"You bought Mia's school?" I finally blurted out, still reeling from the shock and confusion. Who was this man exactly? And how far would he go to prove he had the upper hand in all of this? This was beyond my wildest imagination. This was madness in fact. What angered me was the fact that he was showing off his wealth and intimidating people with it. I couldn't believe he had made them transfer Mrs Carter just because she had tried to stop him from taking Mia. What? What the fuck?

Sebastian's voice pulled me from my thoughts as he replied to me in an annoyingly soothing voice. "I've told you, baby, there's no line I wouldn't cross to make you understand how serious I am about all this. I would do anything."

I was fazed. I stared at him for a moment, at a loss for words. The expression on his face was nonchalant and carefree as fuck. He didn't care how I felt about any of this. He was enjoying this. I was certain he merely saw all this as a game. I knew he hated losing but what the fu

  • HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife    035~

    SEBASTIAN'S POVI couldn't believe my ears. I could believe I was actually listening to her spew nonsense. "What?" I spluttered again, my astonishment palpable. Lydia's eyes never left mine as she continued undeterred. "Let me help, Seb. That's all I ask. At least, give me a chance to atone for my mistakes. I swear I'll make it up to you."Oh, now I see what this was about. She was begging me for a second chance. This was merely a ploy to get back together with me. Eventually, I reeled from shock and chuckled mirthlessly. "You know, I never took you for a clown until now," I said to her, scoffing incredulously afterward. The amusement in my expression soon faltered as I said to her icily. "Get out," "Just hear me out, Seb, please," She implored."Get out of my office, Lydia, before I call security on you." I barked.She implored as she reached for her bag, pausing in the process. "Hold on, before I leave, can I ask you something?" her tone was soft and polite, rendering me speechl

    SEBASTIAN'S POV.The door to my office swung open shortly after I pressed the intercom button. My face was expressionless as I kept my gaze fixated on the door, anticipating whoever it was. The door pushed further open as a pair of tanned legs stepped into the office. My eyes strayed from the toes of that person to their head. However, my insides bubbled with intense annoyance as I realized who it was. To my utmost despair and utter displeasure, it was the one woman I never wanted to have anything to do with again in this life— Lydia Walker. My demeanor shifted instantly as l locked eyes with her as she now approached my corner after closing the door behind her gently. Her hips swayed with effort as she catwalked towards me in the sky-blue bodycon dress that accentuated her curves I no longer found attractive. Her long fiery red hair was bouncing behind her effortlessly, adding more to her beauty, again I still didn't find her attractive.My annoyance grew, my patience flaring as I

    SEBASTIAN'S POV; The following day.I was seated behind the mahogany desk in my luxurious office at Weston's Corp, reviewing the prior sales report this sunny afternoon. I was rechecking the reports to uncover where the little complication that had arisen had stemmed from.My expression was neutral, my gaze intently focused on what I was doing. However, just three hours into navigating my way through the computer before me, I expelled a deep sigh. A sigh of exhaustion, cause I was damn tired. I still couldn't figure out where the errors came from, and knowing I needed to discover it before I could return to Kristine and my child, my patience flared.I was annoyed. Frustrated and disappointed with my staff for not being competent enough. I fucking trusted and left them with this before I traveled out. It hadn't even been a month, and everything was starting to go down the drain. Exhaling exasperatedly, I massaged my throbbing temples, trying to ignore the anger bubbling within me. I

    SEBASTIAN'S I was rendered speechless for a moment as I absorbed the news Grandfather had just broken to me. An arranged marriage with the Douglas family. I was to marry their spoiled heiress, Dahlia Douglas. I didn't know much about her, but I've heard of her before now. Rumors about her had circulated in my company some time ago that she was having an affair with two brothers at the same time. The rumors had been dispelled after she publicly announced that she wasn't seeing anyone, but she was just business partners with the two brothers.Not that that was any of my concerns, but now, after what Grandfather had just told me, I knew I couldn't accept her. Dahlia was a notorious bitch, one I wouldn't want to ever get involved with."What do you say, my dear?" My mother's voice resonated in my ears, pulling me from my trance. "Do you agree with your grandfather's wishes?"Her orbs were soft, as mine matched hers. I was at a loss for words, my head shaken with conflicting thoughts. Ev

