Chapter 7: The wedding Night
Last Updated:
2025-02-27 21:04:38The drive to the Sebastien estate is chokingly silent.
Roxanne sits in the back of the luxury car stiffly, her hands curled into her lap. Across from her, her new husband reclines with effortless grace, his suit well tailored, and his gaze distant.
He has not spoken a word to her since they left the wedding venue, not even a whisper of reassurance, no comments…. Just nothing.
It was as if the whole drama at the wedding had been nothing more than a formality to him.
The reality of it starts to settle on her like a huge weight.
She is now Roxanne Sebastien.
Not by her choice, not by love, but her circumstance.
When the car finally pulls over at the estate, Roxanne felt herself gasping.
The Sebastien estate is something out of a dream, it was a kingdom. It has towering iron gates that stretches beyond what her eyes can fully take in at once.
The mansion itself was ahead, a grand architectural work of glass, marbles and carefully curated history. It has manicured gardens from the entrance, and warm golden lights it from the windows like something out of a fairytale.
She suddenly felt small.
She had thought she was prepared for this, but she was not.
The car doors opens, and a long line of staff stands at attention, their uniforms crisp, their expression unreadable.
The Sebastien family name carries a lot of power, but it is Ciel's presence that dominates at the moment. The way the staff's eyes subtly look at him, waiting, measuring, and very respecting.
Ciel steps out of the car first, adjusting his cuffs with some casual disinterest before turning slightly, and extends his hand towards her.
It feels like a silent command.
Roxanne hesitates for a second before she place her fingers in his. He has a steady grip, firm, but not cold. She straightens her spine as he leads her into the big estate, ignoring the subtle glances the staff exchanged among themselves.
This is her home now.
Inside the house, everything is polished to perfection. Marbles floors, chandeliers that gleam like captured stars, walls lined with artwork that probably cost more than her entire generation.
Yet, despite everything, the mansion felt empty.
As if the beauty is just a well structured illusion.
“Welcome home, Mr. sebastien. Mrs. Sebastien.”
The staff bowed slightly with their head. Ciel barely acknowledges their greetings.
He acted the perfect husband in front of them, by resting his hand lightly on Roxanne's lower back, guiding her up the stairs as if he is truly a loving husband.
But the moment the staff left their sight into their designated roles, everything stops. The warmth in his touch fades.
The unreadable expression was back in place.
By the time they got to the master bedroom, Ciel let the door shut ehind them and walks past Roxanne with looking at her. He undoes the first two buttons of his dress shirt and loosens his tie with ease.
As if the whole day has been nothing more than a business day to him.
Roxanne watches him, not sure what she had been expecting from him.
He does not try to touch her.
He does not demand his rights as a husband, does not leer at her, does not even make a comment about consummating the marriage.
Instead, he walks to the bar cart in the corner of the room and poured hismelf a drink. “I assume you are tired.”
His tone is neutral.
Roxanne blinks, completely thrown off by his casual talk.
“I…”
“You are free to use any of the rooms here,” he said as he swirled the liquid in his glass before taking a sip. “No one will force you into anything.”
She grips the fabric of her dress. “What?”
“I won't touch you unless you ask me to,” Ciel simply said, as he settled his glass down. “And even then…. I might make you beg.”
Roxanne was surprised.
Ciel's leans against the counter, watching her with quiet amusement.
“You think I am cruel, don't you?”
Roxanne narrows her eyes. “Are you not?”
“Perhaps.” He tilts his head, studying her. “But I do believe in fair things. So I will offer you a deal.”
“What deal?”
“One year”
She frowns.
“If you don't want this marriage, you can leave after a year.” He says with a steady and measured voice. “But until then, you will play your role.”
Roxanne watches him closely. Why? Why would he give her a way out?
There is something she is missing, something he is not saying.
“And what happens after a year?” She asks.
Ciel's smirks. “We will see.”
Roxanne clenches her jaw. “And what if I do not agree? What I want more?”
The amusement got back into his eyes.
“Then, We will see who gives in first.”
He takes a step towards her. Not close enough to touch, but enough to invade her space.
She refuses to step back.
His voice drops, low and teasing. “Are you scared of playing with me, Mrs. Sebastien?”
The way he says her new name made her shiver.
But she meets his gaze, not giving in.
“Are you scared that I will win?”
“I think I am going to enjoy this marriage after all.” His smirk deepens.
Meanwhile, back at the Renwick Manor, Evelyn sits in the dimly lit lounge, swirling wine in her glass as Reina paces around furiously.
“This can't be happening,” Reina seethes. “She was never supposed to be the one in that position. That should have been me!”
Evelyn echales slowly. “It's now over yet.”
Reina whirls on her mother. “How? He chose her. That arrogant bastard dismissed me like I meant nothing!”
Evelyn set her glass down with a sharp clink.
“Then we make him understand why you should be the one by his side.”
Reina's eyes darken.
“What do you want me to do?”
Evelyn smirks, her mind already working on a plan.
“Whatever it takes.”

