CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN

Sebastian was about to knock again, but the door was pulled open before his fist could reach to it, and Reynolds showed up from behind the door, an unimpressed look on his face.It was a look that showed he was being disturbed and didn't like that. Before he could speak, Sebastian beat him to it,"What---""Where's your mother?"The boy's frown deepened,"Her bedroom. Where else should mommy be?""She's not in her bedroom, Reynolds.""Then, she must be with Alex and Oliver. They're outside playing."Sebastian was a little relieved, he mouthed an unappreciative thank you to the boy.He was about to leave, when he stopped himself and returned his attention to the boy, who remained by the door, a quizzical look on his face."Why aren't you with them?""Because, I am busy." Reynolds's reply was curt, but he choose to ignore it, asking him instead,"With what?""Assignments and learning, what else?""I want to speak to you....privately."

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE

Isabel's eyes blazed with a fierce intensity as she confronted Sebastian, her voice trembling with rage and grief. "You knew, didn't you?" she spat, her words dripping with venom, as she glared at him with bloodshot and tearsmeared eyes."You knew about the accident, about my parents...it was your car...."Sebastian's face was etched with guilt and shame as he nodded slowly, his eyes cast downward,"I'm so sorry, Isabel," he whispered, his voice barely audible,"I wish there was anything I could do to change the outcome of that night...I wish I hadn't been so careless, letting my emotions control my action...I am sorry, Isabel."All his pleading, but she was beyond consolation. She took a step closer to him, her fists clenched at her sides,"You were driving that night, weren't you?" she accused, her voice rising to a crescendo. "You were the one behind the wheel, not your driver!"Sebastian's eyes snapped up to meet Isabel's, filled with a deep sorrow and regret,"Yes..." He confesse

He felt like he'd been punched in the gut, his breath knocked out of him.He thought about the look on Isabel's face, the shock, the anger, the hurt. He knew he'd broken her trust, shattered the foundation of their relationship. He couldn't blame her that she hated him, and if she chose to leave him, he deserved worst.Reynolds stopped knocking and turned to him,"Daddy, she won't open the door." The boy inveighed,"What did you do to her?"His eyes dropped to the floor, his shoulders slumping under the weight of his guilt.

They would despise him, knowing he was the cause of their mother's loss and misery.And once his whole family is turned

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN

Isabel alight from the aft hatch of the plane, letting out a weary sigh.They'd landed the Seattle Tacoma International Airport minutes ago, and she was exhausted, both mentally, physically and emotionally. However, it wasn't the five-hours long that caused her exhaustion, or the fact that she was both hungry and sleepy. Far from that. Her exhaustion and melancholy was due to the heartbreak and betrayal she'd gotten from the man she loved, and the fear that she might never get to see her sons again, until they're old enough to come visit her.The latter reason horrified her the most, but the fact remained what it was. She might never get to see them again until they're old enough to visit on their own volition, because legally, they aren't her sons and she has no rights over them.Now, she would've to move on and live her life like they never existed to her. She wouldn't get to see their smiling faces anymore, or hear them bicker over random things. She wouldn't get the opportunity

Austin was still fuming,"He needs to be taught a lesson, after everything he has done.""Austin, I don't want you to get involved in a rivalry with Sebastian. It is not worth it." She advised him,"Sebastian is the worst person you'd want to get into a feud with, and I wouldn't want you to get hurt because of me.""I am not scared of him, Isabel and you shouldn't be.
