My best friend's billionaire husband Chapter 10: The return
There he was.Sebastian stood in the doorway with Jayden in his arms, his face completely devoid of emotion. His clothes were slightly disheveled, his hair no longer carried the neatness it had when he left, and there was something distant in his eyes that made the entire room fall silent.For a second, nobody moved.Nobody breathed.Then Isabelle saw her son.“Jayden!”She didn't even let Sebastian walk any farther before pouncing on him. She threw her arms around him, dragging Jayden out of Sebastian's arms and pulling him tightly against her chest.“My baby.”Her voice broke.She kissed the side of his face repeatedly, checking his forehead, his cheeks, his little hands, as though she needed to convince herself that he was actually there.“Jayden, baby, Mommy's here.”The entire mansion seemed to hold its breath.The staff stood frozen around the room.Even the officers who had followed Sebastian inside remained quiet, watching the reunion unfold.Isabelle's tears returned, but the

“Lyd, take Isabelle home. I'll handle this.”Sebastian said it without looking away from the street. His gaze was still different, the strange card clenched tightly between his fingers as though whatever was printed on it had dragged him somewhere none of us could follow.“No. What's going on?” I tried to protest.He stepped toward me and stiff armed me gently but firmly toward the car. Isabelle was already at my side, her face drained of color, her eyes still swollen from crying.“This is not the time to argue. Just listen to me.”His eyes fixed on mine, then twitched toward Isabelle.That was when I understood.Sebastian was being serious.Whatever had happened to Jayden had changed something inside him. The man who had spent the entire evening trying to keep his emotions under control was suddenly gone. There was no polished billionaire standing in front of me anymore, no calm husband who knew exactly what to say when everyone else panicked.There was only a father whose child had

Sebastian's voice cut through my gaze at Isabelle.“Where's Jayden?”I looked back at him.The bill was still firmly placed in his hands, but his face had changed. There was something in his expression that made the question feel heavier than it should have.I frowned.“What?”“Jayden. Where is he?”I turned toward our table.Everything looked almost exactly the way we had left it.The plates were still there. The glasses were still scattered across the table. The napkins were crumpled beside the dishes, and Jayden's little plate was still sitting in front of his empty chair.But Jayden wasn't there.My breath caught.His food was still there, sitting in the pool of leftovers he had scattered across the linen table. A small piece of bread remained beside his fork, and his little cup was still exactly where Isabelle had placed it.But the chair was empty.Completely empty.My face turned pale.“No.”The word barely escaped my mouth.I looked around the restaurant.Maybe he was under th
My best friend's billionaire husband Chapter 7: The panic
The handle rattled and I knew for a fact Isabelle was about to burst through that door in no time. Sebastian's hands went cold, and so did mine. For one terrifying second, neither of us moved. The bathroom suddenly felt much smaller than it had a few moments ago, the silence between us replaced by the sound of the handle shaking again.I pushed him away from me, my heart pounding against my chest.“Fucking hide here, keep your shoes off the floor she might see you.”I shoved him into the stall before turning around and trying to make myself look normal. My hands were still unsteady as I fixed my clothes, checked my hair in the mirror and reached for my chap stick.I applied it slowly.Carefully.As though I had been standing there alone the entire time.The door finally opened.“Lydia, are you okay?”Isabelle stepped inside, genuine concern visible in her eyes.I turned toward her.“Yeah, why would I be?”My voice sounded steadier than I felt.Inside, my legs were almost shaking.I co
My best friend's billionaire husband Chapter 6: The silence between us
Isabelle povSebastian had spent the better part of the day avoiding me.At first, I hadn't thought much of it. Sebastian had always been busy, and his work had a way of swallowing entire days without warning. There were meetings, phone calls, clients and endless things that apparently needed his attention before the sun went down. I had learned not to question it too much.But today felt different.He hadn't come home.He had spent most of the day in the office, and when he finally came home at night, something about him immediately caught my attention. His face was rigid, his jaw clenched tighter than usual, and there was a strange look in his eyes, almost as if he had seen a ghost.I had asked him what was wrong.His answer had been cold.Nothing.Then he had urged me to go back to bed.I had wanted to ask again, but something in his expression stopped me.Now he was sitting only a few meters away from me, his composure almost completely restored. If I hadn't seen him earlier, I mi
My best friend's billionaire husband Chapter 5: The dinner
It was finally time for the dinner.The venue was splendid, filled with glamor, expensive cologne, watches that probably cost more than some people's houses and dresses that caught the light every time someone moved. The waiters were all dressed in perfectly fitted tuxedos as they moved with practiced confidence between each table, carrying trays of champagne and expensive meals while soft music played somewhere in the background. Everything about the evening screamed money, status and people who had never needed to ask how much something cost before buying it.I stood near the entrance for a moment, taking everything in.Then I saw them.They were already sitting at the edge of the hall, and Isabelle immediately spotted me. She raised her hand and waved enthusiastically, and somehow I could catch that hand even through the sea of people.She wasn't dressed like plain old Isabelle tonight.She was adorned with what money could buy, wearing a seamless long dress that could dazzle even i