    SEBASTIAN'S POV My jaws clenched tightly, annoyance dancing in my orbs as I glared daggers at Jamie. I wanted to retort, but I was cut off by my grandfather's icy command."Enough!" His voice sliced through the tension, causing a sigh to escape my nostrils as I looked away from Jamie."That's enough, Jamie and Sebastian," Grandfather added, his tone filled with disappointment as he reprimanded Jamie and I. I could see he was upset. He hated it whenever we had an argument, especially in his presence, as he felt it was enormous disrespect. "Apologies, Father," Jamie's baritone voice resonated throughout the dining hall as he apologized.Reluctantly, I did the same. I apologized to Grandfather for causing a nuisance."It's fine," He dismissed us with a wave of the hand. "Now, back to what I was saying just now," he started again, turning to face me with a serious expression.Our eyes matched, but I didn't flinch despite his intense gaze."You need to remarry, Sebastian. You need an hei

    SEBASTIAN'S POV I walked into the gigantic yet cozy mansion my Grandfather called his paradise. This particular house had been listed among the top biggest and most expensive mansions in the City. The interiors alone cost billions. To think my Grandfather lived there alone with his numerous servants. The whole family only gathered together here whenever Grandfather had summoned us for dinner, and we dared not decline his invitation. There was always a price to pay for disobedience. His sole aim was to make us all united in peace, however, that was impossible considering the hidden resentment most of us harbored towards each other in the family.Speaking of resentment, as I hugged my mother, who had approached me to welcome me home, my eyes caught the animosity-filled look in my eldest brother's emerald orbs as he stared at me from the dining table.I didn't flinch as we locked eyes. I merely averted my gaze as I pulled out of the embrace with my mother."Oh, my sweet boy," Melissa S

    SEBASTIAN'S POV I regarded Lydia Incredulously as I processed what she had just told me. Bold of her to call the same illegitimate son she had tricked me into believing was mine as 'my boy'."Hold on, did you just say 'our' boy?" I asked, corking my brows as a flicker of annoyance sparkled in my orbs.She shuddered, probably sensing my annoyance. "I'm sorry, Seb, but does that really matter?" A tear slipped down her cheek. "He's sick, please help me. I don't know what to do.""What do you mean you don't know what to do? Haven't you admitted him to a hospital yet? And do I even look like a fucking doctor?" I snapped, my fury palpable. It wasn't nice that I was treating her predicament this way, but she deserved every bit of it after all she made me go through years ago. To think it was the same son she was right here crying about. I understood that the boy was innocent in all of this, but Lydia remained his mother. I despised her and I wanted absolutely nothing to do with her cause s

    SEBASTIAN'S POV Touching down at the international airport at exactly 4 in the evening, I pulled out my phone and called my assistant to inform him of my arrival. "I'll be with you shortly, boss," his response sailed into my ears before I hung up.I had returned home after my visit to Kristine because there was news that someone was tampering with my company's sales record, and I needed to figure out who was behind it. Gosh, I felt so exhausted. I haven't been gone for a month, and someone was already acting funny behind my back. I needed to sort things out here first before I returned to Kristine and our little girl.I couldn't lie, I missed them already, especially Mia. I usually felt whole around her, and I missed her presence like crazy. Not just her, I also missed Kristine. Even though she was being hostile towards me lately, I still enjoyed her company, her angry retaliation, and her puny efforts to hurt me. I found everything about her amusing. The expression that had been o

    KRISTINE'S POV"So what you're telling me is Sebastian is here because he wants you back?" I heard Amelia's astonished inquiry as her voice resonated through the phone.Heaving a weary sigh, I nodded in response, like she could see me. "Yeah," I had just told her about what had been going on lately with Sebastian's persistence for a second chance. I had also just told her about the flower bouquet and the apology letter he sent just now."I don't know what to do, Amelia. I mean, I like Dave. I'm serious about him, Sebastian knows that, but he just won't leave me alone. The last time he came to my house uninvited around 8 in the morning, I mean, who does that?"She chuckled with amusement, and I could imagine her shaking her head. "You know how he is, love. I'm not surprised.""It's not funny, Amy. I seriously need a solution on how to get him to leave me the fuck alone. I don't want any issues with Dave. He's already upset Sebastian is still hanging around. There's a crack in my relati
