Isabel did not tell Sebastian about the call, when she arrived at the Aurélien's Place several minutes later. Even when they were having dinner and he asked her if everything was fine.

"You are oddly quiet tonight." He pointed to her,

"Did anything happen?"

Isabel was lost in her thoughts, that she was barely listening to him.

It wasn't until he touched her hand, was she startled from her reverie.

"What are you thinking about, Little Rabbit?"

He inquired from her,

"What is in your mind that has taken your attention from your dinner, that you've barely touched it? Don't you like the meal?"

Isabel flashed him a wry smile,

"I like the food." She lied, wearing a pretentious smile as she took a bite from her dinner.

But Sebastian wasn't convinced.

He knew that she was lying, and something was perturbing her.

"Don't you dare lie to me, Isabel. Tell me what it is that is bothering you..."

"It is nothing." She stood firm on her lie,

"I was thinking about something Ginny told me earlier today.

    Later that night, as they headed home, Isabel couldn't stop admiring her ring. She was so eager to share the news with someone, but there was no one she could share the news with.Sharing the news with Austin would've been a great idea, except that she didn't want him lecturing her about her decision and castigating Sebastian.She didn't have any family member, or close friends to share the news with, which somehow made her sad."I should've done this from the very first day I met you." Sebastian mouthed to her, when he saw her staring at the ring with admiration in her eyes,"I shouldn't have waited this long.""How sure are you that I would've said yes to you if you'd proposed to me when we first met?""I know you wouldn't say yes to me, because you were stubborn and willful. However, I would've done something to make you change your mind." He said with so much confidence, while staring at her,"What if I don't?" Isabel challenged him with a playful smile,"What if I remained resolut

    Several minutes later, while Isabel was still in the car, she saw Sebastian ushering the triplets out of the elevator, while Brittany followed behind them.Seeing the confused expression on the boys' faces, made her heart ache.She pushed the door open, and jumped out of the car before Fowler could stop her and she ran to the boys."Mommy!" Reynolds shrieked the second he saw her running towards them, and he let go of Sebastian's hand immediately, running to catch up with her.Seeing that her sons were okay, filled Isabel with unexplainable relief.She hugged the boy, and even when Alexander and Oliver joined them, she gathered all three of them in her embrace, painting their faces with several kisses."Mommy, what happened?" Reynolds asked her, concern lacing his small voice after she has freed them from her embrace."What happened to our car?" Oliver pointed out, perplexed as he stared at the ruin on the car.Zachary immediately blocked the boy's view, while Sebastian replied to him,

    Meanwhile, Isabel was at the manor, impatiently waiting for Sebastian to return.About an hour ago, she called him and he'd told her that he was on his way to the manor.Her mind was plagued with quite an unhealthy amount of morbid thoughts.She thought about driving to the penthouse to drag him home, but she knew that Fowler wouldn't allow her go anywhere, without Sebastian ordering it.She tried calling him again, but this time, her call was sent to voicemail."Fuck! Sebastian, why are you doing this to me?" She mused, her eyes nearly blurring with tears as she paced to and fro their bedroom, praying for him to return homeThe boys have gone to school and she was alone, except for the employees scattered around the manor, Jarvis and Fowler included.After plenty minutes of random morbid thoughts, she decided to go call him and know what was delaying him.Hopefully, he would pick up and tell her that he was alright, and was on his way home.Who was she kidding?Her call was sent to vo

    After over an hour of driving around Manhattan, Sebastian and Moses finally found the address they were looking for."Sir, I think you should stay here, while I go in and find the apartment." Moses offered to the man, who was seated at the backseat, staring at him through the rearview mirror."You know what floor her apartment is on?""No, sir, but I will ask around.""Ask them what? You've no picture of her, nor do you know what her name is or what she look like."Moses did not say anything.Sebastian brought out the piece of paper he'd copied the information about the lady into, then he handed it to Moses."That is her name, phone number and address. Although, I do not suppose that the number is still active, because I can't seem to reach her with it."Moses took the paper from the man, stole a glance at it, before he shoved it into his pocket.While Sebastian waited in the car, he stepped down, then made his way towards the several storey apartment building.Once he entered, he made

    The drove to the lady's new residence took them over thirty minutes, since it was in the outskirts of Manhattan.The car finally came to a stop in front of a seven storey apartment building, and Moses turned off the engine, turning to the scar-faced man who was seated him,"Is this the place?""Yes. She works in the coffee shop down the street." The man informed them.Moses stole a glance at Sebastian who have have barely spoken since the beginning of the drive, and he asked the man,"Sir, should I go with him, or do you want to?"Sebastian's gaze revert to the man in front, then to Moses,"Let me go with him.""Okay, sir."Moses unlocked the door, stepped down, then opened the door for Sebastian, while the scar-faced man alight the car by himself.They both sauntered into the building, then head straight for the elevator."Let me guess," The scar-faced man began as the elevator ascended, "you are a business man."Sebastian stole him a glance, but did not say anything."Expensive suit,

    "I want nothing to do with that son of a bitch who ruined my life." Joan spat, the second Sebastian made mention of Damien Giddorti's name."Trust me, Ms. Lively, I do not want anything to do with him too, but I need the bastard to face the consequences of his actions." He explained to her, "And I saw the file on the rape charge you raised against him three years ago. However, for some reason, which I believe he'd influenced, the charges were dropped."Joan scoffed, staring at her palms which she placed on the table."I know you must be wondering why I am interested in your case, or why I suddenly believe you after all these years. The truth is that, Damien Giddorti has always been a bastard, but recently, he thought it would be funny to assault my wife, to spite me." Sebastian continued, leaving both the scar-faced man and Joan bewildered."Yes. He tried to take advantage of her, despite knowing that she's mine and although I got him arrested, but he was bailed out because there was

    "What the hell are you talking about, Isabel?" Sebastian questioned her,"Why would you ask me to do that?""Because, I think it's the right thing to do, since we are both about to enter a new chapter of our lives." She explained to him.Now, it was her turn to beg him."I don't care about the both of them, Sebastian, but I do not think that I want us to have a life where we have people like them hovering over us." She continued, taking his other hand into hers."I understand that they must've wronged you in one way or the other, but I need you to let go of everything that happened. I do not want our children to be raised in this rivalry, which would mean passing it to their own children, who would also pass it to theirs, and the circle continues endlessly.""Isabel, what you are asking for is impossible. I owe no grudge against Shakira for what she did, but I don't think I would ever forgive Damien Giddorti for all he has done." He avowed to her,"Do you know what that bastard did to

    Several minutes later, Sebastian was spooning Isabel whose head was rested against his chest.They were still exhausted from their earlier intense and passionate lovemaking and their hearts were beating in a rhythm."I'm indeed the luckiest man on the planet." He told her, possessively tightening his arms around her petite form."Had anyone told me ten to fifteen years ago, that someday I will become obsessed over a woman and desperately want to make her mine, I would've called the person a goddamn liar."Isabel let out an exhausted, but satisfied sigh."But here I am, at thirty-five, obsessed over you and wanting nothing but to spend the rest of my life with you. I'm the luckiest man on earth.""Likewise me, Sebastian." She whispered to him,"Who could've known that I would end up getting married to the same man I once despised like my life depended on it. But, here I am.""I'm no believer of fate, or destiny, but I think the only explanation to our relationship is destiny. We were de

    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.

    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.

    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.
