Now, Sebastian... →_→
E L L EMikhail is a spitting image of his mother. The only difference is, his eyes are a darker shade. His mother's eyes were a lighter, brighter brown. But, other than that, he's a carbon copy of her."What are you doing here?" He asked, shock written all over his face."Can't a mother drop by her son's place, unannounced, without raising an alarm?"He shook his head, "Of course you can. I just wasn't expecting you.""Well, you can expect me more often. This place is gorgeous, Mishka.""Thanks. Come in, Mom."His mother stepped inside, and he closed the door behind her.She turned toward me, and smiled with confusion. "Hello. I'm Anastasia, Mikhail's mother."I stumbled a bit, initially hiding behind Mikhail to avoid her attention, but eventually, I stuck my hand out, "Elle.""Ah, so you're the Elle." She said, grinning widely."What are you talking about, Mom?" Mikhail asked, glancing between us."Oh, nothing. Your brother is coming by with his family later today, I was just tellin
E L L EThe sound of his name alone made my blood boil with anger. What the hell was he doing here? Hasn't he done enough? What prompted his unwanted visit?"Send him in."The assistant nodded, and I sighed, leaning back in my chair.I knew whatever Sebastian was here for, it was no good.Sebastian was a sore reminder of the past. The painful and ugly past, one I never ever want to reminisce. The past one month of being with Mikhail, I had almost completely forgotten about Sebastian, not until today that he decided to grace me with his unpleasant visit. Sebastian strolled in, and he stood staring at me for a few moments. His eyes held a mixture of emotions which I couldn't really detect, or I didn't really care enough to.His brows were furrowed as if rethinking his decision of coming here. And he should.I stared back at the man I was hopelessly in love with five years ago. The man who betrayed me and left me all alone in this cruel world.Sebastian took a seat on the chair across fr
E M O R YI was livid, annoyed and frustrated. All this goddamned pregnancy knows how to do is fuck with me and give me a migraine.I was supposed to be at the doctor's, but here I am, lying in bed and feeling like shit. I have to be there today. My appointment is important and I can't miss it, especially in my last month of pregnancy."Fuck this."Sebastian has been nothing but a shitty husband since my third trimester. He constantly came home late, left before I’m even able to wake up and forced me to take a maternity leave from my company because the baby could arrive at anytime. Which makes me wonder, if he knows the baby isn’t his, would he still care about me and the baby?He claims to love the child but he has never attended any of my ultrasounds, never held my hand when I was in pain or cried alone when I felt like a failure. He was absent from the pregnancy, and he has a lot of making up to do.I know what I did was wrong. And I feel horrible. But it doesn’t change the fact t
S E B A S T I A NMy fingers tightened in the stirring wheel as I drive from Elle’s company. Anger surged through my veins, the need to punch something was strong, but the only thing stopping me was the car window.Her nonchalance, her anger, her fucking smirk, everything about her made me angrier. I wanted to punch her, wipe that smirk off her face.The sound of her palm connecting with my cheek was still echoing in my mind.Elle, the love of my life, the person who I had thought would be the mother of my children, the only woman I ever truly loved. The one woman who broke my heart and ruined me.She was nothing but a lying bitch. A cheater, a whore, a slut. She didn't deserve a single ounce of love from anyone. She was an ungrateful bitch who only deserved pain. Pain like the one she made me endure.Pain that was still lingering in my mind.What the he’ll was j thinking when I decided to pay her a visit. Why can’t I seen to let go of the ducking past and move in with my life? Why was
E M O R YI drove into the garage, sighting Sebastian's car which could only mean he was back.It was quite unusual to see him home at the hour, but I was thankful that I'm at least going to spend some time with him.Pushing the thoughts of all I discovered at the hospital, I pressed the lock button on my car key, watching as the car honked.The sound of my heels clicking against the pavement filled the silence of the night.I turned around, the lights of the building were illuminating the parking lot and giving the entire place a golden glow, making the dark night look more beautiful.I opened the door to the house, immediately noticing a lone figure standing next to one of the dining chairs.I rushed towards him and pulled him into a hug, which he didn't reciprocate. I inhaled his cologne, sighing. This was really my man. Never in my life did I believe I'd finally be able to get my hands on him, and here I was married to him even. Who would have fucking thought? Sebastian fucking Bla
S E B A S T I A NI sat outside Emory's hospital room, my hands on my head.My head was blank, my brain unable to process anything. All I could see was Emory, laying in a pool of her own blood and her face scrunched in pain that might be etched in my head forever.I didn't know how long I've been sitting outside, but it felt like hours. I was helpless didn't know what was going on, totally clueless and the worst might have even happened.What if she doesn't make it? What if the baby doesn't make it? What if I lose both of them at the same time? Just because I was so busy accusing her of lying.If anything happens to them, I'll never forgive myself.My hands trembled and tears formed in my eyes.How could I have been so blind?So stupid.So oblivious.All this while, the woman who gave me genuine love was suffering alone and I was too busy accusing her of shit and not realizing her true intentions.I didn't pay attention to the signs, her mood swings, her weird behavior, her strange ea
