THE BILLIONAIRE'S RUNAWAY MISTRESS CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN
Sebastian was about to knock again, but the door was pulled open before his fist could reach to it, and Reynolds showed up from behind the door, an unimpressed look on his face.It was a look that showed he was being disturbed and didn't like that. Before he could speak, Sebastian beat him to it,"What---""Where's your mother?"The boy's frown deepened,"Her bedroom. Where else should mommy be?""She's not in her bedroom, Reynolds.""Then, she must be with Alex and Oliver. They're outside playing."Sebastian was a little relieved, he mouthed an unappreciative thank you to the boy.He was about to leave, when he stopped himself and returned his attention to the boy, who remained by the door, a quizzical look on his face."Why aren't you with them?""Because, I am busy." Reynolds's reply was curt, but he choose to ignore it, asking him instead,"With what?""Assignments and learning, what else?""I want to speak to you....privately." He told the boy, then turned to Madam Magdalene."Tha

Isabel's eyes blazed with a fierce intensity as she confronted Sebastian, her voice trembling with rage and grief. "You knew, didn't you?" she spat, her words dripping with venom, as she glared at him with bloodshot and tearsmeared eyes."You knew about the accident, about my parents...it was your car...."Sebastian's face was etched with guilt and shame as he nodded slowly, his eyes cast downward,"I'm so sorry, Isabel," he whispered, his voice barely audible,"I wish there was anything I could do to change the outcome of that night...I wish I hadn't been so careless, letting my emotions control my action...I am sorry, Isabel."All his pleading, but she was beyond consolation. She took a step closer to him, her fists clenched at her sides,"You were driving that night, weren't you?" she accused, her voice rising to a crescendo. "You were the one behind the wheel, not your driver!"Sebastian's eyes snapped up to meet Isabel's, filled with a deep sorrow and regret,"Yes..." He confesse

Sebastian stood in the hallway, his eyes fixed on the closed bedroom door, Reynolds was knocking against, his mind reeling with regret and guilt. He felt like he'd been punched in the gut, his breath knocked out of him.He thought about the look on Isabel's face, the shock, the anger, the hurt. He knew he'd broken her trust, shattered the foundation of their relationship. He couldn't blame her that she hated him, and if she chose to leave him, he deserved worst.Reynolds stopped knocking and turned to him,"Daddy, she won't open the door." The boy inveighed,"What did you do to her?"His eyes dropped to the floor, his shoulders slumping under the weight of his guilt. He felt like he was drowning in a sea of regret, unable to keep his head above water.He wished he could bring himself to tell his sons the truth, but they would hate him even more than Isabel does now. They would despise him, knowing he was the cause of their mother's loss and misery.And once his whole family is turned

Isabel alight from the aft hatch of the plane, letting out a weary sigh.They'd landed the Seattle Tacoma International Airport minutes ago, and she was exhausted, both mentally, physically and emotionally. However, it wasn't the five-hours long that caused her exhaustion, or the fact that she was both hungry and sleepy. Far from that. Her exhaustion and melancholy was due to the heartbreak and betrayal she'd gotten from the man she loved, and the fear that she might never get to see her sons again, until they're old enough to come visit her.The latter reason horrified her the most, but the fact remained what it was. She might never get to see them again until they're old enough to visit on their own volition, because legally, they aren't her sons and she has no rights over them.Now, she would've to move on and live her life like they never existed to her. She wouldn't get to see their smiling faces anymore, or hear them bicker over random things. She wouldn't get the opportunity

Isabel was startled away from her dream by the persistent ringing of a doorbell, and when she opened her eyes, she was lost for a couple of second.At first, she thought she was still in New York, until she wiped her eyes and realize that she was back in Colby and was in Reynolds's bedroom.The whole memories of everything that transpired the day before came crashing on her that instant, filling her with unexplainable grief and sadness.Isabel tried to take her mind off her grief, by forcing herself to remember what she was dreaming about, before she was woken abruptly, but the dingdong sound of the doorbell came again, snatching her attention.With a groggy sigh, she pushed herself from the bed, wore her slippers and she staggered out of the bedroom, closing the door behind her.After she ended the call with the boy last night, she'd retired to her bedroom hoping to fall asleep right away, but sleep eluded her.She kept tossing and turning on the bed, fighting the urge to not break in

Despite Austin's subtle objection, Isabel accepted the package sent from the delivery guy, and she carried it into the house, but did not open it.She dropped it on the dining table and left without sparing it a second glance."I don't understand why you won't let me deal with the bastard." Austin was still fuming,"He needs to be taught a lesson, after everything he has done.""Austin, I don't want you to get involved in a rivalry with Sebastian. It is not worth it." She advised him,"Sebastian is the worst person you'd want to get into a feud with, and I wouldn't want you to get hurt because of me.""I am not scared of him, Isabel and you shouldn't be. That bastard wronged you, and he took your son away from him, I don't see why you should be afraid of him." He admonished her,"You've to fight for yourself and for Reynolds. You've got to fight to get your son back. Stand up to that bully.""I can't!" She screamed at him, her voice raised to a crescendo,"Don't you understand tha

