed of yourself!”She couldn’t 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?“Are you alright?” Edwin asked, glancing at her with a teasing smile. “You look l

“I owe you an apology,” 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. “I’ve never been good at this,” he admitted, his gaze dropping to the floor. “But I need you to know that I’m sorry for all of it.”Kourtney 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.“Honey… 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.” 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. “I…”“It's okay i

Headlines screamed, “The Allen Family Drama Continues!” “Wretched family!” “Shameless!”Jamie, ever the clever investigator, had acted so quickly.

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. Kourtney’s 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

“Get away from me!” 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 Kathlyn’s 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 family—her 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.“You wretched girl,” she yelled as she slapped Kathlyn so hard across the face.The sound of the slap echoed in

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 stairs—everything was fake!Kathlyn had deceived Brandon, her parents, Kourtney, and her entire family. She fooled everyone.There was never a child!Brandon’s eyes narrowed as he took a step closer, the tension in the room thickening. “What are you saying?” he demanded, his voice burning with rage.With a wild laugh, Kathlyn leaned back on the white, sterile wall, her eyes glinting with madness. “You…You still don’t 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 couldn’t 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.“Did the servants see you like this?” Sebastian asked, his voice coming out harsher than he intended.It made Kourtney freeze in her

Kourtney felt a jolt of electricity at his words, and her heart raced as Sebastian stepped closer.There was no denying the way the man’s gaze darkened with desire. She had seen that look too many times already…….“M—Me?” she stuttered with chaos written all over her face.“Absolutely.”The next thing she knew, Sebastian’s hands gripped her waist, lifting her effortlessly as usual, as if she weighed nothing.Kourtney gasped. Her heart was literally in her throat as her husband placed her gently on the edge of his study table, the cool surface contrasting sharply with the heat radiating from her skin.‘What is this man up to?’ she wondered.Not minding her obvious confusion, Sebastian settled himself into his chair. And with one swift and sudden movement, he held her two legs widely apart in front of his face while Kourtney gaped at him with wide eyes.There was that familiar predatory glint in his gaze as he inhaled sharply, enjoying the sweet scent of her womanhood.Sebastian could

Kourtney glanced around the room, eyeing the other women. They were all looking at her with suspicion as if she were a suspect in a crime she didn’t commit. Indeed, she was the target.“Oh wow! This has never happened in our history before.” “Who could be the thief?”“We've never encountered such cases at any of our gatherings in the past!”Kourtney sneered on hearing their annoying remarks.It was painfully obvious they were trying to make it look like the thief was someone new in their circle. It all seemed like a slow-motion scene from a bad movie that made her bored, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes in disgust.Did they really think they could frame her like this?She didn’t need a prophet to know she had been set up. The irritation bubbled within her. These women were more petty than she had ever imagined.“That's true! Why don’t we start by checking the purse of our beloved new young mistress?”Before Kourtney could say, Jack, Sheila had moved swiftly, snatching her purs

The next day came quicker than expected for Kourtney. It was Saturday afternoon, and the Woods ladies always hosted a tea party. It was like a compulsory family-friendly tradition, they said.“Who still holds tea parties in the 21st century?” she muttered to herself, shaking her head in disbelief.The Woods family, apparently.Over here, everything felt ceremonious with a touch of rigid formality.Just the thought of it made her want to laugh and cry, at the same time.The ladies were dressed in elegant gowns, their hats adorned with flowers while holding dainty china teacups and sitting beneath a grand oak tree at the center of the Woods estate garden. Kourtney felt like she had stepped into a time capsule that took her to the past.Oh lord!It’s giving the 19th century.It was the Victorian era once again!What would they have next?A masquerade ball?She chuckled lightly as she placed her own flowery hat on her head, feeling as though she was part of some kind of regency novel.Li

“We can leave now if you want,” Sebastian said as he took her reddened hand, massaging it softly.She didn't have to put up with this nonsense.Kourtney looked up at him, her heart swelling with gratitude.“No, I don’t want to. I can handle them,” she replied, determination flooding her veins.You can call her so many things. But a “quitter” isn't one of them.“Very well then. They will either accept you or face my wrath. I assure you this,” Sebastian spoke with ruthless precision as he pulled her closer.As a child, he had watched helplessly as his late mother was bullied continuously by members of the Woods family.Because of her poor background, they had never liked her.Back then, he couldn't do anything about it except clench his fists in frustration. However, one day, he vowed never to feel powerless like that ever again—a promise that fueled his fierce determination to succeed and made him become the man he is today.And now, he couldn't help his protectiveness over Kourtney a

