A Touch of Madness 17
I opened my eyes, aches pricking my body. My eyes tried to adapt to the dim lights in the room. The lamp and the nightlight seemed to be turned off, with only sunlight coming through the gaps in the curtains.The smell of wood is the first thing I smell, and the dizziness in my head is not enough to make me lose my memory.I was still in this room, in Sebastian Sanchez's room."Ow, shit.." I pressed my head, remembering everything. What happened this morning... me and Sebastian's activities. Moreover, under the thick blanket, I was still wearing nothing.I pulled the blanket off, stepping down, intending to leave since Sebastian had already finished with our bussines. Ace must have gotten home from school by now, and he's looking for me. I can't stay here too long because if I don't watch him, he'll skip lunch and focus on his toys instead.But my body is too weak. I even wobble and fall to the floor. I can't stand up. My legs are too weak. Sebastian is a piece of shit. He really was

Once again, the weekend of fun and tranquillity that I had enjoyed for so long no longer seemed to go the way I wanted. Because just as I started to take a hot bath in my bathroom, I had to accept the arrival of my cheeky ex-husband.I didn't know why he could waltz in, but there was no need because I just remembered that he had pulled my father to his side."Here you are, robbing me of my peace so easily." I muttered with sharpness.Sebastian was really something, and I wasn't even surprised anymore when he opened my bathroom and entered casually."Don't you know there's someone in the bathroom?" I asked him, curled up in my bathtub, staring at him intently."You're not coming home,""I've only been in my own home for two hours, and you set a time for me like I did for Ace? You're really unpredictable." I frowned. "And what do you mean by 'home'? I'm in my own home right now." I replied.He leaned his shoulders against the wall and folded his arms, looking at me flatly. I submerged m

"Because, Isa..." he trailed off, taking a few steps forward, followed by my retreating steps. He erased the distance between us when my back hit the wall. "You should know that I'm in charge here."I didn't say anything but stared into his eyes. The demon that was behind everything inside him. That darkness was there behind his ocean-blue eyes. Everything was quiet there, just waiting for something from above to come and disrupt it.If I put in enough effort and courage to trigger his emotions. What would he do to me? Would he have the heart to physically harm me or do something worse than that... like kill me? I don't know.But my own little demon inside me was tempted to try it, and I suppressed that intention to the bottom, at the very core of my being because, well.. surely, I already knew worse. The consequence was that he will kept me away from Ace."You know what, Sebastian? If only you came with remorse in your eyes, apologizing to me about what you've done in the past...then

"Get away from Sebastian."My gaze lingers on his face for a few seconds. "I would, if I could.""I can do it. I'll do everything necessary and you'll get away from him. All you need to do is ask."I snorted, leaning back in my chair. "It's not that easy, Killian. Do you know who you're talking about? It's Sebastian Sanchez!""Yes, of course I know." He replies, sighing loudly as he looks away."And you're still fighting him? He could ruin your life.""Are you underestimating me?""No, Killian, no." I sighed softly. "It's just that no one can go against his boundaries. If I go against it. He'll... he'll take Ace away from me. He'll take us both away." I swallowed harshly. "You know that I can't live without Ace."Killian looked at me, contemplating. I don't know what he was thinking, but there was no longer a solution to bypassing my and Sebastian's agreement. I was already on my way to knowing that if I really stepped out of the line Sebastian set, then he would throw me off a cliff

I opened my eyes, and the pitch blackness greeted me with its horror. My breath came in gasps, and my body trembled. The room around me felt strange and frightening. I was trapped in a maze with no way out. I tried to find my footing, but my steps felt shaky and erratic. Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard in the distance. My heart beat faster, and I felt like something was chasing me. I tried to run, but my legs felt paralyzed, unable to obey my commands. The sound grew closer, and I could feel my breath catch in fear. I turned around, trying to see who was following me, but only darkness enveloped everything. "Isabella..." the voice reverberated through the air, echoing in my ears with terrifying force. I bit my lip, trying to hold back the fear that filled every fibre of my body. The voice was familiar, but I couldn't place it. "You can't run away from me," he continued, his voice like sharp claws piercing my skin. I tried to back away, but my feet felt glued i

Abella Sanchez.Shock assaulted me brutally as I turned around and saw who was standing there waiting for me with her gentle smile.My heart beat with anticipation. Doubt and embarrassment crawled all over my nerves. I didn't feel any of that because of my divorce from Sebastian, but it came because of who I had been hiding from them.Sebastian picked up Ace, cradling him in his arms, whispering in the little boy's ear before walking away from the two of us to enter the mansion.I stepped closer to the middle-aged woman who was his mother. She was very kind to me. She was a soft woman and so thoughtful. Never demanding me with this or that, she always told me how I should be patient with Sebastian. In essence, she was like a second mother to me."Hey, Mama." I don't know if she'll accept the nickname I've always used for her when she finds out what I've been hiding from her for the past five years."Oh my baby. Is it really you?" Her soft smile was still long, and she approached me. "

I felt his steady movements as he stepped toward the helicopter. I tried to resist, but the effort was futile. There was no point in fighting his physical strength."Please let me go, Sebastian! This isn't funny!" I protested, but he didn't sound bothered at all as he sat me on the helicopter seat and then put my headphones on."Not funny? It's very funny to me," he said as he stepped into the helicopter. "We're going to have a great time together."I felt a twist in my stomach as the helicopter began to hover. The scenery changed below us, but I couldn't focus on anything other than the confusion and anger that flared up inside me. "You're really out of your mind, Sebastian," I sighed under my breath."No, I just know what I want," he replied with his signature cocky smile.As the helicopter hovers in the air, I feel myself getting further and further out of control. I wasn't sure what was going to happen next, but one thing was for sure: I had to find a way to get out of this situat

Fear bit into my skin.My blood boiled when I turned to look at him. Sebastian wasn't looking at me. He remained focused on the man behind me, who I didn't think had gotten an invitation from him.This version of Sebastian is a hard-line and intimidating presence that burns if someone steps too close. I couldn't help but realize that the hands he used to defend me with heat were also hands that might have hurt others.I passed him and headed out, but something made my feet stop at the corner, the tension thick enough to suffocate. I leaned against the wall next to the door, peeking out."You have five seconds to explain how you got in here."Kennan's laughter sounded low. "Straight to business, then?" His tone turned tense. "Very well. I turned on the front camera and used a nice credit card maneuver.""There are two chain locks on that door.""What can I say? Maybe you should have used three."Silence fills my ears, and I can tell Sebastian isn't amused. "If you want to leave here w