Several days past, and Isabel was still struggling to get used to living without her son. There were some mornings she rose very early, fretting about what breakfast to make him, only to be reminded of his absence, by the cold silence coming from his bedroom.One afternoon, she left the cafe and drove down to his former school, only to remember that he was no longer schooling there, when she was almost at the schoolThat day, she cried.She cried so hard, she began to feel lightheaded and nauseous, yet the tears wouldn't stop falling.Her whole body was quivering as if someone had ran her an ice bath on a snowy day, sobs and sniffles escaping from her trembling lips.Isabel had never felt so frazzled like she did that day.After crying herself to stupor for over an hour, she managed to calm her frayed nerves and she drove herself home.She'd wanted to call Austin or one of her employees to come drive her home, but she didn't want them to meet her in that condition, and certainly didn

After much going back and forth, Isabel begrudgingly agreed to go out with Austin. He made her breakfast while she went to freshen up.She came downstairs about an hour later and breakfast table was set."You know you don't have to do all this for me." She told him, approaching the seat he'd pulled out for her."I will be fine on my own.""I know you will, Izzy. You are a strong lady and I applaud that, but let me do this for you." He insisted as she sat down,"Allow me put a smile on your face, even though I cannot make your happiness whole again." Isabel raised her gaze, passing him a bittersweet smile,"Thanks, Austin.""You don't have to thank me, Isabel. You've nothing to thank me for."He left her back, taking the seat next to hers, while she slowly dug into her breakfast.They left the house after breakfast, and on Isabel's insistent, they dropped by the restaurant.Her employees were happy to see her, after being absent from the cafe for days.She offered to help them, but Gin

Sebastian and Isabel returned to New York about three weeks later, after Damien was charged for violating his probation, kidnappings and attempted murder.He was tried in court where although he pled non-guilty, he was given a fifteen years sentence, with no possibility of an early bail.Damien was devastated by the judge's sentence, and tried everything he could to shorten his sentence, but the judge remained absolute."You not only defied the law, but you constituted more crimes, Mr. Giddorti. No matter who you are, you should be made to face the full consequences of your action." The judge told him,"Your sentence remains unchanged, Mr. Giddorti. Fifteen years in the Stafford Creek Correctional Facility in Aberdeen, Washington without the possibility of an early bail, no matter what."Sebastian and Isabel were present in court when he was tried and the former was overjoyed, knowing that his biggest rival was down.Shakira did not make it in the hospital, thus narrowly escaped senten

With the detective permission, Sebastian waited until after the Ob/gyn finished her assessment on Isabel, and assured them that their baby was alright, before going to see Shakira.But, before leaving for the ICU, he'd to speak to Deputy Rivera. The man had come to speak to them, concerning getting official statements.Sebastian and Isabel gave theirs first, then Moses gave his. And to the man's conviction, it tallied with the statement Pendel had given them.Thereafter, he called the detective aside, while Sebastian waited with Isabel."What do you think they're discussing about?" She asked him,"You need not to worry about it, Isabel. I will take care of everything."Sebastian told her like he always did, then turned to Moses who was seated farther away from them, asking him,"Did you later put a call across to Pierre and Mr. Gonzalez?""Yes, sir. I have done that, and explained the situation to them. Mr. Gonzalez is on his way."Sebastian nodded with a proud smile, squeezing Is

Sebastian refused to go see the doctor,no matter how much the doctor begged him."I don't care if her insides are spilling out of her body through her mouth, I do not want to lay eyes on that bitch, else I would expedite the process of sending her to hell." He spat with disdain,"She brought this on herself and she nearly killed my fiancée had I not intervened early. Tell her that I wish her nothing but the worst death ever, and I pray she goes to hell after that."The doctor was flabbergasted.It was a miracle that she made it out of her unconscious state, after they managed to remove the bullets from the vulnerable locations she was shot at.However, he knew that she wouldn't make it past the morning. She did lost a lot of blood and one of the bullet had severed her anterior spinal artery and her spleen.She was as good as death, but somehow, was given a second chance, which wouldn't last up to six hours.She was on her deathbed and has requested to see the man.