That fear!It was that fear that somehow protected her like a shield, making them comply with whatever Sebastian commanded, even if it meant accepting her as his wife.They hated her presence here but could do little to nothing about it.Great!Just great!As they moved deeper into the grand living room, ornate chandeliers hung from the ceilings, casting a warm glow that seemed almost mocking in contrast to the chilly reception she was currently receiving.Apart from Grandpa Woods, other family members began to step forward to greet her. But their attempts felt empty and void, mere formalities arranged with forced smiles, making her feel small and insignificant.“Welcome to the family, Young Lady,” a middle-aged woman with perfectly styled blonde hair said. “We’ve heard so much about you.” The words dripped with sarcasm, and Kourtney could see the flicker of contempt behind her bright blue eyes.Oh!They knew!It was clear they already knew her entire history.Her identity and recent

The drive to the Woods’s ancestral villa was filled with an electric tension that made Kourtney feel alive yet utterly terrified. She perched on the plush leather passenger seat of Sebastian’s Bentley while he drove, gliding through the streets with great skill and charisma.Her heart was thumping loudly in her chest, and she placed a hand on it as if to calm her raging storm of emotions.Sebastian, effortlessly handsome behind the wheel, glanced over at her with an eyebrow raised. “Can you stop being so nervous?” He asked, a hint of irritation seeping into his voice while his dark eyes narrowed slightly. He saw no reason for her to feel that way. She was making him feel like they were heading to a live-or-die boxing match instead of just his family villa.The woman simply had nothing to worry about. If only she knew....... Meanwhile, Kourtney rolled her eyes at him, a small gesture of defiance, but she said nothing.He still didn’t understand. He still didn’t get it.And she gue

After a moment of silence, when she didn’t hear any response, she shrugged it off as if nothing had happened.Edwin Woods's heart was hammering in his chest.That was a close call!He peeped, watching her from the small hole by the door.He realized she was still wrapped in that delicate white towel, her hair cascading down her back in damp waves. His mind raced, imagining how soft her skin would be if he could touch her. But he had to stay hidden.He observed every little movement, from the way she brushed her damp hair back to the way her towel hugged her curves. She was so beautiful, so enchanting, and he couldn’t tear his eyes away from her.He felt like a thief, stealing moments of her life, but in his mind, he was merely a guardian waiting for the right time to make his presence known.He watched as she rummaged through her closet, pulling out clothes.She resumed her whistling, a carefree tune that made him smile. The way she moved, so blissfully unaware of his presence, sent a

Sebastian stepped out of the car, holding the door open for her. “Come on, let’s go inside,” he urged gently as he extended a hand to her.Kourtney hesitated for a second but then took his hand, feeling the warmth of his grip. As she stepped out of the limousine, she was greeted by the bright lights of the boutique and the luxurious aura that surrounded it. Inside was a treasure trove of elegance. Silks, satins, and shimmering fabrics adorned the racks, each piece gorgeous and unique. She felt a flicker of excitement as she walked through the aisles while Sebastian watched her, admiration filling his eyes.She looked like a delicate flower in a garden of riches, and he wanted to shower her with the best of the best.“Pick whatever you like,” he ordered.Her heart fluttered at his words. “Really? You don’t mind?” “Not at all,” Sebastian rasped.The way her emerald eyes lit up—it was mesmerizing. Just like that, they spent the next few hours shopping.The shop attendants treated Kour

The men walked straight to her, ignoring Liam completely. “Mrs. Woods, Mr. Woods wants you to come join him in his car right away,” one of them said.Kourtney’s heart dropped. “He—he’s here?” she stammered, glancing nervously out the window. Sure enough, her husband’s white limousine was parked outside, surrounded by a crowd of curious onlookers. It felt like a scene straight out of a movie!‘Oh no! What now?’ she winced inwardly.How did he even find out she was here?Would he accuse her of being promiscuous again?Surely, he might confuse this little luncheon with Liam for a romantic date. Right?The man was quick to jump to conclusions, and she feared facing the wrath of his anger again.What would he do to her this time? Drive her to Coolaroo again?Kourtney shivered with that thought in mind. Her heart started racing with fear and confusion.She stood up, her hands trembling as she shot Liam an apologetic look. “I...

However, Sebastian sat behind his mahogany desk, barely acknowledging her presence. Instead, he was buried in a stack of papers on his desk, his dark brows furrowed in concentration.Rachael felt a pang of disappointment as he didn’t even glance up to greet her.She could feel the embarrassing mix of frustration and sadness swelling in her chest.As usual, he was acting as if she were just another piece of furniture in the room.What would it take for this man to notice her?She swallowed hard, the presence of his two hulking bodyguards hovering in the corner of the room making her feel even more small and vulnerable. She knew they were there to prevent her from getting too close, a reminder of the boundaries he had drawn after their last encounter in his office space.He had made it clear that he didn’t want anything personal between them, and that hurt more than she cared to admit.But why is she still...here?“Bastian,” she started, her voice smooth and confident as she prepared to
