The Billionaire’s Contract Fiancee Chapter 124
Everything came as a rush towards Sebastian. It was as if everything was happening all at once, and he was at the center of it. If anything at all, this was not how he had envisioned to spend his vacation. He had come here to de-stress, not to relive another trauma he thought he had left behind.He got to his door and turned the handle, but it had beenlocked from the inside. Pissed off by how life was currently playing him, he let out a faint growl and banged on the door loudly as though he was taking out some of his frustration out on it. Ava, who was on the inside, was taken aback when she suddenly got disturbed by the disconcerting sounds of the bangs.“Who’s there?” She called out, standing up from the bed and heading towards the door to see who was tampering with the serenity of her room with such noises.“Open the door.” Sebastian’s voice came through — almost like a growl, but in a very definitive and scary tone. Ava recognized the voice, so she turned the key, and let him in.

“I’m sorry if I startled you. I didn’t mean to.” The man who was styled in a black short and a blue top took off his arms from Ava’s body. He stepped back a little, and Ava was able to see the entirety of his body. From the way his hair had moved back behind his forehead —slightly grey, she was able to immediately guess that he was probably in his fifties or sixties. Someone that old wouldn’t really have approached her to sexually assault her. Maybe he was saying the truth. “I thought you were someone else.” She replied, jerking off the frenzied state she was in due to the alcohol. The man let a smile slid out of his mouth, and was about to say something when a random woman entered the bar and did the very same thing the man had done. She hugged Ava, as if she had known her since a very long time. Startled by what was going on with the people before her, Ava broke a sweat, reflecting her tense state. “Again, I’m sorry.” The man apologized again, but Ava wanted more than an apology. I

There was more than one thing that made the day remarkable, part of which was the serene atmosphere which flooded across the city like a fog — cool, yet beautiful. This has to be a normal atmosphere in Greece. All this beauty and what it held. Another was the breeze. Some would say it blended well with the cool atmosphere, but then it wasn’t a regular breeze, only the people who have been riddled by distance understands the gravity of it. Sebastian was one of those people.He had woken up to find his bed empty. For a moment, there was the clear space that filled in the slot of his memory. All that foggy memories of what happened last night. He was very sure of the fact that he had seen Ava yesterday, he just couldn’t quite point it out well.“Where is she?” He asked himself once more, opening the bathroom door to confirm if she wasn’t right in there taking her bath. She wasn’t. So, Sebastian had to stop himself to contemplate on whatever had happened yesterday.It came to him slowly.

“Hell no! There’s no way I’m allowing this to slide.” Sebastian said, fuming with rage, and gritting his teeth so hard that someone close to him in a reasonable distance would hear it clearly. Kimberley and Ashley were the first to approach Ava. They asked her how she was, to which she said she was fine. Kim warned her sister about leaving a place without informing anyone. Ava told her she was going to tell her the story later, so she moved into the reception wherein Sebastian’s eyes were shooting out with rage.“So, where the hell have you been? Do you know how much I have had to look for you all-around the hotel? I almost ran mad thinking about how I’ve lost a lady I got her passport myself in Greece. Are you going to put me into trouble? Is that your plan?” Sebastian showered Ava with questions without even giving her the chance to say a thing. Ava opened her mouth to talk, but before she could, Sebastian’s parents appeared in the background, walking towards Ava.“She was with us
The Billionaire’s Contract Fiancee Chapter 128
Sebastian’s parents watched how Ava stormed out of the reception angrily. They shook their heads, wondering what has changed in their son. At least, they were his parents. Whatever may have come upon him, it should never be as worse as this. It was a colossal turn on them — their own son lashing at them viciously, as if they were his enemies. But, were they really not?“You chose a very good lady to marry. I remember telling her yesterday night that you had good eyes, just like your dad. I mean, see how protective of you she is. Even she knows the fact that your parents aren’t people you turn against.” Sebastian’s mom said, fixating her gaze on Ava as she walk out of the hotel.“My dad? You both still believe I have a dad?” Sebastian asked, chuckling out very loudly at what his mother spouted. He buried his face into his palms and laughed vigorously —almost maniacally— that one was going to think he had really run mad for about a second. “You have a dad. And, this is me right here.”
The Billionaire’s Contract Fiancee Chapter 129
Sebastian’s story with his parents started exactly when he was ten. For all the other children, ten was that age when you received the most attention and love from your parents. At least, that was how Sebastian had seen other parents do with their children. All that unrequited love coursing through them suddenly bestowed on the child. But, Sebastian was an exception. He had always been an exception. His parents had no time for him in any way at all. For all they cared about, they had left enough money for him to buy whatever it was he wanted to buy. Little did they know that sometimes what a kid wants to buy cannot be bought with money. His parents’ attention was one of them. Skrrrr!The fire alarm riddled through all of the corners of the room, one at a time.A loud explosion had came from the kitchen where Sebastian had been. He had been toying with the gas cooker while his parents were in the living room having a good time all by and for themselves. Sebastian was only ten, so his t

