Chapter 8

Hunk Alert
I had thought what Rebecca and I had was over. I never expected her to come after my family or me.

I had barely settled back into work at Grant Corporation after my honeymoon when Rebecca called.

"Sebastian Grant, divorce Victoria and come back to me," she demanded. Her voice was low, and she sounded obsessed.

I almost laughed at her sheer audacity. "Rebecca, do you even hear yourself?"

"You really think I don't know, huh?" she snapped. Her voice was laced with sick certainty. "You loved

    A jolt of alarm shot through me, and I instinctively sidestepped. Victoria reacted faster. She yanked me behind her and drove a kick into Tobias' wrist, sending the knife clattering to the ground. Almost immediately, the bodyguards charged forward and subdued the wildly struggling Tobias. "Sebastian Grant! This is all your fault! You ruined my life! You destroyed it all! This is what you've done to me!"He was pinned to the ground, but he still roared, and his eyes glinted with malice.Victoria held my hand tightly. She looked down at him with cold eyes. "You brought this on yourself."In the end, Tobias was sentenced to several years in prison for attempted assault. As for Rebecca, when she learned of what Tobias had done, she broke down completely and went mad. She spent her days in her cell, clutching a pillow and muttering to herself.One moment, she was laughing, and in the next, she'd be crying. Over and over, she repeated the same words. "Seb loves me… He'll come see

    I had thought what Rebecca and I had was over. I never expected her to come after my family or me. I had barely settled back into work at Grant Corporation after my honeymoon when Rebecca called. "Sebastian Grant, divorce Victoria and come back to me," she demanded. Her voice was low, and she sounded obsessed. I almost laughed at her sheer audacity. "Rebecca, do you even hear yourself?""You really think I don't know, huh?" she snapped. Her voice was laced with sick certainty. "You loved me too much to marry someone else. You're just doing this to spite me!"Then, Rebecca changed tack. A note of threat crept into her voice. "If you don't do as I say, I can't promise your family won't suffer for it."Rage surged through me at once, and I said coldly, "Go ahead and try. Let's see who ends up regretting it."I hung up and immediately set my counterattack in motion. I gathered everything I had on Rebecca and Tobias—the absurd bet they'd made, his years as an escort, the wealthy

    The Milton family elders were livid. Rage and humiliation twisted their expressions as they shouted, trying to stop Rebecca. However, she seemed deaf to it all and lunged forward like a madwoman, desperate to reach me. Just then, Victoria stepped forward to shield me. Her gaze was icy as it settled on Rebecca. "Ms. Milton, this is my wedding. I suggest you show some respect," she said. Her voice carried the faintest edge of mockery.Yet, Rebecca's eyes never left me. Regret was written all over her face as she cried out, "Seb… you don't want me anymore? I love you… You can't leave me!""Ms. Milton, the moment you chose to hide your identity and be with me because of a bet, we were doomed," I said coldly. "You toyed with my feelings for five years. Do you think I should give you another chance, or make you pay for it?"Rebecca's eyes widened in disbelief."Y-You knew?" she asked. Her voice broke with anguish. "N-No! Seb, it wasn't like that. I fell in love with you a long time

    Before long, it was Rebecca's birthday. She spent the entire day on edge, constantly checking her phone and waiting for my message. However, it remained silent. There wasn't even a single notification. At last, she couldn't take it anymore. She grabbed her keys and drove to the hotel where I had secretly arranged a proposal for her. However, when Rebecca pushed open the ballroom doors, what greeted her was nothing like the romantic scene she had imagined. Instead, it was a bustling corporate cocktail party. Guests in evening wear filled the room, and laughter rose above the clink of glasses. Rebecca froze. She grabbed one of the hotel managers. Her voice was tight with urgency as she demanded, "W-Wasn't this place reserved for a proposal? How did it turn into a cocktail party?""I'm not sure what you mean, ma'am," the manager replied, confused. "The gentleman who booked this venue canceled a month ago. He's getting married, so he no longer needs it."The words hit Rebecca l

    Tobias stared at the scandalous photos on the screen. The color drained from his face, and he swayed as if he might collapse at any moment. "N-No! These pictures are edited!" he stammered. His words were tumbling over each other as he frantically tried to defend himself. "It was Sebastian! That bastard set me up!"Then, he turned to Rebecca, grabbing her arm in desperation and throwing himself fully into the role of the victim. "Becca, you have to believe me! I didn't do any of this! Sebastian's just jealous. He's trying to destroy me!"Rebecca looked at Tobias, so desperate in his defense, then back at the damning evidence on the screen. Her thoughts spiraled into chaos. Yet, even as her friends tried to talk sense into her, she shouted, "I believe Tobias! This is just Sebastian's way of trying to get my attention!"Even though Rebecca claimed that she believed Tobias, a secret thrill stirred within her. If I had gone this far, did that mean I still cared about her? Did that

    The anger on Rebecca's face faltered, and a flicker of guilt crossed her features. She looked like she was about to speak when Tobias gently tugged at her sleeve.Then, she took a deep breath before saying, "Tobias and I grew up next door to each other. I won't let anyone push him around. "Seb, stop making a scene. Just apologize to him, and this ends here."Though Rebecca's tone softened, it still carried a commanding edge.Boy next door, huh?I snickered. "Is that so? Well, if you care so much about him, I'll step aside for him. Rebecca, we're done."Having said my piece, I turned and walked away without a backward glance."Sebastian Grant!" Rebecca shouted after me. "Fine! Break up with me then! But don't you dare regret it! Just look at yourself. You're almost 30! Do you really think you're still some kid in his 20s?"Her words cut deep, but I didn't slow down. I simply walked away.Regret? The only thing I'd ever regretted in my life was meeting her. Meanwhile, Rebecca
