Sebastian POVHannah had stopped crying. I wasnt one to comfort people but with her, my heart ached at her state and encouraged me to console her. Yet, I could sense Hannah did not want comforting as she turned around and wiped her face as soon as she realised she had let her mask slip away and had bared her vulnerability before me. She quickly started tidying the room with her back facing me, silently telling me she preferred my ignorance over my attention. I left the room not because she wanted me to but because I had to deal with a vile contemptible swine.As I headed towards one of my underground bases, which I have in all of the major cities in each country, should Maschitis ever be summoned. I ask for my guards to remain outside as I enter the room which looks somewhat similar to an interrogation room. Joshua was handcuffed to the table infront of him, at this moment in time I wished it was Machitis and his men dealing with him as he would have been hung upside down from the cei
Sebastian POVAs I opened the email containing the CCTV footage from yesterday, I hoped that Haley had not lied to me. She was one of my close friends that I cared for and I trusted her loyalty. It did not take me long to track the timing as I knew what time Haley left work and the time she arrived home yesterday. I watch Haley enter the penthouse and walk close to where Zoe and Hannah are conversing. Listening to Zoe and Hannahs conversation, im confused. Firstly, why was Zoe probing in the matter of my relationship with Hannah, Zoe was not an inquisitive person and this was against her character. Secondly, what did she want to tell her before confirming her relationship status. I observe Haley eavesdropping into their conversation, I had not expected her to be the type to snoop around. As I listen to Hannahs reply I know Haley had not got the information from eavesdropping as Hannah had not denied nor accepted our relationship. However, when I heard her tell Zoe that she would soon
Sebastian POVI wake up due to the soft movements against my hold. I slowly open my eyes to find brown silky tresses sprawled on my chest, Hannah was trying to release herself from my hold. I had not realised when I had fallen back to sleep with her in my arms, her scent was like an aromatherapy."Keep moving and I will have no option but to subdue you until I have my desire fulfilled and under control". I say to her in my morning voice. She slowly raised her head to reveal her face, the bruises on her jaw and neck had subsided significantly. She had good skin, which i notice hardly blemished. As her gaze fixes with mine she stills, I can see hesitancy, she's used to me scolding and insulting her. I watch as she lowers her gaze before she requests," Can you please let me go I need to use the bathroom." Part of me wants to reject her request and keep her in my arms and the other part of me knows that if I keep her in this position I won't be able to hold off my desire, so I let her
Sebastian POVHannah looks perplexed. On my way back from the airport I had asked her to be ready as I was taking her out for the night. She had decided to wear a black dress and tights with heeled boots, a small mobile side bag over a cream waterfall jackets. I found her look to be somewhat suitable for a date however, I had arranged for us to spend the night at one of my exclusive luxurious apartments. I wanted her all to myself with absolutely no disturbances so I had ensured that the entire complex was vacant. As I had her settled and offered her a drink, I could see that she was both confused and uncomfortable. She hadn't expected me to bring her here to one of my other temporary homes. I could also understand her discomfort as she wasnt used to me being civil with her. I sat there watching her take small sips of her juice before placing it back on the table," Ahem, why am I here?" she asked me without taking her gaze off the the floor. " finish your drink". I ordered her. I d
Hannah POVAlot has changed in the last 5 weeks between me and Sebastian, since the incident on his birthday. Sebastian is no longer cold towards me, he doesn't insult me, nor punishes me, I would say he is trying to fulfil his rights as my husband. We don't converse much, ive come to know Sebastian isn't much of a talker and he is naturally quite dominant, but this doesn't bother me nor do i hate him. Quite the opposite actually, im not sure when, but I have slowly started to fall for him. I'm attracted to him in such a way that the mere thought of him coming home has me all excited and prepared for his arrival. I dont really know how to apply makeup nor dress my hair in any way fancy, but I have started to pay attention to what I wear. I have never been affected by any other in my life time, but the effect he has on me gets me all aroused. We have spend every night together and this is the only time he does speak to me, but I'm hopeful these are the first steps towards him completel
Sebastian POVAs she trailed behind me into my study, I sat behind my desk contemplating the idea of taking her in my study. I knew she wasn't expecting me as I had not informed anybody of my early arrival apart from Luca. Yet, she stood there looking as though she has walked out of a magazine shoot with her dark tresses let loose and her ripened lips held between her teeth. Her long sleeve emerald t-shirt clung onto her body, and the black 3 quarter loose trousers concealed most of her slender legs. I had not heard her calling me as I planned the night a head of us. "I wanted to give you something but its not ready, so im just going to tell you instead". The amount of excitement she expressed i could not help but to listen to her, wanting to discover the reason behind it. " I'm pregnant. You're going to be a..." I did not let her complete her sentence as I comprehended her words,"IMPOSSIBLE". I roared through gritted teeth.She flinched and took a step back, I could tell she wasn'
