Chapter 17
Not thinking about Sebastian was hard.
And thinking about Sebastian and not having a breakdown was harder.
Lorraine never learned.
She had constantly ignored her assistant's calls for the past few days, so much that she had fed her up and Antoinette had just dropped a message saying 'you're nominated, get your ass out of your house'.
It wasn't like Lorraine wasn't happy, she was. But she didn't feel deserving of the award when she couldn't focus on acting. Also because she had to go out now and pick up her dress for the occasion, get a spa, groom herself and stuff.
That's what had led her to get out of the room after taking a long shower, then looking at herself in the mirror for ten straight minutes, opening the above bathroom cabinet and looking at her meds, getting furious and throwing them somewhere in the bathroom, breaking down into another crying mess.
Nonetheless,

Intimately Enchanted Chapter 18
Stepping out of the lemousine, the flashes of lights hit Lorraine's face, questions overlapping questions as the reporters threw themselves over to interview her and click photos. Surrounded by the guards, she entered the massive hall. She was wearing a black v-neck gown, hugging her physique definely. She was fine, refreshed even. The show started. She had missed this, meeting her friends and talking and watching them receive awards. She didn't know how time passed but it was her turn now. "And now we're here to announce, the people's choice awards for the best female leading role, the nominees are..." The nominees play

Lorraine walked into the discreet corridor, totally empty. Brown luxe walls and mahogany framed portraits. Dimly lit by warm glow lights. She was sure this would lead towards the dressing rooms.She didn't know where Sebastian was, there were so many hallways, so she just walked straight, her breathing rather heavy.She gasped when a hand suddenly grasped her wrist and pulled her in somewhere.The next thing she knew, she was pinned on a wall, Sebastian's body pressing against her. Her body squirmed at the heat that Sebastian's body radiated, completely trapping her against the wall.It was nothing but some sort of extra area into the wall, decorated by a vase and several portraits. She didn't really care.He was enticing, gravitating. He leaned closer to her neck, his hot breath tickling her skin. God, she had never felt so out of control ever before. The mysteriousness and the intensity

She wanted to get rid of it.Now sitting in her balcony, Lorraine was high on weed. Too high and overthinking. It was funny because she hadn't overthought in quite some years.Of course, after winning an Oscar, anyone was bound to think that now their life would be of respect and self pride. But the reality was far different, for Lorraine was facing the biggest downfall of her career.Her director was threatening to fire her from the movie and now she is most definitely caught up in a scandal with Sebastian Phoenix. It's as if all her tears had vaporized due to the heat of her rage.But what will happen to Sebastian now? He had told her he wanted to stay away from media attention for a while. She didn't know but she knew that the whole world was his fan. They're gonna come at her too.Why should she care? All she knew was to gift that godforsaken of a director a nice bottle of champagne an
Intimately Enchanted Chapter 21
Lorraine sat there, on the bed of the hospital room she was admitted in, the dull throb to her head keeping her away from the thoughts trying to rush in. Her stitches from the previous injury during the shoot has opened because of the car crash, leaving an even deeper wound.Her career is gone, she is arrested for driving on drugs if she had not paid the hefty amount of money to the authority.What has happened to her?Everything was crashing down.She scoffed a laugh at herself.So this is how Lorraine Acker ends.Her anxiety was off the charts, it was too much to take. Yet, her heart stopped when the gate opened and she saw him. Panic was an understatement as their eyes contacted. Even shocked to see him here.He was glaring at her, jaw clenched, angrier than ever, each emotion fuming from rage. She felt small under his gaze. His aura was silencing, scar
Intimately Enchanted Chapter 22
The dusk had set into night and the hospital had become silent. Sebastian had forgotten about all the crowd and fans and didn't want to come to any conclusion of wether they were still standing out or have left.All he could feel was this burning sensation in him, mixed with anger, the familiar race of his heart when he was near Lorraine and scared. He thought this would go away when he'd see Lorraine for once and made sure that she was well but no, he ended up sitting outside her room and refusing to move.Along the empty hallway of the hospital, he wished that his mind and heart were as empty too. All he had thought about was Lorraine and their consequences and he felt depressed already; let alone be the thought of media and his manager back there in New York.Perhaps his heart had had enough, but within the next beat, tears were falling down his eyes. He let a few years fall, realising there was no one around,
Intimately Enchanted Chapter 23
Lorraine was going to kill someone. While she was hospitalised, she had not gotten the time to check up on social media. But now, that she had been discharged, and preparing to go to New York because the headass had fucking ordered her – the audacity of the man – But she was still going. And she refused to acknowledge the fact that she was going because she didn't want Sebastian to lose his career over a goddamn kissing scandal. Kissing scandals were minor for her, not for Sebastian as he had just gotten dr m his one year mental-break. It created a bad reputation of not working hard and being distracted. There were all sorts of comments like 'its Sebastian Phoenix y'all, of course he had to do it. That too with Lorraine Acker. He
Intimately Enchanted Chapter 24
It was nearing night when they got out of the office and reached the elevator, Lorraine got in first and her skin prickled when Sebastian entered the lift. She could almost imagine that Sebastian's next move would be to pin her against the metal wall, but thankfully, his anger was limited to his eyes glaring holes into her.They reached back to the car, sitting and driving out. Thankfully, Sebastian drove from the back to avoid the reporters."Drive to my apartment." She said, opening her phone to track it through GPS."You're coming to mine."Lorraine snapped her neck towards Sebastian so quickly her neck ached. She just couldn't believe him."I don't know what goes on in your head, Sebastian Phoenix, but I'm not living with three men in a house from which two of them I barely know and one of them is a fucking douchébag."She could see Sebastian's jaw clen
Intimately Enchanted Chapter 25
Lorraine sat at the bed defeatedly, staring into nothingness as tears welled up in her eyes, her throat burning with emotions...and also for the sentence she was going to say next. She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, her eyes boring into the fire burning in the fireplace.But the heat was nothing compared to what Sebastian's body was radiating beside her. It was something so entirely bizarre. There were just too many emotions and she couldn't now, she just couldn't. She had had enough."I love you, Sebastian." She breathed out so defeatedly, shaking her head as the sudden rush of fear rippled through her. "I've always had, you've made me feel things I thought were never possible if not acting in a movie."Sebastian's head didn't snap towards her, instead, a tear dropped from his eye, staring into the same fire as hers."I tried to avoid it so much but it still happened. But if I have to choose between