S E B A S T I A NI didn't know how long I've been sitting, waiting for what was to come. Waiting for the conclusion of my fate, and hell, it was the most hardest wait I've ever done in my life.My life was a rollercoaster. I didn't expect this.I didn't expect any of this.I've never been so confused and lost in my life.I've never wanted a drink this badly in my life, but I had to stay sober and sane.For what was to come. I needed to experience this with clear eyes. For our child.But I wasn't even sure if it was mine anymore.And if it was, could I even be the father that she needs me to be, when her mother had failed us all?I didn't know how long I have been staring, but the doctor suddenly entered the room and I jumped up, rushing to him."Mr. Michael Carter and Mr. Sebastian Black, the result of the blood tests are in and Mr. Michael Carter's blood was compatible with the child. Mr. Black, we are sorry but the baby is not yours. You are not her biological father."His words ec
E M O R YI woke up feeling sore all over.My head felt light and my stomach felt heavy.I slowly opened my eyes and looked around, but I couldn't remember anything.Where was I?What was going on?Why was everything so blurry and bright?What was the last thing I remembered?I couldn't think properly, my brain felt fuzzy.I closed my eyes again, trying to focus.And suddenly, I felt the pain in my stomach and I gasped, trying to catch my breath.The pain was agonizing and I screamed.What was happening?Why was I hurting so bad?Was it a nightmare?"Emory, hey, you're awake. Shh, relax, I'm right here. Take a deep breath, baby. Relax. It's going to be okay."I expected to see the familiar face of my husband, but I was stunned when Michael rushed to my side instead, holding my hand and whispering to me."Michael?" I croaked, my throat was dry and my mouth felt like cotton."Drink." He brought a glass of water to my lips and tilted it, allowing the cold liquid to slide down my throat an
E L L EI sat at my vanity table, my towel wrapped around my body as I started with my make-up. I applied a light foundation, followed by a little blush, mascara, and red lipstick.My eyes were bright, and my cheeks were flushed. I looked absolutely different, and I could definitely see the glow that everyone was talking about. My skin was literally flawless, and I haven't had a single acne in months. The baby was trying to show the world that she's going to be a good girl, but is literally about to rupture my ribs from her constant kicks.She was a very active baby at just seven months. Two more months to go, and it could even get worse. Mikhail was busy getting ready, and he had been checking up on me constantly to make sure I was fine.I took out the hair curler and curled my hair into loose curls, letting it fall around my shoulders.Afterwards, I put on a light perfume, and stepped into my dress. The shimmery yellow mermaid gown clung tightly to my body, accentuating my curves. M
M I K H A I LI drove my car into the driveway, and turned off the engine. After a few talks with the security guards, I walked into the house with a bouquet of Elle's favorite flowers.It was strangely quiet today, because I usually see Elle in the living room, either watching a movie or sleeping.I decided to go up the stairs and look for her in the bedroom. As soon as I twisted the door open and stepped in, I was met in a dark dimly lit room.There were candles everywhere and flowers and rose petals on the floor. The sight before me almost knocked the air out of my lungs. The sweet scent from the candles, her scent, it was all overwhelming. Elle was in a red lingerie. A sexy two piece lingerie, and her stomach was protruding. She looked like a goddess. One who God has taken his precious time creating under the moonlight, perfectly moulding each and every curve and feature.She was the definition of perfection. A gorgeous goddess. Her hair was flowing down her back, and she had he
E L L EI was home all alone today because I just didn't feel like going to work. I wanted some peace and quiet, and quite frankly, I was too lazy to go anywhere.Today would be my off day. To sleep, watch a movie, snack and repeat.I had a huge bowl of popcorn and my eyes were glued to the TV, watching the romantic comedy I had rented from the library.It was a beautiful Friday and the weather was perfect, and I wanted to relax and spend the day alone.My phone was on silent and the door was locked. I was having a relaxing time, and no one could mess with me. I placed the huge bowl of popcorn on my belly. Yes, this baby was growing too fast that my belly was not big enough to hold the popcorn.I was a quarter through the movie when my doorbell rang, and I frowned. I paused the movie and sat up. Who could that be?It rang again, and then there was a loud banging on the door.I groaned and got up, walking to the door."Hold on a second!"I opened the door and was met with wide grins. "
