Sebastan's flight landed at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, at exactly five thirty-seven p.m the day before, and the car which was supposed to take him to the hotel, was already waiting for them outside the departure gates.

When they arrived at the hotel, Zachary checked-in, while one of the bellhops took their suitcase to his suite.

They arrived at his suite minutes later, and he went to freshen up first.

It was a five hours flight and he was exhausted.

He would've felt better if he had flown in his private jet, instead of flying first class in a commercial flight.

But then, he needed the jet to be in good shape for his flight to Taiwan, which was in a few weeks.

After he'd freshened up, he called home to speak to the boys, but according to their nanny, Brittany, they were with their fencing instructor, Mr. Armagilio.

    Isabel wasn't her self the whole day, and even when she went to pick Reynolds from school, the boy noticed her anxiety."What's wrong, Mommy? You seem worried." The boy asked her, as they drove home.She looked through the rearview mirror, flashing him a faux smile,"I'm fine, Rey--""You are lying, Mommy. You are worried about something, I can sense it." His tone was unemotional, even as he stared intently at her."Did anyone get you into trouble?""No, Honey." She said in her most convincing tone, widening her smile,"I've baking all day, and because there were lots of customers at the cafe. Mommy's just tired, that's all.""Why can't they go home and eat, instead of stressing you to bake more treats for them?"She smiled, amused at his seemingly innocence."They can't, because mommy needs their patronage." She explained to the boy, "Is it to take care of me?"Isabel nodded, stealing a glance at him, then she returned her attention to the road ahead of her."Mommy needs to work h

Isabel lied to the boy, coming out of the bathroom with water sprinkled on her face. She masked the discomfort she was feeling with a smile, as she approached the boy.She could tell he wasn't buying her lie, judging from how he was looking at her like she was an errant child."Mister---I mean, your father and I were having some grownups conversation." She forced a smile, stopping in front of the boy who wasn't still convinced by her reply."Baby," she took his hands into her, staring affectionately into his brown eyes, "mommy's fine.""Yes, your mommy is fine." Sebastian added from where he was standing, a tinge of jealousy lacing his tone.Both Reynolds and Isabel turned to him,"I am n

    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."

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.

    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

    Before Sebastian could say anything else, she ended the call, clenching her fist tightly.Isabel was having the strong urge to haul her phone against the wall, but she restrained herself, knowing the damage it will cause the phone, which was purchased barely three days ago.She burst out of her closet, slamming the door behind her. She strode across her bedroom, her feet pounding the floor in frustration. She felt like she was going to explode, her emotions boiling over like a pot left unattended on the stove.She flung open her bedroom door and stormed out into the hallway, not sure where she was going, but knowing she needed to get out of there. In fact, she didn't want to see Sebastian even if he teleported himself home right that moment.That was how mad she was at him.She paced down the hall, her hands clenched into fists, her mind racing with thoughts and feelings she couldn't process.She was livid, but the rest emotions she couldn't process accurately.How dare that bit