Sebastian POVIt's almost 2 hours since she has been in theater, it shouldn't take this long, but I guess Hannah may have started to play up again. However she had been awfully quiet after I had insterted the suppository, I hadn't attempted to converse with her as I knew she was still upset. The doctor walks into the room," Mr Agreste, we have successfully completed the abortion, do you want Hannah to remain in hospital or do you to take her back home."" I will take her home as soon as she is stable". I didn't want her to stay in the hospital as it would take her longer to recover and she probably will be reminded of the events. Hannah is wheeled in to the room, she is unconscious as i had ordered them to put her to sleep as I didn't want her to be awake during the process. I rung Mrs Flemington and asked her to prepare some soup and make sure that there was enough pain relief at home. I had been informed of the pain from possible contractions she may suffer. As soon as Hannah had
Hannah POVI have been suffering for the past 2 weeks, I tried hard to pretend everything was ok, to comfort my obliterated heart. I thought if I dont show how broken I am after something so important, so vital was snatched away for me, everything will go back to what it was like before. First time in my life I was given hope, hope to look forward to life. I have never complained about the hardships ive been put through, I never intended to either. People have always imagined me to have the most perfect life, I was born in wealth, I had been blessed with health and I was given the opportunity to gain so much knowledge yet, I lacked freedom, the ability to make choices concerning my life. I was living a life in hiding, in fear, in dejection. My parents were helpless when it came to my safety so it wad transferred to my husband. My husband took on the responsibility to protect me from the dangers I had been running away from for more than a decade only to become a bigger imperilment. La
Sebastians POVIt is one week to our engagement, I am counting each day, not because I'm excited or that I can't wait to be engaged to Haley, but the opposite. As the days are getting closer im starting to feel what Gabriel described it as a death sentence. Each time I have to think of my engagement, my chest hurts like its being crushed and my breathing becomes difficult, my mind loses focus, I have often had to walk out of meetings. Luca has been concerned about my health, but I know its not a physical problem. The only thing that relieves the symptoms is the memories of Hannah, the time she worked for me, the times we played chess, the times I had taken her and many many more. Im losing myself and im not sure what I feel anymore.Suddenly my thoughts are interrupted by the office phone" Mr Agreste, your engagement has been leaked". I was shocked by Lucas words, I had made sure everything was kept private and no details were leaked. " Find out who leaked the information". I ordere
Sebastian POVIt has been exactly a month since the day Hannah left. Each day I spend time reminiscing and going over the memories of her. I remember the first time I took her to work and she told me she was more qualified to take my job! Hannah had such a unique character just like the rest of her. I've acknowledged and accepted that the grief of losing her will stay with me. Each night I need to visit her room, its the only thing that can calm me, its my therapy. I would sleep in her room but I dont want anyone to find out also I want to preserve her scent. I've prohibited anyone from enetering her room, no one can clean it, it stays in the same state she left it apart from the bedding. At first I thought I could buy some of the products she used to replace the scent, but I soon realised Hannah had her own natural scent that no product in this world could replace. Aunt has notified me that Gabriel had recovered significantly however, he cannot forget Hannah. Aunt spoke of his first
Hannah POVHis words completely broke me, I had thought wrong all he felt for me was lust. He chose his cousin over his wife, a wife that he held no feelings for. As I begged and pleaded for the sake of my love he felt nothing but pity for me, my love was worth nothing to him. As he handed me the envelope and asked to me to sign it my hands shook uncontrollably just as my tears flowed freely. He was handing me the divorce papers, I opened the envelope and took out the few papers binded together. There were many clauses included and at this moment in time I couldn't read nor understand anything. " Is it ok, if I read this in my room once I've cleared my mind". He looked at me with pity, yes I could clearly see it now, he pitied me. "ok". I didn't wait any longer, I quickly rushed out, I dont want his pity anymore. As soon as I got into my room, I let out the tears that I had with much difficulty kept at bay. Sebastians POVAs soon as she left, I did not feel relieved I felt a fore
Sebastian POVI had called for both mine and Gabriels parents in the suite. I had explained to them how I came to marry Hannah and everything after up until Gabriels attempt at suicide. Gabriels mother was disappointed at us and I did not complain, her son was lying in a hospital bed because we had mishandled the situation and thereafter I had made the biggest mistake of planning to go back on my word. My parents on the other hand remained silent, I could sense the disappointment and something else. " Mother do you have something to say". I could tell my mother was hurt and at this moment in time I would rather her voice her thoughts." I am disappointed, but what I dont agree with is your plan from here onwards. She is your wife and she is at no fault for all the decisions you two have made up until now. If she has chosen to be with you, then you must respect that." She pauses before she continues," I dont care if you don't love her Sebastian, this is your punishment and Gabriels.
