Natalia and Sebastian stood outside.Earlier, Sebastian had called Natalia outside so he could talk to her. His eyes were so red and they were also so swollen and staring at him, Talia was able to figure out that he had cried."Sebastian, what's wrong? Are you okay?" She questioned, but he didn't reply immediately. Nathan was asleep, and since Natalia had been with him the entire day, she had no idea what was wrong with Sebastian."Talk to me please, I'm worried." Talia said, rubbing his hands gently. As she saw tears rolling down his eyes, it occurred to her that Sebastian must be really hurt. This time around, she hugged him and began to pat his back gently."It's gonna be fine. Nathan's awake right? We're gonna be happy now, and we'll move forward.""He's gone." Sebastian broke out with a shaky voice.Natalia broke the hug, wanting to stare at his face, "Who's gone?""Mr Mercidi is gone. He's dead. That fucking bastard killed him."Talia was holding Sebastian's hand, but once she h
Natalia was still staring at Sebastian, while he was silent."Leo's working with Massimo." Talia cut in immediately when Sebastian was about to say something. Sebastian arched his brows, but thankfully, Nathan didn't see that.Leo working with Asher wasn't new information to Nathan because Sebastian had told him about it before. "There's a party, and it recently has been shifted. It's in three days time. Sebastian was hoping you would have been better by then." Talia had no idea what the hell was rushing out of her mouth. She had no idea if what she had just said made sense or not, but as she was about to continue, Sebastian cut in."It would be too risky if you showed your face at the initial stage of your healing. Right now, Leo has the upper hand, and he still has the support of every other family member. Even the directors. For now, I think it's best if we do things secretly."Nathan nodded his head, although he didn't like the plan.He had missed so much during that time he was u
It was late at night Sebastian entered the bar, and thankfully only a few people were inside. Sebastian thought of paying a handsome amount so everyone in there would evict the place, but then he thought otherwise because that would probably draw attention to him.He heaved deeply and adjusted the face cap he was putting on. At least, that would be able to cover up his face just well enough for people not to recognize him at first glance.He took his seat on the counter, and called the attention of the bartender."Can you mix something really strong?"The young lady nodded her head Sebastian had picked interest in her the moment he saw her. Not the interest that meant he liked or but at the moment, he found her beautiful, and even more brave because of the job she chose to do."Here you go. Try it out."Sebastian's eyes were still on hers even after she had told him to try it out. "Did you hear me?" When she spoke again, that was the moment Sebastian came to his senses and instantly
"Fuck!" There was a light groan afterwards as she dropped her head backwards. That was so fucking close and she had almost lost her life. Sharon took a deep and nervous breath in and out while she shut her eyes to feel her breath move freely."Oh God."Her heart was still thumping hard, and Sharon was still finding it hard to believe she had just escaped a possible death. She made sure to take a turn that they definitely wouldn't trace or find her just so she could get away and have enough time to treat Sebastian.This was her home here in New York, and her long hidden secret which Sebastian would find out today was that she was super wealthy.She got down from the car, and walked to the other side where Sebastian was still lying unconscious.Two of Sharon's men rushed towards her the very moment they saw her."Gentle on him okay." Sharon warned as she watched them both take him out of the car. They continued to follow her and when they got to a room that she had chosen, Sebastian wa
Everybody kept staring at Leo. His decision was fucking a shock to everyone of them, and now that Mr Mercidi was no longer alive, there was nothing anyone could be do Leo was officially in charge fully now.Kiara stared at him, wondering what the hell Leo must have been thinking when he made this decision. She kept quiet, watching the entire family try to take their stance and make Leo change his decision but it was impossible because Leo had made it known to them that it was his final decision and there was no going back.Kiara didn't utter a word, but sat down quietly and continued to stare at Leo till it was time for everyone to dismiss. Her family were here too and thankfully they just saw the kind of man Leo was. Stupidly, her father had given half of whatever they owned and even a particular percentage of their power to Leo because of everything he had done for them in the past.He won their trust with money, power and reputation in the past and now he was here to claim it all b
Kiara stared at herself in the large mirror right in front of her, and she let out a smile as she thought of how tonight would go down. There was no fucking way she would allow Leo sign that paper.Mr Mercidi and Nathan were no longer alive to oversee things, and now she had to step in to protect their families. If this was the last thing she had to do for Nathan, then she was ready to do it. She had a spy among Leo's men, and so she knew some of the things Leo didn't actually believe she would know.Kiara knew what Nathan could do. In fact, thinking about him made her believe that she still very much liked him, or that the feelings were still there just like the past.There was a knock on the door."Come in." Kiara said.The door was opened and one of the maids walked in. Immediately she saw Kiara, she let out a smile and lowered her head to greet."The master's waiting for your presence in the car."Kiara was still staring at herself. She was putting on a purple sleeveless gown beca
Everywhere seemed rather strange when the kiss was broken after a while. Sebastian was the first to open his eyes and he just couldn't explain how the kiss had made him feel. His body wanted more than that kiss, but he needed to also find out what she wanted as well.Sharon opened her eyes afterwards, with a crimson red cheek as a result of the kiss. It was quite hard staring at him especially because she had started the kiss the second time, but at the moment, all she wanted to do was tell him how much she desired and wanted him so badly.It hurt so much like a knife when he had told her to go the first time, but she was here, and here to stay probably for good. If staying beside Sebastian meant she had to go through this kind of danger, then it was worth it."D… do you wanna talk about anything?" That became Sharon's first words after the kiss, and somewhat, she had not even the slightest idea why she had asked Sebastian that question.He was quietly staring at her, but his mind was
"Hey, what's wrong?" Leo questioned rushing to Kiara when he heard her voice. "It's okay baby, I'm fine." Kiara replied, and raised her head to stare at Leo. "Let's go home. I'll take you home.""Hey, it's fine, okay. Just need to use the restroom and probably I can get it off. I'll be fine, baby, trust me." Kiara pecked him on the cheek and then began to walk away towards the restroom while Asher continued to stare at her even as she swayed her hips while walking.The party was going to start very soon, so Asher had to go, but as he walked away, he just couldn't take his mind off of Kiara. Her face, her beauty, the last expression she had on her face before walking away to the restroom, and then the way she had smiled at Leo.The last part of it made him sneer angrily as he continued to walk. Asher got outside so he could continue to greet most of his guest before the part would start, but still his mind just couldn't leave Talia He felt like she was calling him right where she was