All the thought about everything that had happened to him when he was very young was something that would never leave Sebastian’s head. He couldn’t count how many therapy sessions he had had to go to clear off his head from his childhood history. It ends up with the fact that his parents are plague that only appeared to him at the peak of his life.Sebastian’s timer went off, jolting him out of his thoughts of his childhood memories. He picked up the timer, and it was right on time. It was exactly past the two hours the agent had scheduled for the ticket he had booked. He brought out his phone and placed a call across to the agent to confirm if the agreement was still the same, or another provision had to be made for his trip.“Hello. It’s two hours, so have my tickets been booked?” “Yes sir. I was about to call you just not to inform you about it. The process is just as exactly as I had explained earlier. You will get your tickets at the airport. Don’t miss your flight.”“Alright. T

"Let go," Ava whispered weakly, struggling to break Sebastian's hold on her. This had gone too far and frankly, she had had enough of tyrant behaviour. What the hell did he want from her? He had been behaving like a damned asshole ever since they had come back from their outing. "No," he whispered harshly, his breathing fanning her face. She fought the urge to close her eyes and bask in the warm feeling. His enticing musky scent teased her nose and she rather felt like burying her face into his clothes. Sebastian watched Ava's face become even more livid and like the bastard he was, he fucking loved seeing her like that. Her breathing was rushed and mesmerized, he watched her breasts rise and fall rapidly like a madman, hoping they would push through the T-shirt and spill open. Ah fuck. He was doomed. Her defiance irritated him yet turned him on, he had never felt so fucking conflicted. "You're being a jackass!" She spat. "If I knew you were this kind of person-""That's the mista

One month laterThe wedding had been a splendid affair and from the start, Ava was practically forbidden from lifting a finger for herself by Kim, Renee, Violet, and the flock of servants at her disposal due to how heavy she had become and she resorted to staying put unless she risked the ire of the women helping her dress up. Sebastian had planned a proposal with the rest of their friends leaving her in the dark. It was unexpected and it felt real and different this time around, they had come through so many difficulties and they both knew it was the right time to make it all real this time around.At the stroke of midnight on her wedding, Ava was standing at the entrance of the hall already adorned with palatial decorations with cascading floral arrangements hanging from every side of the grand room, sparkling white chandeliers hung high above with delicate draperies completing the settings designed to evoke an atmosphere filled with love and warmth. A group of violinists was posit

It’s been two months since Sebastian was released from the hospital and Ava moved into the mansion with him. The penthouse held too many hurtful memories and she wasn’t eager to go back there and be plagued by nightmares during her sleep. Jake’s trial hadn’t taken a lot of time either, there was a ton of insurmountable evidence against him and the jury didn’t take much liking to him either, or the judge. In reality, no one was going to take the side of a journalist with murderous intentions over New York’s most desirable couple. Their return to the spotlight had been a field day in the media world especially as articles and gossip about their breakup had been going on for a while now, their appearance together had all but quietened every rumor going on about them. Ava was becoming used to being pregnant and after a few weeks of tedious work down at the agency, she had gone on maternity leave that would run well into a few months after she gave birth.One of her favorite parts of be

Damian looked back and forth between Ava and Sebastian and it was pretty obvious that they had eyes for just each other right now, everything else faded into the background. He didn’t need any further clue, his time here was up.“I believe it’s best I give you both some space to talk things through.” Damian cleared his throat, gave Sebastian a nod, and patted Ava’s shoulders as he walked past her. “Do you think they’re going to be fine?” Violet asked Damian as soon as he got to the door. Sebastian spared them a glance over his shoulder before returning his gaze to Violet. “I can’t possibly say for sure but if what I noticed between them was true then we’ve got nothing to worry about.As soon as Ava heard the door shut behind her, she walked towards the bed, maintaining a friendly distance as she pulled out a chair and sat on it. Sebastian didn’t know how to start tackling their issues so he decided to make small talk first, it always worked for him and he was hoping that it wouldn

Ava made her way outside the building and towards the parking lot, it was lonely, just how she wanted it to be. She didn’t want any disturbance or interference from anyone. All Ava had wanted was for Sebastian to wake up from his coma. She spent days at his bedside, urging him to come back to her and he eventually did but she ran. There was no telling why she ran and she didn’t even have any logical explanation as to why she did it, the only thing she could say is that she was scared shitless and that was all she could say. She would eventually have to go back and talk to him afterward but she didn’t know if she could bring herself to do it. “Hey, sis.” Ava looked up to see Kim walking towards her flanked on either side by Renee and Violet, they all wore worried expressions on their faces and she could tell from their hesitation that they didn’t know if they should come any closer or maintain a healthy distance. “How did you guys find me?” Ava asked, her eyes were fixed to the g