L A U R AI was sitting on my couch, setting up the food I had ordered down for Sebastian and I.Just a few seconds later, a knock sounded at the door.I went to open the door, and I was greeted by Sebastian standing in a dark casual outfit, a dark blue jeans and black shirt, his hair slicked back and his piercing blue eyes meeting mine."Hi.""Hey, gorgeous." He said, smiling as he took me in, his gaze moving slowly over my body, and I blushed."Come in.""I brought some wine and dessert." He said, showing the wine bottle."Great, the food is already here, and it's all set up. Thank you.""Thanks for inviting me over. You have no idea how much I missed seeing you." He said, pulling me into a tight hug, his musky scent hitting my nose, making my insides warm and fuzzy."I missed you too, Seb."He pulled away, and I had to try so hard to fight off the burning blush crawling up my cheeks."I hope you like the dessert, and the wine. I wasn't sure which wine to buy, so I bought the red, s
L A U R AMy eyes narrowed into a glare, and I frowned. "Excuse me? What do you mean?""Sebastian Black is a ruthless bastard, and he is the last man you should be messing with. He's a heartless asshole." Giovanna stated, and her voice held authority and anger.I could hear the venom lacing her voice. Why would she be so mad and disgusted at Sebastian?"You are the sweetest girl I know, and have a heart of gold. And, Sebastian, the man is just a walking corpse. He's an animal, and has a heart of ice.""How would you know?" I asked, feeling defensive. I didn't like the way she was speaking about Sebastian. How does she know him? What exactly does she know about him that's making her say such things about him? What business does she have with him?"That man doesn't deserve your love, Laura. He destroyed my best friend. They had a very messy divorce that cost my best friend a lot. When he realized that he has been living with the real enemy, he now wants her forgiveness. He still loves h
L A U R AAfter a two hour nap, filled with tossing and turning on my bed, thinking about the events that took place this afternoon, and the visit from the evil witch, I finally managed to get up and take a shower.It was almost eight, and it was time for me to get ready for dinner at my cousin's place.I walked into the bathroom, and stripped out of my clothes.Once I was completely naked, I turned the faucet, and water gushed out, filling the large tub with warm water.I stepped inside the bath, and sighed in relief.The tension eased from my shoulders, and my mind was clear.It was time to relax, and forget about what happened earlier today.After the long, and much needed, hot bath, I stepped out of the tub, wrapping a towel around my body.I grabbed the brush and combed through my hair.After drying it a bit, I went to my closet and picked an outfit. I didn't dress fancy, because I wasn't planning on going anywhere afterwards.Once I was done, I headed to the kitchen and grabbed t
L A U R AMy car pulled to a stop in front of my office. "Look, I have to hang up now. Work calls." I said to Sebastian on the phone. His call had woken me up this morning and he stayed all through my shower, dressing up and arriving at work.And there was never a point where the conversation got awkward or boring. We always had something to talk about, like we've known each other our whole lives."Okay. Dinner, tonight?" He asked and a smile pulled at my lips.Unfortunately, I already had plans for tonight. "I'm sorry, maybe another time? I already agreed on dinner with my cousin and her girlfriend. But, tomorrow is my off, you could come over to my place and we could order some food and watch movies or something.""Sounds like a plan. Text me when it's time.""I will.""Goodbye, beautiful.""Goodbye, Sebastian.I disconnected the call, and smiled.This was the first time I've actually smiled and felt good in the morning, and it was all because of Sebastian. I was afraid that I was st
M I C H A E LI stood in the corner, watching as Elle and her boyfriend made their way out of the event. I rubbed a hand over my face in frustration as soon as their car sped into the distance. I didn't mean to scare her the way I did, I was just desperate for her to learn the real truth about what happened in Bali.I had expected that reaction from her, but I had thought that I would've been able to calm her down and get to talk her and tell her everything. But, I wasn't going to give up. Not until she knew the truth."Fuck!" I muttered, frustrated, running a hand through my hair. It's not gonna be easy. She hates my guts, and I was the cause of her trauma. What did I expect? I'm such an idiot.I sighed, turning to the exit.I had come here in a disguise, knowing that Mikhail's security detail would send me out as soon as they realized I was invited for this event, but I couldn't wait.This was the only way to reach Elle and tell her everything.I had followed her and Mikhail everywh
E L L EThe next day, Mikhail's friend gave us an invitation for his fashion show. It was also my first public appearance while being pregnant and I was totally excited and nervous at the same time.His friend sent me an unreleased dress from the new line and I was ecstatic, because it was the most beautiful and expensive dress I've ever owned.It was a beautiful blue mermaid gown, that fit perfectly. The fabric was soft and delicate. I fell in love with the dress as soon as I laid eyes on it, and now that it was finally time to wear it, and the night has arrived, I was beginning to have a lot of second thoughts."Are you sure I'm not going to look fat in this?" I asked Mikhail for the hundredth time, and he looked up from tying his tie.He looked shocked by my question, because this was the first time I'd ever asked such a ridiculous question."What are you talking about? You're beautiful. And, you're not fat, Elle. Stop saying that. You're pregnant. There's a difference. You're pregn