Sebastian's eyes fluttered open, groggily taking in his surroundings. The bright morning light streaming through the hospital window made him squint and look away from the window.He was met with an unfamiliar ceiling and the sterile smell of a hospital room. His mind was foggy, and his body felt heavy, as if an invisible force was weighing on him.As he tried to sit up, a jolt of pain shot through his head, making him wince."Fuck!" His hand instinctively went to his temple, but it was restrained by a cold metal cuff attached to the bed frame. He tugged at the cuff, but it wouldn't budge.Confusion and panic began to set in, but they settled the second realization dawned on him.The memories of the event of the night before came crashing on him like a blizzard on a snowy night and he lwt out a loud sigh. He couldn't believe that he was being held like a criminal.Sebastian Bernadotte, CEO of Bernadotte and Sterling Groups, was being cuffed to a hospital bed like a common crimin

The first sight that shocked Sebastian as they were led out of the house, was seeing Jarvis's lifeless body on the ground, near the entrance.His immediate thought was Isabel, as he watched the body.Is she safe?God, let nothing happen to her. He prayed within himself.Nothing had better happen to her and his child, else he would kill Damien himself, spending the rest of his life in jail."Sir!" One of the men outside called, rushing towards them,"Speak to me, Howard. What have you got?" The man holding Sebastian probed him."Sir, so far we've rounded five casualties" He informed the man,"Make that seven!" Someone hollered from the side of the house, stealing all their attention.Pendel emerged from the darkness, and from behind him were two armed men."There are two casualties at the other side of the house. Caucasian armed male and female."One of the men shoved Pendel, who was cuffed top, pushing him to where Sebastian and Damien were standing."We received report about a h

Meanwhile, Sebastian and Pendel relentlessly went after Damien and Shakira who were trying to escape through the back."Sir, Giddorti is hiding in there, and I think he's out of bullets " Pendel informed Sebastian, who was hiding by the other side of the door,"Cover me, while I go in.""No...go after Valande and the man, I will take care of Giddorti myself." Sebastian told him instead,"I think it is time we put an end to all this. Me and him.""But, sir....""Go, and make sure Shakira doesn't escape.""Okay, sir."Pendel left immediately, following Sebastian's order, while he tucked his gun into the back of his pant."Giddorti, I know you are in there and I sure know that you are out of bullets." Sebastian began, taking steady steps into the room,"I can perceive the nauseating smell of your fear from here, you son of a bitch." He scoffed,"I might be a bastard, Bernadotte, but I am not as cowardly as you are. You allowed another man take the fall for your sins, when you should be

Moses and Isabel have walked halfway through, when suddenly, a light flashed through the darkness, from a near distance.Moses was immediately on alert, raising his gun for action."Stay close, Ms. Hadid. We have an unwelcomed guest ahead of us." He told Isabel, slowing his step, so as not to alert whoever the other person was.With his one hand on the trigger, and the other holding Isabel's hand, they carefully approached the light.Suddenly, Moses stopped walking, which made Isabel stop too."Stay here and wait for me, Ms. Hadid."Without questioning, Isabel waited in the spot he asked her to, hiding behind two tall trees."Get down, and no matter what you hear, do not come out until I ask you to." He warned in a low whisper,"And once I tell you to run, you run as fast as your legs can take you." He dug his free hand into his pocket, pulling out a car key, which he handed to her."Head north, till you get to the main road. Take the Chevy and drive to wherever you can you'll be s

"Stay here and don't make any fucking sound!" Damien ordered Isabel in exasperation, bolting out of the bedroom as another gunshot fired in the air.He slammed the door shut, leaving Isabel confused, and shaking with terror.What could be happening out there?Were they under attack?Despite her trembling limbs and pounding heartbeat, she got up from the bed, to go see what was happening. Just as she apprroached the window, another shot was fired, louder than the previous ones.Isabel's body reverberated with trepidation, causing an immediate abortion of the idea in her head.She thought of hiding somewhere to save herself, but a crazy thought flashed her mind instantly.Escape, Isabel! You should be using this opportunity to escape from this hellhole.Her instinct screamed at her, while shots continue to fly outside, instilling fear into her.If you think anyone is coming to save you, then you are dreaming. You are responsible for the safety of your baby and yourself, and this is

Meanwhile, Isabel had almost dozed off, when she was awoken by the sound of running engine approaching the house from a distance.Her eyes opened and she listened keenly as the car drove closer to the house, lights from its headlights fairly illuminating the bedroom, through the window.Finally, the car came to a stop in front of the house, and its engine quieten down. For some reason, Isabel's heart was beating crazily.Not because she was scared, but because she didn't want to face them, knowing either of them would come to check up on her, to be certain that she haven't escaped. She didn't want to see their disgusting faces, Shakira's especially.A couple of hours ago, she was faced with the most shocking and unexpected revelation, aside being abducted.Sebastian wasn't the mastermind behind her kidnap, like she'd earlier suspected.It wasn't him. In fact, he might have no idea about it, except that Austin have informed him.Instead, it was Damien Giddorti and Sebastian's ex-fi
