Sebastian

Silence stretched across the glass-walled conference room, thick and charged. The overhead lights cast sharp reflections on the glossy table, highlighting the contract pages lying between them—evidence of deception spelled out in black and white.

Sebastian’s grip on his briefcase tightened as he watched the woman across from him skim through the document. Her brow furrowed, lips pressing into a thin line. The man beside her leaned back in his chair, fingers steepled in front of him, an air of indifference masking whatever thoughts churned beneath.

Sebastian had come here expecting resistance, but the sheer audacity of Carpel Myles was grating against his already frayed patience.

The woman—Madeline Grant, one of Myles’ senior legal advisors—finally set the contract down with an exaggerated sigh. She lifted her gaze, carefully neutral, but Sebastian caught the flicker of unease in her eyes.

“I fail to see the problem here,” she said smoothly.

Sebastian inhaled sharply, forcing

    Davina povCourtney pulled her hand from the grip of Alex, and her gaze landed on me once more; the intense look was still evident in her eyes like she was some sort of robot that had been programmed to do only one thing, which was eliminate me. She pushed me backward, and just as she was about to slap me, I sidestepped her swiftly, but I could not deny the fact that I was lucky her hand did not come in contact with my face. “Look who we have here, a janitor who claims to be the CEO of this huge company,” Natalie spat out with bitterness in her tone as she scanned the building. “I'm pretty sure you are yet to realize the category you belong to.” Just as I was about to say something, Courtney walked closer to me once more with a frown on her face. “Shut the fuck up.”“You think you can just come into my family after three years and ruin it?” Courtney yelled, and I heard gasps from the workers, and I placed my hand on my waist in frustration. “God, what the hell is this loony bastar

    Davina pov “How much do you hate him, Davina?” Jane asked as we walked down the hallway, we had just gotten out of the car some minutes ago. “Who are you talking about?” I responded with an arched eyebrow even though I did not pause. “Besides, I think the word dislike will be better since I hate no one.”“From the look of things, it's obvious as to who this person is.” She replied with her hands in her pocket and that made me look at her with a surprised expression on my face. Jane kept bouncing as she walked with me, and just as I turned to look at her, the surprised look on my face dissolved into a disgusted one. “Common, you are a lady, for crying out loud; why the hell do you have to keep your hands in your pocket?” I inquired, my eyes widening in confusion. Jane wore a fitted red shirt with sleeves rolled up to her elbows, paired with sleek black suit trousers and matching shoes. Given her polished attire, I found it hard to imagine her slipping her hands into her pockets; s

    Davina povRose picked up the phone and raised an eyebrow in anger, the fact that she was angry was crystal clear. “What is this?” She said in annoyance as she handed the phone to Davina who looked at whose name it was. “I had no idea he had my contact,” Davina muttered under her breath as she watched the call end. “Or maybe someone gave him the number without my concept.” She added with a stern look as her gaze landed on Alex who avoided her eyes. William's brow furrowed with concern as he leaned forward, his voice low and serious. "What exactly are you insinuating, Davina?" he asked, his eyes locked intently on his daughter's face.Davina's gaze swept the table, her eyes lingering on each person before returning to her father. A wry smile played on her lips as she replied, "Everyone do stupid things and deny it, don't they? I mean, who doesn't end up lying somewhere along the line?" Her tone was light, but not to Alex. He was definitely the one she was referring to, even though s

    Davina pov“And what did you come here to do?” I asked Alex whose hands were still behind him. “You have been acting weirdly lately, and I'm starting to get confused. “Are you going to let me in or not?” He asked and managed a small smile.“Do you think you can just walk in and out of this place as you please?” I asked Alex after taking forever, he took his hands away from his back. “Answer me.” “I'm sorry for what happened today.” Alex apologized for the one thousandth time today, and I had started to get sick of it. “Why are you here? That's all I'm asking.” He managed a small smile, and I gave him a stern look, but the smile on his face only broadened. “Is that Alex?” I heard my mom's voice behind me and I turned to look at her with a confused look on my face. “Yes, why did you ask?” I was forced to ask after seeing my dad seated in the sitting room too, and as usual, he was with a newspaper. “Were you the one that invited him?” I demanded, and she nodded like she was more co

    Davina pov“Who's that?” Alex questioned with a concerned look on his face and it seemed like he was now furious due to the way I talked to him earlier. No one could talk to Alex that way, and from the way he communicates with his dad, you will know he's not someone that his dad yells at. “Who?” He asked again, but I only looked at him for a moment before turning back to the phone. I swiped it to the right, and the call connected. “Trust me, the fact that you know your children now does not mean you can have a chance in their lives,” I said to him with anger in my voice. “The same goes for mine too.”“I'm sorry, but that's not what I was even going to say,” Sebastian muttered shakily, and I only folded my hands above my chest. “Then what was the meaningless thing you were going to say?” After all, almost everything he had been saying for some days now had been gibberish. “Why did you hide it from me?” He asked and I furrowed an eyebrow even though he could not see me. “For three

    Sebastian povSebastian walked in the streets with his hands in his pocket and all of a sudden, he came to a halt and faced the sky. From the look he had on his face, you could tell that he was regretting something. How could he not have known all this while? He exhaled sharply and walked into his car after one more glance at Alex's company.After some minutes drive, he got to his company, and irrespective of the fact that he seemed confused, he had a smile on his face.“Good morning, sir,” Andrew walked up to him with a file in his hands, and the former smiled at him with his hands in his pocket as they both walked down the hallway and shortly afterward, they were at Sebastian's office. “What's that?” He asked Andrew who gave him a file and stood at the extreme end of the table with his hands behind him.Sebastian looked at it, and from the way his eyes moved, you could tell that he was going through what seemed to be the important details. “One hour from now?” He asked and his e