Sebastian POVI had been feeling slightly off for the last couple of days but today this feeling had completely overtaken me. It was as though something terrible was going to happen, I could not concentrate on my work. A few hours later I had attended all the important matters that required my attention and was just about to start working on one of the contracts for a meeting tomorrow when suddently my PA Lauren rushes in without knocking," Mr Agreste, I've just received a call from the hospital, your cousin has been admitted, he is in a critical condition". She tells me with panic written all over her face. I was about to arrange for my private jet to take me to the UK when she completes the last part of her sentence,"Dr Simmons has been called to attend to him". Dr Simmons was our emergency family doctor who worked at the private Agreste hospital in New York. " He is here in the US". " Yes". she was confused at my question. I disconnected the call and grabbed my suit jacket an
Hannah POVIt has been a week since we got back from Japan, alot has changed between Sebastian and myself. As soon as he gets back from work, which has been much earlier compared to before, he whisks me to the entertainment room. Most of the time playing chess, cards or talking about general stuff. Later at night we spend time in his study, I help him in some of the paperwork, looking at contracts, ledgers and at times new plans, I had got quite used to this. We would spend the night together, of course I had moved into his room and I had moved most of my items in there. Sebastian had taken me out a couple of times but usually to places that were quite isolated, I wasnt sure why but I felt he didn't quite like being around too many people. It did not bother me as the only person I wanted to be with was him.In the last week and a half after he confessed his feelings and thoughts, I couldnt help but fall deeper for him. He had already said that he did not love me and what he felt for m
Sebastians POVAs I observe the sleeping woman opposite my seat, I cant help but reminisce the time I had in the last 4 days. Hannah had me completely stunned, I was amazed and enlightened at how intelligent and entertaining she was. I had not imagined that I would want to spend each second in her company, with her beside me I was completely distracted from everything else. It wasn't just desire and need she satisfied there was something else about her, that had me feeling content, satisfied and entertained with her mere prescence I was becoming obsessed with her. I wanted her every bit of attention on me and the only time I allowed her to steer away was when she was tired and needed sleep. The first night I had tried to teach her how to swim, I say tried because I had been completely distracted with her body on full display. I had made the mistake of choosing a two piece, each time I held her to provide her support my body would react in a way that had me completely humiliated over
Sebastian POV"You have the right to blame my kind, you can use the difference between you and them to express your hate whereas I've been hurt by my own people, yet I don't have any right to blame them because they are my people and I'm expected to accept what ever they inflict on me."As she let me in on this information, I felt something else for her which I had not before. At the same time the hate I held for her kind intensified knowing that they had hurt her. I tried not to dwell on the matter as I knew it wasn't going to help me and I had already accepted her so there was no reason to dwell on my past. I spent the morning observing her during her sleep I wanted to wake her up and do much more with her, but I was aware that if I did she may not be able to get out of bed for the rest of week. Now that she is awake I better inform her of my plans with her today and how I plan to spend the next 4 days, as I had cancelled my plans to return to the US." I have made some plans for u
Sebastian POVI couldn't hold myself back anymore, she needed to know what I feel for her. Within 3 strides I was right infront her, and before she could protest or say anything I grabbed her arms and restrained them above her head whilst I kissed her deeply. The kiss represented how she made me feel, desperate, possessive and completely out of control. She did not respond at first as I assaulted her lips until she overcame the shock, she attempted to release her hands and tried to kick at me, however I pressed my body against hers restricting her from any movement. I wedged one of my legs in-between hers rubbing it ever so slightly against her heat, I could sense her resolve melting, her body had started to react to mine without her consent. Her protests had weakened and she opened her mouth to allow me entry, I took this opportunity to satiate my hunger and quench my thirst of the last couple of days I had deprived myself of her. My whole body was applauding and appreciating my deci
