During the journey to the penthouse, Sebastian remained silent. Instead, Thea, who had looked sleepy earlier, now dozed off in the car, unknowingly resting her head on Sebastian’s left shoulder.

“She’s asleep?” Sebastian asked, furrowing his brows.

“Yes, Sir. She’s asleep,” Pierre replied without turning around. “Helen mentioned that she’s someone who falls asleep easily during travel.”

Sebastian wanted to make sure Thea’s sleeping position was comfortable leaning on his shoulder. But he restrained himself from moving, worried that any motion might wake her up. His thoughts drifted back to the plan he had made the night before—a plan involving Thea.

But this time, his mind jumped elsewhere. Regarding long-term plans, he glanced briefly at Pierre, who was sitting in front, and asked, “Is everything arranged?”

“All set, Sir. Your itinerary for the next three weeks has been finalized,” Pierre responded promptly. “Are you planning to bring her along as well?” he asked cautiously, clearly

  • Bound By Duty, Captivated By Love   71. Thirst

    Sebastian let out a low groan. The sunlight streaming into his room felt too bright, too blinding. He wasn’t ready to get up—sleep still weighed heavily on him, and his body felt far too exhausted to move.“Close the curtains again. I’m not ready to get up,” he ordered curtly, not caring who had disturbed his sleep.“It’s already quite late, and Mr. Pierre said you should have breakfast soon,” replied a girl’s voice from inside the room.That voice… that flat tone…Sebastian’s eyes flew open. A young woman stood with her back to him, dressed in a soft pink uniform. Her long hair was neatly tied up and tucked into a black net, clipped with a matching ribbon-shaped accessory. She wasn’t too tall, nor too short—and her figure was perfectly proportioned.Turn around.The command echoed in Sebastian’s mind. And sure enough, the girl turned to face him. Her gaze was calm—expressionless, giving very little away.She was beautiful. Incredibly beautiful in Sebastian’s eyes, even though he had

    Thea returned to Eireen’s residence after her conversation with Mr. Noam. Watching once again how coldly Mr. Noam treated Shareeza reopened the wound in her heart.If one day God allowed her to bear Sebastian’s child, Thea hoped the child would be a girl. Why? Because that way, she could take the baby and leave with her—no matter their financial situation in the future, even if it meant living in poverty.However, if fate gave her a baby boy, Thea could only pray that he would grow up the way Mr. Noam expected. She was sure Sebastian would love the child unconditionally—but as for Mr. Noam, she didn’t know.The days passed by as usual. Thea spent her time caring for Shareeza. It had been a week since Eireen left, and the woman had yet to return from her personal trip. Was this what Eireen usually did? No wonder she didn’t know her daughter was hurt—she was that absent.Edward still visited often and sometimes stayed overnight at Eireen’s house. When he came and invited Thea out—using

  • Bound By Duty, Captivated By Love   69 – Mr. Noam Tarcisio

    “Mr. Tarcisio has returned.”Thea heard that statement from Helen just as she came back to her room after putting Shareeza to bed.“Mr. Sebastian is back?” Thea asked in return, since she hadn’t received any updates from her employer. A few days earlier, Sebastian had told Shareeza he would take her on a holiday once he returned.“Not Mr. Sebastian, but Mr. Noam Tarcisio,” Helen clarified.“So?”“He asked me to contact you and tell you to come here.”“When?”“Tomorrow.”“What about Miss Shareeza?”“Just bring her along. If Mrs. Eireen gets upset, I’ll defend you,” Helen assured her, and Thea simply nodded. “I’ve already informed the driver,” Helen added, and after Thea promised she would come with Shareeza, the call ended.The next day, Thea dressed Shareeza up as sweetly as possible. She put the little girl in a cute matching outfit and tied her hair with an adorable pink clip. Thea wanted Shareeza to look lovely before meeting her great-grandfather.“Pappous doesn’t like me,” Sharee

    “I’m going to Milan,” Eireen suddenly announced one morning before breakfast.In the twenty days Thea had been living at Eireen’s residence, it was rare to see the woman at breakfast—let alone looking this ready to leave.“While I’m away, take good care of Shareeza. Make sure she goes to school and all her lessons according to schedule. Don’t let her skip anything,” the woman said—words Thea didn’t hear often. Eireen hardly paid any attention to Shareeza. Even when the little girl complained of being tired and asked for a short break from her routine, Eireen would explode and say things that were harsh and unpleasant to hear.“Do you want to grow up stupid?” “Don’t be spoiled. Just because you’re a little tired doesn’t mean you can stop studying.” “You’re a Tarcisio. One day you’ll have to run your father’s business. Don’t be weak over trivial things—life isn’t as light as your little headache.”Thea had heard all of these things. And strangely, seeing Eireen now reminded her of her

    On the tenth day of Sebastian’s absence, Thea accepted an invitation from Olivia, one of Shareeza’s nanny’s friends, to leave the school grounds in search of some snacks.“Don’t you have any plans to continue school? I mean, go to college. You don’t want to pursue it?” the girl asked as she slurped her ramyun at a small food stall about a hundred meters from Shareeza’s school.“I’m not that smart,” Thea replied honestly. “Besides, I don’t have the means to go to college, especially in a big city like this. I’m just a servant. My salary barely covers my meals.” She didn’t have the heart to admit that she currently had absolutely nothing—except for the money in her bank account, which she didn’t even know the amount of.“I was pessimistic at first too. I came to this city with nothing but guts and a promise—my foster brother once promised to help me go to college here. But after thinking it through, I felt bad about adding more burden on my siblings, so I decided to take a break first.

  • Bound By Duty, Captivated By Love   65 – Information

    "Are you currently in a relationship with someone?" Edward asked suddenly, making Thea pause for a moment."Is that something you need to know?" Thea responded calmly."Not really, I'm just curious," Edward replied, looking slightly awkward at Thea’s still flat expression."No. I don’t have a boyfriend." The answer left Thea’s lips without hesitation. Slowly, a smile returned to Edward’s face. To him, it was a sign that he might still have a chance to get closer.Throughout the dinner, they talked about many random things. To Edward’s surprise, Thea turned out to be a pleasant conversationalist. However, from time to time, he found himself frustrated because all his efforts to make the girl smile or show interest never really worked.It wasn’t because he was arrogant, but Edward knew he wasn’t exactly the kind of guy who was hard to like. He realized that he looked decent, and although he wasn’t as rich as Sebastian, he was financially stable. From school to his working life now, many