She moved carefully the next day down the halls of the mansion. Such estate was literally a world in itself, vast and bigger than one could think, and silent.One could smell power and wealth from every part of the house, from the crystal chandeliers overhead to the windows that looked at the perfectly manicured gardens. The ceilings were dauntingly lofty with elaborate ornate, and the air perfumed with the faintest scent of polished wood and expensive cologne. It had its beauty, but it was distinctively chilling.And she felt it was not meant for her.Not because she was not worthy, no, she refused to believe that.But because this world had been built without her in mind.Heavily weighed down by the Sebastien name, even more so than the heaviest piece of jewelry she had ever worn, she walked along corridors where she could feel the eyes of the staff upon her. Their faces were placid, as far as she could tell; they had little to say to each other, but She wasn't that naive. There

The troubles started sooner than expected.Roxanne had just barely started to adjust to the Sebastien mansion before the world outside tried to claw her neck.And, of course, who else would make that move if not Reina.She was very desperate.Roxanne was standing near the stairs when she heard noises from the front door.The domestic staff were trying to keep their voices low, but she could see through the tensionCurious, she moved forward as her eyes narrowed until she could see the unwelcome guest.It was Reina.She had a fitted gown on. She was looking desperate.“I am here to see Ciel,” she said with a firm voice. “There has been a terrible misunderstanding.”The butler, an older man with a look of practiced indifference, replied evenly, “Mr. Sebastien has not requested to see any visitors.”Reina's polished bravado cracked for a split secon

Every black Tie Charity Gala is a work of art. For a typically grand ceremony like this, an equally grand venue in New York takes precedence: the who-who from this gala extends from CEOs all the way down to celebrities, that mix of power players that have fashioned this city into one of wealth and influence.Photographers lined the entrances, illuminating the red carpet stretching toward the double doors of the ballroom with their flashes.Roxanne sat inside the limousine now almost slowing down. She shifted uncomfortably, the cool sliding sweat slipping between her fingers and the fine cloth of her dress.The dress had been selected out of a whole list drawn by the sebastien family, especially for occasions like this. It was a very elegant piece-black and clung to her curves, then flowed effortlessly onto the floor.It was the kind of piece designed to turn heads, not that she was quite sure it was a good t

The next morning after the gala, the world was already buzzing.Roxanne was scrolling through her phone with a pounding heart, as article after article flashed across her phone screen.“Mrs.Sebastien’s Mysterious Past -Who Really is Roxanne Renwick?”“Ciel Sebastien’s Wife Exposed? The Night She Does not Want Anyone To Know About!”“A Billionaire’s Bride……or Just another Gold-Digger?”Her palms became sweaty as she held her phone. Her breathed hitched at the words across the page when she opened one of the articles.“An inside source had claimed that Roxanne Renwick had a secret lover before her sudden marriage to Ciel Sebastien, whose identity she had discreetly kept undsiclosed.

The Sebastien estate was quiet as it has always been. Roxanne was wandering around as usual. It's been just a few days since her wedding to Ciel Sebastien.She had not meant to snoop around.She had been searching for anything to fill her mind with.And that was when she came across a book on her husband's desk in his study.She decided to read it and as she was about to pick it up, she saw some papers beside it.She pulled them closer out of curiosity.She started to read them.Her heart stopped after she read the first page.It was a contract, a marriage contract for her and Sebastien.She was breathing heavily as she read through the neatly typed clauses.Duration of Marriage: Indefinite until either of the parties involved request dissolution.Financial Agreement: Mrs. Sebastien will get full support financially, including personal expenses, property, and discretiona

Roxanne had remained as an observer since her marriage to Ciel. She was never included in things that concerned the family except when it's needed to put on a public display.The estate where she stays with her husband is quite big and showcases power, and wealth.She had been wandering around it for the few days she had been married, trying to get to know it's occupants.She had been married into one of the powerful families in the country, but she never felt included.She was not okay with being a wife that's tossed into the background. She would not let herself be looked down upon again, and disregarded.Now that she's here, she would make sure she carry the Sebastien name with purpose.And she was going to let Ciel know about it, tonight.She found him in his study, as usual, with a glass of whiskey beside him.He looked relaxed, but Roxanne knew better. The man was always watching, and calculating.

