Sebastian didn’t feel the warmth he had been lying on anymore. He frowned as he was unable to sleep anymore. He slowly opened his eyes and was met with the familiar ceiling of his room. He removed the duvet and sat up on the bed. Sebastian wasn’t feeling a headache any longer, thankfully. He ran his fingers through his head, and tried to remember what had happened last night. The last thing he remembered was calling Charlotte numerous times but she did not answer. ‘What happened after that?’ he asked himself and closed his eyes trying to remember what happened next. He remembered having a panic attack. In order to control it before it got worse, he left his study and headed to his room to use his medication. He could feel the panic attack worsening and so, he overdosed himself.He was lucky that he didn’t die from the overdose and only had a fever. The effects also caused him to feel drowsy and unlike himself it was like he was drunk. “Shit!” Sebastian exclaimed in horror as he
“Why are you so nervous?” Victoria asked Charlotte. She had noticed that from the time they had left the Gerano mansion, Charlotte had been fidgeting and was lost in her thoughts. “I’m just thinking about the fact that the wedding is in seven days. I’m starting a new journey and just thinking about it makes me nervous,” Charlotte confessed. Victoria put her hand over Charlotte and squeezed it lightly to comfort her. “I know how you feel. I was also nervous when I was about to get married to Alexander but I can assure you that you have nothing to worry about,” she said. ‘I’m getting married to Sebastian, everything about him worries me,” Charlotte thought to herself. Victoria smiled as she could tell what was running through Charlotte’s mind. “I know Sebastian can be a bit annoying and cold…” “A bit?” Charlotte blurted out. She gasped and quickly used her hand to cover her mouth. She had not meant to say that out loud. “I’m sorry,” she mumbled. “It’s okay,” Victoria said. “I’m no
“Everything else seems to be in order,” Anne said as she examined the dress one last time to be sure she hadn’t missed anything. “Yes, everything is in order, can I please take it off now?” Charlotte pleaded. This was the third and final dress she was wearing but her patience was running thin. They had been at it for over three hours. She finally understood what Diego meant when he asked her earlier, if she had anything planned for the day. These three women were a terrible combination sent to irritate her. Along with trying out her dresses, Victoria wanted to kill many birds with one stone and so, she called in the hair stylist, jewelry designer and a bunch of other people who were going to be involved in getting her ready on her ‘big day.’ Her mother and Victoria had insisted that she would style her hair three different times for the three dresses and so, they had to pick out three different hairstyles they thought were suitable for the dress. Due to the fact that each of the
“What do you want from me, mom?” Sebastian asked, straight to the point. He had a lot of things to do and he wasn't ready to listen to his mother's scolding.“Trust me Sebastian, the list of things I want from you is endless,” Victoria answered. Sebastian took a deep breath, trying to get himself to calm down. “Why did you call me?” He rephrased his question. “I called to talk about you and Charlotte,” Victoria replied. It was just as Sebastian had predicted. Hearing Charlotte’s name made his blood boil as he was reminded of a fight he was trying so hard to forget. “I’m busy mom, I do not have time to chit- chat with you about Charlotte.”“Charlotte is going to be your wife Sebastian, your work shouldn’t be more important than her,” Victoria scolded. She really wanted Charlotte to be happy and her son was not making things easier for her. He needed to understand that Charlotte was an exception to all the strict rules he had in his life. Sebastian touched the bridge of his nose as
“Where is Charlotte?" Sebastian asked."What do you mean by 'where is Charlotte?'" Victoria replied innocently.Sebastian took a deep breath to calm himself down. If not for the fact that Victoria was his mother, he wouldn't have hesitated to ask his men to torture the answer out of her. "Charlotte went out with you this morning and she hasn't come home yet. Where is she?" Victoria smiled widely at the fact that Sebastian had already accepted the fact that his house was also Charlotte's house. That was a huge progress in their relationship."What do you mean she hasn't come home yet?" Alexander asked in agitation. He turned and gave his wife a questioning look. She glared at him in return and he immediately calmed down as he understood that Victoria was pulling one of her stunts."You didn't care about her a few hours ago, why do you suddenly care? What changed?" Victoria asked in a mocking tone."I do not have time for your childish games. Where the hell is my wife?!" Sebastian ask
Charlotte didn't expect what Victoria had in mind to get back at Sebastian. She wanted her to stay at one of the Geranos' hotels so Sebastian would go crazy trying to find her. She knew that plan wasn't going to work as Sebastian didn't care about whether she stayed or not. He had no feelings towards her. "Mom, I don't think this is going to work. Sebastian isn't going to care whether I'm at his house or not," Charlotte voiced her honest opinion."We will never know if we do not try," Victoria persisted. "Sebastian isn't one to show how he feels if someone doesn't push him to the wall.""But mom…" Charlotte started but Victoria interrupted her."Listen, I want to use this to know whether or not Sebastian cares for you. I promise you this; if he doesn't try to look for you, I'll call the wedding off.""What?!" Charlotte exclaimed in shock."Yes; I do not want you to get into a relationship that doesn't have a future," Victoria stated."But you have to promise me one thing…" Victoria s
She collapsed on the floor as her promise started ringing in her ears. There was no getting out of this marriage. She was stuck with Sebastian.'No!' Charlotte exclaimed sharply. There was no way she was going to fulfill her promise to Victoria. She didn't care if she was about to go against her morals by breaking her promise. There was no way she would try to win Sebastian's love. Never!Sebastian stirred in his sleep. He could feel someone's presence in front of him. It was the person who was watching him intently.He ignored it at first but the stare became intense overtime such that he couldn't ignore it anymore. He opened his eyes and what he saw made him gasp in fear. Charlotte was sitting down on the floor, holding a butter knife in her hand. Her whole appearance was disheveled. Her hair was messy and scattered across her face making her look like a ghost. The murderous expression on her face made her look more terrifying."W-what are you doing?" Sebastian asked as he clutche
"What the hell are you doing?" Charlotte asked silently, shock evident on her face. She didn't expect that Sebastian would suddenly grab her by her waist; thus, she was not prepared for it. "I'm claiming what's mine," he answered in a hoarse voice; one that made Charlotte's heart begin to beat fast.She could feel the blush creeping to her cheeks. How was Sebastian able to say such things without feeling embarrassed? The same part of herself reminded her that she wasn't supposed to show that she was affected by Sebastian's words. Clearing her throat, she said, "I'm not an object that you claim, Sebastian.""I never said you were," Sebastian retorted. He then bent and gave Charlotte a kiss on her cheek. Charlotte was unable to stop herself from turning red. She knew without a doubt that she was as red as a tomato. What was wrong with Sebastian? Why was he acting so strange?"S-sebastian?" She called in confusion as she looked into his eyes trying to figure out what was running throug
