All Chapters of A Touch of Madness: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

I walked into my parents' quiet house, Mom said that she and Dad had to leave for a while to a party for Dad's business relatives, while Ace was still with Sebastian and Vito. I didn't know what they were doing until late afternoon. I just hoped that nothing bad had happened between them because Vito had never liked Sebastian, and Sebastian too.I walked into my room, frowning at my empty clothes room even though I remembered that I had put all my clothes in here after returning from the hospital. Was it Sebastian who brought all my clothes to his house when I passed out at his club two days ago? Yeah, of course he did. If not him, who else would have the courage?I checked Ace's room, and yeah, his clothes that were in the dressing room weren't there either. I suppressed my annoyance that had risen to the top of my head and sighed heavily. I won't worry about my clothes and Ace's clothes, I'll buy them later since I still haven't changed my mind about me staying at my parents' house

The stinging came along with the flowing blood. I spent some time staring at myself, not knowing what to do. My head was filled with curses for myself. I wondered at myself for having such a bad temper. It often led me to do reckless things.I bit my lip, and let Sebastian pull me onto the couch, I let him pull the shards of glass from my hands and put them in a small bowl, I let him clean the blood from my hands. The alcohol he poured on my wounded skin made me wince. Stinging came, but the pain didn't seem to strike me so deeply. Maybe I had a problem with my mentality because I didn't feel anything at all. A part of me seemed empty, and hollow.He wrapped my hand with a bandage while muttering, "We should go to the doctor." He held the back of my hand gently and carefully. Gazing at me with his gentle worried gaze.I withdrew my hand from his gently. "Can you go back to your home? I want to spend some time alone."Sebastian sighed softly. "I can't leave you like this. Your emotions

That morning, the warm spring sunshine enveloped Cambridge, Massachusetts, bringing a refreshing new spirit. I stood in front of our new cafe, looking up at the newly installed sign with a sense of pride and hope. Our cafe's name, 'JOY,' shines in the morning light, welcoming the world with the promise of a memorable experience.Inside, the smell of new wood and drying paint mingled with the fragrance of fresh coffee brewed by Kate."Ace, don't run too fast inside!" I call out Ace, who has been cheerfully running between the still not neatly arranged tables. It's the weekend, and he refuses his father's invitation to play at the zoo. He says he wants to help me. He's so sweet, so Sebastian lets Ace come with me even though he's been playing around and bothering us."I just want to help, Momma!" Ace replied with a big smile, pausing to show me a box of napkins he found in one of the storage boxes.I chuckled. "Well, you can help Jane with the napkins. Make sure they're neatly arranged

If Owen was to guess that Sebastian and I would eventually get back together, it wouldn't matter what happened between the two of us. In contrast, Kate gave Sebastian a wary look, like she was afraid that Sebastian would attack me physically. Sebastian just exchanged a few conversations with Owen without paying any attention to Kate, while Kate also looked unconcerned. By the way, this was the first time I saw them face to face after five years.Indeed, from then until now, Kate has never liked Sebastian. It seemed like she could always smell the worst man in the world's radar just through a glance. Even the first thing she said when she saw my engagement party with Sebastian was, "He's going to hurt you. He's not a nice guy." Even though it was the first time she saw Sebastian."For some time, I still haven't changed my mind about your ex-husband." She muttered, her lips twitching in an exasperated motion.I chuckled softly. "You're very consistent in your opinions.""Obviously." Sh

I lay on the soft bed in this villa for hours. With tears still streaming from my eyes, I gazed out the glass window at the darkness revealing the faint outlines of green trees. It was eerie, almost like a scene from those gore and horror cabin movies. But a different kind of horror gripped me, one more menacing than any cinematic fantasy.The wooden door creaked open behind me, and I turned to see Sebastian entering. His cold, dominant presence immediately filled the narrow space. My breath hitched as he stepped into the moonlight, his harsh, beautiful face coming into view, staring at me with the same darkness he had shown me five years ago.His expression hardened as he towered over me, bending down until his face was level with mine, his blue eyes blazing. I gasped for breath, my chest rising and falling with anxiety and panic."What are you doing?" I asked.Sebastian tilted his head, like a predator observing its prey. He was terrifying. This was his true face, the one behind his