That evening, Roxanne was still trying to work out the task given to her by Ciel.She was neck deep into it and didn't realize he was standing close to her.She jolted to consciousness when he coughed slightly to get her attention.She was surprised to see him.“You said you wanted control over your life, isn't it?” Ciel said quietly. “You seem quite serious about it.”“Why are you here?” Roxanne finally asked him as she kept her expression neutral.“Well, I would like you to put a pause on what you are doing and work on this.” He said as he gave her a folder. “There is a socialite in our circle. Vivienne Montclair.”“She's highly connected, and influential, and…” Roxanne could see something like amusement in his eyes.“And?” She asked as she arched her eyebrows.“And she is presently interfering in a business deal that concerns me. I would like you to convince her to step back without it causing

Roxanne could not find any comfort in Sebastien's estate since she came because she had been thinking about her brother.She had not seen him since her sudden marriage to Ciel and had no idea what was going on with him.That morning, she was scrolling through her phone, trying to focus but the tightness in her chest would not let her.A sense of unease has been eating her up since she woke up.Reading through the message on her phone, she could not be at rest.“Roxanne, this is Finn's nurse.

He has been asking for you, but your step mother…she will not let us get across to you directly.”It was from an unknown number.Finn.Her little brother.Her only family, who had never betrayed her.She stood up from her seat immediately.

The next morning, Ciel and Roxanne were woken up by the morning light streaming gently into the bedroom where they slept.It cast a soft gold light on the silk sheets.Roxanne slowly stirred as the light touched her face.She was still wrapped up in Ciel's arms, feeling the warmth of his embrace.His arm was around her waist as his breath fell on the curve of her back.She did not want to move away, at least not yet.There was this sense of peace between them that she did not want to let go of.The kind of peace she wished she had all her life before she met Ciel.And love that felt too big for the house to fit it into, even if it's very large.But eventually, they had to disengage.By the time they got up, and got dressed, Ciel already had back his usual sharp composure.However, there was this softness in his eyes when he looked at Roxanne.He had a smile that seemed to speak louder than words ever could.Their breakfast table was already being prepared downstairs by the chefs.They

She was still in her sitting position.Her heart was thudding as she replayed Ciel's confession in her mind.It was the first time she heard he was involved in a plane crash at a young age that claimed the lives of his brothers.He had also had to carry the weight of the billion dollar business of the family since then.And he also has to live with a secret that he didn't tell anyone.Until he told her.And amidst all this, he was strong and survived through it all.And he is still dominating.But she could not hold herself back.She needed to ask him a question.Whispering, she asked him.“Ciel, why did you not tell me this initially?”“Because I do not want any pity from you. I like it better that way.” He answered as he looked at her with some quiet intensity.“No, it's not that. I actually admire you.” She said,He brushed his fingers against hers, as if he was trying to decide if to believe her or not.“Do you really mean that?”“Yes, I do.”She said as she reached for his jaw, a

Ciel could not answer the question Roxanne asked him.He only sighed, and took her hand.He led back into their room for the night.They would be spending the night at his parent's house.The night was heavy, and it covered the whole area in a very quiet serenity.The estate lights were shining over the trimmed hedges and the still fountains located in the central location of the estate.It lit up the whole place.By the time they retired Into their guest suite, Roxanne freshened up and stood by the tall window.Ordinarily, she should have been tired after everything that happened during the day, but her mind was too restless to be still.She knew she and Ciel could not return home that night, especially after what happened at the dinner.It would feel awkward, especially since Ciel's family didn't hide their hostility towards him.His mother had offered for them to stay behind.Ciel had accepted with the usual casual and disinterested way he does things.She could see that the whole

