All Chapters of My Stone-Hearted Billionaire Husband: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“Yes. It’s your husband. Or did you forget you were married?” Sebastian sneered.“I… I–” Kourtney was rendered speechless, and panic welled up inside her.She struggled to find the right words to say. Instead, she felt a lump in her throat. It wasn't that she had forgotten her marriage, but the emotional stress and torture she'd been through these past few days were quite overwhelming. So much so that she hadn’t had a chance to think about anything else, and that’s why his words caught her off guard.“And why the hell were you cutting off my calls? I did say I was going to give you a call after we got married, didn’t I?” Sebastian’s deep voice resounding through the phone line held a trace of anger and malice.Kourtney took a deep breath, trying to steady herself.“I... I didn't realize it was you. Okay?” she managed to respond.‘And even if I did, it’s not bad to ignore you, as well,’ she wanted to add but dared not to.How was she supposed to know he had been the caller all this tim

“Boss. Here's video footage of the Madame eating with her office mates around when you called.Sebastian squinted his eyes as he observed the footage closely. His wife was eating with two others, a female and a blonde “male,” chatting and laughing happily.He sat up straighter on the hospital bed and watched intently. At the time of his call, only the male was with her on the table.He couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy and anger once again as he watched the two of them."Who's that guy?" Sebastian demanded, his voice cold and commanding as he pointed at the male figure in the video.The security guards glanced at each other before one replied, "We're not sure, Boss. Seems to be one of the Madame’s coworkers or a friend."Sebastian clenched his jaw. He didn't like the idea of his wife spending time with another man, especially in a relaxed and friendly manner, despite it being her workplace. Was she that close with all her male colleagues?"Keep an eye on him. I want to know m

Kourtney felt her cheeks flush deeper as she realized the implications of their current position. She was seated on his lap with his arms encircling her waist, and the intensity of his gaze was undeniable. She immediately struggled to get off him, but the man just wouldn't budge. He held her tightly against him. “Mr Woods, I beg you to let me go now.” “Why the rush? We're a married couple, after all. What's wrong about sitting on me?” he rasped. Sebastian's tone was defensive, and he continued to hold her with an iron grip in a possessive manner. Even his usually composed expression was replaced by a flicker of something more primal. There was a burning heat evident in his eyes. Kourtney, on the other hand, was flustered and conflicted, her face a deep shade of crimson red. She wriggled in his embrace, desperately trying to free herself. ’This man! How much more petty can you get!’ she thought. Meanwhile, Sebastian's body, against his better judgment, responded to the close proxi

Kourtney tightened her grip on the bag of fruits as she recognized the couple – Brandon, her ex-fiancé, and her sister Kathlyn, the same people who had betrayed and cheated on her.They seemed so happy together, and a bitter taste filled her mouth as she recalled the pain they had caused her. Her stomach churned, and she felt a headache, witnessing the life that was stolen from her. The universe seemed to conspire against her today.Frozen in her steps, Kourtney debated whether to turn around and find an alternate route, but then, they were standing on the road leading back to Sebastian's room, blocking any escape.Brandon, with his keen eyes, spotted her first. “Kourtney???” he called out.He had a somewhat surprised expression on his face as if he hadn't expected to run into her here.Kathlyn, on the other hand, wore a triumphant smirk, her eyes gleaming with a hint of mischief."Oh, look who's here! Our dear Kourtney."“Oh, Hi,” Kourtney sneered with disgust evident on her face. B

Four hours later, the room's background light had shifted from the warm glow of late afternoon to the dark shades of late night. Sebastian, ever the attentive partner, had dimmed the hospital room overhead lights to create a more soothing atmosphere so Kourtney could enjoy her sleep.Even though he needed more lighting to be able to work, he willingly turned down the lights so she could sleep better. He also couldn’t stop himself from stealing glances at her every now and then.Even with tons of work documents in his hands, he watched her from time to time as she reclined softly against the pillows like a cute little toddler. And the tenderness in his eyes also spoke volumes. She looked so cute! Too cute! “My wife is super adorable!” he murmured.With her looking like this, Sebastian couldn’t possibly concentrate on his paperwork.He could hardly help himself anymore as he reached out to touch her. He gently brushed his fingers against her nose, cheeks, and lips. It wasn't weird or a
