83 – Entangled by Your Charm (1)
Last Updated:
2025-09-23 21:05:50Sebastian wasn’t asleep. From the moment Thea had tried to wake him, his body had been fully aware, but he had no intention of opening his eyes—let alone returning to his own room. This time, even though he could have asked Thea to come with him, he chose not to. He preferred to stay right there, savoring the closeness of their bodies pressed together.
To deceive Thea, Sebastian pretended to sleep. He was used to controlling his emotions and breathing, so even now he could keep his breath steady and calm the rapid beating of his heart that refused to slow.
He thought that by pretending, Thea would soon drift back to sleep again. But she didn’t. Instead of falling into slumber like before, she remained restless. Even without moving, Sebastian could sense it. And if Thea leaned forward just a little more, she would surely realize just how awake he truly was.
Sebastian held himself back when he felt the upper part of Thea’s body shift slightly away. He wan

“S-Sir?” Thea was clearly startled to see Sebastian behind the wheel. He was dressed in a plain white short-sleeved T-shirt, long jeans, and a black cap on his head. Far from looking like a businessman or a tycoon, he appeared more like a man in his twenties.“Can you use another way to address me? Don’t call me ‘Mister,’ because right now, I’m not your boss,” Sebastian said as the car exited the basement.“But…” Thea frowned, hesitant.“You can address Edward casually, even though you haven’t known him long. Can’t you be just as relaxed with me?”“The thing is, Edward—”“Younger than me?” Sebastian cut her off, displeased with her tone.“That’s not it,” Thea replied.“Then what is it?”“From the beginning, we were neve

Sebastian was in excellent spirits all day. After realizing that his feelings weren’t entirely one-sided, he began to hope more strongly that Thea would accept him soon. Tasks that had once felt burdensome now seemed lighter. Still, time passed excruciatingly slowly, because all he wanted was to return to the penthouse, to see Thea, and to spend the night basking in the warmth he could only feel with her.Not just physical warmth, but the comfort and happiness of her presence.Yet, just before lunch, Sebastian received unsettling news.“The owner of the employment agency contacted me and said that Thea’s grandmother had an accident,” Helen informed Pierre over a phone call that was put on speaker. “Thea’s mother asked her to immediately get in touch with Thea and deliver the news. The agency owner confirmed that Thea’s grandmother slipped in the bathroom and has been taken to the provincial hospital.”&ldquo

Sebastian returned to the penthouse just before dinner time. When he saw the table setting, he frowned because only three sets of cutlery had been laid out. “Why only three?” he asked Helen. The unspoken rule in Sebastian’s penthouse was that everyone considered part of his inner circle—Pierre, Helen, and Maxine—had to sit at the same dining table, as Sebastian disliked having empty seats.“Thea already ate earlier and chose to rest,” Helen replied. “It seems Maxine wore her out today.” She said it without a hint of complaint or blame, more as a statement of fact combined with an assumption.“Where’s Maxine?” Sebastian asked curiously. “Right here. Did you miss me, love?” Maxine answered as she appeared from one corner of the penthouse. She looked fresh, makeup-free, with her hair still slightly damp. “Don’t be mad at me for exhausting your lover. Remember, I’m here to teach her,” she added teasingly, flicking Sebastia
Bound By Duty, Captivated By Love 89 – Eireen’s Question
“Damn it!” Eireen grumbled behind Maxine’s back as she continued walking into the restaurant, ignoring her. “Do you think that rumor is true?” she asked Yiska, her voice filled with anxiety and nervousness.“How would I know,” Yiska replied with a shrug. Her expression was flat, but deep down she also despised Maxine, feeling that the transgender woman was always a hindrance to getting close to Sebastian. Just like Maxine disliked Yiska, Yiska disliked her as well. Yiska knew Maxine was well aware that she had been secretly working to drive a wedge between Eireen and Sebastian by subtly influencing Eireen.“Why don’t you try asking Aithan?” Yiska slyly suggested. “He’s Sebastian’s best friend, and they clearly meet every day at the office, so Aithan must know if Sebastian is planning to remarry or is seeing another woman,” Yiska added, clenching her fists beneath the table.Eireen looked at her friend for a moment, hes

“The decision whether you’ll stay or leave him,” Maxine repeated, stressing her words. Thea only shook her head, because truthfully, she herself didn’t know what to choose.“Forget it, you still have plenty of time to think it over. Besides, the longer you stay conflicted, the happier Sebastian will be—because that just means you’ll be here longer,” Maxine said with a careless expression.“So, what do you want to do now? I’m obviously not going to teach you how to cook since I’m terrible at it. How about we learn something else today—something we can actually practice?” Maxine continued.Thea only responded with a nod.“Change into something more comfortable, because today we’re going to spend the whole day—and maybe the whole night—out,” Maxine said before leaving Thea just like that.Thea chose a short-sleeved T-shirt, a pair of jeans, and flat sandals. She didn’t wear heavy makeup, just sunsc
Bound By Duty, Captivated By Love 87 – The Decision
Thea lay on her bed, sleeping alone tonight in her room at Sebastian’s penthouse. He hadn’t asked her to stay with him. Just as he had said earlier, Sebastian truly ended their contract: right in front of Thea, he tore apart the original agreement she had signed.Happy?She didn’t know. Thea herself was confused about her feelings. All this time living with Sebastian, she had always believed that breaking free from him would mark a new chapter in her life. But now… she didn’t know what to feel.Thea was lost. She felt directionless. She had no idea where to begin, or what she should do first. Return to her hometown? That wasn’t truly the choice she wanted. Her desire to avoid her father and mother was far stronger than the urge to see her grandmother.Her dream of working and earning a lot of money seemed to have vanished into thin air. She chose to be selfish, refusing to meet her mother’s endless demands. She deserved to be happy, didn’t she? She had the right to enjoy her own life.
