THE BILLIONAIRE'S RUNAWAY MISTRESS CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
The drive to the restaurant lasted for over twenty minutes, which left Isabel curious."Didn't you say the restaurant was down the avenue, we've been driving for the past twenty minutes and you've taken several turns, yet we haven't arrived. Why?""My apologies, Ms. Hadid, we'll arrive shortly. I didn't want us to jump into traffic, hence the shortcuts." He explained to her, stealing a glance at her through the rearview mirror.Isabel exhaled softly, then removed her gaze from the man, to Reynolds who was seated beside her.The boy was staring outside the car window, mesmerized by the kaleidoscope of lights dancing across Brooklyn's skyline. The city transformed at night, its steel and concrete façade surrendering to a tapestry of twinkling lights."Wow," Reynolds breathed, his voice barely audible over the hum of the engine.Zachary, intrigued by his reaction, smiled,"It's a beauty, right?"Reynolds nodded, his eyes still locked on the view."Mommy, where are all these people goin

Sebastian poured wine into Isabel's glass, his eyes meeting hers in a silent plea. But her gaze remained icy, her jaw set with indifference."Isabel, please," Sebastian said softly, "let's talk about this."Isabel's silence was deafening, her focus fixed on the city skyline, and how it merged with the darkness of the night sky.All those while, she was thinking about her son, and how she'd been so foolish to fall for Zachary's trick.Why would he had pretended to care, if he didn't have any trick up his sleeve?It all made sense now.A lot of what happened earlier that evening were beginning to make sense to her, and they fueled her rage, making her loathe Sebastian the more.Although Zachary left with Mr. Gilbert a few minutes ago, promising to go stay with Reynolds, she showed no appreciation for his offer.Sebastian tried again, this time his voice laced with frustration. "Fine. Sit there, angry and silent. But know this: I did what I thought was best."Isabel's eyes flashed indign

Meanwhile, Reynolds was impatiently waiting for his mother to return.It has been almost an hour since Zachary returned from the restaurant, with takeout dinner for him, and the flimsy excuse that his mother was saying hello to an old friend she'd met inside the restaurant.At first, he'd believed the man.His mommy had lived in the city before he was born, so it was possible that she'd met an old acquaintance and had stopped to say hello.However, after thirty minutes crawled into an hour, he began to get suspicious that something must've happened to her inside theIf not, what else would be holding her?"Open the door." "Why?" Zachary who was seated in the driver's side, asked the boy.Earlier, after he'd lied to the boy that his mother was greeting an old friend, thus the delay, he decided he wasn't going to leave immediately to not arouse the boy's suspicion.Now, he was regretting that decision."I need to go get my mommy, so we can go home. She has taken too long with this frie

Seeing her son's ashen face, Isabel tried to disengage from Sebastian, but he refuse to let her go."Let me handle this." He whispered to her, while she was battling with embarrassment and regret. How could she have allowed herself to be irresponsible, kissing a man in front of her son?She blamed herself, although she knew the situation was beyond her control.Her innocence did nothing to extinguish the guilt that was eating her.The knowledge that she has traumatized her little boy, filled her with self-loathe.At that moment, all she wanted to do was envelope him into a warm hug and apologize to him, but Sebastian insisted on handling things himself."It's not your fault that he caught us in the act. He wasn't supposed to be here." He reassured her, seeing the guilt that has glistened her eyes.He was angry too, but his anger were directed at Zachary mostly.Not only did he fail to do the simple job of keeping the boy away, but his carelessness has cost him a golden opportunity

The drive to the manor was the longest drive of Isabel's life. It felt like it was never coming to an end, and in the latter part of the drive, she wished she could buy herself more time.Although it has been eight years of seperation.it felt like an enternity, and her heart raced with anticipation and dread.What would they be like?What if they don't like her and refused to acknowledge her as their mother?Of course she wasn't expecting them to jump for joy when they meet. She wasn't even expecting them to acknowledge her, since she wasn't legally their mother, and she doesn't know what the man have told them before now.He wouldn't tell her when she asked him, but she suspected that he'd told them the truth."She was just a vessel to carry my heirs, and you don't need to know who she is."However, a twinkle of faith lingered in her heart, giving her hope she didn't want to accept, but couldn't help herself.The last time she saw them, they were both newborns weighing no more tha

The reunion went better than Isabel had expected. The boys were warm towards her, at least, the oldest, Alexander was.The younger one, Oliver, seemed neutral about everything, even after Sebastian introduced her and Reynolds as their mother and youngest brother respectively.He spoke only when he was spoken to, retaining a bored expression throughout the meeting.His personality mirrored Reynolds' so much, leaving Isabel marveled.The only difference between them was that, he appeared to be a little more outspoken than Reynolds, but that did not ease her concern.She'd always believed that Reynolds' indifference to the world around him was because of his health struggles in his early childhood, coupled with the fact that it'd mostly been just the both of them.However, she couldn't say the same for Oliver.While Alexander was entertaining both Reynolds and Oliver with random talks, which they both seem uninterested in, Sebastian got up and excused himself."Isabel, can I speak to y