She had asked the question because of what had happened at the dinner earlier that day. She was sitting beside Ciel in the big dinning hall of the mansion. It was a beautiful sight. But she could feel it also. She could see that his family objects to him even if it's not loud. It felt like he did not belong there. And it made her angry. It was clear Ciel was more sharp, powerful, and far more wiser than these so called family members who behaved as if they were above every other persons. But, they act like he was not their own blood. As if he was an outsider. She had no idea why it was like that. But she knew one thing. She would not sit back and let them treat him that way. During the dinner, Rex, had leaned back in his chair with a smirk in his face that was infuriating. He had been stealing glances at Ciel all through the dinner, throwing subtle sharp remarks towards fim, disguising it as a causal conversations. It was clear to Roxanne that he was teasing him. But w

Ciel’s driver drove Roxanne and him to his family estate.It was a bit long, but she barely noticed it.She sat beside him, Ciel , in the back of the car.She had her fingers clasped tightly against her laps.The windows were closed and tinted.She could see the city's skyscrapers from the inside, same as the beautiful buildings that make up the city and the estate they were in.The further they moved, the more they came across very beautiful buildings.And, finally, the driver stopped at the gates of Sebastien's mansion.It was not just a house.It was more like a castle.It stretched far across acres of private land, which were shielded by tall walls and a towering iron gate.And it has very unnaturally perfectly trimmed hedges.The mansion itself was a testament of old money elegance.It had massive columns, alongside grand windows.And it also had a driveway that was large enough to fit a dozen luxury cars.Roxanne breathed in and out.She had been in high society long enough to u

She just sat there, looking at Ciel in silence.She was angry Reina had tried to make another attempt to seduce her husband.It was quite pathetic.She wondered what she was trying to achieve with the seduction.Was she trying to get back at her?If that is the case, is that not a weak attempt?Or could there be a deeper conspiracy at play?A target at her career, maybe?Or she was just hell bent on ruining her public image by getting involved in a scandal with her husband?That was still weak and predictable.But the fact she did made an attempt to steal her husband was something she would not forgive her for.Ciel could see the anger in her eyes.He had seen her angry before but that was something else.The look on her face was of something he could not decipher.It was not not anger.It was a cold one that could tear down Reina if she was with them at that moment.She then breathed out slowly, as her chest rose and fell in controlled breaths.“I promise. I am going to destroy her.”

As Ciel left her on the green, Reina felt indignation run through her.She stomped her feet on the green grass as heavily as possible.She was furious.She had been trying to hold the anger in.But she had to let it out now that he had left.Her perfectly done and styled hair that she had spent a considerable amount of time to get done, now felt heavy and kind of pointless.Her confidence had been at an all time high when she got here had actually shattered the moment she realized Ciel had seen through her schemes but she had kept a straight face.She could not believe it.She had been subtly mocked again.Her advances had been rejected.Ciel had not even shown any signs that whatever she did had gotten to him.He had not considered entertaining the idea of her advances.She thought she was making progress when he agreed to play a game with her.Only to realize he had agreed only to make it clear to her that she disgusted him.Her fingers clenched around the gold club as she bent down

As Ciel gathered his things in a bid to move away, his mind thought about many things.He had never been the one to indulge in meaningless conversations, but the way Reina was pursuing the conversation with him in a relentless manner was becoming amusing to him.As he turned to away, he hesitated and looked back to Reina.His lips then curled into a smirk.“You know, I heard an interesting rumor, Reina.”Raising an eyebrow, she asked with some interest.“Oh really? What kind of rumor could that be?”He calmly set his things down with an effortless grace that only added to his aura.He then tilted his head a bit, looking at her in a way that seems to be weakening every single one of her defenses.Still smirking, he said.“I heard you were pregnant.”The words came unexpectedly to Reina.It felt like a slap to her face, but she managed to keep her expression neutral.Regardless of how she tried to compose herself, she could feel her pulse quicken as she heard what he said.With a scoff,

Reina had always been a girl who got what she wanted from childhood.And it transcends into her adolescence, up till her present age.And it translated into how she relates with men.To her, she believes men are predictable in nature, and if you can offer them the right temptation, they would lose their composure and fall.It has worked a lot of times and will continue to work.She thought her dad's idea was great, but before her dad finalized his plan, she decided to try something on her own.She believes Ciel may see through what her dad was planning.He was not stupid.That she knows too well.He was a different breed of man.Therefore, she decided a one on one meeting with him first would help do the trick.The private golf club in the city was a place that is exclusively for the elites.It's a place where businessmen meet and make deals, while playing games leisurely.It's also an opportunity to waste money on drinks worth thousands of dollars.They do not hesitate to make such t
