Sebastian broke the kiss only long enough to trace her jawline with his lips, then moved down to her collarbone.Right now, he was in complete control.His lips kept moving up and down her jawline, then to her neck, leaving a trail of fiery kisses that made her shiver with pleasure.Kourtneyâs mind was spinning, her senses flooded with him.

Sebastian was speaking the truth. If they hadn't started up that shitty arrangement, his wife was on her way to give the best speech ever recorded in the history of the Gala. âTheyâre afraid of you,â he continued, voice low and dangerous. âThey want to bring you down because they're afraid of you and your potential. But don't worry. I'll make them pay!âThere wasn't anything he did better than revenge!Kourtney didnât speak. She only nodded at the man, feeling the weight of his words settle deep inside her. His hand brushed her cheek, and she felt her heart flutter anew. He pulled back slightly, looking deep into her eyes. âYouâre mine, and I wonât let anyone get away with hurting you!âHer cheeks flushed, and she nodded silently.

In a panicked haze, Brianna started to sweat, her hands trembling. She started counting her days.She feared not just for her job, but for her life.She just offended the wife of the man who was the most powerful citizen in all of Melbourne.She could feel her life hanging by a thread. âWhat have I done? This isnât good! How can I come back from this?âKourtney had seen that look on her face. âShe knowsâIâm done for!âSuddenly, Sebastian Woods, still holding Kourtney protectively, turned to the crowd. His gaze, sharp and piercing, swept over the room.âI have no tolerance for disrespect,â he announced his voice like a thunderstorm building on the horizon. âTo those who took part in humiliating my wife tonight, prepare for my vengeance!âThe hall went pale and a hush fell over the audience.âPREPARE FOR MY VENGEANCEâ The words echoed off the walls, the dominance in his tone sending chills down everyoneâs spine.He would not tolerate anyone speaking her name as if she were a simple mist
The entire audience was left completely stunned!You could practically hear the collective gasp resonate through the hall as Sebastian held Kourtney in his protective embrace, standing tall like a shield against the world.The reality sank in. This was no ordinary revelationâit was a moment that would make headlines and fuel gossip for months and probably years to come.Cameras flashed, capturing every moment of the drama that unfolded as millions watched live from their screens at home.The Silverstone Gala was broadcast live on television, and the live audience was equally captivated by the dramatic twist.

Kourtneyâs senses sharpened immediately.This couldn't possibly be just a technical mishap! The entire event had been going on smoothly for hours now. So why now?Why when she was on stage speaking?A rush of urgency pulled her attention back to Debbie Howard once more.She felt a bead of sweat trickle down her temples as she recalled the smirk plastered on Debbie's face. It was still lingering, still taunting. Was this part of her plot?What more was she plotting? As if to confirm her suspicion, the giant screen on the stage behind her suddenly lit up and started playing an ear-piercing sound.Kourtney wanted to cry at this point. It was as if the universe was conspiring against her triumph. Her big moment was being ruined by such disruptions.But that wasn't even the end of it.Gasps and loud murmurs from the crowd suggested that something much worse could be happening. People were pointing at the screen behind her.She turned back to face it with her heart in her throat.A vid
Kourtney smiled brightly.Goodness, it felt incredible to be acknowledged in such a way. She knew that the glamorous lights made her look radiant, but their astonishment ran deeper than appearance. She could tell that they couldnât fathom why the most powerful man in the room would break his stoic persona for her.And with each sound of approval from the crowd, Kourtneyâs confidence began to swell, her earlier apprehensions replaced with a fiery determination. She turned toward her in-laws seated in the front rows.Grandpa Woods was on his feet as he supported his frail legs with his walking stick. Kourtney blushed. The Old Man had a sparkle of pride in his eyes, as if saying âThat's my talented Granddaughter-in-law.âApart from him, Edwin, his sister, Clara, and a few other Woods family members were upstanding in honor of her.However, the majority of them, including Sheila, her mother, and her sister still had that disdainful and envious looks on their faces.Nevertheless, the ovati
As she made her way towards the podium, through the backstage, Kourtney was still nervous as hell. The howling and supportive chants from the crowd could do nothing to calm her raging nerves.She just had a bad feelingâŠas if something would go wrong and she just couldn't shake it off. She decided to keep her head high regardless, not wanting to flop.She would grace the stage in front of so many people, her husband, his family, her own family, her ex and his family, and then the entire worldâThere should be no room for flopping!A feeling of impending dread should not be her utmost thought at the moment. She just needed to focus on what she was going to say so as not to appear stupid.But then Kourtney saw her, and her heart dropped.A very familiar figure!There, lurking in the shadows of the backstage area, was Debbie Howard dressed informally in a black and white uniform as if she were among the lighting or technical staff.Kourtney felt a chill run down her spine, like icy fingers
Scarlet knew that getting a little revenge would at least make her feel so much better about herself tonight.While she stood, brainstorming ideas of what to do, the live performance ended.âGive it up for BTS!â the host announced as all seven members left the stage in high spirits.It was a spectacular ten-minute medley of their top hits across the span of their decade-long career. The crowd erupted into thunderous applause, still buzzing from the electrifying performance that had turned the evening into an unforgettable spectacle.The crowd of people that had gathered including Kourtney and Lilian, started going back to their various seats. Everyone was chatting so excitedly.âDid you see that choreography?â one woman exclaimed, her eyes shining with awe.âRight? I thought I was going to faint!â her friend replied, clutching her purse as if it were a lifebuoy.It was one hell of a show!The performance was finally over, and it was time to move on to another part of the program.âNow
His eyes drifted across the crowd, scanning for something familiar.Then he saw herâKourtney.It was effortless to spot her amid the crowd; her vibrant green dress had been so eye-catching all night.Of course, she was going to be there at the forefront enjoying this nonsense!In fact, it was like she was at the center of it all.Soon enough, he was capturing every move she made, unable to tear his eyes away as she danced with her friend. It was almost as if they had previously mastered the moves as they imitated the backup dancers on stage.Hilarious!But the more Kourtney glowed with undeniable joy, the more Sebastianâs irritation melted away, replaced by something warmer as he felt a strange tug in his chest.Just seeing his wife so happy lifted the weight off his shoulders, as if he were dancing along with her.And to his surprise, he found himself swaying slightly in rhythm to the music. Unconsciously, he began to nod his head, tapping his foot against the polished floor.Just wa