The day of the event finally came and despite her warning, Sebastian did not return to the country, nor did he call her, which was unusual, but Isabel did not call him.She was angry at him for choosing his work over if own son's, and vowed to not pick his calls if he ever called.Since their father wasn't attending the event, Alexander invited her and Reynolds instead."You and Reynolds should take the invitation, since Father won't be showing up like always."The boy's disappointment kindled her anger against Sebastian, but she did not say anything, except to thank the boy for the thoughtful gesture.Zachary drove them to the venue of the event, which was at the boys' school, and the drive lasted for about ten minutes.When they arrived, Zachary opened the door for them, and Isabel stepped out of the car and onto the manicured grounds of Alexander and Oliver's school, her eyes widening in awe. The sprawling campus stretched before her, with majestic stone buildings, immaculate l

Ignoring the stranger flattering question, Isabel walked past the stranger, keeping a straight face.The last thing she needed was having another man hit on her when she was yet to get rid of the two on her neck."Come on, a pretty lady like you shouldn't walk around with such expression. It doesn't suit you." The man persisted, while she walked away briskly, not wanting to be left in an awkward situation with the stranger.However, he following her, talking to her, even though she outrightly ignored him.What kind of an idiot doesn't read the atmosphere to know when a lady wants to speak to him, and when she doesn't?"I couldn't help but notice you from earlier, while you were speaking to Principal Anderson. Honestly, I was beyond captivated by your beauty and I knew I'd to speak to you before the day runs out." He continued, while Isavel hastened her steps, barely saying anything to him."I understand that you are skeptical about indulging in a conversation with a man you just me

While they were having lunch, Sebastian made his intentions of coming to their home clear to their home."Isabel and I are getting married soon." He told them, and we have come to seek for your blessings, Mrs. Hadid."Patricia looked at her daughter, Jasmine, then her attention returned to Sebastian who has barely touched the meal served to him."Okay, Mr. Bernadotte, you've my blessings to marry Isabel, my daughter." The woman said without any hesitation, which Isabel found odd.Of course, she knew they were intimidated by Sebastian's presence.Who wasn't?Everyone she knew, was intimidated by the man's presence and they all accord him with utmost respect.But, Patricia and Jasmine seemed terrified of him, in a way that seemed quite suspicious to her."Isabel," Patricia called her name and she turned to the woman,"Child, you made the right choice. Mr. Bernadotte is a good man and he will keep you happy." The woman advised her,"I am so proud of you, Isabel and I know your father

After ending the call with Detective Jonas, Sebastian called Pierre and gave him the assignment of sniffing Damien Giddorti's ass"Pardon my asking, Mr. Bernadotte, but this is unlike every other assignment you've been giving me?""Yes, I know, but I need every information you can get on that son of a bitch.""What kind of information do you need?" Pierre asked the man, still confused about his request."Have you been told anything about him?""I just received a tip of an alliance that Giddorti Enterprise is pumping Wall Street with drug money, so I need you to help me find out if it is true or not." Pierre wasn't comfortable with the assignment, and he aired it to Sebastian immediately."Mr. Bernadotte, you need to understand that this isn't as easy as you think. Whether or not Giddorti is involved in any illegal activities, busting him would do you no good.""There's always a hierarchy, and trust me, someone like Damien Giddorti can never be at the top of the food chain.

Sebastian was eager to facilitate the wedding process, and make it happen at soonest.Left to him, they would've gotten married that weekend, but there was a lot of preparations to be made, and Isabel has insisted that he postponed it, because she needed to tell her family about it."The same family who set you up, and nearly had you kidnapped, if not for Fowler's timely intervention?"He wasn't thrilled with the idea of her going to meet them, and that was mostly because they were still in his custody, unbeknownst to her."Despite what they've done to me, they are still my family, and I do not intend to get married without getting their blessings." She was honest with him."I've no friends, nor do I have anyone elsewhere except them. And although they might've wronged me countless times in the past, I don't think it is fair to cut them out of my life just like that, because they saved me too.""And you've done well to repay them every kindness they've shown you. Yet, they continu

Like Sebastian avowed, he got the lady from the stored fired from her workplace, then got her arrested.Isabel wasn't supportive of his decision, but since he'd threatened to extend the lady's stay behind bar, if she begged him on her behalf, she decided to not say anything to him. However, she showed her displeasure, which he ignored."This should serve as a lesson to anyone who decide to disrespect you." He told her, as the officers took the crying lady away."Now, remind me what it is you wanted to get?"Isabel was quiet for a while, as the crowd dispersed, but a good amount of passerby were looking at them, awed to see Sebastian, his triplet sons and his new girlfriend."Nothing..."He threw her a discerning glare, then took her hand into his,"If I could remember, the Genesis of this misunderstanding was you trying to see if a particular shade of foundation matched you skin tone, right?"Isabel said nothing, prompting Oliver to say yes to the man."I still remember the brand,

After they left the store, Isabel could tell the boys were in a sour mood, and she didn't know what to say to cheer them up."Boys, do you want to go to the arcade now?" She asked them, hopeful they would say yes, but they didn't."We are fine." "Yeah...I think I'd rather go home."Both Oliver and Reynolds spoke respectively."Boys, I don't think you should be feeling sad about what that lady did, or anything she said to me." She told them, watching their sullen faces."You see, sometime the best answer to give to people who are being intentionally disrespectful to you, is silence.""But, mommy, she crossed the line calling you a lowlife and us, the b word." Alexander argued,"She was being disrespectful to you, but you did not defend yourself. Sometimes, people need to be taught that they can't go around being rude to anyone they see, because they feel like they can.""She needs to be taught a lesson." Reynolds concluded,"One she wouldn't forget in a hurry. Nobody disrespect my mo

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

"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

"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

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