“I’m only trying to look out for you,” Kim sighed. “I’m tired of seeing you crying after a couple of months where you think you’re in love and your troubles are behind you. It hurts me as much as it hurts you, Ava.” “I know,” Ava smiled sadly. Kim was right, she’d always been eager to jump right back into it without putting provisions in place in case her assumed fairytale moment didn’t come to pass. But things were different this time around, she had been through a lot and as a result, she’d been forced to put herself first for now before anyone else and if anything was going to happen, she would be the last person to instigate anything. She’d done enough and it wasn’t going to work, she wasn’t going to invest her time lifting a finger. She’s done enough already. “Things aren’t going to be the way it once was. I promise you that.”“Tell me you’re sure you know what you’re doing?” Kim nibbled on her lower lip. “I can’t promise you I know what I’m doing, Kim. But my heart is in the

“You really should stop feeling this way and making us feel like we’re strangers as well,” Kim frowned. “We’re here because we love and care about you, that’s the truth. You’re part of our lives so I don’t see how you keep interfering in what you’re a major part of. You’ve got to accept that so you’d stop feeling like you owe us something because you don’t.”Ava sighed. “Okay, you’re right and I’m sorry for feeling this way. It’s unusual to see a lot of people wanting to help me at the same time and that’s why I reacted that way,” “It’s okay, we don’t hold it against you. We know your past and how you’re still getting used to a couple of good gestures. Kim suffers from the same problem as well.” Violet assured her. “So, you mentioned that Sebastian woke up a while ago?” Kim asked, eager to steer the conversation away from their childhood. She wasn’t prepared to visit memories that she had worked so hard to repress. “Yes, he did. He wasn’t a hundred percent conscious and the doctors

Ava walked back into the hospital room as soon as the doctor mentioned it was okay for her to return. She walked back into the room to see Sebastian soundly asleep. “Is everything alright, doctor?” Ava sounded worried. “Did he go to sleep on his own or did he pass out?”“We gave him a sedative to keep him under for a couple of hours until he regains his full strength, he should feel much after he wakes up this time around and that’s what we’re hoping for. When that happens, we can then begin the final stage of his recovery process.” Ava nodded. “Thank you, doctor. We’re so grateful for the help you’ve rendered.”“It’s my pleasure to help. I’ve known Sebastian since we were both boys and my father has been the Bancroft’s family doctor for decades. He’s like family to me as well.” “Do I need to call you guys once he wakes up?” Ava asked, her eyes fixed on Sebastian. “You don’t need to, we’d be counting down the hours ourselves and carrying out checkups before midnight. You’ve got no

It’s been a week since the ugly incident and Sebastian hadn’t woken up yet. Ava was struggling to pull it together but she knew she didn’t have any other option, she couldn’t afford to break down right now not when she had to look after herself and the baby as well given the fact that the pregnancy was entering into its crucial phase.The doctor urged her to give him time and be patient till he decided to come around. His vitals were good and his condition was improving, he was going to wake up any moment from now, the doctor would always say giving her a warm smile in return. The conviction in his voice always seemed to calm Ava’s nerves so she waited calmly until Sebastian decided to come around.She was in his hospital room, sitting on a chair next to the hospital bed, her knees were pulled up under her chin with her face buried between a historical romance novel by Nora Roberts. Reading helped her calm down and forget her worries and she’d been doing a lot of it during the past f

“Life isn’t meant to be fair to everyone,” Damian offered Ava a soft smile. “It’s just the way life is and we’ve got to make the best out of what we’re given.”“Sebastian doesn’t deserve this,” Ava grumbled.“No one does but shit happens.” Damian shuffled his feet as he struggled to find a comfortable situation. “Do you think he’s going to come out of this? Be honest with me. I could use that right now if you don’t mind.”“Sebastian’s tough as nails. He’s one of the most stubborn men I’ve ever met and if there’s anyone I know who’s going to come out of this, it’s Sebastian.”“Thank you, Damian.” Ava rubbed her arms, trying to calm her nerves. “You’re welcome. If there’s anything you need, please, do not hesitate to inform me.”“I’m good. Besides, I have a lot of people doting on me already and you have work to do.” “If you say so but I’m still here if you need anything.”“I should’ve done this a long time ago but I want to thank you for talking to Sebastian and managing to convince
