Skylar

I hurried after Sebastian, still clutching the untouched Black Card in my hand.

After a short walk, Sebastian stopped in front of a uniformed staff member.

"The jewellery floor," he said simply.

The employee straightened instantly.

"Twelfth floor, sir," she replied politely, gesturing toward a row of glass elevators. "You can use this lift."

Sebastian gave a small nod.

Without slowing his pace, he looked at me. "Come."

I followed him through the polished hallway, past the soft glow of di

  • Falling For My Ex-husband's Trillionaire Brother    Chapter 57:

    Sebastian It had been about ten minutes since Skylar left to use the restroom, and she still hadn't returned. I glanced behind me for what felt like the third time. My gaze swept across the ballroom again, but there was no sign of her.Honestly, I didn't like leaving her alone somewhere she wasn't familiar with, especially with my family around. The presentation on the screen had already ended. The MC was now making a few final announcements before the next part of the evening began.I grabbed her purse from the table and made my way toward the restroom.I had barely reached the hallway when I saw her.My heart stopped. Skylar was sitting on the floor, her head hanging low.“Skylar?”She didn't respond and I hurried toward her.“Skylar,” I called again, firmer this time.She slowly lifted her head.Her eyes looked heavy, and her cheeks were flushed.I crouched in front of her, studying her face. “What happened? Why are you sitting on the floor?”She didn't answer.I glanced around

    Skylar The company's anniversary tribute had just begun.The lights dimmed as a short multimedia presentation celebrating the company's history appeared on the enormous screen at the front of the ballroom. Old photographs, major milestones, and images from the company's earliest days flashed across the screen while the MC narrated the story behind the Blackwood empire.But honestly, I couldn't focus on any of it.I really needed to use the bathroom. I had drunk so much water throughout the evening, and after eating all that food, my bladder was practically begging for mercy.I glanced at Sebastian.“I need to use the bathroom,” I whispered, setting my purse down.He immediately looked at me. “Do you want me to accompany you?”I glanced toward the screen.The presentation was still going, and knowing how important this event was, someone could need his presence at any moment.“No.” I shook my head slowly. “I'll be back in five minutes.”He studied me briefly before nodding. “Alright.”

    KateI walked away from their table with clenched teeth, forcing myself to keep my expression composed as I made my way back to my seat.I had arrived at the banquet late, and the moment I spotted Skylar sitting alone, I had seen the perfect opportunity to approach her.Honestly, I still couldn't believe Skylar and Sebastian were married. When Alex and the others had told me, I had thought they were joking.Skylar? Married to Sebastian Blackwood?It didn't make sense.Skylar had never been particularly classy. She had always been too simple, too naive, too satisfied with things that barely mattered.And Sebastian was a literal mogul.A man whose name was recognized throughout the business world. Even Alex could only dream of having the kind of wealth and influence Sebastian possessed.At first, I thought the marriage had to be some kind of trick. Maybe Skylar had married him just to make us jealous. Or perhaps she wanted to make it seem as though she had completely moved on from Alex.

    Skylar My heart pounded heavily against my chest. A suffocating feeling spread through me, sending a cold sensation all the way down to my feet. That was what being near Kate did to me. The same person I had once considered my best friend and sister. The same person I had trusted with everything. ‘Don't let them get to you, Skylar. You're amazing.’ She used to say that to me all the time. We had grown up together and even went through high school together. I had told her things I had never told anyone else. And she was the same woman I had caught having sex with my husband in his car. The memory flashed through my mind, so vivid that I instinctively curled my toes inside my shoes. “It's been a long time, Skylar,” Kate said softly. I stared at her. I had been able to hold my ground against Cecilia because I had prepared myself for that encounter. But Kate? I hadn't expected to see her at all. I tightened my fingers around my glass, trying to stop them from trembling. “It ha

    Skylar From across the table, I could feel his gaze on me.Alex.I didn't need to look to know it was him. I could practically feel his eyes following me, as though he had been watching me for most of the evening.I took another sip of my orange juice and kept my attention on the stage.Alex had always been the kind of person who needed to feel in control. He hated losing his grip on people, especially people he believed belonged to him.And I was pretty sure that was what bothered him most about seeing me now.I wasn't crawling back to him nor begging him to take me back. I wasn't miserable.I was sitting beside my husband, wearing a dress that made me feel beautiful, and not even batting an eye lid.Alex probably hated that more than anything. It wasn't love that bothered him, but his inability to control me anymore. He was just like his mother. I didn't turn around because I had no desire to see his face.Besides, I knew he wouldn't dare approach me while Sebastian was sitting bes

    Skylar The moment Sebastian's car came to a stop, I felt my nerves return.I took a slow breath, glancing down at myself before looking through the window.The entrance to the venue was already glowing with bright lights. Beyond the security barriers, cameras flashed from every direction.There were people everywhere: men in perfectly tailored suits, women in elegant gowns, waiters moving in and out of the building, and security personnel stationed around the entrance.I looked down at my dress one last time before taking a breath.“Ready?” Sebastian asked.I looked at him and smiled. “As ready as I'll ever be.”He reached for my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. Then we stepped out of the car.The moment I appeared, several cameras immediately turned toward us. Flashes went off almost instantly.“Mr. Blackwood!”“Mr. Blackwood, over here!”“Mrs. Blackwood, look this way!”I blinked against the sudden brightness.The two security guards immediately moved ahead of us, creating a clea
