Serena fought to hold back the tears, " you don't have to be sorry, Iam glad you are being honest, most men would lie, I have no expectation about our future, we are just having fun and that is all" she said, feeling her heart breaking."So you are good with this, the way things are between us, no strings? And what about when you go back home, will you be okay?"She looks up at him with a fake smile plastered on her face, Hoping he would not notice, " when I go back home, I will be taking some amazing memories with me"Sebastian put his arms around her, though she said everything was fine, he could tell that wasn't the truth, " we've had a long day and you must be exhausted, we should get some sleep, I have more Surprises in store for you tomorrow" he said, giving her a goodnight kiss.It was their last day in Paris, he was taking her for more sightseeing, lunch at the finest restaurant and then to see an opera.Serena sat brushing her hair, she could not help feeling sad as time wa
Picking up a napkin, he wiped her lipstick off from his cheek, " Julia, I wasn't expecting to see you here" Sebastian said, looking uncomfortable when he glance over to Serena."You know dear, I was waiting for your call after you broke our date, you said you would, and I was deeply hurt that you didn't invite me to your party" Julia turned and glared at Serena.Seeing the two women looking at each other, he introduced them to one another, " now if you will excuse us, we are about to eat, goodbye""Is she the reason you broke our date! Are you babysitting these days?" She asked, looking at Serena with contempt, " really Sebastian, she is not your type"Feeling insulted and refusing to let this woman belittle her, serena came back with a comment of her own, " well, I bet he prefers babysitting to taking out a grandmother""What?! You cheeky little tramp!" Julia said and picked up a glass of water from the table, threw it on Serena's face.Sebastian took hold of Julia's arm and pushed h
Sebastian sat with his chin resting on his hand, his eyes narrowed as he watched Jeremy, " why do you dislike her so much?"Jeremy sat the laptop on the table, " I don't trust her and neither should you, I think she is here to do you harm, she is a trouble maker, IAM very sure she had even talked you out of foreclosing on that deal""I made that decision on my own, Serena did not influence me one bit, I gave them more time, no big deal, it didn't cost us anything""You have gotten so soft since miss Marcello has been here, you would never have given those debtors an extension before, you know what? The sooner she is gone, the better" Jeremy said angrily."Could it be Jeremy that you dislike her so much because she is not interested in you, or your advances towards her"Jeremy's face turned red, he swallowed hard when he looked at Sebastian, " that's insane, she has you thinking the worst of me"Tapping his finger on the oak desk, Sebastian glared at the man who was squirming in his se
"Nevermind that" he said, Sebastian bent over, opened it and turn it on, all the information she had on him popped up.Serena eyes flew to his, " I can explain, tears sprang to her eyes."Don't bother with the tears, they no longer work on me, you have been lying to me all these while, right from the moment you dropped your purse by my table, I knew you were up to something, I want to know why"The way he was looking at her with hate and disgust, she felt terrible and her eyes went to the floor, she could not bear to see him look at her that way, " I knew who you were, I flew over here looking for you""Why?" He yelled making her jump and look at him."Because you killed my father! I blamed you for his death" she gasped In fear when he took a hold of her arm and pulled her off the bed, he was outrage and sick of being blamed for things that were not his fault, things he has no control over.He grabbed her off the bed not caring how rough it was, his finger digging into her tender fle
Sebastian went back to his office pouring himself a drink, he sat down on the sofa, his conscience was weighing on his mind, what was he thinking to attack her that way? Never in his life had he done that to a woman."IAM no better than Marcus"He opened a bottle of Scotch and started drinking, feeling sorry for himself. The first time he had ever wanted a woman to move in with him and she had betrayed him, betrayed his trust, he ended up spending the night on the sofa in his office.The sun was shining through the window when he woke up, his head was pounding and his mouth dry, he had one of the miad bring him a cup of coffee, sitting behind his desk, he rubbed his face, he was in dire need of a shower and shave, his shirt was wrinkled from sleeping on it, he unbuttoned few buttons as he took a swallow of the steaming liquid.His thoughts went to Serena and what took place last night, no matter what she had done, she didn't deserve what he said and tired to do to her, well she would
It was all Serena's fault, before she had come along, he never has trouble concentrating or sleeping, it was as if she had cast a spell on him, giving up on her sleep, he gets up and walks out onto the balcony, he didn't feel the cold as he stood there in only his briefs looking down onto the garden, he could picture her sitting there holding a flower as she smelled it, whenever he came home looking for her, he knew she would be there in the garden, it was her favorite place after the bedroom.Going back inside, he opens a bottle of Scotch and poured himself a double shot, "this is nuts" he thought and went back to bed, he was determined to forget about her and move on with his life.Tomorrow he would find another assistant and start going back fully to work, to the way things were, when she came into his life, he had stopped going to his usual restaurant, he would call and inform them that he would be requiring his table once again, he had stopped going to his office and had been wo
Her hands flew to her mouth, she felt sick to her stomach, she needed this job back badly, " I was away on my holiday, how could you give my job to someone else when I had done nothing wrong?" She spat bitterly."It wasn't me who did it, the partners said you were gone too long".She glared angrily at him, she could tell he was lying and she hated the sight of him, " who was my job given to?"George looks up to her, squirming in his seat under her intense gaze, " they gave it to Amy""Amy?" Serena scoffed.George looked around the small shop and saw that people were looking their way, he tried to quiet her, " please keep your voice down" he hissed."Why should I? Don't you want them to know what lying, cheating slime ball you all are? You only gave her my job because she is sleeping with every one of you and I wouldn't" Serena stood up to leave but George grabbed her arm, preventing her from moving away."Don't be this way Serena, you and I can still be friends, let me take you to din
Serena was sick with worry, she was sure they were going to fire her, though she could not understand why, because nobody knew about the baby, and she was good at her job and got along with the customers."Serena sweetheart, come sit, Andre will be here any minute" Lily said pointing to a chair, " would you like something to drink?" She asked.Serena sat still, her nerves on the edge, " No thank you Lily, have I done something wrong?" She asked looking up into the older woman face, searching for a clue as to what was going on.Before Lily could answer, Andre came strutting in and sat down with the two women."Serena my dear, we asked you here for a reason" Andre said as he took a drink of the coffee that Lily had bought."Am I being fired?" She asked, holding back her tears, "if it's because of last night, when I slapped that drunk customer for grabbing my ass, I will apologize to him, please don't fire me"Lily and Andre were stunned and stared at each other's faces, the shock was wr
